PROPHECIES LIVED LONG.

Mrs. Shipton, or, as she was COM
monty called, when she grew old,
Mother Shipton, lived in Yorkshire,
England, nearly 400 years ago. That
was a superstitious age and she had
the reputation of being witch. She
claimed to have the gift of prophecy
and some of her predictions had
credulous believers long after she
was dead. She died in 1861 and as
late as 1881 many persons in the
country districts of England were
so impressed by prediction Of hers
that the world would come to an end
that year that they left their houses
and spent whole nights in the fields
praying.

GOOD ADVICE FROM AMERICAN
Frenchman Urged to Attend Duke Of

Line at Resurrection.

Germany feels toward England
as the French felt toward the duke
of Wellington after the downfall of
Napoleon"
The speaker was Historian Ober-
holtzer Butler of Chicago. He went
on:
Given when the duke of Yelling
ton came to die, the French hatred
of him still smoldered, so much SO
that the French ambassador hest
tated to accept the British govern
ments invitation to the funeral.
"How can l go to the funeral,
the ambassador asked, of the man
who did SO much harm to my coun-
try?'
''But the American ambassador
said:
"Hold on there, friend! They're
burying the duke, are they notp
eyes, naturally
"Well, then, accept and 60. Al
ways accept an invitation to the
dukes burial, but, if you're ever in
vited to his resurrection, decline
with thanks"

BUILD SHIPS ATOP MOUNTAIN
People Of Dutch Island Of Saba Con-
struct Vessels and Lower Them
Into Water With Ropes.

About forty miles to. the eastward
Of our newly purchased island Of St.
Croix in the Danish West Indies
lies the little Dutch island of Saba,
which is one Of the most isolated and
peculiar little communities in the
world. There are no regular sailings
to Saba--the trip is made in a sail
boat from st. Croix or from one of
the larger Dutch islands to the
south.
AT Arst glance, Saba looks like an
uninhabited island. It is an almost
perfect volcanic cone rising 1000
feet from the blue Caribbean. There
is no harbor anywhere on its circum-
ference. Landing is made on tiny
strip of stony shingle, guarded by a
wooden hut that serves as the Dutch
customhouse. The villagers live in
the cup of the dead volcano, in
little grassy valley 1000 feet above
the sea, reached by flight of more
than 800 stone steps. Up these<stepS
they carry on their heads all the
tnecessaries of life, and down the
, steps they lower their products-in-
Guiding the ships for whose building
, Saba is famous.
All over the West Indies You will
hear of Saba-built sloops and schoon.
ers, noted for their staunchness and
their sailing properties. These yes
sells are built on an island which ha'
not the trace of a hsrbor-they art
built in a valley far above the SCI
and lowered into the water will
ropes.

Bordinet, a well-known French

which to engrave diamonds. One of
the beautiful results obtained by
Bordinet is a diamond cut in the

side, and delicately engraved on the
outside. Another attractive cutting
is inlthe form Of a fish. Some dia-
monds have armorial bearings en-
grayed upon them. Within the last
few years, it has been possible TO
bore diamonds, SO that they may be
strung with other stones. 3 q.
