TheAcceptance of Lemuel Lady of His Choice Decides to Take Him After
 Thought
By ALICE LOUISE LEE EcOpyrisht by Alice Louise Leel

When Lem proposed the fifth time decided to take a day of in the little country town where I was born and think it all out among the birds and flowers. There I should come to final decision.
 Lem grimaced when told him-I did not reveal the name of my destination for obvious reasons, and retorted, "An right, Jane, think 1t over as much as you like, but remember if your decision doesn't suit me I shall not accept it. not l."
 That's the way with Lem. He ought to have been on his knees begging me to make it favorable, but he isn't that kind. He always stands so straight he fairly bends backward and laughs when he should appear distressed. Lew is not an ideal lover, as I once bluntly told him.
 He merely remarked grimly-it was on the occasion of his third proposal If you have lover more ideal name him, and I'll go out and punch his headP' Then he laughed.
 Lem doesn't appear to take me seri- ously except my name. I want to be called Jennette, but be forgets; says Jane was always his favorite name. admit that when he says 1t it doesn't seem half bad. but only think of the sound of ''I, Jane, take thee, LemueL"
 'EBy love-" exclaimed Lem when called his attention to this, "there isn't another sentence in the English lan- guage that would suit me half so wellp' And he looked almost handsome when he said 1t.
 He isn't bad looking anyway, and every one praises him until I get tired of hearing it-"A rattling good fellow" (that from my brothersJ.

Certainly there's no such op- portunity at home.

Inertia of Bodies.

Lay a visiting card on the tip of the left fOrefnger and on it place penny. \ quick flick of the card with the right second finger will remove the card without disturbing the coin. Another trick which illustrates the inertia of bodies Is to knock away the bottom of a pile of checkers without upsetting the pile. This is effected quite easily with the help of a fat ruler. The re- maining checkers are removed sue eessively by a number of smart blows.
 A more spectacular and apparently risky trick consists of drawing a news paper away from under a glass filled with water. Provided. however, that the table Is smooth and the paper be pulled away smartly and horizontally there is no danger of the water being spilled.

AN ANCIENT CLIFF CITY.
The Ruins Of It's Primitive Dwellings In Walnut Canyon.

Walnut canyon. near Flagstaff, Ariz.. contains some of the most inter esting ruins on the continent. The canyon itself is remarkable, being Il thousand feet deep. quarter mile III width at the tor and few hundred feet at the bottom. The sides do not rise up in gentle slopes, but leap up- ward. tier upon tier, a giant limestone stairway. Here were conditions that appealed to primitive man. The smooth shelf or ledge formed floor. the protecting rock d ceiling. the slOp- ing strata rear walls. He had but to throw up front and side walls and d home was completed. with q floor that would never wear. out and a roof that would never leak.
 It is estimated that there arI at least a thousand of these primitive dwell ings in the Walnut canyon. There is but a single entrance to this clif1 city The trail leads over the face and down the sides of the cliff and on through the ruins of one of these houses. When the walls of this building were stand ing it completely filled the width Of the ledge. As no one could enter with out passing through this house or gate way, one man, armed with a primitive stone ax, might well have stood off an army.
 All articles of furniture have been carried away, but there are still traces of a fireplace, and the blackened ccil- ing tells of it's long Occupancy. In the ashes and litter have been found bro- ken pieces of pottery-red. black and gray-decorated in colOrs and with pat terms displaying their artistic tastes. In small pockets, dug out in the rear walls and carefully sealed up. arc still occasionally round pieces of cloth Ot hemp and fiber of yucca. corncobs, squash shells beans, etc.-EXchanGe.

PoIiahino Coral.


 Although Venice is center for tour ist trade in coral and shell cameos, coral itself is neither gathered nor worked there The manufacture is con- fined to TOrre del Greco. Polishing coral in quantities is an interesting feature of the work. It is placed ln a small bag of strong, raw linen together with crushed pumice stone, and the bag is shaken in a special tube with a hole for drainage under a small column of water. When the coral is we'll pumi- cated it is washed and passed into clean bag. Instead of the pumice the so called 'pulimentO' Cred or white) is used, and the former operation is re peated, first without water, then with little and finally with much water, when the coral has become brilliant. What the ''pulinentO" is the inhabit ants of TcrrO del Greco, while so proud and jealous of their industry. have never taken the trouble to find out, as, indeed, what the aqua OssigenatA" Hydrogen peroXideb is, which is used to change the color of the coral, black when extracted from the sea, to red. As for the ''pulimento," it is not differ ent from that which the jewellers use to polish precious stones.-Exchange.

Why Disease |. Caused bv Easr

An eminent medical authority once made the statement that a great deal of contagion is due largely to nervous apprehension and fear. Terror causes radical changes in the secretions and nerve cells, and while the possibility is not the direct cause of disease it cer. tainly is sufficient to put the person in the proper condition to he attacked by the prevailing malady.
 It is well understood fact that ex. cessive anger infuses toxic elemeE into the secretions. Fear destroys the resistive capability and, as it were, lets down the drawbridge and makes way for the enemy.
