Sayino a Car Fare.

Here's q pretty tale Of domestic
economy from an English paper. He
had been brought up in the lap OF
luxury and extravagance, and, when
bad times came and he had to go
down to the city and look carefully at
ter his shillings. 1t was his pretty and
tender little wife who helped him and
encouraged him by example in small
savings. One fence. however, he new
er would face. He baked at taking q
bus.
'ft might pass the club you know,
dear, and the fellows at the win
dows--" -..r
One evening, however. he returned
radiant to dinner. Tenderly emorac-
ing his life's partner, he murmured:
'Tve done, 1t darling! AL the way
for three-pence!"
Love and gratitude were in her eyes
as she said:
my own brave boy! Did you mind
It very much?"
With affectionate cheeriness ne
made answer:

old sort the driver. Told me lots OF
stories and was quite chatty. Capital
chap. Gave him a big cigar and
half-a-crown for himself when 1 got

A Paper of Pins.

Pins were introduced in the six
teenth century.
Then they were costly and highly
priced as gifts.
A paper of pins was more accepta-
BILE than bouquet.
An act was passed in 154S making
it illegal to charge more than eight
pence a thousand for metal pins.
Persons of quality often used pins
made of lockwood, bone and silver,
while the poor put up with wooden
skewers.
In those days husbands were often
surprised at the great amount Of mon
ey that went for pins; hence the term
pin money"
Not so many years ago the frugal
American housewife was wont to teach
pin economy by teaching her children
that canny couplet, "See pin and
pick it up, and all the day you'll have
good luck. k."-Philadelphia Record.

A ROLAND For AN OLIvER.-The
manager Of a wild animal show was so
unfortunate as to lose by death the
only lion III his collection. After try
ing in vain to replace the loss he n
nally secured an Irishman to appear
in his exhibitions on all fours In the
lions cage. wrapped in the dead
beasts skin.
This plan worked we'll enough for
while. and the public was fooled. one
night, however, it became necessary,
I'm the course Of one performance, for
the lion to enter the tigers cage. Pat
pleaded strenuously behind the scenes
against being sent into the other man
eaters presence; but his employer
was unyielding. assuring him repeat
edly that the tiger was harmless.
Though well-nigh dead with fear,
Pat, after long and vigorous presua-
sion, at last crawled into the tigers
cage. No sooner was he in the cage
than he lost what little courage he had
left, and lay down, calling in a hoarse
whisper, please don't bite me; amt
no lion: I'm an Irishman."
The tiger appeared thoroughly dis
gusted, and in a moment srowled back

IN THE DARK CORNER.
More or Less Faneiful Story Of South
Carolina Moonshiners.

Crawling up the mountain side, laz-
lily encircling distant bends, dipping
into leafy hollows, winding up and up,
a faint yellow trail that loses itself in
the skies-this is the road that leads
to the dark corner" Of South Caro-
lima.
The dark corner!" A sombre
name for so sunny and beautiful a
land. The mountain peaks dwell in
the clouds and the blue ether; the
glory Of the sun, moon and stars Is
theirs; the atmosphere has the fine
scintillant quality Of golden wines;
the slopes are broad and green, and
they send up great sheaves that hold
yellow, yellow corn-and yet it Is the
dark corner''-dark, because OF
mems deeds.
There is no law in the dark cor
ner" save that Of might. There are
no mills to turn the rich golden grain
into bread, but. hidden away in every
natural covert, is a crude still that
converts the corn into liquid that
might have been hrewed in hell, for
the evil it has done among men.
The fairest and most fertile coun-
ties in the state unite in the dark
corner" and it's only product Is corn
whisky. A goblet Of it looks like a
draught of water from a mountain
spring. When it has aged it holds the
light of the sun that shines through a
mist Of rain, or swirls of snow-the
pale radiance Of the moon when 1t Is
new. To distill it, to sell it, to drink
it, is held by these people as right
dearer than life itself.
But 1t was not always so. The men
of the dark corner are the real
sons of the revolution. In their cab
ins still hang the rusty old muskets
and fiintlocks, with which their sires
brought down the British at COwpens
and Kings Mountain. The story OF
the Revolution Is told among them as
If it happened yesterday. Ask them
about the great war between the
states, and only q few remember to
have seen some soldiers march across
the distant mountains in 81.
But several generations Of distill-
ing and whisky drinking, and no
fighting have made a different set of
men-men so lawless that they are
bound by nothing in heaven or In
earth. And yet, as they have clung to
the old muskets and rifles of their
fighting ancestors. so they have clung
to some of the virtues of their Rev
olutionary forbears. The same man
who will pick you out Of his path with
bullet will give you the best his
cabin affords. He is so honest that

A HERO OF THE BUSH.
The Daring and Devotion Of Brave
Maori Youth.

Courage Is not an attribute peculiar
to the white man. nor Is self sacrifice
the prerogative Of civilization. In Mr..
j. C. Firth's Nation Making" is told
a story as touching in its brave devo-
ton as any tale Of. the Victoria cross.
The incident occurred at Orakan,
where the English soldiers had just
defeated the Maoris. A little party Of
colonial troops, pursuing fugitives,
came upon three natives, two old men
and one young fellow.
The youth, seeing the soldiers. drop
ped on one knee and aimed with his
gun at the advancing party, which
halted a moment, while the old men
ran toward the forest. The old men
had thrown away their firearms in or
der to make escape easier.
The soldiers fired at the youth, but
missed Without discharging his gun
he sprang to his feet and ran on in
advance until he caught up with the
old men once more. Then, facing
about. he presented his gun as before,
but reserved his fire.
The weary old men gradually drew
near cover. Once more the soldiers
fired and missed; once more the gal
liant fellow turned and bounded on.
The old men were close to the forest
when the youth. nearly fainting. again
knelt and took aim, but still did not
fire.
The soldiers shot him as he knelt
and rushed to the forest. but failed to
capture the two fugitives, who, safe
in the dense underbrush, made their
escape.
On their return the soldiers found
the brave young fellow lying dead.
His gun was empty; it had not been
loaded at ALL With 1t he had covered
the retreat Of the old men and secured
their freedom by the loss Of his own
life. No more gallant deed Of heroic
devotion was ever accomplished in any
land.

RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Flows Inland In a Greek Island and
Then Disappears. s.t 80

Flows Inland In a Greek Island and
Then Disappears. s.t -sa
One Of the most curious phenomena
of geography Is found on the SOUTH
ern coast of the island of Cephalonia,
in Greece. 1t is a stream Of salt wa
ter, which for an unknown period has
left the almost tideless sea and flowed
inland with volume sufficient to fur
nish water power to two mills. For
some generations the mills were ope-
rated by understood wheels which
took their power from this little river
Of ocean water. They supplied -four
to the people Of the island until re-
Gently, but now they are dismantled.
owing to the competition Of larger and
better equipped mills. ....
The sea enters the land at four
points where the coast Is practically
on a level with the salt water surface,
says the New York Sun. The four
initial streams unite to form the little
river that flows inland in a broken
TOCky IL
pears in the limestone rock and sinks
into the earth.
This inland flow has continued al
most certainly for several centuries.
1t is far too great for removal by
evaporation, chemical combination or
even physical ABSORPTION by pores or
caverns in the rocks. What becomes
Of the water that is constantly flowing
inland and disappears finally in the
fissures that have opened in the lime
stone?
The question has been the subject
of much study, but no conclusive an
swer has been given. 1t is probable
that here is an underground channel
which carries the water back into the
sea at no great depth below the sur
face. The constant influx Of salt wa
ter at Cephalonia is duplicated, as far
as is known, at no other point Of the
world. -
