snnoonted hr sweet odors.

The Sybarites slept on beds stuffed
with rose leaves; the tyrant Dionysius
had his couch filed with them; Versus
would travel with a garland on his head
and around his neck, and over his litter
he had a thin net, with rose leaves inter
twined. Antiochus luxuriated upon
bed of blooms even in winter days and
nights, and when Cleopatra entertained
Antony she hand roses covering the floor

piled so many at one of his banquets
that several Of his guests were suffocated

rbe Number ..rhreo, ia the bible.

When the world was created we find
It and its surroundings composed of three
elements-air, water and land the
whole lighted by the sun, moon and
stars. Adam had three sons mentioned
by name, and so did Noah the patriarch.
Daniel was thrown into den with three
lions for the crime Of praying three
times. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego were rescued from the fiery fur
mace. Job had three special friends.
There wero three patriarchs-AbrahaIn,
Isaac and Jacob. Samuel was called
three times; Elijah Frustrated himself
three times on the dead body Of the child;
Samson deceived Delilah three times be-
fore she discovered the secret Of his
great power, and the Ten Command
ments were delivered on the third day.
Jonah was three days and nights in
the whales belly. "Simon, lowest thou
me?" was repeated three times. Paul
makes mention of the Three Graces-
Faith, Hope and Charity. The famous
allegorical dreams Of the baker and but
Ter were to come to pass in three days.
Then we have the Holy Trinity-Father,
Son and Holy Ghost; the sacred letters
on the cross were three in number, they

Hunting zebrns.

After crossing the usual heated yell
low plains, looking for all the world like
an expanse of overparched hayfields and
dotted here and there with droves Of
springbol1, we outspanned two and so
rode back again across the hot, weary
plain for camp. We had not long quit
ted the forest before we sighted a good
troop of Burchells zebra, feeding quiet
ly. We spread out in line and rode up
to them.
The troop, which consisted mostly Of
mares with a yearling foal or two, was
guarded by an old stallion, who stood
sentinel nearest to us with his head up.
Presently, turning half round, he gave
some sort of signal and the rest of the
band galloped briskly off, curveting
and capering as they ran. After moving
few hundred yards the troop suddenly
wheeled round in line to have a good
look at us again.
These tactics Of the zebras were dis
played in a retreat of some miles, the old
stallion always covering the rear, until
the troop, outhanked by Dove, shot of
TO the right and my chance came. gal
loped hard to intercept them, and as
they stood for a minute on seeing me in
tho line of fight, got steady shot at
200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on =
barn door, and as the troop continr,
their fight sa, ,.a zeb.t turn away
alone. Presently she stood again.
was soon within sixty yards and will
another bullet finished her She proved
to be a fine mare in beautiful coat anl
her head and skin now decorate room
at home.-Longman's Magazine.

err taught him the proverb. He
was a poor boy, and was hired 70
an errant-boy by n merchant. He
took pains to do everything we'll.
This pleased the merchant, and he
gave him something better to do,
advancing him as he grew older
from errant-boy to under-clerk, then
to head-clerk, and finally admitted
him as partner to the business,
until he at last became owner of the
very store where he first began by
doing the very little things we'll.

Got Even with the Borrower

a popular young fellow who is
widely known in athletic circles
tells this story:
II was in the office of a friend OF
mine on Walnut Street, above
Fourth, the other morning, when a
rather seedy-looking young chap
came in, and nodding to him in a
jaunty manner, said:
"'Billy, old man, want to bor-
row a dollar
"'H-m-m-m,' replied Billy, slow
ly; well, if remember rightly, l
loaned you dollar last week
$50 you did, said the visitor,
but I'm dead strapped and must
have a dollar now
BILLY pondered " moment, and
replied:
"'Well, you're no good; I'm con-
vinced OF that, and 30 I'll not lend
you dollar, but III give you one;
how'll that do?'
First rate responded the
shameless striker, and then, after a
moment or SO, as the cash was not
forthcoming, he added: We'll,
where's the dollar you are going to
give meP'
