Saved BY The Truth.

Joseph Jefferson once had IN his

the man drank. Wine from the Gel

the supply in the decanters would
disappear gradually, but there never
was any ocular proof that the servant
was responsible.
And" said Jefferson, in telling
the story to a friend, there was.

So when William approached I gazsd
at him with all the severity l could

William, you are drunk.
He returned my look with perfect
imperturbability. Mr.. Jefferson, be

This one is the thief; this one

"Tbis one is the thief; this one

The man trembled violently, throw

head and repeated his declaration,
whereat the man fell on his face, grow

his guilt.
Men were sent to the hillside

and presently tie silver and the
leather belt were brought and put in
the missionary's hands. The sheik

Astonished, the missionary urged
the sheik to tell him how the thing

My people must often be governed

his tail with the oil Of pungent herb.

This left the hand concealed from

stitious, he feared that the mule would
announce the blackness Of his heart.
The guiltIess ones took the tail in
their hands, but the thief, finding
himself alone with the mule, decided
to take his chances and let the tail
alone.
When a man placed his hands up
on my face I knew at once by the
odor of the herb that he had done as
I bade him. On the thiets hands
there was no odor Of the herb and his
wickedness was manifest to me.

Home of the Mole.

The home of the mole, if nothing
else, would prove that it is not the
dull creature most people imagine it
to be. Viewing it from the outside,
this home would appear to be only
hillock Of firm and well-trodden earth,
but if it were possible for you to pay
the mole a visit you would be greatly
surprised at what you would find IN
der the mound of earth-a snug, leaf
lined sleeping chamber in the very
heart Of the hlllock, two galleries, one
near the top, another near the bottom
connected with each other and with
the main highroad and the runs
which radiste from it in every direc-
tiou by passages Of various lengths.
1t would all be very bewilderiug to
YOU. but to the little builder It is all
plain-evsry passage, where 1t begins
and where it leads. And if by chance

reach the highrcsd at once The mole
is said to be very thirsty animal
and If It's home be not near stream

or wells along its run" to catch the

ger ones would be useless under the

them it car bring them forth very
quickly from the mass Of fur which
protects them. The quick ear, the
acute sense OF smell and the delicate
sense Of touch seem to serve the anil
nal in its dark journeys through the
earth instead OF sight, and II is 10y
means Of these senses that 1t secures
its food and escapes It's foes.
The most extraordinary thing about
a mole is the paw or hand with which
it digs The two forepaws are very
large and are furnished with strong
ttattened nails The hands are turned
outward to enable the animal 70 throw
the earth out OF its way Another
curious part of the mole is Its fur,
and no matter how damp and shiny
the mold through which the animal
burrows the fur remains perfectly
clean and yelvety. That Is because
it has no grain, but lies smooth in
every direction. The short hairs grow
perpendicular from the skin and are
capable of turning with every dIrec-
tion of the animal.
