Sunday Is England.
Few people are aware bow strict
Sabbath is still legally ordained Id
England. The Lord's day observance
act forbids not only Sunday trading,
but also every possible occupation
walking, riding, rowing or any game
and strictly enjoins upon all subjects
over nine years of age attendance at
church. At the opening of every as
size the royal proclamation for the
preservation of morality is read. Feo
ple who are then present for the first
time are astonished to hear that the
monarch forbids and calls upon the
magistrates to punish absence from di
vine service on Sundays, any playing
of cards or other games of chance or
haunting of.public houses oil the same
day. Everybody found in an inn dur
ing service hours is liable to a line of
SO cents, the landlord to a penalty of
$2.40, and for a successful prosecution
church wardens are entitled to a re
ward of $10. As recently as 1804 Isaac
Walton, a manservant., was fined $J.80
for refusing to attend church on Sun
day when ordered there by Ids mis
tress. About the same time a mother
was prosecuted b.v her son and actual
ly imprisoned for not attending church.
Don't Di It "JuHt For Now."
Many young people form habits
which cripple and handicap them for
life by doing things "just for now."
They let things drop wherever they
happen to be "just for now," thinking
.that they will put the book, the tool,
the letter or the article of clothing lat
er where It belongs. When these young
people grow up to hauhood and wom
anhood, they find that the habit of
putting things down anywhere "just
for now" has become a tyrant that fills
their lives with confusion and disor
der. It takes no more time or effort
to put a thing where it belongs in the
fi''st place than it does later, perhaps
less, and the chances are that If you
do not do so at the proper time you
never will. Even if it costs you a lit-1
tie inconvenience at the moment to
put everything in its proper place, to
do everything at the proper time, the
orderly and methodical habits which
you cultivate in this way will Increase
your power and usefulness a hundred
fold and may save you much trouble
and mortification in the future. Suc

At a trial at Auburn, l'a., one of the !
witnesses was a green countryman
unused to the ways of the law, but j
quick, as it proved, to understand its
principles. After a severe cross exam- j
ination, says an exchange, the counsel j
for the government paused, and then,
putting on a look of severity, ex-'
claimed:
"Mr. WilUins, has not an effort been V
made to induce you to tell a different
story?"
"A different story from what I told,
sir?" (
"That is what I mean."
"Yes, sir; several persons have tried
to get me to tell a different story
from what 1 have told, but they
couldn't."
"Now, sir, upon your oath, I wish
to know who those persons are?"
"Well, I guess you've tried 'bout as
hard as any of them."

their wings It will be found sullicieut
to tie together with a thread three or ,

HE TOOK THE SHOWER EAJTH
And It Drove II I m From the ViKriu
ite Back to New England.
After a week of little journeys, strik
ing here and there a few miles to ab
sorb the Yosemite valley from a dozen
coignes of vantage, we were whipping
the Illilouette one afternoon for moun
tain trout, says the World's Work.
"Tomorrow," said a voice. "I shall
take a shower bath under the seven
teen hundred foot fall."
"You," said another voice, "are a
fool."
"Net at all," came back argumenta
tlvei.v. "The river's very low. What
there is of it turns to spray in the
first hundred feet; it will simply come
down like rain. Why, you'd go under
the Bridal Veil yourself. Only that's
prosaic. This Is something big. Come
tin."
"Not I."
But I was there to see. The water,
as he had said, came down, a consid
erable part of it, in rain and spray
that flew out on the wind incredible
distances. But to crawl down, dressed
in a bathing suit, closer to the main
stream that falls to the pool and upon
the rocks with a murderous swish" in
the air and a roar like a railway train
when it strikes was daring to fool
hardiness. At any moment a veering
wind might swing the whole mass upon
the tall, slim figure backing tentative
ly on all fours down the jagged talus
tyope, his eyeglass pebbles glinting
cheerfully. A steady breeze kept the
fall swung out a little the other way.
and the spray burgeoned out far up
the other slope. The roar was deafen
ing. All at once the wind shifted, the
water swung back, and 'in a flash the
human figure was blotted out In a del
uge that turned me sick. For a sec
ondthat seemed an hour it played
on the spot fiendishly, it seemed to
me, standing horrified there, and then
slowly it swept away.
And then there was a movement, a
painful, crawling movement, down there
on the slopy. and I scrambled down the
slippery rocks to help a blinking, creep
ing, much surprised youth, bleeding
from a hundred cuts, up to where his
clothes lay. He was still too dazed to
speak. When his breath returned and
his extra glasses were perched again
on his nose, he said:
"The oceans fell upon me! For God's
sake, come back to New England!"
And we went.
NATURAL HISTORY.
Ostriches live to the nge of about
sixty years.
The uiaiidarin duck is one of the
most beautiful of aquatic birds.
So voracious is the cod that It will
swallow anything It sees in motion.
An eel has two separate hearts. One
beats GO. the other lliU, times a minute'.
A ladybird can travel 20,000,000,000
times its own length in on hour. In
that time a sloth can only travel fifty
times its own length.
Thera Is no country In the world in
which the raven is not found to be na
tive; it is also the only bird known to
ornithologists which is of such cosmo
politan character.
Only one existing reptile can sustain
itself in the air. This is the flying
dragon of the East Indies. It has no
real wings, but can glide from tree to
tree like a flying squirrel.
The common house fly usually pro
duces the note V in flying. To do so
it must vibrate its wings 333 times a
second. The honey bee sounds A,
which means that its wing vibrations
are 410 to the second.

Ill 17U0 a stone weighing fifty-six
pounds was exhibited in London. It
was said to have fallen from tb sky
lu Yorkshire in the previous December,
but this statement was received with
great incredulity. At that time Sir Jo

society, and he noticed a strong re..
Semblance between the Yorkshire stone
and one -sent to him from Siena, in It
aly, which was said to have fallen
from the sky. Two or three years lat
