Ruins OF THE TEMPLE OF BAAL.-
There rises a huge wall % feet high,
enclosing q square court, ofwhich the
side is 80 feet long. Part of the wall,
having fallen into ruins, has been re-
built from the ancient materials, but the
whole Of the north side, with its beauti-
ful pilastcrs, is perfect.
As the visitors enter the court they
stand still in astonishment at the ex-
traorlinary sight which meets their
ewes. for here, crowded within those
four walls, is the native village of Tad
NOR. 1t was natural enough for the
Arabs to build their mud huts within
these ready-madc fortifcations. but the
impression produced by such i village
in such place is indcscribably strange.
The temple, so to speak, is eaten out at
the core. and little but the shell re-
mains. But here and there tiuted
Corinthian column or group of columns,
with entablature still perfect, rises in
stately grace far over the wrctched huts.
the rich. creamy color Of the limestone
and the beautiful lnoutdlngs OF the capl-
tails contrasting with the clear blue of
the cloudless sky.
The best view of the whole is to be
obtained from the roof of the naos,
which. once beautiful and adorned with
sculpture, is now all battered and de-
faced and has been metamorphosed into
squalid little mosque. To describe
the view from that roof were indeed a
hopeless task. High into the clear blue
air and the golden sunshine rise the
stately columns crowded and jum-
bled and heaped together below, un-
touched by the gladdening sunbeams,
unrefreshed by the pure. free air. lies
all the squalor and wretchedness of an
Arab and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Why Jennie Lind Left the Stage.

Why Jennie Lind Left the Stage.
One matter which must be of interest
to every lover of dramatic art, and
which has been an enigma to many
people, is now for the first time dealt
with by one with authority to discuss
the question. Why did Jenny Lind quit
the sage at the moment of her greatest
glory. and many years before her un-
rivaled powers had begun to suffer and
decay? Some have perhaps reluctantly
accepted the widely prevalent idea that
she had come TO regard the dramatic
profession rs an unholy thing which no
purc-souled woman could remain in
without contamination Happily this
notion can be entertained no longer.
Her intimate friend Froken Won Sted-
ingk with reference TO ii says: Many
suppose this resolution to he the result
of pietism. Jenny Lind is rs God-fear-
ING as she is pure, but had pietism been
the cause, she would not herself have
gone to the play, which she declared
she liked to do TO see others act. The
fact is that to appreciate her motive for
leaving the stage is to understand the
whole character Of the woman. Her
distaste for IL seems to have begun
with her first great European success,
aud steadily grew rs her fame spread.
In 1910 she had lived for ten years n life
of incesSant hard work on the stage !;
yet in the following year she wrote
from Paris, Life on the stage has in 1t
something so fascinating that | think,
having once tasted it, one can never
feel truly happy away from it." But
in 1915, Just after her transcendent sue
cess in Berlin, the idea of leaving the
stage had not merely occurred to her
mind, but had already become q fixed
determination. Among the dominant
ll2tes of her character were love Of
home and craving for domestic peace.
This craving was TO great extent sat
isfied while she remained in stockholm,
and especially during the time she lived
with the Lindblad family. But when
her destiny drew her in relentless
triumph to Berlin, Vienna, Copen-
hagen, London. her domestic instincts
were wrenchcd and tortured, and she
/ found no compensation in allthe glitter
Of her success. Il am convinced" " said
Herr BrocIhaus. in April, 1916, that
she would gladly exchange all her
triumphs for simple home happiness.
| That was the secret of the whole mat
! ter. And so she formed the resolution
to quite the stage forever, q resolution
in which she never wayered from 1919.
when it first took definite shape, till
she carried it out in London in the sum
mer of 1S49-Chrisim0S Century.

THE BLUE, LEAD.
Rich Prospects in the Vicinity of Oro-
VILE.


While.
oroville Register.
DIR. Allen Of Bangor was in town on Tues
day. and speaking of the blue-Iead mines at
that place said everything was looking en-
cOuraging. The Catskill Company had
shaft down 142 feet and had run tunnel
about 100 from the bottom of the shaft.
They had to hoist their paydirt, dump
water and force air down four-f0ot shaft,
and thus work under some disadvantages.
The bed Of gravel was about twenty feet
in depth and was paying we'll. The chan
mel was wide and the bed promised to last
for years. He heard 1t said that for the
seven days run, ending on Sunday,
the company had cleaned up $500,
but he could not tell whether this
was true or not. The cement had to be
blasted with giant powder and then run
through an arrastra. The owners of the
Bishop mine had things about ready to
start up. They had new and good maehn-
cry, aud would work rapidly as soon as they
begun to raise dirt. They had steam power
arrastras like the Catskll company, but
owing to more favorable conditions he
thought they would be able to crush more
cement per day to the man. Hays 81 Clark
have good prospect. and will probably get
rich returns. They have struck the blue
lead on CAPTAIN j. w. Smiths land near
the Kentucky ranch, and have run quite
cut there by means of water brought from
the North HOncut. DIR. Allen is convinced
that these mines are extensive and perma-
nent. There are nearly 80 men now en-
ployed, and larger number will be added
as new mines are opened and the present
ones have greater facilities Tor getting out
cement and crushing it,

tell what he was coming to Texas for.
When all we're through it came his turn and
he said: 81 am going to Texas TO establish
a character. l have not got any at home
and l am going to try to establish one in
Texas"
He settled at Baileys Prairie. and soon
after trouble commenced with the Mexicans
and he participated in the battle of Veaseo.
He carried home with him a cannon-ball as
a relic of this fight
When lie came to die he requested to be
buried standing up, feet under the earth,
which would require grave OF more than
II feet in depth, as lie was 6 feet inches in
height. he also requested TO be buried with
his rifle. 100 rounds OF ammunition, butcher
knife, two plugs OF tobacco, one bottle of
whisky, his dog and the cannon-bal from

A WILD MAN.
He is Turned Up This Time in Santa
Rosa.
santa Rosa Democrat

santa Rosa Democrat
Al Hutchings. an employe at Markham's
mill, discovered a wild man last Monday
that is more than a match for the one
Sheriff MuIgrew unearthed a year ago.
Hutchings was strOlling leisurely in the
bushes about two miles from the mills when
he heard cracking sound proceeding
from clumD of live oaks. He thought it
was bear and stood for a few seconds
with his rifle ready to get shot at the sup
posed bruin when il emerged from the coy
ering. When the creature did make IFS
appearance u presented sight that made
HutchingS' hair stand on end. 1t was moth
ing more nor less than human being, hav-
ing a wild, mantaeal look and COW
cred down to the knees with a growth
of long and shaggy hair. Hut hings
stood as If rooted to the spot. The wierd-
looking creature strobe or half-leaped out
into the CLEARING and Looked about as if
fearing some one was near. Being evil
IDENTIFY satisfied that there was NJ intTuders
in the vicinity, the wild man gave vent to. a
deer, cultural sigh and seated himself on
his launches. During this time Hutchings
cautiously retreated behind a neighb9ring
tree, from which point of vantage he OBJ
tanned a complete view of the freak. Hut
chings states that the wild man was about 5
feet s or inches in height. The hair which
fell from his head was fully two feet long,
very matted and Of a reddish hue. His face
was scantily covered with growth OF beard
of sandy color.
From the shoulders to the knees a thick
hrsute growth covered the body to such an
extent that it appeared as If the man wore
wooden garment, so effeetually did it cover
his person. After sqGatting on his launches
for few minutes the strange specimen of
humanity stretched himself out for a nap in
the blazing sunlight. Fearing to rouse the
Wild man into active hostilties were he to
make his presence known. Hutchings
quietly slipped away, leaving the strange
son OF Adam to enjoy his repoSe in peace.
No one living in the vicinity of Markham's
has even seen the man before.
From Hutchings' description, the wild
man is about 40 years Of age. II is sup
posed that he is the same individual who
startled the country in tie vicinity of
Gualala about eight years ago By his sud-
den and unexpected debut 1t is believed
that he is an escaped lunatc who has long
been given up as dead. Hutchings and
three men intend to search the country and
capture the human freak, if they can do so
without taking his life.

OUT OF THE BAG.
Tale OF the Hueneme Small Boy and the
NatSs
Eueneme Herald

Eueneme Herald.
Some years ago, when A. j. Salisbury was
superintendent of the wharf company. the
mice and rats began to cut the grain bags in
the warehouses TO an alarming extent, and
all sorts of efforts were made to annihiIate
them. Poison was used, terriers were
tried. but the rodents kept at work. Finally
Salisbury concluded TO get back TO first
principles, and to lay In supply Of cats.
The boys about town were notified that 10
cents apiece would be paid for cats. and the
fun began. Cats began pouring in from
all quarters; there were toms and tabDies
of all hues, old and young and Of every
condition Of previous seTyitude After
the secretary had been kept busy for
about a week, making out cat warrants,
Salisbury dropped in one day and said
Say. young fellow. lust see how many cats
we've bought so far" The books showed
total OF 437 "What" said the superinten-
dent, '437, why there amt over 40 down
there all told" The secretary humbly sug-
be photographed. This set Salisbury think
ing, he smiled little in that way of his and
started off. That afternoon he str0lled into
the office again and remarked, lust cancel
that order for cats. A little while ago
boy brought in baglul and when the first
one jumped out my boy said, why that's
our cat, Ginger and sure enough lie made
a bee-l line for home. Fairbanks says he's
certain that same cats been bought six
times so far. Many of the others bad a
familiar look and | believe some. of those
cats have cost US at least 81 80 so far
Let's quit on cats"
