afterwards said that on the occasion of
great dinner in London he had SO exqris-
itely sold lin Arabic gaShSh-edl all the
! club, by having these "bologna saus-
ages " brought on with the dessert, that
he considered his tour of the East amply
repaid by the discovery of the date-saus-
ages.
Yusef, before taking his leave, modest
ly presented beautiful crystal gilt flask
to the Englishman, and desired him to
see if the perfume pleased him. The
traveller, who was q man for every thing,
carefully uncorked, or rather unstopped
the flask, and, placing it to his nostrils,
a gentle sigh escaped him, and as his
eyes rolled towards the skies, he ex-

sit is wonderful. Lubin and Rimmel
have nothing like it. What do you want
for the recipe?"
Reward me as you see fit" said
Yusef the Idle "lo, am not business
man, and trust to your honor" The Eng
glishman, learning that it was Yusef's
own invention, gave him handsome
sum for it, and was about closing the ses-
sion, when Yusef displayed iamingo-
colOred piece Of remarkably fine muslin.
Even by lamplight the color struck the
Englishman's eye and when he was told
that the dye was the invention of the idle
of Cairone, he requested him to call the
next morning, and if the color look az
well by daylight as at night, he would
buy the secret.
The next morning Yusef the 1dler
waited on the traveller and the color ap-
pearing even finer by daylight than at
night, the Englishman bought the re-
ceipt for the dye, and paid the money.
Then Yusef the Idler went into the
clothiers' quarter ana bought for himself
and put ON, splendid suit of maroon
colored' clothes, with handsome red
sash, and gold embroidered kerchief for
head and throat, and a purple fez cap,
and yellow leather slippers, pair of pjs-
tolls for show, a jasmine stemmed pipe
for use, and with purse full of guineas,
and the order for fourteen camel loads Of
The date sausages in his girdle, he held
his way to the Turkish bazaar. When he
arrived at his brothers stand, behold,
there was the desolatiol Of the desert.
Ten cents, or two pjasters, would have
bought everything he had tor sale, and
Ali the Busy, with his bead between bis
hands, was very busy-crying. He had
not "made fail of it, as the F,anks re-
mark, but he was, nevertheless, busted
up SO high that the hawks couldn't fly
to him." as the men Of Kengisland terse-
ly say.
." My brother" said Yusef the Idle,
tion, and you do not come to ME Tor help
and comfort %
At the tone of his voice, Ali the Busy
would have broken out in torrent of
abuse about lazy, idle loafers, but lifting
his head the splendid clothes, and pipe,
and pistols, met his eye, and believing
they were worn by some rich old Turk,
or one of the head officers Of the police,
he kissed his hand, laid it on his head
and breast, invoking shower of compli-
mentary blessing on the head and beard
OF the Effendi before him, and not until
several seconds did he allow his eyes to
mount up, until, to his surprise, he met
the kindly regards Of his elder brother
fixed tenderly, lovingly on him.
Ali the Busy then told his brother fall
his troubles, and of his having to sell
that morning his whole stock of goods to
pay debt due that day, debt that had
lie refused to pay, he would have been
dishonored for life. Then Yusef the ID
