A Love Story.

A teacher offered to her class a
prize for the best short love story.
Here is one Of the results: "a poor
man fell in love with a lady whose
mother was a rich toy dealer. The
poor man could not marry the rich
lady because he had no money. A
villain then offered him SO if he
would become a drunkard. The
poor man needed the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said, No, | will not become a
drunkard, even for great riches
On the way home he found bag of
gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was splendid wedding.

A Welsh legend.

In Wales there is a legend of
Irish smugglers who arrived at
Llanddona many years ago in a
boat without rudder or oars. They
were looked upon, according to the
Irish custom of sending malefac-
tors to a sea doom in this plight, as
outlaws. However, they had been
allowed to land, and a spring of
water bursting forth in the sand at
the place was taken as a sign of
their right to a refuge. But they
i'll repaid the Welsh. The men
lived by smuggling, the women by
witchcraft. 1t was not possible to
overcome the smugglers in a fray,
for each carried about with him
black fly tied in a knot of his ker-
chief, and the moment the knot
was undone the fly flew at the eyes
of the opponents and blinded them.
If the Llanddona witches attended
a market and bid for anything no
one ventured to bid against them.

COATED WITH FOX FIRE.
Owls That Show a Phosphorescent
Glow In the Dark.

We are told by some students
there is a species Of owl that has a
phosphorescent glow in the dark
and that it is a rare bird.
There may be such bird, but a
careful investigation on the part of
number Of persons who have made
such things a careful study has re-
vealed the fact that certain owls
and even bats and other creatures
that are known to roost In old hol-
low trees that are in a certain stage
of decay, producing that peculiar
phosphorescent condition so often
witnessed, and coming in contact
with the matter that makes the
glow, the feathers or outer coating
of the creatures become saturated
with the luminous matter and on
damp nights give forth brilliant
glow, such as is often seen on old
stumps, decaying logs and in some
localities on lodges of limestone

writer has known persons to be bad

many as fox fire. 1t is more fire.
quently seen during the summer
months, during or shortly after a
shower The brilliancv of the glow
will depend much on the location,
the temperature, and sometimes
much is due to the persons imagi-
nation.
This same glow is often seen on
small animals and a number Of in
sects. The glowworms are quite
common in various sections Of the
world, and in some localities insects
have a brilliant glow coming from
beneath their wings. The frefies
OF lightning bugs are the most com
mon in the United States.
In some countries certain vegeta-
BILE growths are known to give forth
such a glow, and it has been limited
that some of the crops harvested
and stored in barns have the same
properties and under certain condi-
lions produce not only the glow,
but actual flame, resulting in what
is known as spontaneous combus-
ton, destroying the barns and con-
tents.-Chicago Record-Herald. "a

Two Standards.

One Of the strangest illustrations
of the ups and downs of fortune
comes from Paris. A rich Partisan
banker became reduced through
unlucky investments to the sum of
10000 francs. That amount was
poverty to him, and, overwhelmed
by his loss and the hopelessness of
the situation, he committed suicide.
The 10000 francs then fell to his
brother, who had been for years a
pauper, estranged from his family.
But to him such a sum represented
incredible riches, and his reason
was overthrow. In moment Of
delirium he jumped into the Seine
and was drowned.

MUSICAL GLASSES.
The Queer Looking "Armonica" That
Franklin Devised.


Books have been written about
the many sided Franklin. His ON
nivorous and practical mind seemed
ready to attack any new branch of
science with the same earnestness.
Music did not escape him, and he
actually invented a musical instru-
ment that was sufficiently unique to
arouse the interest of some Of the
great masters.
How long musical glasses" have
been used for their special purposes
no one really knows. There is an
account Of an Irish performer who
played upon the musical glasses in
his native country as early as 1743.
When Chuck went to England
april, 1746) there is an account of
his playing at the little Haymarket
theater, which runs as follows:
'tHe played a concerto on twenty
six drinking glasses, tuned with
spring water, accompanied by the
whole band, being a new instrument
Of his own invention, upon which he
performs whatever may be done
upon the violin or harpsichord. +"
In Goldsmith's ''Vicar of Wake
field" the musical glasses" are
mentioned as being fashionable.
When Franklin was in London
(1762) he saw performer upon the
glasses, who played them by wet
ting his fingers and wiping them
over the brims. Seeking to i'm
prove and systematic this in
strument and at the same time to
extend its usefulness by means OF
the application of mechanical appli-
ances, Franklin devised an unusual
looking instrument which was de,
scribed thus in Groves Dictionary
ESThe bells or basins Of glass were
ranged or strung on an iron spindle
| Gong rod). The largest and deer
toned ones were at the left anc
gradually rose in pitch according
to the usual scale. The lower edges
Of the basins were dipped in {
trough of water. The spindle o.
rod was made to revolve before The
performer, SO that all the glass
bowls were kept continually goinE
around and around by means of {
treadle connected with the spindle
and operated by the foot of the per
former. The sound was produced
by applying the fingers to the we
edges of the bowls as they revolved
Franklin called the instrument thu
armonica.
/ Mozart wrote music for this IN
usual musical machine, and it be
came very popular in parts of Ger
many The composer Nauman1
wrote sonatas for it, and at on
time it was used in some of thu
court orchestras. Beethoven wrote
a piece Of twenty-four measures fol
the instrument. In Germany the
instrument was called the harmon
lea. It's tone was often irritating

Windmills.

Holland is known to all the
world as the land of windmills, but
very few people know that the
windmill did not belong to Europe
in the first place, but originated
among the Saracens. There is, it is
believed, no instance Of windmill
being used in Europe until the
time of the crusades. In typical
