Tho Famoua City Its Walla and the
Curse of Joshua
The walls of Jericho remains of
which have been excavated by
man archaeologists are of course
i chiefly famous in connection with their
miraculous destruction by Joshua It Is
recorded in the book of Joshua chan
ter vi that by command of the Lord
Joshuas army compassed the city go
ing roundabout it once a day for six
days headed by seven priests bearing
seven rams horns before the ark On
the seventh day they encampassed it
seven times Then on Joshuas com
mand the people shouted and the
priests blew with the trumpets and it
came to pass when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet that the peo
ple shouted with a great shout and
the wall fell down flat so that the peo
ple went up Into the city every man
straight before him and they took the
city destroying all that was in it ex
cept Iiahab the harlot who had hid
den the messengers sent by Joshua to
spy out the city and her fathers
household The date of this destruction
is placed at B C 1401 In spite of
Joshuas curse on any one who should
rebuild the city it was rebuilt in the
reign of Ahab in B C 918 by Hlel a
native of Bethel and it is recorded in
I Kings xvi 34 how the curse of
Joshua was fulfilled The second city
flourished and under Herod the Great
became important It was sacked by
one Simon slave of Hercd Archelaus
the son of Herod founded a new town
on the plain which he had planted
with palms Jericho was Anally de
stroyed by Vespasian in A D 68

DOING THE CZAR
A Display of Quick Wit by the Come
dian Martineff
The Emperor Nicholas of Russia
was once sold as follows
During an interview which Martineff
the comedian and mimic had succeed
ed in obtaining with Prince Volkhon
sky high steward the emperor walked
into the room unexpectedly yet with
a design as was soon made evident
Telling the actor that he had heard
of his talents and should like to see
a specimen of them he bade him
mimic the old minister The feat was
performed with so much gusto that
the emperor laughed immoderately and
then to the great horror of the poor
actor desired to have himself taken
off
Tis physically impossible plead
ed Martiueff
Nonseuse said Nicholas I insist
on its beiug done
Finding himself on the horns of a
dilemma the mimic took heart of
grace and with a promptitude and
presence of mind that probably saved
him buttoned his coat over his breast
expanded his chest threw up his head
and assuming the imperial part to the
best of his power strode across the
room and back then standing opposite
the minister he cried in the exact
tone and manner of the czar
Volkhonsky pay M Martineff 1000
silver rubles
The emperor for a moment was dis
concerted but recovering himself
with a smile he ordered the money
to be paid
Stories cf John Bright
John Bright was supposed to be a
total abstainer but once when Ed
ward Miall was very nervous at the
prospect of having to make an impor
tant speech in the house Bright said
Well Miall if I were you Id for
once go and have a pint of cham
pagne
Mr Miall did as he was told and the
result may be judged from the narra
tors comment that champagne on
an unaccustomed interior is not al
ways a curative or a tonic
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife but occasionally they
were not at one about the children
When they came to a point of abso
lute disagreement he used to say
Now I tell thee if thou doesnt do
what I wisli Ill go straight to Mr
Gladstone and ask him to make me a
knight to which the answer invari
ably was
Oh anything rather than that
He Was Not Superstitious
A captain of an ocean liner tells the
following story Coming from the old
country was a very nervous old lady
who complained that she was sure
there was a rat in her stateroom
Keep it there madam said the
captain
But do you like rats asked she
Ive got a- nest in my cabin re

LIFE IN MEXICO
Where Thoy Bar the Windows and
Leave the Doors Open
The City of Mexico swarms with life
yet It Is still life It is the hour of tue
siesta when you arrive aud the streets
are deserted of moving things though
every darkened doorway possesses its
own colony of slumberers who huve
cast themselves down where they
stood to sleep away the heat laden
hours when no man works Evin the
very dogs slink Into the shadow of the
dazzling walls and loll pitifully The
tinkle of mule bells is hushed The
cry of the muleteer sounds no longer
To walk through those streets with im
perious foot after the British fashion
seems sacrilege One might bo walk
ing through a city of the dead
But the hot hours pass the city
awakens the mules strain and plunge
at the collar the dogs prowl about be
tween the lega of those who pass the
shops are opened the scent of garlic
saturated cookery rises strongly man
tilla shrouded faces peep from ancient
casemates protected by masidve Iron
bars and the city of sleep becomes a
city of leisurely wakefulness You no
tice these barred casemates particular
ly They are a feature of Mexico
Householders bar the windows and
leave the doors unfastened and here
you have an epitome of Mexican char
acter Do nothing openly everything
on the sly even to wooing your lady
love
You might spend a long lifetime in
the City of Mexico and still leave
much unseen there are so many fea
tures to note the actual city life the
life beyond thosti jealously guarded
windows the life lived in the flower
scented patios where cooling fountains
play with musical softness Here
comes a vaquero riding nonchalantly
up the street a typical product of
Mexico a cattle hand from one of the
outlying ranches a perfect fury un
chained when the liquor of the coun
try is in him a gentle dreamy child
when the liquor has evaporated and
yet between the two events he might
have committed a dozen murders with
out the slightest compunction His
swarthy face is alight with merry
laughter His earrings sparkle in the
declining sun The gay trappings of
his magnificent horse fling back daz
zling specks of color In his cha
parajos those fringed overalls which
protect the speckless white riding
breeches from the dust of the way
his bell buttoned jacket his sombrero
with the haft of a machete protruding
from his crimson sash he might be a
hero of old legend Instead of a com

Why Men Wear Trousers
No living man of this age ever de
liberately chose to adopt trousers
He was forced into them and all other
eccentricities of dress by woman In
the very earliest sartorial experience
of every man he is swathed in a queer
bundle of incoherent bandages by a
woman Later she puts him into cute
little dresses so that the neighbors
cant tell him from his little sister
Still later she cuts off his curls and
puts him into knickerbockers and he
puts on long pants when she gives
the word and not before That Is all
that man has to do or ever had to do
with wearing trousers Woman forced
him into them in the first place and
now he is afraid to wear anything else
for fear of making a sensation Provi
