Once, as Solomon was consulting with
his grand. vizier, Azrael, The angel of
death passed by and gazed curiously at
the vizier, who instantly in alarm en-
treated the king to lend him the magic
carpet, and bade it transport him to
the center of Arabia No sooner had
he gone than Azrael said to. the king:
II looked at that man so closely be-
cause, having been hidden to summon
his soul from the center of the great
desert, I saw him to my surprise stand
ing here with you"
Mr.. Browning agreed that the legend
was a magnificent illustration of the
two truths that no man can ever es-
cape his destiny, and that often he full
fills it the more certainly by the very
endeavor to escape it. But, he add
ed, IT have heard the legend in far
finer form. In this version the king
and the vizier were standing together
on the topmost pinnacle of the temple,
to which they had assembled by vast
fight of steps. AS they stood there
talking, they saw a man approaching
them with his head bent; but as he
came to the foot of the steps he cast
one glance upward. and in that one
glance both of them recognized the
awful lineaments of the angel of death
He began slowly to mount the steps,
and then the terrified vizier borrowing
the magic carpet, desired to be trans
ferred to the loftiest summit of Cau-
casus. The angel assembled the steps
and said to the king: I have come be-
cause I was hidden to take the soul of
your vizier from the top of Ell Brouz,
and I saw him here. Angel said the
king, bowling his head and pointing
with his finger. he awaits thee on the

not have even loft, or second story, as

was entirely constructed with an ak

THE FIRST BOTANIC GARDENS.

After the discovery of the medical
properties of plants it must have fol-
lowed in course of time that represent
atives (of the species to which remedial
properties We're attributed should be
collected and grown in some place con-
veniently and readily accessible,as need
demanded. The last step did not imme-
diately follow, however, since among
the conditions which were earlier sup
posed to influence the potency of me-
dicinal herbs the locality in which
grown and the mysteries attending
their collection We're of the greatest
importance The first authentic rec
ord of the introduction of medicinal
plants into cultivated plots of ground
dates no farther back than the time of
the elder Pliny, 1919 AID, who writes
of the garden of Antonius Castor at
Rome in which We're grown a large
number of medicinal plants. This step
may have been taken much earlier by
the Greeks, Chinese or Mexicans, how
ever.
Later the Benedictine monks of north
ern Italy paid great attention to the
growing of remedial herbs and devoted
an important proportion of the monas-
terry gardens to this purpose. This
practice was also carried beyond the
Alps and in 1920 garden was in eX-
istence at the monastery of st. Gall, in
Switzerland, a few kilometers distant
from Lake Constance, which contained
sixteen plots occupied by medicinal
plants. A garden of this character was
founded in 1909 at Salerno and another
in Venice in 1880. In 1909 the Benedic-
tine monks founded an academy called
"Civitas Hippocratica' at Monte Cas-
sino, or Campania, which appears tc

schools, if not the first school of medi-
cine. and established in connection with

AN ODD CHAINLEss WHEEL,

Among the most striking novelties in
complete cycles at the New York cycle
show was a machine imported from
England by a prominent Brooklyn
tradesmen. 1t is a chainless wheel, but
front driving. The general appearance
of it's frame is that of the old ordinary,
or high wheel, but its saddle height is
no greater than that of the common
safety. 1t has front wheel about thir-
ty inches in diameter and a rear one of
about twenty. The rear wheel trails
from a curved backbone of the same
style made familiar by the ordinary.
There is no rake to the front forks.
They run sheer UP to the steering head.
The handle bars are curved first out
ward and then backward, so as to be
Immediately above the forks. The sad
die is on the SPINE as in the ordinary,
and the cranks are attached to theaxle,
so that there is slight forward thrust.
The gearing, which Is of the spur varie-
ty, is incased in a metal box This is
the first specimen of this machine ever
seen in this country, but in England
they have been on the market for sew
eral years. They are the product of a
veteran manufacturer, who finds a
ready sale for his output-New York

gymnaslums, the California woman
may regard herself as the American
Diana. Her beauty, which is known
from Dan to Beersheba, is the beauty
of health, of a sound digestion, of good
blood, and no nerves. Fresher COM
pleXions, clearer eyes and finer figures
are seen on Kearny street of q sunny
afternoon than on any other thorough
fare in the Union. These evidences of
Il radiant and bounteous health are as
cribed to several causes, the chief be-
ing climate and outdoor life. The ma
tive daughter does not dry up her COM
pleXion in the whitening warmth of the
furnaCe-heated rooms in which the
eastern girl spends half her winter.
She is constantly out-of-doors, where
she is neither pinched with cold nor
wilted with heat. Moreover, the eli
mate does not stimulate her nervous
energy. and this is conducive to that
untroubled calm which is one of the
secrets of health. Another cause is
that her veins are enriched with the
fresh, strong blood of sturdy ances-
try. The vigorous blood of the men
whose youthful energy drove them
from the country-house and farm to
turn their faces westward in 40, has
contributed to give the California wo-
man her splendid heritage of health

AN OLD LOG CABIN.

The Humble Home il Which Lincoln
First Saw the Light.
Twelve years ago the cabin in which
Lincoln was born was torn down, and
the logs were hauled to an adjoining
farm, and used in the construction of
another house The old farm had prac-
tically been abandoned. and nearly all
the people in the neighborhood had
quite forgotten, a second time within a
decade since the death of Lincoln. that
he was born on the Lincoln Spring
Farm" as the place has always been
called. The Lincoln birthplace is fifty
four miles southeast of Louisville. 1t
can be reached from Louisville by going
to Elizabethtown, in Hardin county, a
distance of forty-two miles, and then
taking another road from Elizabeth
town to Hodgensville, ride of twelve
miles. The Lincoln Spring farm is
three miles from this quaint old town.

Yenowine in the ST. Nicholas.
The original Lincoln cabin had been
torn down and the materials had been
moved away, as stated. by a man
named Tom Davenport, who used the
logs in his own house.
Mr.. A. w. bennett, a New York gen.
tleman, not long ago bought the Daven-
port house, recovered the logs, and, af-
ter much difficulty, restored the cabin
exactly as it was originally using the
very same timbers, door, window and
frames. 1t occupies the former site,

was when the Lincolns left it, The

THE BLACK SNAKE.
He is as Much at Home in Tree Tops
as on Terra Firma.

He is as Much at Home in Tree Tops
as on Terra Firn1a
There has been much discussion
among naturalists and in sportsmen's
journals regarding the ability of the
black snake, our one constructor, to
travel swiftly amid the branches. Ten
thousand men have seen the sleek black
streak of rope accomplish the feat cas-
lily. Here is but one incident:
The black snakes habitat includes
Illinois. Lasalle counts it not far north
of the center of the state and perhaps o
little west of the center line drawn
north and south. There are some very
good woods in Lasalle county, because
through that county run two of the
Mississippis tributaries-the Illinois
and one of it's branches, the vermillion.
Bailey's creek is one of the little farm
land tributaries of the Vermillion river.
Along the creek are reaches of wood
land, or at least there were awhile ago.
In these bits of woods-bits as compar-
ed with Michigan forests-there are and
have been black snakes, great fellows,
worthy Of their reputation farther east.
L his is WHdl HdppeIeQ one udy Wlell d.
young fellow went hunting. 1t is worth
telling because it illustrates the black
snakes nimbleness among the tree tops.
Wandering along cautiously and qui-
city, looking for a shot on either side,
the young man heard suddenly an I'M
common rustling among the leaves
above him He looked up and saw
something that astonished him. A fox
squirrel-and a fox squirrel is the big
gest of the squirrel kind-was leaping
from limb to limb, from tree to tree, in
mortal alright, evidently fleeing from
some deadly enemy. Close behind him,
curving, twining and twisting, but with
all details of it's locomotion invisible
from below, so swift its progress and
so easy it's passing from limb and from
tree, came three to five feet of black
ness. 1t was a black snake pursuing
the fox squirrel It's chase was hope
less, but the ability and the hungry
earnestness of this one constructor of
our northern woods were demonstrated
remarkably. AS for the man under
neath-well, he was a young fellow
with a shotgun. The young fellow with
a shotgun is reasonably good shot in
the country, and he kills snakes. He
poured a load of shot into that black
streak among the branches. and it
dropped to the ground, merely a foul,
dead, moderately sized specimen of
