(■ • Mi- OX Ci >l' N'YY I'KhSS, THUKSDAN. SEPTEMBER 19, 1901.
A CTiluoe Sti'athitem.
Rajah Suran, who was one of the
earliest rulers of India, overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
n», killed innumerable sultans with Ills
otvn hand and married all their daugh-
It is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
front lor they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council of hi«
generals and mandarins, and upon the
Wdvlee of a crafty old mandarin the
following strutegom was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When it arrived—the
luost wonderful part of the story is
that it did arrive—the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken the
vessel to make the trip from China.
Tli(?"Chinninen answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that, on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great trees
had grown. In corroboration of their
story tliey pointed to the rusty nails
which, they said, had been stout iron
bars as thick as a man's arm when
they started. "You can see," they con
cluded. "that China must be a very
long distance away."
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
Getting Pcrcon.il.
The favorite Scottish method of deal
ing with sleepers in church was pub
licly to denounce the delinquents. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the llcv. Walter Dunlap, min
ister of n United Presbyterian church
in Dumfries, saw a member of his flock
nodding while he was preaching, he
stopped suddenly and said:
"I (loot some o' ye hae taen ower
mony whey porridge the day. Sit up,
or I'll name ye oot!"
Another Caledonian preacher, on like
provocation, cried out, "Hold up yer
heads, my friends, and mind tliut nei
ther saints nor sinners are sleeping in
the next world."
Then, finding that this general ex
hortation was insufficient to deter a
certain well known member of the
church from getting his nig'.it's rest
forward, the reverend gentleman turn
ed toward the offender and said:
"James Stewart, this is the second
time I have stopped to waken ye. If I
need to stop a third time, I'll expose ye
by name to the whole congregation."
Dtckcna and Ilia Titles.
Charles Dickens had great difficulty
in. choosing titles for his various pub
lications, says The Golden Penny. The
following is a list of no fewer than 14
suggestions given by the author to his
adviser, Foster, for the title of one
book; out of which, need hardly be add
ed, No. (> was chosen:
1. According to Crocker.
2. Prove It.
3. Stubborn Things.
4. Mr. Grandgrind's Fuct».
5. The Grindstone.
G. Hard Times.
7. Two and Two Are Four.
8. Something Tangible.
9. Our Hard Headed Friend.
10. Itust and Dust.
11. Simple Arithmetic.
12. A Matter of Calculation.
13. A Mere Matter of Figures. ?
14. The Grandgrind Philosophy.
Sore of a Vialt.
As a rule, said a prison warden, a
man is In a despondent mood during
his first week's imprisonment. There
are exceptions, however, ns this inci
dent will show.
One Saturday about dinner time 1
was suddenly accosted by oue of the
new arrivals who had served the first
week of his sentence.
"I say," he remarked, "has a lady
been asking for me at, the gate?"
I told him that if he had been want
ed the governor would have sent for
him.
"Oh, very well. Keep cool," he said.
"This is the first time for ten years
I've putin a full week's work, and the

A Career Rmilnpr .Joke.
J This Is a true story about one of the
jmayors of Kansas City. Me was mayor
when the incident occurred, not so very
•many years ago. Two newspaper men,
both very good friends of the mayor,
were about to leave town, and they
asked Mr. Mayor to help them cele
brate their departure.
It was a hot day in summer, and aft
er an hour or two of convivial indul
gence the mayor of Kansas City was
very much under the influence of llq
tior. The newspaper men were feeling
jovial, but they were still able to walk
around. It iinally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing a
fruit wagon pass, one of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When lie drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether or not he wanted to
make .$2. lie replied that he most cer
tainly did.
It was then explained to him that a
drunken man would be stretched out in
his wagon, face toward the sky, and
that he must drive through all the busi
nf; s streets of the town ond then take
the man home.
Xot knowing who liis passenger was
to be, (he driver consented, and the
joke was carried out to the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven, nnd
there was a placard that announced the
cause of the strange plight fastened
on the back of the wagon. The mayor
was not re-elected.—Chicago Chronicle.
The Legend of (he Snowdrop.
An old legend gives the following as
the origin of the snowdrop: After Ad
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate.
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the flow
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wtapping the barren earth In a robe of
white.
As the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping, repentant wom
an he caught u snowflake, breathed
gently upon it and said:
"Take form, pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and bo a comfort to humanity,
now and forever."
. In a twinkling the snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower, as white and
pure as the snow itself, and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through lier tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed, but where he had
stood there immediately sprung up a
circle of perfect snowdrops.
An .Eolinn Harp.
To make an a-oiian liarp construct a
box of very thin pine, cedar or other
wood, live or six Indies deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with a length equal
to that of the window in which It is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue a strip of wood half an inch
high and a quarter of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden plus, like those of a vio
lin, to wind the strings around, two
pins in each end. Make a Sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of eaeh
string to a metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges, wind it around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. It is better to have
four strings, but a harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.
OriKln of the Word "Canada."
On April 20, 1034, Jacques Cartier
sailed from St. Mnlo, Brittany, with
two ships and <!1 men. for Labrador,
skirted Newfoundland, named Clialeur
bay, crossed the eastern end of Antl
eostl and then headed for France
again. The next year Cartier returned
with three ships, thought he saw In
the St. Lawrence the wished for pas
sage to India and was only undeceived
by the freshness of the way?r on reach
ing the mouth of the Saguenay. Then
was revealed the majestic size of the
continent, for, with the exception of
the Amazon and the Orinoco, no Amer
ican river gives one such a sense of
power and grandeur.
As the Frenchmen Inquired the
names of the Indian villages along the
banks they were answered "Canada,"
a Mohawk word meaning village, but
which was applied by the Frenchmen
to the country.
ColerldKe'a Classification of Rradrra.
Coleridge says: "Renders may be di
vided into four classes—first, sponges,
who absorb all they read and return It
early In the same state, only a little
dirty; second, sand glasses, who retain
nothing and are content to get through
a book for the sake of getting through
the time; third, strain bags, who retain
merely the dregs of what they read;
foujgtli, mogul diamonds, equally rare
and valuable, who profit by what they
read and enable others to profit by it
also."
A nit of Evarts' Wit.
When William M. Evarts was secre
tary of state In President Hayes' cab
inet, ho said In an after dinner speech
at Omaha: "I like the west. I like her
self made men. And the more I travel
west, the moru I meet with her public
men, the more I am satisfied of the
truthfulness of the Bible statement
that the wise men came from the east: - '
Sunny.
