Information For Correspondent Who
Asks About Rer Prophecy.
A correspondent writes to the New
York Sun to ask for information con-
ce2ning the so-called prophecy Of
Mother Shipton. What is commonly
spoken of as Moeher Shlpton's pro-
phecy is a piece q rhyme which was
first printed about 1852. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Carriages without horses snail so,
And accidents ill the world with woe.
Around the earth thoughts shall fly
in the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root OF tree,
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In black, in white, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In a land Ahat's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England snail at last admit foe.
The world to an end shall come
IN eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
This rhyme was published in an al
legged reprint of a chap book version
and was included with about ten 9th
ers, according to Notes and Queries,
in a book issued by Charles Hindley,
Of Brighton, England. For a num-
ber Of years it was supposed by many
that It was what it purported to be,
namely, a prophecy uttered 10y Mother
Shlpton in the first half of the six
teenth century. Several persons, how
ever, cast doubts on its authenticity,
and in April, 1873, Hndley wrote to
Notes and Queries and, to use the
words Of that periodical, made a
clean breast Of having fabricated the
prophecy
There is some doubt as to whether
there ever was a Mother Shipton. The
Century Encyclopaedia says she was
born near Knaresborough in York
shire, in July, 14SS, and died about
1853. 1t also says in regard to her
that she was "a half mythical English
prophecies, baptized Ursula Southiel,"
who married Tony Shipton, a builder.
Other authorities says she was prOba-
bly, wholly mythical Various other
prophecies Of less interest than the
one quoted are attributed to her

Remarkable Memory.

There died few days ago an in mate of Saratoga county institu- ton, a resident of Waterford, who was possessed of a remarkable mem ory. He did not attend school while in his youth, but was possessed of in telligence which was deep and far reaching. One of his peculiarities was the exactness with which he could tell the time of day. He never carried watch, could not tell the figures on the dial of the town clock, yet if one asked: 'Ed, what time is it?" the re- ply would be as correct as the time denoted on the most costly and cor rect chronometer. He was also exact in his geographical computations, and could bound every state in the union and every county in New York state and give the population there of. He was a strict grammarian, yet he could not read, and as an arith- metician and lightning calculator he was not to be equaled in his native birthplace. He had an aversion to cruelty of any kind. and had pre- vented many Waterfosd boys from injury.-Troy Press.

THE CHARM OF CoRDlALITY.
Those Who Possess It Help to Make Life Bright and Others
 Happy.

It is not enough to have gone through the world merely greeting people and recognizing their existence simply because we could not well avoid doing so. It is truly duty that we owe to our fellow-associates that we know something of the art of being cordial, says the Detroit Free Press.
 Some folks are born with knack in this line, others never see the plain necessity for cordiality-as it rests with themseives--and again there arc others who early in life realize that there is something wrong in their dis positions and immediately set about the correcting of them. These are the wise ones. The ones lacking in wis dom go all the days of their poor. mar row lives, blaming the world and the people in it, and declare that more than half of what one hopes and dreams of doing all proves failure, no mat ter how hard one may try, declares an eastern correspondent.

DIScoNTENT IN ICELAND.
Esaszders Want Larger Measure of achievement Than They
 Possess.

Even Denmark is having trouble with her dependencies. The latest murmur of discontent comes from Ice land, where the inhabitants are ask ing greater measure of home rule, says recent dispatch. The only com promise Denmark offers is that a new councillor be granted the Icelanders. who shall have seat in the Danish parliament or rigsdag. This is sup posed to be what the Danish govern ment means by "a moderate extension of home rule" But this is just what the leelanders do not want, as they think that it would mean a gradual iessening of the power of their own althing.
 According to the constitution grant ed Iceland during the visit of the king of Denmark to the island in 1874 it is stipulated that Iceland shall be "an inalienable part of the Danish king dom.' This has been interpreted by successive governments and parlia- ments to mean that Iceland is a mere department or stitte and not a sep arate state, entirely independent of the Danish parliament, though under the same king as Denmark Since the adoption of the constitution, the Dan ish interpretation of which does not satisfy the claims of Iceland to auton- omy. no efforts of the Icelanders to obtain increased administrative pow CTS have been conceded.
 A committee of the althing is now in Copenhagen for the purpose of get ting the king to intereede in their be- half and free the althing from its de- pendence on the Danish ministry and parliament, and have Iceland only to do with the king himself or his repre- sentative in Reykjavik.
 In Copenhagen it is said that the spirit of independence of the Iceland CTS is enhanced at this moment from the fact that it's people wish to be freed from the Danish tariff which prevails there and under which various Danish monoPclies are flourishing, and that should this be done English commodi- ties would completely drive the Danish from the island and the English would soon obtain control of all Icelandic in. dustries.

On account of this fact. the report says:
 As the present production of the Brazilian washings is estimated at 27,0o0 carats per annum, the council are of the opinion that the utmost importance attaches to these indica- tions and furthermore think it to the interest Of the colony that the gov ernment geologist be instructed to report fully on the diamond fields. Ii would seem advisable that the gov ernment should send up an expedi- tion thoroughly to report on the present condition of the fields, par ticularly as there are many men on the ground and disputes will very likely arise as to the locations"
 The customs returns show that last year 906 carats of diamonds were ex- ported. The total number of labor CTS employed in the gold mines at present is 15,563.

She stood on the threshold.

The room was dark except for the ftful flicker of the fire, and for a radiant moon which hung in the win dow pane, flooding the apartment from floor to ceiling. It drew strange trac- cries of cold light and weird shadow upon the floor and the yellow damask furniture.
 At the sound of her footstep he turned. he looked dazed moment. She noticed that he was Geathly pale. He sprang to his feet, jerking the coat from his shoulders. It fell to the floor.

BRITISH GUIANA'S MINES.
1t rs Believed That the Country Is Rich In Both Gold and Dia-
 mOnda,

An official report on the gold. dia- mond and forest industries of British Guiana for the year ending June 30, 1901, has just been received in this country and shows that great efforts are being made by the authorities of the colony to stimulate the produc- tion of both gold and diamonds. The report declares that with the req uisite capital and labor, the fields are capable of indefinite expansion. says the New York Sun.
 While the work of inducing addi- tional investments has been going on. those men who are now engaged in the gold-mining business have not been idle. A dredger has been erect ed on the Barima river and conces- sions have been obtained from the government on the Conowarook. Purini, Cuyuni, Groete creek and Barima rivers. The men holding these concessions are waiting for re- turns from the Barima and if these are as favorable as they are expect ed to be, work on the other streams will begin at once. From June 30, 1900, to June 30. 1901. the production of gold in the colony was 1os,207 ounces.
 The report is even more sanguine of the future of the diamond fields It says:
 "One of the most encouraging events of the year has been the at tention that has been given to the i diamond deposits of the Mazarini Since July [. 1900, no less than s,35: lSiamonds have been declared at thu department of mines as well as 2.15 sapphires. With the exception of 16 diamonds coming from Potaro. all o these stones are from the Mazarin diamond fields"
 It has recently been discovere' that the area in which the diamond
 lie is much more extensive than wa
 supposed. The mode of their occur renee is similar to that of the Bra gillian diamonds in western MinAs ] Geraes and at Sac Joao de Chapodi

J thing but smiling face.
 There is something so charming about the manner of the cordial wom- an when you first meet her, and this charm grows upon one as one's &C., quaintance with her continues. So- cially she is success. and ,shen by any chance she must come in contact with the business world she finds al- most hearty greeting awaiting her there.
 There is certain reserve that is al- ways necessary, and this the dignifed woman instinctiyely preserves, but there is such thing, you know, as carrying a reserve a degree too far. It becomes an affectation oftentimes.
 It is wrong impression entertained by many of the most sensible women that a cordial manner might be mis- taken for lack of proper dignity. The truly womanly woman may risk being cordial. She need nev>c be afraid of being misunderstood. Cor diality will never be confounded with familiarity.

We have had some experience with
politics in the Middle West, but it
strikes us that Brother Julius Z. Tay-
lor. of Chicago, is leading a more
strenuous life than the situation would
ordinarily warrant. His paper, The
BrOad-Axe, small at best, fills its
meager space each and every week
with lot Of cheap denunciatiOn and
vile billingsgate directed at some OF
the editors personal enemies--tO the
disgust Of such readers as he may
have who prefer news to mudslinging.
The aforesaid enemies appear TO be
very obscure individuals, anyway, ac-
cording to Mr.. TaylOr's own estimate,
and he should give them and the pub
lie a rest. If Taylor has energy, abil-
ity and character, let him utilize those
possessions along lines calculated TO
raise himself in the esteem Of his fel-
lOw-men, and give the cheap guys"
who bark at his heels a wide berth.
That is the way to get along, live
happy life, and keep the nervous sys-
tenn in a healthy condition. The siren
uOus life doesn't pay-unless some
thing is really at stake.
