LEGEND OF SEVEN SLEEPERS'
OF Syrian origin, the Story Has Al
ways Been Widely Current in
Eastern Countries.

The quotation from Dickens Christ
mas Carol, about the "other six" sleep
ers, Is a playful reference to the
legend of THE Seven Sleepers of
Ephesus." The legend goes back to
the time Of the persecution of the
Christians during the reign of the
Roman emperor Decius According to
the story seven Christians fled from
Ephesus in Asia Minor in the year 300
or 251 and hid in cave There they
were discovered, and their prosecutors
walled up the entrance in order to
starye them to death. The seven fell
into a sleep in which they lay for
nearly 200 years, for Il was not until
the reign of Emperor Theodosius II
CAD that they awoke, believing that
they had slept but single night.
One of the seven went into the city
to buy provisions, and he was amazed
to see crosses on the churches and
other buildings, for while they had
been asleep Christianity had made
great progress.
Offering a coin of the time of the
Emperor DecluS IN bakers SnOp, ne
was arrested, his startling story not
being believed until he guided the citi-
zens to the cavern where he bad left
his comrades The emperor heard
from their lips enough to convince him
Of the life beyond the grave, where
upon they sank again TO sleep till the
resurrection. This legend is of Syrian
origin--it is widely current in the
East, and was adopted by Mohammed,
who even admits the Seven Sleepers
dog Kitmer, into paradise. In some |
parts Of the world the festival of tie |
Seven Sleepers is held on Dune ~. |
The names usually given TO the Seven
Sleepers are: MaXimianus. Malchus. |
Dionysius. Joannes, /
Serapion and Consiantius.

New HIuh.speed Generator.

The so-called Blomquist steam gen.
orator, lately put in operation In a
GotheDburg mill is described as rad
lcally new type Of highspeed steam
generator. 1t is a boiler consisting Of
II pressed steel cylinders II inches
in diameter and s feet in heated length,
and these are rotated on ball bear
ings at the rate of 375 revolutions per
minute. Feed water is injected at one
end, the steam being taken out at the
other. Centrifugal action spreads the
water over the entire inner surface Of
the tubes, and the temperature of the
steel is said to be thus kept below 300
degrees Centigrade. The capacity is
1900 pounds OF steam per hour at
so atmOspheres or 740 pounds per
square inch. II is suggested that this
generator may be added to increase
the pressure I'm plants already estab-
Iished, and 10 provide steam for high
pressure turbines.

EaxptIan worship Of the sun.

The Egyptians were. early In their
history (about 1000 B. O., attracted
by this fight of the sun. They evolved
their religion on the thesis that life
was given by the sun. 1t was the heat
that he gave that caused all things TO
grow, and he gave to man warmth and
comfort. SO they created the god OF
the sun, and called him Ra-Harachte
In one of the earliest cities, built on
the east side of the Nile, and little
TO the north of modern Cairo, they
erected his first temple. The city was
called On, later named by the Greeks
Heliopois, the City of the Sun. Here
the Egyptians established the priest
hood of Ra, a sect that became famous
for its knowledge of the occult
sciences. the practice of magic. and
the laws of medicine and astrology. 1t
was with them the youthful Moses
was brought up. and 1t was by the
art he had mastered In the priesthood
of On that enabled him later TO put
into practice his magic before Pharaoh,
which finally led to the liberation of
the Israelites.

tried at Atlantic City, N. j.. before
Judge Ingersoll The action was
brought by the estate OF Michael Quinn
against Mrs. Mary Henry for $3.50 for

Quinn, when living, was unable to

The estate averred that the cross

BAD HABITS CROW
Successive Stages in Husbands
CareleSsness.
Especially Is He Apt to Be Thought
less OF His Wife's Comfort as
the Years Advance.

Man is careless creature by ma
ture and displays it in the stages OF
his life when he should be most care
full. Perhaps his carelessness is only
visible in its most aggravating form
10 his women folk.
The imputation that II is con
slant vice would be resented, because
man. while he may grow more
careful as he grows older in matters
affecting his work his health, possibly
his appearance, fails to observe, self
centered creature as he is, that
careless attitude has arisen and be-
come habit in his married life
Before marriage a mans every ef
fort is to please the woman; after
ward, to please himself, writes Lady
de Frece. in the Paris Mail. There
comes a time-some people call II the
danger year-when cigars. clubs and
company are first consideration with
man. He makes appointments and
then tells his wife. where once he con-
suited his wife. and then made APP
pointments.
Carelessness, that Is all. But his
wife, whose thoughts are at times WV
idly retrospective. is wounded on each
and every occasion.
The blatant careiessness of the
breakfast newspaper once started de-
velops from first hasty glimpseS at
the news to grim, masticating silences.
A husband becomes careless In his
hours. careless in his caresses. care
less in all his attentions to his wife.
Some men become careless about
their clothes. particularly In the
house. Anything will do for the
house. That is an added slight to
his wife and a fattery to himself. He
implies that she is not worth the price
Of a new tie. or the DOMINIC OF a
collar. aud that his own personality is
potent against the effect of the baggi- |
est of trousers.
Men never quite lose the little /
traits that marked them in their court
ship days. They will still show hun

,onsiderations-but to other women

BY Heck Keeps a Secret.

BY Heck Keeps secret.
When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the
others had been gone for half an hour,
Elizabeth Littleford sat up In the 81
Ience. 1t was a great and heavy silence
that lowered there over the north end
of David MoreIand's mountain. There
was not even the drumming Of yell
lowhammer, not even the saucy chat
tering Of boomer squirrel, not even
the twittering Of bird. Not a leaf
stirred anywhere. Everything seemed
lifeless. 1t was almost as though she
were the sole inhabitant of the world.
Then she thought. 1t was noontime,
and the officer and his prisoner would
doubtless halt at John Moreland's
cabin for the MONDAY meal; and If
she fastened she would get to see Bill
Dale again.
So she ran like doe through the
green woodland, through the tangle of
laurel and ivy and over the moss
covered stones, across a shoulder Of
David Moreland's mountain. She was
barefooted, and her dress was sim
pie garment Of white-dotted blue
calico, and her long brown hair flowed
behind her like the hair Of a young
witch-because Of the excitement of
the morning, she had forgotten to give
| 1t its usual daily plating.
As she drew near to the Moreland
leaders home, she saw Bill Dale and
the sheriff walk out at the gateway
and mount their horses. Major Brad
| lev came out, and he, too, mounted his
horse; and she was glad that he was
going along. There was great crowd
