Mean joys their idle clamor smother,
The mask is vanished from the brow;
And from truths sudden, solemn flag un-

Fly an me craven f@alsehoods of the
world
So Song-like Fate itself-is given
To scare the idler thoughts away,

To wake the spirit from the clay!
One with the gods the barG; before him
All things unclean and earthly fly;

The dark fate swoops unharming by;
And while the soother's magic measures

Even as a child. that after pining
For the sweet absent mother, hears
Her voice, and round her neck entwiniag
Young arms. vents all its soul in tears;
So by harsh custom far estranged,
Along the glad and guileless track,
TO childhood's happy home unchanged
The swift song watts the wanderer

Gave Cows for Diamonds

"One of them had found a diamond
of good size; they all had come to see
what l would do with it. What will
you give me for it?' said the finder. I
will give you ten cows, I replied,
and sent the man into the herd to
take his pick. He marked ten of the
best cows as his own. The men had
never dreamed of making such a bar
gain. Ten COWS for a bit of stonel
Off they went again and found dia-
monds every day. They became rich
and l accumulated a good store of
precious stones.
After we had accumulated a large
quantity we decided we would better
send them to London. We made a
belt full of small pockets. in each of
which we placed a diamond. When
the belt was filed my partner girGed
it about his body and started for Cape
Town. He never took off the belt
until he reached London, And it was
in this way the first consignment of
African diamonds reached London"

Sends Souvenirs to All

A Brookline clergyman who is now
on a trip around the world, is signify
ing his remembrance of the folks he
has left at home by sending souvenir
postal cards to every member of his
church and probably to others in
whom he feels interested, says the
New Bedford (Mass.) Standard. One
Of the complaints about the souvenir
card is that 1t is an e~ffectual discour-
ager Of letter writing and a never-fail-
ing excuse for laziness in that direc-
ton. But It has its remarkably good
points also. Not everybody has the
faculty for writing letters and those
VINO have it hate to spare the time
when they are on a sightseeing Jour
ney. Besides, all has been said that
can be said about most places which
the tourist visits and his friends can
better read about them in the maya
zines and the books of travel. In the
case OF a pastor of a large church
like this Brookline clergyman, he
could not be expected with n fair
ness to write to everybody, and If he
tried to write to a few he would incur
the suspicion of needless partiality,
But the souvenir postal is an admir-.
able device for remembering all the
friends n has and also for giving

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
of all the mysteries of the sea is the
fate Of the crew of the ship Marie
Celeste" a more fantastic creation,
apparently, than novelists ever wove.
She left New York in 1887 for Eu-
rope, her personnel being thirteen, in
GLIDING the captains wife and child.
Two weeks later a British bark sight
ed her in the Atlantic, there was no
sign of life on board. A boat was
sent to her, and a most exhaustive
search proved her to be as silent as
the tomb, as deserted as a pest house.
Everything was in its place-even
the boats at the davits. The hull was
unchanged, the cargo untouched. Rig
ging and spars were intact; the sails
were all set. The crews weekly
wash hung above the forecastle; an
awning covered the poop. Binnae,e,

them a little Of the pleasure of the
trip.
To be sure, a good many Of the
cards have no claim to be classed
with the artistic and some of them
are not altogether truthful represen-
tations Of the scenes they are suppos.
ed to depict. But there are many
which are excellent and which are
really worth sending or having. And
1t is probable that there will be many
improvements. We have recently a
Partisan card, evidently a reproduc-
ton of an etching by a Photographic
process, which was a beautiful speci-
men of artistic drawing and which
looks as if it might be accurate in it's
fidelity to the streets and structures
which it represents. Such cards as
this are really delightful possessions.
AS to the Brookline clergyman, he is
an example of how a vast idea Of pleas
ure can be given to a good many PEG
pie in a simple way. Nearly every
body who receives one of his cards
will be interested In the card itself
and everybody will be pleased with
the attention. By far the greater part
of the enjoyment of life comes from
little things and he is wise who, like
the minister in foreign lands, knows
how to arrange for the pleasure of his
friends at home.

Mr.. Williams looked among a mass

to the stranger:

A messenger was dispatched to the

of the holy book, but he returned
empty handed.

has been right-we shall all eventually

promiscuous geological fragments.
Glass has been found to be a cheaper
and lighter building material than
brick. Why not? 1t is made of sand.
which is rather more universal and
abundant than brick clay. Suitable
sand is found all over the United
States, and the American sand is said
to be better for the purpose than that
found in Europe. AS a structural ma
terial, glass has the advantage over
brick, that it can be made in any de-
gree of transparency. 1t will admit
light to see by, and yet can be so
treated that it will not reveal the pro
ceedings Of those who are behind It.
If all the fat houses and tenement
houses of this city were made of glass
1t would at least be possible for land
lords and agents to advertise truth

privacy as is possible in any fat would
not be interfered with, for the struc-
tural material could be sufficiently
clouded to obstruct the direct vision.
Moreover, the adage about throwing
stones would not apply, for structural
glass is as tough as a brick, If not
tougher. Streets at Grenoble, France

crystal glass, and IL consul at that
point declares them to be a success.

Thought She Couldn't Live.

Moravia, N. Y, June 5.-Mr. Benja-
min Wilson, a highly respected resident
Of this place, came very near losing
his wife and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude
knows NO bounds. He says:
my wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 100 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 1870,
is well and feeling stronger every
day.
"She used to have rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone
too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all hat saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

South Africa's first diamonds were
paid for in COWS. The story is told by
Joseph B. Robinson, one Of the
wealthy pioneers of that country. In
1879 he gave eight oxen and a wagon
loaded with sugar and tobacco to a
native in exchange for a twenty-three-
carat gem. THE news spread like
wildfre through the countryside that
a white man vas giving away wagons
and oxen for bits of stone" he says.
Il set all the natives who came to
work to seek for diamonds on n side
of the Vaal river, and l brought up
my own fifty men to hunt for dia-
monds among the bushes and scrub
on the other side of the stream |
had bought the land IN both sides of
the river, so that l was working my
own property. Next morning at sun
rise, when l was having my coffee,
I was startled by a loud halloo-balloo-
ing and looking out l saw the whole
gang of my men rushing toward me
in a state of wild excitement.

Had Read the Scriptures

Uncle Sam came into his own in
an odd manner recently. Deputy Col
lector ]. Castree Williams was at his
desk in the barge office when an elder
ly man, fashionably dressed, entered
and asked for the collector Of the
port, says the New York Mail. The
visitor was referred to Mr.. Williams,
to whom he said:
When l arrived here from Europe
last year l declared 500 worth OF
goods. l swore that was all l had. I
swore falsely. l had $3.50 worth of
goods. l was not flush at the time
and l did not think it any harm to
cheat the government. l want to pay
the difference now"
Mr.. Williams figured that the extra
$50 worth Of goods would have netted
Uncle Sam about $40 and the visitor
pulled out a bill of that denomination
and gave it to the deputy collector.
The latter wanted TO know the mans
name and the ship he came in, but
the stranger refused to give any fur
Their information. AS he was going
away he turned to Mr.. Williams and
