The History of a Block of Marble That Formed a Part of the Tcuiple Inclosnro at Jerusalem at tlio Time of Christ's Birth Copies for Colleges. Among the most valuable and interest ing of recent additions to the University museum is the cast of a Greek inscrip tion, discovered at Jerusalem some years ago. The University of Pennsylvania ob tained possession of this cast, in connec tion with its Babylonian expedition, through the efforts of the Hon. O. S. Strauss, formerly United State3 minister at Constantinople. The University of Rochester made an attempt to secure a cast of this inscription, and, by interest ing ex-Secretary Bayard, permission was obtained from the Imperial museum at Constantinople to have a cast of the original inscription made and forwarded. The cast, however, arrived in such a broken condition that it was practically worthless. Since then Professor Millington, of Roberts college, at Constantinople, and ex-Minister Strauss have secured two ad ditional casts for this country, one hav ing gone to the Universiiy of Rochester and the other to the University of Penn sylvania. The copy belonging to the University of Pennsylvania was badly broken in the transportation, but has been sufficiently mended to have new casts made. Harvard and Yale, as well as the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Mt. Airy, and the Protestant Episco pal Divinity school, have applied for fac faimiles of this cast for their libraries. HISTORY OF THE INSCRIPTION. An interesting story is connected with the discovery of this inscription. On the 26th of May, 1871. the French explorer, Clermont-Ganneau, who spent many years in Jerusalem, and to whom the Louvre in Paris owes a number of its best specimens, was examining the par tially ruinous walls of the old Moham medan school in Jerusalem, near the Via Dolorosa, about 150 feet north of tho Haram wall. The Frenchman, with the searching curiosity of an atchieologist, ( seme thermometer from zero to 80 be was scrutinizing every stone that showed ! low is a novel and interesting sight to evidence of having been cut or chiseled by human hands. While he was thus en gaged he noticed on a large block of stone, piojecting a few inches above the ground, several Greek letters. Early Greek inscriptions in Jeriibalem are ex ceedingly rare, and, accordingh, he as sured himself that no Mohammedan was watching him, and then proceeded to lay bare part of the fetone. To excite no suspicion he did not re main very long, and before leaving filled in tho earth about tho stone as it had been before. The next day he returned i with the proper implements, uncovered tho stone and found that it was a block of marble, with an area of 3 by 2 feet, j c.i-efully chiseled and showing seven lines of a well preserved Gieek inscrip tion. The interpretation presented no I difficulty, as tho characters were largo ' and legible. The inscription read as fol lows: "No Gentile is to enter within the inclosure of the temple. Whosoever dis obevs this rule will incur tho penalty of death." Ganneau immediately concluded that this stone must formerly have belonged to the Temple of Herod, and a few years before the birth of Christ was part of a all that formed an inclosure about tho sacred fane of the Jew a. Josephus re lates that on the southern and eastern hides of the Temple, parallel to the por ticoes erected by Solomon and by Ilerod, there was a wall several feet high, in hich, at certain intervals, there were Greek and Latin inscriptions, forbidding Gentiles to enter the court of. the Tem ple. The workmanship and the size of the stone discovered by Ganneau coi re spond precisely with tho description given by Josephus, and the peremptory style of the inscription leave little room to doubt that tho stone actually formed part of tho wall surrounding the Temple. AN INTHRHSTINO ILLUSTRATION. The prohibition inscribed on this piece of marble thousands of years ago forms an interesting commentary to the story related in the twenty-tirst chapter of tho Acts of the Apostles, where it is said that I the Jews of Asia stirred up all the people against Paul because ho "brought Greeks alto into tho temple and hath polluted tins holy place. (For they had been be fore with him in the city Trophimus. an Ephosian, whom they supposed that iiul had brought into tho temple.) And all tho city was moved, and the people r m together: and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple: and forth uiih the doors were shut." The wrath of the Jews is much more clearly understood and seems quite natu ral when we see by this inscription how jealously they guarded the entrance into tuoir temple, ami what a severe penalty ttifv inflicted upon Gentiles for entering cv'u the outer court or inclosure. Reference is made to the same feature In the second chapter of the Epistle to tho k Priceless Blessin 5J j AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL Ti is the be:t remedy for Croup, "Whooping Cough, Hoaroius-, and all tho smitten Throat and Lung Troubles to winch young people are subject.

Pnec $1 ; els tet:Je, $5, Ephesians, where Paul says that "Christ is our peace, "who hath made both (Gentiles and Jews) one, and hath bro ken down the middle wall of partition." It was natural that the discovery of this interesting stone could not be kept secret, and accordingly Ganneau made it known in a letter to The Athenaeum, and wrote a monograph on tho meaning and historical value of the inscription. But when an attempt was made to 6ecure the 6tone for the Louvre, at Paris, the pos sessor of the school house where it was found, under the impression, which is very prevalent in the east, that every archaeological object is worth an im mense sum of money,, demanded $10,000. When the Turkish governor of Jerusalem heard of the discovc y of the stone he had it dug up and brought to his palace, when he himself offered it for sale at 10,000. But there was no buyer. Suddenly the stone disappeared and no trace of it could be found anywhere. When, thir teen years after this, Dr. Mordtmann. of Constantinople, a well known Semitio scholar, was one day examining the treasures in the Turkish museum, Tshi nili Kiosk, in Constantinople, he discov ered the lost stone, and published hi3 discovery in the journal of the German "Palestini society"' (1884). The original stone is still kept in this museum, which is under the direction of the Turkish ar chaeologist, Hamdi Bey, who became known several years ago by his exten sive excavations of sarcophagi at Siden. The cast which the university has ob tained is in every particular a faithful fac-simile of the original. Philadelphia .Ledger, Devil's "CaVe. Devil's lake is a body of brackish water of uncertain size, according to the weather, but covering about 200 square miles on an average, and having an outlet by a marshy stream to the Cheyenne river, only in wet seasons. Though tho water is too saline for a stranger to drink it, yet it abounded with fish in its natural state; and even now, in the dead of winter, one may see groups of wiry old squaws here and there on the ice (four feet thick at the least!) "working the dip seine'' and bringing out at each haul two or three pickerel, which are thrown on the ice to freeze solid in a few minutes, after which they are handled like stones or billets of wood. To see the poor old creatures kneeling on the margin of the holes they have cut through the ice, and with one arm, bare nearly to the shoulder, thrust under the edge of the ice to spread tho tho tourist; that is, if he is well wrapped in a fur coat and has thick moccasins or "German socks' over his heavy boots. The lake in one place is almost cut in two by a sort of peninsula, with a spoon shaped extremity running out into the lake; and there the Indians in the "good old times"' used to make their great buf falo drive. Stampeded by mounted men, from a large section adjacent the animals fled to the lake and were gradually con centrated on this peninsula; tho hunters then advanced by boat or along the land and shot them down at leisure. At length the white man broke in; the great Turtle mountain buffalo raids began; for seventy miles in a line theprp1 tho next summer was a Golgotha i.ened with buffalo skeletons and old settlers still tell of the "big money" made by gathering their bones. In five short years every buffalo was gone, and the Indians had to starve, fight or emigrate. They fought and were whipped; part I emigrated and the rest are starving. J. H. B. . An Honest Car Conductor. A prominent citizen of Union Hill boarded a street car in Hoboken and handed Conductor Spencer a coin. Spen cer felt the milled edges, and, thinking it was a fifty cent piece, he put it in his pocket without examining it and re turned forty-five cents change, which the other man quickly put in his pocket. A few minutes later the conductor was making change inside the car and dis covered that the supposed fifty cent pieco was a $10 gold piece. He put it back in his pocket and asked the Union Hill man tho denomination of the coin ho had given him. "It was a quarter,"' the Union Hill man said. "I gavo you twenty cents more than you aro entitled to," Spencer lemarked, quietly. The Union Hill man laughed, but did not offer to return the change. "I'm satisfied if you are," said Spencer. Nothing more was said until the car reached tho top of the hill at Weehawken and the man had shown no sign of re turning the twenty cents. Then Spencer baid: "If you keep my change I'll keep what you gave me and call it square.' Tho Union Hill man put his hand in his pocket and exclaimed: "By Jove! I gave you a $10 gold piece." "You did," replied Spencer, "and you intended to swindle me out of twenty cents. Here's your $10, but you don't deserve to get it back." The prominent citizen pocketed tho money and got off the car at the next corner. New York Sun. A Unique wpnper. ' Lying on the desk of Mr. V. B. Som erville, in his cozy office in the big "West ern Union building, a reporter espied a very strange newspaper. At first it looked like a large piece of foolscap closely written, but upon closer exami nation it proved to be a real live news paper written by hand. This unique newspaper is published at Prince Albert, a small hamlet in the center of the Cana dian northwest territory, and is called The Prince Albert Critic. Its size is four pages, four columns to the page. The paper has a circulation of several hundred copies and is a specimen of what can be done by an enterprising journalist without a font of tyjw. The mode of issuing it is rather peculiar. The matter, instead of being set in type, is written in ink with an electric pen on ! prepared paper, the rest of the istue be ing imprints ot the original sheet. The paper is newsy for its size, contains quite a number of advertisements and is tho official paper of the hnmlet. New York World. Paint from I'otntot.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF FARMERS AND STOCK BREEDERS. edicts About Feeding Swine of Interest to Those Enjjaged in Practical Pork Pro ducing Illustrated Plnns of Pie; Troughs That Are Worthy of Consideration. Most farmers think that any kind of a trough is good enough for a hog to drink from. Be that , as it may, every body knows that as soon as any liquid is turned in the trough all the hogs in the inclosure crowd about the spout to obtain the first taste, the weaker ones being obliged to wait until the bottom Floor of pzh fiLLVf n rr TL SILL FIG. 1 PIG TROUGH, of the trough is flooded ere they can quench their thirst or appease their hun ger. All this crowding and unequal feeding may be regulated, says a cor respondent In Rural New Yorker, by the simple appliance shown in Fig. 1. A trough, A, is located beside a fence or division in tho pen, a board, G, about a foot and a half wido is hinged to the portion at B. When feeding is to be done pull on the handle C when the position indicated by the dotted lines is assumed; you can then pour in the swill or coarser feed and distribute it evenly in the trough. The handle C is released and the occu pants simultaneously commence eating. The plan shown of Fig. 2 is intended to prevent crowding. The top of the trough is divided in separate apartments by cleats, as shown. They should be made of hard wood with rounded edges and firmly nailed not more than one foot apart. The plan shown at Fig. 1, while more expensive, is weii worth the extra outlay. The following summary of results as obtained by Professor Hunt, of the Illi nois College farm, in his experiments, can hardly fail to be of interest: It required 13.89 pounds of skim milk to produce one pound of pork when fed with corn meal, ratio 1 1-7 to fattening hogs. It required on an average 4$ pounds of shelled corn to produce a pound of pork during an average period of four weeks, or one bushel produced 13 pounds. It required 4$ pounds of corn meal to produce one pound of pork, or one bushel of corn made into meal and fed will pro duce 12 pounds of pork. FIG. 2 PIG TROUGHS. When fed dry, shelled corn is more economical than corn meal to feed fat tening hogs. It required 7-J- pounds, or one-fourth bushel, of ground oats to produce ono pound of pork, when fed with equal parte by weight of corn meal, One bushel "of corn is worth nearly three bushels of oats as food for fatten ing hogs. Corn fed pigs gained 4 pounds per week, and ate about 21 pounds of corn pei 100 pounds of live weight. Indian corn is the most economical pork producing material during the win ter months in regions whore extensively grown. A Plea for Cross Bred Poultry. A New Jersey poulterer makes a plea in American Agriculturist for market poultry obtained bv proper crossing. I He says: For market the desired points I are an increased production of eggs and improvement for the table. These are I tho legitimate grounds which justify i cross breeding. In crosses e combine quality with size, as, for example, Hou dan on Cochin or Brahma, or Cochin on Dorking. The latter cross is after tho English fashion. They take a good 2-year-old Cochin cock and mate with six good Dorking hens of a year old. The pullets of the cross aro next season mated with game, and their produce is then marketed. Thus they gain size from the Cochin, and quality from tho Dorking. By the game cross very little in size is sacrificed, while another first rate cros. in point of quality, is added. An Englishman, referring to this cross, once said: "The flesh is white as snow, and as savory as any aldermanic gour mand could desire." It must be under stood, however, that nothing is gained by mating the progeny. Cross bred birds should never be mated together. When we make the cross w e have tho ideal of our experiment; beyond that there is a downward tendency. We do not believe any great success can be ob tained in mating for increased egg pro duction. That is, no cross can be se cured that will give a higher egg record i than that which some of our noted strains now have. It is principally for an improvement of table quality that we recommend interbreeding. IN THE SPARE CHAMBER. A. 3IIn!tr' Experience Trith Tr at 3tld oight In u Country Uoaw I was put to sleep in the spare room, or guet chamber, of a country parson age, where the local minister's thrifty spouse had stored her beehives for the winter, choosing it, doubtless, as a room where the temperature was aire to be equally chilly, and where nothing would i tentious screen that cut off one corner of the room, and they were forgotten by all the family when I was put in there to sleep. Provision Itad been made for warming the room, on those rare occa sions when such a thing was done at all, F 4 It f 71 v m Have you to greet tne visitor, and the result was that the bees thought spring time had come, and I was awakened from my sleep by a buzzing sound. "Gracious," said I to myself, "have all the horse flies in the country made this room their winter home and been thawed out by the heat?" I could hear them fly ing around, and presently a big fellow lit on my hand. I slapped at him and got a well defined, but not serious, sting for my reply. "Bees'." I shouted as loud as I could. '"Help! Help!"' Then I dived down among the covers, hid myself as well as I could and awaited develop ments. The good wife had heard my call for help and roused her husband. He got up and knocked at my door, calling to me if I wanted anything. "My answer from deep under the bedclothes sounded so mysterious that he promptly burst in the door, thinking that some one was strangling me. He had a candle in his hand, and the bees began to gather around the light Not thinking of what he was doing he brushed them away, and was instantly stung in about ten places at once. With a yell he dropped the candle and rushed into his wife's room shouting: "The bees! the bees are out and aro killing Brother M . I told you not to put them there, and now see what's happened!" He had left my door open, and the bees followed him into the hall, where his wife had already lighted a lamp. I tell you there was a lively time in that house for an hour or so, while I lay hid den among the blankets and enjoyed it all immensely. The only way out of the difficulty was to open every window and door in the house, and the cold rush of air in about an hour quieted tho bees, which were then nearly all easily gath ered up by the family. When, with many apologies, they came to see how great my injuries were, I emerged un hurt from my hiding place and laughed at them all iieartily. New York Trib une. MINING FOR A PYTHON. A Snake That Refused to Be Drawn from His Hole by a Koj and an Klcpliant. It was during the cold weather, when snakes are partially or wholly torpid, that this adventure happened; had itbeen in the hot weather, when snakes are lively, the story might have had a differ ent ending. Gen. ilacintyre. and his party went one day to examine a hole or crevice under a rock where it was supected a python lay hidden, and sure enough it was there, for they could see a bit of the tail end protruding from the hole. They let it alone at first, thinking that, when the sun bhone, it might come forth to bask in its warmth. In this, however, thev J were disappointed, for on the followin day the snake was not to be seen; but, on closer examination, the tail was found sticking out as before. Various efforts were made to dislodge it. A fire was lit in front and the smoke fanned inward, but this had no effect. The earth was even scraped away and the hole widened, when they could see the coils of the monster as thick as a man's thigh; but except that their 0eration3 were occasionally interrupt- ed bv the stanlinjr presence of the creature's head, which it occasion ally poked toward the entrance, darting out its little forked tongue, it gave small signs of animation. They had even determined to try to draw it. We all three, therefore, proceeded somewhat nervously, I must own to lay hold of its tail. To this familiarity it showed its objection by a decided incli nation to wag its caudal extremity, which had such an electrical effect on our nerves that we dropped it like a hot po tato, and what shall I call it? retired. A shot would in all piobability have in duced the snake to quit its refuge, but then the shot must have torn and dis figured its beautiful skin, which the gen eral wished to secure uninjured as a spec imen. In the meantime more efficient tools for digging had been Eent for, and these now arrived borne upon an elephant. ( A bright idea now struck the parry j thev might draw the snake out with tiie elephant! Sufficient rope for the purpose j was loosened from the elephant's pad, and this rope, about the thickness of a man s thumb, wa& hitched around the py thon'i tail, its remaining length bronght up again to the pad and fastened thTf, thus doubling its strength. Now came the tug of war! A sudden jerk might have torn the skin; the mahout was therefore warned to put on the strain gradually. Little did we know what a tough and obstinate customer we bad to deal with. Tighter and tighter grew the ropes, when 4crack'' went ooe of them. Still the strain was increased, when "crack the other had snapped ako, leaving the snake in statu quo. The snake was finally dislodged by counter mining and killed with a charge of buckshot. When measured it was found to be twenty-one feet in length and about two feet in girth. Chambers' Journal. Hon to 31ako Good Pal.

We glean the following from Poultry Yard: Artificial heat within the poultry house is of no account, ordinarily. Tho fuel consumed in a stove, for instance (a plan that is occasionally tried in the fowl house) costs more than all that can be gained by such an attempt to make your fowls comfortable. And, as a rule, if it be followed up day and night for any length of time, more lice will be bred upon the premises than you can well take care of. It is necessary, only, that your fou 1 house be tight in the roof and walls, and that the birds be kept out of the reach of rough winds and exces sive frosts. They will bear a great deal of dry cold weather, but should be so sheltered that snow, sleet and rain shall not trouble them. Give them fresh air daily. Close tip the building at night carefully. Allow them a range outside, when the weather will permit, and feed them more generously during the chilly season than you need to do in summer time, and they will get through the winter comfortably and remain in good health. Poultry Y.ird Xotc. The hen house, more especially where wooden iloors are in use, 13 not gener ally appreciated. Any kind of clean loam or clay soil will answer. Occa sionally a portion of this fresh earth may be thrown around the Iloors or scattered under the roosts. A compost heap may shortly be begun. "Mix tho droppings from the roosts where the fouls pass the night with some of this. Rake it away one or twice in a fortnight, and next spring you will have a rich mass of manure for your vegetable gar den, or top dressing for the grass or lawn around the house that cannot be excelled for its quality. It will cost you nothing but a little easy labor onco a week. The earth will help to keep your house atmobphere pure, says Poultry Yard, from which the foregoing is taken. Not Kasiljr satltO-U.
