Bootless Journey.

THREE women and two men, all nem-
 bers of one family, recently travelled ' from Tomsk. in Siberia, to St. Peters
 burg, being convinced that their for tune would be made as soon as they reached the capital.
 While at work in a new mine in Siberia one of the men discovered a large stone, in which apparently there was a good deal of gold, and Straightway he decided to go with his family to St. Petersburg and sell the precious metal to the government. Having no money the five. one of whom was an old man and another a little girl. were obliged to walk the entire distance $500 kilometres-and 1t took them six months and half to perform the Journey. They never lost courage, however, and, no matter how tired they were at night, one of them always remained awake to guard the stone. which was to make them mill ionnaires.
 Their disappointment therefore can be imagined when they were informed at the public treasury that the stone, which weighed fifty kilogrammes. was not worth more than SIP. Luckily for them the news papers heard of their long and futile jour- ney and raised enough money to enable them to return to their home in Siberia. >~%%><>~

 The Man and the Sign. .N NCE upon a time a traveller went along a strange road on his way to a O certain city and was puzzled when he
 approached where the road was forked, but was we'll satisfied and pleased when he beheld sign post on which was a board bearing the name of the town that he sought.
 The board was pointing along the right hand road and told him that the distance to be yet travelled was only four miles. AS he was not aware that a cyclone was along the road only the day before and had turned the board twenty degrees from It's proper position he went on his way re- )oicing. But his rejoicing was turned to sorrow when he learned that he would have to walk eight miles to no good pur- pose. Moral:-It is not safe to put trust in signs. ss

|THE Koran, the Mohammedan Bible, is
 not used as constantly or handled as
 | carelessly as the Christian Bible is.
 although undoubtedly every Moslem can quote more chapters from the Koran than the Christian can from the Bible. This is because the Mohammedan child s education Is largely if not entirely re- ligious. and for the most part the child learns his lessons from the teacher by word of mouth, the teacher himself not being able to read in some cases. The Koran is always carried in little stand, in shape somewhat resembling an old fashioned sawhorse. It is made of palm branches or of turned spindles. called moushrabieh work. let into a solid piece of wood.

Curious Sun Chariot.

 IN a peat moor of Trundholm, in the
 Danish island of Seeland. a remarkable discovery was recently made in conaec-
 tion with that sun worship which was once widely diffused among the whole Ger manic race. Near Nykjobbing and six inches under the decayed vegetable growth was found bronze sun chariot, which represents the disk of the heavenly orb. drawn on three pairs of wheels by a horse.
 Dr. Sophrs Muller, director of the National Museum at Copenhagen, and other Danish archaeologists say that this sun chariot must be about three thou sand years old Yet 1t Is most artistic in it's way. The sun disk is covered with a circular and spiral ornamentation, the de- sign of which was evidently first worked in with a graver, after which thin rlate of gold was pressed in. The horse, which is hollow, was connected with the disk ny loopholes on his neck, through which reins were slipped, and ct the tail is an opening which was probably intended for a horsehair appendage.
 The disk is only thirteen and 8 half inches long and the chariot, the wheels of which are broken, was doubtless for merly rolled about on an altar. That the wheels were broken on purpose is very likely, as 1t was customary in the north fto destroy valuable things whenever of ferings were made to the gods. The or- namental design somewhat resembles those found at Mycenae and Troy, and as there was in old days a trade route from a Northern Scythian region down to the Adriatic Gulf some archeologists are inclined to believe that there was even in those days artistic intercourse be- tween the North and the South.
 Karl Blind, who Is well known as an authority on myths and folk worship eays on this point:-'I am prepared to show that the beautiful Hellenic myth of the Heliades or Sun Daughters-who when weeping for the death of their brother, Phaethop, were changed into trees, their tears becoming amber--is evil dently tale originally brought south ward from the north in the course of trade" However this may be, there was long ago throughout the north a wide spread belief in a sun drawn by a steed,

A Guide to Wayfarers.

N the picturesque village of Bainburg the quaint old custom is kept up of blow ing horn every winters night at nine o'clock. It is blown from the village green, and is meant to guide travellers to the town who may have wandered on the surrounding felis. The fine horn now in use was recently presented to the vil- lage and at one time adorned the head or an African bull. The ancient horn In previous use Is a good deal worse for wear and is kept as an interesting relic.

 the English surveying ship Penguin. The line had been run out to 3,9O0 fathoms when 1t broke. the bottom not having been reached. even at this depth Of nearly five and half miles. This distance is more by 2I5 fathoms than the deepest spot hitherto known. The spot where the depth has been found is not far from the Friend ly Islands, off the coast of Japan.
