THE STORY.
"S
OLOMON! Solomon!" Breath
lessly the woman listened, and
getting no response, she raised he
voice' and cried:
"Solomon! Solomon!"
Bathsheba had returned from tho
presonco of King David In great haste
and as sho rushed into tho palaco
David had built for her and her son
Solomon, sho laid aside all her re
serve and dignity and called frantic
ally for tho young man. The sound
WHEN TO SELECT A HUSBAND.
Certain General Principles Regarded
as Established,
Because It is the duty of evory
woman to marry somo man, it by no
means follows that sho is donrived of
the privilege of making acute dis
crimination; on the contrary, to fulfill
her mission us completely ns possible,
sho should exercise tho greatest caro
in selecting a mate. Tinio was when
sho had no suy in the matter, and in
somo countries she has llttlo or 110110
to-day; but in this happily civilized
land she still possesses, and will un-
doubtedly hold for nil time, tho rlght
in si. to cnooso and then ensnare.
It is n noble prerogative ono, In
our judgment, that should be appreci
ated and cherished above all others.
And yet, as wo have observed. It
should bo exercised with caution. Lot
nothing bo left to chance, as Plato
would have hud It when ho decreed
that pairing should bo done by lot;
while not over-nice, bo at least nur-
tlcular, in order that tlto one chosen
may feel honored by tho distinction
of her volco awoke the echoes, and
the scurrying feet of the servants
could be heard as thoy hastened to
er presence.
"Where can he be?" Impatiently
rled Bathsheba when no Solomon ap
peared. For an Instant she contem
plated the wondering servants as they
gathered before her, and then com
munded them sharply:
"Go find him. Lose not .1 moment.
Flic king's business requires haste."
A Bcurrylng of feet and again the
woman woh left alone.
"The king has promised," she ex
claimed as she paced nervously to
and fro. "Solomon shall sit upon tho
throne of his father! Adonljah must
be thwnrtcd." And the Mashing eyes of
tho woman, tho stern lines on the
face and the tightly-clenched hnntls
ndicnted tho spirit which completely
controlled her. "He may have his
feast at Bnrogel," she continued to
herself. "Even now, I suppose, he is
lunning with his followers what he
shall do when he Is come into' the
kingdom, but the king has promised
and God Is good. He will bring these
plnns to naught. Hut Solomon, where
s he? He must be ready against the
coming of tho king's servants."
And with this last thought in mind
she hurried off to the npartments oc-
upled by the boy and was soon busy
selecting the garments which she In
tended, he should wear when he was
anointed king.
And whllo the mother was thus
busy and while the servants of Bath
sheba were going hither and thither
n search of Solomon, there was much
oxcitemcnt und stir among the serv
onts of King David.
Had there ever been such trans
formation before? But a few hours
before there had been sadness and
dejection In the palace, for it was
thought that the king was dying, and
then had come the visit of Bathsheba,
and of Nathan the prophet, and sud
denly the king seemed to shake off
the stupor which hud crept In upon
dm. Tho oyo had kindled with some
of tiie old-time tire, the form which
nul seemed shrunken und weak
thrilled with new life and sat erect,
and the voice which only had spoken
for days past in feeble expression of
some trifling want, was now speaking
forth words of command. The news
of all this spread like wild fire
throughout all the city of Jerusalem
and was soon upon the lips of every
body, and ere long the streets were
thronged with people w:ho, with an air
of expectation, waited the coming of
something they know not what.
Bodies of soldiers were moving to
und fro and forming into companies
and divisions. About the palace of
the king the excitement and commo
Hon centralized, and when the people
saw the king's magnificent white
mule, richly caparisoned, brought
forth, what a shout went up.
it had been a long time since the
splendid creature had been -seen
abroad in the streets, for none but
the king might ride upon him, and
now the query went forth from mouth
to mouth:
"Is the king to ride today?"
"Yea, the king is to ride to-day," er
claimed Nathan to himself, as he over
heard tho question while hurrying on
towards the home of Bathsheba.
At the door ho met. the returning
servants who had been searching for
the young man.
"Solomon cannot be found?" ex
claimed Nathan, repeating the words
of the servants. "Have you searched
everywhere?"
"Everywhere."
"Have you been to the Temple?"
"We have not been there, but we
think some of. the other servants went
thither."
But Nathan was off in the direction
of the place without hearing the last
sentence. Ho knew better than any
one else the delight which the young
man took in visiting the place and sit
ting in medltution there. Ever since
his return from Egypt lie hud often
sought the quiet and seclusion of tho
Temple. In Egypt the great temples
were the centers of learning, and
why should not the Temple of the
conferred upon him, and so be tho
more readily Induced to show his un
dying gratefulness.
Much that was thought and written
years ago on how to choose a wifo was
good enough for tho time, but the re-1
cont reversal of the relative attitudes
of seeker and sought renders it value
less. Nevertheless, despite the fact
that in considering tho points to be
heeded and tho precautions to be ob
served by womankind, wo And our
selves in a fallow field, certain general
principles may be regarded ns estub
llshed. It Is best, for example, to cup
lure a husband while ho is still young,
docllo and plustlc. Preferably also
he should be in love, lie muy then bo
trained after tho manner best calcu
lated to serve the convenience of her
for whom thenceforth he must und

Why He Proposed.
Molly "O, Pnt, I'm surprised at ye
proposln' to mo yer first wife only

she's as dead as iver she'll be." Lon
t?x?u Oylulon.
God 01 Israel be the place where one
should learn wisdom and sec nntl un
derstand with a clear mind? Reasoning
thus the desire to go thither hod grown
upon him, and It was therefore towards
tho Tabernacle that Nathan hurried.
"My son," ho exclaimed, when he
ad found him; "Kuowest thou not that
the heart of all the people Is turning
to thee, and that the king has given
commandment that thou shnlt bo
anointed king at Glhou this day and
that thou shnlt sit with him upon his
throne?"
"It Is as God desires," replltjd tho
young man, rising, and calmly roplius-
ng his mantle about his sturdy young
form.
Nathan looked at him vouderlngly.
"But art thou not surprised?"
"Nay, rather nut l certain that that.
which God hath spoken is about to
como to pans.
"Then let us hasten," exolalmed Na
than, pressing Ills arm about tho
form of tho young man and gently
hastening his footsteps. "For 1 fear
even now the king's mulo awaits thee
at thy door."
"What gives the young man such
self-control, such poise?" Nathan
asked himself over and over again
during that short walk bock to tho
palace of Bathsheba. And he
watched with wondering eyes as Sol
omon quietly donned his robes, grave-
y received the loving salutation of
lis mother, and then went forth with
true kingly dignity and grace to Glhon,
the placo 'appointed by the king for
the coronation.
'Who had thought, that Solomon
was a youth of such rare grace nnd
beauty?" exclaimed the people as
they followed the royal procession.
'God save King Solomon!" The
words of the high priest Zndok sounded
out clear and distinct, the trumpet
blew and the people took up the shout
of "God save King Solomon!"

One thing certain you can not
chew gum and think at tho same
time with any degree of success. You
may chew gum and work mechanical-

right down to good hard mental effort
you can not concentrate and achieve

An Immense Field.
What is the population of China?
The old official census of 1812 placed
it at 360,000,000. A late statement
based upon partial returns put it at
382,000,000; but it is often quoted in
round numbers at 400,000,000. The
majority of these are non-Christian
and yet need a Saviour. Who will go
for us?

suburb, says the Kansas City Star.

When they como hero thoy will find
an assortment of treasures, for Mrs.
Jane Chutton, the dead woman, ap
pears to have had peculiar tastes. Al
though successfully posing as the
poorest of the poor, living in a dilapi
dated old house, with a dog for hei
solo companion, her death revealed the
fact that she had stowed away In u
back room $8,000 in bank notes, $4,600
In government bonds, diamond rings,
brooches, bracelets and other jewelry
worth about $15,000 and a great store
of valuable silks, rare Indian nnd
Paisley shawls.
The hovel in which she was found
dead had been her home for many
years. A neighbor brought her food
and old friends visited her now and
then. A love romance In the back
ground may huve had something to do
with her solitary life. In 1851 she mar
ried John Chutton, a butler who had
passed himself off us a man of means
and whom she found "too inquisitive
about her affairs." This was tho only
reason she ever gave for leaving him
at the church door tho day of their
marriage and for never seeing him
again. She seldom left her house and
her visitors were few and far be
tween.
For several days her neighbor, one
Elizaboth Camp, had knocked on her
door and was unable to get any re
ply. So she summoned the police, who
forced an entrance. They found Mrs.
Chutton lying dead on the bed. A
search of the house was made. In one
room were hundreds of yards of silk
worth $2.50 a yard, rare shawls and
wraps. There were boxes full of beau
tiful old-fashioned clothing, and many
costly ornaments lay scattered in the
'dirt. Packed away in an old trunk was
a stocking containing the $8,000 in
bank notes and $4,500 in government
bonds. A tin box revealed a heap ot
diamond rings, brooches, bracelets,
gold watches and precious stones.
The only food in the house was a
small piece of bread. The coroner
said that ho had once attended her,
but had not charged anything be
cause he thought she was a poor
woman. The police have taken posses
sion of the dilapidated house and all
its precious contents, and they are
waiting for tho American relatives to
reveal their whereabouts.
Carpet of Ivory.
The carpet, at a distance, seemed
f cream-colored silk, but as the In
dian merchant unrolled it, it rattled
slightly, for it was a carpet of ivory.
"An ivory carpet," said tho sallow
und thin dealer. "It does not belong to
me, but. to a certain rajah. He has
commissioned mo to sell it to one of
your millionaires, whose wealth and
liberality are world-renowned."
The carpet, though very heavy, was
quite flexible. It. glistened like satin.
It was eight feet long und six feet
wide.
"Over 6,000 pounds of tusks were re
quired for this carpet," said the In
dian. "Only the finest parts could
be used. The strips were shaven
slngulutiy thin. See how flexible they
are.
"But three such carpets exist, and
they all belong to India. The largest
and best is in the treasury of tho
Maharajah of Boroda."
Heat Tests of Clothing.
An interesting experiment, made in
June by u physician, proved conclu
sively that for the sake of coolness
only white should be worn In hot
weather.
The physician spread out in an in
tense sunshine a largo piece of whlta
cloth, another of dark yellow, another
of light green, another of dnrk green,
another of blue and another of black.
Then, with the help of six thermom
eters, he mnde tho following table ot
the various boats which eacli color re
ceived from the sunlight: White, 100
degrees; dark yellow, 140 degrees;
light green, 155 degrees; dnrk green,
168 degrees; blue, 198 degrees; black,
208 degrees.
Thus the physician proved that In
July or August the man in white is a
llttlo less than twice as cool ns the
mun In blue und a little more than
twice as cool as the man In black.
