asked to make list Of the things that
they would have been prevented from
doing during that day if they had not
the ability to read. The lists were read
in class the next afternoon. Some
very properly said that they could not
have learned their lessons for the next
day, could not have read the papers to
find out the hour for the musicale the
night before, could not have read the
catalogue to find out what the pictures
were at the art exhibition, etc. But

A Costly Retort.

when Chief Justice Chase, man of
great abilities and marked characters
tics, was presiding in one of the coun-
ty courts Of Vermont" said a lawyer
of the state, San appeal case from a
Justices court came up before him, so
small and contemplate in it's origin
that he ordered it stricken from the
docket. The case was where turkey
had trespassed upon the garden Of a
neighbor and got shot for his depreda-
tons. The owner brought suit to re-
cover damages and, failing before the
justice, had appealed the case. Judge
Chase was angry and when he ordered
the case from the docket said:
The lawyer who consented to ap-
peal this case ought to be thrown from
the window Of the courtroom. Why
didn't he have the case referred to
some Of the honest neighbors for set
tlement?
Because, your honor, retorted the
attorney, getting hot under the collar,
it was our intention not to let honest
people have anything to do with it.
True, this was a neat retort, but it
cost the lawyer just an even $50 for
contempt Of court

A Curious Phenomenon.

A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Red sea at a place
called Nakous, where intermittent I'M
derground sounds have been heard for
an unknown number of centuries. It
is situated at about half a miles dis
lance from the shore, whence a long
reach of sands ascends rapidly to q
height Of 300 feet This reach is about
eighty feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being walled in by low
rocks. The sounds coming up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals
of about an hour. They at first resem-
BILE low murmur, but ere long there
Is heard loud knocking somewhat
like the strokes of bell and which at
the end Of about five minutes becomes
SO strong as to agttate the sand.
The explanation of this curious phe-
'nomenon given by the Arabs is that
there is convent under the ground
here, and that these sounds are those
of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. So they call it Nakous, which
means bell. The Arabs affirm that
the noise so frightens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious. Philosophers attribute the
sound to suppressed volcanic action
probably to the bubbling of gas or va
pors underground. - Newcastle (Eng-

At home stations the British private

Sunday had his shirt come back with
the neck button off or else hanging by
thread. He had spoken to her on the
subject, and she had promised to see to
it, but still the button was not on
properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
Bother the woman! I'll see if /

into the fire.

Gorgeous Women of Abyssinia.

For downright gorgeousness there is
little that can surpass a family party
of Abyssinian women bound from one
village to another in festival time, not
ably about Easter, for the Abyssin-
ians are Christians. A brilliant, bangle
adorned headdress is bound over the
brow and drawn back to fall down the
shoulders. The upper part of the body
is clad in blouse of red and white
literally covered with gold and silver
ornaments that are handed down from
generation to generation. A short skirt
in the same style comes below the
knees, and the legs are incased in bril-
liant colored strips wound tightly
about like putters, often beaded and
spangled. The feet, usually bare, are
variously adorned with toe rings, an
kle bracelets and other ornaments.

It was an awful storm. The snow

and there were no roads to be seen,
nothing but white fields broken here
ard there by black clumps of trees.
Dick HARDWOOD bent his head to the
wind and spoke softly to his horses.
They were laundering sturdily through
the snow, eager for the end Of the
journey and for the comfort of the
warm barn and well filed managers.

over the storm swept night. That was

There was a new tenderness in his
eyes, a new Difference in his attitude
that proclaimed him the lover, not
merely the old companion who took
everything for granted. She held out
her hands with happy smile.

looked up whimsically. II hope the

She gave cry There in the distance
the Westbound train was fast receding.

Calvert apparently took her at her

breakfast table, with his card marked

There was some comment that Calvert
should leave town in the middle Of the

had been any trouble between Miriam
and him, and she was at least spared

For few days she pretended to her

made love deliciously, but his tender
speeches lacked the infection of sin
