cuitous and leisurely but by hardly less certain route.
 There are other great workers, emt- nent men who resort to apparently needed stimulants. They have nor fallen and they may not fall There are conviviaI drinkers who may never be common drunkards, but no man when he once sets out knows whether he will become one or not. There may be something in his mental or phys fcal makeup which will save him, but it is given to no man to know in time whether he possesses that mys- terious saving something. When the end comes. either in respected old age or in the gutter he will know. In the first case the Knowledge will be with out profit or advantage and in the other case it will have come too late.
 It is not strength of character, tor the strongest men have fallen. It Is no splendid physical condition which has ever been described. It is only known that there is no safe place or time after the start is made.

St. Valentine.

St. Valentine. presbyter and martyr, unlike many saints who are specially remembered. did nothing which could have suggested the manner in which his day is celebrated. It was his for tune to suffer martyrdom (he was beaten with club and then beheaded at a time when the heathens of south ern Europe were accustomed to observe the return of spring The quick eyes of those dependent upon sunlight for warmth learned to note and welcome every indication of the approaching season. They watched the birds, and when they saw them mating and mak- ing love they were minded to do the same, and so strong was the habit that. as with Christmas day, the good fathers did not attempt to root out the custom. but to connect it with some molly name. and St. Valentines day of martyrdom fitted very nearly to that time

THE BOOM FRANC.
Ons of the Most Peculiar Weapons of
 War Ever Invented.

The boomerang is an instrument used both In war and n tue chase by the aborigines of Australia It is usually about two feet iu length. made of hard wood bent into Il curve resembling an obtuse angle, flat on one side and rounded OH the other The method of using this curious weapon is very De culiar The throWer takes it in one hand, holding the bent side downward. and hurls il forward as if to ht some object twenty or twenty five yards iD advance Instead of continuing to go directly forward ill accordance with the NcWtoiljan law t slowly aScends ill the afr, %Ail.iing round and round. describing beautiful and gcometrical curved line till it reaches q considera ble height, when it begins to retro grade, finally sweeping over the head of the projector. striking the object for which it WaS intended, which is al ways la the rear.
 An English officer has this to say of the singular weapon: The boomerang is one of the most curious weapons of war ever invented, at least by q bar barous people, nor is 1t easy to compre bend by what law of projectiles it is made to take the singular directions that it frequently does. I have seen a native throw one so as to make it go forty or fifty yards horizontally and not more than four feet from the ground It would then suddenly dart Into the air to the height of fifty or sixty yards, describe a very consider able curve and finally fall at his feet. In all cases, no matter how thrown, the boomerang keeps turning with great rapidity, like as if on a pivot, making loud, whizzing noise all the while"

THE EYEBROWS.
Some Expectations and odd Beliefs
 Concerning Them.

Concerning Them.
 Notwithstanding their inconspicuous- ness, the eyebrows have been the cen ter of a certain amount of lore and even superstition But the chief point at which superstition or folklore is found ill this correction is in those cases, not nfre4uent, where the eye brows meet Everywhere this meeting of tue brows has been held to be oIai nous in one way or another.
 Tn some of our southern counties folks say that it is good to have such brOWS, for the posseSsor will never have trouble: but this s a rare inter pretation. As I rule the meeting broWs are held to be of evil omen. Readers of Charles kingsley's Two Years Ago" Hill remember Mrs. liar vey's face, which Lad been handsome and was still clever; but the eye broWS." continues Kingsley, "crushed together downward above her nose aud rising high Ut the outer corners, indicated as surely as the restless down drop eye Il character self con
  sfstencies, possibly of great decets.'
 In the Iceland.c sagas man with meeting eyebrows is said to be one of the dreadful creatures known as were wolves, and the same belief has been traced in Denmark and Germany: while in Greece, says Mir. Barring Gould, they are l sign that a man is a vampire In horror there is little to choose between vampires and were wolves. X fancful reason which has been given for these superstitions is that the meeting brows resemble a but terhy. the familiar type of a soul ready to fly off and enter some other body" This seems tolerably far fetched.
 In Hungary gypsy women and men whose eyebrows grow together are SUD- posed to have ill special degree the power to enclantment, and as illiterate folk have a great dread of such mys- teriOuS powers. especially as they may be supposed to be directed against the well being or happiness of their chil- dren, it need hardly be said that a man whose broWs meet is not q popular person. Even how there are parts of England where belief in witchcraft still fingers. and not so very long ago in Northumberland there were people who regarded q person whose eyebrows met as q witch or warlock.
 In the north of Aberdeenshire ac- cordng to the late Rev. Walter Gregor, who was d very competent authority on Scottish lore and customs. a "closebroot man'-that is, one whose eyebrows meet-was regarded as being immoral. Elsewhere in Scotland one with "close broos' was regarded as unlucky to be met as first fit while other folk went good deal further and regarded the unlucky possessor of ''close broos" as one foredoomeu to be han%ed.-London Globe

HIGHLAND CHOPPERS.
How They Lived In the Middle of the
 Last Century.

Last Century.
 In the middle of the last century the crofters In the west highlands seldom saw money and never needed 1t. They erected for themselves huts mostly built of turf, tloored with clay and roofed with heather. They kept few cattle. goats and sheep, which grazed at will on the open hillside and provided them with milk and wool They lived q truly simple life, and their needs were few. They grew oats for their own food and potatoes, which formed their other chief article of diet. Tea was an unknown lux ury It was by no means uncommon to find persons who had never tasted 1t. Wheaten bread had never been seen in those parts. Their clothes were made from the tleeces of their own sheep, spun and woven by the good wives during the long winter nights and dyed from the simple dyes made from the lichens which grew on the stems of trees or on the powders of rock in the neighborhood. The whisky they drank came from secret stills on the hillside and had never paid excise The nearest parish church was often many miles away. No school was there for the children Very few of them, indeed, could read or write. still fewer had ever heard word of English spoken. Their spirs itllal needs. however. were not neg lected, for they received constant yis- its from the men,, as they were call ed, who had constituted themselves the spiritual guides of their neiGhhorhood -BlackWooI' 's Magazine
