A MAN OF LUCK.
The Story Of the Test by the Eastern
Kings Minister.

Nn9
A king once said to a minister, do
you believe In luck?'
81 do" said the minister.
Gan you prove IT.? asked the king.
Eyes, | can"
SO one night he tied up to the cell
ing of a room a bag containing peas
mixed with diamonds and let in two
men, one Of whom believed In luck
and the other In human effort alone.
The one who believed I'm luck quietly
laid himself down on the ground on
his blanket; the other after a time
found the bag and, feeling In the dark
the peas and stones, ate the peas and
threw the diamonds to his companion,
saying. There are the stones for your
idleness."
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came and told each man to
keep what he had found. The man
who believed in trying got the peas
which he had eaten; the other got the
diamonds.
The minister then said, "Sire, there
may. you see, be luck, but 1t II as rare
as peas mixed with diamonds, so let
none hope to live by luck."-An East
ern Fable.

A Wave of Water.

There Is no necessary connection be-
tween the advance of wave and the
forward movement of the water com
posing II. as may be seen by running
the fingers along the keys Of a piano.
An inverted wave travels along. but
the keys merely move up and down.
Similarly wave may often be OBJ

progress Of sea wave is easily per-

Senate Ideas Accepted.

Practically all the administrative

ccnferees. They include a new maxi
mum and minimum feature, a corpo-
ration tax law instead of the inheri-
tance tax adopted by the house, au-
thorization for bond issue to raise
money to build the Panama canal, az
well as numerous other features.
The maximum and minimum provi-
sion prescribes duties in accordance
with the rates named in the dutiable
list until March 81, 1910, when %
per cent. ad valorem is to be added
automatically as the maximum duty.

provision.
The president is empowered also to
abrogate those reciprocity treaties
which can be terminated by diplomat
ic action. 1t is made his duty to give
10 days notice after the bill becomes
a law of his intention to bring those
treaties to an end. All other treaties
which contain no stipulation in regard
