Average Of Chest Expansion.

1t certainly Is strange that in almost
all nations and In all ages there should
have been this same singular jealous
regal monopoly of so useful an object as
portable sunshade, which was also
available as a protection against rain.
But so it has ever been, even in the high
est civilizations of early ages. We find it
depicted on some of the most ancient
sculptures of Persepolis, and also on
those of Babylon and Nineveh, but always
as distinctive mark Of honor for the
great men and rulers The Assyrian bas-
reliefs show slaves holding richly orna-
mented umbrella above the head of the
monarch, not only in scenes of peace, but
even in time of war. It appears to be
fringed with tassels, and is provided on
one side with an embroidered curtain.
In these sculptures the mark of distinc-
tion is reserved exclusively for the mon
arch, and it never overshadows any other
person, however eminent. The same
thing is observed in the sculptures of
Babylon and Nineveh, in which the king
alone Is thus distinguished. OF tho
ancient Mexican emperors It Is likewise
recorded that not only were they borne by
relays Of great mobiles, but also that four
more mobiles Of high estate were appointed
to uphold the sacred umbrella which
added dignity to the imperial procession.
Even in the beginning Of the present CEN
tury the Mohammedanruler of Hindustan
claimed q monopoly of the use Of the
sHnshade, and no one was permitted to
carry an umbrella in tho imperial pres
ence. English Illustrated Magazine.

or Cure I'm q Few Moments
A peculiar lawsuit has just been
brought before the Circuit Court at Gal.
latin. Tenn. Josiah L. Barnes was tho
owner of an old horse. The animal had
rather long hair. and unintentionally
harbored insects indignantly but cor
rectly known a. lice. These Insects
were so ravenous of appetite that the
horse began to show signs OF his in
ability to support them. They would
arouse him at all times of night, regard
ing him as restaurant where meal
we're served at all hours, and annoyed
the unfortunate animal until he wa
scarcely able TO draw bull-tongue
plow. Barnes tried numerous kinds Of
poisonous liquids, but found nothing
that would kill the insects. or even
lessen their demand for food.
One evening while Barnes was nedi-
tating upon the inevitable fate of his
horse, a fellow named Whitesides came
along and asked how the animal was
getting along.

a VISION.

By hands invisible was caught
Up to rare and dizzy height,
Hard by the places where are wrought
The miracles of the Infinite.
The springs of the world were set in play
Before mo, and looked far down
The sapphire reaches that stretch away
Through starry spaces to the Unknown.
Felt Earth's fine heart bats rise and fall,
Had power conferred to apprehend
The immortal longings which ascend
From burdened breasts In hut and hall;
Saw now human instinct shoots
Its loving flbers all abroad,
Firm graphing with its deepest roots
The restful soils ordained Of God.
