Only a Minor Difference.?An artist relates that a newly betrothed lover commissioned him to paint a certain secluded nook in the rocks on the shore, because there he had declared his passion. The picture was painted but before it was done the lover said to the artist: "Of course, I will see you through on that picture, but our engagement is off, and naturally, it would be painfully suggestive to me. If you can sell it to somebody else, I will take another picture, and be extremely obliged besides." The painter assented to the arrangement. but within a week his patron presented himself. "It's all right," he announced. "I'll take that picture." "Am I to congratulate you on the renewal of your engagement?" the artist asked. The other seemed a little confused, but quickly recovered his self-possession. and laughed as he said: "Well, not exactly: it v.as the same place, but the girl was different." Expensive Flowers.?The conversation in a Washington club turned to flowers the other night, when Congressman James L. Slayden of Texas, unfurled a gentle smile. He said he was reminded of the declartion of a certain Mr. Smith. Smith was walking through the suburbs with a friend one afternoon, when they came to a house where the gardener was doing the spring planting. For a moment they stood and watched the work. "Speaking of flowers," remarked Smith as the pair passed on down the street, "I doubt if anything along that line is quite so expensive as sweet peas." "Sweet peas," wonderingly returned the other. "I didn't know they were so very expensive." "Oh, yes," was the positive rejoinder e-i.1, "Thirteen dollars for a U1 Clllllll. small bouquet. I Just ruined a fivedollar pair of shoes, and an eight-dollar pair of trousers putting in the seeds at home." Probably.?At dinner one evening a discussion arose about the peculiar customs in foreign countries. One gentleman told of the Chinese customs which are nearly all the exact reverse of our own. "They use white for mourning, black for rejoicing, and mourn at a birth, while they rejoice at death," he remarked. "The needle of their compass points to the south and they draw the saw toward them to cut. These customs may easily be accounted for, but there remains one which I cannot explain. Why do they take their soup at the end of the meal instead of at the beginning?" Another man ventured: "To fill up the Chinks, probably.":?Exchange.

STORY OF AN ANCIENT FRAUD How Daniel Confounded the Priests of Bel. This is a story of the prophet Daniel which is not found in the Bible, but is told in the Apocrypha, that bundle of rejected manuscript which once formed part of the Old Testament. There was in Babylon, that great and wicked city that flourished like the green bay tree, a temple to a god called Bel; there every day offering was made of six groat measures of fine flour, and forty sheep and six vessels of wine. These things the priests or Bel declared, the god demanded for his refreshment, and unless they were provided, he would assuredly become angry and breathe out destruction upon the city. Now, the prophet Daniel stood high in the counsels of Cyrus of Persia, who ruled over Assyria in those days, and the king and Daniel were talking one day concerning gods and the worship of them. A Man-made God. "How does it happen," asked King Cyrus, "that thou being a wise and devout man dost not worship Bel?" "Because I do not worship idols made with hands," answered the prophet, "but only the living God, who hath created heaven and earth and hath sovereignty over all flesh." "Ho." said the king, "How canst thou say, wise Daniel, that Bel is not a living god? Doth he not devour every day forty sheep and six fat measures of flour, and of wine six brimming ves- c sels?" f Then Daniel smiled and answered: f "Mv lord the king is brave and a 1 man of great wisdom, yet herein I per- 1 ceive he is like a little child. Bel does not eat the flesh and drink the wine, for he is compounded together of clay and of brass, the work of men's hands; his eyes do not see, nor is there any hearing in his ears." Called for a Test. Then the king's mind was filled with doubt and anger, and he called the priests of Bel, three score and ten, and told them the things that Daniel had said. "Prove to me," said the frowning king, "that this offering is devoured by your god, or you shall die. But if you prove the thing, then this man Daniel, who condemns your god, shall die." And Daniel said, "It is well spoken." Then the priests of Bel clustered together and held consultation, and he who was their chief, making obesance before the king, cried out: "O king, live forever. If it please the s king, let the refreshments for the great god Bel be brought to the tern- f ole today, as the custom is, and let the king then set his seal upon the doors of the temple, and in the morning, if the viands be not gone, then let our heads be forfeited." And the thing pleased the king. So the priests went out from his presence. "Surely," said the high priest of Bel to his comrades, "the simplicity of the mighty is a strange thing and past understanding." For there was a passage under the floor of the temple of Bel, with a door covered by an altar, so that the priests of Bel might pass in and out at will. Daniel's Strategem. That day the sheep and the flour and the measures of wine were set before the staring, brazen god, the king and Daniel seeing that the thing was done. And at Daniel's request, the king sent away all the rest then, and Daniel scattered over the floor a thin covering of ashes. Then they went out and the king's seal was set upon the gates of the temple. And that night, when silence brooded over mighty Babylon, the seventy priests of Bel came with their wives and their children through the j-??..-.1 nnH devoured the uiiuri~?i uunu nttj ?A..v v. flour and the meat and drank the wine, as was their wont, and went their way again, laughing at their own cunning and at the guilelessness of the 1 king. ( "It is good to think," said the chief j priest, "that tomorrow by this time the head of the meddler Daniel will roll in the dust, and his pestilent tongue be silenced forever." "Great is the god Bel," leered the . priest, who was next in rank, and thrust his tongue into his cheek. The King Convinced. ( Now, in the early morning came the ( king and Daniel to the temple of Bel, j and they saw that the seals upon the j doors were unbroken. j "Break the seal," said the king, "and j open the door." ? As the great door swung open Cyrus ? saw that the food and the wine were ? gone. t "Great is Bel, the god of the Assy- t rians," cried the king. ( But Daniel laughed, and laying his f hand upon the king's arm held him ? J i ?V,o . bacK wnen ne wouiu nave nnucu s temple. "Look on the floor, my lord," he f said, "and tell me what is there." j Then the kins looked, and then gave f answer: t "I see the fotoprints of men and of j women; yea, there be also the foot- r prints of children." t "The brood of the priests of Bel is f large," replied Daniel, "and there are < many mouths to be fed." ( > Then Cyrus the king was filled with $ rage, and he sent soldiers to take the f priests of Bel, and that day there were t slain three score and ten of them.

The Irishman is traditionally an idept in coaxing and cussing. No tonrue can equal his in varied and pictur>sque denunciation of an enemy; none :an so irresistibly wheedle a sweetleart. True, the English of an earlier generation. crude and tongue-tied lovers, vho never kissed the Blarney stone, vere wont to proclaim the Irishman as Ickle as he was fascinating. But that indent calumny scarcely survives tolay; it is an Englishman, E. K. Oakey, who, in a recent article on "Irish Courtships," eulogizes appreciatingly he superiority of the Irish peasant over, with his play of wit and fancy, n comparison with the stolen stupidiy of the English rustic wooer, or the heap sophistication of the cockney 'Arry and Arriet." Even in the disconcerting moment of ejection the Irishman retires with ,rrace?sometimes with a grace that urns defeat to victory. Through a lawthorn hedge in May, I had the avesdropper's guilty pleasure of overlearing an idyl in the lane on the farher side. Maureen had evidently just :aid "no" to Shaun. "Wish, thin, if it must be it must, ind if ye won't ye won't," he mourned, \Tont?OAn o 0V11 a whv vasn't ye born twins, so that I could lave had the half of ye?" "And if it's twin I was ye cud that," :onceded Maureen, sympathetically, for niver wud the one of me be giving re the go-by, except for Tim Flahtery hat's coming back the week with ex>ectations, as well ye know." "Thrue for ye, thin it's only the half if twins ye are!" sighed Shaun. " 'Twas >y the will of hivin and yed nothing to lo wid the matther; but Maureen ashore, 'tis yersilf and not hivin has the leciding which twin ye'll be. L'ave Timy expict his expictations fr'm toth>r wan, and thin l'ave yirsilf spake a vorrd to me, wid the sound there'd be n it if Timsy was out of it intirely." "It wud still be no," protested Mau een, but not very strenuously. "No, l'ave it be, and as many more loes of the same patthern as ye can ay yer swate tongue to," agreed Shaun 'for 'tis a man wid quare ears on him vud be able to be sure they was not ,'et. I am not!"

SOME OLD IDEAS The Symbolism of Colors, Jewels, etc., as Conceived by Ages. From ages of associations and race 'xperiences, the minds of men have :ome to attach various symbolic meanngs to the colors with which they lave become acquainted, says the Pathfinder, Just as superstitious beiefs have developed and in much the same manner as folk stories, myths md racial traditions have grown up. In lome cases the connection between he color and the symbolism attached o it is plain and obvious, and in oth ?rs it is obscure ana remote, oui u study of these colors and the things md qualities which they are understood to signify is no less interesting. White, has a religious meaning and signifies purity, innocence, faith, joy ind life. Red, especially in the ruby, signifies fire, divine love, heat of the reative power and royalty; in a poitical sense it is the color adopted by evolutionists. Blue, characterized by he sapphire, suggests heaven, the irmament, truth of celestial origin, jonstancy and fidelity. Yellow, the pjlden color, symbolizes the sun. th toodness of God, of marriage and aithfulness. Green, as exemplified in he emerald, speaks of the spring of lope, particularly of the hope of lmnortality and of victory. The laurel ind the palm are often mentioned and lsed as signifying these things. Ixve ind truth, or passion and suffering ire signified by violet and the imethyst. Purple and scarlet tell of hings good and true which have a ceestial origin. Black everywhere is symbolic of despair, darkness, earthiness, mourning, negation, wickedless and death. In like manner special sentiments lave been attached to the various lowers and combinations of flowers. >ut their significance is more or less irbitrary and difficult to understand. The ancients attributed marvellous jroperties to many precious stones tnd perns and it is still customrr.v imong lovers and friends, in making urthday, engagements and wedding presents, to notice the significance atached to the various stones. The agate, which is the birthstone >f those born in June, is regarded as nsuring health, long life and prosperty. The amethyst, the February birth stone, is considered a preventive of violent passions. The beryl sbrnifles verlasting youth and happiness. The doodstone, the birthstone of those mm in March, is taken to guarantee steadfast affection, courage and wislom. The carndian, which, with the merald, presides over the destinies of hose born in May, is a preventive of nisfortune.

The sardonyx is a token of married happiness. The topaz, November birthstone is indicative of fidelity and friendship and prevents bad dreams. The December birthstone, the turquoise, signifies prosperity in love.
