Th* Greatest Thing.
"What Is the greatest thing In the
world ?" It was asked the scholar, and
he gravely answered that learning Is.
for It comprehends all and promotes
all. It was asked the artist and he
cried. "Art. for it combines matter and
spirit, both at their best." The preach
er solemnly declared. "Religion, be
cause it in a light from heaven." The
lawyer argued, "Justice, for it is the
soul of peace and progress." "Money,"
said the banker; "it is the spring of all
action." The young man full of hope
and spirit cried, "Ambition." Out of
his garnered wisdom the weary old
toller answered, "Content" The pair
of lovers, hand in hand, lisped to
gether. "Love." The mother with her
baby at her breast smiled. "Sacrifice."
The wild roisterer cried, "Pleasure."
The wan Invalid whispered, "Health."
To a shambling, grinning fool was put
the question. He simpered and said.
"1 don't know." And which, after all
Is really the wisest of them all—from
the scholar to the fool?—St Joseph

For the Book Borrower*.
What one of us iu school yeare did
not write in bis arithmetic, geography
or speaker:
Steal not this book for fear of shame.
For here you read the owner's name.
Some antiquarian once made the
statement that Jean d'Orleans, Comte
d'Angouleuie, was the first to write a
verse threatening any book thief—i e.,
borrower, with terrible punishment
Philip Hale writes in the Boston Her
ald. He wrote this, captured in the
Hundred Years' war and a prisoner In
England for thirty-three years. The
book was Chaucer's "Canterbury
Tales." The common stanza among
English schoolboys is:
Steal not this book for fear of ahame.
For In it Is the owner'* name.
And when you die the Lord will say,
I "Where Is that book you stole away?"
I But your confirmed borrower of
I books has no fear of punishment in

Legend cf t e £sho.
An echo Is u sound telle, ted from a
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses of the air. and when
those waves conic in contact with a
cliff or wall or other opnos? «• surface
they are reflected like lis!. * >r heat
and the returning waves cause a repe
tition of the sound. The word echo is
of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name of a moun
tain nymph, daughter of the air and
the earth. Echo was one of Juno's at
tendants. but her loquacity displeased
Tuplter, so she was deprived of tbe
power of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
to. Afterward Echo fell in love with
a beautiful youth named Narcissus
und was chunked into a stone, which
still retained the jwiwer of voice. Mil
ton personifies her thus
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that Uv"«t

Mammoth Oysters.
Pliny mentions that, according to tbe
historians of Alexander's expedition,
oysters a foot in diameter were found
in the Indian seas And Sir James
Tennant was unexpectedly enabled to
corroborate the correctness of this
statement, for near Trlucomall enor
mous specimens of edible oysters were
brought before him One of these was
found to measure more than eleven
inches In length by half as many In
width
But this extraordinary measurement
is beaten by the o;. sters 01 Port Lin
coln. South Australia, which are the
largest edlhle ones In the world Tbey
are as large as a dinner plate and of
much the same slia|»e They are some
times more than u fout across tbe
shell, and the oyster fits its habitation
so well that k does not leave much if
any margin The delicacy of flavor of
the Port Lincoln mammoth is famous,
even in that land of luxuries, and one
Is ample even for a hearty appetite.
Salt Eaten.
Idiosyncrasy often takes the form of
a special craving for instead of an ob
jection to certain foods. Many people
possess an extraordinary relish for
common salt aud will eat it by the tea
spoonful when opi»ortunity admits.
This sometimes leads to obesity and
dropsy, but It has also the peculiar ef
fect of lucreastov f}* weight

MAN'S DECREASING HEIGHT.
When Adam and Eva Walked Around
They Were ae Tall aa Tree*.
It was a French savant named
Henrion who 200 years ago (rave to
the world authoritative statement)* aa
to the height of Adam and Eve. He
Bald that the father of the race wn»
123 feet 0 Inches high and Eve 1X8
feet 0 inches. He noted that from the
creation of theso enlarged editions of
humanity degeneration had been rap
Id; that Noah was only twenty-seven,
Abraham only twenty and Moses but
thirteen feet In height.
According to this French authority.
If the Christian dispensation had not
arrested this decrease man by this
time—200 years ago—would have been
a mere microscopic object, and we may
conclude that by our time he would
not have been at all. M. Henrion did
not give any explanation as to bow be
arrived at his estimate of tbe height
of these ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on
record Is that concerning an Immense
skeleton, said to have been In Sicily,
which measured 300 feet in length.
This story, however, carries Its own
refutation, as It Is said that found be
side this giant wus his walking stick,
which was thirty feet long and thick
as a telegraph pole. A clever calcu
lator made tbe estimate that a walk
ing stick only thirty feet in length for
a man who measured 800 feet would
be as ridiculous as one of seven inches
for a man of ordinary stature.—Indian
