Ambition of tfcf Seeker
Where It I.ed Him.
In the sunrise df life a youth said: “I
will attain greutuess. I will mount to
the high places, uhove (lie groveling
throng, ami wealth, power and happi
ness shall be added unlo me.”
In the flush of the morning he strove
for all those things. At ldgh noon lie
had acquired wealth, and In the afler- -
noon power and fame came to him. It
wus as he had said, snve that lie, with
all the generations of men, found not
happiness. There had been friendships
and smiles and hand clasps and em
braces, hut none of these things secured
for him the tiling he sought.
In the evening he sat by an open
grave and pondered. Wayfarers saw
him there and wondered much. "He Is
one of the mighty of earth,” they said.
"He 1ms lands and tenements mid goods
He has friends and servitors and fawn
ing sycophants about him. Though we
seek In vain, he must hare found hap
piness.”*
They could not know that his palaces
sheltered blasted hopes, that tares grew
In his gardens, that the acclaim of the
mob jangled harshly In bis cars. They
did not see Ills yearning, the dead
dreams within him, the ashes in his
heart.
His search had ended at an open
grave. He drew Ills mantle nliout him
and descended Into It, while the pass-
' lug throng swirled by.
I At last, and without, his knowledge,
ho had found that happiness which he
long had sought. -New York American.

you want a brand new sensation, bring

pods on them and put them In vases

Haw the Bark I, Gathered and Fre- |*
pared For I'.e,
The cinnamon tree grows to a height I
of from twenty to thirty feet nnd Is j
sometimes eighteen Inches in thickness.
The leaves are from four to six Inches '
in length, oval shaped and marked
with three principal nerves. They taste
very much like cloves. Clu.nan.ou flow
ers are of a beautiful silky gray on the
outside and a light yellow on the In
side. The fruit is a small acorn shaped
drupe, imd when ripe it Is quite brown.
It Is, however, the hark of the cinna
mon tree that makes It valuable. The
Hnest conies from the Island of Ceylon,
where they have two seasons of ciunu-
tnon harvest. The first season begins
In April nnd the last In November. The
branches of three to live years' growth
nre cut down, nnd the epidermis is
carefully scraped away. Then the
hark Is ripped tip lengthwise with n
knife and gradually loosened until It
may he easily removed.
The slices of bark are then placed In
the sun to dry, and as they dry they
curl up Into quills, The next thing Is
to examine and arrange the cinnamon
according to Its quality. Tlio persons
whose work it Is to examine the clunu-
mon are obliged for this purpose to
taste and chew it, although hi u short
time It produces a very painful effect
ou their mouths and tongues.
As the cinnamon quills are examined
the smaller ones are inserted iuto the
larger, and the whole Is then tied up In
bundles weighing about eighty-eight
pounds each.
Iu Ceylon the oil of cinnamon Is usu
ally prepared by grinding the coarsest
pieces of bark, soak'tug this powder
In sea water for two or three days and
Hieu distilling. Two oils puss over, one
lighter the other heavier than wuter.

THE ANTELOPE.
HIh Two White Fetches That Act as
a Signal Code.
Visitors to the circus and menagerie
have noticed the two white patches on
antelopes. Those spots are a siguul
which cun he reud by the animals
which have noses to smell. Even ani
mals whose sense of smell lias been
lost can reud the messuge which the
antelope gives to warn his friends of
danger.
The hairs ou these patches are long,
wliite and ordinurlly point downward.
Among the roots of the hair Is a glund
which secretes a strong musk. Uuder-
t ueath the skin ut this point Is u broad
withering nnd to keep the seedB from ' sheet of muscles which have the power
being expelled too soon.
There will he great excitement when
the seed pods open with n snap nnd the
seeds come pnttering down. It is well
to rehearse this performance, for nat

when you want them to.—Country Life

The fly’s capacity for crime Is ex
tended by Its strength, which Is rela
tively nearly seven times that of a
horse, for It can lift twenty times Its
own weight. It can absorb enormous
quantities of oxygen and Is, lu fact, a
confirmed oxygen toper.
The reprehensible lmhlt of walking
upside down on the celling, to which
the fly Is addicted, Is due to Its habit
of exuding gum from each of the 1,200
hollow hairs Iti Its feet.
The fly, too, has an evil eye, which Is
divisible Into several other eyes. II has
also 1,700 or 1,800 parts all connected

One of the wonders of the California
desert Is the hot sand hath, famous
from the times of the first Spanish
pioneers. The surfaco water Is only a
few Inches deep. Beneath Is black
sund, constantly In gentle motion. The
bather does not touch bottom. His
body sinks to the shoulders nnd with
the aid of a erossliur of timber Is then
sustained In a position of perpendicu
lar flotation. The temperature Is just
as warm ns enu he comfortably borne,
and the sensation, like that of soft

Involution of a Name..
An amusing account is given of the
evolution of a name. A man named
Halfpenny lived In Dublin nt the end of
the eighteenth century. Having beeu
very successful In business, his chil
dren persuaded hint to change Ills name
to a more dignified one, which he did
by dropping the last letter. In thq
course of time the orthography wus
also changed, and when the mnn died
he was burled ns Mr. Hnlpen. The
fortunes of the family Increased still
further, nnd the son soon dropped the j 1
“H.” The next transition was an equal- J Il
ly easy one, and he who had run the !
streets ns little Kenny Halfpenny came
out ns Kenneth MacAlpln, the descend
ant of a hundred kings.—London

which he had cut from a cottonwood

Mrs. Benton stuck It In the ground at \

A Story of Thackeray.
There Is n story of Thackeray shortly
after the publication of “Vanity Fnir”
dining with a friend nnd receiving an
Introduction to his next neighbor, “Cap

Thackerny looked greatly annoyed,
scarcely opened his lips to this gentle
man and afterward told his host In an
aggrieved tone that “he liked a Joke as
well ns any man, but there was a time
and a place for all things.” No joking
allusion to n character of his novel
had. however, been designed or perpe
trated. The fellow guest actually was
