story Of Raphael, the Artist.

Raphael, the great Italian painter,
whose celebrated biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money, was
not a rich man when young and en-
countered some of the vicissitudes Of
life like many another genius.
Once when travelling he put up at
an inn, and remained there, unable to
get away through lack Of funds 10
settle his bill. The landlord grew sus-
piclous that such was the case, and
his requests for a settlement grew
more and more pressing. Finally,
young Raphael, in desperation, resort
ed to the following device:
He carefully painted upon u table
top in his room O number of gold
coins. and. placing the table in a GER
tain light that gave a startling effect,
he packed his few belongings and sum-
moned his host.
There" he exclaimed, with n lord
ly wave of his hand toward the table,
lis enough to settle my bill and more.
Now kindly show the way to the door. "
The innkeeper, with many smiles
and bows, ushered his guest out and
then fastened back to gather up his
gold. His rage and CONSERVATION
when he discovered the fraud knew
no bounds. until a wealthy English
traveller. recognizing the value of the
art put in the work, gladly paid him

Little Grace Meant Well, But Her Sub

Little Grace Meant Well, but Her Sub
stltute Was Not Welcome.
Grace is 4 years old, and has Just
begun her religious education in the
infant class Of the Sunday school It
is o custom OF the teacher Of this par
ucular infant class TO give each Of her
pupils card containing a short text
which the child lie expected to memo
rize during the week. In passing
them out she charged each Of the
children to be sure to keep them care
fully and return them the next Sun.
day, that they might be passed on to
the other.
Grace is not a very careful little
girl, and though fully impressed with
the duty of returning the card, she
neglected to put 1t in place Of safety.
and even before she had reached home
she discovered that she had lost It.
The thought worried her considerably
at first, until a bright idea came into
her head, and, strange to relate, II
stayed there all the week.
She said nothing to her mother
about the lost card, and the next Sun
day went OF to Sunday school happy
as usual. The infant class assembled
and the teacher called on the children
to return their cards When It came
Grace's turn, she arose and said, tim
idly: 81 am sorry, but lost my card
before got home. Papa gave me one
to play with, and I've brought you
that. It's lots prettier than the one /
lost" And she placed It with the
rest.
The young woman who was teach.
ing the infant class stared in mute as
constituent, while several unregener-
ate adults in different parts OF the
classroom bit their lips to keep from
laughing.
The card which Grace had rendered
was a somewhat dilapidated queen of
| hearts.

Swiss Glaciers.

In Switzerland the studies Of many
years have determined the fact finally
that the glaciers are not only steadily
receding, but that their rate Of recess
sion is becoming greater each year.
There are only a few glaciers that
still grow. The voveye glacier in
Canton Wallis is the only one that haE
increased since 1899. The famous
Rhone glacier has receded almost 800
yards since 1875.

DANGER IN A WATERFRONT.
Passed Close to Ocean Liner, Almost
Causing a Panic.

Causing Panic.
Such passengers of the Koenigin
Luise as had never seen a waterspout
had an opportunity of looking one
over, as that vessel was nearing port,
and looking it over at such close
range as to cause many to shrink back
In alright.
1t was on Monday noon and on the
outer edge of the Gulf Stream when
the spout was first discovered. 1t
was about five miles distant and broad
of the starboard bow. The word went
round that a waterspout was in sight,
and the 500 passengers who were pre-
pairing for luncheon hurried on deck
to see. The captain, with his chief
officer, Joined the fourth officer, who
was keeping watch on the bridge, and
narrowly watching the swirling mass,
calculated that it would clear the YES
sci and that 1t would not be necessary
TO alter her course in order to avoid it.
The spout rapidly drew near, and
with base bubbling and frothing went
swirling by short so feet under the
Gtern, making as it passed loud hiss
Ing, which was described like that of
escaping steam.
Just then rain squall came by, and
after it passed the spout was seen
Rstern, dim and shadowy, like a long
waving ribbon suspended from the
clouds.
Captain Volger estimated the pyra-
Tlo-shaped base to be 20 feet in diam

thickness.-New York Herald.
