wonders of RaaIhec.

Baalbcc, CT Baalbell. is the name
given q ruined city lying i'll ancient
CoeIe-Syria, forty-fvc miles northwest
Of Damascus. There is nothing partic-
ularly remarkable about a ruined city
being found in the locality mentioned.
but the size Of the blocks of stone used
by the ancient builders of tbs partic-
ular city is something that has puzzled
the modern engineers since the day
when Baalbec was first made the Nee
ca Of the oriental traveller. There arc
immense stones on every side Of the
visitor to this ancient pile of ruins, but
the three most remarkable blocks-said
to be the largest ever used in the con-
struction of q buIlding-are in a wall
back of the temple of Baal. These i'm
mense stones are respectively sixty
four. sixty three and sixty-two- feet in
length and each is thirteen feet in
thickness, but the most wonderful
thing in connection with them is the
fact that they are at place in the
wall twenty FIVE feet from the ground.
How these immense blocks Of granite
were ever raised TO such a height is q
question that has never get been an
syered.

Trolling For Tarnon.

1t is not easy 10 hook a tarpon while
trolling, for his mouth is very hard,
says Julian A. Dimock In Country Life
In America, and much skill may doubt
less here be shown. In the playing Of
the fish the work is about the same as in
still fishing save that more care must be
used, as the hook is probably not firmly
imhedded. Anold fisherman told me that
he liked to be sure of his fish and 50
preferred still fishing, but to my mind
1t is one OF the objections to that meth
cd. Another and stronger objection is
the disturbance of my feelings in think
ing that / am pulling against a f1s,l's
"in'ards." If the line does break the
chance of the victims being able to
free himself from the hook is problem
atical, while in trolling it is the work
of minute after the strain is off the
line until a sore mouth is the only
symptom remaining.

The Greek SYMPOSIUM.

The Greek symposium was literally
drinking together" but before the
drinking fully began there was a BAN
quot, more or less elaborate. as the
wealth and taste OF the host might die
tate. The guests came In their best.
Even old Socrates, Plato tells us in his
Dialogue" on the subject, was not
above taking little extra pains when
he was invited out. Some one met him
one day in the market place, fresh
from the bath and sandaled." and as
the sight of the sandals was unusual,
he asked him whittier he was going
that he was SO ane ITO a banquet at
Agathon's," he replied, "and have put
on my fnery because he is a fine crea-
ture. What say you to going with me
unbidden?"

prnner1v Rolled Meat.

To boil meat SO as to retain the juices
and soluble salts and yet cook it suf-
ficiently 1t should be plunged into boil
ing water and boiled rapidly for about
ten minutes. After this fast cooking
the kettle must be pushed over to the
back of the fire, where its contents will
simmer gently. This tends to coagu-
late the outer rind Of the meat so that
the juices cannot escape. If reat is
treated IN this manner the inside will
be found juicy and tender, but If the
meat Is allowed to boil it will be found
hard and chippy, the goodness having
all boiled out of 1t.

Copenhagen.

According TO the Biological society
Of Copenhagen, an interesting and
novel experiment is shortly TO be
made in the northern portion of the
narrow straits known as the Little
Belt" Electric lamps are TO be fixed
at the bottom Of the sea with view
to preventing the conger cells from
making their way out into the open
sea, to the great detriment of the coast
fishing industry. Among the peculiar
tiles of the eel is n marked fear of
light-so much so. indeed, that the
conger eel will not migrate to the
open sea when the moon is at the full.
This idiosyncrasy is to be turned to
good account by the Danish fishermen,
who, by Illuminating the northern
egress OF the straits by means Of
groups of powerful electric lamps,
hope to control this point of exit and
conGne the congers within the limit
of the Great Belt

At first the watch was about the size
of dessert plate 1t had weights and
was used as a pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs In the record Of 1852, which
mentions that Edward VI. had zone
larum or watch Of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum
NETS Of lead" The urst watches may
readily be supposed to have been of
rude execution. The first great i'm
proyement. the substitution of springs
for weights, was in 1850. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand, and, being wound
up twice a day, they could not be ex-
pected to keep time nearer than fifteen
or twenty minutes In the twelve hours.
The dials were of silver or brass. The
cases had no crystals, but opened at
the back and front and were four or
five inches in diameter. A plain watch
cost the equivalent of $1,000 in our cur
rency, and after one was ordered it
took a year to make it.

Dangerous Toys.

Mothers should carefully examine the
toys presented to their little ones. A
friend gave my six-months baby
little to- dog made of black woolly
goods. He was very fond of the play
thing, but imagine my horror when one
day as be sat playing with it saw him
pull out long black headed pin. Upon
examination l found that the eyes and
collar button, which supposed were
beads, were nothing more than black
pins with long. ugly points.-Good

Luck Money.

Cor the day c'luck money!, that which
= given back 'for luck" by the seller
to the buyer. Splitting upon 1t is the
essGrce of the whole transaction, and
1t is practiced today, not only all over

know from many classical authors
what virtue was believed by ancient
Greeks and Romans (see Potter, "Ar-
chaeol, Grace" l., AID to lie in the
act, and there IS also abundant evil
dence of the belief all through the mid
die ages, and now in the twentieth
century it remains as strong as ever.
Otto jain says: II have often seen the
fishwives of Ellerbeck, when they had
got handgeld from my mother, how
they spat upon it. They say that it
brings them besonderes gluck. They
will not tell the reason. Certainly it is
done to keep off witchcraft." The same
thing is done by modern Egyptians and
by Italians. At Posilippo 1 gave a
penny to a deaf mute. He first spat
on 1t, then put It to his forehead, and
lastly devoutly crossed himself with 1t,
precisely except the crossing) as Is
done by modern Egyptians. Even in
faroff Celebes the natives spit in the
same way as a protective rite.-Notes
