iftumotous department. Unconvinced.?Many and strange are the innocent sophistries of childhood in gaining it? point How quickly they learn even to distrust the evidences of their senses! A little girl who was addicted to a prodigal use of sugar upon her oatmeal, had been put upon an allowance of a reasonable number of spoonfuls. One morning she had been given the specified quantity, but presently asked, "Mamma, may I have Just one spoonful more?" "No, dear." "By-and-by some one noticed that the little girl was sitting sulkily before her untasted plate, and inquired, "Why don't you eat your oatmeal, Kitty r "I can't; it isn't sweet enough." "Nonsense!" said mamma. "Don't be a little fuse-budget. Try a spoonful and you'll like it." "But If you only knew how sour it is!" said Kitty, tragically. Mamma good-naturedly took a spoonful. "Eat it immediately, dear," she said, with decision. "It tastes quite sweet enough." Kitty obediently took up her spoon, but she had one more remark to make: "It may taste sweet," she said, resignedly, "but, mamma, it isn't sweet" The Laziest Man Aljve.?In an English country village there has Just been burled the laziest man alive. Lazy Tom would do nothing in the shape of work. The village folk, getting tired of him, determined to make him work or bury him alive. Accordingly they procured a rough-made coffin, and the leader of the party explained to Tom their intentions. Tom refused to work, so without more ado they put him into the coffin, formed a procession, and started for the burying ground. After going some distance, a cottager, seeing the "funeral," and not hav Ins heard of a death, asked who it was. On being: told who it was, she requested the party to give Tom one more chance. The coffin was put down, and the cottager said: "Now, look here, Tom; I have got a lot of beans in my shed, enough to keep you alive for awhile. You can have them, and when they are gone, perhaps you will feel Inclined to work." "What do you say to that?" said the leader of the party. "Be the beans shelled?" drawled out Tom. "No," said the cottager. Closing his eyes, Tom murmured, "Go on with the funeral." . ' * * An Exasperated Landlord.?A tale comes from the Nutmeg State of a man who traveled much and was well known wherever he went by hotel men and others as a "proverbial kicker." Nothing was ever good enough or bad enough, hot enough or coM enough, rich enough or poor enough for him. One day he went to one of the best hotels in the state and put up for the night His fame had preceded him, and the landlord gave orders to high and low to serve him with the best, and to wait on him with alacrity. His wishes were all anticipated that night, and he went to bed as happy as a man like him could be with nothing to growl about. In the morning extra pains were taken with his breakfast, after which the landlord went and inquired if everything was all .right, adding that he trusted his breakfast had been satisfactory. ** ? *- ?? ?kn ""Weil, 11 WilS mil, auimiicu guest, "but I like a breakfast to be hot. This wasn't hot enough." "Very well, sir," responded the ex-1 asperated landlord, "we have done our best for you. There is, however, only one place so hot your breakfast would be sure to please you. You'd better go there." And walked off. Frighthnetd.?Very thin as well as very portly men are sometimes placed In embarrassing positions by their excess or lack of flesh. A physician living In the northern part of the city, says the Philadelphia Call, is noted for his extreme thinness, which is made more apparent by his height of six feet four inches. Several days ago, during his absence, a match boy called at his house, was admitted, taken into the back office, and the doctor's wife bought some of his stock. The money was in a closet in company with an articulated skeleton, which was disclosed as soon as the door was opened. # The boy took one look at the grinning horror, and fled from the house, leaving both money and matches. This was related to the doctor, and several days afterward the same boy was seen passing the house. On the doctor's attention being called to the fact, he went to the door and beckoned the lad to come to him. Holding his fingers to his nose in a very expressive but vulgar manner, the match boy shouted out: "Not much, you big old skelington! I knows yer, even If you has got on yer clothes!" Still Waiting.?Bishop P. F. Stevens of South Carolina was urging on a young man the other day the importance of self-appreciation, says the Boston Post. "To think too little of yourself," he said "is quite as harmful as to think too much. Modesty and humility are all very well in their way. but there is great danger, by overdoing them, of creating a Uriah Heep impression." Bishop Stevens laughed quietly. "I once knew a young minister," he said, "who was extravagantly modest and humble. "One Christinas Eve his congregation called at the parsonage and presented him with a plush armchair. " 'Your eloquence and goodness,' the congregation's spoksman said, 'are the inspiration of this gift.' "Tears flooded the eyes of the young divine, he was so moved. " 'I am unworthy of such kindness,' he said. 'All I am I owe to divine assistance. I?' "But he could proceed no further. His voice broke. " 'Don't cry young man,' said a deacon. dryly. 'Your Maker has a heap to do for you yet.'" itU'.crtlancoun grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Nsws nd Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. CHESTER.

Quite a young lad asked his father: "Could I have been a millionaire when Joseph was in Egypt?" Recent historical researches and statistics in ancient Jewish papers tend to show that in the days preceding the birth of Christ there probably were wealthier men than the world has even now. To illustrate, there was one Jewish ruler by the name of Korah. To form an idea of his fortune it is stated that it required no less than 300 white mules to carry the keys of his grain storehouses, and these keys were not made of heavy metal, but of light leather strips. Five of these leather strips weighed a pound. The carrying capacity of each mule waa about 200 pounds. Therefore Korah had so many store-houses that he required 300,000 keys to get into them. The mathematician who took these figures from the Talmud estimates that Korah was worth $3,000,000,000, or three times the amount credited to any single man in the world today. King Solomon himsfclf was an extraordinarily wealthy man. He had 40,000 stable horses and 4,000 stables for 1,400 chariots, with 12,000 horsemen. Every horse was worth 150 shekels and every chariot 600 shekels, as ftny boy may learn by consulting the books of Kings and Chronicles. A shekel is worth about fifty cents in American money, so that it is estimated that Solomon's stables and horsemen represented an investment of nearly $6,000,000. The gift* whlph the Queen of Sheba brought to Solomon have been valued at the equivalent of 4,200,000 German thalers. What Solomon himself expended upon the building of his temple is put at the enormous sum of $250,000,000. If with this are included the precious stones, marble and other rare building material used, it is believed that an exact reproduction of the temple todav would make its cost aDDroxi mate $500,000,000 In American money. The boy who Is interested in figures may take his own Testament and determine that in the building- of the temple King Solomon gave to Hiram, king of Tyre, nearly 4,500,000 bushels of wheat, nearly the same amount of barley, nearly a million gallons of bath wine and any quantity of bath oil. At the current price of wheat today this quantity would be worth near $4,000,000, and the barley would be worth $1,500,000. The 8,000 talents of gold would be valued at $192,000,000; the 17,000 talents of silver at $11,000,000 and the 18,000 talents of brass at over $200,000. The wages of the laborers employed for nearly seven years would equal over $37,000,000. The temple of King Herod represented an enormous expenditure. It was built of intersecting bevellededged alabaster and marble that resembled the waves of the sea. But this temple of Herod's was surpassed by the magnificent one built in Alexandria by the Jews. This was called a labyrinth and contained seventy-one cathedrals. Each cathedral cost no less than 210,000 talents of gold, and a talent of gold was valued at $24,000. When Jerusalem was beseiged before its second destruction, there were three rich Jews living there. They resolved rather than surrender to the enemy to feed all the inhabitants of the city for twenty-one years if necessary. One of them stipulated to furnish wheat and barley, another to furnish wine and oil and another firewood. Assuming that the population was 1,000,000 (by actual census at the Passover festival in the year 66, or three years before the destruction) and allowing $100 a year for maintenance of a person, this would have cost the^ three men over $2,000,000. 'mere js little aouDt DUt tnai mere were enormously rich men In those days, but the people who worked and the people who believed that money should not be the sole end of life were not as well off, and did not have as much means as they do today. Wealth is more generally distributed today, and it Is possible for any boy who is willing to work and be true to himself to acquire a comfortable living and business. afe-qr: ~<n - vy jj - i ? & vMEIk *' JHHBHT ' ????*?
