To be model Is business Of itself.

The "Tomb Or Cain.

The early traditions concerning the
caty OF Damascus are curious and inter
eating, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. By some Of the ancient
writers II was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site Of the garden
OF Eden, and just outside there is a
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, it is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
held Is called Ager Damascenus. and
near It's center there formerly stood a
pillar which was said to mark the ure-
cise spot where our first parent was Gre
ated. A few miles out there is an emi.
nence called the Mountain Of Abel, gup-
posed BY some to be the place where the,
nrst two brothers offered their sacri.,
ilces, also the spot where the FIRST mur.
ger was committed. The most interest.
ing spot pointed out, however, ID abopt
tnree leagues from the city, where an .
old ruin is shown which ali the orient
believe to be the tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian era
oy several hundred years. Up to the
time Of Vespasian the interior Of the.
TOMB is said to have been lighted and
warmed by one of the ever burning
lamps 50 commonly used by the an.

The Eiasr Dumas.

4 OF his Sheridan-like dealings with
tradesmen an anecdote is told. During
scarcity Of ice a neighbor Of Dumas
liant to dealer for some and was told
that the limited stock on hand was kept
Tor the use Of tho famous author. Then
the gentleman sent again and bade his
servant ask for the Ice In the name OF
n. Dumas. The plan succeeded. Ths
ice was given, and the servant put down
the money on the counter. "Ah,n cried
the tradesman, give me back that ice !.
Now ! know that you are not from M.
Dumas. He never pays ready money. !"
My father, said NJ. Dumas fls,
"onoe told me that ii he could portion
out a new life he would be handsome
woman till 30, victorious general
from 30 to 30 and cardinal in his old
age" Dumas, as he related this par
entail desire, glanced toward Rossini and
added: Il should prefer to close my life
as an illustrious composer. Mon cher
Rossini, when you enter a room, the very
lacquer pronounces your name with
pride as he announces you.''
Then turning to the company he con-
tinued: Announce, for instance, NJ. 10

THE GREAT DEED is DONE

With one stroke Of his pen Mr.
Cleveland has disrupted the demo
cratic party. His veto Of tn,
seigniorage bill was not unexpected
although there was lingering hopt
among democrats that he would
have enough consideration for the
party to permit the bill to become
a law without his signature. There
is no expectation that the bill viii
pass over the presidents veto, and
it probably puts an end to all silver
Legislation during the term Of this
congress. But it will not put an
end to silver agitation throughout
the country; it will only stimulate
it.
The reasons assigned for the veto
are dishonest, absolutely dishonest.
Mr.. Cleveland is not such a NUT
ton-head chump as to believe that
there is rapid improvement in
our financial conditions. Heknows,
as every one knows, that there is
an impending crisis in the financial
affairs of the whole world, and be
would have been more honest if be
bad said that he feared to do any
thing that would precipitate that
crisis. But when he speaks afI
wishing to avoid anything that
might check the rapid convalesc-
ence Of our monetary conditions,
he simply makes himself ridiculous.
L be had given an honest reason |
Tor the veto, be would have said
that he vetoed it in the interest ofI
the NATIONAL banks and Of the WALL
street speculators. The president
may deceive himself, but be can't \

There wasn't much in the seign-
forage bill Of importance, except
that it stood for a principle. WEI

one-man power to be brought to Ii
the conclusion that the president
has right to set up his individu i
judgment in opposition to the rep

DR.. Emil Young. professor Of physi-
ology at the University of Geneva, is
in great distress concerning the future
of our legs. He suggests, in an essay
ia the Semaine Litteraire, that in
course of thousand years the human
race may have lost the necessity of the
use of legs, and retain those members
of the body solely as ornamental sur
vfvals Men refuse more and more to
walk, though walking is the whole
soonest of physical exercises. Steam,
electricity the rope railways, tricycles
and bicycles have changed Che VIII ole
aspect of Swiss touring, as he says, in
his own generation. Everybody seems
anxious to get everywhere any way ex-
cept by the use of his legs" In an
other generation, he supposes, our
travelling balloons will hang outside
our windows, or our electrical coaches
stand outside our doors. They will be
produced so cheaply that every man
will have his own chariot. Hence our
legs will become superhuous, then they
will be crippled and shrink to hideous-
ly small dimensions, until at last they
will finally disappear Our arms, on
the contrary, will correspondingly
strengthen and lengthen. while our
legs remain says DR.. Young, ''let us
march all we can. "-Westminster Ga
Zette.

EARLY SCOTCH HOSPITALITY.


We have an interesting account of
hospitality in 1929. which gives good
idea of the manner in which country
gentleman of the period lived. Dinner
and supper were brought in by the
servants with their hats on. a custom
which is corroborated by Fynes Morv-
son, who. writing in 1898, says that,
being at a knights house who had
MANY servants to attend him, they
brought in the meat with their heads
covered with blue caps. After washing
their hands in basin, they sat down
to dinner. and Sir James Pringle said
grace: the viands seemed to have been
plentiful and excellent, big pottage,
long llale. bowe of white kale, which is
cabbage, 'breoh sopps, powdered beef,
roast and boiled mutton, veniSon pie
in form of an egg, GOOSE then they
had cheese cut and uncut and apples.
But the close of the feast was the most
curious thing about it.
The table cloth was removed. and on
it was put towel the whole breadth
of the table, and half the length of it,
basin and ever to wash, then a green
carpet ldl'l on. tlSA olc cup u DccI SCI
on the carpet, then a little long lawn
serviter. plated up shilling or little
more broad laid cross over the corner
of the table and glass of hot water
set down also on the table, then be
there three boys to say grace, the first,
the Thanksgiving: the second. the
Paternoster; the third, prayer for Il
blessing to Gods church. The good
man of the house, his parents, hinsfolll,
and the whole company they then do
drink hot waters, so at supper, then to
bed. the collation. which is a stoupe
of ale" The whole account, it must be
said. is not very ineligible, and it
must have been a somewhat formidable
prelude to the post-prandial today
