At a recent dinner, one' of the speakers related the story of a visitor to a Sunday school who, in addressing the children, said: "I come from Massachusetts; I am on my way to Maryland, and I have stopped over here to talk to you children and to save you from going to hell."

"From Massachusetts," was the reply in a chorus. "Where am I going," he then asked. There was a pause, his geographical route had evidently not been deeply impressed on the gathering.

Some tima ago in Devonshire there were a pair courtiDg named John and Mary. They had been courtiDg for several years, when Mary began to think John was rather backward in popping the question, so she, being aDxious to get married, thought she would try a scheme of her own. While out walking one day she said blushingly, "John, what do you think all the people in the village are siyingf" $ I don't know," said John. VWell, they all say that we are going to get married." "Ab, ah," said John. "Now we'll show them they're mistaken, and we woj't get married."

The Scepter. The scepter was the emblem of power. As the silver wand, so familiar in cathedrals, was once hollow, containing the "virge" or rod with which chastise ment was inflicted upon the choristers and younger members of the foundation, so the royal scepter represented the right to inflict punishment Hence the expression "to sway the scepter" implied the holding of regal dignity. The scepter with the dove possessed the additional signification of the Holy Ghost, as controlling the actions of the sovereign. The same idea was conveyed at Reims by the beautifu, ceremony of letting loose a number of doves at the coronation of the French kings.?Good Words. Crashed.

I LOOK LIKE FLATIRONS. Cnrious Stone Implement* of Our Aborigines Puzzle ScientiMts. Among thousands of curious objects of utility, weapons, etc.. of the races that peopled North America in prehistoric times that one sees in the cases and cabinets in the Smithsonian institution are some five or more curiously wrought stone objects from mounds in Tennessee bearing such a close resemblance to modern flatirons that many people have thought that such might have been their use among their prehistoric makers, although it would be hard to imagine what the primitive aborigines of this continent had to iron. The shape and appearance of these objects in every way correspond with a modern fiatiron. handle and all, and thus far scientific men have been unable to discover what they were used for. It is, however, just a little singular that wrought stones, similar to the ones from the Tennessee mounds, have 1 ^ t)a?ii nmAnff tliA tnmhc nf LMieil lOUUU iu JL ci u auiuuq iui. iv/io the Incas and at the necropolis of Ancon. The old Spanish writers, men who accompanied Pizzaro in the conquest of that country, state that the ancient Peruvians, who were great builders, used these wrought stones, or so called flatirons, as trowels in plastering walls with mortar. The objects found in one of the Tennessee mounds are the only ones that were ever found in the United States, and the only way to account for their presence in that locality is to suppose that in pre-Columbian times a great deal of Peruvian material reached countries far to the north of the isthmus by means of intertribal trade.?

The leaders of a flock of migrating wild geese become tired sooner than others and are frequently relieved by their fellows. The gray buzzard is said to be the heaviest bird that flies, the young males, when food is plentiful, weighing nearly forty pounds. The bird is nearly extinct The terrapin lives largely upon crabs. He never eats his food, but bolts it His favorite tidbit is the crab's claw, which he swallows whole with the greatest relish. The glowworm lays eggs which, it is said, are themselves luminous. However, the young hatched from them are not possessed of those peculiar properties until after the first transformation. A whistling moth is au Australian i rarity. There is a glassy space on the wings crossed with ribs. When the moth wants to whistle, it strikes these ribs with its antennae, which ha^e a knob at the end. The sound is a love call from the male to the female. Repaid In Kind.
