STONES THAT ARE ALIVE.
One Species That shows Positive Evd-
dence of Being Possessed
of Animation.

1t is generally known that stones
that they grow from small begin
nings frequently to enormous size.
There is one stone in particular,
however, that seems endowed with u
greater degree of life than others.
1t is called "the living stone and is
found in the Falkland islands. Those
islands are among the most cherries
spots in the world, being constantly
subjected to strong polar wind,
says Nature,
for trees to grow erect, as they do in
other countries, but nature has made
amends by furnishing n supply Of
wood in the most curious shape inn
aginable. The visitor to the Falk-
lands sees scattered here and there
singular shaped blocks OF what APP
pears to be wcathcrbeaten and moss
covered powders in various sizes.
Attempt to turn one Of these bowl
ders" over and you will meet with
u surprise, because the stone is
actually anchored by roots OF great
strength; in fact, you will find that
you are fooling with one Of the ma
tive trees.
No other country in the world has
such IL peculiar forest" growth, and
IL is said to be next TO impossible to
work the odd-shaped blocks into fuel,
because the wood is perfectly devoid
of grain and appears to be q
twisted mass Of woody tibers.

Certainly. If he Is on the premises. I"
Then. turning to his secretary, he said:
"Would you find out if Ir. Alder is in

When Henry Alder came in and the
secretary had disappeared, Miss Baxter

viable situation. for it was quite evil

perhaps it would be better, sug-
gested Hardwick, "if Miss Baxter would
| repeat the conversation as she heard it. -
II don't see the use of that" said
Mr.. Hampstead "There is only one
point at issue Did Mr.. Alder warn Mr..
Hardwick that by delay he would lose
the publication of this reportT'
Hardly that" answered the girl.
GAS remember it, he said, Isn't there
danger that some other paper may get
this?' Mr. Hardwick replied, 4 don't
think so; not for three days, at least, ;
and then Mr.. Alder said, Very good, ,
or Very well, or something like that. I"
"That quite TALES with my own re-
membrance " said Hardwlck. II admit

lost. l have been on the track of this
for two weeks and it is very calling to

through no fault Of my own"
"Still," said Mr.. Hampstead coldly,
"your version of the conversation does
not quite tally with what Miss Baxter
says. -
"Oh, have it as you wish' said Alder
truculently. ''It doesn't matter in the

Mr.. Hampstead seemed distressed by

Mr.. Hardwick smiled grimly.

said "and lack of it is one of Alder S
failings."
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hardwick, you

THE TITLES OF MAYORS.
Proper Form of Addressing NUM-
cipHl Heads In Leading Eng
lish Cities.

When, asks the London correspond
mayor entitled to the prefix fright
worshipful?" The question is not a
purely academic one, says the London
Telegraph, as I have seen the fright
worshipful the mayor of St. Pancras"
in print lately. The mayors of Lon
don boroughs, following the example
OF those in the country, are generally
content to be styled "worshipful." The
lord mayors who have arisen in the
last ten years at Manchester, Liverpool,
Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield and Bris-
toll copy the precedents of London and
York, and are Fright honorable"
Strictly, | believe, the mayors of some
ancient cities-such al Exeter, Chester
and Norwich-are by custom styled
right worshipful." Bristol was one
Of these cities till the creation Of its
lord mayoralty three years ago. These
fine distinctions recall a story Of the
rural deans of Oxford diocese in the
days Of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce.
These rural deans represented to their
diocesan that they had a grievance in
the fact that, whereas archbishops
were most reverend" bishops fright

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP.
This Account Has 1t That New York
Exceeds All other Cities In
the Habit.

There's lot of caloric air sprouted
down here about the extent of the tip
ping evil in Washington and good
deal of it may be on the level at that,
but we don't go the length of tipping
barkeeps down this way, anyhow" said
a man who had just returned from a
New York trip to Washington Post
writer. 81 saw that idiotic stunt come
off in New York yesterday afternoon.
"a few days ago saw another New
Yorker tip clerk in a small upper
Broadway telegraph office. He handed
over the telegram that he had written,
saying to the clerk: Make that rush,
will your and throwing a half dollar
and quarter on the counter.
"The telegram footed up IS cents
and when the clerk passed back the
brace of dimes for change the New
Yorker said: "That's all right, and
the telegraph clerk, wearing a pleased
expression, tucked the silver into his
waistcoat and hurried to the rear to
get the telegram on the wire. That
looked like a kind Of greasy transac-
ton to me, but all of that kind of stuff
goes in New York. BY the time I get
back to New York on my next trip I
expect to be sandbagged into tipping
a cop tuppence ha'penny for directing
me to street, or handing a car con-
ductor an extra nickel for letting me
take a surreptitious puff at cigar on
a back platform, and wouldn't be sur
prised If the time would come along
when a fellow will have to tip the pay
ing teller of New York bank for CASH
ing a check for him."

It is a common remark with hundreds
of men that they wonder "what women
find to do all day" Sometimes curiosity
gets the better of man and he asks his
wife what she has done all day. "Oh,
a hundred and one little things she
lays. Then he thinks Of some momen
tous scheme over which he had been
working all day and makes mental
comparison, in which his wife's work
takes second place. He overlooks the
fact, however that woman's life in
the home is made up of "little things, ;"
and that these same little things are
not only necessary but that they are
absolutely vital to the even adjustment
of the domesti" machinery Of his home.
They are "ittle' only in woman
