Stevenson's Brownies.

Stevenson maintained that much Of
his work was only partially original
His collaborators were the brownies
who ran riot through his brain during
the hours of sleep. He instances the
case Of "Dr. Jekyn and Mr.. Hyde" 81
had long been trying to write a story
on this subject" he writes, ito find a
body, a vehicle for that strong sense
Of mans double being which must at
times come in upon and overwhelm
the mind Of every thinking creature
For two days, 1 went about racking
my brains for a plot Of any sort, and
on the second night l dreamed the
scene at the window and a scene after
ward split in two, In which Hyde, pur-
sued for some crime, took the powder
and underwent the change in the pres
ence Of his pursuers. All the rest was
made awake and consciously, although
think j can trace in much Of it the
manner of my brownies"

Holy Lands of All RELIGIONS.

Christians call Palestine the Holy
Land because it was the birthplace of
the Christian religion OH earth as well
as that, Of the Saviour. whose birth,
ministry and death are inseparably as
ISOLATED with the history of Jerusalem
and vicinity. To the MOhammedans
Mecca, In Arabia. is the holy land, 1t
being the birthplace of Mohammed,
the saviour of the followers Of that
faith.
India is the holy land of the Chinese
and other oriental Buddhists, it being
the native land of Sakya NUM-, the su-
preme Buddha. Ellis. one Of the sew
eral divisions of the ancient Pelopon-
nesus, was the Mecca and the Jeru-
salem of the ancient Greeks. The
temple of Olympus Zeus was situated
at Ellis, and the sacred festivals were
held there each year. The believers In
the Shinto religion make annual pill
grimage to Sitsa Kara. the immense
stone pillar where their supreme ruler
last stood while talking to men.

PIGEONS In ConstantinooIe.

In no big city in the world are there
so many tame pigeons as in CONSTANT
nople. In many squares in London
there are small fiocks of pigeons, but
In the Turkish capital they are to be
seen by the thousand. These pigeons
are sacred, and. indeed. many a
wealthy Turk leaves money to be de-
voted to buying food for them The
story Of why they are sacred is rather
Interesting. When Mohammed, the
Turkish prophet. was flying from his
enemies he hid i'm cavern. At the
mouth Of the cavern two pigeons built
their nest, so tradition runs, while
across the entrance a spider spun Its
web. The soldiers who came along
some days later felt certain that no one
had entered the cave. seeing the birds
nesting and the spiders web, and so
never troubled to enter it and search.
Ever since then the Turks have held
pigeons and spiders to be sacred.

A Natural Born Spender.

When a long forgotten cousin died
and left Miss Mitfield a round hun
dred thousand the entire village, after
having recovered from the shock, fell
to wondering whether the faded little
spinster, after having for sixty-three
years pinched and scraped and plain
sewed just to keep soul and body to-
gether, would, after all, get much COM
fort from her eleventh hour opulence.
The state Of little Miss Mitfeld's
mind was revealed when her next door
neighbor inquired what she should do
with her money did she mean to
save it?
"Save itr' Her eyes flashed with
new found scorn. "Lsten to me,

Gifts of the Grass.

The grass is missed only By its alb
sence. When we pass by a house
which is minus green lawn or grassy
plot In front we exclaim, What blot
on the landscape In vague way
we realize that the grass gives tone
and color to outdoor life as nothing
else can; that no picture is complete
without it. All the beauties of the
seashore-the bold rocks. the crested
surf, the dashing waves. the lights
and shadows which play at sunrise and
sunset beside old Ocean-cannot COM

Changed Words.

Tho English language presents q
large number OF words that have been
completely changed In their signif-
canoe since they first came into use.
In some cases their meaning has been
exactly reversed. A conspicuous ex-
ample Of this is the word let" which
shakespeare uses several times with
the meaning ito hinder" Hamlet ex-
claimed, an make a ghost of him that
lets me-" of course him that stops
me-"
Inc word is used in the same sense
In the Bible. as in ii Thessalonians ii,
He who now letteth will let until
ne be taken out of the way"
RaveP' and ''unravel' mean exact
" the same thing. although at one
Time to unravel probably meant to
reduce confusion to order Compare
the words valuable" and Invaluable
and loose" and "unlooSe."
As used freq Iently in the Bible pre-
vent instead of meaning to hinder"
means to ''precede" or go before"
which is, of course. its chronological

Why Not Be Friendly

Less than a third of the people In
the average American neighborhood
are natives. In thousands Of cases
practically all the population was born
elsewhere. So why stand of when
some one moves in from another Sec
ton? Why be niggardly with neighbor-
illness? OF course one may make an
occasional mistake, but for every un-
desirable acquaintance we find several
good people worth knowing. You,
your neighbOr and the newcomer are
problems of your community, and as
each of you may be the other two the
problem ought to be simple.
If you are an older resident greet
the newcomer. There Is double
blessing in welcome. In giving you
get.
If you are the newcOmer-well, your
duty was never better stated than In
these words of RuSkin:

journ in any place as If you meant to
