extraordinary as the recrudescence of old
superstitions in skeptical France. What

and disappearing-devils, and (lallic intel
lect has Ii :en kept iu a ferment of ex
citenient. And now comes a new dis
turbing elemnt in the shape of two proph
ecies, lorlelling the end of the world in
ISAM, in these prophecies religion and
science go hand in hand. One was made
over three centuries ago by Frcrn Phil
lipe O'.ivarius, of the Abbey of ("iteaux t
who had in his day, so we are told, "a
great reputation for perspicacity." He
began by the genial prediction that in
the year lS'.Ui Paris would be blotted
out, never to reappear; that many great
cities would be burned, and that the end
ol all things would be three years later
The other prophecy is by Prolessor Falh
of Vienna, who has achieved a repula
tion throughout Kurope throughout his
successful forewarning of the earth
quakes of lSll.'l,iii Zinte, and in South
crn Hungary. lie now asserts that on
November 13, 1S!!, that heavenly wan

"Papa's come home!"

When he awoke he passed his hand over
his face, and exclaimed: "What is the

"You cannot see him!"
"Stand out of the way! I will see my

"To prevent confusion I took him to
the child's bed, and as I turned down

Lirag before orange blossoms became
associated wilh weddings the fragrant
asmsne was commonly used for ihe dec
oration of a bride. A very pretty legend
of ancient Tuscany tells how this little
blossom became the symbol of love, A
traveller, returning from the warm coun
tries of Asia, brought home with him a
are tropical plant the jasmine which
was unknown in Tuscany. He gave a
mall slip to a ecllain duk", who set it
among his most treasured plants, where
It rooted and thrived under Ihe care ol
the gardener and soon grew to be a good
sized plant. Tint duke was so proud of
his rare possession that he gave strict
orders to his gardener to guard the plant
larefully and on no account lo give even
i slip not a flower lo any person.
The gardener was u good young man,
and he would have been faithful to bis
charge had he uot happened to fall in
love with the sweetest peasant maid iu
11 Tuscany. The maid was poor aud
her lover was not much richer, so they
were unable to marry. On the birthday
of the peasant the gardener, having
nothing else lo give the maid of his
choice, presented her with a bouquet of
(lowers, and among the other clippings
in the bunch there was one from the
hike's cherished jasmine bush. Nothing
could be too good for the gardener's
maiden, so in this one instance he re
laxed his care of the shrub The girl,
admiring the fresh buds of the sprig,
wished to preserve it, ami so placed it in
the ground, where it rooted, and remain
ed fresh and green all winter, thus sym
holiziug her love for the gardener, and in
following spriug it grew and was covered
wilh blossoms. The little hush flourish
ed and the flowers multiplied so under
Ihe maiden's care that she was able to
sell many of the sprigs for a considerable
sum, thus spreading the uuknown flower
abroad; aud iu a short time, with a spray
of the precious love token on her breast
she was wedded to the happy gardener.
To this day the Tuscan girls preserve
the remembrance of the gardener's gift
to his sweet heart on their wedding
y, and they have a proverb which says
a young girl wearing such a sprig is rich
enough tt make the lortune ol a poor
husband. rhilailelphia Tress.

on ihe Paeilie roast today is among the
wild hogs, down on thr bottom lauds of
the Colurado river, fifty or sixty miles
smith of the old town of Yuma. A par
ty of us was down there last year, ami I
believe we had adventures enough to
thrill our sportsmen friends fur a full
g.ineralinn."
A great many hunters in California
indorse every word of Commissioner
Koosevelt's opinion, and no bunting
ground for big game is probably beeoin
ing more popular than this in (lie winter
time, when the climate along the lazy
muddy Colorado river is like that of July
in the eastern states.
Two years ago an experienced sports
man from Southern Illinois was spending
the winter in Yuma. He had a pair of
very line, large staghounds, which the
owner claimed could run down and kill
any wild hog along the Colorado river.
One day he took the dogs aud riflo aud
wcut down the river for a nice little boar,
just right for the oven. lie had not
gone thirty miles, and lauding, before he
found a band of hogs and little pigs, and
turned his dogs loose on them when out
of the tules nearby jumped an enormous
boar, a monster, who, with mouth wide
open, paying no attention lo the dogs,
made for the hunter. The latter drew
up his rifle and fired, but on came the
boar, the dogs nipping him at every
jump.
The hunter fired a second shot, but on
came the beast. The hunter turned aud
ran for a inesquite tree a few yards dis
tant, the hog close to bis heels. lie
dropped his gun jumped for life, grasp
ing a limb of the tree, just as the hog
grabbed his pants, and tore one-half of
them from him, but he was safe, just out
of reach, The dogs all this while ran
grabbing the h"g by the hind legs to
which the boas! paid no attention. Tho
mad boar seized the balk of the tree iu
his great tusks and tore it into shreds.
Finally he turned upon the dogs, in-tanl-ly
killed one, woundid tint other s i that
it died soon al'lt r. Then he turned his
attention to the tree where the hunter
at. lie guarded him until it was dark,
'vice did the man get down and try to
;et rifle, but his foe was on guard and
lrove biui back up the tree. I'uring
the night the boar 1- It. Daylight came,
and so did help Tho ne n had hardly
reached the liver and got in rheir boat
when down came the old ling after them,
in vain pursuit. St. Louis (lobe-Demo-
