A spear thrower'' or Throwing

simple, consisting Of round or fiat
stick one to two inches In diameter
and alDut 10 inches loug, notched at
one end and perforated at the other,
with sometimes one, sometimes two
holes. Into these holes the prehistoric
man thrust his fingers, affixed his

LAW NOT sTEvENsoN's FORTE
Popular Writer Was an Advocate by
Profession, but Early Abandoned
the Occupation.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous
Scottish novelist and essayist, was an
advocate by rofession-member Of the
Scottish bar--but he never practiced.
He hated the law--or at least the
practice of it-and abandoned 1t for
literature as quickly as he could. AT
the bar in Edinburgh, Lord Shaw of
Dunfermline (then Mr.. Thomas Shaw,
advocate) had an interesting view of
Stevenson as an advocate. He writes:
Il remember seeing him, with his
very white wig and his glossy dark
hair, his complexion of an ivory pallor,
and his cleaning dark eyes. A few
days after Stevenson went to the bar
he had got a guinea, sent to him with
instructions His sole duty was to
ask the judge for intimation and serv-
Ice Of petition of the party against
whom 1t was directed. All he had to
do was to stand up at the bar and
utter three words interrogatively In
timation and service? But he was q
mass of nerves. and these three words
he could not utter, and he besought
his friend to 60 into court and make
the little motion for him. 1 never
heard of his earning another guinea
as an advocate"

EMBoDY TRUTH IN SPEECH
Spaniards Have Aphorisms Which Are
In Many Respects the Supreme
Words of Wisdom.

The traveller in Spain frequently
comes across some very quaint but
wise expressions and sayings, for many
of which we have no equivalent In our
own language.
For instance there is the popular
domestic saying In Spain that "a
smoky honse, leaky roof and a
scolding wife drive man from home"
A Spaniard often sums up another's
character with the remark that "he is
like Golfers sack, bad outside. worse
inside" They are particularly fond
of sayings relating to love and money
matters, as the following expressions
show: Love, grief and money cannot
be concealed" and "he who tries to
get rich In year will hang in six
months" This latter proverb is evil
IDENTIFY meant as a kindly warning to
business men.
Not being particularly silent them
selves. the Spaniards like using the
expression, beware of silent men and
dogs that don't bark" Yet they have
another expression which seems direct
ly to contradict this, for it says, speak
little and well and you will be consid-
cred as some one"
Finally one might quote the old
Spanish recipe for true happiness !:
Enjoy your little. while the fool sssks
more"

A mirage is an optical Illusion, by
which images Of distant objects are
seen often as If inverted, below the
ground or raised In the atmosphere. 1t
is frequently observed on the western
plains Of Canada and the United
States. 'sThe phenomenon is best OBJ
served in the Egyptian or other des-
erts, and the inverted images so much
resemble these made in water as to
create the Illusion that a lake Is really
near. The mirage was known in an
cient Jewish times. 1t is mentioned
In Isaiah 1871: And the parched
ground shall become q pool and the
thirsty land springs Of water" The
Fata Morgana, what sailors call the
'loomings," the Flying Dutchman, the
Enchanted Island, Cape F1yaway, ETC.,
are all produced by the mirage.

A countryman was In charge Of
couple of live hares, which he was

To pass the time he took the basket
in which the hares were confined out
side the station and put it down in

down loosely and one of the hares
managed to get out.
The man rushed after 1t, but all to
no purpose; and just as he got back
the other hare jumped out and ran
away in the opposite direction.

to follow, but, pointing first one way
and then the other, said: DO you

Sheep. important place In World.

One man alone could not look after
a whole flock, so the first shepherd
called in others, who lived in scattered
huts or in caves, far apart, to assist
him, offering in return share Of the
wool and the meat that were now so
easy to obtain. And so at the edge Of
the pastures the first villages grew up.
Thanks. largely to sheep, human So
ciety came into being, and with it came
laws and customs for the benefit of
the little community.
The next tremendous step was the
discovery Of how to spin wool into
yarn and weave yarn into cloth, which
paved the way for manufactures and
commerce.
