FIND PARALLEL IN BIBLE.
Similarity in Careers of King David
and King Arthur.

The history of King David. as re-
lated in the Second Book Of Samuel,
is full of parallels to Arthur. David's
renown begins with his fight against
the giant Goliath, who is the protO-
type of all giants in the romances OF
the Middle Ages. They belong al
ways to the army of heather, provoke
the faithful knights, and are con
quered by them. Important in this
connection is the number OF the
knights of the Round Table, says the
Jewish Chronicle. They are the IA
nous IL to whom Arthur resorts on
occasion of danger, and each Of whom
has a special accomplishment in
welding the spear or hnadling the
sword. Now the explanation of this
number is to be found in the Bible
II you glance at chapter xxi in the
Second Book OF Samuel, and again at
chapter tx in the First Book of ChrOn-
icles, you will find list of the mighty
men of David, and their number varies
between 40 and IS.
Again, in Che history Of Arthur, we
find two further episodes resembling
two episodes in the life of David. The
one is the provocation of Lucius ri
berius-a fictitious name-his naughty
demeanor, his war against Arthur,
and his defeat, which seems to be
only an adaptation in English form of
the war between David and Hanun,
the king of the AmmOnites, who
haughtily had provoked David, treat
ing disrespectfully his messengers.
The other episode treats of the rebel
lion Of Mordred, the nephew of Ar
thur, against his uncle, and is copy
Of the rebellion of Absalom against
his father, David. Both rebels were
afterward routed in battles Jewish
legend speaks of a miraculous sword,
belonging not to David, but to his
chief captain, Joab, akin to the Cali
bur of Arthur; likewise a mysterious
hand grasps the keys of the temple
after its destruction, like the mys-
terious hand which took back that
sword of Calibur.

Wheat and Chaff.

James Arthur was canny old
Scotchman who lived in the town of
Ryegate, VT, in the late sos. He at.
tended church regularly, and always
drove the family horse, Nell, and al
though she undoubtedly possessed
many virtues, speed was not one of
them
One Sabbath on his way home from
the kirk one of the younger members
of the congregation drove up behind
with a fast horse and, Offering some
excuse for being in a hurry, drove past
at a sharp gait.
The old gentleman in reply to the
others remark about driving past re-
piled: ooh. aye, the char q gangs be-
fore the wheat"

Tyranny of Clothes.

Place a man in silk hat and
frock coat, and transport him to a
farmyard. Agricultural pursuits may
be the one passion of his life, but
clad in these garments he feels in
such surroundings miserable, out of
place, essentially urban Clothe him,
conversely, in flannels or Knockers,
and place him in church, and it is
utterly impossible for him to as
sumo fitting devotional frame of
not impose such tyrannies on the
subject. Civilization is the slave of
its clothes-and there is no prospect
of freedom.-LOndon Daily Graphic.

No Coat for Nineteen Years.

During the journey from Victoria
Falls to Kimberley a big, sun Drowned
man boarded the Zambesi express
minus his coat, with his shirtsleeves
rolled up. He took a seat at dinner
and the chief steward remarked to
him that as there were ladies present
perhaps he would have no objection
to putting on his coat Great Scott"
the man replied Il haven't worn a
coat for 10 years. You will have to

water. In some pastures there Is no
water, the cows being supplied night
and morning, which forces such COW to
drink four gallons at a time In order
to be supplied. AS the COW does not
know that she must drink four gallons.
she may use less, and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.
Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tons to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of
adding salt to the ration of dairy
cows. AS result of these trials, 1t Is
recommended that dairy COWS be given
at least one ounce of salt per day. Ex-
ceptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed In
these trials Indicate that salt In addi-
tion to that obtained in their food is
absolutely essential to the continued
health of dairy COW, while producing
milk. 1t Is evident, moreover. tina
the amount Of salt which must be SUP
Piled directly will greatly vary In diff
ferent localities, 1t being more at bigh
elevations and at places remote from
