Power Of Natures Beauty.

Have you never. felt the marvellous
power Of beauty in nature? If not you
have missed one Of the most exquisite
Joys in life, says Orison SWEET Marden
in Success Magazine. I was once go
ing through the Yosemite valley, and
after riding 100 miles in stagecoach
over rough mountain roads ! was so
completely exhausted that it did not
seem as though could keep my seat
while we Travelled over the ten more
miles which would bring us to our des-
tination. But on looking down from
the top Of the mountain caught a
glimpse of the celebrated Yosemite
falls and tie surrounding scenery just
as the sun broke through the clouds,
and there was revealed a picture OF
such rare beauty and marvellous pic
turesaueness that every particle OF ia
tigue, brain fag and muscle WEAKNESS
departed in an instant. Ny whole soul
thrilled with a winged sense Of sub
Unity, grandeur and beauty which !
had never experienced before and
which 1 can never forget I felt a
spiritual uplift which brought tears
Of Joy to my eyes.

A DELAYED Execution.

An eighteenth century execution on
Remington common was stopped for
a time owing to a strange cause. On
Aug. 1e, 1853, two days before the
date Of the execution, a heavy fog
came over. London, accompanied by
thunder and lightning and torrents OF
rain. These conditions lasted for near
" forty-eight hours, and many people
believed that the last day had arrived.
When the time fixed for the execution
arrived the assembled crowd cried
shame on the sheriff for hanging a
man when the world was coming to an
erd. AS he persisted in his prepara-
tons they burst through the barriers
and stopped the proceedings, shout
ing that the culprit might as well wait
a few minutes, when the grand sum-
mons would come to all. The sheriff
had to obtain the assistance of force
Of soldiers before the execution could
be carried out

PUTTING the Owl TO Use.

There is choice old recipe, IN which
the owl figures, 'to make any one
that sleepeth answer to whatsoever
thou ask" given in, sPhysick For the
Poor" published in London In 1851.
It says that you are to ''take the heart
Of an owl and his left leg and put
that upon the breast Of one that
sleepeth, and they shall reveal what
soerer thou shalt ask them"
The Hindus, however, declare that
the flesh or blood Of an owl will
make a person insane who eats or
drinks it. On this account men who
are devoured by jealousy Of q rival or
hatred Of an enemy come furdvely to
the market and purchase an owl In
silence they carry it home and secretly
prepare a decoctou, which sn accom-
phce viii put into the food OF drink Of

AainzI Life on Venus.

ssThere are many physical reasons
for thinking that if any other planet
besides the earth is inhabited it is
probably Venus" says Professor Pick
ering. .'It is about the same size as
the earth, ard its density is about the
same The force Of gravity upon its
surface is only slightly less than that
on the ea,th. The temperature on
Venus is probably the same as in our
OWN tropics, and the dense atmos-
phere may be Of composition such
as enve!oped the earth when in the
carboniferous period. AS to the ex-
istence of intelligent life, the question
is still open. If it is ever established
that the planet Venus is inhabited it
viii be less surprising than if the same
were proved conclusively Of any other
planet, owing to the similarity in
many respects Of Venus and the
earth"

a Cotton Legend.

Cotton was the theme of one Of the
most fabulous nature stories on its
first introduction into Europe. Trav-
elers related that in Tartary there
grew a shrub and that when its ripe
fruit was cut open within was "a lyttle
Beaste in fesche, in bone and blode
as though it were lyttle Lamb with
outer wolfe" The flesh Of this "veSe-
table lamb" was eaten, ran the story,
ana the wool made into cloth. The
basis Of the legend is the way IN which
the cotton pod ripens and bursts, show
ing the white fluffy raw cotton, which
closely resembles wool Raw cotton IS
still called "cotton WOOL"
