undertook usually came to pass. He could

the sea for its tempestuousness.' He could
bedeck the branches of a tree with jewelry

tian queen, this fascinating Greek princess
was the answer. At fourteen she was an
accomplished linguist, a student of history
and a skillecf musician. At nineteen 1 she
conquered that Caesar who had conquered
the world. Forty-six years before the

,". Indeed, modestv "is so inherent . an ' ele
ment in the great essentials making genu-
ine beauty that without modesty beauty
is imDossible. - We are indebted to no hu
man law for this truth God has woven
it into the fabric of our natures. Art
critics tell us that the eighteenth century
was pre-eminently the century of women.
Then, we are told: "Her grace possessed
the most nrestife. her conuetrv the most
disquieting elegance and her beauty the
most triumphant authority." It . was the
age in-which Mme. de .rompodour reigned
in the court of Louis XV The brushes of
La tour and Boucher Have pleaded with all
the eloquenee of their genius and art to
deifv this darintr woman. She appointed
ministers, she exiled those who incurred'
that iewel of modesty which sparkles in
the crown of true beauty." Alas for that
land whose women forsake their veils of
modesty to show the people and princes
their beautv!
Consider, finally, the price Vashti paid
,for her modesty. For her refusal to come
"at the king's command was the immediate
cause of her dethronement. Surely there
are few finer exhibitions of sacrifice in the
histc1 of wOmenhood. We love to read
of Te. ?illa, who united courage with the
gift of song-, and saved Argos; of Octavia,
shielding the children of Cleopatra, her
shameless rival; of Sulpicia, renouncing
the pleasures, of Kome - to go into exile
with; her husband; of Lucretia, who killed
herself rather than live in dishonor; of
Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, urg-

Story of Terrapin's Memory.
That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved" by ia story told by Young D.
Hance, who owns the birthplace of
Chief Justice Taney, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr. Hance keeps a small boat under
a mulberry tree on the shore of the
creek, and on going to the oat early
one morning he noticed a dry land
terrapin busily engaged in eating a
Sew mulberries which had fallen. Mr.
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er Tarry
pin in getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one at a time. Kln a 'very short
time the terrapin began to catch the
berries 4n his mouth exactly as they
were thrown to him. Every day after
ward a .slight knock on the side of the
boat would bring the terrapin out for
his" mulberries, a'nd Mr. Hance often
took- his friends and visitors to see his
pet.
On one occasion a fresh young man
threw a .piece of Jobacco to the terra
pin instead" of a mulberry. Br'er Tar
rypin retired at once in disgu3t,; and
for days afterward refused to come
when called. Although Mr.' Hance
finally induced him tocome again for
his mulberries, Br'er Tarrypin remem
bered the tobacco and would never ap
proach unless Mr Hance was alone.-

DOG HAD NOT FORGOTTEN.

"Something must have stung your
dog," said a resfdent of this city to
a suburbanite, whom he was .visiting
a few days ago. as he noticed the an
tics of a large collie which, after
snapping frantically at a flying in
sect, lowered his head and carefully
licked his right f orepaw.
"No," replied the owner of the dog,
"that is only a little delusion of his.
When he was a puppy a bee stung
him on that foot you see him attend
ing to, and ever since he has cher
ished a standing grudge against flying
insects. Apparently the sight of one
not only arouses his anger, but re
calls most vividly nisi first experience

ning after one, whether , he catchea
it or not, he stops and tenderly licks
the place where he was stung two

HABIT'S CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and
Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that tbe amount of will power neces
sary to break a life-long habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a weight
pf many tons. .
It sometimes requires a higher degree
of heroism to break the chains of a per
nicious habit than to lead a forlorn
hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was a
lover of coffee. Before I was out of my
teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, sut
fering terribly at times with my
stomach.
"I was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet I
could not deny myself a cup for break
fast. At the age of 36 I was in very,
poor health, indeed. My 'Sister told me
1 was in ditoger of becoming a coffee
drunkard. , '
"But I never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although it kept
me constantly ill, until I tried Postum.
I learned to make it properly according
to directions, and now we can hardly
do without Postum for, breakfast, and
care nothing at all for coffee.
1 "I am no longer troubled with dys
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my: stomach that used; to trouble
me so when I drank coffee." Name
