There among them, its value all , w , ed, lay the long lost jewel, with I nothing to tell how it came into the possession of the hawker. To match this story one must turn to the experience of a Sussex clergyman. A ring which was an heirloom in his family was stolen from his keeping. Eighteen years passed, and not a word was heard concerning the article. Then it turned up inside one of the lingers of a glove lost at a in New Zealand. The finder had promoted the bazaar, was a relative of the owner of the ring and was the only person on that ride of the world who could have identified it. The owner of tie glove was one of a number of persons who had in turn possessed the ring. It had passed from hand to band all around the world, to come, at the antipodes, to the only person who could stay its further travels and restore it to the rightful Gazette.

Hand Organ Most of the monkeys that travel with shows and organ grinders come from the isthmus of Panama. These animals are captured by the natives in rather a way. They take a and cut a hole in it large enough to admit a monkey's paw. A string is then attached to the nut. The monkey is a very inquisitive little and when he sees one of these nuts he inserts his paw through the hole to find out what is inside. When the paw is closed it cannot be withdrawn, and as the monkey has not sense enough to open his paw the nut is dragged by the string the monkey with it to within reach of the captors, who throw a net over the monkey and in that secure him. the king of France sent daily to ask for his health.

Like Bird To what extremes physical de- formation, for the sake of comply- with certain fashions or as the fulfillment of ascetic vows, can be carried is explained by Dr. I. of Germany in his anatomical entitled He demonstrates that in all lands forms of malpractice have been indulged in. In old Peru, for in- stance, little children were placed under a bead press and their scalp were shaped oblong. This was the case with the daughters of the nobles and with the members of the royal families. The climax is reached, however, in the case of the Chinese ascetic who is set apart as a holy man to serve in the joss house, who does not perform any manual labor and permits his finger nails, with the exception of those on his index finger, to grow several inches long. Finally they become entangled and resemble somewhat the claws of an old bird. SUITS UP and PANTS UP. Made to Measure. Cleaning, Dying and Pressing. Ladies end clothing a specially.

You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by gain- virtues. Do not think of your faults, still less of faults. In every person who comes near you what is good and strong. Honor that, rejoice in it and. as you can, try to imitate it, and your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time Tattooing. It is quite common in and Samoa for a man to bear upon his arm or body a certificate of his birth winch is practically indelible. Tat- is carried on in these islands to an absurd extent, and it is the practice to tattoo on the hand of a mother the date of her children's births. Sometimes an enthusiastic father will tattoo the date of the birth on the child itself, and no how lung it lives the certificate will remain easily decipherable. In some adjoining islands every child is tattooed almost from head to foot on its completing its twelfth year. The result is very remarkable, if the child is growing rapidly, so that the spaces between the tat- too murks increase in size year by year. Too Many For Him.
