This spring Is s vary pecillar aKalr. Thou sands of gallons ol water, pure and cold as Ice, gush fron its mouth dally; and aoundi not unlike those of a harp constantly come froai the falling wat er. The music is sweei indeed; now low and soft as a tairy lullaby, now loud and tremulous m the last notes of some great This spring Is sacred to the Indicts, from one ol whom I succeeded in securing the le gend which makes it so. Thia is what Ne-o-ta-lah told me aa we sat on a rock at the sprlng'a edge: "It was so many great suns ago that Mee-tee-tsc came to gladdou hla fath er's teepee, "And Mee-tee-tse was a very goad boy. Whether he w»s free to tease the skulking dogs or bound to his cradle board. the child wss always happy. He smiled at the songs of the birds and he cooed with delight at the mournful alghs of the Traveling Moon. "So It was said of the little boy that he was to become great and powerful among his people, liarly his father placed the bow and arrow tn hla hands, as early Mee-tee-tse waa made wise In the art of casting an unerring spear. At twelve ureal suns he was the idol of his people. He had already begun to read the speaking rocka. From them he learned the history of the making of the land aud the water. The apeaklng rocks told him of the first man who came In a big canoe, and that there wag aent out from the big canoe a dove to search for land. This dove, Mee-tee-tse read, was as white as the spotless caps of the mountains. Woe to the hunter who should bring down a white dove, prophesied Mee-tee-tse. came murmurs of Jealousy fromsofte of-lhe medicine men "Returning hunters always carried the choicest game to Mee-tee-tse; the finest skins aud the prettiest plumage were his portion. "A council of the chiefs decldgl to make him the wise man of the tribe, for he seemed able to read every omen snd his advice was always found good. But on the very day when he was to have been Inveated with this high office an enemy brought down a white dove with hla arrow. Then the enemy car ried the dead bird »ejelly to the tee pee of Mee-lee-tse, and there those who came to lead the young wise man to the feaat found It. "'The bird of peace Is slain!' he cried.. 'Woe, woe!' / "The aky became dark; awful wlnda beat down the teepees; the grqiss was torn from Its roots; the were killed by Immense rocks which the voice of the clouds cast down the mountains. The people, terror strick en, Invoked the aid of the medicine men, who only shook their heads and pointed accuslruly at Mee-tee-tse, who stood silent In » niche In tha rocks. "Soon cam u ilui. The sun shone very brilliantly and nave out an awful heat. A water famine came. The corn withered and died; the game flew to the ahade of the forests. The earth grew hot and no breath of wind came to relieve the suffering. "When hunger came to the people and with It the sneaking coyotes from the hills, which preyed upon the chil dren, It was decided that ivlee-tee-tse must die to appease the Great Spirit's wrath. " 'For.' said the medicine men. 'did he not kill the bird of peace and plen ty, of which he himself first told us?' "Mee-tee-tse was none. To put him to death they must first And him. So they waited. Darkness came; another day; another night. Mee-tee-tse's fath er skulked here and there, constantly on the watch for his son's return that he might warn him. and It was with a leaping heart that the father heard from afar the screech of an owl, which he knew to be hla hoy's signal of ap proach. Others, too, heard the sound. Angrily men and women followed the noise, but when they found the object of their search they fell at his feet, for he came with many ponies laden with jars of water and haunches of deer. "Mee-tee-tes told a wonderful story. In search of water, he had fallen ex hausted near the mouth of a cave. A cool draught of air came from the bole and gave him strength to drag himself forward Into the cave. After some time he found himself again out In the light, but now the air was fresh, the ground waa cool. Near by he heard a sound aweeter than the song of any bird. He waa drawn to It. A spring; Waters gushed from It In abundance, and aa the lad stooped to quench his thirst and bathe his fevered brow he found that from the depths of the life giving pool came the sweet song. "Yonder lies the parched valley of death, which haa never known rain since Mee-tee-tse's days, ages and ages ago. Here is the singing spring, just as It was when Mee-tee-tae came, lead ing hla people out of Buffering and want." The Game of Hockey. Hockey is an old-fashioned It la getting a new and Increasing pop ularity of late. In Scotland It has been played for years under the name of •hlnny or shinty, and In Ireland It was long known as hurley. Today It la played not only In this country and In Kngland. but in Holland, Prance and Switzerland. In England an ordinary cricket ball painted white Is used In playing the game, which requires a ground 100 by 60 yards. There ara eleven players on each aide, the object of the game being to drive the ball over to the opponents' aide. For this purpose long wooden sMcka, carved at the end. are employed. PISHING WITH HUGE NRT*. Largs Enough to Stretch Acroaa ■ Mile of Sea. In the hold of an average fishing vessel there will be twine enough to make a floating wall ol mesh stretch ing through a mile of sea. In addition to the net proper there are thousands of yards of rope and thin lines which serve to hold the net In position and to act as cables for hauling It in. All thin material seems to be thrown heller skelter into the hold; but to the trained eye of the fisherman everything Is clear and In order aud they can pick out the right eniU In daylight or dark and get the great thing over without the least trouble*. Aa soon as the vessel Is ready to drop her net one of the men hands up the end of a heavy cable from the pile. This Is run through a tackle block at tached to a boom on a mast and than all hands (or In some vessels a small donkey engine) haul away. True and Smooth the net rises foot by foot and the men who stand in the hold to clear any possible tangle rarely have to do more than shake a few folds loose now and then. As fast as the net appears on deck It Is passed over Into the sea. where It Immediately assumes Its proper verti cal position, because Its lower edge la weighted with. lead Blnkers. while its upper edge is buoyed up or floated by wooden buoys. As the net la paid out the vessel slowly forges ahead, thus stretching It along In a straight line astern. The great net is not In one piece, but consists of a number of nets, each 100 feet long, which are fastened together. Thua a vessel can fish with a net of any deairable length. When fishing for herring the North Sea fishing ves sels and many of our own gill net fishermen often fasten so many nets together that at last when they are all out the meshes stretch through a whole mile of sea. When the end of the net is reached the vessel lowers all her sails except the one ou*(be stern, which Is kept ug to steady her, and then she hanga on to the net. In stretching a net the fishermen, who know In what direction the flab move, have aimed to set the net sc that It will form a wall running atralght across the course of the awlm ming schools. Consequently the fist keep swimming Into the net, and sa II Is of very fine, dark twine they cannot see It. especially at night. So they butl Into It and get their heads into the meshes. As soon as they feel the twin* they try frantically to back out. but the moment they try to do It the twin* catchei) in their gills and within a fen minutes holds them fast. When the net is drawn In It Is Ilka a great band of stiver. Sometimes, if the haul Is good, almost every mesh will have a tlsii fast in it. Queer Animals of Tibet. Of all the strange lands In Ibis -won derful world of ours, one of the very strangest is Tibet, that country of Cen tral A sis about which so Utile la known. Your geography will tell yov that it has a rigorous climate, owing tc its great elevation, and that this same elevation makes the country difficult ol access. The laws of the country, too, forbid travel and exploration, and the people are very hoßtiie to foreigners, so altogether It Is not surprising thai the Tibetans have gone an living the same kind of life for centuries, all shut In by themselves. Much of the country Is aba idi.ned to wild animals and oc cupied by wandering tribes. It is aald that no other country of equal extent In the old world can lay claim to sucb a unique and remarkable variety of wild animals. Perhaps the great ele vation of the Tibetan plateau may have something to do with this, as it re quires special adaptations on the part of Its animals. There are also lowland! which have entirely different groups ol animals. One of the most typical animals of the plateau is the yak or Tibetan bison. This is one of the finest members of the ox tribe, speciality adapted for a cold climate by the mass of long, shag gy hair on the tall and under part. Al though domesticated yaks are often black and white, the wild race is wholly black. In spite of the fact that the yak la known as the grunting ox. it appears that only the domesticated breed grunts. The same area is the home of the klang, or Tibetan wild ass, a handsome red and white animal with a large bead and small ears, which ap pears to be somewhat Intermediate be tween the horse and the true wild asses. Eastern Tibet 1B also the home of a bear which In color Bomewhat resem bles the great panda. The bear la re garded by the natives with fear as the primitive speechless man and it Is nev er molested. Among the deer found In Tibet Is a small tufted animal with a plum-colored coat, relieved with white. There is also a handsome and peculiar deer known as the I.assa stag or Thorold'a deer. An Able Aaaiatant. The small son of a clergyman who was noted for his tiresome sermons overheard two friends of his father saying how dry they were, and how hard It was to keep awake during them. The following Sunday, while the minister was preaching, he was as tounded to see his son throwing peb bles at the congregation from the gal lery. The clergyman frowned angrily at him, when the boy piped out In a clear treble voice: "It's all right, pop. You go on preach- keeping them awake."—Har per's Weekly.

"Drop corn down in the meadow patch." "Oh. can 1 help you?" "You may drop it in the small patch back of the barn. You'll be tired of it when you have go( that done. Run and get one of Aunt Mary's aprons to hold the corn." A few momenta later, arrayed in A calico apron. Maurice appeared in the grain house and grandpa filled his apron with corn. "Remember, just seven kernels In earh hill, Maurice," called grandpa, mm be went into tbe next meadow. He counted the kernels with great care and let them drop slowly through bis Angers. How pretty the yellow corn looked in the brown earth! Hut soon It grew warm.. He looked to see bow- many hills he had Oiled. Only two rows aud a half, and there were seven more. He decided that there was no use in really counting tbe kernels, it took too long, and be could guess at It Just aa well. Huon tbe apron was empty, but there were still three rows. He ran to grandpa for more corn. "More corn! Why. Maurice, how** this? I gave jrou enough to All that patch Are you sure you put only ■even kernels In each hill?" "1 didn't count," faltered Maurice. Grandpa said nothing, hut walked through the Held and looked into the bills In one were twelve, lu another sixteen and in a third twenty kernels. "Why. Maurice!" he said. "I'll pick cut the extra ones It you want nip to," said Maurice, reluctantly, for his arms were aching. "Well, perhaps It will make you more thoughtful next time." replied grand pa At noontime, when Maurice started wearily for the house, grandpa said in merry tones. "Well, little man, have you decided that it's true?" "What's true, grandpa?"" "Oh. that's my riddle, Maurice, and the answer Is a proverb. Do you know It, Maurice?" Maurice thought ami Maurice flushed and then Maurice looked straight at grandpa "I'm pretty sure I do know It, now," he said. A Game for the Boys.

Some Queer Expressions. There is a queer expresion in New England—lndeed, there are a good many—but this is a fishing one. When any one catches a big trout or any kind of a game fish he is apt to cry out: "Look! I have a 'he-one'!" This really means an old fish or a big one; a whop per. so to speak. Any Yankee boy who in a "he-one" is sure to be a subject of envy among the other boya. Another odd expresison but this ia not a New England one—is, "Do not be a jumping cat.' " This means, have • mind of your own; do not try to be with the others just so as to have Com pany. Do not go from one side of a question to the other without reason. He brave enough to stand your ground, even If you are all alone; never be a "jumping cat;" but, on the other hand, do not be a mule, either. You all know what that means; indeed, just be youi own true self, and you will lie a good sort of a person if—you are good. And that makes me think of something Ste venson once wrote: "There is only one ''person in the world for me to make good, and that Is myself " It is a pret ty big contract, but If we begin early| and keep at it all our lives, ten chances! to one we will do a good piece of work i not only for ourselves, but for all the world.
