Prize Sentences.

The winner of a prize of a guinea
offered by the London academy to the
person who should select the three
most pregnant and felicitous sentences
from any authors, chose the following
three quotations. The first was from
Ruskin:
Fancy plays like squirrel in it's
circular prison and is happy; but mag
nation is pilgrim on the earth-and
her home is, in heaven, The second
sentence was taken from the works Of
Mazzini: "Discouragement is but dis
enchanted egotism." The third was
the following from Robert Louis Ste
venson: '"The true wisdom is to be al
ways seasonable, and to change with
a good grace in changing circum-
stances. To love playthings we'll as
child, to lead an adventurous and hon
orable youth and to settle when tine
time arrives into a green and smiling
age is to be O. good artist in life and
deserve well of yourself and your
neighbor."

Nature ana Plants.

DR.. Andrew Wilson writes: eff we
assumed that flowers were merely
evolved to crafty human senses we
should be entertaining woefully linn
tied view of nature. The botanist will
tell you that everything about a flower
is meant to favor one end. That end
is the production Of seeds and the prop
agation Of the species. The colors of
fowers-nay, even the little splashes Of
hue or tint seen on a petal-are in
tended to attract insects that they may
carry off the fertilizing dust, or pollen,
to other flowers of the same or near
species and thus insure a sturdier race
as the result of cross fertilization. It
is to this end also that your flowers are
many Of them sweet scented. The per-
fume is another kind Of invitation to
the insect world. The honey they Sc
crete forms a third attraction-the
most practical Of all, perhaps. Then
the arrangement of the flowers on the
stalk, the times of opening and shut
ting Of the flowers and the position Of
che stamens and pistils are all SO many
features whereby nature is giving each
plant help on the way

Her Old Sweetheart.

A young man and a, young woman
lean over the front gate. They are
lovers. It is moonlight. He is loath to
leave, as the parting is the last He is
about to go away. She is reluctant to
let him depart. They swing on the gate.
'Ill never forget you," he says, land if
death should claim me my last thought
will be Of you" 9~
''I'll be true to you," she sobs. ''I'll
never see anybody else or love them as
long as / live"
They part. Six years later he returns.
His sweetheart of former years has
married. They meet at a party. She
has changed greatly. Between the
dances the recognition takes place.
''Let me see," she muses., with her
fan beating a tattoo on her pretty hand,
"was it you or your brother who was
my old sweetheart"

Fruit Seeds and Appendicitis.

Many very intelligent people are de-
tered from swallowing the seed of ber-
ries, grapes and other fruits lest the
Judgment OF these small bits of indiges-
tibleness may induce that dreaded acct
dent appendicitis. This fear is utterly
baseless, since the healthy appendix is
protected by a valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest seeds
from entering it. 1t is only after in
fammation has already destroyed it's
normal protection that any foreign sub
stance can gain access to it. To feel
compelled to eschew all seedy berries
and fruits is to seriously curtail ones
dietary, and it is entirely unnecessary.
In fact, the free and constant use Of
ripe berries and fruits Of all kinds is
one of the best preventives of this dan
gerous disease. Fruit eating prevents
or helps to overcome constipation, and
constipation is the most prolific cause
of appendicitis. The physician should
thoroughly disabuse his patients of this
mistaken notion. All the smooth seeds
are harmless.-Hygienic Gazette.

BABIES i'm SIAM.
They All Receive the Same Name,
Dang" at Birth.

AL babies in Siam receive the same
name at birth, says Ernest Young, the
author of ''The Kingdom of the Yellow
Robe" This name is Dang, which
means red, and it is the only designa-
ton vouchsafed the newcomer for some
months. For several years they wear
no clothing, though perhaps string of
beads or bracelets or ankletS as Orna-
ment. At a child's birth a cord that
has been blessed by the priests is tied
around the outside of the house, and
three balls of rice are thrown in ''lucky
directions" by three old women, who
are always present at such time and
whose business it is to solicit for the
little one the patronage and protection
Of sundry guardian angels. The cord
and the scattering about the premises
Of a certain kind of native fruit are
supposed to be efficacious in preventing
the entrance of evil spirits. AS a mat
ter of fact, what with the heat Of the
climate and the cleansing fires" kim
died in portable earthenware stoves
and the presence Of many people in the
small, low ceilinged rooms, the atmos-
phere is SO stifiingly hot and uncom-
Portable that it is doubtful whether
even evil wanderers from below would
care to stop there long.

B1ackbird DAYS.

Jan. 80 and 81 and Feb. are famous
at Constantinople, Brescia and along
the Danube and the Rhine as the
"blackbird days" A curious legend
says that originally all species of grac-
kles (blackbirds) were white and that
they became black because during one
year in the middle ages the three days
mentioned above were so cold that all
the birds in Europe took refuge in the
chimneys. AS Brescia the three days
are celebrated with a feast called 81
giorni della merla," or ''the feast of the
transformation Of the bird"

Where a hired man is given his
monthly wage, his board and washing,
how big a wash is he entitled to?
This question is raised by farmers
wife who says she has to wash for
their hired man suit of white under

negligee shirt for Sunday, white and
colored handkerchiefs, two pair of
socks, white night shirt and work

George Bernard Shaw as dramatic crit

Treasure TrOve Law In England.
In England treasure trove belongs to
the crown. According to the law, if
any one finds hidden treasure and con-
ceals it for his own use he is liable to
fine and Imprisonment. 1t used to be a
hanging matter. However, it may be
some encouragement to English treas
ure seekers, if any such there be in
these enlightened days, to know that
the laws of treasure trove only apply
to such as is discovered by accident.
Treasure discovered by systematic
search would not come within this de-
scription; neither would finds discover
ed by astrological or cabalistic sciences
or by the potent influence of the divin-
ing rod.-All the Year Round.

You've heard of sardines in oil-but
they are dead ones. The fish hero of
this story is a dace who spent some
Of his life in crude petroleum.

several inches of mud, oil and water
have lain for several years, and which
each summer must have been hot for
the fish.
