Animals That Weep.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, q
mule has been seen to CRY from tlre
pains of an injured foot, and camelS,
it is said, shed tears in streams. A
COW sold by its mistress who had
tended it from calfhood wept pitifully
4 young soko ape used to cry from
vexation if Livingstone didn't nurse il
in his arms when it asked him to-
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young ones
slain By hunters. A chimpanzee train
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
fell a-crying, which proved sorrow
though it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats
discovering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears Of grief. A giraffe
which huntsman's rifle had injured
began to cry when approached. Sea
lions often weep over the loss Of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face Of a
dying elephant. And even an orane
outang when deprived Of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance. 4 Harpers

The Trascible Bismarcks.

Herbert Bismarck had none Of his

mothers violent irascibility. She had
the disposition of the Frankish woman

indonlitable will Some winters ago
while working in his wood lot he cut
his foot badly. but, bandasing the
wound roughly and putting snow into

r,,,vsr, ,rd Our public Life.


Without stopping tor statistics, which
have been 50 often collated, It IS
eoeush to say that in the public life OF
This country the lawyer has been the
corsoicuoas factor. The judiciary, Of
cor,se is altogether composed Of mem
bers Of the profession. In executive
Offices and legislative halls the law has
predoroinated and still predominates
ever every business and all other pro-
TesSious. Yet the public life Of this
country has been Of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of Official labor, they have
proved true to their employment, and
it may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
in Official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory Of q general
personal integrity? 1t is no sufficient
explanation to say that although the
great mass Of the profession is cor
rupt, there are a few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life. The truth is
their very prominence in public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein I'M
posed, is evidence which cannot be is-
nored that the profession has ana
maintains 4 character for honesty anu
upricntneSS which attracts Senerai

New md Old Bank Bills.

According to the Washington Post,
quoting cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
everybody doesn't care for new
creenbacks," said a cashier. 1T is a
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. AS
o matter Of fact, nine cashiers out OF
every ten try to get rid Of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink IS not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal Of money. 1t IS
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when IN 4
hurry to relieve a long line of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
is no rush. I'd rather pay out MIL
lion old bills than hundred new

Seven In the Bible.

The number seven plays prominent
part in events in the Bible. The crea-
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest. On the seventh day OF
the seventh month holy observance
was ordained, and the Israelites feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning Of the
food, and the seven years Of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
Of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-eminent wisdom. In short, there IS
no other number which enters into the
Bible so often as seven. No dozbt the
wide popularity of the number and the
superstitions which are connected with
it came from its wide use IN the Bible.

The Machine Worker.

thing Of his early struggles with the

as American college boys know their
German-that is to say, barely at all.

end" he entered q bookstore and asked
for the classic Of the English language.
A wise clerk gave him "The Vicar Of

into German and put his work away
for six weeks. At the end Of that time
he translated his translation back into

comparison between his version and
that Of Goldsmith's original. after

,.eanin~ In Oriental Rugs.

Not only the design but the colors Of
the rugs woven in the orient are full
of significance. They represent nation
al or individual traditions and stand
for virtue, vices and social Importance.
Red was regarded by the Egyptians as
symbolic Of fidelity. Rose tints signify
the highest wisdom and black and in
digo sorrow with the Persians. Pref
erences for duller tones Of color among
the Persians give to al their embroid-
cries and other products Of the loom a
certain richness and dignity. Tyrian
purple is almost universally regarded
as royal Green has been chosen by
the Turk as his gala color, but he
would not approve Of its use in rugs,
where it would be trodden by the feet.
