There are many little things to
annoy us, under pre-cut conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell an ns and

are out of line with ourselves and

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old G. ntleman Went Too Far in Hie
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved His Undoing.
An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
! tigs just ripening. His favorites were
I tigs, and summer often came and
! went without the fruit coming to nia
i 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 tigs, the gardener sent his
| 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 tigs, the boy, after a mo
ment’s silence, unswered: "1 ate one.”
"You ate one? How?” exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily "how did you
come to do that?”
Dropping his eyes to the basket. “I
took it like this,” said the child, taking
! the remaining tig, “and 1 ate It like
this.”
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig 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 light 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 fallow citizens of
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 Milcah
bear."
"Muffriuds.” 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 fob eight people. In de olden
times of which de Bible speaks it
took eight folks to milk a bear, eu 1
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
dat.”—Bos 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 fish for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
hoy 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
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 around
it as the spider made a plunge, driv
ing its fangs into its prey, and then
at once climbing out on the rocks. It
soon ate a fish of four times its own
weight.
Bagdad and Queen of Sheba.
The Bagdad of the "Arabian Nights"
still exists, but in a greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand old palaces
and mosques of its prime are nearly
all in ruins, and only a small popula
tion lives where once was a city of
2,000,000 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 200,000, and are mainly
Bedouins. The famous palace of Har
ouu-al-Raschild has disappeared, and
the foreign consulates occupy its site.
It is only a 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
u state of ruin.
Concerning Men With Tails.
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 impres
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo
ple’s neighbors. For centuries it was
a 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 off its tali, 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 time of Edward VI. Englishmen
abroad suffered from the taunt.

j (WHAT WE OWE TC WOMEN
Ever They Have Beer the Makeit
of tho Home and Provider*
of Comfort.
Social prog css with primitive wom
en was stimulated and encouraged by
their relatin'! to home life, to dres*
ind to manners. We have already
alluded to the woman as the author*
i if the home or shelter. It is the d*
j pmle bird Unit makes the nest, the
.'emale mammal that digs the burrow
, lor her young and the female bee tha<
: makes the hom yoomb as a home for
I hers. The human female more t>an
I -’.II the rest created her home. But
[ not only is this true, but she UlfTeren
! Mated the home, and all parts of the
most elaborate establishment iver«
nstituted by her or on her account.
The lir-t homes were cheeriest
nves. Kiro could not be made In
them because of the smoke, so worn

u the rear, or a rock shelter with a
■)igh curved roof When she became
i dweller In a tent she searched for
lie oldest wood, learned the myste
ies (if the fuel problem and even In
vented the coral to Induce the wind
o draw a little of the smoke there
from and to increase Per comfort.
To the women of tho household we
ire indebted for the oven, the ehtm
icy and the chimney corner, the
kitchen, the dining room, the family
mom, the separate bed chamber. It
oas been a wonderful evolution, re
fulling in comfort, taste and morality

Crow "Helped” in Golf Game.
An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland. Mrs. D»rnet.t, an American
lady living at North Berwick, while
playing on the course recently, had
her game considerably Interfered with
bv a persistently inquisitive crow. She
had just made a tee shot when the
crow secured the ball, and, after Hying
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 ahe
had played It.

What the Eyebrows Tell Us.
There is more character In the eye
brows than one would suppose. II
they are very much arched, they de
note a weak, changeable nature. Bye
brows that meet signify bad tempei
and a jealous disposition; but, II
If there is a good wide space between
them, their owner Is probably very un
selfish and good tempered. If they
are darker than tho hair, their own
er will be passionate but Inconsist
ent In love; If lighter, they reveal a
weak disposition.
