story of King Solomon ard his wisdom.
Now. dears. who was the great queen

LEGEND OF s0L0MON's RING.

The Talmud tells some curious old
legends about Solomon. One is that
he had a ring on the possession of
which depended the keeping of his
kingdom. Once Solomon went into the
bath and left his precious ring on a
shelf, when a concubine of his, Amina,
stole the ring and the fiend. Sakhar,
fiattered Amina and wheedled her out
of the ring, and Sal1lar took the form
of King Solomon and ruled in his stead.
Poor Solomon was put to it to regain
his power, but he raised such a first
class incarnation that Sakhar got
afraid and threw the ring into the sea,
and a fish swallowed it, and fishermen
caught the fish and found the ring. 1t
was restored to Solomon and with it
he recovered his kingdom.

nLANTEL DECORATIONS.

The dressing of mantel is often a
difficult feat, and when not done well
is certain to mar the harmony of the
entire room. A pretty way to arrange
a mantel for delft blue bedroom has
a drapery of dull blue denim, with a
wide hem turned up on the outside, and
closed with heavy white linen floss.
over this is draped a soft scarf of
white dotted muslin, caught up at each
corner in soft punches, through which
the blue shows delicately. Back of the
mantel is a plate glass mirror framed
in white enamel and gold. In the CEN
ter of the mantel stands a tall delft
jug in dark blue and white. At one
end is a plaque of Wedgewood china,
and at the other end a tall blue vase.
A dainty card receptacle is in the form
of huge water lily, made from white
chir1 with a handle of green glass,
initiating a thick stem.

Hon. John Henry Smith made a gen
timely Republican speech in the Salt

but that is what his words implied. He
stated that. in his belief, the American

At the Mckinley meeting at the thea
ter Tuesday night Ex-Governor A. L.
Thomas was the principal speaker, and
he made a genuine Mckinley Republi-
can speech. Such a speech in Utah is
somewhat of a rare bird, and naturally
draws some attention. There was one
statement made by Mr. Thomas. sta
tistical one, which we believe to be rad
ically wrong. He stated that last year
there was brought into the United
States goods made in foreign lands
S147 ,0O0,0 600 worth more than there was
the year before. This will generally be
understood to have reference to the
years 1895 and 1894 The total imports

is wrong. The dutiable imports for 1895
were SS6S. 7S6. 40; those for 1894 were

imports was S102, $50. 2S4, though Mr.
Thomas made no mention Of this fact
