Literary Treasures Lost.

Perhaps the largest and most valu-
able of literary treasures the world
has lost was the Alexandrian library.
The collection, the most remarkable
of the ancient world, is said to have
contained in its most flourishing
period 400, 900, or, according to others,
100000 manuscripts. Its royal founder
collected from all nations their choic-
est compositions. We are told that
n of his successors went so far as
to refuse to supply the Athenians with
wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts of Aeschylus,
Sophocles and Euripides. When
Julius Caesar laid siege to the city
the greater portion of this library was
destroyed by fire. 1t was later re-
placed by the collection presented to
Queen Cleopatra by Marc Antony.
But it was not destined to endure
long. When Emperor Theodosius the
Great in 391 A. d. ordered the destruc-
ton of all heather temples within the
Roman empire, the Christians, led by
Archbishop Theophilus, did not spare
that of Jupiter, in which were kept
the literary treasures. From this gen.
eral destruction about 1000 manu-
scripts escaped, only to be buried in
$40 A. d. by the Saracens under the
Caliph Omar.

the creature did not come, and he
stretched himself in his bunk.
Early in the morning he was up, in.
vestigating the rat-hole, which ex-
tended deep into the ground beyond
the cabin wall. There was a little
fresh gravel around the mouth of the
hole that convinced Robb of the source
from which the gold had come, and
he went outside and with nervous
speed dug straight down into the bur-
row, which he widened and deepened
as he worked. About three feet from
the surface he came upon as promis-
ing a bed of gravel as a placer miner
ever saw. Fortune had surrendered to
him at last!
AS he dug into the deep deposit,
which he knew meant wealth, his
hands trembled and he worked in a
frenzy Of exultant hope. Suddenly
there was an upheaval among the rat
Ting gravel, a flash of something
brown, the CLEAN of a bright black
eye and che whisk of a tail. Robb
was just then thrusting down his
shovel with frantic strength, and, un-
able to check it, the sharp blade
struck the trade rat on the head,
stretching it at his feet.
Horace Robb paused, even in that
supreme moment Of gold-hunger, to
raise tenderly the little creature that

First Aid to Farmers.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the de-
partment of agriculture that he had
struggled for 20 years on an 80-acre
farm heavily mortgaged, but had been
unable to reduce his debt or rise above
poverty that made the bringing up of
his family a humiliation. He asked
If there was any hope for him upon
the farm, or if he might as well give
up the fight. The department request
ed that he make a detailed report Of
his farm and its soils, and upon this
it based a plan Of farming which he
was recommended to follow to the let
ter. There was a profit the first year
Of $4,000, and the department believes
that ultimately the despised so acres
can be made to yield $4,000 a year.

"a young woman came to our city
mission in a most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and

incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch

patient well and gave her a full dose

night and the next day I got a box of

young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than Willing to Make Transfer
with Physician.

A Syracuse business nan who, be-
sides being extremely active and am
bilious, has much sense of humor,
was taken sick with a slight attack Of
pneumonia. His physician, aware that
1t would be a task TO keep his high
strung patient in bed. sought to i'm
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all of which the sick man lis
tened to in a bored manner. Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
in him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis
gusted, he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the inexorable physi-
clan.
One morning the physician, after
having been up all night on an i'm
portant case, appeared at his patients
house at the usual hour. He had hard
ly stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him a quick glance and sat
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors catchel, he added: DOC, l guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine

had piloted him to wealth. He car
ried it to the creek and vainly en-
deavored to restore the life that had
gone. When his days work was sus-
pended, he took time from his hours
Of slumber to carefully remove the
skin from his departed comrade.
In five days he had PANIED out 81
pounds Of coarse nuggets, carrying
the gravel down to the creek and
washing it there, and the end of the
treasure was not in sight. Still, it
was only a pocket, of course, and the
end came in time, but not until it
had yielded enough to support a man
of moderate desires all the days of his
life.
Some men would have fingered at
the cen Of such a success, search
ing for another golden pocket, but
only half of Horace Robb's ambition
was achieved-the gold was but the
mean to an end. And So, as fast as
his sturdy limbs could carry him, he
fastened to the outer world.
When he reached Sacramento he
found a delayed letter from her. Anx-
iously he skinned the passages in
which she dwelt upon her long period
of patient waiting, and he turned
white when he reached the announce.
ment of her marriage with another.

lonely cabin on a wild afluent of the
Feather river, and why the great trade
rat, under its dome of glass, is now,

was in his lusty springtime-his sole
companion there.
