In the newspapers of Germany, Frank
lin, Lincoln, Scott and Albert paper
collars are advertised for sale. The use
of illustrous English and American
names in Germany as trade marks of
popular wares is frequent; but nobody
hears in the United States of the Goethe
hat or the Lessing tie. One reason for
this is probably that American and Eng
lish history and literature are better
known to the masses in Germany than
Gormon history and literature are to
the masses in America.

A spinster on Mount Sinai.

As this Is q somewhat rambling letter
let me conclude it by telling you Of =
remarkable traveller this said fellow
passenger of mine and fell in with at
Alexandria, q mature and mild maiden
lady, who calmly told US at the hotel
dinner table that she had just returned
from q visit to Mount Sinai. She went
with none but Arab servants, riding
herself on a camel and having three
other c.mels to carry her people, tents.
etc. She was away three weeks In the
desert, going by one route and returning
BY another and staying four days at
Mount Sinai. Her provisions consisted
of Liebig's extract of meat, condensed
milk and biscuits. Each night she had
her tent pitched, cooked little food,
and, having eaten her supper, slept
peacefully, quite tired out with the long
DAVIS rids. On reaching Mount Sinai
she was 70 disguised with the monks Of
the monastery there-several hundred
in number, who appear to be jolly good
fellows, for they sit down every night TO
dinner each with his bottle of Medoc By
the side of his plate that she left their
companionahip, and climbed to the top
of tho holy mountain alone BY . rude
staircase which the pious care OF some
pilgrims cut in the rock . century ego.
On reaching the summit, what, she a.ked
us, did No suppose she found theref l
hazarded the guess that perhaps it was :
broken table of the law. She replied,
" No-a broken champagne bottle" and
added that she was 80 indignant she took
the pieces and hurled them over the side
of the mountain. This beats the adver-
tisemeut of Warren's blacking on the
Great Pyramid. l fancy the owners Of
the champagne bottle must have been
