Falcon Lore.

No one can pretend to any acquaint-
ance with English literature or even
with the English language without be-
ing aware how deep an impress has
been left upon them by the art and
practice of falconry. Such words as
"haggard," "eyrie." news" "cadger,'
to lure" to ''stoop," to reclaim" all
belonged originally to the falconer's
jargon and We're thence adopted into
common parlance.
A whole host of well worn quota
tons, including the long misunderstood
passage in Hamlet about the 'hand
saw" (heron shaw, can only be prop
erly explained by reference to the fall
coner's craft, and several of the most
picturesque metaphors used by our
best poets derive their virtue from the

To read the Bible through in year

All the letters of the alphabet are

The Bible was not divided into chap
tiers, as it is now, until the thirteenth
century. Early Hebrew Bibles were
marked into sections and verses by
means of accents, which served as
marks to be observed in the eastern
manner of reading. The work of di-
viding the Bible into chapters has been
attributed by some to Stephen Lang
ton. The division into verses was made
by a printer of the name of Robert
Stephens in 1913 and was adopted
throughout all editions.

Heading off
A Country Girl
[Original.l

lOrlS1naI-l
Matilda Thorne, a country girl, re-
ceived an invitation for a visit to her
fashionable aunt, Mrs. Treaddle, who
lived on Central Park East, New York.
The reason for the invitation was that
Matilda was down on list of legatees
for small amounts in the will of Scher-
merhorn Wrinkle, Mrs. Treaddle's
brother, bachelor, aged forty,
and he insisted on seeing each and ev-
cry beneficiary. When Matilda ar
rived, Mrs. Treaddle, struck with her
beauty and freshness, was a once ter
rified lest her brother might fall in love
with and marry her. Since the bulk
of his fortune was to descend to Mrs.
Treaddle that lady determined to head
off any such possible result.
Matilda" said the lady, fit is my
duty to warn you against the1 men Of
New York. Now, there's nay own
brother, Schem. He has no conscience
whatever in the matter of a conquest.
He has broken many 4 girls heart and
would not scruple to send you back to
your home Tilted and disgracedI'
"Oh, aunty, how awfulr'
'Shun him as you would an,adder."
''Only by marriage. Even if he We're
don't think that would protect you"
This was not the only safeguard
Mrs. Treaddle threw out againstta pos
sible loss of her brothers fortune She
gave Reginald KnickerbOcker, young
profigate with whom she had been
carrying on an intimacy, instructions
to win Matilda, thus preventing Scher
merhorn from doing so. Having thus
put up the bars, Mrs. Treaddle felt that
she had her brother corralled.
''Oh, aunty," said Matilda a few days
later, what do you think? Mr.. Knicl1-
erbocker- But L suppose 1 shouldn't
tell
TELL me everything, my dear"
Last night when we were alone he
put his arm around me-
Indeed? What else did. he doP 3
''Oh, don't like to tellr'
You'd better, my dear"
''He kissed me-"
"WeIl, my child. I congratulate you.

isn't it nice that he's not like Uncle

1.-TWO FOOLS AFLoAT.'
Two Brownsville Young Men Brave
the Briny Waters to Make
aSocial Call.

Last night just when the clouds
doomed blacklist and the lightning
flashed brightest, and the pillows o
the bay at Point Isabel ragec
highest and the shadows of night
the darkest a frail craft with one
wing shot out from the wharf and
headed toward the light house neal
Brazos Santiago harbor, two miles
away.
The occupants were MIR. Walter
Amthor, chief draughtsman for the
st. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
Ry. Co., and the humble chronicler
hereof-the knight of the scissors
and paste pot of THE DAILY HER
ALD-and two boatmen. The only
boat available was a little catboat,
but having determined upon visit
ing the light house out in the bay,
where Mrs. Stowe and her daughters
are stopping with Mr.. Geo. Stowe,
the keeper, for the summer, we were
not to be detained by wind or wave
from carrying out our purpose.
The night was very dark, the
wind strong, the waves high and
the clouds threatened rain. but I'M
dismayed we urged our brave boat
over the pillows, and after lacking
about for over an hour we reached
the foot of the light house, where
we were met by Mr.. Stowe and es-
corted upstairs.
We were met at the landing and
royalty welcomed by Mrs. Stowe
and her attractive daughters. We
made circuit of the building-of
the light house built on stilts-and
then were seated on the southeast
side where the pure salt breeze
famed our cheeks and mussed our
hair. The next hour and a half
passed ere we knew it, for the con-
versation was bright and breezy and
as invigorating and uplifting in
spirit as the soft, exhflarating air
that played about us.
Under Mr.. Stoves guidance, and
accompanied by the young ladies,
we assembled to the top of the light
house and inspected the upper
fixtures. That Lights a wonderful
apparatus, especially the lens sur
rounding it. But the hours were
speeding by and we had to hasten
away, so we rapidly descended to
the parlor, where we registered our
names and then babe the genial
host and his charming mother and
sisters goodnight.
The return trip was made in less
than half an hour, for the wind
was i'm our favor. Going out we
frequently felt like two fools
ahoat" sure enough, for the boat
would pitch and spring over the
waves, while the water would break
and splash all over the boat. But
the trip was successful and the
visit one of the most enjoyable we
ever made. Some time we hope to
accept the generous hospitality OF
our sea-bounded friends again when
the moon light makes glorious the
happy scene.
