lt Made the Thing Harmonious and
Complete All Around.
In the early days of travelling by
stagecoach across the Rocky noun
tains the trip was likely to be relieved
Of monotony by incidents Of no Ordi-
nary occurrence. But the fatigue Of
the journey was apt to wear upon the
nerves Of the weak and the tmid.
Sometimes the passengers became SO
worn out as to lead to q suspicion of
their sanity. The Right Rev. d. s.
futile in his "Reminiscences Of Mis-
sionary Bishop" describes IN instance
In point.
One forenoon the coach rolled into
Denver. and the six horses came praDc-
ing up to the Office Of Wells, Fargo &
Co. A large crowd was assembled, as
the incoming and the outgoing Of the
daily coaches were the great events
for the town.
At the stop the only passenger quick
~ threw open the coach door. leaped
to the ground, ran hurriedly across the
street and, turning q handspring.
stood on his head with his heels up
against a supporting wall.
Several men followed him, quite sure
that here was another passenger Graz
ed by the long. sleepless ride. One
said to him in a tone Of sympathy.
"Why. cap'n, what's the matter?"
Slowly coming to q right side up
posture. the man answered.: swell, my
friend. Ill tell you what 1t Is. This
standing on my head is the only posi-
ton which I haven't been in during

We frequently hear the expression

time Of Jacob. We are told in Jewish
literature that previous to his time
men sneezed but once in q lifetime
and that was the end Of them, for the
shock slew them. Jacob prevailed in
prayer and had the fatality set aside
on the condition that among all the
nations a sneeze should be hallOwed
by the words God bless your In the
'Jataka," one Of the books Of the
Buddhist Scriptures. We read that the
expression was. MAY the blessed Lord

4 chinese sTRATAeEM.
Legend Of How . Projseteo invasion
Was Averted.

Legend Of How . Projseteo Invasieu
Was Averted.
Rajah Suran, who was one Of the
earliest rulers Of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
tiers. It Is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called q council Of his
generals and msndarins. and upon the
advice Of q crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew Of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital When 1t arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story Is
that 1t did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long 1t had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corrobOratiOn Of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which, they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as mans arm when
they started. You can see" they
concluded. that China must be q very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
bis projected invasion.

Queer Goldfish.

Beautiful and most Interesting Of all
goldfish IS native Of Japan, and 1t is
noted for the beauty Of its tail and the
abnormal length Of its fins. The tail
resembles a delicate veil, and the fins
are developed to such an extent that il
Is impossible f.: the fish to make rapid
progress in the water. 1t Is therefore
solely "n account Of its beauty that 1t
is priced and because In this respect 1t
differs widely from other varieties of
goldfish, such is the telescope fish,"
the eyes Of which bulge out Of the
head in Hiost unsightly fashion; the
celestial eyed fish," which is also un-
comedy because its eyes are bullet
shaped and are ever turned skyward,
and the egg fish," which is SO called
because its body is somewhat amor
phous. but resembles an egg more
than anything else.

the space between the two horns being
represented by deep ravine. The
course runs round the horseshoe. the
start being ut the end Of one horn and
the finish at the end Of the other. The
result Of this Is that the equestrians
who ON other courses cOntrive to see

process Of riding across while the race

wood. They must elect which they
will see aud remain there. On the
other hand. the course IS very easy to
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are CON-
paratively modern. but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days Of William

hunt as In existence. In 1900, how
ever, the then Duke Of Richmond
made q new course. which Is practical
~ the present one. In 1901 the course
was completed. and In order to cele-
brate this u regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance Of
the hunt and some officers Of the Sus-
sex militia aud yeOmanry, and prizes
to the value Of about 1000 were put
up. This meant a good sum In those
days. This was the first GOOdwOod
