A Truthful Man.

There was no one but the proprie-
tor in the office when the man in sail
or clothes came into the Office and
cautiously closed the door behind him,
"You smokes" asked the visitor.
"Yes."
"Want somethin extra dirt cheapT
"What do you meanf"
Cigars. These never saw the Gus
tom house" And he pulled box
from under his arm and opened it.
Like many another individual, the
man in the Office was weak and ready
to profit at thegovernment's expense
"How much2" he asked.
-Four dollars" " was the answer.
The bargain was closed, and the
mariner started for the door.
Hold on" exclaimed the other as
he bit a sample of the goods. This
is domestic tobacco. Didn't under
stand you to say these cigars had
never seen the custom houseT

streets wien Historic Names.

We do not regard the names OF
our streets as matters of political i'm
portance. On the continent 1t ls
otherwise. One of the first things
revolutionary government in France
does is to rename thoroughfares.
There is some show of reason for
such innovations, for in these things
there is among most European ma
tions a system. A glance at the
name plates in the streets of Paris Is
a lesson in history, or at any rate IN
history since the great revolution
Most celebrated French victories are
commemorated in this way most
great generals and statesmen and a
goodly number of men famed In arts
and letters. We have, it is true
our Trafalgar square and our water
loo bridge, but we look in vain ioi
Crecy or Agineourt in our streets
We have an insular dislike for Tor,
eign names, and happily most great
English victories were won on ior'
eign soil. il.-London Daily News

Merely a sneeze.

sneezing is an indefinable physical
activity. which every one fully under
stands as a fact, but which no one
appreciates physiologically or scien'
tifcally. No one can sneeze simply no
cause he would like to, and no one can
help sneezing when the physical i'm,

theory is that you sneeze when a cold

EARLY CIVILIZATION.
Light Thrown Upon the Manners and Gus
toms of 3, 400 Years Ago.

Light Thrown Upon the Manners and Gus
toms of S,4Oo Years Ago.
We have become possessed of GER
tain very important indications as to
the early civilization of Palestine by
means of clay tablets. Now that
the knowledge so attained is alto
gether new, or that it conflicts with
that which has deduced from yet
earlier Egyptian records. 1t is well
known to scholars that Thothmes
III, when he defeated the league of
Hittites and the Phenicians at Me-
giddo, in 1900 B. G. "a century before
Amenophis III acceded), reaped a
spoil which indicates the advanced
civilization of Syria, including not
only the precious metals and chari-
OTIS painted and plated, but also OBJ
jects of art having high aesthetic
value, and that he found corn, wine
and oil abundant in the country and
many hundreds Of walled towns in
which there were already temples of
the gods.
Such evidence has, however, been
slighted by those.'who regard the
early Hebrews as savages, and who
think that though placed in the very
center of the ancient civilized world,
between the Egyptians and the AS
syrians, they were nevertheless un
acquainted with many arts and unin-
fuenced by surrounding culture.
The new discoveries insist on quite
another understanding of their an
cient history.
1t is surely a lesson of humility
that the modern student should
learn from such discoveries. Vol
taire was no doubt a writer of great
originality and acumen, though from
our present standpoint wonderfully
ignorant of antiquity. He finds 1t
hard to believe that Homers poems
could have been written down before
500 B. G. and asserts that papyrus
had not been invented in Egypt IN
the time of Moses, though we now
possess in the maxims Of Ptah-hotep
q manuscript as old as the pyramids.
We find, on the contrary, that not
only in Egypt or in Mesopotamia was
the art of writing known in the time
of Moses, but that the inhabitants OF
Palestine also could pen brick epis-
tie, which in the space of few
inches contained as much informa'
ton as can now be condensed into a
sheet of note paper. Such letters were
neither heavy nor bulky and could
be carried in the turban or in the
folds of the shirt bosom just as easl-
ly as paper letters are now so car
ried. with the additional advantage
that they were imperishable, as is
witnessed by the fact that they are
now being read 3,4OO years after
they were written. Edinburgh Re

Called on him in his SUFFERING.
But ono who knew the lions woe

Because, as far Us he could learn.
The tracks which went did not return.
So him the Hyena accused
And told tho Lion he refused

Then said the Lion: "If t so.
wish, my friend, that you would 70.
And, though you chase him for n yea.
Bring the hard hearted Jackal here"
When this the Hyena had done,
The Lion to his guest begun:
20 Jack0l, why, when was i'll,
Did you keep OF so far and still7"
Il did not, uncle, on my word,
For when your sore distress heard.
Unto the doctor swift few
To see what no could do for you;
Besides, did not go in vain
BE told mo what would ease your pain.
He says, Draw this Hyena's skin,
And when it's off get quickly In;
Health will be yours IL you do so,
For this Hyena is your foe."
Then jumped the Lion in trice
To take the Jackal's shrewd advice,
And while his sheriff's skin he stripped,
To be in lis warm folds equipped,
The Jackal ran with all his might,
And very eoOn was out of sight.

Book. with Their Backs to the Wall.


The library in Wimborne Minister
is today as perfect specimen as
could anywhere be seen in medieval
times of the inverted order of rang
ing books. Near the middle of the
south aisle a door opens into a YES
try, from which we ascend into the
minister library, formerly called the
treasure chamber.
The volumes, said to number 24O,
stand on the shelves with the cut
edges of their leaves toward the spec
tator, except some half dozen turned
about in modern fashion by accident.
On an upper shelf there are 81 vol
umes, 10 of which, forming set, are
numbered on their leaf edges. The
names of others are inscribed in the
same way on several books OF the AZ
on a lower shelf. Each tome, wheth-
or above or below, is secured by a
chain riveted into the left side OF the
cover, which also has ring fastened
TO an iron bar running along the
edge of the shelf A sloping consul
tation stand very much like a plle-

He had been,a wicked man. He
boasted of it. He ridiculed the idea
of a hereafter and cursed the Bible
and religion. Men and women came
to speak with him, SO that he might
not die as a dog, but he Knocked and
cursed them. We who were watch
ing for the end saw the shadow of
death when it fell. He realized that
life was ebbing, but still he cursed
and reviled. An hour before he died
the wife of wounded sergeant came

with her a little fair haired girl of 4
or years old, and as she talked the
child slipped away and wandered up
and down the aisles to inspect the
cots and their occupants. A score of
us tried to coax her nearer, but she
was coy and bashful.
When she reached the cot whereon
lay the bounty jumper, the pallor of
death on his face, but fighting the
specter away, she paused and stared
at him. When he saw her, smile
fitted over his face and the fierce
light died out of his eyes for the first
time. He beckoned her to approach,
and to our great surprise she hesitat-
ingly advanced until she stood beside
his cot. The mother rose up in alarm,
but the nurse whispered to her not to
call the child.

he shivered and died
