KNOCKED FOR RAIN.
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.
