! recall TO mind a story of an officer
IN the Japanese emperor's army which
was besieging a fortress. Its number
was small and relieving army was
coming up. 1t was of immense mo
ment that they should know how long
the fortress could hold out. If it must
-apitulate for want of supplies within
week they could stay and win the
campaign for the emperor. a young
japanese nobleman volunteered TO go
into the fortress and ascertain how
long it could hold out. He disguised
himself and in passing learned that it
had food and water for only two days
more.
As he was going out with this pre-
cious information he was detected, and
the enemy said to him, We are going
to cruelty you, but we will let you off
on one conditiOn-that you 20 TO the
wall and tell your people that we have
supplies for a week"
lie said, VERY WELL" and went to
the wall. His wife and children in the
beslegers camp saw him, his friends
were there also and he held up both
his hands and said TO them: There
are supplies for but two days. Con
tinue the siege and you will take the
place"
He died by a hundred spear points,
but he had done his duty to his gen.
eral-Sir Edward Arnold.

Why We shake Hnnds.

To shake hands with person is
rightly regarded as a token Of amity.
but very few know how this custom
arose.
According TO a French ethnologist,
whenever two men met in former times
they were accustomed to hold up their
right hands in front of them as sign
that they had no intention Of attack
ing each other. This mark Of conf
dence however, did not prove sufficient
in all cases. for a man may hold up his
right hand and yet, If he keeps it
closed. may have n weapon concealed
in it, and therefore it became the Gus
tom for the two right hands to grasp
each other, as only thus could full as
surance he given that no weapon was
concealed in either Of them. Formerly,
therefore, this gesture. now the token
Of loyalty and friendship, was one OF
reciprocal distrust.-New York Herald.

Ont of One Clay.

Many years ago before the days OF
railroads nObleman and his wife,
with their infant, were travelling
across Salisbury plain. As the story Is
told in Mr.. A. =. Russell's Character
istics." they were overtaken by Sc
we're storm and took refuge in lone
shepherds hut.
The child had taken cold before they
could find shelter and the nurse began
at once to undress IT by the warm
cottage fire. As she pulled off one
rich silken garment after another the
shepherd and his wife looked on in
awed silence.
At last the process of undressing was
completed and the little naked baby
was being warmed by the fire. There
It sat, with all its splendid outer husks
peeled off, its little body beginning to
glow in the hut by the fire. The shep-
herd drew a long breath and exclaimed,
"Why. it's just like one Of ours.'

An Idcl wI.h diamond Eye.

1t is a curious fact and one scarcely
known outside OF Russia. and there
hardly ever mentioned. that the IA
nous Orloff diamond was once the
right eye Of the great idol Serrngham
in the temple Of Brahma. This pre-
cious gem was stolen at about the be
ginning Of the eighteenth century by a
French soldier who had made n pre-
tense Of being converted to the HindOo
religion in order to gain the confidence
Of the priests and admission to the
temple. The Frenchman first sold the
diamond for f2,OO0. On the next turn
Il was bought by banker Of Constan-
tinople for E12,000. The banker kept 1t
until 1T74 and then sold il TO the Rus
sian empress for 100000 and life pen
sion. The gem has been in the Russian
royal family ever since. As it is now
set in the imperial scepter Of Russia it
presents a flattened. rose cut surface
and weighs exactly 104ls carats.

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.

A Lost Tin Mine and n Lead Mines
BottomIeSs Pit.
Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed. but have been brought
TO disastrous failure at the last mo-
ment. are frequent enough in the his
tory Of industry.
London Answers tells the story of a
tin mine in England which might have
yielded a fortune but for a storm.
With the finding of a new vein of ore
running ont toward the sea new level
was driven out below the water; then
It was found that the lode bent up
ward too near the sea bottom for min
ing TO be safely carried on. Undiscour-
aged. the owner borrowed money, built
sea wall to cut off the water erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enor'
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped a gale came up, a ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pieces al
once. and the sea drove the heavy
stones I'm upon the thin roof Of the
mine. In moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded, and the owner was
n ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told Of the
Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshire
Believing that Il rich vein Of ore exist
ed in nearby hill, the owner risket
his entire capital to bore tunnel 3,C0C
feet long into the heart of the noun
tain. Suddenly the miners brok'
through a wall of rock into vast hid
den cavern, through which flowed
stream of water.
They began to dump rock into thu
stream. and after 10000 tons a bridge
began to rise out of the darkness, an(
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled
and at last, after 10000 tons in al
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave it up.
That narrow rift is known TO thii
dav as tho Bottomless Pit.

ascended a cloud that served within

account of the disaster through which
