THE EXPERIENCES or 4 SAINT

From Egypt: DserIptire Historical and Pictmesque'
A certain pious shopkeeper felt an ardent longing
TO be enrolled in this venerable company and ~
that end he went to a man who was universally es-
teemed as holy TO beg him TO pcorure him inter-
view with the Kntb. After all sorts of tests this
was promised him, and he was commanded to
GO TO certain gate and to address himself 70
the first person he might see coming ont of the
nelgh6or1ng mosque of III Mo'ayyad. The merchant
oDeyed and he was IN fact, met by the Kutb in tho
form OF dlgnlhed old man. who granted his prayer
and ordered him to take the district southwest Of
the Zuweyleh Gate under his protection, with tho
street called Darb ell Ahmar. Immediately the mer-
chant felt that he had become Walee, and per-
ceived that he had Insight INTO things hidden from
other mOrtals. When he reached the district in
trusted to him he saw a man selling cooked beans
out OF large pot TO the passeTs-by. The newlys
made saint took stone, struck the pot over with IL,
ing for the deed. When the bean-seller's rage was
somewhat moderated, and he set TO work 10 gather
up the shards OF his broken pot he found poison
Gus snake among the pieces then he perceived with
repentance that he had beaten Walee who had in
terferred TO prevent his selling food that would
have poisoned his customers The next day the
poor saint imped around his district with swollen
limbs and. without thinking of the blows he had re-
ceived few hours before, he flung over large jar
OF milk which was offered for sale at stall Again
he was severely beaten by the owner, but the pass
ers-by held the milk-seler back. remembering what
had happenrd the day before. When tuey searched
among the fragments of the milk jar they found
dead dog at the bottom.
On the third day the Walee dragged himself
again to the Darb ell Ahmar but painfully, for ba
was s0rely beaten. Here he met servant carrying
tray on his head, with delicacies and fruit IN.
tended for a feast in couutry-house. The saint
immediately put his stick between the mans feet,
so that he fell down and all the contents OF tho
saucers split in the street. The servant flew
him in fury, and gave him as severe a taste OF
the stick he himself expected to get from his mas
upon the Gates that lay in the roadway, and within
few minutes of the first mouthfuls they lay dead.
This proved to the bystanders that the food that
mad been split poisoned, and they earnestly In.
plOred the saints forgiveness The piOusman rubbed
his severely beaten shoulders said to himself
that it not worth while to see things that were
hidden from other mOrtals. and prayed TO Col and
the Kutb TO remove from him the burden of
sanctty and to restore him TO bis former ig,,
nOrance and humble condition. Heaven granted
his PRAYER and as a shopkeeper he escaped the
beatlngs he had received as Walee.

MIR. BIGGARS WISDOM.
ErOm The Cdrdif Times.

The elder Biggar regarded with stern disfayoI
the projection of Joseph ellis into politics Him
self plain business man, whose thoughts had never
gone deeper than the bottom of barrel OF picked
pork or scared higher than the rafters where hung
his bacon, he thought his own Joseph was wasting
precious time in intermedding IN affairs of state.
Moreover, he, being man of substance, and REQ
Ognizing the substantial benefit OF British rule,
was inclined TO stand by the order of things as by
law established. Finally, he had religious jifcul-
ties with the great statesman from CayaD, who
openly rejected the ministratiOns OF the church.
Somehow or other matters were smOothed over be-
tween the two. Joseph ellis would not abandon
politics, Ill which he had made such distinguished
mark. But he recanted his religious errors, was re-
ceived inio the bosom of the church, and shared
with his sisters the old mans wealth.

about their grOtesque countrymen. have one on tho
subject of the division of the Biggar patrimony. IL

TIE PROFESSORS JOKE.
From The London Globe.

The article on this subject which recently aps
peared in The Globe lacks to make 1t complete,
story which a few years ago was current among
Edinburgh University men. One of the professors
was very much addicted to late rising, ard he had
an old crony who was quite as much addicted 20
early rising Not only was this old friend up with
tbe lark hut he himself-as is usual with such men
made il a virtue which he continually parade1
and held up as exemplar to his friends. The old
professor bore all the talk and advice Tor long
time but continued his old custom, and only waited
until mis- turn came to respond. Ii came one day in
his own lecture-room where his friend went TO hear
him.
In the middle of the lecture his friend was fast
asleep Now was the professors opportunity. Pans
ing i'm the midst of his remarks, he pointed 10 the
sleeper and addressed the students sOlemnly, Gel.
tIemenV he said You see before you example al
fine perncious evil habit of early rising" The peak
of laughter that rang through the room awoke the
sleeper and he afterward had the story told him
Ever afterward." in StOry.book paTance, he kept
his virtuous actions TO himself and did not attack
the tailings OF others.

however, for after waiting time in the hall the
door opened, and instead of seeing the Baron the
Mortified official found himself face TO face with a
gaunt wolf. After this and in consequence of the
report that the grim lord of the manor had sworn
pay taxes, the gatherers approached the place no
more contenting themselves with jOttlng down the
outstanding Dues which to-day amount TO oO,OOO
florins and which will at last have TO he paid by
