MONREALE CATHEDRAL.

Thought by Many To BE "the Nobiess
Church In tho World"
Monreale, by many deemed "thc mo-
blest church in the world" together
with the vast Benedictine abbey and
cloister-"a monastic Alhambra" (now,
alas! falling to ruin)-was created
cathedral in 1882 by Pope Lucius III,
who, looking on the work, exclaimed,
1.-THE like of this church hath not been

Among the many queer stories related
In the old Jewish Talmud is one con-
corning the action taken by the great
race of giants at the time OF the deluge.
According to Rabbi Eliezer. when the
food broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed, IF all Of the waters Of the
earth be gathered together they will
only reach to our waists, and IL the
fountains Of the great deep DO broken
mn we will stamp them down again. !"
The same writer. who was one OF the
compilers of the Talmud. says that they
actually tried to do this when the food
finally came Eliezer says that Og, their
leader, "planted his foot upon the foun-
tain Of the deep and with his hands
closed the windows Of heaven. Then,
according to this same queer story.
"0od made the waters hot and boiled
the flesh from tho bones Of the naughty
giants.
The Targum Of Palestine also says
that the waters Of the food were hot
and that the skin Of the rhinoceros lays
in folds because he was not allowed to
enter the ark, but saved himself BY
hooking his horn under the sides OF the
vessel and floating with it. But the
water which was directly under and al
the sides Of the ark was not hot-the
rhineroceros loosened his skin swim
ming from o mountain peak to the side
Of the vessel. One account says that %
and another giant named Lami also
saved themselves by taking refuge IN
the cool water under the edge OF the
ark's hull, along with the rhinoceros,
One rabbinac authority quoted by Gould
in his "Patriarchs and Prophets" says
that Og saved himself by climbing upor
the top Of the ark, and that when Noaf
discovered and tried to dislodge him hs
swore to be q slave TO Noah's family

Touch Thousands Of Homes.
A majority Of the mothers complain OF
the neglect and brutality Of their husbands,
caused by excessive drinking habits, and
say they are hungry and almost shelterless,
not because they are poor through illness,
or because OF lack Of work, but because the
men spend their wages ut saloons One
woman, aged about 30, told story more
than half century long In few words:
az married q man who was good to me
as long as was young and nice looking.
My mother did the same thing with the
same result, and her mother met the same
fate nearly 60 years ago, and I suppose
this baby will 60 and get drinking hus-

Robert II. Patton Of Illinois Makes q
Strong Plea For Prohibition.
In closing public address at Spring
field, Ills. Mr.. r H. Patton, writer Of the
national Prohibition platform, said:
when I return TO my homo tonight, the
object of chief concern TO mo will be the
cherished forms Of my two darling boys
and sweet little girl Suppose that In that
home In one corner had stored all my
wealth In bag Of gold or silver. Suppose
10 were milliona Now, suppose as / near
my home see the flames leaping over tho
roof Of my house I rush through the
crowd Of my neighbors and find In one
room my little children sleeping, unmind-
full Of the flames above them, and In the
other room II my bag Of gold. I have just
time to rescue one or the other. AL my
wealth must perish or my children. II
were ficnd enough to save my wealth and
let my children perish, would be seized
by indignant neighbors and thrown back
into the flames TO perish with them
81 would az soon think Of thus acting
the inhuman part toward my children as
to think of giving my political sanction,
for even one election, to . party that In
tends to continue the legalization of the
work of robbing heaven of tho noblest and
best boys Of our fair land The flames
might lick up the lifeblood Of my chill
dren. but their little spirits would mount
up and rest In the bosom Of the Master.
But II my ballot and your ballots, my fell
low citizens. shall continue to legalize
dram selling In our public streets, 1t may
be some sad day my boys or girl viii prove
some saloon demon 3 prey, and then must
bid them good night forever. Not till
some chilling blast Of selfishncss from the
very demon Of iniquity shall dry up all the
love in my heart for my dear ones, my
home, my country and all humanity, Will
cast n ballot that sanctions such ruin ol
any child Of mine or my brother man"
