Worlds Largest Stones
From the Argonaut.

rfOfn lne Argonaut.
 Probably the largest stones used In any building are seen in the western wall of the great temple of Baalbek, in Syria, and the problem Is still unsolyed as to the methods used in conveying them from the quarries and of placing them in position. The quarries from which these blocks were undoubtedly cut can be seen about half mile to the southwest of the tenn pie. The three stones lie horizontally and form part of the outer wall of the build ing. They are not on the lowest part of the masonary, but are 23 feet above the first row of stones. Each stone is over 60 feet long, 13 feet high and 10 feet thick. The most wonderful block of all still lies In the quarries, for something must have occurred to stop the work of separating it completely from the rock, and the great stone has lain there for centuries awaiting completion. This stone is 70 feet long, II feet high and 13 feet wide. The three sides and part of the fourth have been beautifully chiseled, and are smooth and even.

fickering and almost consumed candles.
 Their cries echoed down the cavernous passage until they died away in the dis tnnt gloom, They had heard their par ents tell many times of the man who was lost in this same cavern, wanderis.s for days, until at last he died of starvation. They wandered aimlessly around until exhausted, when the entire party fell asleep. Their candles all burned out while they slept. and when the first boy awoke a cry of terror burst from his lips. The others immediately awoKe. and the echo- ing cavern was filled with their cries. At last they heard the welcome sound of voices, and the light of dozen torches appeared, carried by searching party. Weak from wandering and lack of food they were carried out, after having been lost in the cave 90 hours
 The mystery of the grewsome figure in. the cave was soon made known. The physician who owned the cave had ob- tained a body from the medical college with which he was connected and had put it in the cavern to test the petrific qualities of the water which had been claimed for it.
 For many years those who had visited the cave asserted that -iark Twain made mistake when Tom and Becky were made to wander in an undiscovered DOT tion of the cave where stalactites and stalagmites abounded TOT, they asserted, it was a geological inlpossibility for erys- tals to form in that kind of stone. But the theories of these scientists were dis proved when another branch of the cave was discovered in 1892 the walls of which sprakled with crystals.
 The cave was an enJiring and substan- tial joy for all the boS's in the town. For Young Clemens it had d fascination that never faded. Other localities and diver sions might pall but any mention of the cave found him eager for the three mile walk that brought them to it's mystic door. With it's long and tortuous passages, it's possibilities as the home of gallant outlaw band, It contained everything that a ro1na ntic bow could desire.

know what mystery was concealed in these underground chambers. They would go out and gaze at the door in perplexity. One day a few more bold than the rest tore down the massive door which block ed the entrance and explored the winding galleries. They were rewarded beyond their anticipation. A strange and un- canny. object was found in the coffin shaped chamber" and many were the stories told the boys.
 These alluring stories were too much for the adventurous youngsters in the town. So one day Sam Clemens gathered them together and proposed that they explore the wonderful cave All the mem CTS of the band agreed to the proposition and preparations were made for the jour- ney the next morning. The band met at the foot of Lovers Leap. The party was composed of Samuel Clemens, John Briggs, Barney Farthing, John Meredith. Gulliver Brady Frank and Tom Pitts and Robert Bodine. On their way to the cave the boys met Tom Blankenship. the original Huckleberry Finn, who was fish ing from the hurricane deck of a steam boat, and he was quickly induced to join the party
 When the boys gazed into the mouth of the dark cavern many would have turned back had not pride and fear of taunts from Clemens and John Briggs prevented. So with these two leading the band en- tered the cave. For a short distance the descent was made through a steep, high ing passage, which they traversed for ing passage. whic hthey traversed for what seemed many miles By the dim light of their taIlow candles they finally reached the "petrifc spring." where the young adventurers satisfied their thirst and bathed their heated faces, a quaking. exhausted group.
 After resting few moments they start ed down the long passage in spite of the entreates of some to turn back. The passage grew narrower until progress was difficult Then Clemens who was in the lead. stopped abruptly. The band gathered around him, looking over his shoulder in fear to see the weird myste- ries of which they had heard so much One hurried glance was enough. AS the candles cast a fickerhig light into the gloom of the vaultlike chamber they saw a coffin swaying too and fro, sus- pended by chains from the ceiling, or 1t may have been that the wavering light produced the Illusion.
 One boy cried out suddenly and then the whole band retreated hastily. Stumbling over stones. falling against the walls of the cave they ran on and on until they came to spot where the passage divided into two similar galleries. They were un- decided as to which one to follow. but one was finally chosen and the band proceeded on It's weary journey to find the ''petrific spring
 But they wandered on and on without finding trace of the spring Finally Samuel Clemens stopped and told the rest of the band that they were lost. The more timid ones then set up a vail of de- spair their fear being intensified bg the wierd shadows cast on the wall by their

May

From the Indianapolis News.
 To find the month of April at her best, and this is no ingeious paradox, one must needs walt until the first week In May, when the mischevous, disappoint- ing hussy April, laughing at our discom- fiture through her mocking tears. has taken her departure. But all her minXy ways will be forgotten long before q twelvemonth, and when she comes again, she will play the cozening jade's trick and find us ready victims.
 May was the second month in the old Alban calendar. the third in that Of Romolus and the fifth in that established by Numu Pompilius-a station 1t has held from that distant date to the present It consisted of only p days in the Alban calander, but had 31 in the calandar of Romulus. Numa deprived 1t of the odd day. This day was restored by Julius Caesar. since which 1t has remained un- disturbed
 The name of May, or Mai was assigned to 1t in honor, probably of the Maiores, or Majores, the senate in the original constitution of Rome. June being in a like manner compliment to the Juniores, or inferior branch of the Roman legis- lature. Among the Saxons the month of May was called ''Trimilchi'' with an un- derstood reference to the improved con- dition of cattle under benefit of the sprang grasses, the COW now being able to give milk three times a day.

education had not prepared her for this wider conception of her obligations to the community. The obligations of citizen ship had never been brought home to woman, nor had her responsibilities and the duties of motherhood received eareful and serious attention. She believed there was a great work before the British ln- stitute of Social Service in encouraging and instructing social workers and in dis seminating amongst them the experience and knowledge already gained in this and other countries.
