A Crying Stone.

In the yard of Jacob Abbott's
country home, a favorite play
ground for his grandchildren and
their friends, stood a large square
stone bearing this notice: "If any
child gets cross and sulky and
cries, he can 60 and sit on the cry
ing stone just as long as he wants
to and cry it out" So whenever a
boy or girl did sulk, DR.. Lyman
Abbott records, all the rest of the
children would clamor: "To the cry
ing stone! To the crying stone"
And seldom did a child take advan-
tage of that place provided. There
are grown people who voluntarily
put themselves in such doleful prom
inence that one longs to try the
effect of a public crying stone on
them. Stationed in a conspicuous
place and ordered to "cry it out"
they might be shamed into reform
ing their dispositions.-Youth's

A CHAINED CHURCH.
Novel Place of Worship In Iceland,
Where the Winds Are Wild.

Inherent in humanity is the in

not necessarily follow religion. \
native Australian will steal sheep,
assault his ncighbors and wage un-
just war upon other tribes and re-
turn TO his wrctched hut to engage
in somu act of devotion expressive
Of gratitude 20 a higher power" for

propitiate his favoritc idol, says the
Ilousckccpcr.
1t is remarkable how much one
can tell of a creed or religion by
the appearance, exterior and into
rior, of its places of worship. The
Roman Catholic church in every
part of the world is designated by
the sign of the cross. The mission
aries of this faith have always been
most energetic in their work at the
outpoats of civilization, and, go
where you will, you find their little
missions ilourshing. The most in
teresting, though probably the
smallest, Of their outposts is on the
northern shores of Iceland. Most
of the people of Iceland belong to
the Lutheran church, and for many
years it was the only denomination
represented on the island.
During the visit OF Il wealthy lee
lander and his wife to the continent
Of Europe they became converted to
the Catholic faith, and upon their
return home erected the present
/ church on the northern shore. 1t
is situated on a spot where the
winds have full sweep from the
northern seas, and for fear the lit
tie church might be borne away by
some of the mighty blasts of winter
it is made fast to posts driven deep
in the earth by great chain, one
of the heaviest ever constructed.
On cold night in January it is a
weird experience to sit in this
church and try to listen to sermon
or song while outside old Boreas is
bowling and his blasts cause the
tiny shrine to sway like IA ship at
sea. But it is firmly anchored, and
the danger is more imaginary than
real.

Decorations In Parliament.

Time was when it was usual for
peers and commoners alike to wear
any orders they possessed during
debates in the houses Of which they
were members. At the present day
it would be a dreadful breach Of ETH
quette for any member of parlia-
ment, elected or hereditary, to enter
the chamber with a ribbon or star
on his breast. There is, however, a
single exception to this rule. The
bishop of Winchester, as prelate of
the Order of the Garter, always
wears the badge Of the premier
knigfthood when he appears in the
house of lords.

The Ancient EaYptlan Cats.

The ancient Egyptian cat was the
progeny of a species that is wild in
that country today, being known
as the FeIis maniculata. This latter
may be regarded as the ancestor OF
nearly all existing pussies of do
mcsticatcd varieties. Its descend
ants were brought from Egypt to
Greece and Rome, whence they
spread over Europe. When the Ro-
mans invaded Britain, they found
plenty of wild cats in the woods,
but they owned no tame ones. The
Fclis .naniculata is of a yellowish
color, darker on the back and whit
iSh on the belly, with obscure stripes
on the body and a tail ringed to-
ward the end. Doubtless some do
mesticated cats are derived from
different origins, as is presumably
the case with the Angora or Per-
sian variety, which is thought to be
descended from an Asiatic wild cat.
