R o g u ish Ravens. The raven of southern Europe is a bold fellow—uot unlike his cous in. the crow. Sonic notices of the bird, given by an English traveler in Corsica, offer amusing proof of this. A youth whom I employed to car ry my camera could never look on ravens with any equanimity, for he had suffered much from their thiev ish impudence when sent to the bush to gather firewood. On one occasion he lost his dinner, a loaf of bread wrapped in a napkin, al though he was working close to the spot where he had laid it and had turned his back for only a minute. But the most unpardonable insult he had ever received happened on a day when he was out gathering wood. As he was stooping down to bind a bundle of fogots a raven suddenly swooped from behind, lift ed the cap from his head and flew away with it to a lofty crag, from which she uttered croaks of tri umph. The cap was subsequently seen lined with straw and serving for a nest. In the year 1 Ci>4 it «as discov ered i>y actual experiment that a diamond would burn. Then Cosmos 111. had one fixed in the focus of a burning glass, and after some ex posure to the rays of the sun it cracked, corruscutcd and finally dis appeared like a ghost, leaving not a single trace that it had ever ex isted. not even an atom of ashes. But experiments of this sort were costly. They were long in yielding any scientific result. It was only a k.ng or a sovereign prince that could afford to see his jewels vanish like the gifts of a fairy godmother. Another potentate, Francis 1., tried the quality of a number of valua- ble diamonds in the heat of a fur nace and may have felt some grati fication when he found that they had disappeared. This was in 1730, and about twenty years later scien tific experimenters burned a magni ficent diamond in Paris. A jeweler named LeBlanc now came forward and denied the pos T h« Sack T rea. sibility of burning a diamond, even Before the advance of civiliza going so far as to accuse the chem ist Macquer of fraud in conduct tion trees provided the principal ing h's diamond burning opera articles of “clothing” for inhabit tions.

D. <\ - name. The disease or diseases spoken of us leprosy in tlte Bible are p>>|>- ularly supposed to be the same as the leprosy of today, and the evi dent fear the leper inspired in the people of old is held to justify the dread with which he is still regard- ( ed. The Biblical descriptions do . not, however, fit modern leprosy, so that, whether the fear of the ' “leper” of olden times was or w.ts 1 not justified, it should not tie al lowed to color the view with which the lepor of today is regarded. Leprosy is indeed an infectious disease—that is to say, it is due to the presence in the tissues of a ba cillus known generally as Hansen's baeill us, after the Norwegian phy sician who discovered it. But whether it is contagious under the ordinary conditions of modern life, in temperate climates at least, is hHd by specialists in diseases of the skin to be very doubtful. Of the few lepers known to the physicians in all the larger cities some are cared for in hospitals and others live at home and visit the clinics or the doctor’s office from time to time. Vet an instance in which another person has acquired the disease from any of these lepers is unknown. There are many diseases more to be dreaded than leprosy because more rapidlv fatal, more puinfnl or more contagious. Vet none of them, except perhaps smallpox, is more feared. The illogical terror of leprosy may be the cause of great cruelty to those afflicted. There are thou sands of people who show culpuble indifference to the enforcement of the laws against spitting in public places, although they know full well that the success of the crusade against tuberculosis hinges largely upon care in this regard. Yet these same persons would fly in horror from any place that hud harbored a leper.— Youth's Companion.

John Wesley oucc had a disa greement with Joseph Brudford, his traveling companion of many years, and they agreed to part. They re tired for the night, each firm in his determination and each doubt less deploring in his heart t*e sep aration soon to follow between two friends w ho had been so devoted and mutually helpful. In the morn ing Wesley asked Bradford if he had considered during the night their agreement to part. “ Vos, sir,” said Bradford. “And must we part?” inquired Wesley. “ Please yourself, sir,” said Brad ford grimly. “ But will you not ask my par don ?” demanded Wesley. “No. sir.” “ You won't?” “ No, sir.” “ In that case," said Wesley gen tly, “ I must ask yours.” It was not the ending which Bradford anticipated.
