A Wise Governor,

Midhat Pasha, while Governor of the
vilayet of Bagdad, emulated the meth
cd of Caliph Haroun Alraschid in deal
ing with the lawless tribes under his
sway. Dates in that country form a
principal article of diet; and frequent
complaints were brought to the Cover
nor from large village, rich in date
groves, OF the ROBBERY Of their crops Dy
a neighboring village, where not sin
gle date tree existed. Midhat Pasha
summoned the marauding villagers to
his presence and demanded anrexplana-
ton of their conduct. They pleaded in
excuse the necessity of living, and that
they were without date trees of their
own. Every WE'LL" said the Vail,
nevertheless if hear of another case
of robbery l shall take the Oldest man
in the village and imprison him for six
months. But, mark me, if the oldest
man can show plantation on his land
of twenty young date trees he will be
exempt from punishment. The next
eldest man will be taken with like
reservation, and so on through the
village. Now, my friends, yeu may
90. Yet, stay little. Should any of
you require young date trees, they may
be obtained gratis on applying to the
Government House." The result was
that the village in question was soon
flourishing in date-groves, and after a
few years robberies ceased.

arid shore has no fresh water, yet
comparatively numerous population
contrive to live there, thanks to the copi-
Gus springs which break forth from the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water is
got by diving. The diver, sitting in
his boat, winds a great goat-skin bag
around his left arm, the hand grasping
its mouth; then takes in his right hand
a heavy stone, to which is attached a
strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges in and quickly reaches the
bottom. Instantly opening the bag
over the strong jet of fresh water, he
springs up the ascending current, at
the same time closing the bag, and is
helped aboard. The stone is then
hauled up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges again. The source
of the copious submarine springs is
thought to be in the green hills of Os-
man, some five or six hundred miles
distant.

Petrifed Stovewood.

Capt. William Jones, who has been
over to Caribou, brought back with him
a remarkable natural curiosity. 1t is a
section of stovewood sawed from tree
about nine inches in diameter. In split
ting it Captain Jones disclosed pine
cone, imbedded in the wood, which, by
the pressure of the annual growth of
the wood, is as hard as adamant, and
which retains its natural purple color.
1t was evidently one of the topmost
cones when the tree was very young.
The stem of the cone was caught by
about the sixth annual growth, and the
rings of the wood show that it gradual
ly enveloped, and had been finally hid
den for over six years before the axe of
the woodman gave it a chance for res
direction. - Georgetown (COl.J Miner.
