King Solomon an EgOtist.

And yet this king (SOlomon) with his
magnificence and unrivaled power, this
shrewd judge, this skillful statesman,
this scholar with his wide culture, be-
came pessimist, and stands forth one
Of the saddest figures in all the his
tory Of melancholy. But if we analyze
his misery we find that he was pessi-
mist not because men are disciplined
by conflict and trouble, but because he
was a confirmed egotist.
Had men used printing presses In
those faroff days the first letter to be
exhausted in setting up Solomon's
copy would have been the capital letter
81" 81" builded me houses, 81" got
me soldiers, 81" wrote proverbs, "I'
had manservants, 81" had maidserv-
ants. Through Unsuitable egotism Solo
mon lifted up this 81" as a columnar
hitching post, and asked all creation to
stand around and admire him. But
simplicity is to a great man what
sweetness Is to rose. A bloated and
overweight egotism makes happiness
impossible.-Rev. Newell Dwight Hill

Unchecked Brutality.

1t is very different, the treatment OF
domestic animals in Paris. There, II
YOU live in q hotel on one of the mar
row streets of the Latin quarter, you
will be kept awake all night long by
the never ending cracking of the whips
and the whitening cuts as they are laid
hard and singing over the backs of the
limping, half starved horses that draw
the voitures and fiacres.
If q cab horse stumbles and falls to
his knees in Paris, the driver does not
run to the nearest apothecery's for 70
confines worth of liniment to battle
the scratched knees. as the London
cabby does for tuppence worth. he
simply gets down from his seat and,
taking the butt end Of his whip, beats
the horse over the head until he clam
bers to his feet; then, after administer
ing a couple Of kicks from a No. 10
hobnailed boot, he mounts his box and
drives along.
The tram horses are constantly Della
bored with a whip and sworn at In the
argot Of Paris, and the result, strange
as it may seem, is that 1t takes you
longer to 90 mile in a fiacre In Paris
with the horses being whipped all the
time than it does the same distance in
London when not once during the drive
will the animal feel the touch Of the
lash.-Detroit Free Press.

A Rascally Valet.


Won Bunsen told me that Humboldt
In his latter days was completely I'M
der the influence of a rascally valet
named Seiffert, and, to the disgust Of
his friends, bequeathed to him all his
effects, Of little value, it is true, for the
old man left no property of any &C
count. Even his private letters and
papers went to the wretch.
The king and the queen, said Won
Bunsen, were for years In the habit OF
sending Humboldt present on his
birthday. At length 1t became diff
cult to know what would be acceptable
to the old man, whose wants were so
few and tastes so simple. 1t was their
habit to send an aid-de-camp to him
few weeks before his birthday to as
certain, if be could, the sort Of gift
likely to be most acceptable to him,
and whatever that might be, Of course
1t was sent.
Shortly previous to one Of these an
niversaries, and in reply to Similar
inquiry, the royal couple got word that
the philosopher would be pleased to
receive a double bed. They wondered
what In the world could have put 1t
into Humboldt's head to ask for
double bed, having probably never
slept in one in all his life and having
been habituated from childhood to the
least luxurious sleeping arrangements
imaginable.
The old man died, however, before
the expected birthday anniversary ar
rived. 1t then transpired that the
provident valet had concluded it would
be nice thing for him and his wife to
have a spick and span new bed with
the royal arms upon it, and had taken
advantage of the kings regard FOR
Humboldt to try getting one at their
majesties' expense.-JOhn Bigelow in
Century.

How to Get Rid of n Crowd.

The late Prince George generally
dined on his balcony, during which
time his Cossacks played delightful
airs from the Russian operas. Crowds
Of people came to stare most rudely, so
one evening there was a very dis
agreeable smoke which swept over
them and drove them away. | had the
curiosity TO find out the meaning. A
stove had been filed with bark and
leaves and placed in such position
that the smoke was driven right into
the faces of the people, and | could
imagine the quiet laugh that went
around the imperial dinner table as
the people dispersed as sheep having
no shepherd.-Review Of Reviews.
