An interesting story of a valua ole
topaz now in the possession of Signor
Nicola Carelli comes from Naples, says
the Rome correspondent of the London
Leader. The topaz which Signor Car
elli brought back from BAIL some
years ago is so large that it is said to
weigh over two pounds. A Neapolitan
artist, seeing the stone, begged to be al
lowed to engrave the figure of Christ
on 1t in cameo. The work is now fin
ished and Signor Carelli has been look
ing for a purchaser The value of the
jewel is. however, so great that even
the Pope himself, to whom it was Of
fered, could not afford to buy 1t. Fin
ally, says the Italie, a committee has
been formed in Naples with the pur-
pose of buying the jewel from it's pres.
ent owner by public subscription and
offering it to Leo XIII. as a jubilee
present. It is to be hoped, therefore,
that this wonderful treasure will be
seen Dy visitors to the Vatican Mu-
scum. Signor Carelli declares that
there is no other such stone in the
world.

Still Finds Life Worth Living,

Two years ago a wealthy New
Yorker was injured while swimming
and it was thought that he would never
get over the effects of the accident.
But by modern miracle of surgery
he recovered after lying for months
between life and death.
He is still confined to his bed and
will never again be able to stand on
his feet The greatest luxury that he
has enjoyed since his accident came
the other day when he was allowed to
smoke cigar.
When it became certain that he
would live the question of the place of
residence was the most important AS
his wealth made it unnecessary to con-
slider any question but the suitability
of a place for person compelled to
stay in the house always, it was not
so difficult to find Q home for him as
it might have been. The choice finally
fell on an apartment house ON Brook.
lyn Heights.
The windows of this house command
a wonderful view of the harbor and the
East River. Night and day there is
always moving panorama of beauty
before the eyes Of the injured man
who lies on his couch by the window.
And he is philosophical enough to ad-
nit that life even under such condi-
tions is well worth living.-New York
Sun.

VILLAGE LIFE,
Change Wrought by Telephones, Trolley
Cars and Mail Delivery.

Telephones, rural mail routes, inter-
urban and trolley lines have had the
effect, it is said, of making small vii
lagos more quiet than formerly A lit
tie crossroads settlement, with q gen.
eral store, Il postotfice a blacksmith
shop and Doctors office as its chief
business establishments, is not at any
time very lively centre, but the COM
ing and going of the persons with af-
fairs to transact at these places create
whatever stir there is, and at times
bring about the appearance of consd-
cradle activity. But now that the
farm telephone has come into use it's
owner does not "hitch up" and go to
the village as formerly to do his er-
rands. He telephones to the store
keeper his order for goods and asks
him to send them out by trolley or by
the first man travelling that way; he
consults the doctor over the telephone,
and talks with his friends in the vii
lage in the same way.
The mail is brought to his gate, and
thus relieves him of the necessity of a
daily trip. His relations with the
blacksmith remain unchanged, for no
way has yet been devised whereby that
useful parsonage can shoe a horse or
mend wagon without having horse
and vehicle present. But these needs
are not of daily occurrence. and so it
happens that the little street or open
square which was wont to seem almost
crowded with horses and vehicles at
certain hours every day or on certain
days in the week now often wears a
deserted look, and the residents are
conscious of Il sense of loneliness. They
say too, that when once a man gets
on trolley car with intent to make a
purchase he passes by the little country
store and goes to a larger town, and
that this is particularly true of his
wife or daughter on similar errand.
All this is a natural but rather curious
development following the extended
use of modern conveniences. and what
remedy the village has is not plain.
Its only hope is apparently to establish
attractions of social or educational
nature that will offset the loss in other
directions and will draw its rural
neighbors there for amusement and en-
tertainment.-India Journal.

GAM BLERS,

Flung on the whirling cosmic wheel,
This great green sphere spins out the
game
Through alternating night and fame,
Reckless of what the players feel.
Eager, each change of luck they mark,
With curse or prayer or grin or smile,
And win or lose little while,
And then go back into the dark.
And some lose all, dead broke and blank;
Most hedge, some plunge to make or
break
And some win wild on every stake,
But none will ever break the bank.
By their drawn brows and quivering lips,
As their stacks slowly grow or shrink,
The loolter-on might almost think
They played for money, not for chips.
And one vague dread without name,
Shadows on everybody here
By what back stairs can we get clear,
Should the powers come to raid the game?

Trees and Lig htning.

An ancient Swiss proverb advises
people during thunder storms to avoid
the oak tree to fly from the fir and to
seek the beech tree, which is safe. A
little time ago a special inquiry was
made in the canton of Lucerne to find
if there were any truth in the proverb.
Statistics showed that out of eighty
trees struck by lightning in a forest
district fifty-siX were oaks, twenty
four frs and larches, but, though there
were seventeen beeches, not a single
one suffered.-Chicago News.

Three miles north from the ZOcalo,
and just beyond the city limits, is the
suburban town of Guadalupe. The
Church of Guadalupe has perhaps as
great history, real, mythical, and su-

known world. 1t is of about the aver
age size but it has some grand, curious
and ancient furnishings. There are II
tons of silver on the altar and railings,
the latter being composed entirely of
solid silver, besides there are tons of
other grand and costly curiosities; and
all this in church in which the vast
majority of its members worship in the
cheapest of garments and dirty rags,
with bare feet or sandals, being too
poor to buy shoes.
About three rods east of this is lit

THE LAW.

'Tis truth as old as the soul of things
Whatever ye SOW ye reap.
'TiS the cOsmic law that forever springs
From the unimagined deep,
'Tis shown in the manifold borrowings
OF the race; in remarse with its secrets stings
That he who grief to his brother brings
In his turn some day shall weep.
To the man who hears his victims cries
And hardens his heart at the sound
At last Nemesis dread shall rise
From out the void profound.
Who sows in selfishDess, greed and hate
Shall gain his deserts in the years that wait.
For the slow and remorseless wheel of Fate
Forever turns round and round,
II ye give out of mercy and love and light.
The same shall return to you;
For the standards of right are infinite
And the scales of the gods are true.
By its good or evil each life is weighed;
In motives and deeds is its record made:
In the coin ye pay ye shall be repaid,
When your wages at last fall due.

of you and dry your Clothes" she said,
"and have some beer There is one
poor sailor in here now." And who
should the sailor prove to be but our
captain. When the mate saw him he
said: "My, but you're alive! Here's
your kid, and your wife is crushed by
the boom and drowned in the sea-"
When the captain heard that he said,
"1ou get out of here" but the lady
said, "NO, let him stay for the child's
sake" And she took the little child in
her arms.
In the morning we went to Fal-
mouth, the nearest port of any conse-
quence, but could claim nothing. She
was an English barque lost on an Eng
lish shore, and under those circum-
stances the crew gets nothing, provided
the vessel is total loss. The same ap-
plies to American ships lost en- the
American shore; but if you lose an
English vessel on the American coast,
or an American vessel on the English
coast, you can go to your consul and
he will give you new outfit, find you
clearinghouse and another ship; but
in both cases you lose all pay due you.
Well, 1 was stranded on the shores of
merry England with nothing to make
merry with. However, 1 knew the
barque belonged to London and also
knew the insurance companies don't
like to pay out money if they can help
it, and thought I could help it and
get paid for my clothes; so to London
went with the mate and one more
sailor. Then we hunted up the insur-
ance company and explained matters
to them. It was just what they were
looking fora chance to come down on
those ship wreckers-so they put the
other sailor and me in clearinghouse;
the mate was better cared for, as he
was the star witness. Every day we
would 60 to the Office and get five
shillings-on Saturday ten, five for Sun
day-and the company beat the own
ers, and we got five pound note each
to fit us out.
We couldn't get ship in London
for every captain in the city had us
spotted and they we're our enemies, but
every sailor in LOndOn-or in all the
world for that matter-was our friend,
and we finally got ship in Liverpool.
