his face becoming as overcast as their

he cried, what said last. / can make

Then to his puzzled host: Don't you

But yours are dollars-dollars. Don't
you see the difference will be nearly
four thousand-dollars? That will be
a nice profit for US, with what the farm
yields. I will buy part of the valley,
or the whole of it If you like, or we will
live on it together"
Mr.. Bristow was choking.
You and Lois may fix that up be-

problem is too complicated for me- But
I'm glad the valley isn't to be sold.

Removing the shutters.

An uptown man who may be desig-
mated as Mr. Blank was asked by his
wife the other day to aid in removing
inside shutters from windows through
out the house so that they could be
washed. Being in hurry, he asked
his better half to defer the matter un-
til his return from the office. 'I'll do
it myself" was her retort. spon't,"
was Mr.. BIS eaunsel as he departed;
s'women don't understand such work"
This of course only more firmly decid-
ed Mrs. Blank to go ahead, and when
Blank returned that night he found
the shutters down. His wife was nurs-
ing several lacerated fingers, but she
wore triumphant air. "The screw
driver slipped once or twice." she ex-
planned in response to his inquiring
glance at her bandaged digits, "screw-
driver sllppeds' repeated Mr.. B. in a
dazed tone. "Great snakes, womanI
You don't mean to say you unscrewed
all the shutter hinges?" "Of course
said his wife complacently. What
other way could l get the shutters
DOWN." For answer Rlank lifted a
shutter and pulled the pin out of one
or the hinges, showing that the taking
down Of each shutter only involved the
removal of two pins. When he figured
that there We're ten pairs or shutters

A Buttered Book.

How the Rev. Mr.. Johnston, Scot
tish minister and the author of numer-
Gus books, succeeded in getting one of
his works reviewed by Alexander Rus
sci, the distinguished editor of the
Scotsman, is told by the writer of "Fa-
nous Editors"
4 member Of Mr.. Johnston's congre-
CATION was an old and valued servant
in Mr.. Russeps family. When the
preacher published his new book he
asked this member to bring it under
the notice OF her master, with the re-
quest to review 1t in the columns of
the Scotsman. Glad to be Of service
to her master, the good woman lost no
time in making her wish known to the
celebrated editor and next morning
placed "The Gospel Roll' beside his
breakfast cup.
When at breakfast, Mr.. Russell took
up the book and remarked, with mer-
ry twinkle in his eye, Helen. this is an
awful dry roll which you have given
me this morning."
Perhaps IL Is, sir" the servant quick
ly replied, "but you can butter it weel
on both Sides"
Next morning an excellent review ap-
peared.

Originally costing something more
than $4,000, the lord mayors coach, still
used in the annual procession, has
probably had more money expended
upon it than any horse drawn vehicle
in the world. 1t is something like 100
years old, and In that time more than
100000 has been spent in refurnishing
it for the sole occasion when it is made
use of each year. A more modern
coach could be. had for the sum OF hye
years repairs, but a new coach would
never seem the same to the London
public who line the Strand on the occa-
sion Of the November parade. 1t is
probable that the lord mayor Of CEN
tury hence will ride In the same equi-
page, though, like the Irishman's knife,
it has been repaired so often that prac-
tically nothing of the original coach re-
mains.

In the High sierra..

Coming down from the high Sierras
into the Yosemite valley one passes
from almost arctic cold to the warmth
of the late spring, and the difference in
temperature is easily traceable by the
character of the foliage. On the high
peaks no green thing fourishes. Grad
ually stunted pines and tamaracks APP
pear, and still lower the maple and
laurel are just beginning to unfold
their leaves, and then in half days
journey the wild flowers come. Hun
dreds and hundreds Of them of all
shapes and colors are found here, and
as you approach the rim of the wonder
full Yosemite the air is heavy laden
with the scent Of the azaleas, and the
trail is lined with wild lilac, wild cher
ry and dogwood-a perfect riot Of flow-

THE DANDELlON.

IL Adapts Itself to All Soils and CIf-
mates of the Earth.
The dandelion belongs to the largest
oldest and most widely diffused order
Of plants. While other orders Of plants
have died out and become mere fossil
remains in the rocks, this order has
survived the geological changes Of
many different periods on account of
It's power of adapting itself to those
changes. And these changes in their
turn have only made it better suited
for all the varied soils and climates of
the earth at the present day.
We find members Of this order in
every part of the globe, In places as
far apart from each other as they
can be. 1t is the prevailing and DOM
inant order Of vegetable life, the most
highly finished and the most success
full family Of plants And the dande-
lion is one of the most perfect forms
belonging to it.
1t is the head and crown of the vege-
table kingdom, as man is the head and
crown of the animal creation, and 1t is
curious how this highest type Of plant
is always found only where man, the
highest type Of animal life, Is found
and where he dwells and cultivates the
soil. 1t is never found apart from
him. 1t follows him wherever he goes
to America, Australia and New Zea-
land-and there In the new home 1t be-
comes a silent but eloquent reminder
of the dear old land he may never see
again.-Exchange

In his "Die Anfaenge der Kunst"
("The Beginnings of Art'D DR.. E.
Crosse investigates primitive art and
its sociological aspects. He shows how
in the dance there was social evolution.
The dance was among savages a sig
nificance and value which civilized
races do not appreciate. The dance
originally might not have been for the
pleasure it gave. That came later. AT
first the dance may have been one of
the preparatfves TOR war or propitia-

gether and became a social factor. 1t
must have gone, too, hand in hand, or,
rather, foot by foot, with music. At
first such music was simply rhythmical.
Possibly all the early hunting folks

Ing an art, but it was a motive power.
1t must have helped to bring about per-
sonal decoration, and then came the
first faint glimmer of an aesthetic con-
ception.

CLIMATE AND SPEECH.
Soft Language and Tropical Weather
Seem to Go Together.


Gutturals predominate in Norway
and Russia, whereas far to the south
ward in sunny Italy there is profu-
sion OF such euphonious names as Pa
lermo, Verona, Campobello, etc. Even
in the British isles, covering so few de-
grees of latitude, there is a marked
difference between the "bur" of the
highlander and the soft speech of the
native Of southern England.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based
upon the contrast Of the stiffness which
usually pervades southern lands with
the stormy inQuietude of northern
countries. Cloudless skies for months
at a time characterize the climates Of
Italy, while n armament entirely free
from clouds is rare in Norway.
1t requires, of course, greater effort
to be hearaein the regions which are
swept by winds and storms than in
still southern latitudes, and to be
heard distinctly amid the noise and
confusion of the elements words must
be used which contain many conso-
nants.
Among the inhabitants of more trop-
ical chimes the tendency is toward
soft and musical cadence, and travel
ers relate that In regions In South
America. such as Peru and Venezuela,
where atmospheric disturbances are
rare, the natives almost chant the
phrases Of alutation.-London Satur-

CarIyIe,a niunIness,

Heughton Orchard Milnesl to task In
regard to the proposed pension for
Lord Tennyson. Richard Mines"
said Carlyle, taking his pipe out of his
mouth, "when are We gaun to get that
pension for Alfred TennysonT Mines
tried to explain that there were diff
culties in the way and that possibly
his constituents, who knew nothing
about Tennyson, would accuse him of
being concerned in a job were he to
succeed in getting the desired pension
for the poet. Richard Milnes." replied

This is a good custom. When a

good for her baby to lie asleep on the
ground, as 1t might injure itself by
rolling, or. If 1t awoke, it might crawl

this and line it with soft, clean leaves
