CATS EYES FOR CLOCKS.

In China, travellers say, in districts
where clocks and watches are unknown
if you ask Chinaman the time of day
he will, if we'll disposed, at once pro.
ceed to ambuscade and capture the
household cat, and after pushing up
the lids and looking for a moment into
its eyes he will tell the time with
astonishing accuracy. The explana-
tion is simple physiological one. The
pupils of the cats eyes constantly con-
tract until midday, when they become
like fine line, as thin as hair, drawn
perpend;cularly across the eye; after
twelve they begin again to dilate. The
Chinese have by no means monopoly
Of the cat as a perambulating time
piece. The negroes of Jamaica are
very we'll acquainted with the method
Of telling the time by looking at the
effect of the sun on pussy's eyes, and
those who twenty years ago were quite
illiterate and could not tell the time by
a watch used 20 resort to this method
for discovering the time of day.

THE ROSE.

Where is the grand, mysterious loom
That weaves for flowers their fragrant bloom?
Who brews their tints and gorgeous dyes
Richer than those that food the skies:
What power the mystic shuttle throws
That weaves the fair or blushing rose?
For all by angel hands are riveD,
The gates of pearl that lead to Heaven.
In blissful hours of Eden's morn,
Twas towering tree without thorn.
When exiled from the guarded gate
1t blushed and bloomed, resigned to fate;
In token of those tranquil hours,
Gladdened by gentle dews and showers,
The pike and spear in troop were given
To guard the bloom that came from Heaven.
No gem that shines on monarch's throne,
In crown Of gold, in queenly zone;
Or, king himself, his royal train,
With fabled wealth from mine and main,
Respendent in voluptuous art,
In masters skill and glow of heart,
Fer can compare with flower that's given
Sweet gift to earth from courts Of Heaven.
The world of beauty, wealth and power,
The poor that live from hour to hour;
The pen that speaks, the voice that sings,
The harp. the lutte the minstrel brings,
Where'er the sweetest zephyr blows
A wealth of tribute to the rose;
And fragrance unto each is given
To strew his pathway up to Heaven.
Go strew the rose whereer you tread,
For living wreaths, crowns for the dead;
The rose may fade, tits not of earth
To bloom in realms Of pristine birth.
Did not an ancient seer foretell
That One would come te earth to dwell,
The Rose of Sharon to man given
To lift q wayward world to Heaven.

The incorrigible suddenly choked

Sure enough the head of the house

"He must have caught an early

the door.

pausing in the doorway. II scarcely
hoped to find you two together. Are
you really acquainted"

and his twinkling eyes rested on
Hester.
"Hester, DEAR" said her father, "let
me present our very good friend, Mr..
Barclay Hill. Mr.. Hill, Miss Palmer" "
Hester felt the blood leap into her
cheeks. Her lips trembled. She did
not dare to look up. She wanted to
drop through the floor. Fortunately
her father failed to notice her agitation.
"And now where is the impecunious
guest?' he cried as he looked around.
"Surely he Gamer"
"He's in the study, father"
How strangely her voice sounded.
"Ill see him in there"
As the door closed before her father
the young man quickly stepped to
ward Hester.
Not word" he softly said. "Only
remember that you owe me an expla-

A Well ll-Meant Effort.

A ray of sunshine touched the rings
on Hester Palmer's right hand as she
raised her coffee cup.
"And what do you wish me to do,
father?'
The gray haired man looked across
the table.
'Look out for my two VISITORS" he
said. explain to them that a tele-
gram calls me away from home, and
that l must spend an hour in the city

"Fifteen minutes to reach the station" "
He drew away from the table. "Hold
them both here until l get back"
"Just mention their names again,

"John Hammond and Barclay Hill.
You've heard me speak of John. He's
a son of Jared Hammond, and no earth

ing practical about him. Always hard
up. OF course he's coming for loan.
I've no idea how much he owes me.
Poor visionary vagabond."
"But why do you let him impose

Cease of soft heart, l guess, dear.

"And who is the other man?'

me they trusted everything to him.
He's coming here to settle little deal
that we have planned together. If it
goes through, my dear, it means six
months abroad for the pair of u.s..
There, I'll have to hustle for the train"
And he hurried into the hall and a
moment later was gone.
Hester Palmer tucked back a few
struggling locks and smoothcd down
the folds of her pretty gown.
"It's a shame" she murmured, "that
papa allows himself to be so dreadfully
imposed upon. Son of an old friend,
indeed! AS if that relieved the man
from all the ordinary moral obliga-
tions. I'll see what l can do to con-
vince him to the contrary
And then Hester's attention was ar
rested by the click of the iron gate at
the foot of the lawn.
A man was coming up the gravel
walk. He was tall man, attired in
black, man with gray hair and gray
beard. He was pale and stopped a
little, and his glasses covered pair of
bright gray eyes.
He took off his soft hat and gravely
bowed to Hester.
"Is Mr.. Richard Palmer at home?'
Hester smiled down at him from the
porch. What a strong old face it was
and what fine gray eyes. And the

"You will find it cool here in the

'Thank you, young lady," said the
elderly man, as he dropped into the
easiest chair. "And may l ask you
for biscuit and perhaps cup of tea?
The walk has been little fat;guing."
"Certainly,' cried Hester. ~ will

She gave the order and was turning
back toward the study when she was
stopped by a merry whistle. Some
body was coming up the walk. She
went to the door. A young man was
approaching and whistling as he ap-
preached. He was dressed in a gray
summer suit, and a straw hat dangled
from one of his hands. He stopped
short when he caught sight Of Hester.
His whistle stopped, too.

sudden smile. I'm afraid | was a

Hester admitted to herself that his
face wasn't wholly weak. Ifanything
it was more inclined to be crafty.
There was twinkle about his eyes

"You have called to see my fathel";

Hester pictured him waiting outside

right had he to appear so careless and
Indifferent? She pointed to a chair
and he seated himself. She took a

She must not neglect the little sermon

from behind a tree and vanishing as
soon as the strangers approached.

months, master of the elephants.
Ia the doorway of the elephant house
the parental grasp relaxed and with a
dive Evan got between the mighty
wrinlled pillars that supported Babe.
That playful young creature had her
vast ears thrust forward like immense
banners. Her piggy eyes were all
a-twinlile. She gurgled deep down in
her caverns, like a mountain full of
sizzling hot water.
Gently, ever so gently her big trunk
with it's pink orifice reached out and
seized the little chap. Slowly she
rocked him to and fro while he sat,
holding to the trunk as calmly as other
children would hold to the ropes of a
swing. But Basil wanted a bit of it,
too She reached and pranced and
trumpeted until Babe swung Evan over
to her. toss, and catch and Basil
had the boy. Back and forth they
swung him like ball, but with care
and gentleness that seemed impossi-
ble in creatures so huge.
A muttered word from Healey, and
Basil lifted the little golden-haired
trainer up, up, until she held him ten
feet above the ground. Then the trunk
curved backwards and set him as softly
as if he were bisque on her big back,
He sat there a few moments, slapping
the leathery skin down the sloping
back to the tail, swung from it as if
1t were a rope, and let himself drop tc
the ground, while Basil and Babe
trumpeted and wagged their ears
watching for him to appear between
their legs again.
