Arab Courage.


 The courage of the Bedouin is one of their most lauded virtues, but one which within the present century has not been conspicu- ously vindicated. have seen more than once tribe on r. i'd, and have heard more than one tale of Bedouin battles As 8 rule, the bulletin seems to be to the following effect i've bravely attacked the enemy which made it's appearance in 8 force of one to our ten. We took several prisoners, and the enemy lost heavily, two horses and several COWS being slain. At length his remaining forces withdrew, and we found our casual ties to include one mare hurt in the leg by 8 spear. We cut of the fore fingers of our prisoners in remembrance of those of ou1 tribe whose boards and hair had been burned of on former occasion ,snd letting them go, drove of the captured camels, and endeave ored to conceal as far as possible the direc. tion of our victorious retreat" Such are the deeds which have heard recounted, and al though men are sometimes slain in battle, and Fahed en Nimar has legs which have been peppered with small shot, it must be remembered that to initiate blood feud is 6 most serious circumstance in tribe life, and that the whole policy of the leaders will for many years be directed to the healing of the breach thus caused, and to the settlement of blood money. When disagreement occurs between two tribes, they will gather their spearmen, concentrate their encapments, and square up, so to speak, toward each other, but they generally oontrive, before matters come to an open breach, to find third party willing to mediate, and a compromise is es- tablished, to the great relief of the bold war riOrs on either side.

Luther's Table-Talk.


 The wit and Pisty os the Great German Preacher.
 CJ. A. Frouds in Contemporary Review.l
 can but gather specimens here and there out of the four closely-printed volumes ot these conversations. There is no such table talk in literature, and it ought to be com. pletely translated. Luther was passionately fond of music. He said of it:
 Music is one of the fairest of Gods gifts tc man Satan hates music because it drives away temptation and evil thoughts. The notes make the words alive. It is the best refreshment to 8 troubled soul the heart af you listen recovers it's peace It is disci pline, too, for it softens us and makes us temperate and reasonable. I would allow nc man to be 8 sehoolmaster who cannot sing, nor would let him preach either. | And again:
 1 have no pleasure in any man. who, Ilke the fanatics, despises music. It is no inven. tion of ours. It is gift from God to drive away the devil and make us forget our anger and impurity and pride and evil temper. place music next to theology. I can see why David and all the saints put their divinest thoughts into song.
 He could be critical, too, in his way. His objections to the Epistle of St. James are well known. He says of another book:
 The story of Jonah is more incredible than any poets fable. If it were not in the bible l snOuIO 1euBQ Ut U ho WAS LuEo0 0aJS An the belly of great fish; why, the fish would have digested him in three hours and con. verted him into it's own flesh and blood. The miracle of the Red Sea was nothing to this. The sequel, too, is so foolish-when he is released he begins to rave and expostulate and make himself miserable about Q gourd. It is great mystery:
 He shared in many of the popular super stitions. He believed in the reality of witch craft, for instance. The devil he was con- vinced was personally present-perhaps om. nipresent, doing every kind of mischief, and had many times assaulted himself. Many things might thus happen of a strange kind through the devils agency. Nor was he quick to recognize new scientific discoveries.
 Modern astronomers. he said, pretend that the earth moves and not the sun and the firmament-as in a carriage or boat we seem to be motionless ourselves, while the trees and banks sweep past us. These clever fellows will believe nothing old, and must have their own ideas. The holy scripture says, Joshua bade the sun stand still not the earth"
 But his powerful sense and detestation of falsehood gave him an instinctive insight into the tricks of charlatans. He regarded magic as unmixed imposture. He told g story of Duke Albert of Saxony, to whom Jew once offered a wonderful gem en! eraved with strange characters, alleging that it would make the wearsr proof against cold steel and gunshot. 'I will try it first on thee, !" the duke said. He took the Jew out of doors with the gem on his neck, and ram his sword through him. ''So it would have been with me-" he said, ''had I trusted thee '

THE RIrrERs PRoR1Em.

The dealers in bitters regard with bitterness the recent decision of Internal Revenue Com missioner Evans deIegating to collectors of in- ternal revenue the power to decide whether dealers in their respective districts should pay special Hcense fax for selling proprie. tary medicinal bitters. Protests are said to be pouring into the office of the Internal Revenue commissioners, and retailers who have heretofore handled this class of goods without molestation under the protection of the proprietary stamp tax are now reluctant to run the risk of being compelled to take out licenses, and have, to great extent, stopped their orders.
 Commissioner Eyans' decision practically reverses the decisions on this subject made by Greene B, Raum when he was Commission CT of Internal Revenue. Mr. Raum has been interviewed and he makes a strong argument against Commissioner Evans course. This argument is, in substance, as follows: Pro- prietary medicinal bitters cordial and tonics, are prophylsctics, and are used for prevent ing as well as curing diseases by large pro- portion of the people of the country. Ton ic stimulants unquestionably are beneficial in malarisl climates. When Congress levied a stamp tax upon medicinal bitters it was Q recognition of the preparations as popular remedial agents. Millions of dollars of taxes have been collected from the people, and the manufacturers have, under the sanction of law established an extensive trade in these reme- dies. This is now to be upset by tax on vendors, which was not contemplated by Congress. This should not be done, except in such cases as it may appear that there was a palpable mistake originally in the classification of the article. The right to sell these remedies without paying special tax should not be lawful in one district or place while different rule may prevail in another district. The Con- missioner of Internal Revenue should decide such questions for all districts Leaving it to collectors who may differ in opinion will certainly create confusion and prove snare to honest dealers all over the country. A medicine cannot properly be judged by the quantity of spirits it contains. Some drugs require more, some less, to preserve or hold them in solution. The manufacturers of proprietary medicines study to produce pal atable preparations of course, and the offen- sive drugs are pleasantly modified by the use of certain Aavors and liquors. The only test to judge preparation by is the actual quan- tity of medicine in prescribed dose. Too much cannot be said against the plan adopt ed of making each collector the judge of every preparation sold in his district, as the inevitable consequence will be to break up many reputable concerIs. which have paid large sums of money to the government.
 Mir. Raum's experience as Commissioner gives his words weight. We do not see' however, why the collectors will not be able to deal intelligently and justly with the sellers of bitters in their districts.

TOMLINsoN's BRIDGE.

The restless spirit of reform which dis turbs New Haven has at last reached Tom lnson's bridge. Two of our esteemed con tsmporaries have pronounced its doom We are afraid they are too hasty-just little too previous. We beg them to consider that the other side has not yet been fairly heard. There are sure to be at least two sides to any public question which can arise in New Ha-
 ven. This matter has been, so to speak, sprung upon the public by our contempora. ries. The attention of the artistic element of our city has been otherwise directed, and has not yet been concentrated upon this bridge. Our friends are too nasty. Its style may be classic. There may be ''some thing Greek" about it. It is possible that it may resemble the Parthenen. We have sometimes thought thai by moonlight it bore some likeness to the temple of Theseus. It is true we have never seen the Temple of Theseus, but we have seen the old State House and that amounts to fac simile The bridge may at least convey some suggestion of the Venetian Rialto. If any of these things are true of it of course the bridge should be spared. How can our contempo- raries have made up their minds so decidedly that Tomlinson's bridge must go? Perhaps it can be repaired. We ought to have esti- mates from joiners architects and engineers. Prominent citizens should be interviewed. It may turn out to be very serviceable structure which only needs little fixing. Perhaps it can be turned into soldiers me- merial bridge, thus combining sentimental purpose with one of great public utility.
 If it cannot be converted. into 8 memorial library or proasabiy repaired, perhaps it can be removed.and placed upon the Green. Has it never occurred to our contemporaries that it's graceful longitudinal form could easily be cut up into excellent alcoves and thus be used to contain the public library that we are going to have right away; or that it would form very fitting and harmonious addition to the old State House, and that thus we would have all our relics together on the Green. where, like the twin pillars of Luxor, their chaste beauty and refined art might be perpetual delight to all true con- noisseurs.
 We trust that Tomlinson's Bridge will not go, at least not uutil it's merits have been fully discussed, and meanwhile the discussion may serve as the missing link between the State House question, that of the Public Li- brary and that of the SoIdiers' Monument.

Professor Spencer F. Baird, United States Ryder's success in raising young oysters by ! the fertilization of their eggs marks the most important step thst has yet been made in this country in oyster culture. Professors Brooks and Ryder have been carefully study in gthe embryoloey of the oyster for the last six years. Both of them found that the American oysters were of two sexes, each be-
 ing discovered in different shell, and that the eggs of the female could be fertilized when put in contact with the milt of the male. The method used was singularly simple in the initial stage, as were the ways of distin- gushing the sexes. But the trouble arose when the attempt was made to carry the fer tilized germ beyond certain period. The embryonic oyster is free swimmer during the early stages of it's existence. In natural conditions after short time 1t attaches itself to an object, remains fixed and grows. A great many different experiments were tried in order to bridge over this crucial period, and none was successful until Professor Ky der hit on simple method of accomplishing it. The eggs were taken and fertilized and allowed to remain in buckets some five hours until the swimming condition was developed. They were then placed in small preserve where the water from the Chesapeake bay could pass, which went into the little pond, filtered by means of g diaphragm constructed of wood and sand. In this pond oyster shells were suspended, and on these the spat at tached itsaIf
