The Value of a vacation.

A vacation pays as much from the
standpoint of character as from any
other point of view. Just as every
man Is n rascal when he Is SICK" so the
best intentioned man in the world may
be q brute when he Is worn out phys
ically and working and planning or
trying to do so with tagged, weary
brain. The brutal qualities in mans
nature come TO the surface when he
has drained his vitality to the dregs.
He loses his self control and his pas
sions get the better of him. He does
things which in his soul he condemns
and says things for which he after
ward hates himself. and all because he
lacks physical stamina. The long strain
of the year has made him so irritable
and eXacting that the merest trifie up
sets him. lie goes NIL to pieces over
little things which he would not even
notice II he were In good bodily condi-
ton.- Success.

COURTING IN IRELAND.
Lovers md LOvemaling In the Land
of the Shamrock.


The Irish way of counting in the old
days and in quiet country places even
to the present day was and is very diff
ferent from that style of thing which
makes the subject of many finely paint
ed romances. There were no stolen in
terviews, no twilight walks, no thought
of kisses or even hand clasps-in short,
no lovemaking whatever. But II they
were at reaplng or haymaking Peter
took his place next to Rosie, helped to
bind her sheaves when his own were
done and at monday took his share or
soda cake and his draft Of milk from
her hands. Then in the quiet evening,
when the work was done and the even
Ing meal was over, Peter would rise
and look out of the door and say to his
father or sisters: "'ris a fine night.
think I'll go for bit of a stroll" And
the bit Of stroll inevitably ended on
the narrow path through the whin
bushes up to the stile, over which II
was but three steps into Alec McCros-
sans haggard. and then across to where
the freight shone welcoming through
an open door.
Around the fire the family circle was
widened to make room for him, as
matter of course. Maybe he took
draw at the pipe, and maybe he didn't.
Anyhow he would sit there quiet and
contented for long enough. talking all
the time to McCrossan or the neighbor
men, but with quiet. happy eyes watch
Ing Rosie, the loved and chosen one, as
she sat In the pickering light or moved
about the room. And there was CLEAN
In her eyes and smile on her lips
which told him he was welcome and
babe him stay long and come again
soon, and In his heart was firm re-
solve, as soon as ever he saw his way
to marrying, that he would have Rosie
and no other.
This, In spite Of all that is written in
story books and silly romances or
shown on the stage, is the recognized
and seemly Irish way of courting.-

In China, about twelve miles from
the village of Lionchek, there is, ac-
cOrding to a writer in the Liverpool
Post, mountain of alum, which, in
addition to being natural curiosity
is source OF wealth for the inhab-
itants Of the country, who dig from it
yearly tons of alum. The mountain Is
not less than ten miles in circumfer-
ence at Its base and has a height of
nearly 1900 feet. The alum is OBJ
tanned by Quarrying large blocks OF
stone, which are first heated In great
furnaces and then in watts filled with
boiling water. The alum crystallizes
and forms layer about six inches in
thickness. This layer is subsequently
broken up into blocks weighing about
ten pounds leach.

That certain insects, birds. mammals
and reptiles hnbitually pretend to be
dead when danger threatens them is q
we'll known fact, but 1t is generally be-
lieved that this stratagem is resorted
to only by animals. In South America,
however, there is asplant-a species Of
mimosa-which resorts to death feign-
ing, evidently for the purpose of pre-
venting the grass eating animals from
eating it. In its natural state this
plant has a vivid green hue. but di-

Humble Pie.

We often hear of eating humble
pie" In the,oid hunting days of "Mer-
RE England" when stag was brought
down. the quarry was broken" on the
spot, the choice parts of the venison
being reserved for the lmntsmen, while
the entrails, heart, liver. etc, called in
the hunting language of the day the
"numbles." were given toithe common
people.
OF these they made pie called
humble piee' Hence to eat humble
pie" became to abase onescif-apolo-
gize abjectfy. The transition from
humble pie" to humble pie" was
easy, especially in view of the signifi-

The motto of the conscientious guest
is Nine. Mohrs well known saying, at
