At this time of the year many Jar ents are making arrangements to in- troduce their daughters in society. The long and costly period of incuba- tion is ended, says the Philadelphia Ledger The girl has returned from a fashionable finishing school or from tour abroad, and she is now ready-albeit with trepidation--t cross the threshold into the scintilDat- ing ballroom and beyond that into a world of pleasure and of pain, of singu- lar follies and sad sincerities, of false friends and true counselors But what of the immediate process of initiation? Is the present exhausting ordeal. from the autumnal housewarming to the sackcloth of lenten penitence, any thing more than nerve racking, sleep destroying charivari of vulgar os- tentation and hectic, frantic furry to keep pace with the procession? What useful end is subserved by this mad rout of overlapping gayeties that burns the candle at both ehds and re- duces maiden. who shonld be buoy ant and radiant and beautiful in spirit and in health, to a shadow--blase. ane- mic and lethargic-of her former charming self!

And when this second revo- lution came on he let it go-he neg lected to pay his mining taxes and let if go back to the government And now all I want is quiet man to slip in and denounce that land and open up the lead Here, look at this.'
 He went down into his pocket and brought out a buckskin sack, from which he handed over a piece of we'll worn quartz.
 That's the rock he said "She runs four hundred dollars to the ton, and the ledge is eight inches wide be tween the waiis. Nice ore. eh? And she lays between shale and porphyry. ;"
 His eyes sparkled as he carefully replaced the specimen, and then he looked up at Bud.

APPEARANCE OF MARS.
Should the planet Mars always a

Should the planet Mars always ap-
pear round to the observer, or should
it, like Venus, show only part of its
circular disk? The planet presents
slightly "gibbous" appearance when
it is in quadrature or nearly so, i. e.,
when it is about six hours away from
the sun. As an extreme at such
times,s the loss of light would result
in an illumination about equivalent
to that of the moon when three days
away from full. When the planet is
in opposition, it is of course fully
illuminated, and at other times its
phase, as given above, is not very no
ticeable.

HAD CONSIDERATION FOR OWL
Small Boys Anxiety for Solemn Bird
at Least Showed Possession
of Kind Heart.

A fluffy little screech owl has
taken up its abode among the
gnarled branches of an old apple
tree. On recent rainy days the owl
has attracted fair-sized audiences of
passers-by by crawling out from the
hollow where it has its nest and
spending hours in solemn contempla-
ton of the curious ones below. Seat
ed on branch, the buff-colored owl
stares downward with unwinking
eyes, and when someone walks
around the tree the owl slowly turns
its head to follow every movement.
A little boy was walking around
the tree when l happened along. The
little chap walked around twice, and
then suddenly stopped and started
around in the opposite direction, So
berly, almost anxiously, watching the
little owl turn its head.
81 guess I'd better walk back" ex-
planned the boy, "because if | don't
the little owl will twist its head right
off,"

ANCIENT IsRAELITE CAPITAL.

An Austrian theological professor,
DR.. Ernest Sellin, engaged in the
excavation work in Palestine, reports
that he has discovered in the hill OF
Balanta, in Samaria, the founda-
tions of the ancient Israelite capital,
Shechem.
Although the professor was only
able to work less than three weeks,
he succeeded in uncovering some
very interesting objects connected
with the various periods of the city's
history-Canaanite, late Israelite
and Hellenic. Amongst them are ar
rows, rings, pitchers and jugs, and
other household utensils, chiefly
made of silver or bronze.
