There are many little tilings to
annoy us, under pre-ent condition*
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell -..n us and
tend to provoke nervuu.ues.s and

worn Out we can neither >• .t, ideep i

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far in HU
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved HIs Undoing.
An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a ilg tree on which were two
figs jutn ripening. His favorites were
tigs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coining to ma
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the tigs 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 his
little hoy 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 iigs, the boy, after a mo
ment’s silence, answered: "I ate one.”
"You ate one? How?” exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. "How did you
come to do that?”
Dropping his eyes to the basket. “1
took it like this," said the child, taking
the remaining fig, "and 1 ate it like
this.’’
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second iig before the
astonished eyes of the old gentleman.
LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preacher's Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text As He Under
stood Its 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 t«llow citizens ol
Judea on the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
of the sun’s standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of a frozen
fact.
This advance In theology is illus
trated by the story of the darky
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, "These eight did Milcab
bear.”
"Muffrinds,” said he, "you is singu
larly blessed by de Bawd in dis gen
eration. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youali cow, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laciferous
fluid foh eight people. In de olden
times of which de Bible speaks it
took eight folks to milk a bear, en i
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
dat.”—Los Angeles Times.
Spiders Catch and Eat Fish.
Specimens of the spider known as
Thalassius Spenceri are in the mu
seum at Durban, Natal, and the cu
rator, E. C. Chubb, has just made sci
entific announcement of the discovery
of a member of this species in the act
of catching flsh for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Kev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed the creature eating
a pet flsh, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider, three inches across with
legs extended, stationed itself at the
water's 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 arounc
it as the spider made a plunge, driv
lug Its fangs into its prey, and thei:
at once climbing out on the rocks. II
soon ate a flsh of four times its owr
weight.
Bagdad and Queen of Sheba.
The Bagdad of the "Arabian Nights’
still exists, but in a greatly diminishec
form. In fact the grand old palaces
and mosques of its prime are nearly
all In ruins, and only a small popula
tlon lives where once was a city o
2,000,000 people. A new city is
gradually coming into existence 01
the opposite (east) bank of the Tigris
the site being valuable from a com
mercial point of view. The inhabitants
number about 200,000. and are mainl:
Bedouins. The famous palace of Har
oun-al-Raschild has disappeared, an<
the foreign consulates occupy its site
It is only a tradition which assert:
that the queen of Sheba, who ones
visited King Solomon, lies buried un
der an eight-sided brick tower bear
ing her name in old Bagdad. The citi
zene have ceased to venerate it, w
are told, and the tower is approachini
a state of ruin.
Concerning Men With Tails.
It would not be wise to build upoi
the story of the coast natives that ii
[ the interior of Papua there are mei
with tails. Similar beliefs have bee:
held in many parts of the world am
many ages, sometimes from impret
slons of apes, sometimes from mor
or less spiteful credulity about a pec
pie’s neighbors. For centuries it wa
a common gibe on the Continent tha
Englishmen had tails. It originate1
from the story that the people o
Canterbury or Strood, having mocke
at St. Thomas riding upon a little as
and cut off its tail, were puulshe
with the curse that thenceforth a.
their boys should be born with tail.1
And the scoffs of other Englishmen a
the “Kentish longtails” rebounded ui
on the whole nation, so that even i
the time of Edward VI. Englishme
Abroad suffered from the taunt.

Crow "Helped” in Golf Game
An unusual golf story comes from i
Scotland. Mrs. Barnett, an American ;
lady living at North Berwick, while
playing on the course recently, had I
her game considerably Interfered with
by a persistently inquisitive crow. She
had just made a too shot when the
crow scoured the ball, and, after flying
with it for some distance, dropped it.
The lady made, two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazement, twice re
turned and lifted the ball after she
bad played It.
What the Eyebrows Tell Us.
There Is more character In the eye
brow's than one would suppose. If
they are very much arched, they de
note a weak, changeable nature. Bye
brows that meet signify bad temper
and a Jealous disposition; but, If
If there is a good wide space between
them, their owner Is probably very un
selfish and good tempered. If they
are darker than the hair, their own
er will be passionate but Inconsist
ent in love; If lighter, they reveal a
weak disposition.
