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

Hiram, the Phoenician monarch.
strove to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
seven heayenS-apartment 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 Enclosure. The third chamber was
of lead, LOO by 1900 yards. The
fourth was of tin. 1000 by 1000 yards
The fifth was of copper, 1900 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 magniti-
cent throne. \ 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 magnificence. In
the seventh apartment was stationed
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 1 live

seven heavens, rule in seven apart
ments. AS God is surrounded by light
ming and thunder. so am l. God has
stars in heaven: SO have I. Many SOW

the house of Israel and David. twenty
prophets and ten high priests have de-

manded Ezekiel

Washington, D. c., March :;n.-Re-

WON HER AFTER
TWENTY LONG YEARS
Was Not Discouraged at the First
Refusal.

New York, March 3O-James Tur-
bins love for Miss Mary I. Steinman
endured ove1 span of twenty years,
and is now rewarded. 1t could not be
annihiIated by time or space, for he
first courted her twenty years ago,
when she was cashier in a Chicago
department store.
She rejected him fifteen years ago
and came east, to Brooklyn. Turbin
followed, got a place as mail carrier in
New York and, sticking to his affec-
ton like a stamp, often visited his
sweetheart. So he made himself wor-
thy of her, he said today. She be-
came a trained nurse and found a posi-
ton at Waterbury, Conn.
Turbin, 55 years old and constant
still, proposed marriage again and was
accepted.

HER FIRST SPEECH.
1t Wasn't the One She Learned, but

1t was the first appearance in public
of Ada c. Sweet of Chicago. United
States commissioner of pensions under
President Grant and one OF the first
women in the movement for equal po-
lit.cal rights for the sexes When the
civil war broke out she was living with
her parents in the village of Lombard,
now a suburb of Chicago, and was
chosen TO present to the boys of the
Lombard company a silk flag which the
women of the place had made with
their own fair hands.
The literary woman of the village
had written for the occasion a beauti-
full presentation speech. in which the
soldiers were adiured to take the fair
flag into which your wives, daughters
and Sweethearts have sewed fond hopes
and fearful prayers for your safe re
turn. carry it through the smoke and

a STRANGE PAGEANT.
Annual March of Mohanm edans to ths
Tomb Of Moses.

Tomb Of Moses.
One of the strangest of all the pag-
eants which are to be seen In Jerusa-
lem is the annual march Of the Mo-
hammedans to the tomb Of Moses. To
them. as we'll as to Christians and
Jews, Moses Is a prophet of the high
est honor. But, rejecting the traditions
Of the Hebrews, they refuse to believe
that he was buried in valley In the
land Of Moab, as Is described in the
lEst chapter of Deuteronomy. Instead
they as -Nrt that he was buried where
he breath his last, upon the summit
of Mount 4>eDo.
Therefore each year at the time Of
the Greek Easter the faithful gather
by thousands in the early morning be-
fore the site of the temple of Solomon
in perfect silence waiting for day
break. Later the strange scene of quiet
is entirely transformed. fanatics dane
ing and preaching. hordes of dervishes
whirling about in mysterious sacred"
dances and hundreds of exhorters rous-
ing the enthusiasm of their fellows.
The scene is gaudy with hundreds of
red and green banners. and the only
sembance of order is in the semiregu-
lar organiza tons OF marchers.
At last the procession forms. with
the banners borne ahead. an imam
bearing the yataghan of the prophet

the armies of Northumberland after

THE JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
quired by European Countries.

quired by European Countries.
To the Jews of today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
were forced to put up with a great
deal of humiliation. One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing Of a badge which would
stamp the wearer as an "infidel jew"
The wearing of a badge was made
general order throughout ChristendOn
in the year 1915, but it must have been
required in isolated places before that
date.
The most usual form of badge was
that of a ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. Any one
of FreNch-Jewish ancestry will know
that his forbears wore a ring of this
sort, varying in size and in cOlor-now
red, now yellow and white, according
to the whims Of municipalities and
mOnarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast, and at one time it was or
dered- TO be worn likewise upon the
back, so that a Jew might be known
fore and aft" When a Jew was
found without the badge, he was fined.
Evidence of the wearing of this badge
is found as late as 1899 in France. The
fOrefathers of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
on their breasts, the women on their
fOreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent in Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
it. The badge was known as the
90 from its shape. resembling prob
ably the ring in France. English Jews
should feel the distir ction of having
had peculiar sort of badge forced
upon their ancestors. 1t was first in
the form OF a band. first white and
then yellow, and later Jews were re-
quired TO wear badge with the shape
of the tables Of the law. In Germany
yellow badges We're worn. but here the
hat was the chief means of Identified
ton. In Austria and in Poland there
are few traces of the badge but in
Hungary Jews wore <adge on their
left breast 1t is interesting to know
that in Crete at the present day some
of the houses of Jews are marked with
the "o."-American Hebrew.

THE Art OF GARGlING.
Not the Same Thing as the Process
Usually Followed.

oSuaiiy FOiIo"eC'
The proper method of gargling is
thus described by a writer in the Med
ical Record:
The patient (at first under the guild
ance of Il physician should sit well
back in a chair, take Il swallow of wa
ter in the mouth and bend the head as
far back as possible.
Now he must protrude the tongue
from the mouth (the tip Of the tongue
may be grasped with a handkerchief
and in this posture with protruding
tongue he must try to swallow the wa
ter. The physician should control the
patients vain efforts, for it is impOssi-
Bile to swallow under such circum.
stances.
The patient has the sensation as if
he actually had swallowed the water
Now he must start to gargle, to eXhale
air slowly. One can see plainly the
bubbling Of the fluid in the wide open
pharynX.
after gargling thus for awhile the
patient is ordered to close the mouth
and quickly throw head and body for
ward Thereby all the fluid is forced
through the choanoe and nostriS,
washing the throat and nose from be-
hind and eXpelling all the accumula-
lions that had been present with great
force.
This should be repeated several
times, as the first trial is not always
successful and satisfactory. 1t is an
act that must be learned.
when DrOperIy executed the SpnSa-
ton, as the patient will assure you, is
that of great relief not had by any
other method. 1t will be wise for the
practitioner to try the method first on
himself Even small children who are
at all clever learn the method readily
and rather enjoy it."
