A Carpet Pattern.

From the Penn Monthly
Among the most curious of the discoveries of
modern science are those facts which the mi
crOscope, applied to the inner parts of animals
has revealed. Thus has it been found that the
animal may be world in itself, containing
within it vast microscopic forests whose avenues
of waving palms are trodden by innumerable
animal forms of curious shapes, strange habits,
and still stranger life-histOries. 1t is not only
in the larger, but more especially indeed. in the
tiniest forms Of ordinary life that these par
asites flourish. Those insects which feed upon
dead wood swarm with them. An ordinary
millipede is perambulating commonwealth,
while our common white ant holds in her capa-
ciOus abdomen a kingdom whose population
might in numbers put to shame even the Ameri-
can nation. The brown contents of her in
testinal canal, instead of being chiefly composed
of food. are living mass of minute protoza
The world thus uncovered is Of great scientific
interest, and in the beauty of its forms may be
even of esthetic value. One of the most popu-
lar designs for American Wilton carpets last
year was based upon the forms of a well-known
microscopic plant, and future Americans may
treat upon the effigies Of humble beings whose
highest ambition heretofore has been to figure
in one Of the beautiful plates of Leidy.

is another expression of quaint taste. Very
simple looking is large steel-gray card with
ornaments OF pansies and passion flowers.
English Easter cards for the most part present
the same colorings seen in those produced here,
but are less elaborate. The lily and sunfiower
are frequently used. while figures rohed in me-

are used literally also. One beautiful English

A Story of Cairo.

From All the Year Round.
A great scandal occurs to my mind, as hap
peningSt Cairo in 1880. Scheikh Hamuda Berda
lived in quarter of the town less fashionable
than is generally affected by wealthy saints,
who have gained public recognition. With
modest assurance he declared that Allah had
personally granted him authority to cure all
diseases. BY the hand of Mahomet himself the
Merciful One confided to him drugs and lotions
which restored the sight, replaced an amputated
limb, and so on. As for mere pains and aches
he removed them at word. During many
years residence at Cairo. vast number of per-
sons profited by his supernatural skill, but he
specially laid himself out for female patients.
In later times the good man found his practice
SO large that he could no longer attend poor
people. From every part OF Egypt, Arabia and
Syria. wealthy ladies came to consult the
Scheikh, and Of course they brought a hand
some present.
young wife Of Izzet Bey, colonel in the Egyp-
tian service, proposed to visit MIN for an affec-
tion of the eyes. The Colonel sent her with a
proper retinue Of attendants, who returned,
know not why, after depositing their mistress at
the door Of Hamuda Berda. She entered with
a favOrite slave, but never came out again. For
some days her husband was not alarmed, since
surgical operations demand o certain time.
Anxious at length, he called upon the Scheikh,
whose manner was not reassuring. He protested
that the young woman had left on the evening
of her arrival, cured. The Colonel was not sat
isfied: He appealed to the police, and they
searched the dwelling minutely; presume that
Izzet Bey is a man Of influence. Nothing was
found in the sanity house, but a very foul and
| malodorous well in the garden drew their no.
| tice. Removing the cover they found the corpses
| of the young woman and her slave among such
q mass of putrid bones as showed that whole
sale murder had been going on for years.
Brought before the Cadi. the saint confessed his
habit of strangling every woman who came to
| consult him, If her jewelry seemed worth the
| trouble. Such hideous stories now and then
| shock the grave. dumb population Of the East.
