Our Burden Bearer.

The little, sharp vexations, And the briers that catch and fret, Why not take them all to the Helper Who has never failed us yet? Tell Him about the heartache. And tell him the longings, too; Tell him the baffied purpose When we scarce know what to do. Then leaving all our weakness With the One divinely strong, Forget that we bore the burden And carry away the song.

Her Name Was Enouul1.

81 heard an amusing story the othen
day." writes correspondent, from a
lady who has been often guest at
Viceregal lodge, Simla. 1t was on the
occasion of one of the first dinner par

ing over the reins of government. My
friends partner was certain major

Curzon's, and, hence, of the Misses

In conversation with Miss Daisy

say, that you know America pretty
well-have Travelled there, perhaps%

their backs with flip of the paw, ana
eat them at leisure.
Leathery turtles-which live in the
sea-have been reported weighing over
ton. This species is very rare. and
curious circumstance is that only
large adults or very small baby indi-
viduals have been seen. the turtles of
all intermediate growths keeping out
OF view in the great ocean.
Swapping turtles are among the
fercest creatures in the world. Their
first instinct on leaving the egg is to
open their mouths and bite at some
thing. They feed on almost anything,
but when in captivity they sometimes
refuse to eat, and have been known to
go a year without food, showing no
apparent i'll effects. One method
is interesting. A swapping turtle will
lie quietly at the bottom of pond or
lake, looking like an old water-soaked
log with branch-its head and neck
sticking up at one end. From the
tip of the tongue, the creatures ex-
trudes two small filiments of a pinkish
color, which wriggle about and bear a
perfect resemblance to the small round
worms of which fishes are so fond.
Fishes are attracted by these, swim up
to grasp the squirming objects and are
engulfed in the cruel mouth of the
angler. Certain marine turtles have
long-fringed appendages on the head
and neck, which they wave about and
thus make to serve a similar purpose.
The edible terrapin has become very
scarce in places, SO that thousands Of
them are kept and bred in enclosed
areas or "crawls" as they are called.
This species has great deal OF curl
osity. and if often captured by being
attracted by some unusual sound.
The tortoise-shell of commerce is OBJ
tanned from the shell of the hawksbill
turtle, the plates of which being very
thin, are heated and welded together
until of the required thickness. The
age to which turtles attain has often
been exaggerated, but they are certain
ly the longest lived of all living crea-
lures. individuals from the Galapa-
gos islands are estimated to be over
four hundred years Of age.-Uncas in
the New York Post.

Watch the Mustache.

A late fad among women is the
reading of male character by observa
tions at not too close range of the
mustaches of their masculine &C
quaintances. 1t is held that when the
mustache is ragged and. as it were,
flying hither and thither. there is a
lack of self-control. When it is
straight and orderly, the reverse is the
case. If there is tendency to curl at
the outer ends of the mustache there
is q tendency to ambition. vanity and
display. When the curl turns upward
there is geniality. When the inc1,Qa.
ton is downward there is more Sc
date turn of mind, not uuaccompanied
with gloom.-Detroit News.

NATURAL BENT.
The Last Estate of One Who in Youth
Was a Mathematical Prodigy.

Speaking of his idea of catering
to the natural bent of the child re-
minds me of a rather curious In
stance which has come under my OBJ
servation," said a man who was in a
reminiscent mood 'and it goes to
show that you cannot always tell just
what the bent may be in particular
child
Back in my school days-I was
living in the country at the time-I
had an acquaintance in the school
room who was exceptionally bright in
mathematics. Mathematics was an
open book to him. He took to the
study like a duck takes to water, and
things which would often stump all
as the nose on mans face. He was
wonder, and the natural dulness
and stupidity which displayed at the
time in the study caused me to mar
vel at the boys talent. He was sort
of rural sensation, and his friends
made high predictions for him. He
could juggle with figures until he
made you dizzy with wonderment.
His friend said he would be in the leg
islature by the time he was 81 years
old, and by the time he was 25 he
would be a member of the national
congress from his district, and at 35
he would certainly be in the United
States senate.
There was no question about the
boys future. 1t was as bright as a
May morning. In the meantime he
kept humoring his bent for mathema-
tics and he attained great proficiency
in the science. drifted out into the
world and lost sight of all my old
friends. More than 20 years after
wards l dropped back to the scenes
of my boyhood days. The first fellow
I thought of was the brilliant young
mathematician. I scanned all the pa
pers of the section from time to time
as could get them, expecting to see
that my old friend was doing big
things in the world. I found no men
ton of him and concluded that he
was dead.
Zone day I was walking along the
road toward my old home place when
I came upon a man driving an OK
team. The steers looked more like
jackrabbits than oxen, and the driver
was 4 typical countryman, sunburned,
with a red handkerchief tied around
his neck, a broad-brimmed hat on his
head, brogan shoes, and other things
in keeping. He asked me il I didn't
want to ride. I thanked him and
crawled up on the tongue with him.
He was red-headed fellow with a
stubby, sandy beard all over his face,
and an Adams apple that worked up
and down like a pump when he
talked. He held in his hand a long
whip fastened to long, willowy ham
die, the kind generally used in driving
oxen. Directly horsefly landed be-
tween the horns of one of the steers.
With unerring accuracy, after swing
ing the long whip around his head
once, he struck the fly with the crack
er of the whip and killed it. THAT
makes 104," he said proudly as the
fly rolled off in the road. There was
my mathematician, and no mistake. l
afterward told him who was and we
talked over old times. So you can't
always tell about this thing we call
the natural bent."-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

GREATEST HIGH DIVE.
Ridgsly. the Wonder, ID With the
WI. Parker Company. ..A

Ridgely, the premier high diver o.
the world, made very fine practict
dive Saturday morning at the Parker
factory and made headlong plunge
into tank Of water but few fee,
deep without mishap. The exhibit
tion took place in the presence Of
quite number Of people who had the
tip that the dive would take place.
Ridgely is under contract to the
Parker Amusement company and will
be one Of the big free attractions at
the merchants carnival, June 10th to
18th, In addition to the daylight
dives, Kidgely will introduce very
startling and sensational fire dive at
night, something never before at
tempted by any other diver in Amer
lea; enveloped in suit Of fire proof
material and saturated with gasoline,
Ridgely lights the dangerous f1u'd,
and Immediately jumps into space
and with the flames Of fire trailing
behind him for 20 feet jumps into the
tank OF water. There Is no other
diver living who can duplicate Ridge
ly's divei with the tank set way off
from the ladder, Ridgely leaps far out
into space and making a quick turn
strikes the water head first. Some
idea of the terrific force with which
the daring diver strikes the water
may be had by watching the splash,
part Of which is thrown 80 feet into
the air. Ridgely holds the record
and was also awarded the cash prize
Of $3.50 for the highest dive ever
made at Washington Park in Kansas
City several years ago. The actual
distance Of dive was 101 feet. ,asb
