HIRAM, KING OF TYRE.
Fhe Phoenician Monarch and His Eff
fort to Initiate the Deity.

Fhe PhOenician Monarch and His Eff
fort to Initiate the Deity.
Hiram, the Phoenician monarch,
Etrove to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
seven heavens s-apartments-to be built.
The first was constructed of glass, 500
by 500 yards, storing therein mock i'm
ages of the sun, moon and stars. The
second compartment of iron, 1000 by
1000 yards, was the receptacle of pre-
cious stones, causing a terrific noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and the easement of
the inclosure. The third chamber was
Of lead, 1000 by 1900 yards. The
fourth was of tin, 1900 by 1000 yards.
The fifth was of copper, $500 by $500
yards. The sixth was of silver, 5000
by 5000 yards. The seventh was Of
gold, $500 by $500 yards, containing
precious stones, pearls and magnifi-
cent throne. A channel of water sep
arated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splendor
of the court of King Solomon, sur
rounded himself by the grandest con-
ceivable display of magnifcence. In
the seventh apartment was stationed a
golden bed, the corners of which were
set in pearls without value in all the
world, sparkling forth beautiful flashes
resembling lightning, which spread
wonder and terror among his subjects.
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered to
appear before Hiram, who, at loss
as to how to reach the seven heavens
wherein the monarch presided, was
transported into his castle by the locks
of his hair. Upon perceiving the di-
vine messenger Hiram trembled. "Who
art thou?" Numbered the indignant har-
binger of future events. "Why dost
thou boast? Art thou not born of wo-
mans womb?"
Il am," replied Hiram, "but / live
forever. Like God dwelling over wa
ters, dwell 1. Like him reigning over
seven heavens, rule in seven apart
ments. AS God is surrounded by light
ming and thunder, 50 am l. God has
stars in heaven; so have l. Many SOW
ereigns have succumbed to mortality,
and 1 still exist Twenty-one kings of
the house of Israel and David, twenty
prophets and ten high priests have de-
parted this earth, but 1 outlive them
ALL"
"Why dost thou boast" again de-
manded Ezekiel.
Because thou didst supply the
cedars for Solomon's temple? This
puts me in mind of subject who pre-
pared splendid garment for his SOW
ereign, and as often as the servant
gazed at the glorious piece of work he
boastingly remarked, This is my
MANUFACTURED until the king, observ-
ing his vanity, tore it off in disgust
Such will be thy lot. The temple
which thou helpest to build will be
destroyed. What will then become of
thy pride?"

Where They Have Time to Be Polite.

Where They Have Time to Be Polite.
Copenhagen, Denmark, is a city of
canals and cleanliness-a land of pure
delight, free from beggars, organ
grinders and stray dogs The inhab-
itants thereof are born courteous and
seem never to have recovered from the
habit.
When a passenger boards a car in
Copenhagen he exchanges greetings
with the conductor. A gentleman on
leaving the car usually lifts his hat in
acknowledgment of a salute from that
official. When fare is paid the con-
ductor drops it into his cash box,
thanks the passenger and gives him
a little paper receipt.
He offers change with a preliminary
BE so good" and the passenger ac-
cepts with thanks. If, in addition,
transfers are required complimentary
exchanges go on indefinitely. Yet
there is always time enough in Copen-

BASKET FISH.

when Dried, the Queer Arms Closely
Resemble Plaster of Paris.
At its marine residence, away down
in deep water, the name on the door

1t has a we'll marked control disk, not
unlike clam, but has no shell. From
this central body radiate arms, five in
number, like those of the familiar star
fish, and these arms are divided into
minute branches, like the twigs on a
tree, until they number in some cases a
thousand separately defined hairlike
tendrlls. While the body is not large,
the branches when extended measure
about eighteen inches in diameter The
creature has the power of incurling
these branches until it closely resem-
caught and about to die, remaining in
that shape when dried.
1t has been given the name of basket
fish. 1t frequently (when caught by q
dredge, for that is the only way it can
be taken) throws off these arms or

men is hard to be procured in its natu-

These arms and their subdivisions
are almost white when dried and close
ly resemble plaster of paris. They are
very brittle, easily broken and cannot
be repaired The fish live among the
roots of seaweeds and are supposed to
feed upon these, moving about by
wriggling and clamberlng with their
arms or fastening upon the roots and
pulling themselves along.
Most Of the knowledge regarding
their habits is conjecture, for none
have been taken alive and kept for suf-
ficient time to give them proper ex-
animation and study.-St. Nicholas,

Putting Out IL Eire.

When trying to put out a fire re-
member that one gallon of water at
the bottom of the blaze will do more
to put it out than ten gallons at the
top. PLAY low is the motto to follow
while fighting fire. A few gallons at
the bottom of the flames will rise in
clouds of steam when the fire is rising
and quench it. A big blaze on the lee
ward side looks fearful, but play low
with the water on the bottom of the
fire on the windward side and you
have the speediest way to quench the
flames and will not require a river.

The Fates.

Fable teaches that the fates were
three goddesses, holding one a spindle,
another a distaff and the third a pair
of shears. They spun the thread of
human life, then cut it off, and mems
destiny was either happy or unhappy
according to the texture of the wool
employed by these inexorable deities.
Might it not be said that here below
we play more or less the part of the
fates? 1t is we who, in some degree,
mold our own destinies. - Pittsburg

A River of Death.

Before the English occupation of In
dia it was estimated that the Ganges
carried to the sea every year 100000
dead bodies. 1t was then considered
by the Hindoos that the happiest death
was one found in its waves, and all
pious Hindoos who could do so were
carried to its banks and placed in its
waters to die. The decaying carcasses
along its banks were probably respon-
sible in no small degree for the pesti.

peninsula
