On examination the surface Of the
eyes gave no indication of any defect
but that might be so and blindness still
exist. Applying tests of the strongest
light, the girl professed herself to be
absolutely unable to distinguish be-
tween light and darkness. Other tests
were resorted to, trying in their ma
ture, and some of them very painful,
and these were all borne with patience
and courage. The doctor was puzzled
and bafled. Apparently the girl was
stone blind, but he was unable to solve
the problem of those eyes, to discover
the cause of that blindness, or say just
where the defect lay.
The doctor was more than half-dis-
posed to grant the desired certificate,
when, as a last expedient, he hit upon
a novel experiment. He dismissed his
patient with instructions that she
should come again at certain hour
the following day, and this gave the
oculist time to arrange for the carry
ing out of his plan. When the girl
came the next day the doctor had her
securely blindfolded with a heavy
bandase over her eyes. He then took
a tiny mouse which he had procured
and held the lovely little thing by It's
tail before the girls face though not
touching her. while he ordered the
bandage removed. No sooner was the
bandage off than her screams rang
through the place and her eyes were
wide with terror at ten harmless little
rodent which had thrown her so COM
pletely off her guard and exposed the
imposture OF course, she saw II or
she would not have screamed. Need
less to say the applicant did not get
that certificate.

Young girls have been said to be

rocco than anywhere else in the world.
The country abounds in color. There
are miles of delicate white broom, pale

bright poppies bathed in sunshine and
perfume and the Moorish girls are like

The Remarkable skulI-LAISe Hill
North of the Damascus Road.

From the Christian Advocate.
Just north of the Damascus road and
about equally distant from the Damas-
Gus Gate and the Gate of Herod. rises
a hill about 80 feet above the road. The
side facing the city walls is abrupt
and resembles in a remarkable degree
the upper part of a skull. The hill is
fat on top, and for 1900 years has
been a buryng ground. Thus, in two
particulars the term "a place OF a
skull" will apply. Down to A. y. 500
slaughter house was located on the
northern slope Of this hill. This spot
exactly fulflls every requirement of the
sacred narrative.

fixion came out Of the Damascus Gate.

FISH AS POsTMEN.
Instances I'm which They Have Per-

From Bit.

From Tit Bits.
A very extraordinary case of a Ash
acting as a letter carrier comes from
Reyjavik, in Iceland. On April 20 of
last year a certain Capt. Christensen
| of the steamship Laura received an
unimportant letter from the sheriff of
Vesterman while the ship was lying at
the latter port. Having perused the
missive the captain threw 1t carelessIy
overheard, and his establishment may
be well imagined when, on the 18th
or the following month, the identical
communication, soiled and disfigured,
was handed to him by the consul of
Reyjavik. to which place it had act
ually travelled in the stomach of a
large Goldfish, and had been extrlcated
from the same by a local fisherman.
Seeing that Vesterman lies some $50
miles from Reyjavik, the letter must
have Travelled that distance between
April ~ and May IS, the piscine post
man consuming just over two weeks in
it's submarine journey.
There have, however, been cases be-
fore this of fish undertaking the car
riage of letters. Some fifteen years ago
whale, which was stranded on the
south coast of France, was found, upon
being cut open. to contain a mail bag,
wherein there reposed many hundreds
OF letters. The bag in question formed
part of a collection which was being
conveyed to Gaudaloupe by a wrecked
vessel, and the letters. though some
what dingy, were in a perfect state of
preservation. They were at once sent
on to their destination. each letter be-
ing marked on the outside. Delayed

Rather amusing was the following:

abrupt fashion by the receipt one MORN

that the missive had been posted TO

that town. IL seemed that the latter
had found the note i'm the interior of

quainted with English. he had entered
into the humor OF the situation, and
had without delay posted the communI-

A Phoenix dispatch to the Star
says Governor Murphy returned
to Phoenix today after an absence
Of six weeks, in which he and other
Arizona representatives were in
Washington feeling the pulse of
Congress with regard to statehood
for this Territory. The Governor
says that early in the session the
statehood advocates entertain little
hope of securing admission this
session, because of the crowd of
more important measures in Con
gress and because the Delegate
from Oklahoma, which has present
ed more claims for admission than
any of the other territories, mani
tested no disposition to press his
demands this session. A majority
of both houses according to the
Governor favor early admission,
and he believes Arizona's claims
will be acted upon favorably next

GRAND BANQUET
Given by Superintendent Calquhoun to
HIS Foremen

MS rorSmen
According to his annual custom
Supt. Calquhoun, Of the Arizona
Copper Co., gave a banquet to his
foremen. The banquet was held in
the Free Reading Room building in
the large library room. Two tables
the full length of the room were
beautifully decorated with flowers
and other artistic decorations.
Covers were laid for one hundred.
This banquet differed from previous
ones in the fact that prominent
citizens other than the foremen
were invited.
When everyone was seated the
spectacle presented was beautiful
to behold. The table contained all
the delicacies of the season. The
smiling faces of the guests made an
elegant border. Toasts and
speeches were the order of the
evening. A sufficient amount of
humor was forthcoming to keep
everyone laughing and one of the
most successful and pleasant
spreads yet given, was the verdict
of all.
A program was carried out, but
the writer was unable to obtain it.
Among the noted company officials
was, J. G. Hopkins, one of the di-
rectors, who is in Clifton on two
weeks visit direct from his home
in Albermarle county, Virginia;
James Calquhoun, superintendent
and manager; A. T. Thompson,
treasurer and Il. M. Williams, SUI
perintendent of the mercantile de-
partment.
These annual banquets clearly
show the kindly feeling of the
superintendent towards his en-
ployees.

Two young people Of Jersey
City, desiring to marry and not
having enough money, have enter
ed into an agreement, which was
duly drawn up before a Justice of
Peace, to contribute weekly TO the
raising of a fund of $500. If in
two years the sum has not been
achieved the idea Of marriage is to
be forever abandoned. This device
has many points of merit in the
teaching of economy, the test of
affection, and so forth, but the most
striking thing in the arrangement
20 the outsider is that the woman
10 10 contribute $40 week and the
man only IS. This is not because
his incidental expenses will be
greater than those of the woman
during the two years, but because
though both are stenographers, be
is making only $40 a week, while
she makes S14. At this rate, be-
fore the end of the present century
the man will not be expected to
contribute at all.
