Stones In Queer Places.

A round stone, is found in the
joints of certain kinds of bamboo.
This is called "tabasheer" and Is
supposed to be deposited from the
siliceous juices of the cone. Anoth-
er curiosity of this kind is the CO.
coanut stone, which is found in
the endossperm of the cocoanut in
Java and other East Indian islands,
1t is pure carbonate of lime and is:
sometimes round, sometimes ear
shaped, while the appearance is that
of a white pearl without much lus-
ter. Some of these stones are as:
large as cherries and as hard as
feldspar or opal. They are rarely
found and are regarded by the orr
entails as precious stones, the lower
classes using them as charms
against diseases and evil spirits.
Stones are also sometimes found in
the pomegranate and in other East
India fruits.-Chicago News.

Thread and Needle Trees.

Did you ever hear of the thread
and needle tree? Rather a handy
tree to have in the garden, don't
you think, especially when there are
boys in the house, with buttons con-
tinually coming off their clothes?
This strange tree grows in nearly
all tropical countries. At the tip of
the leaf there is a sharp thorn,
which is the needle. If you grasp
it firmly and pull it out a long
thread of fiber comes with it, and
there you are-with a needle al
ready threaded for your sewing. The
fiber thread is very strong, and the
Me1icans use it for weaving a
coarse kind of cloth as well as for
sewing. The leaves of the tree they
use for roofing their houses instead
of tiles, and fine roof they make
with them, strong and waterproof
Just the sort of roof that is need
ed in a country where the rain pours
down in sheets.

A Lucky Hairdresser.

Duplan, the hairdresser to Napo-
leon, made himself so indispensa-
BILE to the unfortunate Josephine
and became so intimately acquaint-
ed with the emperors affairs that
he was retained in the service OF
the imperial family when Josephine
was superseded by Marie Louise.
He cared for the hair Of both the
emperor and empress, being paid
1000 francs a year for service to
the former and 5000 for arranging
the coiffures Of the latter. Ulti-
mately he was the recipient OF
about 10000 francs a year, his de-
mands being constantly increased
because of Napoleon's restriction in
refusing to allow the tonsorial art
ist to treat the hair of any other
customer.

TWE9ARE COINS.
Both -tese Piec Belong to the Time
NAPOLEON.

Napoleon.
y .sts have interesting
oh of search in two coins that
be to the transition period be-
+ the French republic and the
d empire.
le of these is an extremely rare
that was struck off just at the
.oment of the assumption of the
reins of empire by Napoleon I'LL.
Only the die for the diverse or
head of new imperial coin had
been completed, and by some ac-
cident, or possibly by mischievous
design, coin was struck off that
bore the head of Napoleon ILL.,,
Emperor on one side and
'French Republic" on the other.
This contradictory coin is of inter-
est to others than numismatists,
for it symbolizes in striking way
the sudden changes in French poll
tics.
With the other coin a singular
story is connected. While Louis
Napoleon was prince president,
just before he made himself emper-
or, a decree was issued ordering a
five franc piece to be coined bear
ing his image.
The dies were made, and one coin
was struck off as sample and sent
to the prince president for ap-
proval. But some time passed be-
fore he examined it. When at last
he gave it his attention he was an
noyed to find that he had been rep
resented on the coin with love
lock, or hooked lock Of hair on the
temple, which he actually did wear
at that period, but which he
thought unsuitable to SO dignifed
and permanent a representation Of
himself as an ef1igy on coin.
The prince president sent for the
director of the mint and ordered
him to remove the love lock. Then
he found that his silence with re-
gard to the piece had been taken
for approval and that the stamping
of the coins had begun.
The work was stopped and the
image deprived of its undignifed
lock. But the twenty-three coins
that had already been struck of
were not destroyed and are now re-
garded as of great value.-Chicago
Record Herald.

The Chinese Sun and Moon.

In China the sun and moon are
brother and sister. The moon is the
elder brother, who looks after his
rather silly sister, the sun. One day
in China, so the legend runs, the
sun asked the moon if she couldn't
60 out at night. The moon answer
ed very sternly: mo. You are a
young lady, and it would be i'm
proper for you to 60 out after
dark"
Then the sun said, "But the peo-
pie keep looking at me when 1 60
out in the daytime"
So the moon told her to take the
golden needles that she wore in her
hair and stick them into the eyes of
people when they stared at her.
This is the reason why no one can
look at the sun without pain.

Acrobatic Baby.

Three-year-old May had a pen
chant for cutting everything in
sight when she could get a'pair of
scissors. One day, being left alone
with her curly headed baby broth
er, she promptly cut every curl
from the back of his head.
When the nurse discovered the
damage she said:
ooh, May! How dare you cut
babv's curls off?
"He cut them hisself."
Glow did he reach the back of
his head"
"He stooded on the STOOL" -
Philadelphia Ledger.

.arded his sausages at l shilling per

placed eightpence on his card.
No. l then placed notice in his
window saying that sausages under
1 shilling per pound could not be
guaranteed.
No. 9's response to this was the
announcement, 81 have supplied
sausages to the king"
This might have been regarded
as the last word, but it wasn't. In

morning appeared az extra large

Jared Wilkins possessed no edu-
cation and was even unable to read.
Harold, his grandson of seven years,
learned of this for the first time
when he asked him to read story
in his new book.
Cant you read?" he asked in
surprise.
'No, sonny"
"Why can't you, grandpaw
Because" the old gentleman re-
piled impressively, '1 was q bad
boy and wouldn't 60 to school"
"Were you a real bad boy"

A BACHELOR DINNER.
II Began With Medicated Soup and
Ended With Olive Tarts.

Endeo win OliSe iartS.
One often reads of the tremblings|
and anxieties which accompany the
first dinner parties of the young
wife and housekeeper. Mr.. Gerald
Gordon in "Life In the Mofussil"
gives a bit of experience which
shows that a youthful bachelor
makes his debut as an entertainer
with similar feelings of trepidation.
Feeling almost as nervous as a girl
for the success of his initial social
enterprise in India. he entered the
dining room with his guests:
1.-The table looked very well. In
the center was large citron melon,
with the thick rind cut into orna-
mental shapes. The flowers were
prettily arranged. When [ viewed
the dining room before the arrival
of the guests I felt well contented.
"The critical moment was when
We sat down. was prey to a hun
dred and one anxicties. These fears
were not allayed by seeing my right
hand neighbor only making show
of eating his soup. Then | saw the
colonel take one spoonful and order
the servant 20 take it away. My
own turn arriving, ! found, to my
horror, strong flavor of castor oil
in the concoction. On looking round
the table it was clear that every
one else had discovered it.
"The consumah, standing by the
sideboard, was totally unconscious
that anything was wrong, and l had
to tell him twice to remove the
soup.
'Later the horrible mystery was
explained. 1t was the custom OF
the native cooks to strain soup
through a cloth, and a clean one
was provided every day for the pur-
pose. In my establishment we burn
castor oil in the lamps. The duty
of straining the soup that day was
given to a wretched undertook, who
took a cloth which had been used
for cleaning the lamps. =
''This was irving, but every one
tried to make the best Of matters.
The dinner went smoothly after
this until dessert. Among the
dishes was one of greengages with
lot of fluffy cream on top. l felt
rather proud of this delicacy. The
colonel tasted it.
Goodness! Olives he shouted.
"Alas, it was too true At the
time / had given out a bottle of
greengages I had also given one of
fine Spanish olives. Now, for the
first time, l noticed the greengages
lying innocently in cut glass dish
where the olives should have been.
"This was too much for the
guests power of self restraint, and
they laughed loudly and long. 1t was
the best way to get over it, but l
did not soon hear the, last of those
olive tarts."

Sir Henry Irving was frequently a
victim to the interjections Of gallery

night he had reached that dramatic
moment in the banquet scene when In
dreadful fear he bids the ghost Of
Banquo to vanish:
Hence, horrible shadow.
Unreal mockery, hence!
he exclaimed and, shuddering convul.
sively, dropped to his knees, covering
his face with his robe. AS the ghost
