AN ORIENTAL JOE MILLER.-A
story is told of FL Mehdi, one of the
AbbasideS, that being out hunting one
day, The came upon the hut of an
Arab, who set some simple fare before
him, hut supplemented it with a..bottle
of wine. The Caliph drank a glass
and said, go brother Of the Arabs !
do you know who [ am =" "No, by
Allah !" was the reply. IL am one of
the personal attendants of the Com
mander of the Faithful" II congratu-
late you on your post" said the other.
Tossing off another glass, Ell Medhi
repeated the question, and the Arab
reminded him that he had just told
him he was one of the Caliph's suite.
Nay" said El Medhi, But I ana
one of his principal officers" 81
wish you Joy" said the Arab. After
a third glass, The Caliph again began:
40 brother OF the Arabs do you
know who I ami" "You say YOU are
one of the Commander OF the Faith
fuls chief oficers." answered the
AraD. riot so" said Eal Medhl, 81
am the Commander Of the Faithful
himselft" The Arab, on hearing this,
quietly took the bottle of wine from
the table and put it away, with the
%sententious remark: IF you were to
drink another glass you would declare
that you were the Prophet himselfim
This anecdote, with slight varia-
lions, is also told of Haroun AIra-
schid indeed it is often difficult to
ascertain exactly who the heroes of
certain ~favorite stories, are, as they
are not unfrequently repeated in diff
ferent biographies. Such witticisms
probably were stock quotations from
the unwritten Joe Miller ofsthe DAY.

On Il narrow island near the New Eng

streets by day and tho watchman by night,
where they dispose of sulphur moat by
auction, and the merry maiden and the tar
go junkcting together in an ancient calash,
lives an old lady, Auntie B.--. The
same roof has sheltered three generations
Of her family, and ii would require little
less than an earthquake to dislCdgc her
from her seat by tho old fashioned fire.

and contcntment. ''IIavcn't you single

once. She dropped her knitting, and n

years ago, when my dear dead sister was

We'll, do you know, didn't 90, after all,

Material rantankcrOsity.

Two eminent men Of one of the Cam
bridge colleges were one day taking walk
in their delicious grove. They had an ar
gumcnt, in which one of the men could
not do justice to any view that contlicted
with his own. 81 tell you what it is, my
FRIEND" at last said his opponent, ''thc
fact is that you have got twist in your
mind" The man OF twisted mind has
since become very famous, but many of
his friends consider that tho twist Is very
palpablc. 1t was favOrite saying Of
Lessing, the philosopher, which his biogra.
piers call upon us to admire exceedingly,
that If the truth were offered him on the
one hand and the search after truth on tho
other hand, he would prefer to search,
Now here is case of "thc twist" hum,

tankcrOslty. If truth were worth the
searching for, it might be supposed that II
would be worth tho having. All those
who have followed the Socratic dialogues
Of search know the great and peculiar
charm cf this method of investigation
Still, truth 10 the first thing necessary, ant
the second thing necessary, and the thirt
thing necessary and the man who coult
have talked this way must have been can
tankerous, at least to the extent Of no
caring for tho truth, an opinion which
seems to gain ground the moro one under

The II0t0Iiscniltls.

The ROthsckilds have been attracting no
little attention to themselves here III Paris
by the announcement Of the extension o.
the act of partnership, which expired Scptem
Der, 30, $50, to 1905. The Paris branch Of
the famous family is quite large. Tho
Dowager Baroness RothschiId, who lives
in he family mansion in the Rue Latllt,c,
had five childrcn-Baroncss Alphonso, who
is at this date the head of the family:
Baron Solomon, who died long time ago;
Baroness Nathaniel ltothschild. The ven

charity. She gives away hundreds of
thousands of francs every year. In sum
mcr she lives in splendid country house at
BJulognc where apartments for each of
her sons and daughters are kept constantly
in order. Baron and Baroness Alphonso
Kothschsld live in the old mansion in the
Rue Saint Florentinc, where Tallcyrand
once resided. They are gay and extremely
fond of society, and are seen everywhere
in the monde; the Baroness is one of the
most accomplished cqucstricnncs who frc.

of conversation, books, pictures and society.
His widow has daughter who will, it 10
said, be the richest hcrcss in the Paris

a Vikings War Ship.

An interesting discovery has been made
at Sandchcrrcd in Norway, of a Scandina-
Wan war vessel. Buried under Il hillock,
Il sailing vessel was found, which is thought
to belong to those terrible highwaymen of
the ocean, the Vikings, or Norwegian
pirates. 1t measures about seventy five
feet in length, and is an almost perfect
state of preservation. 1t was armed and
equipped as though it had been abandoned
where found when on the point Of sailing
on some adventurous expedition. All the
apparatus used by nautical Norsemen arc
met with in this ancient craft, the most of
which is still pretty we'll intact. There
are fragments of sails and cordage remain.

feet or incomplete, OF utensils and instru-
mcnts, which have been eagerly ex-
amined by authorities. Among other Things
are number of pieces OF oak
wood, peculiarly shaped, followed out in
the centre to admit of ropes being passed
through them. Spades and shields, OF
bucklers, have also been found, or rather
the iron portion Of the bucklcrs, for the
wooden part is entirely gono. Near the
ruddcr tho skeletons of three horses were
discovered. The form of the shlelds, and
also the manner in which they arc sus-
pended round the interior of the ship, is
absolutely the same rs one sees represented
on the beautiful tapestry of Bayeux, IL
Normandy which date back to the eleventh
century.

The Nightingale.

One of the most celebrated of song birds
Is the nightingale, or night singer. 1t IS a
migratory bird. Do you know what this
ls3 1t Is bird that visits its northern
home enrly IN the spring, and quits it for
the south early IN the autumn. 1t mlgrates.
This famous bird is common in nearly
all parts OF Europe 1t haunts woods,
thlckets, and gardens. 1t migratcs into
Egypt and Syria. 1t has been seen among
the willows of Jordan and the olive trees
OF Judma. In 10 pant Of Europe is it moro
common than in Spain or Italy; but even
III these southern regions the bird is mi
gratory.
The nightingale Is shy in its habits. Its
nest is placed low, and hidden from view.
It's eggs, five III number, are of an olive
brown. Its food consists of insects. In
color it Is brown, with Il reddish tingc on
the back and TAIL
Asa songster, the bird is unsurpassed.
Though its notes are heard ut intervals
during the day, they are poured forth in
their greatest perfection on quiet evenings,
an hour or two after sunset; and when The
moon is nearly full, and the weather is Sc
rene, the mGodious song of the nightingale
may be heard at midnight.
Ah' '"tc Dlsiop otanlcy, Oh England,
gives an account of one that he raised from
tho nest. 1t was kept in cage two years;
then the cage was hung open at the door,
and the bird was allowed to go out.
at first it returned regularly every even
ing. AS The season advanced, ii sometimes
stayed out all night Ill the garden; but if
called by some one whose voice it knew, it
would return and feed from his hand. In
the autumn, as the evenings got COIL, it re-
turned to its cage again before nightiall.
IL was Ia ken as usual INTO the house, and
was Kept there for the winter. This is Il
curious instance of the force of habit over
coming the instinct of bird.
