Oriuir of the ONYX.

When waters charged with carbonate
of calcium derived from limestone are
allowed to evaporate they deposit their
load in the form Of sinter, or tufa.
This process can be observed at many
thermal and ''petrifying' springs and
also in the formation Of stalactites and
stalagmites in limestone caverns. In
this way large masses Of compact car
Donate are formed, some of them of
great beauty. The so called "onyx
Marbles of which the Mexican "onyx"
is familiar example, are formed in
this way. Some rock Of this class is
stalagmitic in caverns, and some Of it
is formed by springs. Its variations in
color and texture. to which its orna-

commonly produced by impurities or

Little Sermon on Forbearance

We should constantly say to our
selves, forbear, and again forbear.
Seldom do we regret silence. often
must we lament speech. Our hasty
words, impetuously spoken, iinger In
wounded memory, and leave scars
One questions IL affection is ever
again quite the same after an unjust
or brutal attack has fiawed its per-
feet arc, says the Philadelphia In
quirer.
In the home realm, where relatives
meet in the unrestraint of daily inter-
course and the social guard Is down,
there is always occasions for the ex-
ercise of forbearance.
Wait a little, repress the impulse to
censure, drive back the spirit that ts
bitter and bristling and wear the look
and speak the language of amiability.
Recall the assertion of a certain old
book, that better is he that ruleth
his spirit than he that taketh a city.
If the small son or daughter has
transgressed, forbear reproof until as
sured that the error was intentional.
that the accident was due not to in
nocent misunderstanding but to will

If the friend fail to do what In
given circumstances is expected of
her, forbear the unlxind rejecting and
give her the benefit Of charity. Most
wrongs right themselves, and most
frictions are smoothed IL only forbear-
anoe direct the domestic engineering.

A Woman's Nerves.
We had turned into leafy lane that

somewhere and 1t might not. We were

"Yes," said I heartily, II certainly

But / was SO busy answering Mary

bang, swerving heavily. Mary grabbed
my arm with the result that we shot

Impulse and Patience.
And all at once Mary's lips quivered
and she sobbed. 1t was sheer nervous

To be quite truthful, the rebound

I was getting my balance again in

I wonder, In unexpected crises do peo-

The admitted advantage Of an OUT
door life in morbid conditions, and
notably in consumption, seems to
point to the conclusion that there IS
something injurious in the indoor life
which is now the common mode OF
existence among civilized people.
The mere removal of consump-
tive into the open air will lower his
fever, allay his night sweats, and
altogether improve his general con-
dition, and 1t is difficult to avoid the
conclusion that If these symptoms
are removed by the purity of the air
outside, they must have been largely
caused by the impurity of the air
within the house. Nor Is the con-
sumptive the only one who suffers,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Doubtless healthy ones struggle
against, and overcome, the evil In
fiuences before which those who are
tuberculous succumb. but that is not
