Carlyle took friend, much youn-

his usual way INDUCED in a monologqe
In which, nevertheless, his companion
was much interested. Once or twice.
however, the friend yentured to put ip
a word or two of objection IN regaH
to something said by Carlyle. This an

reached home he turned upon his COM

lowing warning: Young man, I'd have

being the greatest bore in Europeln
The poor man had hardly spoken doz-
ed words; but, since these had been
critical, they had made him seem t.
Carlyle potential bore of colossal pro-
portions.
Many men in this way get unjustlyI
called bores. They venture to doubt
some statement made in conversation
and are at once branded with the most
terrifying of names. These unfortu-
nate persons are in truth not bores at
all, but merely the innocent detectors
of the latent capacity of boring in 9TH
ers. Carlyle showed by his speech what
was indeed the fact, that lie, not hts
friend, possessed the potentiality of
boring. 1t is true that his great i'm
agination generally saved him, but he
often went perilously near the line.
Had he not been the man Of genius he
was he would assuredly have been the
greatest bore in Europe.-London Spec

It was IL Boston street car. When

when she took car for home, she
met friend and grew interested in

coin in the slot abseEtmindedly. The
driver turned as it struck the box. You
remember the coin fell into glass
compartment first, and then the driver
pushed a lever which sent it into the
strong box below.
"As my wife heard the click OF the
lever she thought of her five dollar

Sure enough, it was gone. She went
forward and spoke to the driver. He

New York sherirs.

The reason why the sheriff Of New
York cannot be elected to two success
siye terms is this: 1t is the sheriff's
duty to carry out the process of courts
against official delinquents during trial
and after conviction. Should a sheriff
endeavor forcibIy to hold over for a
second time after having been defeated
FOR reelection he would be the instru-
ment of the courts process against
himself, a paradoxical position which
the law avoids by. making him ineligi-

Animal Worship Among the Hebrews


The Old Testament records show,
notwithstanding the various revisions
through which these venerable books
have passed, many indications of ami
NAL worship among the Israelites
which must have lasted for ages be-
fore the prohibition inculcated in the
second line of the Decalogue was for
mulated. At comparatively late date
Jehovah was worshiped under the
popular symbol of bull, while the
twelve oxen upholding the LAYER In
Solomons temple, as well as the horns
adjoining the altar, were drawn from
the prevalent bull worship"
Modern research has also proved that
the cherubim were represented in the
form of winged bulls. M. Lenormant
in his famous book on the Beginnings
of History" says that during the time
of the kings and prophets s''most as
suredly the cherubim, as there describ-
ed. are animals" "a II. p ii, .

be furnished with a solid steel fact to
flash in the face of the woman who
insists that the corset is life-saver.
When Mrs. William Halliday died at
Buffalo a few days ago, post-mor-
tenn examination was made, and the
doctors found two pieces of corset steel
in her flesh. One of these pieces had
penetrated her heart. 1t is supposed
that While very tightly laced she must
have bent her body or been struck
by something, so that the steel ribs
broke and iammed themselves into her
side.
This is one of the most terrible dis
asters on record, and the doctors must
not neglect to put it to good use as
an awful warning. There isn't the
slightest probability that the unfor-
tunate case of Mrs. Halliday of Buff
falo will cause any woman to quit
wearing corsets, but as long as the
doctors must argue on this subject il
is fortunate that they may at last
back themselves up with something
| more than theory.
