Female suffrage sometimes leads
20 amusing mistakes. A candidate al
recent election in Australia, where
the women have votes, tells o story in
this connection The cons tituency was
a seaport town, and one of the burn
ing issues before the electors was the
question of berthage rates. A wom-
an voter came &c him and asked wheth-
er he was in favor Of imposing these
berthage rates. because If he was she
would take care that neither her hus-
band nor herself would vote for him.
A little discussion of the matter re-
vealcd that fact that the woman was
under the impression that the question
Of berthage rates related to poll tax
on babies. The candidate now doubts
whether the average female voter is
not under delusion. or, perhaps, say,
a spell.

SEARCH FOR JEWISH RELIC.
Ark Of the Covenant ThouE hi 10 Have
Been Buried In the Rains Of
Lara Hail In ireland.

There are actually many persons
who believe that the ark of the
covenant win be discovered in the
ruins OF Tara Hall in Ireland. The
Eagle has told of the sale Of this
historic site and OF the history OF
1t. To-day there is large gang
Of men working amid the ruins with
the object OF finding the ancient sa-
cred Jewish object, says a London
report.
There is a story that would seem
to show that the ark was carried
there and found a resting place in
the ancient Druid temple. The story
and argument runs like this:
The Bible relates that when Neb-
uchadnezzer carried of to Babylon
the better classes of the people of
Judah he gave orders that the
prophet Jeremiah should have full
liberty to do as he liked.
After the insurrection in which
Gedaliah, who had been made gov
ernor by Nebuchadnezzar. was slain,
the chief men decided that it was
to remain in Judah and
face the anger of the king Of Baby
Ion. Therefore they went to Egypt,
carrying with them the kings daugh-
ters and Jeremiah.
1t is considered almost certain
that Jeremiah. longing as he did
to the priestly order, would take
with him such 1sraelitish objects as
had left in Judah
as being Of no value. These would
include the stone ON which Jacob
laid his head at Bethel, the pot OF
Aaron's rod and the two ta-
bles Of stone upon which the Com.
were engraved. which
we're stored in the ark.
During their stay in Egypt these
refugees fell into llolatory. causing
yreat pain and anrfbyance to Jere-
niah. So much. indeed, was this the
.ase that it is believed he quilted
he country with Baruch and 9TH
RS to seek a final refuge in one
4 the colonies of the Israelitish
ribe Of Dan (Denmark) This the
ny is supported by the last verse Of
he forty-ffth chapter Of Jeremiah.
