The prx Falls Of Lo5ore.

Southey's description Of Lodore has
given to that charming friend of holi-
day days a reputation which is a lit
tie unfortunate. 1t has brought to its
course worshipers from afar, when
there has not been cupful of water
to perform as much as the meanest of
feats which the poet describes. One
such visitor was an American. He
had seen Niagara again and again. He
read Southey on the wonders Of Lo-
dore and once more visited the vast
cataract of his native land. Then, feel
ing that, after all, Niagara must be
very small potatoes compared with the
falls Of which the poet had sung, he
came to England In quest Of LOdore,
resolved to consecrate his holiday to
the contemplation Of its beauties and
grandeur. He set out the moment he
reached Keswick and long walked and
toiled over rocks and powders. He
could not find the falls. He rested and
asked a native, "Can you direct me to
the falls of Lodore?" why, you're
a-settin' on EN-" was the heartbreak-
ing answer. The falls Of all the adj
jectives were dry!-St. James Gazette.

1t is a mistaken idea that a bird
sings directly to and for the ear of his
mate alone, wooing her with his music.
Most of the finest songs are sung to
other males after the stress of rivalry
is past and each little lady's love Sc
cured. If the motive of the singing
were to attract the female the best
songs would be heard during the first
stage of love making But birds go
very slyly about their mating, and
when male bursts out in song one
can be pretty sure that the demure
wife is very busy over important az
fairs of her own. Every close observer
Of birds must notice that the female is
often Indifferent to the singing of her
mate. AS the love season comes on
bird naturally overfiows into song
1t may be to attract some female near
er, though every bird has a distinct
significant love call, which carries as
far as his song. The moment she ap-
pears upon the scene he has less mu-
steal ways of counting her. Should he
go on singing some more strenuous
sutton would surely get ahead Of him.
He will fight for her, feed her, coax
her with low, guarding notes. But if
he is singing loud and clear 1t is In tri-
umph. She is won-is his and, like
all truly loving mates, gives him his
freedom to go back to the springs Of
his being for rest and inspiration

Our Flight Through Space.

Vega is the star toward which our
sun is ceaselessly rushing through the
infinite regions of space, carrying the
earth and all of the other planets with
him. Though we are pursuing thif
journey at the speed Of eleven miles
a second, SO that at the end of each
day we are almost 100000 miles near
er the star than we were at the be
ginning, yet at least 100000 years
will elapse before we overtake an6
drift past this great sun. Were the
life Of man on earth not SO short how
wonderfully would he see the face OF
the heavens change as he passed
through our universe Of stars. The
Great Dipper, the Northern Cross and
even the Milky Way itself would ap
pear to take new forms as he passed
on and viewed them from a different
direction, and as he drew near the
blue star Vega, a sun enormously
larger and hotter than our own, Il
would shine out with extraordinary
brilliancy

Wireless Money Lendinq.

One Of the most interesting types on
the American track is the professional
money lender. Money lending Is alb
solutely forbidden, and so the entire
transaction must be conducted sub
rosa, but If a person who is on goes
broke and he has some article Of jew.
elry Of value with him 1t is easy for
him to realize money on It
The lender Is an irreproachably
dressed person who sits on the grand
stand with the rest of the crowd and Is
known In his true colors only to the
habitues of the track. A man who
wants some capital makes an unobtru-
sive sign to him and twirls a ring he
may be wearing at the time Shortly
afterward both will proceed to a res
taurant, where, for the benefit of on
lockers, they will greet each other as
ordinary acquaintance. The exchange
Is then made over the drink they order;
the loan broker has the ring and the
bettor his capital. If the latter cashes
In on the next race he will return the
money and the agreed upon premium
and will receive back his ring.-From
''The People and the Ponies," by G. F..
Peters, In Bohemian.

PLEASANT JAILS.
The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Are
Treated.


The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Are
Treated.
When l paid visit to the CetinJe
Jail found that all the prisoners vert
out for walk For two hours every
morning and again for two hours In
the afternoon they are allowed to wan
der about on the green before the pris-
on. There is nothing. indeed. but their
own sense of honor to prevent their
going farther afleid unless they be
murderers, in which case they wear
chains. The authorities provide them
with housing, of course, and with
ciOthes-not uniform-als with a fire
at which to cook their food, and they
give them fourpehce day each to
buy 1t. The prisoners cater for them
selves. Two of them go to the market
every morning to buy provisions for
the day They are not required to work
unless they choose, and they are classi-
fed not according to the seriousness
Of their offense, but according to their
standard of life and general behavior.
If man of education and refinement
is sent to prison, care is taken to lodge
him, so far as possible, In room
where the other occupants belong to
his own rank in life. found on one
bed beautiful Counterpart and pill
low covered with delicate embroidery.
Eyes, poor fellow, that's his wife's
handiwork," the governor of the jail
remarked casually as we passed. In
one prison life was made so easy and
pleasant that on leaving it ventured
to remark that to be there was no pun
ishment, it seemed to me-
mo punishment the official who
was with me exclaimed in surprise.
But think of the disgrace of being
here Is not that In itself punishment
enough?"
1 had and still have doubts on the
subject, for had just seen a CHEEKY
old fellow who, although the time for
which he was sentenced had expired,
stoutly refused to quit the prison.

RESPECT YOUR WORK.
Don't Go at It compIaininsIy, but Put
Your Hart in IL

Don't Go at It compIaininsly, but Put
Your Heart in It.
1t ought not to be necessary to ask
a man if he likes his work. The ra-
dance of his face should tell that.
His very buoyancy and pride in his
work the spirit Of unbounded enthu-
siasm and zest, ought to show that
He ought to be so in love with his
work that he would find his greatest
delight In 1t, and this inward joy
should light up his whole being.
A test of the quality of the individ-
ual is the spirit in which he does his
work. If he goes to it grudgingly, like
slave under the lash; If he feels the
drudgery in 1t, if his enthusiasm and
love for It do not lift 1t out Of COM
monness and make it delight instead
of bore, he win never make a very
great place for himself In the world.
The man who feels his life yoke
CALLING him, who does not understand
why the bread and butter question
could not have been solved by one
great creative act instead of every
thing he gets from nature through
hard work, the man who does not see
great beneficent design and superb
necessity in the principle that every
one should earn his own living, has
got a wrong view Of life and viii
never get the splendid results out OF
his vocation which were intended for
him.
The man who does not look upon his
vocation as great unfolding, enlarg-
ing, cultivating, educative, elevating
process, the results Of which could
come in no other possible way, has
made very poor guess at life's riddle.
Multitudes Of people do not half re-
spect their work. They look upon It
as disagreeable necessity for pro-
viding bread and butter, clothing and
Ehelter-as unavoidable drudgery In
stead of as a great man builder, a
great life university for the develop
ment of manhood and womanhood.
They do not see the divinity In the
spur of necessity which compels man
to develop the best thing in him, to
unfold his possibilities by his struggle
to attain his ambition, to conquer the
enemies of his prosperity and bis hap
piness. They cannot see the curse in
the unearned dollar, which takes the
spur out of the motive. Work to them
is sheer drudgery-an unmitigated evil
They cannot understand why the Gre
ator did not put bread ready made on
trees. They cannot see that the best
thing in man has ever been developed
by the necessity of labor. They do
not see the stamina, the grit, the no
bility and the manhood In being forced
to conquer what they get.
What pitiable sight to see one OF
Gods noblemen, made to hold up his
head and to be a king, to be cheerful
and happy and to radiate power, going
about whining and complaining of his
work. apologizing for what he is do
ing and deploring the fact that he
should have to work at all!-Success

Sempie frightened visibly at the sug-

reached home he opened the door con-
tidently. His face went CHASTITY white

He turned to see if Bradley had heard.
Bradley stood there with smile

Bradley. ITS a German invention to

CHANGED THE TYPES.
The Story Of vensefuI Wife and q
Bible Error.

The Story OF VengefuI Wife and a
Bible Error.
In the famous library of Wolfenbut-
tel, in Hesse, is an old Bible which Is
greatly treasured 1t appears that in
that passage in Genesis where God
told Eve that Adam shall be her mas
ter and shall rule over her the German
translation is, "Und er soil dein herr
sein." Herr" which means master,
does not occur In this Bible, but instead
there appears the word "narr," which
means fool
The error was caused by quarrel
between the printer and his wife in the
year 1880. The wife was vengeful,
and in the silent watches of the night
she entered the room where her hus-
band had been setting type and mali
ciously changed ''herr" to MARI" The
printer was arrested after the book
had been printed and the mistake dis
covered, but his apprentice testified
that he saw the wife steal into the
composing room and alter the word.
The woman was imprisoned for bias
phemy and died in prison.
Orders were given that all the copies
Of the edition should be destroyed.
This was done, with the exception OF
the one copy in the Wolfenbuttel H.
brary.

White Africans.

The Berbers. who, although African.
are as white as Europeans, are the
Oldest white race on record, says an
explorer. They are supposed to have
come from the south Of Europe in an
Gent days, the Dundee Advertiser
says, and, although their language and
customs are entirely different from
ours and their religion Mohammedan,
they are probably closely akin by de-
scent Blue eyes and fair hair are
not at all uncommon among the Ber
bers, and many of them have rosy
cheeks and features so like our own
that were they dressed in British fash
ion they would easily pass as natives
Of the British isles.

could penetrate
For a moment Fanshaw weakened.
He had a f1eeting vision of these two
absurdly old fashioned figures among
the ultra smart crowd at the Hillbrook.
Then his eyes met Esmeralda's, 50
a-sparkle with anticipation, and he In
wardly called himself a coward and a
snob. Whatever the outward symbol
of dress might be, there was not girl
at Hillbrook who could compare with
this princess of curds and cream.
The night of the dance was clear
and cool. A breeze swept across up
land and meadow. Even the loqua-
cious Mrs. Farley seemed to feel the
summer silence and on the way from
the farm to Hillbrook spoke hardly a
word. Esmeralda, too, was quiet.
From the folds of her all enshrouding
black bombazine cloak her neck rose
white and slender. Her cheeks were
family flushed, her eyes like stars.
Never, thought Fanshaw, had she look
ed more beautiful
Some people on the broad hotel
veranda paused curiously to watch the
arrival of HOLSTER Fanshaw and his
guests.
The moment that passed while Mrs.
Farley and Esmeralda removed their
wraps was a miserable one for him.
The world was full of snobs. Suppose
his dairy divinity should be sighted,
patronized.
"Jove," cried a man at Fanshaw's ell
bow, 81 thought that Miss Van Rem
syn was at Newport
Fanshaw stared. There, coming to-
ward him, was princess Of curds and
cream-the cream of white, glistening
satin, the curds of billowing lace.
"Oh," he groaned beneath his breath,

Yes" said Miss Van Remsyn, nod
ding, dull enough to prefer the socie-
ty Of poor little country girl-dull
enough to be chivalrous, to ignore her
inexperience, her ridiculous attempts
at dress!"
"Dull enough to be madly in love
with her!" cried Fanshaw in half saw
age hopelessness.
Il shouldn't call that dull" murmur-
ed Miss Van Remsyn, with a humor-
GUS upward glance.
do you mean that there'd be a
ghost of a chance for me?" stammered
Fanshaw, suddenly joyful
"Oh, HOLSTER, are you quite. quite

The stone age, bronze age and iron
age SO overlap one another it Is Inn
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used In fact America was in
the stone age so late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago. 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t is
more than likely that men gained their
first information concerning the prop
critics of iron through experiments with
the pieces Of It that had fallen from
the sky in the shape Of meteors.-New
