had triumphed over (teath must havebeen great in proportion to the bit-terness of the disappointment whichthey had experienced at His cruci-f i x i o n . And yet, they were not eventhen able to grasp the full meaningof His triumph; and the fact that Heappeared to them only at intervals,and for only u short time on each oc-casion, must have made Him a per-petual puzzle to them. They werenot able to clearly understand Himor His teachings until the descentof the Holy Spirit on the day of Pen-tecost. : \

Pentecost was the true Easter forthe disciples; for then for the first

they understood what a gloriousact the resurrection of Christ was,and began to realize their own sharein that glory, and from that time for-ward they began to preach "Jesusand the resurrection." To them theresurrection and subsequent" ascen-sion of Jesus became a key to un-lock the mystery which had surround-eel Him while on earth, and in theirpreaching they emphasized the factof Christ's resurrection as God's tes-timony to the truth of His teachingsand of His claims.

If Jesus had not risen from thetomb, His life and death would havemade no impression on the world, foreven His own disciples would havelost faith in Him completely. "IfC h r i s t hath not been raised,"says, "then is our' preaching

BLOWING HIS OWN TRUMPET.

When you hear a fellow boastingOf the brave deed he has done,

Don't disturb him, let him tell youAll his smart things 'one by one;

But remind him when he's finished-Yes, his pardon humbly beg—

That tho hen that cackles loudestDoes not lay the biggest egg.

No doubt you have met people—There are lots of them, you know—

Who to promise aye are ready.At performing very slow.

In fair weather they're stanch com-rades,

But in foul they show the leg:For the hen that cackles loudest1

Does not lay the biggest egg.

Babbling streams make far mornnoise

Than the stately river's flow.Though upon the latter, commerce

Busily goes to, and fro.So it is with human mortals,

Workers on in silence peg;For the hen that cackles loudest

Does not lay the biggest egg.

house made-are such resptable, hard-working lit-tle people, that wo should never ex-pect to Iind a cuckoo tribe 'amongthem; but such Is the fact. In cer-tain parts' of America there existsa kind of bee which is no larger thanour house-fly; a plucky lltle creaturebut I fear we must allow that he isunprincipled In his conduct, "and hasno more sense of honor than thocuckoo.

It seems that in tho swarming sea-| son, when looking out for a goodnesting-place, this bee often takea afancy to the house already built by

i the white ant. These cleverj make a most wonderful nestlike a pyramid, and full of galleries,and store-houses, and nurseries fortheir young. This comfortable dwell-ing is of large size, varying from fiveto twenty feet In height, and It isnot surprising that the roving eyes ofthe house-hunting bee settle upon Itapprovingly.

The real surprise is. that when thesetiny pirates make a raid upon theants they should conquer, for thisbee, audacious as he Is, does notsting and the white ant does. Theants also have an army to defendthem. Besides the males the females,the workers and the neuters, thereIs a class among them whose dutyit Is to fight; they arc soldiers, andalways turn out fiercely when thenest is disturbed.

Naturalists have not been able todiscover how the bees carry on thewar against the ants. Perhaps theyovercome tho poor ants by sheerforce of superior numbers; certain itis that the? win the battle.

Many a time when a colony of thesehigh, conical ants' nests is found,most of them turn out to be inhab-ited not by ants but by bees—busy,active, sticky little bees, who are In-dustrious enough in making honey,however lazy they may be abouthouse-building..

The honey stored in these nests Isspecially good in flavor; It differsfrom our honey because it is notfound in the cells of a honeycomb,

that died, yea, rather, that was raisedfrom the dead. Rom. 8:34.

It is difficult for us to realize howcrushed the disciples were by ' thecrucifixion of their Master, Up to thevery last, they had believed that Hehad come to set up a kingdom onearth, and had hoped for great gloryfor their nation and high honors forthemselves, and when these hopeswere suddenly and completely dash-ed, they knew not what to think. Uwas not only that Jesus had failedthem, but the prophesies in whichtheir nation had trusted for manygenerations seemed to have, proveduntrustworthy, or at leait incompre-hensible.

They should hare known better, forJesus had warned them again antfagain <if the fate thatvwas In storefor Him, and with the warning Hehad given them a promise that H>would rise from the tomb in three-days. But they had not been able to-comprehend either the warnllng orpromise because their minds werepreoccupied with very differentIdeas. And consequently they wereao completely taken by surprlso-\vhen they saw Him put todeath as a criminal that they be-came utterly discouraged; so much so-that they found it very difficult to be,Heve in Hla resurrection, even aftersome of them hod seen Htm.

. It seems probable indeed that tht-Holy Spirit had purposely abstained"from removing the veil from theireyes In order that their very unbe-lief at first might become a, means-of giving greater weight to the testi-mony which they were afterward abl<-to Rive to tho fact of Christ's resur-rection.

None but tho disciples saw Jesusafter He arose from the dead (Actti10:40, 41), and if it had appeared thatthe disciples were'confidently expectIng His resurrection and ready to be-Tieve in it as soon as one of them re;ported having seen Him. there wouldhave been some basis for an argu-ment that they were-deceived- hy avision or apparition of somo sort, realor Imaginary; 'bill so far from that be-ing the case, we find these two disci-ples wondering what tho message ofthe angels concerning His rcHurrectlon could mean. And" we f ind thmeven In tho course of a long walk andof a very heart-warming talk fromHim they did not recognize Him.

And wo find later that oni- of tht>apOHtlos would not bellove oven uponJlio testimony of all tho othorti thatthi-y had se;(7iT JOHIIH. THoTtTas^wwiUi"not bellove until ^ himself now Jesusnnd heard Hln voice.

When JOHUH appeared for t in- flrtittlmo to the> whole company of theapostlen "thoy wero terrified and nffrlRhtod und supposed that thoy be-hold a rtplrlt." But Ho said, "Soo M>hands and My foot, that It la I My-self; .handle Mo nnd see; for a spirithath not (lean and bonos, IIM yo be-hold mo having."

selecting HO Easter lily from Mrs.Holer's stock wuu not only ezu»perat-ing, it was ••toniiiiyrot." One lily wasjust like another.

Ituflin stepped boldly between bujerand seller. He lifted a small, freckledface, mmle bright by a pair of winningtine eyes. "Mister, I'm lookiu fur aJob. I'll curry your Illy home for you."

The Kt'utlenuiD looked Ilufiin over-critically. Mrs. Moxcr Indorsed theboy. "Ob. you can trust Huff, sir."

The gentleman put his band Into hispocket. "All right. Chipmunk. A dime.Isn't It?"

Rilffiu shook bis bead. "Not yltWalt till the goods Is delivered. 1

~ wants a stop over privilege."The gentleman laughed. He found

Rufflu delightful. "All right. Chip-munk."

"Well. It's this way. sir. 1 got afriend. She's ray' friend nil right, butshe's heap cluster of kin to the angelsthan she Is to me. She bo'da at thehouse where I jobs.

"Oh.'he don't count for niithin. sir."said Ruffln with no cany laugh, whichsobered Into an awestruck expressionas an elegant lady with big black eyesand snowy wblte bnlr entered.

Marschalk rose to bin feet. "Hel-lo, mater: this young gentlemanbrought out your Kuster lily." .

It was at the luncheon table thatMarscbalk's mother guve him a mes-sage: "Lloyd. Cornelia sent you wordthat she wanted you to be sure tocome to church tomorrow.

Easter Day In the ChurchesEaster day is pre-eminently a day for church-

gointf. Three hundred million people, it is esti-mated, throng the churches throughout theworld on Easter, bending the knee in homagebefore the King of kings.

The Easter festival is one of the most beautiful in the church cal-

endar, a festival in which flowers and exquisite music play important

parts.

Easter is the harbinger of spring, the gloriousseason of hope, of revivified life, presaging theimmortality of which man in his philosophicmoments has a vague perception.

Let this Easter day bring. you into communion with that great

church which God established for the redemption of the world.

Go to church on Easter and hear in anthemand sermon that marvelous story of the resur-rection. Who knows? By that very act of at-tending the house of worship you may resurrectin your own soul the latent God hunger which,when it fills one's life* transforms him into a manof wondrous power.

Go to church on Easter day and behold the flower laden chan-

cels, the gorgeous varicolored blooms of spring, so beautiful to the hu-

-man-visioa-atter the sterile-winter. - - _ - — -

EiSTEIt Is iiiucb older thanChristianity. Tho very nameby which we know..the day Isidentical with that of the an-'

cient Siuoij goddess of spring. Easteror Eostre. The Anglo-Saxon name forApril is Euster month. Taking advan-tage of tbe coincidence of the Christianfestival In point of time with that ofthe yearly fenst In honor of tbe Saxongoddess, the early missionaries gave aChristian meaning to the observance ofthe day, but it has ever retained its an-cient name. Euster wns at one timecalled tbe Christian passover, becausetbe Jewish pussover occurs iibout tbesame date, nnd the early convertsfrom Judaism celebrated Easter andthe passover us one festival.

"Tbe primitive Christians," we aretold, "when' they met on this day sa-luted eiicb other with tbe words.'Christ is arisen.' to wbicb answer wasmade. 'Christ Is arisen. Indeed, nndhath appeared unto Simon.'" Thiscustom is still observed In the, Greekchurch "Indeed," to quote a foreignwriter, "all tbe ceremonies attendingtbe observuui-r of ICasu-r were ut firstexceedingly simple, but In tne earlypart of the gmrth century iT decidedchange was brought about.

Go listen to the exquisite music, the sacredcompositions of many of the world's masters ofharmony, which the choirs will render for your'edification.

• Easter day in'church will appeal to all that is noblest and best in

you. Go to church and partake of that spiritual uplift for which your

soul yearns.

The ta-pers, which It was customary to burnat this time, did not satisfy his majes-ty, but huge pillars of wax were usedInstead, and not only in the churches,but all over the city, were they placedBO that their brilliancy at night shouldriral the light of day.

SEPULCHER ofsodden earth, apall of cold graysky;

A dreadful silence,save the dirge of the wail-

- ing wind's last sigh;A dreary void, all colorless;

no vibrant life doth thrillAcross the widening wilder-

ness—the far dim starsare still

Beneath the bare, entombingearth a germ of life &pent

In graveclothes, till an inwardthrill, and cerements arerent,

And groping roots reach outto grasp the bosom of theworld,— ' ' ••-

And upward springs a bad-ding plant with leaveslike wings unfurled,

Upon its head a coronal ofglittering rainbow hue, '

Like saint with fabled aure-ole—a lily crowned withdew.

FpjHE heart's a tomb, allmnfil pulseless, cold.

Long hid beneath thesilent mold

Of Doubt and Vanity andHate,

And yet beneath this moun-tain weight

A spark divine with poweruntold.

When from the tomb the stoneis rolled

From unseen roots of Faiththere spring

The leaves of Hope, fastblossoming,

And then u wondrous flowerin bloom —

The flower' of Love — andfrom tlit* tomb

The soul bus risen. Thus re-born,

Dost tloubt the resurrectionmorn ?

It takes three sets of people to boost a town,— the common citizen,the merchant, and the real estate man. We can each of us say a^goodword for Hammoiitou,—that it's the best town on the map, the '»Hubof South Jersey," and other pleasant things. That's up to us.

The merchants must do their part ; and we are glad to note thatthey are manifesting; their interest by increased attention to their show_windows and newspaper advertising. The latter but few know how to

to advantage. But a. tastefully decorated window is a decided advan-tage. Take, for example, Bank Brothers' great shoe windows, on eitherside of the entrance. They can hardly be equalled in the large cities.Red Cross Pharmacy windows are always attractive. Monfort's shoewindows are worth watching ; as are those of W. L- Black, in groceriesand dry goods, and Jackson & Son, who are now exhibiting choicehams. Jeweler Steel shows a rich collection in his line, and nicelydisplayed. Wells, the news man, knows how to arrange his wares ingood form. Simons has plenty of room to show his sweets, and makesgood use of it. Krimmel. too, makes effective use of his two windows.Most of the other stores evidence pride in theirdisplay.

The real estate men are attracting attention of the outside world toHammontou. Mr. Van Fleet, has brought a number, of families here,and is still hustling. H. W.

Next week, the attention of every town in the United States will(?) be centered on the "Star's" scorching editorial condemning the•Republican" for overcharging the Town for legal advertising. After:he multitudes aie through laughing at his whine, and perusing localterns which have been in type several weeks, and many of which hadpreviously appeared in the "Republican," they will refresh themselvesivith the up-to-date news in the only paper printed in Hammonton, thepaper which is not a chronic kicker, but doca kick when there is need>f i t ,—the SOUTH J K K H K Y KIU-UHUCAN.

While we regret it exceedingly, because of the several fatalities, wecan see that the bridging of the Reading Railroad at Eleventh Street ispractically impossible. This week, a gang of men and a train of flatars removed the lops of the high banks, enabling team drivers to see a•onsiderable distance either way. A large gong warns those who can.oar, and signs wil l be placed f i f ty feet from the tracks.

That some people are simple enough to do work for nothing, or sell'<>ods for nothing, is no reason why you should do so. You owe somehiug to your family, for "he who fails to provide for his own . . in,vorse than an infidel."

,ll is with pleasure that we record that the "Sunday booze kill,"ilso t h a t redwing the number of County freeholders, will not becomeiws this year. Legislature adjourned on Thursday.

Don't dump ashes or any other rubbish into street or gutter. C. CCombe lias hern swoin in to stop that and other violations of law.

The tit-wei pipe lint- rontractorrt , and not the county, are repairingthe streets,—replacing the sand-top wi th four iriclic* of gravel.

Not until they were gonetwo days did'she discover her mis-take'. Of course John was called Inand everything was explained to him,and I shall never forget the happylook which he wore, or the shame Ifel t at having accused him so wrongly.'So, although years have passed away,and in them many things have beensaid and done which might havecaused me to distrust others, had Inot remembered how falsely I nadaccused John."

"Well, grandma." said Charles, "tbelieve you are right, and I will notbelieve that Tom took it, and mayuoit is good that it is lost, for Tom isthe best fellow anyway and moreworthy of the prize."

The next morning about a ha!fhour before school-time, Charlesheard a vigorous ring at the door,and upon answering it. found Tomimpatiently waiting. "Did you find ityet?" he asked eagerly.

"No," said Charles. "I guess I musthave mislaid it, or thrown it awaywith my waste paper," and no oneWould have guessed his disappointmentby his tone.

"Well, I kept thinking about that."said Tom, "and this morning an Ideapopped into my head. Did you putthat volume away before you missedit? We must look In that, and If itisn't there, we will go down in thebasement, and look through yesterday's waste paper."

"Just the thing, Tom, 1 wouldn't heand I would have no time to writeothers. He remarked about it publicly

After school,he came to me, said he was sorry andwould help me look around my deskfor it could not be far away, as I hartjust had It in the morning, and so crti,hut I said it was not necessary as Ihad myself looked.

THE GREEDY BOTTLE.

A poor, undersized boy, named Tim,sitting by., a. .bottle .and .looking in,said, "I wonder If there can be a pairof slio.es in it?" His mother hanmended his clothes, but said his shoeswere so bad he must go barefoot. Thenhe "took a brick and broke tho bottl",hut there were no shoes In It and howas frightened, for it was bin father'sbottle. Tim sat down again andsobbed so loud that he did not heara step behind him, until a voice said:

"Well! what's all thin?" Ho sprangup In great alarm; It was his father.

THE RAIN FAIRY.

Once upon a time two children livedon adjoining farms on a plain Jn far-off Russia. The boy's name wasEtel and the girl was called Olga.Both farms were large, with greatfields of wheat that reached,out formiles till they ran down into thewoods at the foot of tho mountains.And both families were comfortable,with flocks of sheep and plenty ,of fatcattle for the market.

But one summer when Olga. wasabout IG there came a great drought.For weeks, just at harvest time, therewas not a drop of rain. The heatquivered o^er the parching fields andthe brooks hardly trickled over thestones.

Now, the children were much wor-ried at seeing the trouble Jnwhich their parents were placed, especially as Olga and Etel were to bebetrothed as soon as the harvest wascut. But with the fields drying upand their crops ruining, neither of thefathers would give his consent to anywedding.

"No," said Btel's father; "there Isno time for a wedding—see, our cropsdying for need of rain. Find the RainFairy, save our wheat and you can uewed."

"Yes," spoke up Olga'a father, "Gofind the Rain Fairy. She lives on topof that tallest mountain on the north,but no one has ever seen her. Forhundreds of years slie has sent rain—something must have happened to her.Perhaps her old enemy, the Fire Troll,has done her harm."

At sunset Etel set out with a lo'itot bread in his bag. and all night hewalked. The road was dusty and thestones cut his feet, but he kept brave-ly one till at dark the next day hereached the foot of the tall mountains.High and dark they loomed abovehim, with huge crags of granite frown-ing down on the plains. And in aravern halfway up was the home, ofthe Fire Troll. So Etel crawled upthe cliffs on his hands and knees t i l lhe could see a light from the Troll'scave shining out between the stones.

Leaning over, he looked down intoa curious round ravine, in which satthe Fire Troll 'before a glowing flame.The- Troll's body was red all over,hut his hair, which was a bright pur-ple, hung in curly locks to his knees.

ONE VIEW OF SLEEP.

Likened to the Freezing of Water In a'•' Pond or Bovit?'

',

The approach of sleep Is much likethe freezing of water In pond or bowl.Faint spiculae dart from the sides;motes and dots, barely perceptible,swim In the midst. One might im-agine the process not less grateful tothe long unsheltered mere than tothe -merely longing brain, for as theone desires for the time being to bedefended from that thought which Isits own component essence, so mightthe other seek a coat proof againstthe plunge of an Icicle, formed of alike element. Slight agitation, ap-plied with judgment, will help thomatter on. The Introduction of a fin'ger -will sometimes change a bowl olcongealing water to a. solid mass. Abit of ice slid in at the proper 'mo-ment will help on the water's freez-ing, and so will thinking on yourlatest dream help to Induce* slumber.Transparent and cold as are ice andsleep nothing will keep brain andwater safer and warmer. AH glancesfrom them and naught stirs up mudor mood. The parallel holds to thelast, for nothing can more resemblethe rude awakening of a slumber thanthe sudden breaking of Ice, and noth-ing is more like a gradual and pleas-ant wakening than the melting thawwhere beginning and end are alikeindiscernible.—C. E. D. Phelps in "AFarmer's Notebook."

He was -sharpening a stick and sing-ing as he whittled:

No rain, no rain will there be againOn land or sea so deep:With this .blazing sky the crops will

dryFor the- Fairy of Rain is asleep.Though thn land may bake she will

never wakeTill I from her eyes the spell shall

take.Slipping noiselessly down the sides

of 'the '"cavorn'. Etel crept ^p behindthe Troll and opening the bag drewit down .Uglily over the Imp's head.Then with a bit of rope he liound thoTroll's arms firmly.

"You havo cast a spell on the llamFairy," cried Etol; "now take it offor you shall never come out of thissock."

Now, the Troll was almost chokedto death In the dusty sack HO hobuggtid Kiel to let him out.

"Not till you havo awakened theHnln Fairy." repeated Wtel.

"(!o to my <-heHt. In tho corner, getat crystal bull and • cost it Into theIliiine," gasped the Troll; "that w i l lawukmi /lior."

So Kti-l got tin- crystal luill anilthrow It Into tho llro. It hurst up IntoelondH of Hinoko, p ink , purple* nndgold, then rolled away to tlio top oft.!i« mounta in .

BALANCING BOWLDERS.

Two of These Natural CuriositiesSway in the Berkshire*.

For many years one of the greatestnatural curiosities in Berkshire coun-

I ty and which In earlier nnd lateryears has been visited by armies ofthe curious is Balance rock, fourmiles north of Pitts-field and near thesouth line of: Lanesboro.

This great marble bowler is now,of a deep brown color and is scarredand riven by the storms of centuries.It is thirty feet high, fifteen feet wideand is so wonderfully poised on a fewfeet at its base as to tremble at theslightest touch.

It wefghs-many hundreds of tonsand resembles from several points ofview a huge egg, a blacksmltn s forgeand the back ofl an elephant. It re-sembles no rock to be found on theTaconic mountain range or its foot-hills, near which latter it stands insphinxllke grandeur and silence.

It is not generally known that thereis another balance rock In Berkshire about of equal interest withthat in I^nesboro. It Is on thehighest point of the Monument niountain, where it slopes toward the east,and is "00 feet above the river atthe .village of Housatonic. Its catlmnted weight is over 100 tona.—Pittsfleld (Mass.) Cor. New YorkSun.

Fred's Frog Prince^Fred was going on a frog hunt. It

Was not that he wanted to, eat thefrogs. Not at all. But he just liked:o stone them or catch them and take.hem Home, where they soon died in.he shallow basins in which he put:hem to live.

Fred had a good home, and was ajoy who stood well at school, for'ew knew of his habit of treating tlie'rogs unkindly. So he would steal offunnoticed and sit for hours on the:>anks of the ;Black Pool, which wasfar down in the pine woods a..mile outof the village. Thht evening he spenta longer time there than he realized.Since sunset he had been throwingat every green head that popped upout of the black water, and yet hewas not satisfied. For there was onebig fellow who kept peeping from be-neath a large water-Illy and croakingat him in a dismal way that soundedas if it were making fun of him. Sothe boy lingered. He threw everystone on which he could lay his handsand every stick in the vicinity, butstill there was that impudent, fatreen head peeking out and the big

mouth, croaking '.'Juggerrum! Jugger-rum!"

"I am going to get that old fellow,"fretted Fred, "if it takes me all night.I do believe that ho is just trying tomake fun of me."

So the boy went back in the fieldand got a lot of stones which he pliedon the bank; then he sat down undora tree where the roots made a com-fortable chair with a seat of softmoss. Presently the moon began torise and dicker on the water, andFred could see the green back of thetuige frog swimming rapidly towardhim. Ho was too much frightened tocry out, for the animal seemed aslarge as a man. The big head rose outof the ponil and / the moonlight flick-ered on th" shining, wet skin.

Fred sat perfectly still. Up the mu<ldy bank the frog climbed, its feetflapping nurd on the grass. In a mo-ment it stood just over the boy.-

"I am very lucky," croaked thefros,in a deep voice, "very lucky, indeed,to find you here tonight. You will bethe means-of disenchanting me. For

dasaed out or the" way and sprangupward through the water, but jnatafter him came the frog croaking every step he took. .

"No, no!" cried the boy, as he eelout running .at top speed. "I don'twant to be 'a Frog Prince; and I amnever coming near your«pool again.'"

He stumbled, fell and opened hiseyes to find he had almost tipped overinto the dark water of the Black Pooland that the town clock was juststriking 7.

"Goodness!" cried the boy, "but Iam glad that was "a dream. But Iwon't ever trouble any frogs again—it might, come true."

a hundred years I havo lived in theBlack Pool under the form of !a frog,and all because of my habit whena boy of throwing stones at the help-less frogs I saw in ponds. I sat onenight a hundred years ago. Just asyou are doing now, on the bank ofthis pool, watching to kill the tinygreen fellows that came out,"

"But what changed you Intofrog?" gasped Fred, as soon as hecould got courage to speak.

"Why, that is easy to understand,"moaned the frog. "It seems that thinBlack Pool has a spell over It and itworks this way. The magic passeson from ono boy to another. By thisspell a boy who meets the Frog Princeon the banks of thla pond in tho moonlight In .Tuno becomes a Frog Princohimself—that Is, if ho Is a boy whohas been killing frogs."

"Well." cried tho boy in horror attho idea of having to livo In tho BlackPool.

"One I.M obliged to remain u Froj!Princo for 50 yearn, hut If at the emof that tlrno wo onn find another hoywho has tho sumo bad habit that gotUH Into trouble—can find him hero Ittho moonlight In .Juno—wo can panstho spell on to him and rosumo ourform of boy ngnln.

THE SEARCHERS.

Smith started out. In answer toA write-up of a distant land,

Where fruits and flowers always grewAnd south winds wanned a coral

strand;But soon a letter came along—

He had not been away a year—And this the burden of Smith's song:

"You have to earn your own livinghere."

Again Smith moved—and he was mostEnthuslsatlc o'er the view;

'Twas where, to quote the agent'sboast,

The easy-money bushes grew;But back a postcard ^winged Its flight

To those at home who held Smithdear; i

And this was all he cared to write:"You havo to earn your living here."

Poor Smith! In vain Ms restless feetShall fare -beneath the rainbow arch;

In vain through lands of cold andheat

Shall he, and kindred searchers,march;

For there has always been one rtgoTo greet man's vision, dull or clear;

E'en In Utopia It shall shine:You have to earn your living

here."—Arthur Chapman in Denver Repub-

CAT AND DOG CONVICTS.

Beyond the lovely vale of Kashmir.across the Indus, lies a desolate eet-•tlumem whtw oonvliits are tramspofed. . .

Probably one of the quaintest con-victs who crossed tho passes and en-tered this penal settlements, writesCaptain H. -L. Haughton in "Sportand Folk Lore In the Himalaya," wasa flno tabby cat. This cat was con-victed of no less, offense than that ofkilling and devouring a parrot and apet myna belonging to the old maha-rajah and was sentenced to penalservitude for life.

In comparing white and black pep-per the best grade of each should boselected for the test. Pungency may.be the principal merit of black pep-per, but the best white pepper makesIts best appeal through its superiorflavor and aroma.

GREAT MOGUL DIAMOND.

In his "ReuUlesj1 d'Hlstotre" M.Bioves publishes a moss of corre-spondence that had.'iiot hitherto seenthe light relative to tho history ofthe diamond of the Great Mogul. Thiscorrespondence consists of letters otThomas Pitt grandfather of the Earlof Chatham.

In 1701 Pitt was Governor Madras,and at tho some time he representedan English company. One day a mancame and offered, to sell for $500,000a diamond of an extraordinary size,evidently stolen from the mines ofthe Great Mogul.

In hia position of Governor, Pittshould have denounced the theft; inhis position of commercial agent heshould have thought first of the In-terests of his company. He did neith-er, but used his authority to Intim-idate the man, and beat down bisprice, and eventually the preciousstone came into Pitt's possession forthe sum of $100,000.

He committed it to the care of hisson Robert, ordering him to take I'to Kriglana and- have it cut. wmenMs son had started on his journeythe father began to have qualms. Hecalculated the value of the diamondat $4,000,000, and the very Idea ofsuch a vast sum frightened him.

His wife was already a greatspendthrift and he feared his sonwould take after her. His fears werenot groundless, for Robert hastenedto marry a dowerless girl, and beganhousekeeping on a ruinous scale.

The diamond when .It came intothe hands of the cutter, Cope, by nomeans fulfilled all the expectationsfounded upon its value. Impuritiesand fissures necessitated a wholesalecutting down, and' from 426 carats itfell finally to 128.

To make matters worse. ThomasPitt found himself Jn hot water. Hispolitical enemies made things warmfor htm,, and his company talked ofbringing—an action ̂ auatort him toreco.ver the value of the.diamond. Heludge'd it wise to return to Europeilmself and get rid of the stone andwind up the whole affair.

His patriotism would have liked tosee the diamond remain in England,but Queen Anne's funds were alwaysat a .luw ebfar-and were- not-equa-t-te;he strain of buying the Great Mo-gul's stone. George I. admired thestone whole heartedly, but was Par-lament's duty to make him a pres-

ent of it. So Pitt resolved to offer,the jewel to the Regent of. Prance,who decided to purchase It for the

of $500,00(V.—Ije Journal defr De-

^ TRICKS OF MEMORY.

Have you ever wondered at yourown mysteries of memory? The sillythings you remember—In dreams—andthe obvious things you forget In wan-ing hours? We were talking ot luncb,and the young man—a total alostalnerand non-smoker—said he always hadto get his lunch In the Strand—alwayswent to the same place. "Where doyou lunch?" i asked, being invitedto come with him. And the suddenquestion sent hlsf-hand to hla brow."Confound it!" be exclaimed. "lf»a place just opposite the law courts-one name—but I can't for the moment—" I suggested two, but neither wasthe one. "I shall remember It whenI see It," saiid tho young man. Hehad lunched there five days a -weekfor months, and the sudden questionhad put the name out of his mind.

"I don't remeniber," is a. frequentanswer from' the witness box-whenthe sudden question Is put. And it Isoften--a-question such as any- manmlgftt be expected to answer offhand.It Would be a very Intelligent jurythat would understand the man who

not refflemt)er^wlreTBTisrrancfiea~every day.. But there Is probably nota Juryman "bn the Usta -who could nottell a. story of his own sudden lapseof memory—T»hen the name, the dateof Importance had come under theblind point of the memory, just asthe eye has that blind point which,as you turn the head and watch thedot on the paper—misses It—and thenregains it.—London Chronicle.

WELL-SERVED.

A rather amusing incident occurredduring the erection of a factory inLancashire.

A new hand, an Irishman, had beentaken on as laborer, and the signalfor mortar was a sharp whistle.__•

Just below the bricklayers, iwhowere taking up the walls, were'thejoiners, who happened (to be fixing thef l o o r - j o i s t s . _ _

One day a happy thought struck oneof them to play a trick on Paddy.Presently a whistle was given, where-upon the new hand filled the hod withmortar and ascended. When, he got tothe top the bricklayer said:

"I didn't whistle for any mortar.""I thought you did," said the Irish-

man. ,"I didn't. So go down again, and

don't bring any more until I whistle."A few minutes elapsed, when a

sharp whistle was heard again. Upwent our friend, and, with an air ofcertainty, said:

"Sure and' you whistled this time?""I didn't," said the bricklayer."Then who did whistle?" angrily

demanded Pat."I don't know," said the bricklayer,

'unless it be them joiner chaps down.here." ."• '- •-

Whereupon the. Irishman, turninground and emptying the contents of,he heads of the men, shouted glee-'ully:

"And whlstlo when you want somemore."
