BIBLES IN STRANGE BINDINGS

* Watert-I. «*m to Have ’ Been Uaed as Coverings Sacred Book. The taste for having a particular Bible bound in a manner that is out of the ordinary to common to many ' people. • ' v U is strange to think of a huntsman I in the wilds of Asia killing the bear, or a sailor in some northern sea catching the seal that givto the skin wlttf which a Bible shall eventually be bound to grace the desk of some eccentric millionaire. Yet such is often the case. One Bible la coveted with a long, thick, soft halt; to shaggy that the ; shape of the book Is hidden. This was taken from a grizzly bear. Another is made from the skin of a serpent. A : grey, beaded surface, resembling glass, is presented by another binding which came from a man-eating shark. There is a badger Bible and a skunk Bible, the latter looking for all the world like a' lady’s muff. The Persian sheep, the Himalaya sheep, and other foreign varieties, of this family have । been called upon to furnish Bible, coverings; Most curious of all is to Bible bound in toe skin of a giraffe.

ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGVPT

NorrisiT Jj Labyrinth Constructed Some 3,500 — >Y Wrtr A gb Wte f of Colossal Size. King Minos, with his labyrinth on . the Island of Crete, is generally supposed to have been the originator of I the maze Idea; but Egypt has a labyrinth, toe, and Egypt manages to hold the record for antiquity to almost everything, labyrinths included, .Thijs. Egyptian labyrinth is 3,500 years old." It is merely a chaotic mass of rocks piled up in the desert a few । miles out of Medinet. The outlines of r the Walls merge dimly here and there from the ruins, and from these outlines, and the carvings on the stones, Egyptologists deduce that the laby-• rlnth was built by a certain King Labarys, who was. more popularly known as Amenemhat 111. The structure was 500 by 600 feet' It contained 3,000 rooms, half above ■ ground, half below. Remember that the largest hotel in dur present day world boasts about that number of rooms on. a dozen floods and covers to. city square, and some idea of the size of the two-story labyrinth. can be gained. Nobody has figured out yet why King Amenemhat built this enormous palace or tomb. In the lower.story, history says, the, sacred crocodiles and kings were burled, while the upper floor was, a few centuries after King Amenemhat’s time, used as a seat of government. The labyrinth was a wonderful place, one of the most wonderful In Egypt, if our ideas of it are correct, and its: greatness was its downfall. P The citizens of a near-by town, who worshiped the Ichneumon, resented,, the sacred crocodiles -qf the labyrinth. And sb they made an attack upon one of King Amenemhat’s successors and reduced the . largest structure in Egypt to a ruin.

LAND OF RACIAL TEMPESTS

Dalmatia Has Beep an Unquiet Spot In AU the Years es Her . Tragic History. / Dalmatia, elongated so that It is nowhere nipre than 35 miles wide, tapering dowri to but a mile at Cattaro, has been swept by continuous racial tempests for the last eight centuries. Croats and Serbians constitute the SlaVic element in Dalmatia, speaking the" same 1 language, but employing two alphabets. The Serbs use the Russian, T and the Croats the LKtln letters and alphabet. The Latin influence Is more prevalent in the cities, the story of Dalmatia being the reason therefor. In the middle ages t|>e Dalmatians were people wlthout the consciousness of a country; During the Slav influx Into Illyria the Invaders encountered little opposition, except In the seaport towns. The Latin element in the cities resist-, ed the migra|lpn tod thus engendered I the strife for supremacy which- perrists to this day. Much of the early Dalmatian rivalry was economic, the tradesmen and farmers naturally wishing 1 to exchange their goods with the Hungarians. The . maritime cities preferred to do business with Venice, which controlled the Adriatic. W LOO V -i - .. ■ .... ;

How Chinese Use Peach Stones.

Women and children, are to be seen in the markets of China picking up peach stones, which are put to several .uses; Broken Into pieces and dried ■in the sun,'they furnish excellent material for fuel. Another profitable use of the peach stone is made by artists and engravers, who carve them Into different forms of animals. Some of the larger etones, if round enough, are. carved into finger rings. During the season one may see in the interior of South China yards of poor people full of ■ peach stones' drying in the sun.

SWORE BY ‘TEDDY'

Yellowstone Park Rangers With Roosevelt to a Man. Colonel's Characteristic Greeting of Down-and-Outer, Whom .He Had Known In Happier Days, Is Still Remembered. Of the few out-of-season visits paid to the Yellowstone, that of Colonel Roosevelt, who, when president, spent 24 days of the late winter of 1908 there, has the most prominent page in the annals*of the Spread-Eagle rangers. He found the scouts, then serving as chaperons for luckless cavalry troop- , ers and doing their own work besides, i to be men after his own heart, and did hot hesitate to say so. Before he had been in the park a week every ranger was swearing - I “Anybody jtbe whereabouts of 'Jone William Jones?” was one of the "colonel's eaHy inquiries. J Jim _ Mcßride, the preesnt chief ranger, who was then assistant chief z of the park:scouts under the late Buffalo Jones, knew ,a Bill Jones, wood chopper aqd ne’er-do-well, chiefly re-, markable for an insatiable thirst and a' knack Of mlhlStering fcQt in a bonedry park. He was aboUtihe last man In theßockies fgrwhom a president of the United States would be expected to Inquire. “Bill put me Into office once,” said Roosevelt. “I want to see him, drunk or sober.” He further explained that the derelict had been sheriff duriij&Jiia, own days as a ranchman and had made him a deputy In a horsethief posse. “It took three days to find that old homed toad and bring Mm in,*" said Mcßride,- in recalling thes ineident, “but just to listen in at the colonel’s

The woodchopper tried to buck up after his talk with the president, but it wasn’t to befdone. The next winter we found him dead in the brush over on Bear creek. “The colonel was enthusiastic over the sport ‘of ski running, and was I something of a performer on the slabs I himself, for a novice. He strapped his .feet jnto them as often as opportunity offered. One morning on a slide near the Canon hotel he broke one ski and came a heavy cropper. government has fallen at last!’ he cried with a molar showing grin, as I coasted down to help untangle a living president and a pair pf dead sticks. “He, was looking at the wreck he had made of the hickory slabs when Chpt. John Pitcher, of the First cavalry then in command of the park, arrived. “ ‘Haye you plenty of these?’- Teddy said. " ‘.‘Only a few pairs, and they are the property of the interior department,” replied the officer. “In less than- tbreeweeka^herecame' a rtsh ' shipment of a hundred pairs. “Next afternoon the president challenged me to a race on snow shoes from Canyon to Mammoth, a distance of thirty-one miles. Those with him decided that the trip would be an unwise strain upon him, and began to argue against his attempting It. He got me to one side after a while and whispered: “ ‘We’ll let them talk, Mcßride. Just you stick around until midnight. They'V* be ’ aslW theft, and we’ll hit the trail!’ ~ ‘‘lt took Harry WL Child and Captain Pitcher two to talk him out of thaU He , wasn’t at all pleased at : having to veto his own plan for a secret departure.”—Ethel and James DOrrance in Munsey’S Magazine.
