I have seen uiauy flat-topped kopje

the goldeu winds of Mogudur, but 1
have never seeu anything resembling
ltM Dilfchty uiuss which Is the dom
inant, the royul fact of the Cape I'e
uiusula. . . v. It in by virtue of Its
mass and the colossal buttressed
cliffs which form It walls that Table
tnouutalu Is majestic, as also by the
abruptness of Its rl.se from the visible
tea-level. The height of Inland moun
tains in a matter of faith rat lie r than

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL
Courag Is, of Courts, a Magnificent
Thing, But Should Be Regulated
by Prudtnce.
Courage It an Indispensable quality
lu our success; but If It Is not bal
anced and regulated by prudence It
will run away with us aud lead ua Into
all sorts of foolhardy thing. Boldness
U a great quality when it Is held la
check by proper cautiousness and
guided by good Judguieut. "-r
I know s man whose courage Is very
much over-developed and his faculty
of caution Is very deficient. He does
not kuow what fear means, and ht
plunges Into all sorts of foolish oper
ations which do not turn out well, and
he Is always trying to get out of
things which he bud gone Into hastily.
If his prudeuce had been equally de
veloped with his' courage, with hit bold
ness, he would have made a very
strong man.
Futile endeavors, half-hearted ef
forts never accomplish anything. It
takes the fire of determination, en
ergy, push, and good Judgment to ac
complish that which counts. It Is the
well-balanced enthusiastic man with
fire In his blood, and ginger ln,UU
brain, who makes things move and
achieves the seemingly Impossible.

Tht Kist In Ancient Folklore, '
A story of Alexuuder the Great anil
a kiss forms one of the most thrilling
bits of history. An eueiny of the kings
Invented a novel plot to cause Alexan
der's death. He discovered a beautiful
young girl, who, like Ruppacinl's
daughter in Hawthorne's story, bad
been brought up on deadly poison, and
every one who came near her was
killed by her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the king's palace with In
structions to do what would be called
"vamping" today. Alexander saw and
admired her extravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery.
Before lie allowed the girl to approacji
the throne he sent for a crlminul who
had been sentenced to death, and in
structed him to kiss the girl In the
presence of the king. He fell dead
on the ground, like one struck by light
ning. The same story appears In folklore
of India, and the early Christian
monks made great u.?e of It in their
sermons, personifying the Christian
as Alexander, conscience r.s Aristotle,
sin as the venomous girl, and the weuk
sinner as the criminal who was pun
ished. Disagree Over Famous Vine.
On Uoutioke island, off the North
Carolina coast, . stands an ancient
fecupisjruong vine. It is near the
grave of Virginia Dare and the site of
the "Lost Colony." Nobody knows the
age of that vine, but many nearby
vines, which seem more youthful by
comparison, actually are known to be
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vine
where it now stands, and further
claims are that it is the original Scup
pernong. Unimaginative investigators,
however, say that the origlnul Scup
pernong grew wild In Tyrrell county,
Noeth Carolina, along the Scupper
noug river; well before 17U0, and that
from this county the species found its
way to Kounoke Island.
8hoe-Throwing Old Custom. .
Throwing old shoes was not arways
confined to weddings, though the cus
tom nowadays has come to be asso
ciated entirely with the going away of
bridal couples. Authorities differ as
to the origin of the practice and Its
exact significance ; it seems, however,
us if It' had to do with tire transfer
of property women being regarded
as such among the nations in which
the custom began.
It was In the sense of confirming a
sale or exchange that the Jews un
derstood the removiil and giving of a
!ioe or sai dal. When the kinsman of
ISouz consented to waive his claim
upon the parcel of land which Naomi
would sell, he "drew off his shoe," for
"this is the eu.stoiu of Israel."
