The throne itself, which now
(frncea the audience hall of the Per-
sian aliahan ih*h, or “king of kings,”
is a magnificent work of art, sump-
tuous in the extreme. It is a jeweled
pint form, sometimes compared to a
j “field bed,” about four feet high
I and five by eight feet in area, rcst-
i ing on six massive legs, with four
[additional supports, and mounted by

It certainly is hard to bring up a

vexed Bermootlu-a” Shakespeare
meant to refer to the Bermudas, or

railed. The Bermudas were discov-
ered in 1512, 12 years before the
great poet was Wn. I/mg before
he wrote the “Tempest”—big last
production—the knowledge of the
delightful isles of the Western ocean
had had ample time in which to
spread over the old world.

MUSICAL OEM.
The story is told by a traveling
man of a pretty young lady who
itepped into a music store in Spring-'
fleld, .Mo., the other day. She:
(ripped up to the counter where the
new derk was assorting music, and
n the sweetest tones asked:
“Hsve you ‘Kissed Me in the
Moonlight P ”
The clerk turned half way around
ind answered:
“it must have lieen the msn at the
other counter. I’ve been here only
I week.”
SHEER’S LONG FAST.
While going his rounds on the
jrazing grounds on Bleusdale Fella,
Lancashire, England, one recent
morning, a farm bailiff noticed his
jlogs scratching vigorously, endeav-
j >ring to remove the remains of a
large snowdrift. The bailiff cleared
sway the snow and found a sheep
which had lawn missing nine days.
The animal must have been impriw-
>ned for that period, but excepting
fiat it tras ravenously hungry it was
ittle the worse for the exjv-riencc.
