Abashed at nothing, a commercial traveler in the south once propounded a qnestion to a couple of clergymen whom he encountered on a railroad train, which illustrate how easily a man may be tripped on a simple little "catch" problem. The drummer entered into a conver sation with the ministers and enter tained them amazingly with his bril liant conversation, touching men and affairs. Gradually the topics changed, until at last the talk was of Dr. Tal mage and his visit to the Holy Land. "Speaking of the Holy Land," said the graceless commercial man, 'l was was quite interested to read in a New York paper recently that a party of explorers in Palestine had discovered a huge heap of bones, which, from their size and quantity, are supposed to be of the children which Herod ordered killed.

"Yes," continued the drummer, "and, oddly enough, while nearly half of the bones are bleached white, the rest were as black as ebony."

They were sisters, these two, at the moment in awful peril, and they were alone in the house in their extremity, says the Free Press. "Here," said the elder one, handing her sister a deadly-looking dirk, "is a knife. Bethink you you can use it?" "I bethink me I can," replied the younger girl with chattering teeth, "but oh, Celeste, is there no way but this?" She had read "Virginius." "None; methinks I hear him move." "S'do I. He is struggling to escape." "Open the cellar door cautiously. I have oiled the hinges. I will Btand here and hold the light. Courage, brave girl! HiBt! I can hear him stir." "Now may the fates defend us," whispered the girl with the knife, "and save me from a death ignoble. What vital part shall I strike, Celeste?" "Give it to him in the neck, ouster. But soft, is yonder light the jocund orb of day, and has the night faded into morrow?" "Nay, that is the electric lighton the corner which has just showed its hand. I go now to kill him. Yes, I have said it, to k-k-kill him!" The brave, heroic, beautiful girl plunged down the stairs into the opaque semi-darkness, and in a moment a terrific shriek Celeste at once rec ognized the brand told that all was over. "Are you bringing him up?" asked the girl at the head of the cellar stairs In a voice alike on both sides. - "Yes by hand," came the ghostly whisper. The next moment he was dropped on the floor, and the sisters threw them selves into each other's arms, while shriek after shriek clove the purple dis tance of the night. They had murdered a mouse.

In the "History of Nineveh and Its Palaces," by Joseph Uonomi, we find a description of perhaps the oldest lock ever discovered, says Hardware. It was used in securing this prates in om of the palaces of Khorsabnd. In dc scribing this ancient piece of hard ware, if such terms may be applied to wooden locks, he says: "At the end of the chamber, just behind the first bulls, was formerly a strong gate of one leaf, which was fastened by a large wooden lock, like those still used in the cast, of which the key is as much as a man can conveniently carry, and by a bar which moved into a square hole in the wall. "It is to a key of this description that the prophet probably alludes 'And the key of the house of Pnv'.d will I lay upon his shoulder,' and it is remarkable that the word for key in this passage of Scripture, 'muftaV is the samo in use all over the etist at flu present time. The key of an oriiinur;, street door is commonly thirteen oi fourteen inches long and the key of the gate of a public building or of a street oc of a quarter of a town is two feet or more in length. "The iron pegs nt one end of the piece of wood correspond to so iniiny holes in the wHde n bar or bolt of the lock, which when the door or g1e is shut cannot he opened until the key has been inserted and the impediment to the drawing back of the bolt re moved by raising up so many iron pins that fall down into holes in the bur or bolt corresponding to the peg in the key." This description mid others of a cor roboratory character prove that this form of lock mid key win in use in Kgypt four or five thoiisund years, dur ing which extended period of time il does not apienr to have undergone any successful ehnngc.
