Cleo's eye sparkled at the ingenu-

''Yes, its the French hem"

declared sitting down beside her.
In the afternoon there was a longer

work was resumed on the French hem

show her how lovely the shadows

the regular programme for each day OF
CleO'S stay.

to Hugh one night, that Cleo Won't
finish that French hem in time to get
much good out of the skirt this season
Il am very anxious for her to finish
it," he replied grayely. land yet l am
afraid for the time to come too"
"Why?" asked his mother in sur
prise
He was silent f5r a moment, then he
looked at her with shining eyes.

CLEO" said Mrs Lacey later that
evening as they walked together in the
old fashioned garden, why are you Sc

Cleo locked quickly at the older wo

assured her that Hugh had confided in
her.
"Oh." she said. with little gasp
Weren't you ever so happy in the

THE EYEBROWS.
Some supcrstitions and odd Beliefs
Concerning Them.

Notwithstanding their iuconspicuous-
ness. the eyebrows have been the cen
ter of certain amount Of lore and
even superstition. But the chief point
at which stTIirtitto-i Or iorHiore Is
found In this Connection is in those
eases, not infrequent, where the eye
brows meet Everywhere this meeting
of the brows has been held to be omi-
nous in one way or another.
In some of our southern counties
folks say that 1t is good to have such
brows, for the pOSSeSsOr will never
have trouble; but this is a rare inter
pretation. As rule, the meeting
brows are held to be of evil omen.
Readers of Charles KingSley's "TwO
Years Ago" will remember Mrs Har-
vey's face, which had been handsome
and was still clever; but the eye
brows," continues Kingsley. ''crrshe.l
together downward dOove her nose
and, rising high at the outer corners,
Indicated as surely as the restless
down drop eye 4 character self con
scious, furtive capable of great incon-
sistencies, possibly of great deceits"
In the Icelandic Sagas a 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 Mr.. Barring
Gould, they are a sign that 4 man is a
vampire. In horror there is little to
choose between vampires ANA were
wolves. a fanciful reason which has
been given for these superstitions is
that the meeting brows resemble a but
terdy, "the familiar type of 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 sup
posed to have in special degree the
power 10 enchantment, and as illiterate
folk have Il great dread Of such mys-
teriOus powers, especially as they may
be supposed to be directed against the
well being or happiness of their chill
dren it need hardly be said that a man
whose brOws meet is not a popular
person. Even now there are parts Of
England where a belief in witchcraft
still fingers, and not so very long ago
in Northumberland there were people
who regarded a person whose eyebrows
met as a witch or warlock.
In the north of AberdeensEire, ac-
cording to the late Rev. Walter Gregor.
who was 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 rs unlucky 10 be
met aS first fit" while other folk went
a good deal further and regarded the
ur!ucky possessor Of CLOSE broos" as
one foredoomed to be hanged.-London

til after several. expressive and re-
mindinG looks from his mother, he
blurted out:
Would you care for row on the
river"
Cleo hid "a smile at the perfunctory
tone and manner, but she said gra-
ciously that she would and as they
went through the meadows and came
out in sight of the river she remarked
that il was hard to believe 1t was the
same stream that flowed through the
city where size lived.
1T is narrow, dirty and sluggish
there" She said. "as different from this
broad. beautiful stream as-well, as
the city is from the country"
His stiffness relaxed a little He
loved the country and the river When
he reached the landing and was push
ing off the rowboat, he said reluctant
ly:
do You care 10 rowY
"No." sla replied II am not much
of an oarsman, aud-well I'm afraid l
am too lazy 10 enjoy 1t. I'd rather you'd
have all the hard work"
He began to acknowledge that his
mother was right in her estimate Of
this sensible girl. His long, even
strokes carried them swiftly upstream.
Her admiration Of the scenery was so
genuine that he felt pride in showing
her still further beauties of the To-
cality
There is n little stream that branch
es off from this one that goes through
a fine stretch of woods" he remarked.
ITS quite sh2llow. but l guess we can
make it,.
But when they had gone some dis
tance up the littlc tributary he found
II would be necessary to'pole He stood
in the bow and worked vigorously for
some moments. At last, after mighty
shove, the boat shot from the sandy
bottom into deeper water. There was
a splash and q little cry Of amused dis
may. Quickly turning. he saw that he
had sent a coodly supply Of water into
the boat ana that Cleo was shaking out
her saturated dress skirt.

There have ieel twenty-five dynas-
ties ia China. the royal history of this
country being better aScertained than
that Of any other which reaches back
to ancient times. With some few
breaks the Chinese have had regular
succession of Soycreigns since Fuhhi,
who, the Chinese say reigned from b.
G. 2S12 to 2137 According to Chinese
tradition Fuhhi was no less II person
age than thv Noah of the Scriptures
who after lea. ing his ark on Mount
Ararat, Travelled east and founded the
Chinese cupirr. Chinese history as
serts that seyy,al Of their early mon
archs ruled FOR over Il century each,
one rei-nlng over China for 10 years,
another for 1O2. another for 100. and
so on. Ii is considered probable 10y
historians that these figures represent
rather dyna~tics than the reg.s of in
dividual sovercignS China has had in
almost direct descent, with no more
than two or three breaks in the history
of the royal family. thirty three soy
ereigns, ninety-two emperors, two Tar
tar rulers. siy Mogul emperors and
three emprcS>cS.

At one OF the English country inns
Hook and Mathews once got up mock
quarrel before a large company. The
wit and the comedian each appealed
most earnestly 10 the sympathy of the
company. who. with the true British
prediction for nything in the shape
of Il row, eagerly espOused the side OF
one or other Of the champions. The
contest proceeded, and Hooks cool in
vectives. we are told, grew more and
more cutting and the gesticulations Of
Mathews more wild and eXtravagant.
Blows followed, and the partisans, full
OF gin and valor, soon followed the eX-
ample Of their principals. \ general
melee succeeded. Candles were knocked
out, tables and chairs overthrOwn, the
glasses "sparkled on the boards" and
In the midst Of the confusion, just in
time to avoid the arrival of the police
and the impressive deuOuement, the
promoters of the riot, unOhServed, eff
fected their escape, leaving their eXcit-
able adherents TO compute at leisure
the amount of damage done to their
persons and property and to explain, if
possible, to a magistrate in the morn
ing the cause and object of the combat.

at a time when the hcathcns Of south

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 aud max

same, and 50 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
holy name. and St Valentines day Of

Bees 20 out all day gathering honey,
and work at night in the hive, build
Ing their combs as perfectly as if an
electric light shone there all the time.
"Why do they prefer to work in the
dark" Is often asked Every one
knows that honey IS n liquid with no
solid glgar in it, After standing II
gradually assumes crystalline ap-
pearance or granulates and ultimately
becomes a solid mass. Honey has
been eNperimentally inciosed In well
corkcd TASKS. some SOf which We're
kept In perfect darkness, while the
others were exposed to the light The
result was that the portion exposed
to the light soon crystalliZed, while
tnat kept in the dark remained un-
changed. Hence we see why the bees
are 50 careful TO obscure the glass
windows which are placed In their
hives. The existence of the young
depends on the liquidity of the sac
charinc food presented 10 them, and If
light We're allowed access to this 1t
would in all probability prove fatal
to the inmates OF the hive.
