The above is a Scriptural quotation, to be founds at tho citation given, and is concern ing the building of Solomon's tern-, pie. The reason therein assigned for the perfect quietude which existed in and about the great building while it was iii course of erection is that the stones and timbers were all made ready beforo being brought to the site of the great building. Heber beautifully alludes to this in the lit tle couplet, in which he says: No hammer Jo;' : no ponderous axes rung. Like some tall palm, the mystic fabric sprang. . The Jews have a legend to thd ef feet that Solomon did not employ men -in building the- great "house of the Lord, " but that he was aided in the gi"frutic undertaking by the genii. Ha vi .ig a premonition that he would not live to see the building finished, Solomon prrfyed to God that his death might be concealed from the genii until the structure was fin ished. Immediately after he made a staff, from a sprout of the tree of iife, which was growing in his gar den, and loaning upon this he died, standing boit upright in the unfinish- I ed temple. . Those who saw him thought that he was absorbed in prayer, and'they did not dis"Surb him for upward of a whole year, bull the genu worked day and night, thinking that they were being- constantly watched by him whose eyes had been closed in death many weeks. All this time, so the legend says. little white ants (one account says red mice) wero gnawing at the staff, and when the temple was finally fin ished the staff gave way, and the body of the dead Solomon fell prone ! upon the floor, Mohammed alludes to this queer legend in the Koran (see Sura xrxiv), whore he says, "When he (God) had decreed that Solomon should die, nothing d: bcSv ered his death unto them (the genii) except the creeping things of the earth. " St. Louis Republic. An Arkward Incident. Miss Sophie Eyre, the actress, was once made tho victim of a very awk ward incident through the too literal translation of tn order by a new maid she had engaged. - She was to appear in a new piece entitled "In His Power" and had, as is usual with modern actresses, got some magnificent dresses for the part she had to play. On the first night, just before her initial en trance, she said to her new' maid, as she stood by the wings waiting for her cue, "Be sure to hold my train up so that it will not sweep the floor." The first dress, it may be said, was a very beautiful one. The maid said "All right, ma'am," and Miss Eyre walked on and, what is more, the maid did so also, the latter holding up the ac tress' train as she went. Miss Eyre had some serious lines to deliver, and then had to make the circuit of the stage, and, quite unknown to the ac tress, who could not understand the apparent sensation among the au dience, the maid followed her. The audience fairly roared with laughter, and that virtually killed the piece at any.rate for that night. A Bur to Tjtzinegg. "California," said the fat man, "must be a delightful place for a lazy man from what I have read of it1' "It is if he hasn't got.a wooden leg," chipped in the man with the red goatee. "What on earth has that got to do with it?" "Well, I knew a wooden legged fellow once who went out there and tried to farm, but he had to give it up. You see, he was so lazy and the soil was so rich that about half tho time he would find that he had stood in one place so long that his leg had taken root, and that of course incon venienced him to. a degree that no true born lazy man could stand " .The fat man merely snorted Cin cinnati "Tribune.

How' Quartet of 'Insects Pat Half .-- Burned Fellow to Death, v't - Flies are not usually" accredited with great intelligence, but an illua traition observed one summer night goes far to disapprove "any idea that they are entirely bereft of thought It was hear Midnight, and a writer for the Philadelphia Call laid aside his pen for the day, but was con strained to remain at the desk by the strange actions of a" quartet of flies. One unfortunate buzzer: had ; flown too near the gaslight and had been so badlysinged that he could n4t fly. Quite helpless, he lay 6n his back struggblng to Spverturn himself. He almost succeeded, but so. painful were his efforts that mercy suggested the speedy killing of the insect. But the manifest (agitation of four un usually largo flies prevented a hasty execution. In great excitement the : quartet circled around : the unfortu nate, remaining within a radius of 12 inches. One pair seemed to touch heads,- and in' an instant onoof tho two went savagely, for the injured brother. After contending with him ! for a brief time the first helper left, ,when, without lapse of many' sec- onds, the . second of the pair went through the same performance. Here was a puzzle that required close study to solve. Were, the flies striv ing to aid thov suCerer.jor did they want to kill him . either because of his uselessness or to relieve him from pain?

There id a fable of German origin which describes . the terrible adven tures of four flies iu search of a breakfast.: The first fixed his affec tion on somevtempting jam, but the jam had been adulterated with cop peras, so ithat this fly died from in flammation. The second' thus warn- ed against luxuriesi resolved to eat only bread. But the bread was adul terated with alum, so this fly died from internal cramp. The third is the hope of drowning his grief for the loss of his companions, betook himself to the edg6 of the beer jug. ! But the beer was adulterated with CJocculus .indicus, ; so this fly, too, gave up the ghos a victim to poi. son. The fourth fly, seeing the fate of his comradeSjvdccided that . i lifer was' not worth living and proceeded 'to commit suicide on a paper labeled "Fly Poison" ; But the more he ate the better ;he throve for , the fly poi son, like everything else,' was exten sively adulterated and succeeding generations of flies have adopted it as their only safe food. . v ' ' . Sheets n Scotland. The custom of sleeping in one large sheet, doubled at the foot, seems to have been peculiar to Scotland and to have ,-made special ; impression on more than one English traveler; Fynes Moryson, writing in 1598, says: "They 1 used: but one sheet; orien at the sides and top, but close at the feet and so doubled " and John Ray, the naturalist, who visit ed Scotland about 1662, ' remarked that "it is the manner in some places there t lay on but one sheet as large as two, turned up from the feet up ward." The practice, I imagine, was continued until recent times, and I have when a boy slept in a sheet of the kind." i Such, pieces of linen were termed "sheets, " par excellence, the -single coverings which are now used being called 'half sheets.
