An Arab Police Court.

The French masters of Algiers have
instituted court called the Bureau
Arabe. Over il presides Il Frenchman,
known as the President. A table is be-
fore him. On either side OF tie room,
ranged against the wall, are three or
four gentlemen, the court officials.
People are squatted about, while the
clerk is painting in, rather than writing,
the "notes. The court is open, and
below is a picture OF Il scene given by an
Eastern traveller:
Enter an Arab, with face OF agony,
and clothes filthy and in disorder. He
drags himself to the front. raises his
right hand out of his mantle (bernou>),
and with the fore-iingcr pointing to
heaven. exclaims in shrill tone:
II invoke God and His justice!'
..What have Won to complain of?
Speak," says the President.
With the shrilleSt of screams. the
Arab repeats: Il invoke God and His
iustice!'

4 case OF Brutality.

In the little Welsh village of Glais,
near Swansea, there lives in matched
cottage with his mother and aunt a
man about twenty-seven years old, who
has been brought up in such perfect Sc
clu>ioa that not dozen persons in the
parish have ever seen his face. He has
spent most of his life in corner by the
fireplace, behind an old curtain.. When
he hears anybody approaching the door,
he hastens behind the curtains and re-
mains concealed there IL long as the
stranger is in the house, the only evil
donice Of hi; presence being afforded BY
the Sigh; waving of the curtain at inter-
walls. Many attempts have been made
by Villagers and others to obtain Il
glimpse OF him ont of curiosity, but so
tar they have neen unsuccessful on ac-
cpun! of the vigilance of his guardians,
wn) take ..ceat precautions to prevent
his cYpo,lre. No cause for this strange
impri-rlnl mt j. known to exist, except
the brutal within OF the two women,

existence OF his fellow men and the OBJ

Is itthoughtlessuess if or seitishncs5 that
makes SO many neglect the little court
estes (abroad and ut home) which cost
next to nothing and which always make
others happy? The habit OF such gentle
attentions is grace that comes by cul-
tivation as well as by nature, and every
one should covet it earnestly among the
best gifts. The following little s.ory will
illustrate what we mean:
A boy about II years Of age, a cripple
by paralysis from infancy, was being
carried by his mother from the cars 10
the ferry at Jersey City Just rs they
were leaving the train "a quiet. unassum-
ing gentleman came to them, saying;
That boy seems too heavy burden
for you; will You allow me to carry
him?''
The mother gladly assented, and the
little fellow put his arm about the
strangers neck and was carried to the
boat and placed carefully in good seat,
and there left with his mother until the
boat had crossed, when the gentleman
returned to his charge, and with {. smile
that fingers still upon the memory, and
kind words that soothed and conforted,
carried the boy to the waiting-room in
the New York Depot.
There, on being assured that he could
be of no further assistance, he bade the
boy goodbye, and left him, speaking
cordially as he passed out to an elderly
gentleman who was just entering.
The grateful boy bcckoned to this
elderly gentleman and asked, '.Can you
give me the name of the gentleman TO
whom you Just spoke?' sslsss5fss

which Moses acknowledged the right of
future generations to alterireligiUls cers

times, the New Israel suppresses the
ceremony of circumcision of children,
which they consider dangerous for feeble

the permission of the Government to
wear special sign to distinguish them
