Barns are not required in Syria--no hay
ever being cut or in demand-cattle, goats
sheep, &c. having excellent feed the year
round Horses are far better managed in
Syria than in England or the United States,
are more spirited, and endure the seyerest
kind of fatigue better than in any part of
Europe or our own best os countries. The
system of feeding, which is uniform thro'-
out the East, is to give them fine dry straw,

The Infants Appeal.
HRIeF BUT THRILLING SKETCH

In the year 1896, the inhabitants living
in district bordering on Rock river, IN the
northern part of the State of Illinois, were
much incensed by the depredations of d
band of horse thieves who infested that por'
ton of country. Every exerllon had been
made to discover the men engaged IN TINS
nelarlous business, but hitherto, IN VAN
aud valuable animals were stolen and los
to their owners, in spite Of the utmost vigil
ance and care.
During such a state Of affairs, the citiz
ems residing in the region of the robbers
became thoroughly excited. aud wer
wound to such pitch of indignation, tina
a body of men we're formally styled Rang
ers, whose explicit duty it was to expung
the district OF all suspicious characters, an

The midnight silence of the village is bro

comes galloping, along at the top of his
speed, his rider crying aloud, " F,re-Fre !

as unconsciously as the corn IN the helds

the alert-eyery one anxious 10 win the re-

is opened-the men come running out Of
doors, with their coats half drawn on, or IN
their shirt sleeves. The villagers all collect
about the market-house, aud the cry is heard
on all sides, Where is IL Where is the

while every now aud then a shower o
sparks rose into the air, as if shot out from

The night was still and calm, and tn
stars shone peacefully on the silent earth.
The horses are speedily put to the fire

TnE END or FAME.-A colored gentle.
man Of such gigantic proportions, that he ,
was commonly caled Goliath, died from too
great an indulgence IN ardent spirits Upon
which Jonas, after the manner of Plutarch,
drew the following comparison between him
aud Goliath of old
Both were great men. Goliath of old
might have been the tallest, bat our modern
Goliath was always high enough
One was gentleman OF choler; the 9TH
er was gentleman OF color.
Both we're killed by means of sings
Old Goliath by Dayld's sling young Goliath
by gin sling. The former article was
used TO throw stones at Goliath, the latter
frequently threw Goliath Oh the stones.
A Celestial iVoman.-There is a
law in China by which the women of the
Central Flowery Nation are prohibited
from settling in other countries. In
course of the thriving trade which John
Chlnaman has been driving with the Ca
/ lilornans, a woman came over with a
party, and forming some agreeable ac-
quaintances, refused TO return. The
natives who brought her over were afraid
to return without her and were thus for
ced TO become residents. We see it
stated in California paper that Nor
man Assng, and Others of her country
men, endeavored by threats to force her
to leave the country and society of the
outside barbarians' Having imhibed
something of Yankee Independence,
she refused TO be inundated, aud went
! TO Recorder Tillord, who gave very
, pleasant exempllhcation of American
justice, by binding over her tormentors
in the SUN of $4,000 to keep the peace
towards her.
