TROUGH ON WORMS" Sure

Death of Solomon.

There is n legend concerning the
death Of Solomon alluded to in the
Koran and found in the chronicle of
'Tabari, which is to the following
effect: Solomon employed the genli
building the temple, but, percelv-
Ag that his end was nigh at hand,
prayed God that his death
might be concealed from the
genii until the work was COM
pleted, for Solomon knew that If he
died and the genii knew of his
death they would leave off building.
Therefore he made himself q staff
from tree in the garden, and lean
ing 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 continuing for a whole
year. Those who saw him thought
he was absorbed in prayer, and they
genii worked night and day until the
temple was completed, thinking they
were 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 temple was finished, long year
altar the death of Solomon, the stat
crumbled under his weight and thu
body fell to the ground. Mahomet
alludes 10 this curious legend in the
following Koran, Sura xxxiv)
"When he God had decreed tina
Solomon should die, nothing discov
cred death unto them (the genii) ex
cept the creeping things of the earth
which gnawed his staff, and wheI
his body fell down the genii plainly
perceived that If they had known tina
which Is secret they would not havt
continued IN vile punishment"

An Umpire's Peril.

The lot of the umpire in an amateur
baseball game is usually q very IN
happy and likewise a dangerous one,
saws the Buffalo Courier. In con-
test recently played in a town not
MANY miles from Buffalo, between
the home team and visiting club,
the umpire was compelled to decide
several close decisions against the
local nine, and though the crowd be-
came greatly excited, no harm befell
the autocrat of the diamond up to
the last half of the ninth inning.
The score at that juncture was 8 to S
in favor of the visitors, with the
home team at bat. The first man up
got base on ball, the second sing lied,
and sacrifice advanced each a base.
A repetition OF the four-ball act
filled the bags. The next two batters
famed out, to the chagrin of the
crowd, who began to think that the
umpire intended to rob the home
club of the game. The climax was
reached when the third man had
two strikes and three balls called on
him. The excitement was at fever
heat for the next ball pitched meant
defeat or victory. Straight. as an
arrow came the sphere toward the
plate, but as the umpire Iremblingly
prepared to call "Third strike, side
out!' the bafsman swung around
with his club and knocked the ball
over the fence. The sensation of joy
experienced by that umpire was of a
very joyous kind, as he comprehend
ed how near he had come to deaths
door. He never tires of telling the
story, but AYERS that he will never
umpire another ball game.

rhe rralnea rlephants Of rnd,a.


 A traveller writing of some trained ele- phants which he saw in a seaport town on the Bay of Bengal, in India, thus describes their intelligence in Golden Days: Here you see the trained elephants at work piing up teak tim ber in the numerous timber yards that line the river Their knowledge and intelligence are simply wonderful. They are guided by q native called a mahout, who is perched on the neck, and who gives all the necessary orders, assisted by his heel and an iron sharp pointed goad mnch like a small pickax. The elephants thoroughly understand what is re- quired of themsss Think of them piling up square timber to the height of forty feet, every stick of which is in line and in its proper place, each piece weighing from two to three tons. They carry the timber on their tusks, holding it in place by their trunk, to the place of piling.
 Mr. Findlay, owner of one of the largest yards. had his force of elephants put through h their various forms of work, such as piling up the logs and tumbling them down, as well as drawing by chain harness and pushing with their trunks and tusks from three to five of these logs, end to end, tandem fashion.
 These elephants are at times very trouble some and dangerous, and great care is taken to keep strangers at 8 respectful distance They are immense in size, and cost from 1,8OO to 2,5O0 silver rupees each; that is to say, from $900 to $l,250 each. s
 When the bell rings for dinner or quitting time they quit at once what they are at, and cannot be induced to go on, but bolt imme- diately to their quarters for their meal. Woe to the feeder should any of them be cut short in their food. They never forget it, and re- venge themselves at the first opportunity. They bathe in the river every evening, and know as well as man when Sunday comes. On that day they make for the mud pits, and, like pigs, wallow there all day.

THE CAMEL BELLS.
4Ynkling, tinkling over the sands

1inkling, tinkling over the sands
 Of the desert at night, says the legend old, Came the kings on the camels, with bells of gold, From the dusks and spices of odorous lands The jeweled king from the Persian sea, The puissant monarch of Araby,
 And Tarshish's prince, still young and fair And the Golden Star, in the gold dust air, Swung it's censer across the mystic sands. So first the bells of Epiphany
 Were rung in the night by the camels three, 1inkling, tinkling over the sands hope it be true, but it matters not;
 The world rings sweet like the camel bells That fancy hears by the palm cooled grot Outside the inn by the cattle wells. They were worshipful hearts and generous hands Whoever the Magi may be, know,
 And happy the feet that after them go In search of the truth from Araby, From the air hung dome or the humblest spot, And follow the path of the camels three, Of the shadowy kings and the desert sea, And the night bells tinkling over the sands

Rigid Economy.

There is good story told of the econom- ical qualities of two well known and wealthy gentlemen living in the east part of town, says the St. Joseph (Mo) Herald, that is . good lesson for those recklessly extravagant persons who are not possessed of the true spirit of economy. On certain night one of these gentlemen called on the other to transacta a little business at the formers resi- dence. The host lighted candle that they might examine some papers, but immediately blew it out again when they were through, leaving both sitting in the dark.
 "Why did you blow out the candle2" asked the caller.
 ''Oh, we can talk in the dark as well as in the light, and it saves the candle," was the reply.
 They continued their conversation for Q short time, when the host heard some mys- terious sounds coming from the direction of the callers chair, and inquired what his friend was doing.
 'Why," said the friend, "it's dark in here, and no one can see me, so thought would take off my trousers to save the wear on themn

 Philadelphia Inquirer: "Not one mar in thousand" said a member of the Master Builders Exchange yesterday 'can tell why on the inside of the window panes of a building approaching compile tion whiting or soap Is put on. Can you tell ?"
 The query was put to several men stand ing near the speaker, one contractor, { second a brickmaker, a third plumber and fourth newspaper man.
 "To clean the windows" said the con tractor, knowingly.
 ''To prevent people from seeing inside, said the brickmaker, modestly.
 ''So as to keep off fly specks, said thu plumber, facetiously.
 "Give it up" said the newspaper man sententiously.
 Simple enough" said the Exchange man, quietly. ''Its to prevent the car penters from smashing the glass You see its this way: When the carpenters come the day after the glass is put in-and thu glass is generally put in just before tn, day closes-.they forget the glass is ther, and start to push the blanks through. B! this means many pares of glass have beer broken before the building was completed until some ingenious fellow hit upon thi method of notifying the carpenters tha there was glass there. See ?"
 They all saw and said nothing.
