A successful Doinestic Search.

Mr.. H. afionted his wife, who, to pun
ish him, resolved to act dumb whenever
he was present; and go we'll did she MAIN
tain her resolution, that nearly weekpass-
ed away, during which not word did she
utter IN his presence. She performed her
household duties as usual ; but speak she
would not. He tried to coax her out OF her
wbim: but in vain. At last he tried the
following plan to overcome her resolution,
by working on her curiosity-the most un-
governable of female propensities. Return
ing, one evening, from his employment, his
lady sat there as usual, mute. He lmme-
diately commenced vigorous search
throughout the room. The closet was ex-
amined, the bedroom, the drawers, boxes,
shelves - everything that could posi-
bly be thought Of was overhauled.
His wife was struck with establishment
at his unaccountable behaviour and so he
proceeds In his search. She became very
nervcusly anxious to find out what ne was
looking for. What could it be She look
ed in his face, to CLEAN, if possible, from
his expression, the object of his search;
hut no 90; he was sober as a judge. He
lifted the edge of the carpet, looked under
the table cover, and finally, approaching
her chair, looked under it, and even going
so far as to brush her dress partially aside,
as # what he sought might be hid there
She could stand it no longer. She burst
out, "Bob, what are you looking for ''-
He smiled, and answered, "Your tongue,
and I've found it,"

Arab Strategy, and AfHb Noble
iifindedneSs:

In the tribe Of Neggdeh, there was d.
horse, whose fame was spread far and near,
and Bedouirf Of another TRIBE, by name
Dahet, desired extremely 70 possess IT.
Having offered in VAIN forh his eameIs and
his whole wealth, he hit at length upon the
following device, by which he hoped TO
gain the objec! Of hfs desire. He resolved
to stain his face with the Juice Of an herb.
to clothe himself in rags; to tie hrs legs and
neck together, so as to appear like lame
beggar. Thus equipped, he went TO wait
for Naber, the owner Of the horse, who he
knew was to pass that way. When he saw
Naber approaching on his beautiful steed, he
cried Out IN 4 weak voice, 81 am poor
stranger for three days have been una'
BILE 10 move from this spot to seek for food.
I am dying, help me. and heaven Will re-
ward you." The Bedodin kindly offered TO
take him up on his horse and carry him
home; but the rogue replied, q cannot
rise; l have no strength left" Naber
touched with pity ,dismoanted, led his horse
10 the spot, and with great difficulty, set
the seeming beggat on his back. But no
sooner did Daher feel himself in the sad
die, than he set spurs TO the horse, and gal
Topped of, calling out as he did 50, at is
I, :Daher. have got the horse, and am off
with it." Nabet called after him TO stop
and listen. Certain of not being p'fsued,
he turned, and halted at short distance
from Nabet, who was armed with spear.
"You have taken my horse," said the lat
ter. "Since heaven has wiled it, ! wish
you Joy of it; but do conjure you never
to tell any one how you obtained IT,
"And why not :" said Dahef. "Betause,"
said the noble Arab, "ahother man might
be really i'll, and men would fear to help
him. You would be the cause of many re-
fusing to perform an act of charity, for fear
of being duped as have BEEN" Struck
with shame at these words, Daher was ST.
lent for moment, then sprihging from the
horse, returned it to its owner, embracing
him. Naber made him accompany him to
his tent where they spent few days to-
gether, and became fast friends for life

JUVENILE -CRrMiNALs.--The youngest
person ever executed for crime was, we be-
iieve, a boy named Dean, who, in 1929.
was hung at Windsor, England for arson.
In 1928, lad by the name OF James Guild,
aged twelve years and five months, was
hung in New Jersey for the murder of Cath
arine Beakes. The doctrine, as laid dowo
by the best authorities, is, that. as regards
prisoners under the age Of fourteen, the pre-
sumption of law will be that the infant could
not discern between right and wrong but
this presumption is removed If, from the
circumstances, it appears that the accused
showed, by any acts, consciousness OF
wrong. The criminal liability OF infants
was we'll discussed IN case which arose
in this city in 1921, where boy of eight
wears was indicted for larceny Of lady's
dressing-box and jewelry. The owner de-
tected the boy going out OF the house with
the box under his arm; she seized him, and
he tried to bite her and retain the box by
force he then began to cry, and sand an
other boy told him to take away the box.
No other evidence of capacity was offered.
The jury were told that they must be sat
isied that he had capacity of knowing
good from evil; that this might be proved
by extrinsic testimony Or it might arse
from the circumstances of the case. Ihe
concealmeEt andattempt to escape were
regarded by the jury as sufficient evidence
of guilty knowledge, and the prisoner was
thereupon convicted.-.fsD York Sunday

Zone of the most affecting sights have
witnessed during my travels, was encoun-
tered Yesterday P. M. repaired to the
appointed spot to hear the lamentations Of
the Jews over their desolated temple and
scattered nation. The site of the ancient
temple is now occupied by the Mosque Of
Omar. No Christian or Jew is allowed by
the Mussulmen to enter its precincts. The
nearest approach that the Jews can make to
it, is to the large and massive stones OF the
wall which Solomon built from the bottom
of the narrow valley or ravine, called the
Tyropean, for the purpose Of sustaining and
forming the terrace or arches which were
built out from the base of the rock on its
four sides, and on which the temple on
Mount Moriah was originally constructed
II saw thirty-fve Jews, standing or seat
ed, near these stones, all of them bowling,
and restlessly swinging to and fro, while
they read their Scriptures in the Hebrew,
and some weeping bitterly as they uttered
their wall of distress.
lone man sobbed as if his heart was
ready to break, while he stood reading and
trembling with emotion in his whole frame.
Women, with white scarfs thrown over their
heads, passed mournfully along the wall /;
some kissed the stones with their lips, 9TH
ers laid their hands on them, and then KISS
ed their hands, whilst most sat in squat
ted or Turk-like position reading parts of a
lturgy..in Hebrew. 1 ventured, with cour-
teous salutation, to look upon the page from

The AiIantus Tree.

This tree would be general favorte
were it not for he dlsagreeable, and to some
persons sickening efiluvium proceeding from
it whilst in flower. The editor of the N.
Y. Commercial states that 1t is only the
male variety of the tree which is open to
this ground of complaint. He says
"The greater part Of the ailantus trees
planted in our streets, s,appear to be OF those
which bear only staminate lowers-some-
times called the male plant. The a1antus
is dieoieus tree-that is to say, the flow
7ers which contain the fertilizing principle
are on different trees, from those which
bear the seed vessels. The trees which
bear the stamiuate flowers are easily dis
tinguished by their little green star-lke
blossoms, such as lay strewn upon the side
walks in such abundance this morning. 1t
is these only that dlffuse the odor which
many find SO disagreeable and even un-
wholesome. The plants bearing the .pisti-
late flowers have no perceptible odor, and
may be known by their bunches of seed
vessels resembling what are called maple
kegs. AT this season, the kegs are small
and of green color, but perfectly formed ;
in short time they will be of a reddish
hue.
ut is only ailantus-trees bearing the pis.
tillate flowers, that should be planted in
our streets. As the roots of the ailantus
throw up suckers with all extraordinary
profusion, it is most easily and naturally
propagated by transplanting the suckers
Those which are taken from the roots of a
tree bearing pistillate flowers, will in like
manner bear pistillate flowers only, and in
this manner the gardeners will be able to
furnish, with the greatest facility, supply
Of the kind desired. The allanlus is so rap
id in its growth, and SO perfectly free from
insects, that it is one of the very best fol
planting in large towns, and We should be
sorry to see any attempt to extrpate it.
If, however, the ordering Of the matter de.
pended upon us, we would have the male
plants cut down without remorse, and then
place supplied with those which bear pris,
tillate flowers
