In Lapland the crime which. after murder, is pulished with the greatest severity is that of marrying a‘ girl against the, wishes of her parents. : When a suitor makes his appearance I he says nothing to the maiden, who 3 often does not know who he is, but her l ? parents inform her that she is sought i in marriage. Shortly afterward. on a --.â€".â€". day appointed, the girl, her parents, ; friends and suitor all meet together at E a feast, and the young man and maiden ' are placed opposite. so that they can look at each other freely and can talk with comfort. After the meal is over ;the company repair to an open space, a where “the race for a wife” is r.un The l usual distance is about a quarter of a mile, and the girl is placed a third of the distance from the starting point. If she be fleet of foot she can easily reach the goal before her suitor, and g in that case he may never trouble her again. If. however, he has found fa- vor in her eyes. all she has to do is to " lag somewhat in her flight, so that he ‘ may overtake her. If she desires to intimate to him that his love for her is returned she may run a little way . and then turn with open arms to ac- : cept him. alone?” (whieh, of course. would be one of the first remarks :1 French trav- eler would have occasion to make) it is only necessary to consult the "Non- velles Methodsz” “Aou isite, miss; oueune so tcharminx‘lgue annde pretti ouakinngne alanne?" If the traveler goes to the theater the man at the box office may say, “Oui have onli orches- tre stalls lait‘te, beute allow me tou rimarqne sat se are se best sitce for sinngenle dgeentlemene.” Evidently “th” is given up as a bad job, and “j” is as difficult for the Frenchman as for the German. though a German manual gives John Bull as “Dschonn Bool.” The strangest of the underground worlds in France which I visited was one devoted to the raising of mush- rooms. Its limits seemed unbounded. as indeed they were, for it pierced the hillsides in every direction. We entered through an opening under an orchard of cherry trees. During: “harvest time" :1 crop is gathered every twenty-four hours. Three men, with their great baskets, make the rounds of this under- ground farm 03 (113 1110111in;._. and every day in the year can count on an im- mense crop, which they ship to the large cities near by and even several miles away.

Persons who have worried through a “Ifrench Manual" may get some sat- isfaction from the thought that with their own language they are revenged upon the Parisian. “Methods Avec Prononciation" is a little book which makes straight the way of the Eng- lish language for French tongm‘s.

'I‘he beastly \‘itellius, as Gibbon calls him, spent at least six millions of money on table in as many months. He invented, or his cool; invented for him, a dish which he designated “the Shield of Minerva.” One of its principal in~ gredients was flamingoes’ tongues. of which both Pliny and Martial speak in enconiiastic terms. Dampier says that the flalningoes have "large tongues, and near the root is a piece of fat which is accounted a great dainty.” When Captain Owen was surveying the east coast of Africa his sailors shot down hundreds of these beautiful birds in order, with an extravagance worthy of Yitellius. to make a dish of the tongues alone. Historic Albania. Albania lics 180 miles on the Adriatic sea and is fifty to a hundred miles Wide. It was formed originally. says “’illiam Jackson Armstrong in his “He- roes of Defeat." from part of Ilyris. all of Epirus and part of Macedonia in the eleventh century. From this t~rritory Sprung Pyrrhus, who defeated the Ito- man invader; Philip and Alexander of Macedon, the conquerors; Perseus. Whose fame as a soldier covered the World sixty years after Christ. and Skz‘mderheg. who for forty years de- feated armies sent against him by the Turk. Ancient Albania lay in Asia, just east of the Caucasus. His Busy Day. Customer (to printer)â€"You promised to have my work done yesterday. and you haven’t touched it yet.

The darting dragon is a clever toy out of which you can get a good deal of fun. If you have a sharp knife and some pieces of thin wood you can make the dragon yourself, and that will be interesting. As a rule, a boy gets more pleasure out of a toy he makes himself than he does out of one that is bought 3 V for him. Try this one and see if that I is not so. . i To make this amusing toy get a num- ; ber of pieces of thin wood. each one ? three or four inches long. half an inch i wide and not much thicker thanthe wood of a cigar box. Arrange them as in the picture, pivot them with a short nail with a large head and ar- range the dragon (made out of a large piece of thin wood) as shown. By put- ting the thumbs into the hole shown at the other end and working these han- dles as you would a pair of scissors the dr: gon will dart bac ; and forth. The end pieces, or handles. must be large enough to permit of making the holes for the thumbs. as shown. A body to the dragon may be made of light col- ored cloth or -alico. The nails for the pivots must be malleable, so they will bend over after being driven. How a Rose Was Named. Many flowers owe their names to fa- mous people. Among the number are the dahlia, named for Dali], a Swedish florist; the magnolia. for Magnol. a celebrated French botanist, and fuch- sia, for Fuch, a distinguished German savant, but there is only one instance known when a man and a flower re- eeiwd a title at the same moment. This is how it happened: \thn Niel, a brave French general, was returning from the scene of his victories in the war between France and Austria he received from :1 peasant. who wished to honor the hero, :1 basket of beautiful yellow roses. One of the stems, which happened to have roots clinging to it, the general took to a Ilorist in Paris, in whose care it remained until it became :i thriving hush covered with blos~ SOlllS. Niel then took the plant as; :1 gift to Empress Eugenie. She expressed great :nhnira‘rimx for the exquisite flowers, and on learning that the rose was mum-less said significantly: “Then I shall name it. It shall be ‘the Mare ehnl .\'iei.’ ” And at the same moment she. lmzin red upon the uswnished gen- eml the jeweled baton that betokened his I'm-mmtion to the high office of nmreclmi of France. Take :1 table two and :1 half feet across. With chalk draw :1 tiny circle the size of a dollar, and around that draw three other circles. each about three and a half inches apart. The center spot counts 20, the circle around it 15, the next one 10, the outer one 5'). Each side takes about fourteen check- ers. flipping them in turn. one at a time. with the thumb and middle fin- ger toward the center. The object is to keep rour men in the middle circle. l‘o 14124-4.- { \our opponent’s checke: 3 off the board uith )our oxxn )ou must Going to Do For Mother. It is difficult to be patient with a boy who boasts that he is going to do so much for his mother “when he’s a man” and who will not even do so much as study his lessons for her now. The present work. whether it is adding a column of figures. or building a fire, or doing an errand. is the work that is the true test of_ love. People who do not do their best today will not do it tomorrow. Do not forget that today is yesterday’s tomorrow. How have you fulfilled yesterday‘s promises? A Little Mixed. At the examination of the lowest class the pupils wore asked. “What are the three chief occupations of Mich-i- gan and how are they carried on .‘3” One pupil wrote as follows: Came In Itself. A mother once said to her little son, 5 who always forgot to wipe his shoes on the door mat, “Harry, did you bring : that mud into the house?” "No, mamma.” repiied Harry. “It just stuck to my shoes and came in itself." ' l i “Apples, potatoes and celery. They are carried on wagons.” . The Roonter.

We are forever children. When we are infants we cry for the moon: when we are grown up we cry for happiness. And we always cry for the wrong thing because we never know what is good for us. It is a man's lot to mis- take his wants and to be disappointed. It is his. purpose in life always to grasp for the useless thing, to strive for that which has no merit. to hope for that which perishes as soon as he holds it in his hands. We have. our ideal of happiness, but we endeavor to realize it in ways which are not good for us. Happiness. as we perceive it in this terrestrial sphere. is a saddcning illu- sion. It never lasts. because it cannot. It never satisfies. because it is not made to satisfy. The land of El Dorado for- ever remains east of the sun and west of the moonâ€"that is, nowhere. It is the fatal morgana. the mi 'age of the desert of life. Happiness remains happiness while it is an illusion. Mor- tality is not made to hold and to enjoy it. It is mortality‘s lot to chase jack 0’ lanterns-{o cry for the moon. which cannot be obtained because it hangs so high up in the heavens. The Last of the Ruth.
