The walls are two hundred and forty
five feet high, and from the top of these
spring a dome thirty more feet high,
that dome containing the most wonder
full echo the world has ever known; SO
that ever and anon travellers standing
below with flutes and drums and harps
are testing that echo, and the sounds
from below strike up and then come
down as it were the voices OF angels
all around about the building. There
is around it a garden of tamarind and
banyan and palm and all the floral
glOries of the ransacked earth.
But that is only a tomb of dead
empress, and it is tame compared with
the grandeurs which God has builded
for your living and immortal spirit.
Oh, home of the blessed! Foundations
of gold! Arches of victory Capstones
of praise! And a dome in which there
are echoing and re-echoing the halle
lujahs of the ages. And around about
that mansion is a garden-the garden
of GOd-and all the springing fOunt-
aims are the bottled tears of the church
in the wilderness, and all the crimson
of the flowers is the deep hue that was
caught up from the carnage of earthly
nartyrdoms, and the fragrance is the
prayer of all the saints, and the aroma
puts into utter forgetfulness the cassia,
and the spikenard, and the franklin
cense, and the world renowned spices
which the Queen Balkis, of Abyssinia,
flung at the feet of King Solomon.
When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
Through obduracy on our part, and
through the rejection of that Christ
who makes heaven possible, [ wonder
if any Of us will miss that spectacle? |
fear! I fear! The queen of the south
will rise up in judgment against this
generation and condemn it, because she
came from the uttermOst parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and behold, Il greater than Solomon is
here! May God grant that through
your own practical experience you may
find that religions ways are ways of
pleasantness, and that all her paths are
paths of peace-that it is perfume now
and perfume forever. And there was
an abundance of spices; neither was
there any such spice as the queen of
Sheba gave to King Solomon.

Annie Bender, the eighteen-year-Old
daughter of Mrs. Margaret Bender, of
st. Clair street, did an act Wednesday
afternoon that was worthy of a strong
and courageous man, and may thereby
have saved two lives
Some time Wednesday afternoon
flames were noticed on the roof of Claus
Steffens' house Neighbors rushed hast
lily over to alarm box 24S, but the de-
partment was hindered by the awful
roads from reaching the house prompt
ly.
In bed on the second floor of the
house, directly under the blazing roof,
lay Mrs. Steffens and her two-day-old
infant. Several women rushed up stairs
to carry Mrs Steffens and her baby out,
but a physician, VINO had just arrived,
forbade it. He said the fire was not
spreading rapidly, and the fire depart
ment would probably reach the house
in a moment. The minutes went rap
idly by and the engines did not come.
Then Miss Bender resolved to act
She placed n ladder against the caves,
seized an AK and climbed to the roof.
With a score of blows she chopped
away the shingles from around the
flames, which had then spread but a
few inches from the chimney. She
worked with all her might and main
and soon had all the intlammable ma
terial cut away.
While she was thus engaged two
other young women stood by Mrs. Stef
fens' bedside, and determined to re-
main there until it became evident that
the house would burn, when they
would carry her down stairs.
Just as Miss Bender finished her
work hook and ladder company g.
from the new fire station on Windsor
avenue, came, the wheels covered with
mud and the horses foaming and per
spring from their hard pull through
the horrible streets. \ few minutes
work with the extinguishers put out the
fire with no very great loss.
Miss Bender's brave act no doubt
prevented a serious destruction of prop
erty if not, indeed, the loss of the two
helpless lives just beneath the roof

Strategy.

Even an extremely aggressive enemy
can be easily conquered by strategy; it
is only a question of employing the
stratagem exactly fitted to the case.
An open air preacher of East London
understood this very well, and his
stratagem fitted to a charm. He was
addressing crowd, when a soldier who
had been drinking came up and loudly
ridiculed the service.
Finding that it was useless to ignore
the man, the preacher said, ''Ah, my
friend, you're no soldier; you've only
borrowed those gay, red clothesl No
servant of the queen would get drunk
and interrupt peaceful service"
The man warmly protested that he
was soldier, and invited the preacher
to test him.

condition allowed. "Right about face -

with some trouble.

the valiant soldier, marching down the
Mile-end road at a vigorous pace, while

4 paradox which has been inherited
from the Greeks-that of Achilles and
the tortoise-is familiar.
Achilles (the swift footed) allows the
tortoise a hundred yards start, and
runs ten yards while the tortoise runs
one. Now, when Achilles has run a
hundred yards the tortoise has run ten
yards, and is therefore still that dis
lance ahead. When Achilles has run
these ten yards the tortoise has ran one
yard. When Achilles has run the one
yard the tortoise has run one-tenth of
a yard. And Vhen Achilles has run
the one-tenth of yard the tortoise has
run one-hundredth. 1t is only neces-
sary to continue the same process of
reasoning to prove that Achilles can
never overtake the tortoise.
Of course it is a fact that -chilles
does overtake the tortoise, nOtwith
stand this apparently logical reasoning
to the contrary.-New York Tribune.

Madndss stares you in the face.
SIeepIessness is simply a rapid road to the
insane asylum.
You, and thousands like you, rush blindly
to the verge of insanity, softening Of the

without knowing or realizing the fearful con-
sequences.
Men allow care, anxiety, or business trou-
bles to drive sleep from their eyelids, while
women, with unstrung nerves and excitable
temperaments, pass hours upon hours each
night in sleepless, restless misery.
No great calamity can befall you than tn
become sleepIess. sleep is more necessary
than food, and you must nave IL or face
deadly consequences.
What wonder that there are so many shat
tered nerves, tired brains and debilitated
bodies, when consider the thousands who
pass restless or disturbed nights and rise
mornings feeling indescribably miserable,
dragged out, scarcely able to face the days
work! What wonder so many rise mornings
from their BEDS where they have lain with
weary lids and sleepless eyes, tossing from
side to side, or simply catching short, unre-
freshing maps filled with dreams, feeling
heavy-headed, irritable, with pale faces,
haggard looks, dull and heavy-ringed eyes,
and go about their daily employment with
tired limbs, exhausted energies, nerveIess
and ambitionIess!

The SPICE OF RELIGION.

Well my friends, you know that all
theolOgians agree in making Solomon
a type of Christ, and making the queen
of Sheba type of every truth seeker;
and | shall take the responsibility of
saying that all the spikenard and cas-
STA and frankincense which the queen
of Sheba brought to King Solomon are
nightly suggestive of the sweet spices
of our holy religion Christianity is
not a collection of sharp technicallties
and angular facts and chronological
tables and dry statistics. Our religion
is compared to frankincense and to
cassia, but never to nightshade. 1t Is
a bundle of myrrh. 1t is a dash OF
holy light 1t is a sparkle of cool
fountains 1t is an opening of Opaline
gates 1t is a collection of spices.
Would God that we were as wise in
taking spices to our Divine King as
Queen Balkis was wise in taking the
spices to the earthly SOIomonl What
many of US most need is to have the
humdrum driven out of our life and
the hundrun out of our religion. The

THE STORY OF SOLOMON.

Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of
his throne between twelve lions in stat
uary, and sits down ON the back Of the
golden bull. the head of the beast
turned toward the people. The family
and attendants of the king are so many
that the caterers of the palace have to
provide every day one hundred sheep
and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and
the venisOn. | hear the stamping and
paving of four thousand fine horses in
the royal stables There were impor-
tant officials who had charge of the
work Of gathering the straw and the
barley for these horses, King Solomon
was an early riser, tradition says, and
used to take a ride out at daybreak,
and when in his white apparel, behind
the swiftest horses of all the realm, and
followed by mounted archers in pur-
pie, DIS the cavaIcade dashed through
the streets Of Jerusalem | suppose it

o'clock in the morning to look at.

great naturalist the world ever saw.
Peacocks from India strutted the basal
tic walk, and apes chartered in the
trees. and deer stalked the parks, and
there were aquarums with foreign fish,
and aviaries with foreign birds; and
tradition says these birds were so well
tanned that Solomon might walk clear
across the city under the shadow of
their wings as they lowered and fitted
