A country guest at a certain London hotel, having a dread of pickpockets, vvenit to the clerk and hiuided him. a 20 note to be put in the safe, sa-ya Comic Cuts. Asking for it irext day he was thunderstruck when tie func tionary to whom he had given the money coolly denied any recollection of the matter. Whereupon the coun tryman, went to a lawyer. "Get another 20 notie," said the law yer, "and go, accompanied by a friend, back to. the hotel. Apologize to the clerk for your mistake. Say it was a defect of memory. Attribute it to absent-mindedness. Deposit the sec ond -0 note in the presence of your friend ar.d come back to me." The mystified ruralist observed in structions to the very lettier. "Now," said the lawyer, "go back clorje to the clerk and rck him for your 20 note. Knowing that your frieml saw him receive it he will give you back the second one. Then take your friend with you next day, approach the clerk, ask him boldly far that 23 note and as there was no witness to your receipt cE the second note he will.be forced to retjuirn that also." The ruse proved completely success ful, much to the gratification of the countryman. t An Immense Blast Fired. San Diego, Dec. 28.

AN INTERESTING RELIC. A Battered Tablet from the Ancient Tem ple of Herod. ' In the interesting museum of an tiquities at Constantinople the object that struck me most was. a hoary, bat tered tablet, with a long Greek rut crip tion cut on it in teven l!i:cs. 1: was discovered in Jerusalem abcut tl;e end of May, 1871, by the French archaeolo gist, Clermont-Ganneau, at a consider-, able- depth below the gTound, in the foundations of an Arab house, not far from the mosque of Omar, on what might have been the site of the temple of Uerod. This is one of the veipy few relics of that magnificent structure which have survived to our day. ' The inscription is in capital monumental letters and may be translated thus: "XosUrauger can enter within the balustrade round the sanctuary and inclosurcs. Who ever .'is caught will be. responsible to himself for his death." Josephus gives a graphic description of Herod's tem ple, and mentions that the court of the Gentiles was separated from th? part that was restricted to the Jews by two parallel walls, about 15 feet apart. -The outer wall was about 4ys feet h:gh. It was an elaborate carved stone balus trade with 13 doors in it, each of which had a, pillar in front of it, bearing an inscription in Greek and Latin, forbidding- any foreigner to enter the inclo surc on pain of death. Josephus men tions that thei Romans respected this law and no Gentile, ever ventured t intrude beyond this point. The prohibition in quest:on, how ever, was long regarded as apocryphal, even although Philo spoke of the in scription and corroborated the state ment of the Jewish historian. But the discovery of Clermont-Ganneau has placed the matter beyond dispute. Tho tablet which he found was part of on:? of 'the columns guarding the inner sanctuary from the -approach of un hallowed feet, and the connection be tween the inscription carved on it and the passage in Josephus is most strik ing. The. expressions and forms aro almost identical. There is indeed a curious variation in the Greek word for "balustrade," or partition wul!. In the passage in Josephus it is druphak tos, whereas in the inscription it is truphaktos; but this variation may be accounted for by the fact that Jo sephus used the correct clnssicdl term, while t;he inscription spelled the word according to the Jewish method of pronouncing it, changing a d into a t. Josephus twice refers to the inscrip tion, once in his "Antiquities;" and the parallel passages are. differently word ed, showing that he did not intend to give the exact phraseology of the stone monument, but only the sense; and, therefore, that the tablet should give the sense of Josephus' words, without his exact expression, is just what might have been expected in such a discov ery. According to Clermont-Ganneau, the tablet is the most ancient, as well as the most interesting Greek inscrip tion which archaeological investiga tion in Jerusalem has produced. Its bearings are most important. It sup plies a standard of comparison by which to distinguish the Herod ian sculpture and palaeogTuphic works from those of previous or later days. Sunday at Home. Suffocated by Sulphur. . While) two men were hunting on th- Yellowstone river, tfhey saw inasmaM gulch ai grizzly bear, curled up as if asleep. Being mem of experience, they climbed, up the side of the gulch and. when out of reach, hurled rocks at the huge animal. To their surprise it never moved, although hit quite .frequently. Presently it dawned upon them that the grizzly was dead, and closer ex amination revealed such to be a fact There was no wound on its body, and while the men were pondering over this singular circumstance, they becam conscious of a sense of suffocation from strong sulphur fumes, arising from sev eral holes in the ground near by. At some risk they investigated further and found the skeletons of four other bears, an elk. squirrels and other small game, all evidently asphj'xiatpd by the noxious gases. The gulch made a nat ural basin in which the gas settled, and, as it is heavy and lies near the surface, quadrupeds fall easy, victims in this death-trap. Even the hunters suffered from severe headache and nausea, after their brief stav. Golden Days. Buried Cities in Central Asia.
