They ran together to the cove Of the

his brother come running out of the

threw herself down upon a mossy bank.
between two holly-bushes. and looked
ruefully at her own dripping feet and

Alleyne, still standing in the stream,
glanced down at the graceful pink

Pat Donovan once had a very bad
habit Of going home nearly every
night in the week the worse for
drink. His patient wife tried many
means to cure him, but without sue
cess. AT last she thought of a plan.
On his way home Pat had to pass
through a churchyard, and she got
a neighbor to try and brighten him.
The man arrayed himself like a
ghost, and hid himself in a newly
made grave. As Pat went by he be-
gan to groan terribly.
'Whats the matterY asked the
rishman.

GNo wonder" said Pal, @you're

And with this he took hold Of a
spade that was handy, and began to
fill IN the grave. The ghost was
sooa silenced.-N. Z. Weekly.

RADlUM RAYS HURT GEMS.

Many precious stones are infu-
enced by the action of the rays ema-
mating from radium. A scientist
exposed a colorless diamond from
Borneo to these rays. The stone
was colored a light yellow after eight
days and a decided lemon yellow
after another eight days. On heat
ing the diamond to $50 degrees CEN
tigrade (4S2 degrees Fahrenheit)
the yellow color was diminished, but
it could not be entirely got rid Of
even at a red heat. A colorless Bra
I'll diamond showed no coloration-
A peculiar behavior was shown by
a pale blue sapphire from Ceylon.
After only two hours exposure to
