would only get out and take a walk
early In the morning they would re-
turn to the house with brighter spirits
and more animation for work. I'm.

MALE" AND "FEMALE" SALT.
Peculiar Character Of Soil Obtained

An account Of the extraction OF salt
from earths obtained neal the Atbara

Mr.. Tursteg, Of the Egyptian Survey
department, the natives employ two
different kinds OF earths, one contain

other female salt. Says the writer
Of the report;
Neither of these, 1t was stated, was
edible II taken alone, but II the earths
we're mixed they furnish a salt Of good
quality"
Curiously enough, the belief Of the

writer:

H STORY.
THE hills about Bethlehem

THE hills about Bethlehem were green
j and beautiful that fresh spring
morning. Here and there amidst the
rolling carpet Of green bright.faced
flowers all glistening with the dew
turned to greet the sun as 1t burst
above the tree-skirted hilltop. The
glad songs of the birds fioated out on
the gentle breezes as they skinned
the surface Of the meadows or rested
on some leafy bird swing temptingly
offered by the friendly trees.
All nature seemed to be rejoicing,
and the heart of young David re-
sponded to the glad note as he led
his sheep out to the green pasture
and beside the still waters. They knew
and loved the lightsome, CHEEKY ring
OF that strong young voice, and gladly
followed where he led, and then grazed
contentedly while he sat under the
shade of some olive or fig tree and
played on his harp the wild, sweet
music he had learned from the rip
pling waters and from the birds that
came to accept his challenge Of song
and pour out their little souls In re-
Spouse to the vibrant notes of his
harp, and the clear, full tones Of his
voice.
On this particular morning David
was unusually glad, Just why he could
not tell. save that the morning was
SO fresh and sweet, the air so full OF
fragrance and natures rare music;
the sheep and lambs 50 full Of life
and glad to leave the corral and gain
the freedom Of the hillside pasturage.
This morning as he had left the
house q messenger had come announc-
Ing the coming Of Samuel, the proph-
ct Of Israel, to hold q sacrifice and
feast at Bethlehem. His mother had
wanted him to remain to the feast,
but his older brothers had objected.

Korean Students Hard Lines.

Koreans evidently want education.
Recently one of them came up from
the country and after all his money
was gone he found 1t impossible to
stay longer, sc he cut his finger and
with the blood wrote to the minister
of education about his woes. We
think he had better taken a jiggy and
got to work and earn some money,
rather than go about cutting his fin.
gers to gain sympathy. If any at
tantion were paid to this sort of
stage play you would find Korean
fingers covered with scars Of combat.
