tried to buy it from the princess. To

Glass Houses.

There were whole streets in Tyre en-
tirely occupied by glass works, and
ii is stated that the first glass houses
were erected in Tyre The glass houses
of Alexandria were highly celebrated
for the ingenuity and skill of their
workmen ana the extent of their man
ufactures. Layard, in writing about
his discoveries among the ruins of
Nineveh and Babylon. says: In one
chamber were found two entire glass
bowls, with fragments of others. These
bowls are probably Of the same period
as the small bottle found in the ruins
of the northwest palace during the
previous excavations and now in the
British museum. On this highly in
teresting relic is the name Of Sargon,
with his title Of king OF Assyria in
cunciform characters and the figure of
a lion We are therefore able to fix its
date to the latter part Of the seventh
century +. &, 1t is consequently the
most ancient known specimen Of trans
parent glass"

Handling n Boa Constructor.

Snake dealers in South America have
a fine contempt for their squirming
and venomous wares, though it is
sometimes difficult to induce ship cap
tains to carry them as freight. The
snake dealers handle the boa cOnstric-
tor with great deftness. This serpent
bites, but his bite is not venomous, so
that the chief danger to the handler
is from the Serpent's enormously pow
erful muscles. The dealers have learn
ed that the boa to be really dangerous
must have Il fulcrum in the shape Of
something around which he may coil
his tail. The boa is. in fact, a lever in
which the ordinary arrangement is
power, weight. fulcrum. Knowing this,
the dealers drop soft hat over his
head, that he may neither see nor bite,
and then snatch him so suddenly from
his resting place that he has no OPP
portunity to brace himself by seizing
fixed object with his tail. After that
the essential thing is to see that he
is not brought within distance of any
such object

STEPS TO HEAVEN.
The Legend of How Mount Omi's
Stairway Was Cut.

Mount Omi, on the border between
western China and Tibet, has the long
est staircase IN the world. On top Of
the mountain there stands a Buddhist
temple, around which gather some Of
the holiest traditions Of that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the Chi
nese.
To facilitate the ascent Of its slippery
sides some 10000 steps have been cut
In the mountain, forming a single
flight, up which the pilgrim tolls.
Because of its inaccessibility few Eu-
ropeans have ever visited the spot, but
number Of travellers have ascended
the stairway and are positive that 1t Is
no legendary myth.
There is a legend that In earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of requir-
Ing every pilgrim who would gain es-
pecial benefit OF his journey to cut
single step.

Where Is the SOnILocatedf

At different periods in history since
men first became imbued with the idea
that human beings were possessed of
souls various ideas have been ad
vanced as to the exact spot which that
intangible something claims as its
scat. Within the past thousand years
reputed authorities on psychology have
located it i'll widely separated sections
of the brain as well as in several other
organs of the body. such as the heart,
liver, spleen and spinal cord. About
the year 1889 DR.. 4. III. Stevens Of
San Francisco gave the world his
views on the subject, declaring that he
believed it 10 be situated in that por-
ton of the brain known to the anatO-
mists as the corpus callosum. More
than 800 years before the speculative
philosopher above mentioned startled
the world with his announcement of
the discovery of the souls seat it was
believed in Greece, Rome and Egypt
that it was located in the pineal gland
of the brain. This gland is little sac
containing calcareous grit and for
which the psychologists have not dis
covered any particular use. The dis
cussion of the subject is an interest

lilies. No one ever had heard Of any
trouble on this account, but the lawyer
hadn't been in the village month
when there was trouble enough over
the wells alone to keep him busy for
days. People charged each other with
drawing more than their share of the
water and with damaging the pump or
bucket, and hot words always led to
threat to begin a lawsuit
1t was four miles to the nearest JUS
tice Of the peace, but within three
months of the lawyers coming he had
seven lawsuits to his credit and double
that number on the way. Every one
who had one suit seemed to ache for
another, and the party who was beaten
was prompt to take an appeal.
The crisis came when Uncle Jerry
Thomas, one Of the most peaceful men
in the world. suddenly decided that the
Baptist church, which had bought a
piece of land from him, had cheated
him and should be sued for a greater
price That took in everybody who
hadn't any lawsuit on hand, and Hills
dale was preparing for fresh cam

peared. His lawbooks and his furni-

one knew of his going until next day.

see about a suit and found this notice
tackled on the door:

LIQUID LITIGATION.
The Trial by Ordeal That Finds N

The Trial by Ordeal That Finds a
Place In Perak.
In Perak lawyers find no business,
for a modified form Of trial by ordeal
decides all disputes. In place Of the
legal practitioner the pleader Is a ma
tive boy who is assigned to one or the
other of the sides and is given a bam-
boo tube In which is sealed the plead
ing of the person or party whom he
represents.
When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed Of a stream, and
by aid Of a bamboo pole the heads Of
the two boys are submerged at the
same time.
BY grasping the stakes they are en-,
abled to remain under water for quite
awhile after their natural inclination
would bring them to the surface, but
at last one of them gives in and, re-
leasing his hold Of the stake, comes to
the air.
He is Immediately seized, and the
tube he holds is cast aside. The other
lad IS led ashore, his tube opened, and
the document contained therein stands
as the decision in the case-New York
Herald.
