Old Illustrated Book.

One of the oldest illustrated books Is an edition of "Aesop's Fables" pub lished about 1471. It has initial letters of great interest, and upward of .160 very curious wood cuts. The copies which have survived the centuries are bound in thick oak boards, covered with stamped leather. There was a book published in Florence only five years after the Aesop which had three copper-plate engravings, and one of the most remarkable features of the early illustrated works is the grace and excellent fancy of their tail-pieces and type, and the fresh look which the ink has.

BIG WATERFALL IN ICELAND
Dettifoss Most Striking, Larger Than Any In Europe-SeenIe Wonder of
 the Frigid Country.

Dettifoss, by far the most striking of the Iceland waterfalls, and larger than any in Europe, is well worth a visit, but 1t involves some Very long rides. The writer. says the Christian Science Monitor, starting from the northern part of Husavik, took over two days to reach 1t, stopping at night at two farmhouses on the way, and making a. detour to see the wonderful volcanic valley of Ashbyrgl. The jour ney westward to Myvatn from the fall over desert land, occupied about ten hours.
 The fall lies on the Jokullsa, a gla- cial river that rises in the Vatnajo- kull range in the south, and flowing northward, falls into the Arctic sea. Parallel to the river lies a deep rift like dried-up river bed and this has to be crossed before the traveller can stand on the brink of the chasm where the river takes its leap 200 feet down. There is curious crack in mid-stream and over 1t the sundered waters are hurled in wild confusion, again min gling and losing themselves in clouds of spray. The columnar basalt on the far side can be discerned through the mist, every pillar tipped with moss. while the near side is also green and velvety. The walls of the ravine be- ing perpendicular, to descend Is im- possible, and the blinding spray pre- vents long stay near the fall, which Is best seen at point lower down the river. The upper fall, a quarter of an hours walk higher up, with f1f- teen feet of a drop, seems a mere cas- cade after the principal one.
 The whole region bears witness to the ;"strife of nature." On the far side of the river stretches a desert marked with dull red cfnder heaps, and crater vents like huge black caul- drons, snow-capped hills closing in the weird landscape. From the cavernous depths in the foreground rises the ceaseiess moan of the waterfall, so re- mote from human habftation, and im- preSsive in it's loneliness.

Filipino Working Girl.

At Bokod Filipino girl with two years training can earn 25 cents a
 day weaving pillow covers table run ners, or dress material. says the Chris tiGn Herald. The food she eats costs 5 cents day. She not only earns money for herself and family in addi- tfon to taking a complete academic course, but one-half the proceeds from her labor, turned into the school fund, has already provided the school with a fine photograph, good collection of records, and the instruments for ten piece stringed orchestra, which turns out music that would compare well with the best that graduates from a New England finishing school could do.

First Use of lingo.

George Jacob HOlyoake, the apostle of cooperation, was the first to make use of the nickname jingO in refer ence to wrong kind of patriotism in a letter which he wrote about the Dis raelian Chauvinists in 1878, observes the Argonaut. Nobody yet knows for certain where the word came from, or what was its original meaning. Mot teux, in his seventeenth century trans 1ation of Rabelais, gave ''par Dieu" as "by Jingo;" it is some peoples opin- ion that JingO is the Basque for God, and that the word made it's way into the English language through the medium of Basque sailors.

SERVANT" AN ABUSED WORD
President of United States, Heads ef Banks, Ministers, Physicians,
 Are In Same Class.

It is a pity that we have allowed op- probrium to attach to the good old word servant" opprobrium utterly un- merited. Talk about 'help," or the lat est equivalent, "maid," used quite in appropriately, says the Youths Com. panion, does not alter circumstances in the least, nor is there any reason why we should wish them altered.
 Every one who is worth anything is a servant. The merchant serves his customers. If he serves them not well, they discharge him. The lawyer serves his clients, the minister his parishion- CTS, the doctor his patients. The presi- dent of a bank is a servant, and 60 Is the president of railway. The presi- dent of the United States is the hired servant of the people of the United States, and few servants in any occu- patton are more abused by their mas ters.
 Service, we'll and faithfully per formed, is the only real dignity, and all the outward pomp and insignia of rank are but badges of service, and IOdisgraceful if they are not earned. Service is life. It is only when we are doing something to serve the large movement of the world what we are entitled to live in it, that we really do live in it. Life is measured by useful ness. Of all the varied affliction that swift-footed age can bring, none is more oppressive than the sense of di- unfinished capacity for service.
 Not to be ministered unto, but to minister not to be served, but to serve. is the utterance of the highest author ity in spiritual matters. There is but ] one disgrace connected with service of any kind, and that is to serve Ill. Let us perform whatever. service falls to us, large or small, high or low, with all the zeal and all the strength that Is in us. Then we shall be sure that when we depart we shall be missed. if only little; and there is no more solid satisfaction in the world than that.

Dry, Hot Atmosphere.

Dryness combined with high temper ature Is commonly deemed injurious, notes an exchange. This is the con- bination found in desert climates and In many artificially heated dwellings in northern climates in winter. The dry, hot atmosphere induces restless nes and nervous" feelings as well as drying and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes. Susceptibility to colds is said to be increased in indoor 1wellers in a hot, dry atmosphere, al- though a similar effect does not seem 10 be associated with the aridity of desert climates.

YOUNG MAN TWICE MISTAKEN
Addressed as Salesman In Hat Store and Given Dollar Bill as
 Tip at Restaurant.

"I forgot to have my initials put in a new hat that I bought last week" said Mir. Blinkington, land so passing that way today, stopped in at the store.
 "A little back from the door I saw a tall, straight, trimly attired young man standing there, hatless, looking toward the front, and to him I said, at the same time holding out my hat:
 "'Will you please put my initials in this hat?'
 "'Well, I'd be glad to do that for you,' the tall young man said, but put in my own hat And he said this smiling, and with absolute good humor.
 "Then I found salesman who took my hat; and when I ventured to ex- press to the tall young man my regret over having made such mistake in first addressing him he said 1t was all right, and told little story of a some what similar experience that had once befallen him.
 "One night last winter while he was waiting in a restaurant for friend who was to join him there, being in dress clothes at the time and standing at the moment near the door, a guest in passing out thrust something into his hand. He didn't look at this, but tucked 1t in his pocket. A little later when it occurred to him that some body had handed him something he fished 1t out of his pocket to see what 1t was. It was a dollar bill."
