The Value of a sunny Soul.

The world is too full of sadness and
sorrow, misery and sickness. 1t needs
more sunshine 1t needs cheerful lives
which radiate gladness. 1t needs en-
couragers who will lift and not bear
down, who will encourage. not discour-
age.
Who can estimate the value Of sun
ny soul who scatters gladness and good
cheer wherever he goes instead Of
gloom and sadness? Everybody is at
tracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives and repealed by the gloomy.
the morose and the sad. We envy peo-
pie who radiate cheer wherever they
go and fling out gladness from every
pore. Money, houses and lands look
contemplate beside such disposition.
The ability to radiate sunshine is a
greater power than beauty or than
mere mental accomplishments Sue

A HEAVY DIET.
What the Pixies In Tipperary Waters
Like Most as Food.

What the Pixies In Tipperary Waters
Like Most as Food.
There is professional fisherman of
my acquaintance in Tipperary who
kills many pike during the winter
months, for which he finds ready sale
In the town. He told me Of one Gus
toner of his who was in the habit Of
SO beating him down in price that he
felt justified in resorting to somewhat
questionable means to increase the
weight of his fish. In the manner of
the winner of the stakes in the cele-
brated Jumping Frog sporting event,
he would introduce some weighty sub
stance into their interior, stones, bits
Of iron railing. etc.
Once he went so far as to stuff two
old handless fiatirons he had picked
from a refuse heap down the gullet of
one before taking it to his customer,
who having weighed it carefully and,
after much haggling, paid him frac-
ton less per pound for it than he might
have perhaps obtained elsewhere. Meet
ing him next day, he was instantly
aware there was trouble in the wind
by the opening remark, "What do pike
feed on, PaddyY "Och and indade,
your honor, but there's mighty little
that comes amiss to thin lads" he an
swered. Frogs and fish, sticks and
shtones they like well, but they would
give their two eyes for fiatirons."-

FRENCH MAY QUEENS.
A Pretty Custom Which Is still In

Vogue In Some Villages.
An ancient custom which still OBJ
tains in many villages in the south of
France is a pretty variation Of the
choosing of the May queen with which
six of his political officers choose from
among the village maidens the most
beautiful girl As soon as the choice
is made known the queen, dressed in
white, even to long white veil and
wreath of white roses, assemblies
with her parents and all the villagers
in front of the mayors house. Here
he and six friends, dressed in frock
coats and top hats, form in procession,
the mayor and queen leading, and
march to the church, where there Is
short ceremony.
They then march back to the may
or's house, where a favored few are
entertained at luncheon. When he
proposes her health he enumerates her
virtues, kisses her on both cheeks and
hands her an envelope which contains
the prize, $500 in money. But the cere-
mony does not end here. They form In
procession, the band leading this time,
and in sort of follow my leader
game walk through the village, up
lanes and over hills for three hours.
That evening ball is given at the inn,
where the queen dances first with the
mayor and his six friends and after
ward with the lads Of the village, and
SO the celebration ends. The queens
white veil, with the veil and wreath,
are carefully folded away and are
brought out again only when she be-
comes a bride.

Their Numbers Are SveIled by Their
Food and Their Filth.
In the small island of Crete leprosy
Is shockingly prevalent. The Cretans
have themselves to thank for this state
Of affairs. The houses may be pretty
and whitewashed on the outside, but
within the filth is fearful. And the
food they eat is just what encourages
leprosy. The Greek forbids meat about
200 days out of the year, so as good
Christians they must live on salt fish,
which is not improved by its long
journey from northern seas to southern
heat. The olive oil is so plentiful
they export 10000 tons each year-that
they use it to excess, even adding it to
the milk of rice pudding. But the
browning evil is pork, the fayorite fare
of the Cretans on days when the
church allows them to eat meat. The
leper is not cut off here as he is in the
Fiji islands or at the Cape. Outside
each village may be seen little white
house called the "leprochorion." Here

have any, are administered for them
by friends, and any one passing by the
door may speak to them. If the suf-
ferers be poor the state provides each
day a loaf of bread, and the charity
of passersby adds the luxuries.-New

OIL ON THE WATER.
Its Soothing Effect Was Known rs

Its Soothing Effect Was Known rs
Early as the Sixth Century.
A.few gallons of oil east upon stormy
seas moderates their violence and pre-
vents the waves from breaking with
force. That this is the case has long
been known. Theophylactes. the By
zantine historian of the sixth century,
propounded the question, why does
oil calm the sea?" and answered it to
the effect that as the wind is subtle
and delicate thing and oil is adhesive
and unctuous the wind glldes over the
surface of the water on which oil has
been spread and cannot raise waves
The wind, in fact. slips over the water
without being able to obtain grip.
In the gulf of Mexico there is re-
markable stretch of water about two
miles long by three-quarters of mile
broad to which the name of "oil spot
has been given because in the worst OF
storms the mariner finds still water
there.
Its character as a safe harbor of ref.
uge is said to be due to an oily proper
ty Of the mud stirred up by the storm.

THE PRIMITIVE STAGE.
How the Drama Flourished In the
Time of Elisabeth.

How the Drama FlOurished In the
Time of Elisabeth.
The great plays Of Marlowe, Shake
speare and Jonson were performed by
actors in Elizabethan dress in front Of
a curtain, usually in daylight, on lit
tie stage partly occupied by the gal
lants of the period, with their pages
and tobacco pipes. There was no fash
ionable actress, no orchestra, no lime
light, yet the drama was more popu-
lar than churchgoing and held its own
even with such gentle sports as bull
batting and "wiping of the blind
beare" The little that we know Of
the actors shows them. with the excep-
ton of Burbage and Nathaniel Field, to
have been very ordinary workaday
people, with empty pockets and domes-
tic affections and other modern charac-
teristics. Yet the protests of the Puri-
tans. the avaricious records of the
censor and the continual erection Of
new theaters in spite of the solemn
threats of the city fathers are evidence
enough Of the marvellous popularity to
which the art attained in that "spa-
cious time" Of playhouses most re-
markable for lack Of space.-London
