Keaba of Mecca; and the great stone

',, Curious Lore,
It has been remarked as a curious
eircumstance that Bopaparte and Wel
fington were born ia the same year,
énd that Burns and Hogg, the Scotch
Doets, were Loth born on Jan. 25; but
ft 18 more remarkable that the two
greatest dramatic poets of modern Eu
rope, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both
died on the same day In the same
year, April 23, 1616. It is further re
markable that Shakespeare, like the
great Raphael and Sobieski, died on
the anniversary of his birth.—From
Fennell's Shakespeare Repository,:

@enuine Maple Sugar Scarce. ‘
There are few people outside the‘
maple sugar making districts, says &
writer in the Country Gentleman, whol
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken of is probably due in a degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten off the vine and cherries
consumed on the tree so delectable.
The writer quoted, however, puts some
of the blame for the poor flavor of
commercial maple sugar on the “‘wily,
wholeszle dealer and mixer,” - ]
Lightning and Concrete.
The effect of lightning on concrete,
which has long been a matter of dis
pute, has been observed by a leading
member of the Ameriean Society of
Civil Engineers, who has a reinforced
concrete water tank on his country es
tate. This was struck by lightning,
which caused no injury, but changed
the texture of the concrete in places
from granular to vitreous. The tank
was heavily reinforced.

The chief executioner of deathin the

found this to be Dr. King’s New Dis

. Love at First Sight.
Think of it! “No such thing as
love at first sight!” Why, the idea
is preposterous! Every man who was
once a boy, and every woman who was
once a girl, can testify by personal
experience that there is such a thing
as love at first sight, and even the
recollection of it causes the oldest
hearts to flutter again. Every writer
of novels and every reader of them
can add to the testimony of love at
first sight.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele

Steam of the Earth.
If dry earth is wet suddenly the

His Obligation to Nature.
Nature was his nurse and playfel
low. For him she would let slip be
tween the leaves the golden shafts of
sunlight that fell just within his grasp:
she would send wandering breezes to
visit him with the balm of bay and
resinous gums; tc him the tall red
woods nodded familiarly and sleepily,
the bumble bees buzzed, and the
rooks cawed a slumbrous accompani
ment.—Bret Harte.
Baw Nothing of Value in Pearls.
When the army of Galerius sacked
the camp of the routed Persians a bag
of shining leather filled with pearls
fell into the hands of a private sol
dier, but the latter, while carefully
preserving the bag, threw away its
contents under the impression that
anything that could not be used for
useful purposes had no other value.

That is a good story of the charm

to partake for the first time of what
our English courins call “high meat.”
Pheasant, T believe it was, was about
to be served and the butler asked
her: “Wlil you ’'ave some of it stale
or ’igh, ma'am?’ And the guest gra
ciously replied: “You may serve me
a little of both its tail and its eye,
please.”

running from north to south. It is not
