Only the optimist is able to take
comfcrt ont of the daily conditions of
life. The man who views only the
dark side of things cannot expect TO
be an apostle of the light, and the
man whose teeth ere set on edge with
the natural sourness of his disposition
cannot expect to be an exponent Of
the swsetnes of life. To look on the
bright side of things. TO where the
sun of hope eternal shines, is worth
more to a man, his wife aud children,
to his business associates and oil who
come within the length Of his cable
tow than a farm. This habit can lie
cultivated, aud when ID is really made
native il is worth liberal education.

Indy Jane Grey.

Lady Jane Grey was the most learn
ed child Of which history has any rec
ord. Before she was nine years old
she wrote a beautiful hand and was
able to play on many different instru-
ments. She could speak several Ian
guages. both ancient and modern, be-
sides being well grounded in philOso-
ply. When other children were play
ing she would amuse herself by read
ing writings Of the philosopher Plato In
the original Greek. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause she had led very lonely life
when she was child. as her mother
and father were often away at court
leaving her to the care of her govern
ess and her schoolmasters at the
gloomy family place called ERADICATE,
The big square house was built on the
edge Of great forest surrounded by
acres OF uninhabited land. There were
very few books and not any newspa-
pers at the castle, and Lady Jane Grey
had no rlaymates, as her governess
would not allow her to play with the
servants children, and there were no
others suitable for her companions
within miles.

The wiIe. of nea.t. of Prey.

The panther on the plains OF Pata
gonia gets as near herd Of guanacos
as If can. then lies down behind a bush
on It's back. 1t puts one paw up In the
air. then another. then the third ana
fourth and after bit all four at once,
That seems curious 10 the guanacoS
and they come close TO investigate. Up
Jumps the panther and lights on the
nearest ones back and breaks It's neck.
A fox up in Nova Scotia comes down
to the bay of Fundy and goes jumping
along the beach a couple of rods and
back again. rising on its hind legs at
each about face and waving its big
tail in the air. The little flock Of four
or FIVE Canada geese out on the water
begin TO wonder what can be the mat
ter with the fox. They swim up into
the shallow water to investigate, when
In dashes the fox and grabs one by
the neck. The men have taken advah-
tage Of this trick and have trained dogs
to do as the fox does For lack Of a
dog men themselves have ambled about
on their hands ana knees to attract the

The Origin of WindfaII.

The origin Of the expression wind
fall" which Is used when one wishes
10 refer to a streak OF good luck, dates
back to the time OF William the Con-
dueror. At that time 1t was a criminal
offense to cut timber In the British for
ests without royal consent All that
could be gathered for fuel or other
purposes was such limbs as the wind
should happen TO break and cast to the
ground. On this account the peasants
hailed a great wlndstorm as a bless
Ing, because 1t was apt to cast enough
Of "windfalls" for winter firewood.
From this old time forestry custom
comes the modern application OF the
expression. At one time It was decreed
that only such limbs and whole trees
as should fall during the three summer
months could be used as frewood, but
the unjustness Of the act was so plain
ly apparent that no attempt was ever
made TO enforce 1t.

list and dyer have got through with the
rabbit skin il may be "sealskin," a

transformation takes place in the shops
which sell felt to hatmakers, carpet
weavers and felt manufacturers, and
Paris and London are the principal
renters for this industry. In those
rites millions of rabbit skins are dress

chased soon after they have been strip

cur,ou, r,cts About the Eye,

A very curious fact Is the impossible
ity Of moving your eye while examin-
Ing the reflection of that organ In
mirror. 1t Is really the most movable
part of the face. Yet II you hold your
head fixed and try to move your eye
while watching 1t you cannot do 1t
even the one-thousandth Of an inch. OF
course If you look at the reflection of
the nose or any other part Of your face
your eye must move 10 see it. But the
strange thing Is that the moment you
endeavor to perceive the motion the
eye Is fixed. This Is one Of the reasons
why persons expression as seen by
himself in glass Is quite different
from what It Is when seen by Others.
