There Is apparently no record of tho fate of the first two klnjw they were nrobnbly translated. Hut from the year 1285 II. C. to tha Christian era out of 100 klnjrs fifteen died of malignant dlstenw or plaifua and tho rest were lther litlled in battle or died other violent deaths. From the Christian era to tha reign of Henry II. of England the record Is not more promising. There were ap parently seventy-eight klngsj of tlieso thirteen died natural deaths, that la to ay that they presumably did not live long enough to enable them to share tha fate of their predecessors and suc MiKors; one was drowned In ft fogj one had thirty sons, in Itself enough to cause death', one was choked by ft fish bone; three were killed by "thun derbolts," but OB the three reigned successively It la not unreasonable to suppose that the thunderbolts" were but "rocks," "hefted" by the hands of spirants to tho throne; .the remaining flfty-nlne succumbed to the inevitable assassination or death la the battle' field. Happy Ireland! Another Four Hundred. It is generally thought that tho saying, that the only people In New York worth knowing can be numbered by 400, was originated by Ward Mo Alllster. but It can be found In tho bible, Acts v, 30, which speaks of Thuudfta boasting himself to be some body, to whom a number of men, about 400, joined themselves, who were scattered and brought to naught. Tha verse referred to reads as follows: "For before these days rose up Then das, boasting himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about 400, joined themselves; who were slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were seat- I tered and brought to naught." An I other verso worth mentioning In this I n.inj.nllnn la fr.nil 1 ftlltmlld. 2'J.2: mi. ,,,: v.. m ... -. - -- "And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and 4rTry one that was discontented, gath ered themselves unto him, and ho be came ft captain over them, and thert vers with him about 400 men."

Lemons, grapes and tomatoes aro moot valuable from a medicinal point f view, and If tho uses of such fruits .nd their Juices were persevered in there is every reason to believe that not only cancer, but many other diseases of a similar nature with which tho skill of the surgeon and physician are unable to cope, might be actually I eurad. or so much alleviated as scarcely to shorten life. twt fiArt tat , j ! , ! !

A man met with a sextant the other day, going on a surveying expedition, says a writer. , , "Where are you going?" I askod. "Just a piece out to tun some Hnoa." "Fine instrument." "Yes; but It lost me my Bret love." "How so?" "Well, I was taking a Bight on ft hillside, on which was ft blackberry patch. Just as I got tho bearing on my point of observation, one of tho moat beautiful girls, I ever laid eyes on white frock, jaunty bonnet, all except the wings oamo within range." Well?" "I turned pale around my heart, lost my bearings, and became totally en grossed In the contemplation of her figure" "What else?" "She stooped, not to conquer, but to pluck a blackberry. She turned her face toward me unconsciously, curved her Hps, and if a volcano had suddenly yawned its jaws I would not havo bnen so astounded. Hhe dropped ft blackberry, apparently as big as a young pig, Into that ruddy cavorn(you 'see that I forgot I was looking through B sextant), and then I wished that I was dead "That was the end of love's young dream with me, aud I have remained A bachelor ever since. FOROOT HE HAD HIM. Ab!nt-Mlndedni of a I'hrilolan Who Bought a Hon. Ono of tho most absent-minded men in New York is an eminent surgeon. He is a great lover of horses, and will abandon anything but a patient to take drive up tho road. One of his most peculiar characteristics Is his Inability to pass an auction-room without buy ing something. Happening ono day to drive by a stable where an auction sale was going on, he saw a raw-boned animal under the hammer. "Whats bid?" ho asked of ft bystander, who replied: "Nothing; no body wants the brute at any price." At the next call from the auc tioneer he bid rw, and the norse was knocked down to him. He drove ou, and the Incident passed out of his mind. Ho forgot all about the purchase, but the animal was sent to his stablo and the groom took him In charge. About two months afterward his favorite horse fell lame and he com plained that he had nothing to drive. "Why not give the now norse a trial" asked the groom. "What new horse?" be sold. "I havo no new horao." Tho groom replied: "Iho ono you bought two months ago, sir. He hasn't had a bridle on slnoe he came to the stable." 1 he sur geon could not recollect having bought the animal, but he concluded to gtvo him a trial. It proved satisfactory in every way, and for eight years that horse has been the old gentleman sdo light. The Fopa's Contribution. Tho pope has sent to Chicago not only the two maps from the llorgla museum (that of Uiego IUblera, A.

Grsea at An elderly man of sedate and aldo- whlskered appearance sat down vio lently on tho sidewalk near the corner of (State and Madison streets, I inengo, to tho serious damage of an Irreproach able suit of black and a shiny silk hat. As he rose slowly to his feet, picked ii n Ms demoralized hat and looked about him. his face purple witli wrath his lips firmly compressed, the veins In his nock swollen, his features working as if In an epileptic fit, and his fingers opening and closing as though moved by an uncontrollable Impulse to clutch something or somebody, a young man who was hurrying along slipped and fell at the same place on the sidewalk where the gray-haired and sedate old party had come to grief. "lilankety-blank tho dad-blngex!, bllly-be-dad-busted slippery old coal covers to stagnation and back agalnl" he vociferated, picking himself up. "Young man," exclaimed tho elderly victim, grasping him fervently by tho hand, "1 thank youl You have saved my llfel" ' ' The Hot Water Itcmadf. Are you a busy, worried woman, who comes home at night with temples throbbing and every muscle aching from fatigue? If so, you often say to yourself: "I am dead tired, and I haven t the ambition to dress or 'even comb my hair for the evening." Then vou louniro about and go to boa aoout 9 o'clock with your head still aehtngH'is dupes be marks, and with a ruthless and your limbs just as tired as when you came In. The next time you feel that way, Just slip ore tne warns oi your gown, nrusn your nair up onw the top of your head and bathe tho back of your neck with hot water. When the pain Is a little relieved, wash your face with the same reviver, and' by the time that Is done you will feel like brushing your hair and fixing up a bit, or we are very much mistaken. Tho hot water cure is quite as qKIqw clous taTen externally as Internally. We Haw Modjoakit by Chance. . It was purely by chance that Amer ica ever saw Helena Modjeska on the stage. Her doctor advised a sea voy age for her health, and It was decided that tho family should visit the cen tennial. They did ao, and In 1877 went to California, where lloz.enta wished to found a Polish Catholic com munity. The effort failed, despite Mme. Modjnska'a hard work, she cook ing, scrubbing, milking cows and making butter; and, I5oenta's money being gone, they said: "What are we to do?" But one rcsourco remained Helena's acting. Hut she could not speak English! Oh, welll she must learn. And she did. Six months from the day of her resolution she played "Adrlenne Ijocouvreur" in San Fran cisco and triumphed. An energetic impressario saw her, brought her East and her position was assured. Th Sedan C'lmlr. The sedan chair is named after Se dan, the town where It was first used. The earliest mention of It In England occurs In 1581. Early In the following century the duke of Buckingham caused much Indignation by its use in London. People were exasperated at that nobleman employing his fellow men to take the place of horses to carry htm. rrince naries Drougnt from Spain, in 1023, three curiously wrought sedans, two of which he gave to the duke of Buckingham A few weeks after their Introduction Mas lnger produced his play. "The Bond man," and in it he thus adverts to the ladies: For tholr pomp and care being borne In triumph on mon's shoulders. The reference is doubtless to Bucking ham's sedan, which was borne like t palanquin. Romeo, Dog. "Eomeo, ' the dog which made famous reputation In connection with the Johnstown flood, died the other day. The animal waa noticed exten sively by the newspapers for his work aa a rescuer In the disaster, particular ly for saving the life of Mrs. Kress, the wife of his master, bhe was washed off a roof on which the mem bers of the family were afloat, and would certainly have drowned had not the dog swam to her aid, and seizing her skirt in his teeth, regained the raft after a desperate struggle. For some time past the dog has been blicd and he had been cared for as tenderly aa though he were human. SHOES I Mttt iS (Mitt 4 la ,H.'.l, I ' t S2.00.
