Answer: Love is a very com-: plex and complicated combination of sensations.- There are more frost and fever, more bliss and agony, more smiles and tears and more exhilaration and des peration to the square inch in love than in all the other experiences of the hu man family. Philosophers and sages have tried in vain, ever since the world began, to find out just exactly what it is. It is altogether likely that Ida could answer the question quite as well as the prophets of old. New York Lodger.

Hlii clothes were ragged as the wrap pings of his bundle. .He laid the bundle down on the counter, pulled off the wrappings and displayed a Bible of what Is known as me lamiiy" sort, it aaa large, heavy coven stamped in gilt and looked as if it might be illustrated with full page steel engravings.'

"That you don't take Bibles. " "No, " with a laugh. "That was just a bluff. We take anything. But that Bible was worn out and wasn't worth a cent " New York Sun. " . . Superstition of the Turks. The superstition of the Turks is no where bo apparent as in their fear of the "evil eye. " Jugs placed around the edge of the roof or an old shoe filled with garlic and blue beets (blue glass balls or rings) are a sure guard against the illusion. Whenever a pretty child is playing upon the street the passersby will say, "Oh, what an ugly child!" for fear of inciting the evil spirit against its beauty. The peasant classes in Turkey are of course the most super stitious because they are the most ig norant They have no education what ever and can neither read nor write.

It had a deep mahogany colored skin of hard consistency. "I have eaten bushels of them,' said Mr. Wiley. "They grow on trees as big as elms and fall to the ground when ripe.

Its effect was instantaneous as shown by the action of prices. The short sellers were quicd to discover their disadvantage and prompt to act.

There was some dropping back iust at the end of the session on selling out of long wheat by those who were anxious to clinch their profits.
