ROCK FORMATION.
In One Sense stones DO Grow, and
In Another They Do Not.

In One Sense stones DO Grow, and
In Another They Do Not.
Rocks do not grow in the sense that
plants do. They may increase In size
by means of lccretion, and they may
also undergo other changes. Old sea
beds, lifted up and exposed for ages, be-
come stratlfied beds of sandstone or
limestone; volcanic ashes and lava
strewn over hills and plains become
tufa, hard enough for building stone,
and the pebbly shores of rivers and
smaller streams may sometimes
change into conglomerates. The simple
mineral, however, does grow, especial
ly when 1t takes upon itself the form
OF u crystal A sparkling prism Of
quartz increases from an atom to
monster crystals of varying length and
size by what geologists know as
process of addition and assimilation"
This process is wonderfully slow, but
with mathematical eXactness that Is
n surprise to persons even well up"
in the science of geology. In one sense
stones grow; in another they do not.
The crystal may become longer and
larger, but the bowlder on the roadside
will not increase hairbreadth In
length or width in the next 10000
years

Most Horrible of All Dreams.

No words are strong enough to point
out the danger of slow poisoning by
drugs which are often taken to procure
sleep, whether 1t be an alcoholic night
cap, morphine, opium, chloral or any
other. The medical man has recourse
with reluctance to these as last and
temporary resort, and only he can tell
how many lives are wrecked by the
III timed use Of them and their subse-
quent abuse. OF all horrible dreams
none is so awful as those which assail
people who habltually use these false
comforters Better than all the drugs
in the world for procuring sleep are
simple food, regular life and a calm
mind.-Cassells

DARING PIRATES.
At One Time the Japanese Were the
Vikings OF the East.

At One Time the japanese Were the
Vikings OF the East.
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries
the Japanese were the most dashing
pirates of the east-in fact, we might
almost call them the vikings of the
east, says Il writer in an English jour
nal. They used junks - small ships
with scrap of sail, but quite as sea-
worthy as, for instance the little YES
sells in which the Danes once ralded
our own coasts or ms the craft which
the Penzance fishermen have today.
With these junks the Japanese roamed
the seas, going everywhere along the
Chinese main, ravaging the coasts,
trading and bringing home priceless
works of art from China.
1t was not until long afterward that
the ruling authorities of Japan, under
the great Emperor Hideyoshi, decided
that 1t suited their purpose to shut off
communication with the outside world
and to live to themselves, trading
merely among their own islands. The
old Japanese vikings were reduced to
simple fishermen. and the period of in
ternal feudatory wars began. for Mt
that time at least Japanese would fight
because they loved it.

CURIOUS WORSHIP.
The Custom of Throwing Prnyers mt
an Idol In Japan.

Along the sacred road of Nilxko, in
Japan, is an idol about which centers
one of the most curious worshlps In
the world. Upon the surface OF the
statue are seen little pieces of what
appears TO be dried paper. If you stand
by the idol for awhile and wait for n
worshlper to come along, you viii see
what these bits of paper are. The dev-
otee halts In front of the Image, then
scribbles n prayer on n bit of the pa
per. The wad lie then chcws mp into
ball and hurls at the god. If 1t
hits the face and sticks. the prayer IL
sure to he granted, and the pious pill
grim goes away happy. If the ball
sticks to some portion of the body, the
omen Is not quite so propitious, and II
II falls TO the ground there is absolute
ly no hope.
Such mode OF prayer Is even more
curious than the praying wheels of the
Buddhlsts, who set the wheel revolving
and reel Off prayers by machinery As

A MATTER OF ACCENT.
n was Very Embarrassing For the
Lady who Liked Duck.

The canvasback duck looked very
tempting 10 the hungry dinner guest,
but It wns sliced into tantallzingly
small pieces. She determined 10 take
two. though guilty glance at the
plates showed her that none of the 9th
or guests had ventured upon more
than one. The slices loomed up like
whole ducks as they lay before her,
safely landed. Was everybody at the
table gazing at them? TO her horror,
the butler instead of moving ON, stood
holding the platter by her side. Was
the tone in his voice one of stern disap-
proval or sarcasm? For there he stood
and asked.

that cold mocting voice in her ear:

Everybody at the table by this time
must be transhxing her and her two
slices, but she did not dare look up to
see. The butler must be drunk. What

then from down the table came the

THE JEWSHARP.
It's First Name WINS jews Trump,
but No One Knows why.

It's First Name wns jews Trump,
but No One Knows why.
The iewsharp has been with us for
more than three centuries. We find In
Hakluyt's Voyages" n reference to the
roaring trade in jewsharps done by
Duddelcy and Raleigh with the new
world. Earlier still the name was jews
trump, but no one has succeeded in
tracing historically the reason for Ell
ther name. Various theories have been
put forward.
The suggestion that Il is corruption
of jaws harp and the connection of It
with the French "jeu" are dismissed
by modern authorities as "baseless and
incpt" Professor Skeat thinks that the
name was given In derlslon and con-
tains a reference to the harp of David.
Smythe-Pulmer maintained that 1t
ought TO be identified with "gewgaw,"
which at one time meant flute.
But the most likely solution of the
puzzle is that the little instruments
were first sold In England and Scotland
by Jewish peddlers Although Jews
had no legal status in England between
the times of Edward |. and Cromwell
It is known that many found their way
to Great Britain, where their natural
occupation would be that of wandering
peddlers. Globe.

In Japan well bred woman docs
not go to the theater until she is old

her to understand music. If she is re-
ligious she is termed "fiighty." She

tending TO her children and servants
and performing all sorts of menial
