the lowest price that has ever been

HOW GREAT SCHOLAR wooep.
Or. Samuel Johnson's Final and Con
vincinq Argument.

vincing Argument.
DIR. Samuel johnson married a Mrs.
Porter yof Birmingham. That lady's
daughter thus described the doctors
wooing: His appearance was very
forbiddiDg. he was lean and lank, so
that his immense structure of bones
was hideously striking to the eye. and
the scars of the scrofula were deeply
visible. He also wore his hair, which
was straight and stiff, and separated
behind; and he often had. seemingly,
convulsive starts and odd gesticula.
tions, which tended to excite at once
surprise and ridicule. Mrs. Porter was
so much engaged by his conversation
that she overlooked all these external
disadvantages and said to her daugh-
ter: This Is the most sensible man
that l. ever saw in my life" Mrs.
Porter, who was twice Johnson's age.
was not easily won. Urged by her
learned lover to say why she still re-
fused him, she said IAN uncle Of hers
had been hung and she did not wish
to bring disgrace on him" SIS that
all?" said Johnson. why, though
have never had an uncle hung. have
two or three uncles who deserved It.
so let's get married and say no more
about that"

Decline OF Genius.

There is much to be said In favor
OF the theory that nature is growing
chary of geniuses, and that the race
no longer produces men of abnormal
mental stature. 1t is quite certain
that modern masterpieces in art. In
architecture, In music and In iitefa.
ture are exceedingly rare, ii they
exist at all. In all that pertains to
beauty-beauty OF form, beauty OF
color, beauty of sound, and beauty Of
thought-we are immeasurably behind
the period CT the Renaissance.

The Lover and His Lass.

Behind the lattice, rose entwined,
Hidden away from sight
| place my chair ut close of day,
There IN the sunset light,
Afar from stress and strife, l sit
Alone. to watch and wait
For the lover and his pretty lass
To pass the garden gate.
l peep out through the roses bloom,
To hear their voices sweet
To see the lovelight In their eyes,
As on the lightsom feet
They climb the slanting hillside
AT the moss-grown spring to rest
And speak those words, OF all In life,
The dearest and the best.
They wot not that lone old wife
Watches with such glad eyes
Their passing to the trysting place
That on the hillside lies.
But years ago, when life was young.
Oft at the close of day.
Another lover and his lass
Together walked that way
Now, through the roses bloom II brings
The Aovelight back once more.
The sweet togetherness" that bound
Our hearts In days OF yore;
And 30 the lonely watcher prays.
God bless them" MS they pass
To our old trysting place at eve
The lover and his lass.

Markings of the Moon.

Probably even In prehistoric times
men have noticed the face of the
man In the moon" Plutarch noticed
1t and even wrote whole book about
the face In the moon. But besides
this, many other objects are supposed
to be visible. The dark markings on
the surface are likened by the Chi.
nese to monkey pounding rice. In
india they are said to resemble a
rabbit.

Anyone who has ever watched

heavy body into the air. The natives

Tho Truth About Mount Sinai

The Truth About Mount Sinai.
Was Mount Sinai volcano? Prof.
Hermann Gunkel of Berlin answers in
the Affirmative. He bases his argu.
ment on various incidents set out in
the Old Testament. Thus, Sodom
and Gomorrah were destroyed by a
rain of fire and ashes. Again, in
Exodus we are told that black cloud
hung over the mountain; thunder and
lightning appeared, and the old
mountain stirred. Taking them to-.
gether the professor considers that
Sinai was an active volcano. toward
which Moses led his people, who saw
in the fury of an eruption the expires.

otilI WORK Tor WOOD Cdrvers.
The work Of the Independent wood
carver has greatly changed since the
days when the wooden figurehead was
necessary part of every ship that
sailed the seas, yet work for the wood
carver has not decreased In quantity
as much as might be imagined, for
with the disappearance Of the ships
figurehead has come a great increase
in architectural carving, the making
of newell posts for stairways, decora.
tive panels and the like. Many wood
carvers are now engaged in making
animals for carrousels, and this work
Is very similar to that Of making fig.
ureheads, about the same degree Of
art being required and the two prod.

upper parts of the city have had scarce
" any water. He fears a repetition of
the terrible experiences of the months

annoyance. and anxiety were so serious

these experiences with horror.
Consul Holiday says that for much

greatest care was a general epidemic
avoided.
