Matters According to the Pentateuch. There Is no mention of mules in the Pentateuch. Such breeding was contrary to the la^, but the Assyrian sculptures, in later times, give figures of mules, and they are noticed in later books of the Bible (Ezekiel xxv|i, 14 Zeohariah xiv, 15). Nor are doiaestio ^owls noticed, though known in Palestine in the time of Christ and represented on cylinders of the Persian period. There is no mention of the citron, whioh is native to Media, but whioh was only known in the Persian period in Palestine Gotten (Esther i, 6) and silk (Ezekiel xvi, 10) are alike unnoticed in theTorah, but oconr in later books, while flax, one of the most ancient materials in Asia and in Europe, is so noticed. The cochineal insect ("crimson," Isaiah i, 18) may early have supplied a dye, for it is found on the leaves of the Syrian oak, and'the purple dye from, the galbanum of operculum of the shellfish used at Tyre may date back to any age, since is found all along the Palestine boast as are the yellow crocus or saffron and the orange oolored henna and kohel for blaokening the eyes.

The Hebrews do not appear to have used horses before the time of Solomon, but the Oanaanites had horses and chariots, which are noticed monumentally between 1700 and 1400 B. O., as well as later. The Egyptians also had chariots long before the Exodus. Trading caravans, suoh as led Joseph to Egypt, are noticed in the fifteenth century B. O., in Palestine, and ships on the Syrian coast as early as 1600 B. O.— Scottish Review.

Man's Best Friend.

"Hev'a dog, miss?" says Bob Jakin wisely. "They're better friends nor any Christian. Lor, it's a fine thing t? hev a dumb brute fond on you it'll stiok to you, and make no jaw." George Eliot, wise as she was, never wrote anything wiser, and her wisdom is still in fashion, even in these fin de sieole days. What does Jerome say? And the chronicler of Montmorenoy may be supposed to know of what he was talking: "They are much superior to human beings as companions. They do not quarrel or argue with you. They never talk about themselves, but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interest^ in the conversation. They never m&ce stupid remarks. They never observe to Miss Brown aoross a dinner table that they always understood she was very sweet gn Mr. Jones (who has just married Miss Robinson). They never mistake your wife's oousin for her husband, and fancy that you are the father-in-law. And they never ask a young author With 14 tragedies, 16 comedies, 7 farces and a couple of burlesques in his desk why he doesn't write a play. They never say unkind things. They never tell us of our faults, 'merely for our own good.' They do not, at inconvenient moments, mildly remind us of our past follies and mistakes." Gentleman's Magazine.

Fan For Bank Clerks.

ALondon merchant has a portrait of himself engraved on his ohecks so that when he pays a bill his oreditor has the satisfaction of gazing upon the counterfeit presentment of the payer. These checks go to different towns and pass through various banks and olearing houses.

When the gentleman who thus advertises himself has his deposit book settled at the end of the month anJ gets back his oanceledi cheoks, it is a question whether he is pleased or vexed.

The portrait on each and every check is ornamented in a manner that is, to say the least, startling, and the more frftnlra the oheok has passed the greater theohange.

The first clerk through whose hands the paper passes will adorn the picture with a fierce mustache, the next will add a beard, the next a pair of goggles, and the next may ohange the aquiline nose to a retrousse.

All the changes capable of being made are rung, and by the time the check gets back the self advertiser doesn't recog? nize his own. photograph.—London TitBits.

HI* First Trousers.

There is an old and true saying to the effeot that a little boy's first pair of trousers always fit if the pockets are deep enough. That this and similar truisms do not exaggerate the degree of love entertained by youth for its first wee trouserlets was well evidenced by the remark of a Franklinville youngster who had recently attained to the dignity of "real pants." After exhibiting them to a large circle of envying acquaintances and friends he returned to his fond mamma with the question, "Say, ma, do angels wear 'em?" He was gently assured that tradition and Biblical history bore out no such wild supposition. "Oh, well," Freddie replied, brightening np after a resulting fit of abstraction, "I guess we don't all have to go to heaven, do we?"—Philadelphia Call 1?

Calling a Doj? by Telephone. An intelligent hunting dog who had strayed away was found in New Hartford, Conn., recently, and the finder

ucm

tified the dog's owner in Winsted. Thaj New Hartford man called up the owner by telephone to arrange for returning the dog, and while talking asked the owner the dog's name. "Hold him up to the telephone," was the reply. The part of the instrument was put against the dog's ear, and the owner cailed, "Dash." The dog recognized the voice, and set np a barking whioh showed his joy.—Beaton Herald.

PEOPLE MP THINGS.

Evangelist Smith, who is conducting a series of successful revival meetings at the People's temple, Boston, is a fullblooded gypsy and was brought up in New Forest, England. He Is described as a most picturesque, forcible and eloquent preaoher, though at the time of his conversion he could not read.

What is said 10 be the largest bicycle in the world has been made by a bicycle company in Providenoe, R. I. It is made to carry six persons.

The diameter of the wheels is thirty inches, the tires are 2)4 inches in diameter, the gear is compounded to 153, and the machine weighs 137K pounds.

Some "new women" among Philadelphia sooiety folk gave a "Twentieth Century Dinner" in the Quaker capital a few days ago. Only women were guests, and all the guests wore black skirts, and, for the rest of their attire, men's regulation evening dress, white shirtB and ties, high collars, low-cut white dress vests, and dress ooats. Whether they borrowed their clothes or bad them made to order is not told.

Rdueation and Woman.

Two forces—education and the woman question—are destined to influence and modify social conhitiorls. Education is being more widely disseminated and diversified by university extension. It is by education that the world must advance. Woman's development has always been through the peaceful arts.

ie has ever been the practical sex. has always been the originator and philosopher. No woman ever originated aoreed or philosophy, but it remains for them to put the-»theories, both religious and sooial, into praotice. She carlies them out, observes them in her home relations and instills them into the bndding mind of youth.

Women and men have radically different ideas of praotioal politics. To a man practical politics means attachment to some party and according support to it under all conditions and oiroumstances. To women praotioal politics

Women look at the result accomplished as the material point in politics.

How to Make a Handle Stick. Handles will get loose, do what you will, says The Wheel, and some time or other they will part company with the bar. Forty ways to cement them on have been exploited as many different times in the columns of the wheel papers, but the average sticker on of handles makes the mistake of smearing the oemenfc over the handle bar instead of placing it inside the handle, the consequence being that the handle when forced on, pushes up the cement, whioh forms in an unsightly ring round the end of the handle. The proper way is to melt a little cement, pour it into the mouth of the handle while the latter is being revolved, so as to make it run round, warm the end of the handle bar, but not sufficiently to injure the cork or celluloid, and push the handle on. The handle bar will thus tend to carry the cement farther in, and there will be none visible round the outside.—Exchange.
