And Within an Hour the Wind Veered and the Shower Came. Frances Gostling, author of “The Britons at Home.” has this curious tale of the dolmen of Roeeuaud. with its curious cup shaped impressions like the constellation Pleiades; An old wo¬ man, a bystander, was asked what the marks were for. “Folks say,” said she, “that they were made by the el¬ bows and knees of St. Rock. He fell down on this stone when he lauded from Ireland.” And then the old wo¬ man added: “We use the holes now when we want the wind to change. We knock in them.” The story con¬ tinues: “ ‘Do ask her to knock!’ I cried eagerly. There was a moment of hesi¬ tation on the part of the old woman, a half franc shown in a careless way, and ‘What wind would madam like to have?’ ’Southwest,’ said i, looking at the cloudless sky. “The old woman took up a flint and went slowly to the dolmen. Without any pause for reflection she knocked three times in a particular depression, murmnring some words 1 should not have understood even had they been audible. ‘Come.’ observed my friend; ‘we have yet time to see the rest of the peninsula.’ “The old woman said something, at which M. le Rouzic laughed. ‘She says that if we are going farther it will be best to be quick,’ said he. ’Why?’ ’The rain you asked for will be here shortly.’ And in less than an hour it was raining.” Early Earrings. The earring is not a modern inven¬ tion, for more than twenty centuries ago the daughter of Aristotle wore golden hoops. The philosopher’s daugh ter’s earrings were found in her tomb near Chalcis. in Euboea, by exploring archaeologists, and certainly modern workmanship cannot produce their equal. In each golden hoop swung a tiny dove, with precious stones for eyes and bands of minute gems to give the color of the iridescent breast and wings. The feathers were of gran¬ ulated gold, and the tail feathers were so marvelously wrought and adjusted that they acted like a balance, as in a living bird, so that the exquisite minia¬ ture creatures whenever the wearer moved or laughed or tossed her head would move and balance themselves upon their pendent perches. Worse Yet. Mamma—Johnny, you bad boy, you’ve been fighting again! Your clothes are so badly torn that I’ll probably have to get you a new suit, Johnny—That’s nothing, mamma. You just ought to see Tommy Jones. I’ll bet his mamma will have to get a new boy.—Chicago New’s.
