1t was a hard trial for poor Grace who
had no love for rsewing. and dumb tale

way to uncomfortable emotion.
She had been working steadily al

What was she to do? The stain was

KING SOLOMON'S DEATH.
"A Legend or tho Sage's End from the
Koran.

A Legend OF tho Sage's End from tho
Koran.
There is legend concerning the
death of Solomon alluded to in the ko-
ran and found in the chronicle of Ia
bari. which is to the following effect:
Solomon employed the genii in building
the temple, but perceiving that his end
was nigh at hand. prayed God that his
death might be concealed from the
genii until the work was completed,
for Solomon knew that If he died and
the genii knew Of his death they would
leave off building. Therefore he made
himself staff from tree in the gar
den and, leaning upon the staff. with
his head bowed in alteration, he died in
the temple. Ills soul was taken SO
gently from him that the body remained
standing, SO continuing for whole
year. Those who saw him thought he
was absorbed in prayer, and they dared
not approach him. Still the genii
worked night and day until the temple
watched in every detail by the master.
whose eyes had many weeks before
closed in death. But during all this
time little white ants had been gnaw-
ing at the staff and when the temple
was finished, a long year after the
death of solomon, the staff crumbled
under his weight and the body fell to
the ground. Mahomet alludes to this
curious legend in the following (Koran
Sura xxxiv): when he God had de.
creed that Solomon should die, nothing
discovered death unto them (the genii)
except the creeping things of the earth,
which gnawed his staff, and when his
body fell down the genii plainly per-
ceived that If they had known that
which is secret they would not have
continued in vile punishment"-In-

branch Of that road. The pay train, af-
ter paying of the employees OF the road
left here at 400 p. m, and proceeded
two and q half miles from this place
when the engineer, in turning the
curve, saw man at a distance Of forty
yards, deliberately pull rail away. He
Immediately reversed the engine, called
for brakes, but it was too late, and ere
the echo of his whistle had died away,
the entire train was q wreck.
All of those aboard were injured more
or less. The miscreant who wrecked
the train was caught near the scene and

THE proclamation of the President
making it penal offense for the captain
of an ocean steamship flying our flag
to refuse relief to other vessels found in
u disabled condition is a praiseworthy
attempt to regulate one of the revolt
ing practices of human cruelty. 1t
seems almost incredible that there
should be need of such proclamation
within the confines of civilization. Yet
instances are fresh in the public mind
in which business rivalry has prompted
the rejection Of all appeals for aid from
a competing vessel in distress. These
instances are few, and will be fewer
when other countries initiate us.
