Youth's Com luulon. Too aitirti "Solomon."

HoHlJHi On our tour, in nearly every church w hero o preached or worshiped which had a choir i f some, pretensions, wo heard tho piece, 'Consider tho Lilies," which hi song, liold and lllghty, told us five or six times that Solomon was "not urrajed." For tho llrst two or three times wo did not consider the gravity of the matter, but finally became a little restive over Solomon's con dition, w hen it wns related and emphasized in moderate tones, in tenderness mid lu hhtli sounding tones, in trills, in shrieks, thnt "Solomon was not m rayed;" mid what wns more embarrassing, the singers sometimes looked nnd bow-ej to us, as if wo wero to blame for It When we reached Hin Frnnelsco, wo thought, "this will end this Solomon busi ness.'' Wo supKsed that It wns n favorite In thu east because he had his bringing up there; but, to our amazement, wo heard it in three churches in Mm Occident as woll as orient, that "Solomon wns not arrayed.' In tho east (here was appropriateness in It, w hero nobody is much nrrayed. Hut when wo heard ngiilu In Saratoga, on different oc casions, that "Solomon was not arrayed," from four to six times right along, nnd In a mniiiur that could leave no doubt, mid when significant movements of tho head were mada at us, we felt that It was tlmothat something should lie done without fail.

Vuliinlilo Hi olis. 3omoof Mio best bargains thnt swell the pursoof n second huudliook seller co::io about by pure luck; at least, so It seems to i.ie, con sidering the time. I havo been hi the business. One iliy a man came into my hoo!;stnll and inquired for a certain book on thu entomology of Missouri. I did not hnvo It, mid learned that it wns published no more. Ho told mo to sou if 1 could find the book for him. I kept n "skinned eyu" on tho lookout for tho volume, but yet know lug It was uext to lm)ossiblo to II tul it. Purely by uccldent, though, 1 hapixmed to see the identical book w hllu I wns purchasing severul volumes hi a private library. I olTered fifty cents for tho book, nnd It was accepted, tho man saying that It was of no use anymore. Two days after, my customer who was Interested iu en tomology called, and ho couldn't get a (A bill out of his pocket quick enough to satisfy his hasto hi exchanging that for the book. There wero S l.fjO clean prollt made on n liook that will not lw called for onco In two years. Those who lu. crest themselves In bugs nro fow, but they seuin to pay good prices for their books. Uut this wasn't a skin game on my part, for tho book was actually worth C5 to our trade mid to tho man who makes a study of bugs. Another peculiar trait of those who buy second hand books was dis played by this entomologist. Ho had a book containing tho same text from tho nuthor, but from an edition which omitted ono pago on which several plates or pictures of bugs in their natural colors were represented. Hence, ho literally nld i!i to get that slnglo pago out of my book. Dealer In St. LouU Globo Democrat. Elcctrlo Alarm. There Is no end to things jwoplo w 111 try to contrive w lth tho aid of electricity. A queer looking little old fellow came Into my otllco last week with a liox thnt contained a scheme, ho oxclalnod, w hich, by attaching to a door, or drawer lock, would ring a bell which could bo placed anywhere chosen. This bell would keep on ringing, too, until some one on tho inside of the door would shut It olf, Hy a simple combination latch, the electricity can be shut oil' iu tho daytime. Hut most pecul iar Is It that the old man proposes a scheme by which ho can surround a window or other oiitrauco so that, by sensitized plate, If n per son jmsses through It tho boll will ring and keep on until stopped. This, too, can bo shut olT at tho will of tho occupants. It seems feasible, mid if ho succeeds will yield an ef fective and cheap security against burglars.
