with burglars at his house, one morn

among his wedding presents was a
music box. To this happy circum-
stance he attributes the fact that the
burglars did not succeed in carrying
of everything there was in the house.
One of the burglars in rummaging
through his drawing-room stumbled
across the stored music, and thinking
probably that it contained jewelry or
silverware attempted to open it In
doing SO he set the music machine in
motion, and presently Mr.. Meany was
reused from his slumbers by the touch
ing strains Of "Auld Lang Syne." Mr..
Meany got his gun and started for the
burglars, and they started for a WIN
dow. He arrived Mt the drawing-room
doorway just in time to see two burg
lars leap;ng from the window. He
fired, but the robbers continued their
fight. One Of them stumbled in get

After the Europeans Destroyed 1t the
Pieces Grew Together.
At Yakadama. Japan, there is .
costly temple for the sole purpose of
affording q shelter for one of the
grinders of an ancient god of a certain
IIindoo sect. This palace is known by
the high-sounding title of ''The Palace
Of the Sacred Tooth" and is a costly
and elegant structure in every sense
Of the word.
According 10 the mythology of
India, the god who formerly owned
the tooth pulled it ont to hurl it at
gigantic cobra when the irreverent
,erp, mt had been 81 indiscreet as to
make an attack at his godship In
the latter part of the last century
Europeans captured fakadana and
partially destroyed the tooth palace.
The tooth itself. which had been an
object of heather alteration for
centuries. was ground to i powder
and thrown into the river.
Bnt the particles came together, so
the I!indoo priests say, and again
formed themselves into perfect tooth,
which was found after the siege quietly
reposing in the bed OF the stream.
The temple has been rebuilt. and the
tooth, more revered than ever since
the attempted destruction. is again
enshrined as an object of alteration.
