To forget our troubles, and turn our attention to something which is both interesting and pleasant, is true rest. Does the church help us in this? At least jt ought to, who will testify that it does. The friendly meeting, the music and sing- inz, the prayers and the sermon, are surely adapted to help the ordinary man and for the time at least he can forget his worries. : But suppose the tired individual stays home. Does he rest ? He is too tired to "dress up," and so lolls 'a- round in his everyday clothes, He reads a little, but it is just what be hus been teading all the week, and jt does not rest him. A neighbor calls in, and they discuss business and lo- cal happenings, and live the week over again, and its cares and troubles, Then the children worry him, and he loses his temper a dozen times. At night hie is probably more tired than he was in the morning, and he won- ders how it is that Sunday is such a hard day. He has spoiled his Sun- Jday and lost a day. Now, if hg had decided to go to on his Sunday clothes, and that would at least have occupied his attention for a little while. He would have heard some good music and probably 'a ser mon that would have interested him; and he would, for a few hours at least, have forgotten his daily round of duty, and would have bem more rested al night than if he had stayed at home. The tired man, as a rule, had better go to church. SNAKE TURNED TRAITOR. Young Woman Believed in Its Af. fection. Ellen Velvin, the animal trainer, tells a story of a woman', snake charm- er who firmly béheved that one of her snakes was really fond of her. She could do anything with it, fondle, kiss and caress it. . "She grew so fond of it," says Miss Velvin in MecClure's, "that at last she even let it sleep on her bed, to the great disgust of the other performers in the show. She would eat her meals with this horrible thing coiled around her neck; and omeel in very Warm weather she took it under her coat into the woods with her, and let it amuse itself by crawling over the growmd. --*'She followed it about and kept =a moet careful watch over it (it was a valuable performer), but it showed no disposition to go off into the woods, as she fgared it might, but came back to her and coiled around her as usual. She was warned several times that he reptile was very dangerous, but she grew more and more reckless and the snake appeared to become more and more attached to her, "And then one day without any warning directly after a performance when she was caresding it in her own ANILLA ~ goes farther than ordinary extracts, because ordinary extracts are Van- illa in name 'only.

She hastily uncoiled it and thrust it into its box, but she died within half an hour." George Snyder, one of the keepers out at the Bronx Zoo, has a more faithful adorer in the person, so to speak, of a young walrus that Was captured by Paul Rainey in the Kane Basin. He was only six months old when Miss Velvin, after seeing him, declared that "for homeliness and comical expression he was without a rival at the 200" --and that is saying a good deal. "He hates everybody except his keeper," she says, "but for him he w ill go anywhere and do anything. His allection began to show itself by his flopping in his awkward way after his keeper every time he moved. For this Keeper Suyder called him Flip Flop and this has been shortened to Flip. "Mr. Snyder was anxious to weigh him tne day. This would have been something of an undertaking under ordinary circumstances, as the weigh: ing machine was some distance away, but the gate was opened, the keeper went gut, saying "Come on, Flip," and out. came the young walrus and fol- lowed him not only to the scales but on. the scales, where, 'by giving him one or two clams, he was kept long. en- ough to be weighed. "Flip weighed at the time of his capture 1530 pounds. Since then he has gained enormously, as he has a huge of fish daily--three meals a v--in the shape of clams, codfish and buttd- fish from which all the bones are first carefully removed.

With regard to Iviza, the third in importance of the Balaeric isles, which lie. midway between Spain and Africa. complete history has never been, and never will be written. |. "© From the fragmentary records ex- istent, one githers that from earliest days occupation of the lovely gnd fer: tile islands was hotly contested. Chal deans, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Ro- mans, Greels, Vandals, Saracens and Moors fought for. its possession Since the Aragonese invasion of the thirteenth century Iviza has belonged to Spain. Here are some interesting details of the life of the people, de scribing, the Sunday morning scene. when the country folk came to town to mass and to market : Some , of the women rode mules, sitting perched high on a pile of sheepskins, their multi-colored petti- coats billowing about their neat ankles others were packed closely into open carts that had cushions placed low on either side of their sagring floor mat- ting. With its flippant hues and staid cut, the native dress was a bewilder- ing combination of garishness and sobriety. k : They say there are ten men for every woman in Iviza, and the aspect of the roads on that suniy April morning inclined us to believe the re port, for from every direction came fine, strapping fellows moving in droves. In striking contrast to the expansive at tire of the women, the men's dress ap- peared designed to accentuate their natural shinmess. The trousers of rich- ly colored velvet or plush fitted close N to the limbs, except at the ankles, where they spread widely; while their further adornments were gavly hued shirts or short, full blouse jackets and bright sashes. . The popular large fell hats were lav- ishly adorned' with gol' cords, and in addition 'to one necktie for use, it was customary to add a second, and even a third, for show. As the morning advanced, a moving throng, resplendent in color, crowded the "market place. Girls, temporarily free from chaperdns, were parading in decorus rows, their hands, holding pocket handkerchiefs heavily edged with crochet lace, sedately crossed over their short but voluminous green silk aprons. It was perhaps only to be expected that wherever we saw a bedv of gixls a corresponding cluster of men wuld be at hand. Yet we rarely saw them address one another. The modern eti- quette of a rustic courtship in lviza is clearly defined. A plentitude of suitors being assured, it is the maiden who makes the selection. The admirers of a marriagenhie girl wait for her outside the chursh door on Sunday, and when she leaves mass the one who has the price claim pre sents himself and walks Losids ner fey the first portion of the homeward journey. Then at a given point, or within a stated time limit, he vields place to the second, and the second to u third, until the number is exhaust Ii any suitor seeks to transgress the unwritten law, pistols may flash and knives are apt to spring. In all other matters the people of Iviza are peace able, and on all points' moral and virtuous. It must be admitted that certain of the more frolicsome spirits still keep up the custom of saluting the maidens of .their choice with a charge of rock salt aimed at the ankles, and it is de. voutly to be hoped that the unwieldy, masses of petticoats serve at least one useful purpose by shielding the wear- €rs from the saline missiles of love's artillery. REMARKABLE. MOTHERS. History Shows Maternal Stamp on Men of Exceptional Genius. The mothers of men of genius havg been frequently somewhat remarkable women, more remarkable than the fa- thers. Caesar's' mother was "a stuict and stately lady of the old school, up infected by the cosmopolitan laxity of her day." Consequently, though the Caesars were wealthy, their household was "simple and severe."' Its great est son "'was always passionately de voted to his mother, who shared his house up to the time of her death," when he was forty-six years old, "Her influence upon him was doubtless great and beneficial." Napoleon attributed "his elevation to his mother's traning, laying dow: the maxim that the future good or bad conduct of a child depends entirely the mother." The only gift which he Seems to have received from his father was a tendency to cancer. Mozart, Goethe, Seott, Leibnitz Augustine, Gregory and Francis d'As. sisi, all' these had mothers of some note and fathers of less--Augustine's father was "an unprigeipled scamp."
