Rurnina pian1onda.

You often hear of people with money to burn, but so far none has ever at tempted to burn his diamonds. The reason why perhaps is because they will burn beautifully. "A great many people imagine that diamonds are in- destructible," said a jeweler, who was placing a load of gems in his safe for the night, 'but as a matter of fact, a fire of diamonds would be the brfskest, prettiest thing in the world. Diamonds are nothing but coal carbon. Put a handful of diamonds on a plate and set a light to them. They will burn with hard, gemIike flame till nothing is left. There will be no smoke, no soot, and at the end the plate will be as clear as though just washed. Not the slightest particle, even of ash, will ain."-Pittsburgh Press.

Tennxson.s Rirds.

Of all the poets Tennysop was the most exact in his rendering of the songs or calls of birds. A young lady was present when he was reading ''Maud.'' When he came to the pas sage which says, Birds in the high hall garden cry. Maud, Maud, Maud!7 2 he suddenly ceased reading and asked her abruptly what the birds were.
 She blushed and hesitated and then said:
 ''Nightingales, I suppose"
 The poet turned away with the one word "Rooksy'
 He always made the sound right. What could be better than ''the moan of doves and '' Whit, whit, whitF chirruped the nightingaIe?''
 Then, linnets. robins and thrushes .:pipe'' in his pages, the woodpecker laughs and ''nocks,'' the lark and the blower '.whistle,'' the jay ''scriteh- es,'' the parrot ''screams,' the peacock squalls the blackbird ''warbles,'' the ocean fowl '+shriek,'' and the eagle 'tyelps." He may well ask in one of the daintiest of his IuIlabies, What does little birdie say?'' He knows, and he lets his readers know too.-London Answers.

The Missinq Chapter.

The new pastor of a certain country parish is likely to lose the confidence of his flock unless he changes his ways. During his sermon one Sunday morn ing not long back he stopped. abruptly and asked:
 How many of those here are dill gent students of their Bible?''
 Fifty hands went up.
 teGood!'' said the pastor. 'tNow, how many of you have read the second chapter of Jude?''
 Twenty-Five hands went up.
 A wan smile overspread the divine's face.
 t'That's also good, but when you go home read that chapter again, and you will doubtless learn something to your interest,"
 Reader, the point of this story lies in the fact that the book of Jude con- sists of one chapter only.

MOTHERS DAY WILL
 BE OBSERVED SUNDAY

The second Sunday in May is Mothers Day. This year it falls on May A. The beautiful thought of setting aside one day in the year to be particularly devoted to ones mother was first suggested by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who founded the Mothers Day Interna- tional association to provide the necessary organized support for the fostering of the movement. Thanks large to her efforts, Mothers Day has become a recognized institution as the day on which each of us should pause to acknowledge our debt of affection and gratitude to sttI1e best mother who ever 1ived,'' on which we should be with her if we can and. if we unfortunately can not, should make a point of sending her a message of affection and cheer. In cooperation with the effort to foster the observance of Mothers Day the Western Union Telegraph Go. has provided special telegraph blanks, appropriately decorated with an ar tistic design of carnations and bear ing the legend Mothers Day. on which all messages Of those who wish to send word of greeting to their mothers on this occasion, by day let ter or night letter or in a short tele- gram, will be delivered.
 The emblem of the day is the white. carnation, and it is the hope of the Mothers Day association that it will be worn by every 1one as tri- bute of respect, not only for his own mother, but also for all the gentle an noble motherhood of the land.

Troubles of a Great Bank.

The Bank of England has had it's troubles, notwithstanding it's great financial strength. It has passed through many perils. At various times it's notes have been at a heavy dis count, its credit has been assailed, it has been threatened with impeachment and it has been attacked by rioters. The first run on the bank occurred in 1707. Other panics or runs occurred in 1745, 1797 and 1925. In 1882 the Duke of Wellington was unpopular, and four men placarded the walls of London with the words, '"To stop the duke, go for gold.'' Nobody knew ex- act1y what it meant, but it produced a tremendous run on the bank At one time the bank lost f32O, ,OOO, or al- most $1,5O0,O0O, through the forgeries of one man and still more at another time by the forgeries of another man.
