THE TEMPERING OF BRONZE
Knowledge of How to Do It Perlahed
With Hlrartn Ablf, Man of Tyro,
Accord ina tq Tradition.
When King Solomon had reached n
certain stage In the building of tlio
t< tple of Jerusalem ho wuuted the
h<lp of metal worker*, for his (>ooi>lo
knew little of that art. Therefore
ho sent to 111m neighbor, Illram, king of
Tyre, traditional descendant of Tubal
Oiln, the pioneer of workers In brass
and Iron. Itrus* In those duya w?a
not brass, mm It Is understood now, but
properly bronze, observes the New
York Sun. So King lUrain scut bis
tuaster of craft, lllraiu Ablf.
The TOlile relate? that "he was a
widow's son of the tribe of Naphtall,
and his fnthor was a man of Tyre, u
worker la brass, and bo was tilled with
wisdom and understanding and cuo<
nlng to work all works In br^ss,"
Masonry holds Hiram Ablf as Its
founder and Masonic tradition has it
that this master motal worker was
murdered by Jealous artisans In Solo
mon's service.
It seems that Solomon wanted Hl
ram Ablf to touch one of his men how
to fashion and to mix that wonderful
bronze so that he, too, should have
a master of the era ft In his own king
dom. News of this came to the ears
of a lessor artisan, who /l I so had as
pirations. Therefore when the temple
was finished and the night before the
man of Tyre was to return to his na
tive elty he was waylaid and mur
dered after refusing to divulge the
secret of his cunning.
From that day on, the tradition Is,
no more of that wonderful material
was made, but existing bronze Imple
ments were melted up and worked
over from time to time that weapons
might bo fashioned for the fighting
men.
SLOW WITHOUT ADVERTISING
Merchant May Eventually Establish
Reputation Among 8mall Circle,
' but It Takes Years and Years.
?r. .v.
? Withoutadvertising, n merchant
qap eventually bul!.d a reputation for
his store among those who chance to
come Into It, and among their friends,
so thai they will have .confidence. In
him and lb his clerks or salespeople,
bo that they will buy goods more read
ily, having greater confidence. But
thnt takes years and years.
Through advertising, salespeople
sell more goods In a given number of
hours because, through advertising,
the merchant has made the public
know that it is safe to buy from him,
and the salespfcople do not have to ar
gtieJthe merits of the goods. All
wool is all wool and fast colors are
fast.
The simple result is that each
salesperson sells rtiore goods In a
given number of hours and his or her
salary Is distributed over a greater
number of sales, so that the cost of
selling the goods is actually reduced.?
Exchange. . _
Couldn't Blame Him.
There is a Cleveland park boy who
has been trying to get a good mark in
geography, inasmuch as tho teacher at
the John Eaton school has been givlh"
him only "fuir" in thai particular
branch of his scholastic work. So the
lad has been going over and over the
book, learning the lessons by heart.
In tills particular text book the author
seems to hntfe had the word "accessi
ble" on the brainriPor in every lesson
something Is found to be accessible.
Either the farms or the riyers or the
bays or the inlnes seem, to be access! ?
ble to something or other. In the lat
est lesson the "forests ore afcces&lble."
The boy's father, also going over the
lessons, asked his son If he knew what
IF meant to say that forests were ito
cesslble, arid the boy didn't waver an
Instant. He came back strong:
. "Why, certainly. Anything that can
be easily cut by axes is accessible."?

Shuddering. , .
Shuddering Is done by clenching the
Jaw's and running a quiver down the
spine. It is important to be able to
shudder well at a time when there Is
so much news of a shuddering nature.
A few momenta spent each day in the
simpler exercises of shuddering will
soon make yon proficient. Compose
your features and sit quietly for a
while, 'Then think of something hor
rible. Ton may not be able to shud
der at first, but la time you will find
you can shudder at any length on slight
provocation. It is always embarras
sing to be unable to shudder well when
yon are giving a sympathetic ear to a
friend's account of his operation.?De

The 8on'a Opinion.
The late Mr. Hennlker Heaton's use
of questions in the house of commons
did not commend itself to all his fam
ily. One of his eons, a small midship
man, did not fall to expresshls views
on the matter. One day, when the 1st-'
ter was home on leave, his father said
to him *
"I am always very glad to get your
letters, but I notice you never tell me
anything of interest about the navy,"
"No, thank yon," replied the small
midshipman; "too many of our fellows
have had their careers simply ruined
by their fathers asking questions in
parliament 1"

CHINAS "BATTLE-AX" COINS
8mall Model# of Various ^Jtenplla
Used as Medium of ExchanQe in
22&S a. a
Jlnskcll Oriental museum at Culver
Blty of Chicago has recently been pre
sented with a renuVrkubhf Collect Ion of
tH>iiih? by Jacob Speleher u,f Shanghai,
China. Chinese coins, medals and utn
nlets to tin* mnnher of 811, arranged
la historical sequence, are supplement
ed l>y vol us of An nam and Korea, with
u few from the old recline of Japan.
Altogether, 1.U18 specimens are In
cluded. The donor was engaged in
their collection some twelve years In
China. After tying on exhibition for
three or four years at the Boston Mu
seum of Fine Arts, they are now per
manently located in Chicago.
Our adjective "peeunlury" still bears
fitness to the cattle which served
early Home us measures of value. In
China likewise, but far earlier, actual
commmlli'cs had constituted the lirst
medium of exchange. The Chinese,
however, seem to have preferred metal
objects, especially battle axes and
knives. As government credit became
established, it was found more con
venient to coin small models of these
utensils. The exhibit begins, then,
with "battle-ax" coins, some of which
date back tradltlouully to the period
225a-11 22 B. C. Evert MWrthe adop
tion of a later date this would proba
bly give China tlrst pinco In the study
of numlsmuties.
"Knife" coins fonn an Interesting
group. Their round handles, with
holes in the center, two of which are
distinguished l?y a square perforation,
uru Supposed to have furnished the
pattern for the round cash with square
holes so regularly used later. Other
peculiar shapes are "bridge" and the
I>ebbleliko pellets called by the Chi
nese numismatists "ant" coins. All
these oldest, most brittle copper speci
mens ore mounted In handsome truyS
of camphor wood. The largest object
In Mr. Spelcher's collection is a mug
nlficent medal with dragon decoration,
bestowed as a reward for loyalty by
the ruler, Wu Tsung (1525 A. D.).?

Characters of "Macbeth/?
The names of some of the lending
characters In the play of "Macbeth"
were borne by real persons who fig
ured In Scotch history, but the charac
ters themselves and the events of tho
play ure imaginary. Macbeth was a
Scottish king and Macduff was a Scot
tish nobleman of the middle ages.
History states that Macbeth slew Dun
can In 1039 because he hud usurped
the throne to which. Macbeth had the
better claim. But the circumstances
of the slaying were entirely different
from those described by Shakespeare
with large poetic license. Bunquo has
a Scotch sound, but no person of that
nnme figures in Scotch history and
Shakespeare seems to ha ye created
him' mainly In order to name a ghost.
In the play he Is killed by order of
Macbeth and In one of the most pow
erful scenes of the play his ghost ap
pears at a banquet, visible only to
Macbeth, aqd terrifying him while un
seen by the other banqueters.
Shrine of Health-Seeker*. v
The age of mirncles is over, but the*,
little French town of Lourdes Is not
nware of the fact. This is today the
lending shrine of Europe, and hun
dreds of thousands of pilgrims annual
ly visit It, many of them In search of
a cure for incurable ills. There have
been many surprising instnnces of
healing performed by the waters of
Lourdes, and scores of physicians
come every year to watch and investi
gnte the cures. Everything is done
with a scientific thoroughness that is
characteristic of the French, whose
passion for clear thinking is such that
they will Investigate even what some
of them consider supernatural phe
nnmpnn with th^-tttioroscope. IevbI^s
coming to Lourdes are registered at a
bureau, and examined by eminent
physicians before and after they have
Visited the shrine. ? ;?
Insomnia Only a Habit
One of the reasons why insomnia Is
so much dreaded is that It is wrongly
conceived by many of the laity to be
a disease. There is no such disease
ahd in its simple form, where there Is
no positive disease in the background,
It is merely a bad cell habit, kept alive
by some fault In the manner of living,
some breach of brain discipline, or
some disturbance in the functions of
the body that results in insistent mes
sages being sent to the bxala centers
during sleep or while wfyfire trying to
sleep. Trying to sletfp Is to pathetic
and futile task, and mtfch better re
sults usually can be obtained by pot
trying to sleep.?Worldy's Work.
No Excuse for Being Late.
"I see ?? Chicago woman is the In
ventor of a dressing table with detach
able legs, the whole affair folding so
that It can be carried like a suitcase.'*
"No use for her being late at the
opera now. She can take along the
dressing table and finish when she gets
there."**
