Do & qualls come literally out of a blue One charming spring morning we started out to sail from Tiberias to Capernaum, says 'a writer in the Travel Magazine. There was not a ripple on the water or a cloud in the heavens. But when we were a quarter of a mile from shore - our boatmen noticed a band of rough water rushing toward us from the other side of the lake.

But hardly had the been beached in a shelter- ing cove when the wind was blowing down on us from the mountains and the heavy break- ers were foaming along the shore as far out into the lake as we could see. A quarter of an bour later later the Sea of Galilee was again ag level as a mirror, and only a soft, warm breeze was blowing over the smiling waters. --_-- A GENTLE LAXATIVE FOR THE BABY nr Stomach and bowel troubles is the cause of nine-tenths of the ail- ments from which little ones suf- fer.

She has not been there very long, and has not had time to learn the language. But she is generally pleased with her English life, except that she finds that it rains a great deal, and that the sky is often gloomy with the smoke of the great city. The other day she was sent by her mistress to accompany Miss Jenny, the daughter of the house, in Hyde Park. When she arrived there, and was about to cross the Row, she was brought to a stand- Knowing that the English are serious peo- ple, who do not waste their time merely for the pleasure of wastin it, she waited to see what woul 'i happen. - - | And presently the King and the Queen went by on horseback.

A new kind of fruit has been dis- covered in a garden at Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. It is neith- er a gooseberry nor a black cur- rant, and yet possesses the qualities of both. The wood is distinctly that of a gooseberry, but the berries, which are as large as a cherry, and maroon in color, 'are growing in bunches exactly like those of black currants, while the flavor is difficult to define. At the Dunstable Horti- cultural Show it was agreed that a new fruit for the table may be the outcome of the strange cross.
