St. Coluuiba left Ireland in the
year of SOS with a dozen companions,
and .in the orenhig of Whit Mondaj
landed on the island of Iona, one ot
the Hebrides, which is reruarkuhU
for two reasons, i. e., from the tael
that St. Columba banished cows and
women from its sacred confines, and
also because of the different way,
the name of the island lias beer
spelled. During the thousand yean
following the closing of the Sixth
century the name was variously mu
dored ns I, li, la, Io, Eo. Hy, Hi, till,
Hie, Hio, Hu, Hen, Huy, Hiu, Y and
YL It is also known as feolmkill
I-colmnb-kille and Hii-cohuu-Uillu.
besides Iona, which is believed to lie
a misnomer, it being thought tfiul
the "u" should'really be’"u."
When Columba landed on this par
tieulnr Hebride he gave orders that
no cow or women should l>o admitted
“Because," ho argued, “wherever
there is a cow there will bo a woman,
and where there is a woman there
will be mischief.” To this day the
chief reasons why the tourists visit
Iona in such numbers is because it is
known to tradition us “the Cowless
and Womanless Isle."—St. Louis Re

A rretty Story.
It was Archie Cole’s wedding day.
From boyhood he had been late at
school, late at church, late at meals,
late everywhere. “I'll wager,” said
his brother John, laughing, “that
you can’t be first even to kiss your
bride at the wedding I" “Oh, I’ll not
bo Into then," spjd Archie.
' Tyva hours later Archie stood with
the’pretty mniden by tlie flowers in
the parlor of her honte. The guests
were seated. The minister rose.
Archie's failing mid John's predic
tion wore known, to them All. Never
theless Archie knew he should not bo
late Upw, for his dear old mother
had iniide ull the guests promise not
to precede him in kissihgthe hrifle.
The solemn vows were said softly,
and tlie fervent prayer was spoken
slowly, while a robin could he heal'd
Binging on tho lawn.
'“Antonia said tho minister.
Archie, hewed to kiss his bride; but
ho paused for an instant, he smiled,
he blushed. A sunbeam stealing
through 11 rift in tho heavy curtuing
was trembling gently on the bride's
lips.
“I've won the bet!” cried John.
Tho guests laughed, and tho
preacher, too, while the victorious
sunbeam 'danced on the hyacinths
and lilies.—You tit's Companion.
The Wooden Horne.
The wooden horbe is a un.iqtie con

sufficient speed to give the best hi

at a three minute gait The prin
cipie on which tho machine is run is
simple. It is composed only of two
cog wheels, an eccentric axle and a

On this shaft the hobby horse rests.

on four wheels. When astride the

Thousands of well-meaning and pro
gressive farmers arc to-day, feeding
cows that do not exceed 200 pounds of
blitter In a year. Compare such cows
with the record-breakers and the con
trast, Is great. One cow does the work
of five, yet she may not lie more costly
to keep thnn an Inferior one. The first
cost is for the support of the nttlimt!;
hence five Inferior caws nre more cost
ly, proportionately, than one choice
ntilmal, nnd they require five times ns
much room, live times ns much food to
support the bodies, five times ns much
cleaning and attention, and live times
us much pnsture. The 1,000-pound cow
is oheap compared with the 200-pomiU
cow.

Bird, and Tree..
A European naturalist points out
an interesting fact about birds and
trees to which, he says, no attention
has hitherto been paid. This is that
certain species of birds show a prefer
ence for particular kinds of trees.
According to the observations of this
gentleman jays and rooks prefer the
oak, finches tho lime tree, black caps
the laurel, thrushes the birch and
the ash and woodpeckers the beech,
while the nightingale loves especial
ly to frequent groves of nut trees. —

Montana is the largest of thonewly
admitted states; in fact, it is as largo
as Washington nnd North Dakota
combined. It is one-sixth larger than
the United Kingdom of GreatBritain
and Ireland. It is the third state in
the sisterhood, ranking next after
Texas, and California. It contains
148,770 sqilare miles, and is therefore
the size of the states of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary-'
land, Virginia and West Virginia all
rolled; together. It is about S40 miles
in length: and half as wide. As it is
approached fl'om the east it seomB to
he a continuation of the hunch grass
plains-lnurt which makes up nil of
North Dakota.
; Bht nlniost ail at once upon enter
ing Montana the monotony of the
great plateau is relieved by its dis
turbance into hills, which grow more
and more numerous, and tako on
greater and greater bulk and height,
until when one-third of the state has
been passed the earth is all distorted
with mountains and mountain spun.
These are the forerunners of the
Rockies, which, speaking roughly,
make up the final or western third
of this grand und imperial new state.

It is a pity so many people are false

Whore the Pot of Gold Was.
At a "rainbow tea,” given to re
plenish a Sunday school treasury, a
beautiful rainbow spanned the room
diagonally from comer to comer. It
was elaborately constructed on a
frame which had to he put up in
seven sections, so large was the span
desired. Delicate hued cheesecloth
was drawn on in folds which indis-
tinguishably blended into each other
in faithful reproduction of the pris
matic colors, giving a remarkable ef
fect of the actual bow of promise.
In the hall beneath this unique or
nament seven tables were grouped
in a wide circle around a floral tem
ple of green, each table set out in its
suitable colors. At one end of the
bow was not a pot of gold, but large
gilded pots from which lemonade
was ladled. The real pot of gold was
in the treasurer’s box when the eve&-
ing was over.—Her Point of View in
New York Times.
Weeping Trees.
Travelers in Washington and Brit
ish Columbia frequently toll of seeing
trees dripping with moisture when
neither rain nor dew were present
The strange sight is said to be due to
the remarkable condensing power of
the leaves of some of the fir trees,
which, when the humidity of the at
mosphere closely approaches the dew
point, collect the moisture from the
air until the drops fall to the ground,
giving the tree the appearance of
weeping. The same phenomenon is
said to be met with in different species
of trees in Guinea and the Ferra is-
lands.—-Philadelphia Ledger.
They wore two women, and each
was buying a pair of new gloves.
One was dressed in a pale green
t own, which had swept part of
irondway and was elaborately trim
med about the bodice with coarse
white laceiuid jet, while on her head
was a small hat with u toll, taper
ing crown; tho brim wns of stiffened
lace, tlie flowers pinjc l-oses, ,nnd
from tho back hung £wo long green
btrcainciu ' , i ..
Tho other woman had on-, a plain
cloth gown, the skirt of which es
caped the street, a refined little bon
net that boro tlie stamp of a first
class milliner in its air of good
stylo, and slio carried hi hor hand n
plnin, closely strapped sun umbrel
la, which, if you looked closely ut
it, you disovered had for its handle
n bit of real—not imitation—Dres
den. Eucli wanted a pair of white
gloves. Now tlie Indy whoso attire
wns decidedly conspicuous demanded
n mousqnctairo glovo with four but
tons and an elaborate setting of lace
on the hack below tho wrist.
She put out her hand nnd asked
for n No. (J glovo. Tlie girl who
wns to fit hor looked nghnst.
Tho fingers were short, thick nnd
badly shaped; the hand wns broad
olid the wrist was fat. It was a hand
that ought to haro had what is
known os a short Angered eight on
it, but by exorcise of great strength
and marvelous patience it was forced
into tho six, with tho result that it
looked like a , pudgy pincushion,
When it wns buttoned all tho blood
in tho body seemed to liave settled
in tho mounds of flesh that pro
truded from between each button nnd
its neighbor.
Whilo she was waiting for her
change she watched the other woman
buy her gloves: First she set her
down in hor own mind 08'"juBt or
dinary and plain looking." Then it
dawned on tier that the skirt and the
well fitting bodice were evidently
cut by a master hand, that tho bon
net wob never made in New York
and that “she might alter all be one
of them quiet swells." ,
The quiet swell demanded, a plain
white undroBsed kid glovo, stitched
in white and closing with four Largo
buttons, and she requested that 61
would he given her. Tfie girl be
hind the counter reminded her that
she could wear a 54, blit she wild, “1
prefer tlio size I asked for." Very
easily did they go on the slender
hand; they were buttoned without
any trouble, paid for and the quiet
swell departed.
The other lady sat therewith an
air of dissatisfaction. Her gay gown
didn’t look quite right. She wished
she hadn’t had streamers put on her
hat; she looked down at her gloves
and they seemed wrong, and then
she turned to the shopgirl, who had
done for her exactly what she had
asked, and she said, “Why don’t fay
hand look like that lady's?” Even, a
worm will turn, and the shopgirl
Bald, “It takes' five generations of
gentlefolks for a lady to have a beau
tiful hand and to know how to drees

one went away feeling that there
was something wrong in the state of
Denmark.—New York Sun.
