Wonders of = Sook.

There is perhaps no greater wonder
than book. By the help of little
figures upon spins or paper mon have
been able to transmit their thoughts
through thousands Of years The
names and shapes Of things, the deeds
and sorrows that have occurred as far
back as Adam, have been made known
to US. Even those invisible and alb
stract thoughts which have no shape
or substance. but which inspired the
writer and have since inspired others,
are all put down in the little letters
and made eternal. The songs Of David,
the speculations Of Plato, the visions
Of Homer. have by these means been
handed down faithfully for many CEN
turies and distributed among man
kind. If there were no books OUT
knowledge would almost be confined
to the limit Of sight and bearing. All
that we could not see or hear would
be to US like the inhabitants Of the
planet Saturn-a mere matter Of idle
conjecture-Barry Cornwall.

+. The Building Of Homes.

Dwelling houses may be constructed
Of anything from paper to concrete
When built of paper they consist Of
ground plans, front elevations and
mortgages. When they progress to
something more substantial they do
not resemble in any way the front ele-
ration or the ground plan Of the paper
stage and are therefore disappointing
in these particulars. The mortgage,
however, always comes up to expecta-
tons. The houses Of the elect may
be distinguished by the buffers pan
try, the middle classes by the recep-
ton hall and those Of the hoi polloi by
the parlor Houses are useful to eat
in, sleep in, bathe in, dress in, hide In,
be seen in, die in, store junk in. In
sure and burn down. Dignity In
houses IS typifed by a parking in
closed English country place, romance
by southern planters mansion, poetry
by rose embowered cottage and nu-
NOR by modern fat.-Life-

Mother at Prayer.

Once, says Il writer, suddenly open
ed the door Of my mothers room and
saw her on her knees beside her chair
and heard her speak my name in pray
er. I quickly and quietly withdrew
with q feeling Of awe and reverence
in my heart Soon I went away from
home to school, then to college. then
into lifes sterner duties. But neT-
er forgot that one glimpse Of my moth
er at prayer nor the one word-my own
name-which I heard her utter. Well
did I know that what had seen that
day was but glimpse Of what was
going on every day in that sacred clos
ct of prayer. and the consciousness
strengthened me a thousand times In
duty, in danger and in struggle. When
death came at last and sealed those
lips the sorest sense Of loss I felt was
the knowledge that 10 more would my
mother be praying for me.

Sernents and Music,

Barnard concludes from his person
al observation Of cobras in Ceylon,
says the Scientific American, that the
serpent's traditional love for music
Is a pure fable and that the only ef-
feet Of music is to arouse the reptiles
curiosity, which is excited by any loud
and acute sound The cobra protrudes
its head from Its burrow alike on hear
ing the snake charmer's flute, the rat
ting Of a chain and the sounds made
by beating tbe ground with a switch.
It appears to perceive only sounds OF
high pitch, for it pays no attention to
the low notes Of the flute or the beat
ing of the drum. Barnard also con-
hrmed, in Ceylon, the results Of OBJ
serYations made in the London zoolog-
ical garden on the supposed power OF
fascination exerted by serpents upon
birds, and be concludes that this pow
er of fascination is also purely imag-

Court Fools.

Court testers were either n1isshapen,
half imbecile midgets, whose senseless
remarks were welcomed with laughter;
quick witted, half mad fellows OF poor,
merry poets who devoted themselves
to the task for the income which 1t
brought.
It was their business In medieval
times to entertain kings and mobiles
with amusing sallies.
One Of the early French testers was
Mathurine, 4 woman.
English testers made use Of calfskln
coats, which buttoned down the back
and protected them from the anger OF
those who were provoked at their sa-
tirical thrusts.
A fools cap was adorned with three
asses ears and a cocks comb and
worn on shorn head. BE had wide
collar, carried scepter, and his cos
tune and cap were decorated with
bells.
