One -*ark alght some tilde ago. a party named Rastus was walking down the railroad track when his w^rtcWul eye beheld a car loaded with eoal standing 0% a siding near his home. Beautiful «ml! Midnight! Not a soul insight. -,f . . y Soon he had a wheelbarrow and many trips were made from the coal car to his home. Finally the small cellar was filled to his satisfaction, and after covering up the tracks Ilastns slept the sleep of .the Just. The next morning he curelessly rfonbled oyer toward the siding. •> "Say, Rastus," asked a road tor, who was standing on the carT "i you hear any suspicious noises here last night?

Of course he .can't control the price, but he can regulate the quantity. So when sugnr, for Example., tikes a Jump of ten per cent, he marks dowp the amount to be used In Just the snhie proportloh, and so keeps even tvlth fhe game. You might suppose that?'the family would be:on scant rations bjr this time, but Eben says not. Accord' lng to his ^ell, not one of 'em has l<?st| weight, and they never were healthier or happier.

It may be remembered that this cap fu discovered in 1010 by Arabs excavating in the rains of an early Christian church, where it had been buried since probably the fourth century, A, D. It consists of two distinct parts, an Inner silver cjup of crude workmanship, resembling the common drinking' cups of the time of the Roman emperors Augustus ahd Tiberius, and an outer shell also of silver of exquisite design and workmanship of the first century.
