Tlio Cowles* and Woman lens Idle. 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 public.

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.

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.

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. — Youth’s Companion.

HARD FACTS ABOUT GLOVES. Illustrated by the Experience of Two Women with u Shop Girl. The "Treasure*' Rtnte. 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. Juliau Ralph >» Harper’s.

If one cannot secure a record-breaker it is at least possible to double and treble tbe yield of the cows, and at a small coBt, by using pure-bred males. No farmer should be satisfied to stand still, but should improve his stock every year." ■ I ie a Pitr. From Music nnd Druma. It is a pity to deceive a child to keep it quiet. It is a pity that we cannot all get what we want. It Is a pity that men will drink whisky in hot weather. It is a pity so many people are false when they might be true. It is a pity that some women nre foolish and some men wicked. It is a pity we cannot all get a long vacation from work and worry. • It is a pity that human nature is so weak and temptation so strong. It is a pity that all cannot abandon what burdens their conscience. It is a pity that so many misunder standings and mistakes occur between friends. It is a pity that we cannot let others alone In their affairs and that they in terfere in ours. It is a pity that we cannot run the world our way, but it Is good for the rest of the world that we cannot. —“Too much of a good thing”—That last bottle of champagne. Oh* What m Cengh.

It also became immediately darker, but not black like the grown up speci mens. Otherwise it only emits the hissing sound, which, however, is not a true hiss, hut more like the sound pro duced by the expulsion of our breath with the tonguo against the teoth. At night it changed its color, growing gradually paler as the day closed, and becoming almost white as tho darkness set in. If disturbed or touched it immediately became dark, and thus remained until its an ger subsided.—Cor. Forest and Stream. 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 It properly.” And the much befrilled one went away feeling that there was something wrong in the state of Denmark.—New York Sun. *.*•«*- A r A GOOD MOVE.
