ture In Minute Detail for Biblical

ness by Moses during the journey Of the
children of Israel from Egypt to the
Holy Land has been reproduced In min
iature and in costly detail at Utrecht,
Holland, in the Biblical museum. 1t is

museum. Raised about table-height
above the level OF the ground, the court
of the tabernacle is no less than 20 feet
long by about ten feet wide, and is
strewn with sand brought from the will

ernacle was first pitched, and Is sur
rounded by curtains of fine linen made
expressly FOR the model from Egyptian
flax
Sixty pillars of pure silver uphold the
curtains The altar of burnt Offering Is
made of stone taken from one Of the
original walls of the temple platform at
Jerusalem and It is filled within with
earth brought from the Haram area
the site of the ancient temple OF the
Jews. The seyen-branched candlestick,
ark, incense altar, table of shewbread
are made in pure gold and are veritable
works of art Two miniature tables of
stone, made from piece of granite rock
of Mount Sinai. on which are engraved
the Ten Commandments in minute He
brew characters, may be found IN the

Peterborough. England makes

brickmaking yards. which have grown
up in great number round the ancient
city in the last 20 years, turn out 500

sums which you were to have at his
death | believe the amount is now
something like a couple of thousand
pounds, and this shall be paid in to
your account as soon as the lawyers
can arrange It,
Thanks awfully," drawled Richard.
He knew in his heart that Sir Arthur
was acting nobly and generously, even
as he would have acted had their posi-
lions been reversed. Yet back Of it all
was the knowledge. common to each,
that woman had come between them.
that the. both loved her, and that only
one of them could possess her. This
hardened both of them.
But Richard had begun the interview
badly, and the Dysart pride, which was
fully as bad as the DySart temper,
would not let him descend from his
lofty perch And although he knew he
was wronging his brother grievously
by the suspicion, the tiend within COM
PEELED him to continue

Sir Arthurs patience was exhausted,
and even his affection could not with
stand this last thrust, coupled with
what had gone before. Still, as Rick
waXed hot, he grew cool.

duty. More you could not ask; more
you shall not have. wish you good
morning and a better temper"
With these words he turned away,
and was for stepping out on the lawn
But in a couple OF strides Richard was
by his side, a strong hand on his
shoulder, so as to swing him round,
and they stood face to face, one as hot
as molten iron. the other as cool as
chilled steel.
"All very fne." Rick sneered. Now
that you've got the title, | suppose you
think you'll capture the lady besides.
But don't be too sure"
The caddish thrust told. The baro-
net luivered, and then steadied
himself as does a good fencer when h is
enemy's foil touches vital spot. His
eyes blazed, yet still he kept admirable
outward control of his temper With
cool and cutting irony he rejoined:
If the lady gets you, shall be the
first to congratulate her on her eX-
ceedingly wise choice She might do
better. | do not see how she could do

Then he passed out to the grass
paused, and again turned to where
Richard stood, speechless with rage and
chagrin, saying as though to mere
caller:

he continued in answer to the mute
and appealing inquiry in her eyes.
Leaving England" she replied in
deep contralto tones; and why?"

as jauntily as he could.
But surely" she began, when he
took the words out of her mouth,
'Oh. yes, Sir Arthur has done the
handsome thing so far as money Is
concerned, but we've had a beastly
row, and | can't touch penny. So
I'm going away.

Richard was very, very young, or
he would have known that one of the
surest ways to a womans heart is self
depreciation, especially when that
woman is in love with a man. Because
then she has the satisfaction of prov
ing, among other things, that her idol
is not made of clay.
For Rick ii was a relief thus to
make confession, to loon into her
troubled eyes, their depths stirred for
him, as he felt, and to divine that she
at least would not be Indifferent to his

Shoes selling at 81 900 a pair are the

To style 1t a shop would be to insult
the artisans employed therein.
They call it "footgear institute. y

than curative orthopedist," says the
New York Herald.
The wearing of these 81 600 shoes is,
in the main, a hobby, and is based on
nerves gone wrong.
For there are some persons, 1t seems,
who are plagued with sensitive nerves
in their feet which ache so excruciat-
ingly that nothing can assuage the pain
but shoes prescribed by physician

The learned cobbler listens to a tale
of the ache, with attending nervous dis

The English Are slow.

In no other country. says the London
Lancet, have the people been slower to
realize the value Of the application OF its
own scientific discoveries to technical
industries than in England. Notwith-
standing all the splendid discoveries
with which English scientific men are
Justly accredited. the applications OF
these discoveries to the improvement of
the arts and the industries have been
utilized almost entirely by German
manufacturers. considerably to the dst-
