City Where Time Halts.

Most travellers, / think, will award
to Damascus, in Syria, the palm of be-
ing one Of the most untouched" OF
Oriental cities, lovely ancient snow.
white garden, surrounded by forests
of pomegranates and other orchards
such as caused the Arabs, a thousand
years ago, to speak Of it as a pearl
encircled by emeralds."
Time has stood still in Damascus for
thousand years and life goes on in
the country outside its walls precisely
as itidid when the ancient Bible his.
torian spoke of the city in the Book
of Genesis. For there, plowing is
done with a crooked bough drawn by
a ragged camel or by the Arab far
mer's wife in double harness with a
donkey.
There, too, and likewise within the
walls, one sees the long lines Of indo-
lent Eastern women drawing water
from the well, just as Rachel did or
women sitting before the doors Of their
houses grinding corn in the old Bible
way, with upper and neither stones.

The Same Old Cat.

When the ten-year-old clipped out
of the house at daybreak, says
"Chums," he left a note stating that
he was "of" to fight Indians. The
Zoe could not be found, however, and
when night came, hungry, tired and
homesick little boy crept back to
his fathers house under the cover of
darkness. The family, however, did
not receive him with open arms.
When he went into the library, father
kept on reading his evening paper,
mother bent over sewing and sister
kept her eyes glued to a book. The
cat alone seemed aware of the return
of the prodigal, and rubbed his soft
fur carelessly against the lads legs.
The would-be terror of the redskins
stopped to pet him, then Strengthening
up and swallowing a lump in his
throat, he demanded YEARLY, "Is
this the same old cat you had when l
went away ?"

Don't XIII the Birds.

There are about twenty-five million
children in this country, and multi
tude of birds. Many ofthese children
think it is fine sport to kill the birds.
They DO not know what a valuable
service the birds are doing for us in
eating the insects that would destroy
our crops.
Professor Bruner, of the University
OF Nebraska, has estimated that the
birds of that State deyour l6,500
bushels of insects day.
Within two years after the craze in
Paris for bird feathers. Southern Rus.
sia was sending us for supplies on ac-
count of the famine resulting from the
destruction of bird life.
1t has been estimated that human
life would be impossible on this globe
in nine years if bird life was destroyed.
An interesting late figure from Off.
cial sources announces that the dam
age tn crops and trees resulting from
insects amounts to about G795, ,l00..
600 year in this country, one.halfof
which at least could be saved if the
birds were properly protected.
Don't kill the birds

Honesty Prevailed.

A miser having lost 800 promised
$40 reward to anyone who should
bring it to him. A poor man found
and restored it to the miser, and de-
manded the reward but the old man,
in order to bafHe him, alleged there
was $ll0 in the bag when he lost it.
The poor man, however, was advised
to sue for the money and when the
case came on to be tried, it appeared
that the seal had not been broken, nor
the bag ripped, and the Judge said to
the DEFENDANTS counsel:
"The bag you lost had $1l0 in it,
you saY2
"Yes, sir.
"Then," said the Judge, according
to the evidence given in court, this
cannot be your money, for here is only
500; therefore the plaintiff must
keep it till the owner appears.
Verdict accordingly with costs.

A Wise Mother Says.

That We should keep up standard
of principles, for our children are
watchful judges.
That what are trihes to us are often
mountains to our children; and that
we should respect their feelings.
That we should bear in mind that
We are largely responsible for child
ren's faults, and be patient with them
That we should take an interest in
our childrens amusements. for moth
er's share in what pleases them is
great delight.
That if you say mo, you should
mean "no." Unless you have good
reason for changing command, hold
it.
That we should be honest with the
children in small things as well as
great, and if we cannot tell I EN- what
they wish to know We should say so
rather than deceive them.
That we should interest our boys
and girls in physiology, and when they
are sick, try to make them compre-
hend how the complaint arose. and
how it may be avoided in the future.
That many child goes astray not
because there is want of care and
training at home, but simply because
the child needs smiles as much as
flowers need the sunbeams.
That as long as it is possible we
should kiss the children goodnight
after they are IN bed. They will en-
JOY it, even after they profess TO hav-
ing outgrown it, and it will keep them
close and loving.
That children look little beyond
the present moment. That if a thin
pleases they are quick to see it; that
if home is place where faces are sour,
and words are harsh and faultfnding,
they will spend as many hours as pos
sible elsewhere.

Couldn't Find Himself.

An absent.minded professor was
much annoyed by the troubles he ex.
perienced every morning in hunting
his clothes, for he could never remem.
Der where he had put them the night
before. So he advised plan Of writ.
ing down on piece Of paper where
each article Of clothing was placed as

wrote:
Goat on third peg, left.hand corner
of room waistcoat and trousers on

tie through key Of door vest on door
by window cuffs on knobs Of bed

Next morning this plan seemed to
work admirably he collected his gar
ments rapidly; but when he came to
the last item on the list, he went over
to the bed. and to his great disgust
found it empty.
"Ohl" he cried in bewildermsnt,
"now the professor is lost. This plan
is no good. What shall / do now"2

A Monster Meteor.

The Geographical Records account
of social ed "crater" in the Coon
Mountain, Coconino county, Arizona,
adds new terror to life in compari-
son with which San Franeisco'a earth
quake is pleasant diversion. The
so-called mountain is circular ridge,
about $50 feet high, inclosing circu'
lar depression some 500 feet in d.
ameter and 400 feet deep. Viewed
from the inside, the circular "rim Is
$50 feet above the crater bottom.
This tremendous hole in the ground
was formed by the falling from outer
space of an i1on meteor of the size in.
dicated. A mass of iron, over $500
feet in diameter, moving with veloc-
ity greater than that,of a cannon ball
must have produced wonderful effect
when it struck. 1t penetrated the
sandstones and limestone OF the region
over 400 feet, grinding the rock to a
fine dust. The meteor was broken by
the impact, and pieces weighing l 900
pounds have been got out. Millions
Of fragments are scattered far and wide
about the 'crater. The rim is not
volcanic, but consists of strata of the
rock of the country. How long ago
the meteor fell is not known what
is extraordinary about it is its size,
which exceeds that of any other me-
teor on record. Meteor dust derived
from meteors that have exploded by
reason of heat generated in friction
with the upper atmosphere is constant
ly falling, and unexploded masses
weighing as as much as a ton some
times reach the earth, but meteor
over half mile in diameter is anoth-
er matter. Nervous persons cannot
but reflect that there are plenty more
where this monster came from. Hap
PLY, they do not come every day, and
when they come the probability is
that they will strike at sea, near the
poles, or in other uninhabited parts Of
the earth. 1t is also comfort to
think that if they hit you, your suffer-
ing would not be prolonged-Balti

swallowed it. The police took an

An Easterner was prospecting in
the North Georgia Mountains, when
he came on a native apparently cling
ing to the side Of a steep hill tilling
corn.
The prospector stopped for a chat
and the mountaineer, nothing loath
for a rest in the shade from his fatigu.
ing toll, was agreeable.
"Say, friend, how in the world dc
you get the corn down off that hillside
after it is ready for harvest 2" asked
the stranger.
'Tn jugs," was the laconic and
probably truthful reply.
