CURSE THAT WAS EFFECTIVE.
lafcadio Hearn Tells Story Of Japa.
nese Superstition.


In one of his recent stories Lafcadio
Hearn deals with singular supersti-
ton in Japan. A woman had, accord
ing to very common custom in ia
pan, given her mirror to go into the
melting pot to make bell for a Bud
dhist temple. After she had given
it she remembered that it had been
her mothers and her grandmother
and that it must have reflected a good
many happy smiles. So sh. regretted
giving it. She longed for the chance
OF stealing it back, but it never came.
RAs the mirror was given grudgingly
1t would not melt. She was sure that
everybody must know who had done
such q dreadful thing as to grudge a
gift to a temple, so she drowned her
self, leaving farewell letter contain
ing these words: when I am dead,
it will not be difficult to melt the mir
rOr and to cast the bell. But, to the
person who breaks that bell by ring.
ing it, great wealth will be taken by
the ghost of me-" This was a magni-
t1cently effective curse, because every
body tried to ring the bell till it should
break. The priests were driven to
the verge Of madness by the ringing
and threw it into a swamp, so that
nobody could ring it any more.

Love Is Life.

Our days are few and full of strife;
Like leaves our pleasures fade and rail-;
But Thou who art the all-in-all.
Thy name is Love, and love Is life!
We walk in sleep and think we see;
Our little lives are clothed with dreams:
For that to us which substance seems
Is shadow, 'twiHt ourselves and Thee
We are immortal now. and here,
Chances and changes, night and day.
Are landmarks in the eternal way,
Our fear is all we have to fear.
The soul that drifts all dsrkly dim
Through floods that seem outside OF
grace,
Is only surging toward the place
Which Thou hast made and meant for
him.
For this we hold-ill could not be
Were there no power beyond the III.
Our wills are held within Thy will:
The ends of goodness rest with Thee.
Fall, storms of winter, as you may:
The dry boughs in the warm spring
rain
Shall put their green leaves forth
And surely we are more than they:
Alice Cary.

Well Of His Country.
1t is stated in London paper that
Mr.. J. N. Tata, the millionaire philan-
thropist of Bombay, who died recently,
had made experiments extending over
a series of years for the acclimatiza-
ton of Egyptian cotton in India, and
in suitable localities these met with
some measure of success. In many
other ways, such as seri-culture, after
the Japanese method in Mysore. the
extension of the use of artesian wells
and the introduction of cold storage.
Mr. Tata contributed to the industrial
expansion of the country Of his birth.
BY means Of his scholarships for In
dian youths of special promise in
Europe and America, he afforded
many of his young fellow-countrymen
opportunity for gaining technical
knowledge The Indian University OF
Research to be created at Bangalore
as the outcome of his offer of an en-
downment of 100000, will be the
monument of his beneficent career.

Slow Spanish Train Service.

Trains in Spain are certainly slow.
A rate of ten or twelve miles an hour
is considered good average of speed
for everyday travellers. When the
Spanish officials wish to show visiting
foreigners what they really can accom-
plish in the way of rapidly, they offer
express trains which dash madly
across the landscape at an average
rate of fifteen or eighteen miles an
hour. In one way this proves an ad-
vantage for the traveller sees a great

Work..

Let me but do my work from day to
day.
In field or forest at the desk or loom.
In roaring market-place, or tranquil
room:
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray:
'This is my work: my blessing; not my
doom: i.'
OF all who live, l am the one by whom
This work can best be done, in the right
way .....
Then shall I see it not too great, nor
small,
TO suit my spirit and to prove my
powers; ... .....
Then shall I cheerful greet the labor
ing hours.
And cheerful turn, when the long shad-
ows fall
At eventlde, to play, and love, and rest,
Because I know for me my life is best
Henry Van Dyke.

Orjojn Of "Score."

Score" for twenty came into the
English language about 1900. 1t comes
from the Anglo-Saxon scor, the root
of shear, shire, scar and means to cut.
To avoid the difficulty Of large num-
bers, accounts were kept by cutting
notches in a stick, Galley tally, and
after twenty such notches the tally
was cut off, which thus became a
score" These were used in England
for keeping the exchequer accounts,
even to the beginning Of the nine
teenth century. A cricket score was
once spoken of as SO many notches,
and the rind of pork is scored. The
word is first used in a poem called
"The Bestiary" and in Cursor Mundi."

The Queer Sunfsh.

> The sunfish or headtish is fairly COM
mon in the vicinity of Santa Catalina
island. It's general appearance is OBJ
long and deep, very thin or compress
ed, cut off (truncate) behind, so there
appears to be no tail, mere rim of
movable flesh taking it's place. which
has very limited use in the slow loco
motion Of this extraordinary fish. The
skin is hard and coarse. rough, scale
less and covered with fiat ,spines, the
entire skin covered with a thick coat
ing of slime, which appears to be a
world in itself for numerous parasites
which prey upon the fish.
This extraordinary fish is one of the
few fishes of little or no use to man.
II am Of the opinion says a natu-
ralist, that the hard skin might be
utilized. I once learned that the boys
of a certain village in Maine were
anxious to secure the muscular en-
velope of specimen caught by me to
use it as rubber. They cut the hard,
elastic substance into round shapes
and used them for the interior of home
made baseballs."

Use of Both Hands.

There are comparatively few people
who can use both hands indifferently.
vet this is q most sensible accomplish
ment. When one hand grows tired, the
other should be able to take up the
work. for thus more can be accom-
plished without undue fatigue. In the
mechanical departments of German
schools the boys are obliged to do
much of the work with their left
hands. They are taught to saw, plane
and hammer equally well with both
hands and to make large circles on the
black board first with one hand and
then with the other. says Home Notes.
Man. said to be the highest of ami
mails. is the only one which cannot use
all his limbs with equal ease. Man
uses his eyes equally well and his
legs, but how few people can make
their left hands do even half Of the
things accomplished eas.iy by the right.
And this state Of affairs is simply be-
cause the left hand is not trained. The
child is generally not allowed to let it
do its share of work, but is made to
keep it idle while the right hand does
the greater part. of the work of the

An American traveller writes: ''Ath-
ems itself, as a city, is insufferable. 1t
is raw, garish new. staring, crude. 1t
smells of paint. 1t reeks of varnish.
1t is redolent Of last week. It is the
newest city one sees in southern Eu-
rope. 1t is dusty, it is noisy, it is vul-
gar. Everything in it is imitation. The
palaces are imitation. The hotels are
imitation. The army is imitation The
city is a sham. 1t is joy to leave
the commonplace streets, to quit the
insufferable city and to climb the
Acropolis. There everything is calm
and peaceful, and the magnificent ruins
are restful. There only in Athens do
you find a spot which is not oppressive
ly new and raw. The royal palace is
one Of the newest and the rawest of all
the raw, new buildings"

BY all means to be avoided is a = cat
with thin, sharp nose and twitching
ears. 1t must be remembered also that
a good monser is not necessarily gen.
tie or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice if she is not over
fed, quick. full, expressive eyes gener-
ally betoken a good mouser. The great
mistake and. probably the most COM
mon one in the care OF domestic cats
is overlooking, particularly too much
meat In wild life the cat has exercise
which enables her to digest her food.
In the lazy house life the same full
feeding leads to stomach troubles and
to fits

Personal luxury-vulgar, ostentatious,

ties, in their sleeve links, in their gold

Brutal ostentation is near to being the
good form of today. Our women clothe
themselves with reckless profusiOn.

while all the rest of the stone was OF
it's proper velvety dark green hue. This
stone was used as an illustrative proof
that emeralds were born white, but
ripened into the right color in the mine,
time working one of it's usual mira
cles on the crystal. Indeed, beryl, that
pale green stone exactly like the emer-
aid in all essentials save color, has
often been called the mother of emer-
aid.
Aquamarine is beryl-in other
words, an unripe emerald, not yet ma
tured into the proper tint, and of this
the commOner varieties are by nc
means rare. Yet it is to be doubted
whether these unripe stones would
ever mature into the true and lawful
lustrous emerald.-London Queen.
