A CURIOUS LEGEND,

When Adam was far advanced in years
and at the point of death, he sent his son
to the angel Michael. who kept the gate
of Paradise to pray for the oil of mercy,
so that he could be healed. The angel
answered that it could not be until fifty
five hundred years, but he gave Seth a
branch of the tree Of which Adam had
eaten, bidding him plant it On Mount
Lebanon, and that when it bare fruit his
father should be healed. Seth planted
the branch on his fathers gave it took
root and grew, and from it were made
Aaron's rod and Moses. staff with which
be struck the rock and sweetened the wa
tiers of Marah. 1t also formed the pole
on which the hrazen serpent was raised
up, and the ark of the testimony At
last it came into the hands of Solomon.
who used it in building his palace but it
continually resisted the efforts of the
builders to adjust it. Now it was too
long, and then again too short. The
builders, being angry, then threw it into
marsh, SO that it might serve as bridge.
The queen of Sheba would not walk upon
but adored it, and told Solomon that upon
it should be suspended the man by whose
death the kingdom should be destroyed.
Solomon then had it buried deep in the
ground, where afterward the pool of Beth
sada was dug, and from the virtues of
this tree healing properties were impaired
to the waters After it had been buried
three hundred years it rose to the surface
of the water, and the Jews took it and
made of it the cross of our Savior

| RATS AND PuPPIss.- Many people
who have been told that the Chinese eat
rats, do not believe the story; but it is
true. In the northern part Of China.
where meat is cheap, rats are never eaten
in the central provinces. they occasional
ly add a flavor to a poor mans soup;
but in the vicinity of Canton, they are a
staple article of food with the lower,
classes. A rat is prepared for the Chi
nese market in a peculiar way; it is
skinned, opened, pressed fiat, salted and
dried. Rats are to be seen in the market
place, piled up in the above shape, like
Goldfish in our grocers' shops. Of course
when the coming man. is represented
by the thousand here, he will want his
rats and 10 doubt there will be enter
prise enough among our people to give
them to him in the. form as above de-
scribed. This will be called "a new

A Feminine Weakness.

The most difficult thing in the world
tor woman to do Is to get ready to 20
anywhere. And there is nothing a
woman viii resent quicker, or more
hereely, than an intimstion that she
may possibly miss the train. Our
friend, Brayfogle, gives US an instance
of this. Mr.. Bray was supposed to
take the ten O'Clock train on the Bee
Line. to visit some relatives in an inte-
rior town. Having suffered on pre-
vious occasions for injudieicus suggss-
tons, Bray thought that, for once, he
would let things take their natural
course. So he slipped his coffee and
ate his eggs on toast, while madame
curled and powdered, and danced at
tendance on the looking-glass, and tied
bark on the back of her head. Then
Bray sat by the stove for an hour and
read the morning paper, while the mad
anne still continued to get ready. At
last, Just as he had reached the final
paragraph of reading matter, and was
beginning on the advertisements, mad
anne tied her bonnet strings under her
chin, took one long, lingering, loving
look at the image reflected in the glass,
and sweetly announced:
''Well, my dear, Pm ready"
'Ready for WHAT" asked Bray, in
well-affected astonishment. a4.
"To so to the depot, to be sure"
said Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
ooh" said Bray, "T'd forgotten.
Well, Madame, looking at bis watch, }
that train has been gone thirteen min
utes. Just keep on your things, and
you'll be ready for the train tomorrow
morning"
We draw vail over what followed.
We are assured, however, that next
morning Mrs. B, was ready an hour
ahead of time Indianapolis Mirror.
