"Aqua, aqua he shouted, lapsing into
Latin, his mother tongue. aqua

thirsty man! What would the ocean
be without water? Answer me that!
What"
That question had never struck his
audience before. They pondered in
silence.
"Water' cried the orator again.
"What would Niagara falls be without
water?"
Another %stupendous question. His
audience stirred ~restlessly; his argu-

The a of Eggs.

An expert recently entertained the
Geological society Of London with a
mathematical discussion Of the differ
ences in the shape Of eggs. A few
eggs, like those of the. owl and the
tortoise, are spherical or nearly SO; a
few, like the grebe's or the eormo Dr.
ants are elliptical, with. symmetrical
ends; the great majority, like the
hens, are ovoid, or blunter at one end
than at the other.
The hens eggs are always laid
blunt end foremost Eggg which are are

Thomas Moore, Famous Irish Poet
Was Surely Exceptionally En-
dowed by2Nature.

Thomas Moore, Ireland's favorlte
minstrel poet, was born in rooms oyer
a Dublin corner grocery j r! I779, ana
died a baronet, the s'pote. Of all cir
cles. and the darlint of his own" the
idol of two continents, in 1852.
For the last thirty years OF MS life
he lived ina cottage al. Superior, near
Devices, Wiltshire, where he devoted
himself to all manner Of literary Ell
forts. His works include not only de-
lightful short poems of ,s1The Last Rose
Of Summer" type. but also poems. to
form a quarto volume, such as "lLalla
Rookh," for which Moore received g.
900 .guineas (s15,O00), and they in
cIude prose of all kinds, a series of
humorous letters, biographies and
even a History Of Ireland"
Moore himself was a beautiful sing
er and rendered his own compositions
often in public, it is related. After
the tragic death of his daughter he re-
fused to sing publicly again. His
daughter, the darling of his heart, was
leaning over the balustrade one night
to throw a kiss to her father as he
was going out to dine, when she lost
her balance, fell and was killed.
"'The Last Rose Of Summer" was
one of Moore's most exquisite crea-
tons. 1t appears in a collection of
@Irish Melodies" written for Power, a
London music publisher, on a contract
to supply a considerable number of
songs for a volume entitled as above.
/ The work was started in 1907 and was
mot. completed till 1884 'The Last
Rose Of Summer" however, was among
the early. productions, and is there
fore easily more than 100 years Old.

Her Daddy Was All Right.

When I was twelve years old I called
upon Mary Jagged eleven) one Sunday
evening. I was all dressed up and
had ,pilfered. an arm8ul of mothers
cherished .lilacs from the garden. I
stole. out the alley gate, %traversed
Mary's back yard and she met me at
the kitchen door. We sat on the back
steps. I restrained. a strong impulse
to flee when Mary said. 'Father is
coming, I think" He vas a grqff, bad
man. When he saw us i was terror.
stricken. What he said was, FLOWS
the boy tonight?" and he took us. both
in the house and sent little brother
after ice cream and Mary''s mother cut
a cake. So I wasn't kicked out by an
irate father, after all in fact. he still
likes me and often jokes about the
lilacs and the kitchen steps, although
another young man walked supthe aisle
with Mary.-Chicago Journal.

SAW SIGNIFICANCE in MoLEsI
Writer, Of Long ago Pointed out the
Meaning Of Spots on the Human
~ Anatomy.

Have you a little brown mole con-
cealed somewhere about your anatomy
that you sometimes show to your
friends-and sometimes don't? Well,
every little mole has a meaning of
it's own, according to a .chap-book that
was current in the Eighteenth century,
entitled Dreams and Moles, With
Their Interpretation and Significance"
(printed and sold in Aldermary church.
yard, Bow lane, London). Whether
you are to. be happy or unhappy, lucky
or unlucky in life, depends upon where
your little pet is located. Here are
some of the interpretations given in
the old chap-book:
A mole on the right shoulder de-
notes happiness to maj or woman.
"A mole on the left shoulder denotes
a man, to be quarrelsome, but a woman
to have many. husbands. -
On the left cheek denotes frankness
in man or woman, d
On the left ribs, cruelty in man, van
ity and pride in woman. .s
Near the right shoulder, you are to
be slave to love if a man, and to be
beloved Of great men, if you are q
woman. +
A mole on the right side Of the alb
domen means riches for a man and
happiness in marriage for a woman.
One under the right breast ,presages
good fortune in your ventures; on the
back, riches and honor. Vi.
A mole on the right arm denotes
that you will rule your own house
hold; one on your left arm, that you
will be a slave to duty.
"A mole on the right hip signifies
good fortune in wedlock to man or

Too Crowded.

. So Daniel Boone was now on
his way westward to Missouri, to a
new land of tabled herds and wide
spaces. Waving his last fare
wells, he 1oated past the little groups
till their shouts of good will were
long silenced, and his fleet swung out
upon the Ohio.
AS Boone sailed down the beauti-
full river which forms the northern
boundary Of Kentucky, old friends and
newcomers who had only heard his
fame rode from far and near TO greet
and godspeed him-o on his way. Some
times he pausedf for day with them.
Once at least this was in Cincinnati
where he was taking lir on supplies
some. one asked him why, he. was leav:-
ing the settled country to dare the
frontier once more.
"Too crowded." he answered; II

HARD TO CREDIT THIS STORY.
tIf True, However, It. Shows the Re-
!. markable subt!ety. q. the Mind of
the Oriental. +

One ingenious If dishonest native Of
India turned his dark skin to excellent
account. One of the European exam
iners4of Calcutta university, says Lord
Frederic Hamilton in his book days
Before Yesterday" told me. that there
had, been a great deal Of trouble about
the examination papers; by some,
means or other the native students al
ways managed to obtain what we may
term advance" copies Of the papers.
Ny informant had accordingly devised
a scheme to stop the leakage. Instead
Of having the papers printed in the
usual fashion he called in the services
Of a single white printer on whom he
could rely. The white printer received
the papers early on the morning of the
day designated for the examination
and. duly set them up on a hand press
inside the building. He had one as
sistant, a coolie who was clad only in
loin cloth and5turban; by no. possibility
could he conceal any papers about his
person.
In spite of these precautions, how
ever, it soon became clear at the ex-
animation that some Of the students
had a previous knowledge Of. the ques-
tons. How had they managed it?
Eventually it appeared that the coolie,
taking advantage of the momentary
absence of the white printer, had
whipped off his loin cloth, sat down
On the '"fform' and then replaced his is
solitary garment. When he was
obliged to strip OF on e gG {d ! out the
printing ink did not show On On his DARK
skin, and al. that lrs had to , do5Was to
sit down on. 9; l large sheet Of white
paper for the questions to, be printed
off on it. Then, with the aid Of a mir
ror, the students could easily read
them. The oriental mind is subtle.
