One day when he was giving q dinners party to some distinguished people Sheridan sent for one of the brothers. told him he was now able to settle his account and invited him to the dinner party. asking him to come before the hour for some private con versation Chalfe arrived early. and he was no sooner in the house than Sheridan sent or servant with d note to the clerk desiring him, as Mr. Chalie was favoring him with his company, to send as soon as possible three dozen of burgundy, two dozen of claret. and two dozen of port, with dozen. of old hook. The unsuspecting clerk sent the wine, with which the guests were so pleased that they asked where it came from. Sheridan, turning toward Chalie. said, "I am indebted to my friend here for all the wine you have tasted and am always proud to recommend him." 1t was not until the following morning that Chalie realized the double mean ing in Sheridan's words.

The Paradaae os. umbreanaa.

surakarta is the paradise of umbrel- las. They are carried proudly over. the heads of every official and every noble man, but invariably are shut at the approach of person of higher rank, and inside the kraton no umbrella may be carried open except that of the em- peror himself. The umbrella is the crown, the wand of office, the outward sign of rank and distinction. There are umbrellas of gold inside and out for the emperor, of gold outside only for the empress, with a stripe of yell low satin for the emperor's brothers, with wider stripe of the same mate rial for his ilIegitimafe brothers, of white silk with a marrow gold stripe for the illegitimate sons of the fegfti- mate brothers, and SO on ad infnituIn. Every. official. every. military officer, exhibits his rank in his umbrella, which is invariably held from behind by an attendant whenever he leaves his house in sunshine or cloudy wealth CT. There is an official guide book to the umbrella labyrinth of Surakarta which contains not less than 300 vari- ous designs in all imaginable colors and ornaInentatiOn.-Cen

Calvary Glover.

f Calvary clover, flower strangely symbolic of the principles of Christi anity. fourishes in. Palestine. Calvary like those of other cl6-
 vers, are trefoil. embodying the doc Urine of the. Trinity, the central truth of Christianity. Soon after the plant begins to appear above the ground a deep spot of redifke blood appears up on each division of the leaf, but this disappears after few weeks.
 During the day the tiny leaflets form themselves into the shape of g cross, and as the sun sinks to rest the leaves again fold together, It has been sug- gested, as if in prayer. In due time the blossom becomes q small yellow low CT and then q spiral pod covered with thorns. In ripening the flowers inter lace, and in their peculiar positions many persons think they can detect the outline of crown. Tradition says that 1t is. gOol fortune to plant the seed of the Calvary clover on Good Friday.

 The Lonely Library

At the English universities the libra ries are so little used that they have become famous as places of unbroken solitude. One yarn told to illustrate this Is to the effect that an elderly fel- low of Caius college, Cambridge. got tired of life and determined to put him self quietly and unostentatiously out of the way, so that the world in general and Caius college iu particular should know him no more. Being man with a great love for his university and a greater love still for his college, he made up his mind that no scandal should be caused by his sudden depar- ture, so he debated in his mind the ways and means. His decision was an inspiration. He bought decent length of rope and hanged himself in the col lege library. But his hopes were doom ed te disappointment. He was discov- cred a year and a half later. 3 .

I There Is No More belfghtful Trait Fu ks sE3 Either YOmmg or Old. M
 There is no more delightful trait in
 the young or the old than absolute | frankness and Openness of nature.
 that transparency of character which
 lets us see the best and the worst in
 them, their strong and their weak points. without any effort at conceal ment. Y sgeSsfs.t ass se. .st t.
 Everybody admiressafhe- open heart ed, the people who have nothing to conceal, and who do not try to. cover l up their faults and weaknesses. They are. as q rule, larged hearted and magnanimous. They inspire love and confidence, and,. by their very frank ness and simplicity. invite the same qualities in others.
 Secretiveness repels as much as frankness attracts. There is some thing about the very inciination to con lsceal or cover up which arouses sus- piciOn and distrust. We cannot have tue same confidence in people who possess this trait. no matter how good they may seem to be. as in frank, Sunny natures. Dealing with these secretive people is like travelling on a stageceach on dark night. There is always q feeling of uncertainty. We may come out all right. but there is lurking fear of some pitfall or unknown danger ahead of us. We are uncomfortable because of the 'tin- certainties.' They may be all right. and may deal squarelys with us, but the trouble. is that we are, not sure, and cannot trust them. No matter how polite or gracious secretive per son may be, we can never rid our selves of the feeling that there is motive behind his graciousness. and that he has an ulterior, purpose in view. He is always more or less of an enigma. because he goes through life wearing a mask. He endeavors to hide every trait that is not favor able to himself. Never. if he can help it, do we get glimpse of the real man. z e. Easas e skHt s. -,1r
 How different the man Wlioi comes out in the open, who has no secrets. who reveals his heart to us and who Is frank. broad and liberal! How quick ly he wins our confidence! How we all love and trust him! We forgive him for many a slip or weakness because he is always ready to confess his faults and to- make amends for them If, he has bad qualities they are always in sight. and we. are ready to make al- lowances for them. His heart is sound and true; his syinpathies are broad anl active. The very qualities he possesses e--frankness and simplicity -are con ducive to the growth, of the highest manhood and womanhood.-Succ
