The naming of a book Is no holiday
task, and authors particularly proud of
title are tolerably sure to discover
that it has been already used. But the
naming of II yacht is almost a greater
perplexity. Plagiarism may in this case
result in practical confusion carrying
the most awkward consequences, and
not all titles to which, in search of va
riety, recourse has already been had
are satisfactory from all points of
view. Not long ago, for instance,
very grave British cabinet minister,
perhaps wishing for once to be spright-
ly, called lis yacht Flirt. He had not
consulted his family, who were, howev-
err quite sure, he thought, to delight in
his outburst of gayety. However, his
daughters naturally remarked how
very disagreeable it would be to go
ashore with that label around their
hats.

The Origin of the Diamond.

The diamond is still one of the mys-
teries of geology. When the South Af-
rican fields were discovered there was
much astonishment to find the gem in
a series of minerals quite different
from those in which it had been hither-
to found in India and Brazil. Instead
of lying beside tourmaline, anatase and
broollite it was mingled with a breccia
of magnetism rocks which had evident
ly been pushed up from below, and Il
great variety of minerals, such as diop-
side, mica, zircon and corundum, were
imbedded along with it.
Some have supposed that the dia-
mond was originally formed where it
is now picked up, and the presence Of
carbureted gas and carboniferous
rocks is in favor of the idea, but, on
the other hand the broken condition
of some of the stones and other facts
make it far more probable that the
diamond has been elected from deep
er source.

Poets have always loved dogs. In
this poets and boys resemble each 9th
er. Walter Savage Landor was de-
voted to his dog Giallo, and Byrons
epitaph upon his dog Boatswain we all
remember:
To mark a friends remains these stones
arise;
I never had but one and there he lies.
Cowper was very fond of his dog,
and we know how Charles Lamb, who
was prose poet, loved his Dash and
how Mrs. Browning appreciated the
little Flush to whom she indited a
poem. The Earl of Shaftesbury kept
his noble collie in his library with him
at all times, and Samuel Rogers al
ways walked out with his dog. Scott
declined an invitation to dinner when
his dog died. saying that he could not
accept on account of the "loss of an
old friend"

The Elder Sister.

A hen came off the nest with one
chicken. She was very sensible hen
and did not waste too much time on
that one. When she thought it was old
enough to look after itself she went to
laying again. The chicken would go
with her to the nest, and when the
time for sitting on the eggs came the
patient little creature assisted in that
process too. When the brood was
Matched she followed with it, and after
a few weeks of this life the practical
mother turned the family over to the
elder sister and again went about what
she considered her chief business in
life-to lay eggs.
1t was novel sight to see the half
grown chicken taking care of the
brood. She did her best to initiate the
mother, scratching and trying to cluck,
but making strange noise. The little
chickens followed her contentedly and
seemed to forget all about the mother.

Getting m Egg In China.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world is authority
for the statement that one food is uni
versal throughout all countries, says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
"There Is not part of the world" he
says, "where you cannot get an egg"
While in western China, however, he
at first had some difficulty in getting
even eggs. The natives could not un-
derstand him and refused to recognize
the pictures he drew as pictures of
eggs. THE way l got out Of the diff
Guilty" he adds, was that l squatted
down on my launches, tapped my
wings and cock-a-doodle-dooed until
the entire nation grasped what l want
ed, and l was simply deluged with
hundreds of eggs"

Fol.owed His Advice,

One day couple of girls went to the
Roper livery stable and asked for a
gentle horse, as they wanted to drive
out in the country a few miles. The
man gave them one and told them the
horse would be all right if they kept
the rein from his tail. When they re-
turned in the evening he asked them If
they had any trouble. "Oh, no." said
one; there was one little shower, but
we had an umbrella and we took turns
at holding it over the horses tail, so
that there was not drop of rain
touched it, and we got along all right"

eryman has been wearing.-Hickman

FOR THE CHILDREN
Herman's PrOmptness.

Herm1e!'
How Herman did hate to go! He was
setting up Il little water wheel in the
ditch, and it was the greatest trial to
leave it.
"Hermier' Suddenly Hermie remem-
bered what father had said to him.
''Take good care of your mother, Her
man, for she is sick and nervous, and
any excitement may upset her."
He dropped the windmill and ran to
the porch where mother was calling.
"Hermie," said mother in a worried
tone, "look off there toward the rail-
road track Do you see that smoke ?
That ought not to be there"
Herman looked. Its only a little
grass, mother, burning along the track.
That's all right" he urged, eager to get
back to the water wheel.
"Oh, but, Hermie, please go down
and see that there isn't anything
wrong" begged mother. "And, Hermie,
don't get hurt" she added in fresh ter
ror.
"All right, mother; I'll see to it," he
answered cheerily and started off to-
ward the track.
First he ran to please his mother;
then he walked then as the flames
came into sight he began to run again.
What was it? No grass fire along the
track could look like that. The long
wooden bridge was burning, and in five
minutes the train would be due.
"What shall do?' painted poor Her
mie as he hurried up the steep railroad
grade. II must wave a red flag"
But he had nothing with which to
flag the train. For a moment he stood;
then suddenly he pulled off his red
blouse and waved it vigorously at the
speck which approached in the dis
tance.
The engineer caught sight of the
dancing little figure that waved the red
blouse so frantically and brought the
train to standstill.
The train men came clambering down
to fight the fire. The passengers fol-
lowed after, and the very first to come
out of the car was Hermie's father.
"Oh, what would have happened if
had not come quickly when mamma
called me?' said Herman, with shud-
der.
1t was happy boy that went back to
his water wheel with enough money in
his pocket to buy a steam engine that
would really run.-Exchange.

FREELAND, Pa, JUNE 10, 1903.
DIVERTING A RIVER.


Until about the beginning of the last
decade all the geography classes in our
schools were taught, and correctly, that
the city Of Vicksburg, Miss, made his
toric during the civil war, was situated
on the banks of the Mississippi river.
This statement, however, ceased to be
fact some ten or more years ago,
when the Father of Waters, in one Of
his erratlc moods forced new chan
mel for himself and left Vicksburg
perched on q high bluff several miles
inland. The town, which had been one
of the most important steamboat ports
on the big stream, was thus suddenly
deprived of much of the traffic that had
caused it TO prosper. Strangely enough,
the misfortune was an echo of the ia
nous siege of Vicksburg, and General
Ulysses s. Grant was primarily re-
sponsible for it. In order that the I'm
ion gunboats might run past the shore
batteries unharmed Grant sought to di-
vert the waters of the Mississippi away
from the city by digging n new chan
mel. The great river refused at the time
to take the new course marked out for
1t, but it eventually did SO more than
thirty years after such action could be
of any use to the Union army.
Naturally the people of Vicksburg
did not accept with good grace the
Mississippi's belated performance, so
damaging to their material interests.
They clamored for a restora tion of the
old days when they dwelt near naviga-
bic waters and when stately floating
palaces touched at their wharfs and
trade fiourished. They appealed to con-
gress for aid, and the national law
makers made an appropriation for con-
structing n canal northward to the va
zoo river. This canal was recently
completed, and the water was let into
the chanpel deserted by the Mississip-
pi. The flow was abundant and filed
the space from bank to bank, making
Vicksburg once more river town.
The event caused general rejoicing in
the city, which has already begun to
feel the good effects of renewed traffic

Artificial Limbs,

Artificial legs and arms are made so
perfectly these days that it is absolute
ly impossible to tell that some people
made so that the lower part has all
the action of the human foot and are
made to wear the same size shoe as
the opposite foot. The shoe on the real
foot will wear out in half the time the
one on the artificial one, which is said
to be due to the heat from the real
member. Artificial hands are made so
that the owner can pick up a pin.
Hard to believe, isn't it? But there is
q magnet in the end of the artificial
hand.

An Astonishing boy.

1t is not common thing for boys
mind to be fixed with any remarkable
degree of intensity upon the duty of a
prompt arrival at school, but there are
exceptions to all rules, and little Ray
mond Scott is one Of these exceptions.
His story appears in the Philadelphia
Inquirer as follows:
Seven-year-old Raymond Scott of
BIT Warren avenue, Camden, had a
remarkable escape from locomotive
yesterday morning at Haddon avenue
station as he was on his way to school.
The boy ran across the tracks directly
in front of an Atlantic City express.
The engines pilot struck him, and he
rolled over and over for thirty feet.
When picked up, the train crew was
astounded when Raymond said.
"Where are my books? Hurry up, or
I'll be late"

INSPIRED BY A SKELETON.
The Story of How Chopin Composed
His Funeral March.

Late one summers afternoon, said
Ziem, Chopin and l sat talking in my
studio. In one corner of the room stood
piano and in another the complete
skeleton of man with large white
cloth thrown, ghostlike, about it. l
noticed that now and again Chopin's
gaze would wander, and from my
knowledge of the man | knew that his
thoughts were far away from me and
his surroundings. More than that, l
knew that he was composing.
Presently he rose from his seat with
out a word, walked over to the skele-
ton and removed the cloth. He then
carried it to the piano and, seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture of life and
death.
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton, he laid the
latters fingers over his own and be-
gan to play. There was no hesitation
in the slow, measured flow of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music swelled in a louder
strain l closed my eyes, for there was
something weird in that picture of man
and skeleton seated at the piano, with
the shadows of evening deepening
around them and the ever swelling and
ever softening music filling the air
with mystery. And l knew l was lis
tening to composition which would
live forever.
The music ceased, and when looked
up the piano chair was empty, and on
the floor lay Chopin's unconscious
form, and beside him, smashed all to
pieces, was the skeleton | priced so
much. The great composer had swoon-
ed, but his march was found.-New

Very Mild Ten.

The late Augustus Hare was fond of
relating an amusing incident which
illustrated the observation-disclosures of
his cousin, Dean Stanley, and DIR. Jow-
EFT. Both were quite devoid of either
taste or smell, and for some reason
both were inordlnately fond of tea.
One morning they had each drunk
eight cups, when suddenly, as Jowett
rose from his table, he exclaimed:
"Good gracious! forgot to put the tea
inr' Neither had noticed the omission
