CLOUDS ENVELoP AN ISLAND.

White island, 80 miles distant from
New Zealand, is probably the most eX-
traordinary island in the world. 1t is
an enormous mass of rock nearly
three miles in circumference, rising
900 feet above the sea, and is per-
petually enveloped in dark clouds,
which are visible for nearly a hun
dred miles, says a writer.
The island consists almost entire
ly of sulphur, with a small percent
age of gypsum. Some years ago an
attempt was made to float a company
to work the sulphur, which is of high
quality; but, strange to say, sufficient
capital was not subscribed. There
fore the export of sulphur from White
island is still very small.
In the interior is a lake fully fifty
acres in extent, the vapor of which
has temperature of 40 degrees F.
and is strongly impregnated with
acids. On one side of this lake are
craters from which steam escapes
with great force and noise. This
steam and the vapor from the lake
form the dark cloud which envelops
the island.

GOLDFISH DON'T SLEEP.

The little goldfish, the pet of the
household aquariums, never goes to
sleep. In this respect the pike and
salmon are his equals. They are alert
for their prey in the ocean as the
goldfish is for the crumbs that are
fed him from household tables. In
his native element the goldfish for
ages for himself and has his eyes OPP
en- all the time.
There are some goldfish in Washing
ton, D. c., which have belonged to the
same family for the last fifty years,
and they seem no bigger and no less
vivacious today than they did when
they first came into the owners pos
session. A few of the fish in the I'M
perial aquarium at PetrOgrad are
known to be $50 years old, and the
age of the sacred fish in some of the
ponds attached to the temples in Chi
ma is to be counted by centuries, if
we are to believe the Buddhist priests.

HORSES JUMPING POWERS.

If the reader will carefully measure
out 80 feet an idea of a horses capac-
ity in this direction will be gathered.
Such a distance a steeplechase horse
called Old Chandler is reported to
have covered at Warwick many years
ago; and there is more than one ap-
parently authentic record of horse
clearing over seven feet in height.
The scene of such an exploit was at
the Phoenix park, Dublin, and the
horse was called Turnip. The animal
belonged to Sir E. Croften, and the
duke of Richmond, then lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland, wagered $500 that this
height could not be cleared. A wall
of the requisite dimensions was built,
and when finished Turnip was ridden
at it. He did what was asked of him
in perfect style, but it happened that
his grace, not knowing that the feat
was ready for performance, was not
looking when the, jump was made, and
Turnip was therefore ridden over it
again. not only successfully, but
easily.

HIS NIRs, THE SULTAN.

The sultan of Turkey hasn't a bad
opinion of himself. That is proved by
the titles under which he is mentioned
in a recent army order to his troops
in Mesopotamia. According to Lon
don Tit-Bits, here is the way it be-
gan: THE Finest Pearl of the Age
and the Esteemed Center of the Uni
verse, at whose grand portals stand
the camels of justice and mercy, and
to whom the eyes of the kings and
peoples in the west have been drawn,
the rulers there finding an example OF
political prowess and the classes a
model of mercy and kindness; our
Lord and Master the Sultan of the
two Shores and the High King of the
two Seas, the Grown of the Ages, and
the Pride of all Countries, the great
est of all Khalifs, the Shadow of God
on Earth, the successor of the Apos-
tie, of the Lord of the Universe, the
Victorious Conqueror Al-Ghari. May
God protect his kingdom, and place
his glory above the sun and the moon,
and may the Lord supply all the world
with the goodness which proceeds
from the Holy Majesty's good inten-
lions"

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME.

A young Kentuckian has lost a big
fortune by being 20 minutes late in
keeping business engagement.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
May be you can waste your own
time by being late in keeping engage
ments and feel that the loss, if any,
affair of the man you keep waiting.
You waste his time, too. If your time
is worthless, maybe his is not. He
may conclude that his time is worth
more to him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terWard whether it matters or not
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit
Men of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best
the value of time and the importance
of saving it by being prompt.

A few years later and that lad, grown
to manhood, stood at the bar of a
court, before a jury which had just
brought in a verdict for a crime in
which he had been concerned. Before
he was sentenced he addressed the
court, and said among other things:

USEFUL THOUGHTS.

Sow a thought, you reap word;
SOW a word, you reap an act; sow an
act, you reap habit; sow a habit,
you reap a destiny.-ThacKeray
There are many friends of Summer,
Who are friends while flowers
bloom.
But when Winter chills the blossom,
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway of action,
Friends of worth are far and few,
But when one has proved his friend
ship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Smiles and frowns, look, flower
Growing by the common way;
Trifles born with every hour
Make the sum of life's poor day.
And the jewels that we garner
Are the tears we wipe away.
We must not hope to be mowers,
And gather the ripe golden ears,
Until we first have been sewers.
And watered the burrows with tears.
Have always an eye upon myself in
the first place; and take special care
to admonish myself preferably to all
thy dearest friends.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

"The real 'reductio ad absurdum'
was reached in the French Revolution
when the laws to eliminate titles were
passed." reflects the Standard and
Times. Their ultimate effect was
the elimination of the individual him.
self, as shown in the instance sup
posed by the Christian Science Moni-
tor as occurring in a French court
when a French nobleman applies for a
passport before an official. He is
catechized as follows: What is your
nameo' Monsieur de Saint Cyr.'
There are no more Monsieurs.
Very well; de Saint Cyr' There are
no more De's. Good Saint Cyr,
then. There are no longer any
Saints Then l am simply Cyr' No
for there are no sires; kings are abol-
ished.' Thus the great nobleman be-
comes, by the process of titular elm
ination, what the witch lady who pre-,
sides over the making of the Irish
stew in the cauldron at the Pit of
Acheron calls a thing without a
namev" This elimination of titles,
where, indeed they still exist, is to-
day rare. Once conferred or acquired,
they are likely to endure. That they
oftentimes signify nothing, signifies
nothing. A current London report, for
instance, tells of a divorce scandal in
which the unfaithful wife is the Hon
orable Lady" daughter of Lord, the
convicted interloper Major the
Honorable" etc., grandson of the for
mer poet-laureate of the realm. All
of which goes to prove that one who
is known as a Lady may develop
to be anything but lady: but one
who is Honorable may show up to
be the soul of dishonor.

THE GIRLS SPARE TIME.

The girl who spends her salary

issues may, for a while, find the world

young woman simply cannot continue
this butterfly existence for any length
of time. Girls who are constantly on
the go" are well aware of the fact
that it is a physical impossibility to
report at ones work each morning
feeling fit and strong. Furthermore
common sense tells us that never
ending going" results in the average
person becoming bankrupt.
True, every right-thinking, life-lov-
ing girl longs for certain amount OF
legitimate pleasure, and only most
unreasonable mind would deny her
this; but if she is of the working class

waste her strength, and incidentally
lose needed sleep by attending diff

other hand, il she is a sensible young
woman she will wisely conserve her
strength and be satisfied with an oc-
casional simple amusement, of the
type that makes us all forget life'a
cares and worries.
Girls who waste good time in aim
less running around, could, if they
would, turn these spare hours to good

BOYS, DON'T.

Don't forget that you are to be men
and husbands.
Don't smoke in the presence of la
dies 1t is never respectful.
Don't measure your respect to a per
son by the clothes he wears.
Don't try to make your fortune by
easier means than hard work.
Don't speak carelessly of a lady's
character 1t is her only anchor.
Don't forget that the best and great
est man that ever walked the earth
was boy.
Don't neglect your business. Take
pains to do your work we'll. Good
workmen are always in demand.
Don't sneer at the opinions of 9th
ers. You may learn wisdom from
those far less pretentious than your
self.

THE UNcoNoUERED BANNER.

The unconquered banner that waves
o'erhead
Was bought for the living by the blood
of the dead;
It's message is glorious, yet solemn as
prayer,
For the hopes of a nation are written
there.
The unconquered banner; it knows no
retreat,
But marches to victory as martial
drums beat;
The emblem of Freedom, it's wreath
ed in glory,
The deeds of its heroes have written
its story.
The trust of a people it guards in its
folds,
And peace for the world it sacredly
holds;
Unrol it, unfurl it and hoist it on
high,
And up in the heavens there let it
fly!
1t triumphs in Justice, Gods blessing
endowed
And is kissed by the breeze from the
lips OF each cloud;
Its eloquent silence resounds through
the world,
1t stirs souls to action to see it I'M
furled.
The triumphant banner that reigns
o'erhead,
Der the homes of the living and the
graves of the dead,
Is Joy to the nation wherever it waves,
Oh, where is the foe thatll conquer its
braves?
Yes, proudly we'll stand in the UNI
sculptured years,
When battles have passed with ha-
trcdS and tears,
In the land Of our freedom, the land
that we love,
With the Unconquered Banner in tri-
umph above.

MARJORIE'S WORLD.

My! what a big, big world
Dear God has given me;
With far more stars than | can count
More hills than | can see.
And roses, such lot.
Why, if | plucked me one
For every minute of the day
/ never should be done.
And birds in every tree,
With wonderful bright wings!
They wait till / come running out
To tell me such glad things.
And oh, the little brooks
That call to me to play,
I'm sure they must be very glad
That | know all they say.
And then when night comes here
And into bed | creep,
Such lovely little dreams there are
To play with me in sleep.

Oh such a lovely place
But most of all the things, | think
| love my mothers face.
