Thought 1t Was aBaby.

When one of our citizens opened his
front; door this morning and started to
20 up town he was surprised to see q
good sized bundle lying on the steps
leading to his porch. Whatever it
might be it was neatly and carefully
wrapped in newspapers. The man
stopped and hesitated moment before
investigating, then tore the paper
enough to disclose the. contents.
Then smile o'erspread his counte..
nance for moment and he tenderly
took up the bundle and carried it into
the house. The remainder of the family
were still at breakfast and as the man
walked into the dining room he ex-
claimed in notes Of surprise, For God's
sake, look what L found on the door
STEP" His wife almost screamed as he
laid the bundle tenderly in her lap, and
was afraid to open it for time, but hn.
ally got her courage up, and 10! it was
nothing but mess Of string beans that
a neighbor had sent over before the
family was up.
What might have proved to be good
story was soon spoiled.

Rameaes In Wood.

Now that there is so much talk about
the durability OF Australian tlmbers, It
might not be out Of place TO consider
some other hardwoods that are nearer
to hand than the Karri and Jarrah
forests OF Westralia. There Is In the
British museum a life size wooden
image Of Rameses H.. the famous Sc
sostrls, which seems to be In a perfect
state Of preservation. AS this par
tlcular Rameses hourished over thirty
two centuries ago we may fairly take
1t that this piece OF timber from the
Nile valley Is at least 1000 years old.
and II Is practically certain that It has
passed through many trying vlclssl.
tudes. such as being buried among ru-
ins, submerged in Nile foods and the
rest. Westralian wood enthusiasts who
have lately been boastlng that Jarrah
can stand the wear and tear OF hfty
years or more had better ponder this.

well to see II there are any forests
available for cutting down by Dongola

The Holy TnhcrnnnIo.


The custody Of the holy tabernacle
In Jerusalem was one OF the ostenslble
causes Of the Crlmean war. and as to
Its authenticity there has heen conflict
among students for centuries. The
tomb, which was for hundreds Of years
buried under a mass Of earth. was ex-
humed by the Emperor Constantine,
who, II Euseblus Is to be believed,
knew OF its location by means OF rec
ords handed down from the time OF
HadrIan. In whose reign the tomb was
covered over. Constantine brought to
light the rock sepulcher which by his
orders was trimmed Off and lncased in
a sort Of shrine of ornamental mason
ry. Around this be bdllt circular
cloister and erected a graceful tower
at the eastern side. This building was
standing three centuries after when 1t
was destroyed by ChosrOcs. king Oe
Persia, but soon built up again by the
monk Modestes. II was seen Mt the
end Of the seventh century by Bishop
Arculf, a French pilgrim. who left a
careful description Of It. Almost In
Vulnerable changes were made after
this, which finally resulted In the
Church OF tho Holy Sepulcher that ex.

to the ground just before the church
