me after the nunneries and the con-

feeds the nunneries and the orphan

1t is lust and RIGHTEOUSNESS that

1aadad and Queen of Sheba.

The Bagdad of the Arabian Nights" still exists, but in greatly diminished form. In fact the grand old palaces and mosques of it's prime are nearly all in ruins, and only a small popula. ton lives where once was city of 2,000,O00 people. A new city Is gradually coming into existence on the opposite (east) bank of the Tigris, the site being valuable from a com mercial point of view The inhabitants number about 100000, and are mainly Bedouins. The famous palace of Har- has disappeared, and the foreign consulates occupy its site.
 It is only tradition which asserts that the queen of Sheba, who once visited King Solomon, lies buried un. der an eight-sided brick tower bear ing her name in old Bagdad. The citi. zens have ceased to venerate it, we are told, and the tower is approaching state of ruin.

LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preachers Humorous Comment on Biblical Text As He Under.
 stood It's Meaning.

Of old the right of individual private interpretation of the scriptures was not accorded to the laity. Only the priests or preachers were authorized to say what was meant by the sacred text. That has all been changed, and no man will now be expelled from the most orthodox church for believing that Balaam's palace mule did not really address his fellow citizens of Judea or the political issues of the day, or considering that the statement of the suns standing still at the order of Captain Joshua was an Illustrative allegory and not the record of frozen fact.
 This advance in theology Is illus trated by the story of the darky preacher who delivered sermon from the text, These eight did Milcah bear"
 "Muffrinds," said he, you is singu- larly blessed by de Lawd in dis gen. eration. If you wants some milk you done goes to youah COW, and at one milk you gets enough of de laciferous fluid foh eight people. In de olden times of which de Bible speaks 1t took eight folks to milk bear, en I specs dey gets mighty little milk at dat."-Los Angeles Times.

Concernlno Men With TaiIa.

It would not be wise to build upon the story of the coast natives that in the interior of Papua there are men with tails. Similar beliefs have been held in many parts of the world and many ages, sometimes from impress sions of apes. sometimes from more or less spiteful credulity about a peo, ple's neighbors. For centuries it was common gibe on the Continent that Englishmen had tails. It originated from the story that the people of Canterbury or Strood, having mocked at St. Thomas riding upon a little ass and cut of its tail, were punished with the curse that thenceforth all their boys should be born with tails. And the scoffs of other Englishmen at the "Kentish longtails" rebounded up. on the whole nation. so that even in the ttpe of Edward VI. Englishmen A1E7o su6eEs6 Hpm the taunt

MORE TROUBLE IN 2 GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far m MS Inquiry, and Demonstration
 Proved Ills Undoing.

An elderly gentleman waking through his garden one day stopped before 8 fig tree on which were two figs just ripening. His favorites were figs and summer often came ana went without the fruit coming to ma turity.
 Shortly after, he met his gardener, who. assuring him the figs were quite ripe, was requested to send them to the summer house, where his master was about to rest
 Picking the figs, the gardener sent ms little boy of seven with the basket. On the way the little fellow stopped and. removing the leaves, gazed upon the tempting fruit.
 The attraction was too great; he ate one. Covering the other with the leaves, he proceeded upon his errand,
 On being asked if the gardener had not sent two figs, the boy, after mo- ment's silence, answered.: q ate one"
 You ate one? How" exclaimed the old gentleman, angrily. How did you come to do that?"
 Dropping his eyes to the basket. T took 1t like this," said the child, taking the remaining fig, "and l ate 1t like this"
 And, suiting the action to the word, he consumed the second fig before the astonished eyes of the old gentleman.

Spiders Catch and Eat Fish.

Specimens of the spider known as Thalassius Spenceri are in the mu' scum at Durban, Natal, and the GU rator, E. c. Chubb, has just made sci entific announcement of the discovery of a member of this species in the act of catching fish for food.
 One of the spiders was captured several years ago by the Rev. N. Abraham at Greytown, and 1t was placed in an aquarium. A servant boy soon noticed the creature eating a pet fish, and the startled clergyman left his study to watch.
 The spider, three inches across with legs extended, stationed itself at the waters edge, with two legs on a stone and the eight others spread out on the water. After a time a fish came under the outstretched legs, which were suddenly thrown around 1t as the spider made a plunge, driv' ing It's fangs into its prey, and then at once climbing out on the rocks. It soon ate fish of four times its own weight

 The spirit of charity is not
 hat we give expecting some day to be repaid. It is to give out of our hearts, and the happiness that follows is ample reward.
 While the Associated Chari- ties will look after the most dis tressing cases, there may be found in Memphis this Christ mas season many homes where the poorer class of people re- side, who are too proud to beg and who refrain from appealing to the charitable neighbors they may have.
 They live as best they con on the small means which they pos sess, but when Christmas comes their penalty of poverty is keen- ly felt. The little ones cannot receive the toys that their neighbours children receive and the Christmas table is desti- tute of holiday delicacies.
 Tu such home a well-filled basket will fill the house with sunshine. Such gifts are the ones which bring the keenest pleasure and the sincerest ap- preciation. Memphis Com- cial Appeal.

Giving.

AS the Christmas season ap- breaches we should release our purse strings and cultivate the habit of giving. There is nc city in the world in which there is g warmer spirit for the un- fortunate than Memphis. Here is a home of charity and this fact is shown by the steady in- crease in the donations being made to the Associated Chari- ties. But it is not only the un- fortunate that must be provided for. The poor should be remem- bered at this season of gift be- slowing.
 Admirable as the prevention of poverty is, and fine as scien tific charity may be, it is of tentimes well to give out of full hearts if not out of full purse. Every dollar given to the poor and those in want, not only dur ing the Christmas season, but at other times during the year, has a tendency to make better men and better women.
 We have found by observation that it is better, after all, to give than it is to receive. A gentle, earnest reformer of an unscientific age was Charles Lamb and he wrote: Reader, do not be frightened at the hard words-imposition and impost- ure-give and ask no questions. Cast thy bread upon the waters. Some have unaware entertained angels"
 There is a story told of a half grown boy, forced to beg and on the verge of starvation. He met a kindly man, who not only helped him with food and cloth- es, but started him off on life's highway in the right direction. That boy is today rated among the millionaires of the country, and the kindly old man has
