Nothing 1, Too Grand for the Average

1t is very curious fact that, with all
our boasted "free and equal" superiority
over the communities of the Old World,
our people have the most enormous APP

Dictator" and so on. Nothing less than
"Grand" and Supreme" is good enough
for the dignitaries of our associations of
citizens. Where does all this ambition
for names without realities come from?
Because Knight of the Garter wears
golden star, why does the worthy cord
wainer, who mends the shoes of his
fellow-citizens, want to wear tin star,
and take name that had meaning as
used by the representatives of ancient
families, or the men who had made
themselves illustrious by their achieve.
ments?
1t appears to be peculiarly Ameri-
can weakness. The French Republicans
of the earlier period thought the term
citizen was good enough for anybody.
At later period 'le Roi Citoyen"-the
citizen king-was common title given
to Louis Philippe. But nothing is toe
grand for the American in the way OF
titles. The proudest of them all signify
absolutely nothing. They do not stand
for ability, for public service, for social
Importance, for large possessions, but
on the contrary are oftenest found in
connection with personalities to which
they are supremely inapplicable. We
can hardly afford to quarrel with

Miss Mary raised herself on one ell

"Tot, dear, is that you?'
For answer the child ran toward her.
and, laying the flowers down upon the
coverlet, gazed up expeetantly into the
thin, pale face.
Miss Mary leaned forward and kissed
her, and then she looked at the flowers
For the life of her she could not keep
from smiling, it was such an incongru-
Gus bouquet. There was larkspur, and
there were marigolds, bachelors but
tons, sweet-william and just one late
moss rose. Miss Mary couldn't help
wondering to herself how it had man
aged to outlive its fellows. Then as
she glanced at the huge suuflower in
the center of the bunch, her smiles
broke out afresh.

you. Are all these lovely flowers for

would take her right up to the Red

the Red House were crimson with the

sank down behind them they turned to
a ruddier glow. Tot looked at them and
wondered in her baby fashion how long
1t would take to reach them and nurse.
Then she turned the corner and went
on.
1t was after ten when Miss Mary
awoke, and her sister was still asleep.
When at last she awakened Miss Mary
told her of little Tots visit. ''Why,
Mary, you've been dreaming!' she ex-

flowers upon the table. Shortly after
that Miss Mary fell asleep again, and

But, strange to say, when presently
there was patter of tiny feet upon the

spoke no words of welcome to the
quaint little stranger that stood there
craving admission.

thereabouts, even though she was such

one moment, her big, gray eyes fixed in
wonderment upon Miss Anna's sleeping

upon her baby mind, she let the door
slam to behind her and trotted across to
the threshold of the room where Miss
Mary lay.
Miss Mary turned over presently and
could scarcely believe her eyes. She

yet, although the blinds were lowered
and the room in semi-darkness, there

SoLoMoN'S DEATH.
A Peculiar Legend Contained in tho Sa-

A Peculiar Legend Contained in tho Sa-
cred Book of the Mohammedans.
There is legend concerning tie
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 build
ing the temple, but percsiving that his
end was nigh at hand, prayed God that
his death might be concealed from the
genii until the work was finished, for
Solomon knew that if he died, and the
genii knew of his death, they would
leave off building. Therefore he made
himself a staff from tree in his gar
den, and leaning upon this staff, with
his head bowed in alteration, he died
in the temple. His soul was taken
so gently from him that the body
remained standing, so remaining
for one 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 was completed, thinking
they were being 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
gnawing at the staff, and when the tenn
pie was at last finished, 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
tsee Koran, Sura, xxxiv): when He
(God) had decreed that Solomon should
die, nothing discovered death INTO
them 1.-THE genii) except the creeping
thing of tho earth, which gnawed his
staff, and when his body fell down the
genii plainly perceived that if they had
known that which is secret they would
not have continued in vile punish.
