A Lock from Nineyeh.

The very Oldest lock in existence is
!he n which formerly secured one OF
the doors of Nineveh. II Is a gigantic
affair, and the key to 1t, which is as
large as one man can conveniently car
ry, reminds n OF the Scriptural pas
sage, where the prophet makes refer
ence to such instruments being carried
IN the shoulder. The exact words re-
to are, And the key to the house
Of David | will lay upon the shoulder"
This enormous key Is nearly 3h feet
In length and OF the thickness OF a A.
inch drain tile. II was found at the
end of a ruined chamber. where a large
wooden door had probably once stood,
the gigantic brass hinges and heavy

THE QUEENS LUCKY DAY.
1t Was II Pretty Narrow Escape
Though.

IL Was u Pretty Narrow Escape
Though.
1t is a fact that not very many years
ago her majesty escaped complete
financial ruin by a mere chance, says
Peanson's Weekly. The failure of a
certain great bank Is within every
body's recollection. 1t came like a
thunderbolt upon the whole commercial
world. The deficit was not to be
counted in hundreds of thousands, but
in millions of money. AS for the mare
holders in the unlimited company, they
were liable, individually, to the whole
extent of the banks debt. That Is to
say, the owner of a Flo note share was
a part debtor of the &c, 900 900 or
II 900 900 that the bank was short.
This. of course. meant hopeless ruin
to the very richest of them. The first
call swept away the savings of a life
time Of the widow and orphan. In a
short time the weight of the debt had
attacked and swallowed up the middle
class holders of shares. Then, grind
ing as slowly and surely as the mills
of the gods" it reached the capitalist
and millionaire and left them sucked
dry and penniless. 1t mattered moth
ing whether they had one share or a
hundred, the result was the same
hopeless ruin.
Now it happened that some time be-
fore the failure a loyal Scotchman had
died, be|queathing sundry shares in this
bank to the queen. Her advisers sat
long in council considering this be-
quest, and her fate tire )lcd in the bal
ance. At last they decided that 1t was
beneath her dignity to hold shares In
a commercial undertaking. But the
comic papers got hold Of the incident
after the failure OF the bank and made
capital of it from the point of view OF
what might have happened" They
