A. Wonderful CANYON.

In preparing for the construction Of
a tunnel to irrigate the Uncompahgre
valley in western Colorado, it became
necessary to make a topographic sur
vey of the bottom Of the grand canyon
of the Gunnison river for a distance
Of about 1900 feet. But the walls Of
this canyon, approximately 1000 feet
in height, are sheer precipices, and it
is impossible to go through in boats.
A descent to the bottom was effected
by means of a narrow fissure eroded
in the granite cliffs, but in order to
reach the opposite side Of the river,
with the aid of similar flssure, the
surveying party had to make detour
of about $50 miles. In all, four ex-
trcmely perilous deserts were made
to the bottom of the canyon. In places
it was necessary to let the men down
over cliffs several hundred feet by
means of ropes.

MsIav CLAW Eaters,

Consumption OF earth as food is
common not only in China, New Gale
donia and New Guinea, but in the
Malay Archipelago as well. The testi-
mony of many travellers in the Orient
is that the yellow races are especially
addicted to the practice. In Java and
Sumatra the clay used undergoes a
preliminary preparation, being mixed
with water, reduced to paste and the
sand and other hard substances re-
moved. The clay is then formed into
small cakes or tablets about as thick
as a lead pencil and baked in an iron
saucepan. When the tablet energies
from this process it resembles a piece
of dried pork. The Javanese frequent
ly eat small figures roughly modelled
from clay, which resembles animals
or little men turned out in pastry
shops.

OLD CLOCK A WONDER.
Ancient Timeplece Furnishes minister

The old-fashioned grandfather's
clock is becoming a rarity, and only
now and then one of them is offered
at a public sale in the country dis

one recently selling for $265, when the
competition between descendants Of
tho original owner was lively.
Recently c. c. Meyer Of Orwigs-
burg, Pa, bought one of these anti.
quated timepieces, and as a result of
his reconstruction the clock, instead
of merely striking the hour, now
shows the date, day of the week and
strikes different bells for the hour and
the half-hour. Then on Sunday morn
ings, at precisely $3.50, the clocks
church chimes ring. q small door
opens above the dial, and the figure
of man appears, book in hand. This
figure remains above the dial all day
Sunday, disappearing late on that day.
and not appearing till the following
Sunday.
Young Meyer, who is "a years old,
is noted for his ingenuity. At an early
age he became interested in the con-
struction of odd machines. The old
clock adorns his home and is much
admired piece Of furniture.

VALUE OF MORAL TRAINING.
Most Important Point in Bringing Up

In bringing up our children, we
have learned that in regard to religi-
Gus matters, the sacred needs to be
diluted with the secular. In other
words, religious instruction in the alb
stract is not nearly so efficacious In
character building as the making
few principles of righteousness vital

precept, says Good Housekeeping. My
boy quickly learned the Bibles in
functions as to kindness end gener-
osity, but when he gave ten cents Of
hard earned money to help a poor
woman, the act made a greater i'm
preston upon his nature than all his
Sunday schooling. Most of us par.
ents need to realize that actions
speak louder than words-that good

The Arcadian.
The recipient of this letter could
hardly believe her eyes. 1t was the
first remuneration she had received
fer her work during long years OF
struggle. Her successful effort was
the story Of a woman who had sacri-
feed love to win fame in her chosen
profession, in which she succeeded.
She reaped wealth, fame and honor,
but her heart was not satisfied The
man whom she had rejecte', but still
loved was now bound to another. She
had paid the price of fame."
The same day on which Agatha
Stanley received payment fer her
story, she read in the society column
of daily paper the following:
Mr.. Reginald Lorimer, the newly
appointed editor of the Arcadian, is
said to be worshiping at the shrine Of
Miss Florence Lippincot, prominent
society belle of the city in which he
lives"
A mingled expression of surprise
and pain came into Miss Stanley's
eyes. Il never dreamed that he was
the editor who accepted my story"
she soliloquized. Did it merit pub
lication, or did he act from personal
motives, ] wonder? Could he read the
authors heart between the lines? If
so, how he must mock it. Am | to

ley Lad been playmates, schoolmates
and friends. AS they grew to man
hood and womanhood their friendship
had developed into love.
When Agatha was nineteen, her
father died, leaving a large family in
poor circumstances. and it fell to her
to look to the welfare of the family.
Some time after Mr.. Stanley's death
Lorimer declared his love and asked
Agatha to become his wife. Feeling
that her duty was at home, and g.
though y nearly broke her heart, she
rejected his offer. She gave MIN no
hope for the future. and so they
parted.
Time passed rapidly. Lorimer had
gone to a distant city and entering
the field of journalism had made rapid
strides.
Miss Stanley had taken up litera
iure as her life work, but her journey
was long and disheartening. At length
however, her persistency was reward
ed. One manuscript placed seemed tc
clear the way and her subsequent eff
forts were accepted with requests for
more. Still, with success standing
brightly before her, there was an
aching void in her heart.
One beautiful morning in early June
Agatha was sitting by an open win
dow, writing. She seemed unable to

concentrate her thoughts from her
work to the grand scene outside, and
then to the feelings of her owS heart.
AS she sat dreaming of the old days,
her attention was attracted to a man
coming up the walk toward the house.
He rang the bell, and as Agatha
opened the door an exclamation of
surprise escaped her lips; for there,
before her, stood Reginald Lorimer.
1t was the first time they had met
In three years.
Miss Stanley, allow me to congrat-
ulate you on your success. 1t is Ger
tainly merited."
