"CLOTTED SUNSHINE"
Origin and Uses of Amber-Where

scientists have said--how much
scientists know about the workings of
the human mind-that the high value
paced on gold is purely a hereditary
instinct; coming down to our present
enlightened generation from our sun

color some kinship with the life-giv-

The same explanation has been given
for the esteem in which amber has
always been held-"clots of sunshine"
the glowing Slobuies have been called.
Ihat platinum outvalues gold, or
that the coldly radiant diamond would
buy many times it's weight of ordina-

Shyness sZEciipse.

Shyness is eclipse; that is precisely the
word for it, 1t snuffs out the spirit like
n flame, and leaves the Inadequate candle
to embarrass the candlestick. An UNI
wieldy. conspicuous thing-an uniightea
candle, 1t stands very niue. in its own
way and in that of the world. If it will
not burn, it might at least wholly dis
appear, like the unfortunate Jonah.
But the more completely shy
people obscure the only interesting
part of themselves. their vitality.
the bigger the rest Of them bulks
bulks aud looms, depressing the earth.
A big man at his ease takes up very
little room; but a small. shy man is un-
der everybody,s feet including his own.
He can not help it. He has so complete
ly deserted his body-fleeing, fleeing that
he has no longer any control over his
members. He is very polite about the
Inconvenience he causes. but he is huge
~ de trop.
The shy mans politeness is one of the
worst features of his ptiful case 1t is
SO deceptive. If he frankly shows him
self to be shy-by shrinkings and blush
nee and silenees-the world under
stands what is the matter with him and
makes allowances. But that is not real
shyness which displays itself Rather it
makes all possible haste to disguise. not
only its victim but itself, beneath lay
ers upon layers of elaborate humbug.
one of the shyest people l Know has,
on shy occasions, the very grandest
manner | ever marvelled at Through
some good scientific work he has done,
he is something of a celebrity, and he is
frequently invited out in his capacity as
lion. Head erect bearing composed
rather nonchalent-he looks his host and
the other guests firmly in the eye. He
talks almost fast as my steamer ac
quaintance, but with this unhappy diff
ference, that he says nothing at all. 1t
is incredible what a flood of common
place twaddle can proceed from the lips
of man who really has original ideas.
The weather, the latest novel or play
suffrage, the niquities of the gas COM
pany-all the stale old topics he re-
nearses in their same stale old phrases.
He is quite hdeously polite If any one
disasrees with him on any of the vastly
important subjects which he has chosen
to discuss, he at once defers to the diff
ferent point of view and yields the ar
gument without a struggle. He is so
punctilious in his department that he
