THE FLOWER OF HOPE

The rain ceased at last, but the
steady downpour seemed to have
washed the color out of everything, and
1t was a drab landscape that | looked
upon as | plodded through the mire by
the side of the river. The little waves,
as usual, were tumbling over n an
other in the swift-running water, but
the white tassels of the bird cherries
that lined he banks now hung limp
and mud-splashed. Turning aside. from
this depressing sight l began to climb
the path through the pine wood, and
leaving the beaten track came upon
beauty. Trailing in long festoons
down a steep bank were masses of the
lesser periwinkle, the flower of hope.
Sheltered by the trees overhead, the
pretty mauve stars smiled serenely
from their nest of shining green leaves.
Clinging to the branch of a tree with
n hand, | was atle to pick a bunch
of the flowers with the other. But a
man suddenly appearing from higher
up almost trod upon my head. Star
tied, Islet go the branch and slipped
ANONYMOUSLY down the bank. The
man leapt down by my side, and began
to pick up my scattered treasures, say
ing in German: Pardon, | did not see
you" At first | thought he had been
drinking; his eyes were bloodshot, and
he had a wild, disordered air. Then l
recognized him as the b-shful young
peasant who had stood in the back
ground while | talked some days ago
with Anton, the old working jeweler,
in his shop. | had taken a brooch to
be mended, and Anton was turning or
polishing a gold ring on a wheel, but
had ceased working to attend to me.
Seeing the eyes of the peasant fixed
on the ring, l had guessed hat it was
being done for him, and had said that
| would wait, but the jeweler had in
sisted that there was no hurry for
what he was doing. Afterwards | had
heard that the peasant Johann was
shortly to be married to Liza, a girl
at one of the farms.
Now | noticed hat he held his hat in
his hand, and had filled it with peri
wrinkles. you, too, have been flower
gathering" l said.
Eyes, l have plucked them to make
a wreath for Liza"
What a pretty idea; how pleased
she will be-" | said, thinking that he
meant for her wedding.
Then, to my dismay, tears rolled
down the mans cheeks, and he began
to sob like a child, and as | inwardly
called myself a fool, he explained:
"Ah, wAo but the good God can tell
what pleases Liza now; we were to
have been married by the priest to-
morrow. and she will be buried instead,
and here when a maid dies we give
her a wreath of sinngruen."
And I call-it the flower of hope" I
said, sadly.
Perhaps the man knew how sorry l
felt for him, for he stammered out: |
IF the gracious lady would be 50 good
as to make the wreath for Liza herself,
why. Liza would be proua and happy
IL She could know It..

RURAL NORWAY IS HONEST
incidents Which Are Illustrative of
One of It's Marked Char
acteristics.

Norwegian peasants are said to be
the most honest people in the world.
Several years ago an English tourist.
In going from Trondjhem to Chris
tlanla, lost Is or 20 sovereigns on the
road. Upon his arrival at Christiania
ne wrote Of his loss to the county
judges and in few days received
every cent of the lost sovereigns. The
peasants had picked up the coins
dropped along the road and had hand
ed them over to the magistrates.
Frugality and thrift are national
characteristics of the Norwegians
The social conditions are peculiar to
the country. There is no privileged
nobility or aristocracy of wealth. Con.
sequently there is no sharply drawn
line or distinction between the classes.
The death rate in Norway is the
smallest of any nation in the world.
The homes Of the well-to-do meas
ants are made up of half dozen. and
sometimes more, separate buildings.
Practically all the necessities of life
are manufactured at home. There
are vast storerooms full of linens and
iaces, etc., elegantly curtained beds
and priceless old furniture, but the
floors are always bare

THE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known to Sailors Before tho
Twelfth Century-Indispens
Adjunct to Navigation.

Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi
nese, discovered, many centuries ago,
that kind Of iron ore possessed very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common Ian
guage, lodestone, and it is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. 1t was found that
If bit of lodestone were placed in
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid it would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed a north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means Of an ore
that Is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence
1t is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power of
the lodestone but it is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. BY that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that if
an iron or steel needle were strOked
on a lOdeStone 1t would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight of
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the happy fortune of Ital-
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to British waters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps

The Worlds Athletes.

Olympic games" in which the win

that made victories for greater Greece
In those days are precisely the same
as those which win the laurels for
Sheridan, Sherring and Asty today.
That is to say. it is the pioneer who
has in him the spirit of the champion
and the tradition of overcoming. 1t

hope. the eagerness, the elasticity that
makes great athletes.

Rural Water Supply.

When great sums Of money are be-.
ing expended by city governments that
the inhabitants OF towns may have q
sanitary water supply it seems strange
that the supply in rural towns should
receive little or no attention This lat
ter population may seem relatively in
significant, but according to the last
census it comprises about 40,000,00Q
souls. This means that the 10000, 900
people are drinking the water most
available without thought of it's san
itary condition. These various sources
OF supply, whether wells, springs, or
small streams, are similarly unreliable
for furnishing drinking water. The
statistics of mortality in the country
are very indefinite, but even these
show that the rural population is not
as free from illness as it should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate is lower than the urban
death rate, yet the lowering in the
country has not been as great as in the
city. An examination of typhoid sta
tlstics shows that the death rate of 9th,
er diseases is generally lower in the
country than in the city, but the prev
alence Of typhoid is almost equal to
II not greater in the rural districts
than In the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the ru-
raj typhoid rate to be ten times great.

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL.
This Is lsu Advice of an Old Cutler
to Those Who Have Their
Own Razors.

THE Old English Cutler" arrived
in New York the other day after an
absence of nine years, in which time
he has walked $4,000 miles between
the Pacific and Atlantic, honing ra-
zors and grinding scissors.

RAPID GROWING.

From the Denver Post:
Too rapid growth caused the death
Thursday Of Berthold Weinhagen, Jr.
son Of Milwaukee millionaire. who
passed away at the Metropole hotel
The lad was only IA years Of age. but
had attained the stature Of feet !
inch. During the past year he had
grown two feet one inch in height
This rapid growth injured his health
rendering it impossible for him to as
simulate sufficient food to properly
nourish his body and he practically
starved to death.
The boy was on his way to New
Zealand for the benefit Of his health
accompanied by his father, mother and
sister. Young Weinhagen became
worse and the family was forced to
stop here: They arrived four days
ago.
The case is very unusual one and
puzzled a number of the best physi.
clans in town who were called to at
tend the case. Instances of this ma.
ture are on record where illness was
caused by rapid growth but never one
where the body grew so rapidly that
the stomach was unable to assirnilate
sufficient food to feed it.
Berthold Weinhagen, ST., is one Of
the wealthiest men in Milwaukee. He
was a pioneer civil engineer of thai
city and, amassed his fortune lavine

GRAIN MEN WANT
TO RAISE THE RATE

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Board Of trade
commission men are agitating the pro-
Of brokerage for executing deals in
grain A number Of them have started
movement to make the rate one
quarter of cent per bushel instead
Of one-eighth as at present. They de-
clare that the rates for putting through
transactions in coffee, cotton and
stocks are much higher than those
charged for grain and believe that they
should, in a measure, be equalized.
The matter has been placed in the
hands Of a committee. but before
definite action can be taken the mat
ter must be submitted to a. vote Of a
full membership Of the board of trade.
