Arab Bey's Birth.

About fifty years ago there lived II
the Delta OF Egypt, near small ham
let called el.Wijh worshiping farmer
OF some means, whose wife was barren
This farmer, or land owner, was a mar
OF some influence among his clan,
which was originally descended from
the Bedawin Arabs of the Eastern de-
sert, but had become 'domestioated'
and had settled down on the borders OF
the Delta tiller of the soil. His
friends had often told him that the
cause Of his wife's barrenness was, OF
course, known to the Omniscient only;
but that AS she was an Egyptian of the
low lands and he was descended from
the stock of Abraham and his eldest
son Ishmael, God would be much more
likely to bless him with offspring were
he to take unto himself a wife from
among the children of the desert.
He accordingly sent eastward to Ger.
tain wandering tribes, and In due course
of time had brought TO him a true Beda-
win girl. This girl, knowing that she
had been taken to wife by her husband
only with a view to offspring, had, on
her way to ci.Wijh, passed by the rest
ing place of the remains of Our Lady
Nafeessah (between Zagazig and Ismai-
lah) to there nray that she might be
blessed soon with a male child, that
she might find favor with her lord.
During the night that this true Arabian
girl, who was on the eve of marriage,
spent at the tomb of the soul.giving
Nateessah she had a dream.
A man clothed in the robes of the re-
ligious order of law doctors appeared to
her saying:
go in peace to thy intended hus.
band, for thou shalt find favor In his
eyes"
In the fullness of time she gave birth
to male child, and when the midwife
bore the glad things to the father he
exclaimed
"Ahmad- ALP Aha! /" which means,
"I praise God" Wherefore all the
women friends, when they heard what
the father had said, declared that the
boy should be called Ahmad.
Ahmad grew up to be stalwart
youth, and was known among his fell
lows by the appellatiue eel Urabi, "
because of his descent from the Arabs

Where the Lumber Goes.

To make shoe pegs enough for Ameri-
can use consumes annually 100000 cords
Of lumber, and to make our lucifer
matches 10000 cubic feet of the best
pine are required every year. Casts and
5oot trees take 100000 cords of birch.
beech, and maple, and the handles Of
tools 100000 more. The baking of our
bricks consumes 100000 cords of wool
or what would cover with forests about
$4,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 100000 trees, and
their annual repairs consume 100000
more. The ties of our railroads consume
annually thirty years growth of $4,000
acres, and to fence all our railroads
would cos. $45, 100000 with a yearly ex-
penditure of 10000 900 for repairs. These
are some of the ways in which Ameri-
can forests are going. There are others.
Our packing boxes, for instance, cost in
1874, Sl2,000,900, while the timber used
each year in making wagons and agri-
cultural implements is valued at more
than Sl0o, 100000.

I'm the fall of 1876 1 was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. l oon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 | was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said l had a hole in
my left lung as big IS a half dollar. l
doctors and medicines. l was 30 far
gone at n time a report went around
that l was dead. L gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. L laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but | got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratifi-
cation, l commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day / feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
