' Origin of Seals.
Tho origin of seals Is lost In the
shades of antiquity. In Assyrian nnd
Babylonian ruins scnls still lire found,
and It is certain that their use passed
from thoso countries to Greece and
Rome, to all Europenn countries nnd
from England to America. Originally
they were sot in rings. Tho earliest
references to them In Biblical history
is found In Genesis xxxvlll. whero It
is recorded that, pending certain nego
tiations between Judah and Tnmar,
tho widow of his son, Tnmar demand
ed a pledge nnd Judah gave her his
signet and other belongings. And
when Ahnb, king of Israel, tried to
buy Nnboth's vineyard and couldn't
bis wife Jezebel "wrote letters in
Ahab's name and scnlcd them with his
seal." In the Book of Esther, chapter
vlii, it is written that King Ahnsucrus
said to Esther and Mordecnl. "Wrlto
yo also for tho Jews, as It llkcth you.
in the king's name and seal It with the
king's ring, for tho writing which Is
written in tho king's nnmo nnd sealed
with his ring may no mnn reverse."
Seals doubtless wcro used long be
fore tho stirring events described In
the quoted chapter of Genesis, but no
one took tho trouble to write about
them. From the tlmo of Jcromlnb to
William tho Conqueror tbo pen was
practically unknown to king, noblo or
peasant, so tbo seal was absolutely
necessary. Kansas City Star.
The Lure of Money.
James R. Keene, who won nnd lost
fortunes and w,ho played with millions
of dollars as a child would play with
a heap of sand, was once asked why,
having wealth to satiety, ho did not
give up the ganio of money grabbing
and seek peace, comfort nnd content
ment. 1
Tho answer vouchsafed by Keeno
may bo regarded as that which would
bo offered by many nnother man If tho
snmo question wcro put to him.
"Why do I want moro money?" said
Keeno. "Why docs a dog want nn
other rabbit? Your dog will chaso tho
millionth rabbit ns though It wcro the
first ho bad ever seen. Ho will strive
and strain In the pursuit of it to tho
point of heartbreak. One might sup
pose his soul's life depended on tho
capture. And yet, should bo overtake
It, ho will cast it aside when killed
nnd begin quartering tho ground to
start another. To tho last gasp of his
breath that dog will chaso his rabbit.
When you tell nfo why that dog wnnts
another rabbit I'll tell you why I
want more money." Harry Furnlss In
Strand Magazine.
How Animals Learn.
Dr. T. Zcll. n German naturalist, has
collected many instances to prove that
animals lenrn by experience nnd thus
become wiser than their unlnstructcd
parents. Game animals of all kinds,
ho nvcrs, knvo learned tho range of
modern rlllcs. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab
bits or hares'. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels. Just as vul
tures follow an array. Crows begin to
accompany th chamois hunter ns
soon as they have seen the result of
his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after wlaged game. Tho number of
birds that kill or Injure themselves
by flying ngalnst telegraph wires la
much smaller than it used to be. Dr
Zcll also refers to the fact that
birds and quadrupeds havo learned to
dlsregnrd passing railway trains, as
horses quickly ceaso to bo frlghtenbd
by automobiles. Ills lnstnnces of tho
Intelligent election exercised by sheep
dogs nro familiar to all.

The Candle Tree.
One of the wonders of the vegetnble
kingdom Is undoubtedly the candle
tree of Panama, known to botanists
as I'armentlera eerlfera. This tree
produces froin Its stem and older
branches a great profusion of yellow
ish, cylindrical, smooth fruits, twelve
to eighteen Inches long, which appear
exactly like wax candles, as the botan
ical nnuie Implies. So close Is this
resemblance that travelers, seeing the
tree for the first time, are liable to bp
temporarily puzzled as to whether the
candles of shops are made In factories
or grown on trees! The candle-lllso
fruits are suspended from the branches
and bare stem by short, slender stalks,
dangling In the nlr. and readily give
the Impression of the chandler's shop.
As night falls nnd the numerous l re
ntes move uniting the fruit this Impres
sion Is Intensified. The Inexperienced
trnvcler Is not Infrequently Informed
that the fireflies perform the duty of
lighting up these "candles" nt night
when light Is required by the denizens
of the Jungle London Strand.
A Llch Gate.
A llch gnte Is a shed, generally of
oak. over the entrance of n church
yard, beneath which the bearers paus
ed when bringing n body for Inter
ment, nero tho clergyman met the
body nnd read the Introductory part
of the burial service as he preceded
the funeral train into the church. Ex
amples of old llch gates are still to le
seen In mnny country churchyards. In
Wales they nre more modern nnd nro
usually built of stone. Some of thu
old llch gntes are formed with one
wide door turning on a central pivot
and self closing by mentis of a rudo
pulley wheel In tho roof nnd a stouo
weight Inclosed in nn Iron frame, a
prlmltlvo but effectlvo pleco of ma

also called "scallago" or "scallongo"
gates. "Llch gate" is derived from

The Order of the Bath.
Tho last Knights of the Bath made
according to tho ancient forms were nt
the coronation of Charles IL, when
vnrlous rites ond ceremonies, ono of
which was bathing, wero enforced.
According to Frolssnrt. the court
barber prepared n bath, and the can
didate for membership In the order,
having been undressed by -bis esquires,
was thereupon placed In tho bath, his
clothes and collars being the perqui
sites of tho barber. He was then re
moved from tto water to tbo words
"May this bo an honorable bath to
you" and was placed In a plain bed
quite wet nnd naked to dry. As soon
as ho was quite dry he was removed
from the bed. dressed In new nnd rich
apparel and conducted by his sponsors
to tho chapel, whero he offered a taper
to tbo honor of God nnd n penny pleco
to the honor of tbo king. Then he
went to the monarch and, kneeling
before him. received from tho royal
sword a tap on tbo shoulder, the king
exclaiming. "Arise. Sir ." aud then
ombrnccd him, saying, "Bo thou n good
knight, and true." London Strand

England's Patron Saint.
Tho Btory of England's patron saint
Is surrounded by a mixture -of truth
and fable which defies definite sifting.
no Is generally believed to have been
bom nt Lydla, but brought up In Cap-
pndocia. and suffered martyrdom In
the reign of Diocletian. A. D. 303. The
legend of bis conflict with the drngmi
may havo qrlsoii from a symbolical or
allegorical representation of his con
test with the pagan persecutors. When
our oniBaders went to tho east In 10DU
they found St. George elevated to the
rank of warrior saint, with tho title
of the "victorious," and as they be
lieved that they wero Indebted to him
for aid in the siege of Antloch they
adopted him as the patron of soldiers.
Edward 111. was thus led to make liliu
patron of tho Order of the Garter, aud
so gradually St. George became tho tu
telary saint of England. London Mall.
Vltltlng With Johnny.
"I think the mother of n six-ycar-oid
boy should havo a pension to mnko ip

fers," said Just such a mother. "1 took
Johnny to his paternal grandfather's
last week and believe he has cut us
out of rrandfather's will. Of course
we send him to Sundny school, nnd wo
both attend church, but we do not ask
a blessing nt the table, nor do wo have
family prayers. Grandfather docs, and
It hnppcned that the morning nftcr wo
arrived Johnny was excused from tbo
table and went out In the yard to play.
Grandfather led the way Into tho sit
ting room, nnd wo nil knelt down In

Johnny's little face peering curiously
through the blinds nnd hear him sing
out: 'Hoy, in there! What kind of n
game Is that you're ploying? Ain't you
the rotten bunch not to let mo in on
It?" 1 arose and softly whispered to
him to run on nnd piny, and ho sang
out: 'You're It, mnmmn; you're It!

, The Physician.
Dr. Cnthclln of Paris declares that
no person who docs not possess cor
tain "six moral senses" should nttompt
to enter the medical profession viz.
tho sense of duty, tho sense of respon
sibility, the senso of kindness, the
sense of manual skill (which he sub
divides into the senso of boldness and
tho sense of prudence), tho senso of
beauty nnd tho Boclnl role. "Tho sense
of duty toward tho patient," so ho is
quoted by the Boston Globe, "is the
very first requisite in n physician. It
can only arlso from a positive nnd in
nate altruism or love of ono's fellow
creatures a quality similar to that
which moves tho hospital nurse to tho j
enro of the stricken. There can bo no
personal sensitiveness nor lack of In
terest in details, as against nn absorb
ing curiosity thnt complicated cases
arouse, and yet, with nil this senso of
duty, which calls for cxtrerao good
ness and sensitiveness of heart, ho
must not show a traco of emotion
when his duty calls him to operate on
n McKInley, a Carnot or a Frederick
II."
A Truthful Description.
In an illustrated description of the
game of tenuis Slmpllcisslmus says:
"Liko all good things, lawn tennis is
of English origin. Mnrlo Stuart while
n prisoner was compelled to beat car
pots which were hung over n rail.
Not contented with this humiliation,
her sister, Queen Elizabeth, once
throw a dead mouse nt tho uufortu
nato Mario while tho latter was beat
ing carpets. Tho little defunct rodent
waB caught on Mario's flail and sent
back over tho rail and was returned
to her by means of a flnll in tho bonds
of Elizabeth, and thus the game of
tennis originated." Further on in the
same description it 13 said. "Two sets
are formed, and while these Ulrt at
tho edgo of the court others stand
near the net and mnko efforts to speak
English."
Spencer's "First Principles."
In Spencer's "First Principles" he
endenvors to define the Holds of the
unknowable and the knowable and
tho postulates with which the studies'
of the knownble must be pursued.
When Spencer writes that "the man
of science truly knows that In Its ulti
mate essence unfiling can be known,"
ho Is not referring to man's brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles of the universe,
like space, time, mnlter, force and mo
tion, nre by their very nature un
knowable, since nil man's knowledge
of the cosmos can be traced back ulti
mately to sense experience, nnd since
Rense experience Is not always relia
ble and much of what ho enlls iln
ultimate essence Is entlroly InaccesHl- i
ble to sense experience, It may be phil
osophically snld that man . cannot be
sure he really knows anything. Both
the strength and the weakness of his
theory nre duo to the equivocal Import
of t.lm term "knowledge." New York
