They are unprogreSsive, we say. But
they are no farther behind the times than
the American women who still boil clothes

women of India don t weaken their clothes
by boiling, at least.
The truly modern way of washing is.

tomobiles and diamonds and other
articles of luxury will be required to
tell how they got 'em, If the threats
of the tax commissioners are carried
out. This was one of the develop
ments of tax day. in the metropo-

will have to tell her secret, pay tax
es on her property or fee from the
wrath to come. The tax commission
er declares that other ladies pay
taxes on diamond tiaras and devil
wagons and such, and why not the
tootsy-wootsy chorus girl? The tax

caJoled by winsome smiles or grin

A VALID OBJECTION.
founa Sheridan's Ready Wit Saved
Him a Brching v

Richard Brinsley Sheridan early
erinced a genius for getting something
for nothing and seeing the door of the
refectory had inadvertently been left
unlocked, peeped in and saw a huge
basket of grapes freshly gathered from
the orchard
Stealthily closing the door and ap-
preaching the grapes, he thus address
ed them: Il publish the banns of mar
riage between Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan and these grapes. Is there any
one to forbid the banns?" And, having
no reply to his query he proceeded to
fill his breadbasket from the other bas-
ket with great gusto But retribution
was to follow, for on the class being
reassembled the master called upon
Richard Brinsley Sheridan to stand
forth and yblned with his name the
ominous name of Walker, who was the
Ounce of the school and selected from
his weight and size to mount the Gull
prit upon his shoulders in order that
the master might get firm surface
upon which to use the birch with eff
feet
Sheridan being duly mounted and
appropriately denuded of superfluous
ra!ment, the master thus addressed
him: Il publish the banns Of marriage
between Richard Brinsley Sheridan
and this birch. Is there any just cause
or impeachment why these two parties
should not be joined in holy matri-
monyT
"Hold!' yelled Sheridan
"WelY' said the master.
To which Sheridan said, "Why, sir,
the parties are not agreedw
This being not only witty. but apt
as being valid objection in point Of
law, Sheridan was requested to re-
tire and restore himself to his former
habiliments amid the uncomfortable

money will accomplish. The founda-
ton of his walk was the ola cement
pavement. He made the WOOD curb
two inches higher than the surface
of the old walk and filled in with
equal proportions of sand and ce-
ment. When it was finished it was
as good job as if he had paid S25
for it. The only time he devoted to
this work WIGS in the evenings after
he returned from his business, his
only tools a 15c trowel and a spade.
The total cost was exactly $7.S5.
This person noticed while visiting
in the north that the walks were of
much longer life and, upon investi-
eating, found that they were from

THE LAND OF oPH|R.
Where Was Tin MashenaIand, South
Arabia or India?

Where Was tin Mashenaiand, South
Arabia or India?
One of the most interesting and i'm
portant questions concerning Biblical
sites perpetually invites research and
persistently evades solution. Where
Is the land OF Ophir?" DR.. Karl Pc
tiers at public meeting in Berlin de-
clared emphatlcally that this famous
Biblical region is located between the
Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He told
his German audience how he has dis
covered many shafts Of ancient gold
mines, 500 temples, Notifications and
other ruins Of Phoenician origin. DR..
Peters affirms that coins unearthed in
Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to
the time of King Solomon His opin-
ion Is that no other part Of Africa
could have exported the ivory, silver
and precious stones which are record
ed In the Bible as coming from Ophir.
Against this theory, founded as it
undoubtedly is on very plausible evil
dence. Bible students are still likely
to maintain. on the testimony of Gene
sis X, 20, that Ophir was a section of
South Arabia. Here down to the time
of Ezekiel the Phoenicians still land
ed to procure gold and gems with
which those famous sailors and mer-
chants of the ancient world traded in
many countries distant from their Syri-
an shores.
Many erudite writer's have attempt
ed to identify Sofala, on the east coast
Of Africa, with Ophir, while yet 9TH
ers have located 1t in India. One Of
the most learned essays written on the
subject IL from the pen Of Professor
Hommel, who argued that the ancient
land OF gold was Arabia Felix-Hom-
