THE THREE ANGELS.
A Bit of Hungarian Folklore Illus

A Bit of Hungarian Folklore Illus
trating German Firmness.
Here is a bit of Hungarian folklore:
After the Lord had decided to expel
Adam and Eve from paradise he sent
Gabriel, the Hungarian angel, to carry
out his order. Now, from the eating of
the fruit of the forbidden tree Adam
and Eve had become quite shrewd, and
they We're endeavoring to get out of
the fix as best they could, so they pre-
pared big feast, received Gabriel
with the utmost kindness and sought
to win his heart by lot of affection
ate words. They succeeded. 1t grieved
Gabriel to expel these kind hosts from
their home He therefore returned to
the Lord with the request that some
body else be charged with this I'M
pleasant mission.
Thereupon the Lord sent Florian, the
Roumanian angel, because the Lord
knew F'lorian to be more obedient and
less magnanimous. Adam and Eve
were just dining when Florian, hat and
large cane in hand, stepped in. He sa-
luted in most humble manner and
then told why he had come. Have
you it in writing?" inquired Adam Sc
verely. NO." stammered the visitor,
and. frightened, he returned to his
heavenly abode.
Then the Lord sent Michael, the Ger
man angel. Adam and Eve at once set
% work preparing even richer meal
than had been served Gabriel, think
ing they might induce Michael to be
lenient. So the very best things were
served, and there was no scarcity Of
beer and good sausages. Michael ate
until he could hardly even wheeze.
Then he arose and, drawing his sword,
said. "Now you get out Of this!' Ad-
am and Eve tried all their little tricks
to stay. They appealed to his mercy
and implored him to consider how
nicely they had treated him. But all in
vain. Michael remained firm, merely
saying, "It must be-" And he drove
them out.-Chicago News.

FORTUNES MADE IN RUBBER
King Of the Belgians Is Waxing Rich
in Central Africa-Carnegie's
Prophecy True.

The prophecy made by Andrew Car
negie that the coming men Of power
would be rubber millionaires is al
ready being fulfilled. The late Henry
NJ. Stanley left fortune, accumulated
in spite of his disregard for wealth,
consisting largely Of his interests in
rubber plantations in central Africa.
Stanley's dream was of building a great
empire, but IL never occurred to him
to build 1t for himself, else his estate
would have been infinitely larger than
that of Cecil Rhodes. But the king of
Belgium is a man of different mold
from Stanley, and this royal rubber
merchant is working innumerable
thousands Of acres Of trees in the land
where Stanley meant to erect a state.
and amassing a fortune which will be
simply stupendous in its figures. His
enterprise is at the cost of whole
races Of nations, and of the trees, but
such ruthless destruction is neither
wise nor necessary, and civilized pow
ers will yet put limit to such inhu-
mainly. Carnegie is right. There are
millions being made, and yet to be
made, in rubber, but it will be by the
preservation and cultivation OF both
the rubber trees and the people who
plant and care for them

SMALL FISH KILL A HORSE.
Finny Creatures Of South American
Waters Stay Equine and At

An illustration in Youth OF the dan
ger that sometimes lies in small fishes
is the case of a fish which is common
in the rivers Of South America, the
serrasalmo II is probably the most
fearless Of all fishes, very small, of pc
culiar shape, with powerful jaws, SO
strong and sharp that they can bite
piece out Of an animal as neatly as
though 1t had been done with pair OF
scissors. In some places it is impos-
sible to fish, as the moment a fish is
hooked thousands of these vicious
creatures flock to the spot and tear 1t
to pieces before it can be brought TO
the surface. The fish apparently does
not know what fear is, and has In
more than one instance jeopardiZed
human life, if not destroyed it A
traveller N crossing a river on horse
back was attacked by these fishes, the
blood from his horses legs attracting
them in such multitudes that the anil

rider leaped from its back and swan
to shallow water surrounded by the
throng. Though protected by his
clothing he was bleeding from a hun

water been near he would have shared
the fate Of his horse.

GEMS AND WEATHER AGREE
Up-to-Date Girl Inaugurates Fashion
Of Having Jewels and Fore
cast Match.

The up-to-date girl no longer wears
her rings to match her costumes, but
to match the weather, says the n. Y.
Sun. During the hot summer she dis
carded her diamonds and rubies for
topazes, moonstones and turquoises.
She declared the more ardent stones
made her feel warmer than the
weather. With the nippy fall days she
puts on her emeralds and sapphires.
On a bright, sunny day she wears
pearls, but never on a gloomy day,
for she says pearls are nothing but
tears anyway. and the combination Of
pearls and clouds would be too de-
pressing to endure. On rainy days
she wears opals because they promise
brightness and clear days to come.
Her rubies, garnets and diamonds she
saves for winter weather. The dia-
mond is q good cold weather stone,
even IL it is somewhat stately. because
it Is constantly giving out flashes OF
brilliant color Amethysts are always
suggestive Of thick clothes, and should
be worn Just as summer is changing
into fall.

LOVE AS A COSMETIC.

Love is the greatest beautiher. The
reason is easy to see. Love itself is
beautiful, and, II we give unselfish love
a Judgment with US, 1t Is constantly
exerting a moulding influence upon US.
Love always appears at its best.
When 1t goes wooing, 1t always
chooses the most beconing attire and
the most captivating adornments. So
love, when 1t gets possession Of hui
man body, proceeds to mould the face
Of that body into the most attractive
form, for love always seeks to clothe
itself In the most attractive garb.
There n no masseur like love to
work miracles In q homely face. There
Is no facial specialist who can begin
to do as much to make q plain young
man or woman attractive, to over
come deformity or hide blemishes, as
the Magician Love can do.-Christian

DOG FINDS RICHES IN GEMS
Canine Gets Nixsd Up In Rapids and
L. Disentangled with Pearls
Clinging to Him.

Two French Canadians and q blue
nose" citizen Of New Brunswick, who
have been hunting along Lobster stream
In Maine for three weeks with snail
success, returned to Bangor, carrying
half pint Of pearls, all Of them taken
from Lobster rapids one rainy morn
ing in q manner described below. Up
to the present time these three have all
been citizens Of unimpeached veracity.
They had taken q setter dog to camp
to help them in shooting partridges,
but they found 50 many fieas upon him
that he was compelled to stay outside
in disgrace. One morning about q
week ago they heard the dog yelping for
help from the stream On going to his
assistance they discovered that he was
attached to some object under water
which threatened TO drown him. II re-
Quired a strong pull to free the dog
from the rocks. On taking him to camp
the party discovered that his long, red
hair was thickly spattered with the
shells Of mussels, which had closed upon
his coat so tightly that he could not gel
free. On opening the shells in order tc
free them from the hair. they uncovered
nearly so large pearls, all Of good color
and fairly free from blemishes. At the
lowest estimate the citizens think that
the pearls they have secured will sell
for $500, enough to pay for hunting trips
for several years.

RETURN DAY IN DELAWARE.
Old Election Custom Observed ut .
County seat-Populaee Assem-
bles and Hazes Losers.

Sussex county Delaware, on the day
after election, as for q century past Il
has done on the Thursday following q
big election, gathered At the county
seat to celebrate the return day. The
actual reading Of the returns from the
courthouse steps, the hazing OF losers
and the congratulations Of the winners
have passed with the birth Of tele-
graph, telephone and newspapers, but
with true Delaware exclusiveness the
county elings to. its unique post-elee-
ton festival. Every man, woman and
child in lower Delaware who could
scour up a conveyance was there. says
holiday attire and the horses were
gaudg with flags and bunting. Thou
sands picnicked in the courthouse
square and did everything. from talk
politics to swapping horses. The
negro. who forms a large percentage
Of the county's population, was out in
force. He had money-he always has
had since Addicks was in politics-and
he was willing to barter his money for
the cup that cheers. Frequently the col
ored brother started out to hunt trou-
BILE and always got it from the nearest
citizen. Sometimes his ardor was cooled
with a fist, at other times q club or an
iron hitching weight was used. The
remedy was always effective. The pre-
vailing trend Of conversation was that
votes had brought higher figure than
ever before and that immediate pros
perity was assured.
