them, whose sting caused instant
death. Thus tradition in this Mo
hammedau country has rendered
sacred the last resting place of the
despised and prosecuted Christians.
An Arab legion tells us that one of
their race was condemned to slavery
IN a foreign land; he was lamenting
his hard fate, when a venerable-lool-
ing man appeared before him and
asked him ii he desired to be restored
10 his native cOuntry. He replied
Name thy conditions, O Christian
and, if not contrary to the words of
Allah, will joyfully comply with
them" The old man said: "In re-
turn for thy rahsom, [ only ask that
you take this scroll and burn it at the
entrance Of the tomb of the Chris
tlans." The Arab gladly made the re
qulred promise, and when he reached
the tomb the mysterious scroll had
scarcely touched the flames. when
thousands of gold and silver coin flew
from every part OF the monument.
and darted in direct line to the
country Of the Christians. The Arab
threw his furnous in the air to bring
down some of the precious coin, bat
as soon as they had touched the
ground the golden stream ceased.
After this miracle the pasha sent labor
ers to demolish the tomb, In order to
obtain the riches it contained, when
not only the first appearance Of a
phantom woman terrified the work
men, but swarrns of enormous gnats
drove them from the spot The tomb
is supposed to have been built by the
Kabyles, which theory Strengthens
the idea that this interesting tribe
have absorbed the remnant of the
early North African church. We
know that at one time this people
were represented by eighty Christian
Kabyle bishops, and the facts that
they now observe the Christian and
not the Mohammedan Sabbath, and
hold to one wife, who often wears the
sign of the cross cut in her forehead.
also tend to this belief. The character
OF their institutions, their hospitality.
and industrious habits, prove their
claim to superiority; and it is certain
that they are much more ready to re
ceive the benefits of civilization than
the surrounding Arabs.

Royal Aspirants for the Hand ofUnser
Fritz Daughter.

There is Il possibility that the Ro-
man Catholic church In southern Ger
many will lose its wealthiest princely
family, owing to the latter's heir and
representative having developed a
fancy for "Unser Fritz second daugh-
ter, the Princess Victoria. Prince
Macmillan of Thurn and Taxis be-
came of age only last summer, and
his extended visit at the German cap
ltal is said to have but one interpreta-
tlon-that he is an ardent wooer. 1t
is yet to be seen, however. if he is
willing that his descendants shall be-
come Protestants, for it is quite GER
tain that the kaiser will impose that
condition before consenting to the
nuptials. Whatever may be causing
the delay, so far as deciding the future
OF the young pair is concerned, it is
clearly evident that the young prince
has reason to hope, or he would have
left the city some time before He
owns vast estates in Bohemia, south
ern Germany, and Belgium, and also
great possessions in Silesia, that were
given his family by Prussia at the
Vienna congress as payment for dis
continuing the mail routes belonging
to them. A correspondent writes
from southern Germany that the
young princes business N Berlin is
creating great dissatisfaction, as the
Thurn and Taxis family is Roman
Catholic, the mother of the young
prince being a Bavarian princess, and
and the people know that this pro
posed marriage may result in making
the family Protestant.
The prince of Bulgaria is also sup
posed to be suitor for the princess
hand. During his very recent visit
he was given a state dinner by the
croWn prince and princess at their
summer residence, the New palace, :"
in Potsdam, and it has been rumored
that the betrothal of the prince with
Princess Victoria was then an
nOunced. An enterprising picture
dealer in Friedrich strasse who al
ways announces the latest bit of news
by the manner in which he groups
the photographs in his window, i'm
mediately y placed pictures of the Prin-
cess Victoria and the prince of Bull
garia side by side. This caused so
much comment that the semi-official
North German Gazette came out with
an emphatic denial of the rumored
betrothal. This is no doubt right; at
least Prince Macmillan acts as If it
were true. The imperial family is by
degrees reconciling al the petty
princes whom the Hohenzollerns,
have deprived of their former power.

On the top of one of the mountains
near Hammam B Ihra is plainly visi-
bic the wonderful structure called the
''Tombean de la ere tienne." This
immense monument, which can be
seen for hundreds Of miles around,
here presented the appearance of a
mighty dome; its base is 200 feet in
diameter, and the circular cone rises
to the height of 130 feet. Those who
have had nearer view, tell us of
finely cut columns, and winding pas
sages leading to vaulted chambers
which arc lined with beautiful cary
1ngs IN stone. The wonder is how
this vast monument came into exis-
tence, with the name that has always
clung to it. They tell US there is no
doubt that the daughter of Anthony
and Cleopatra was buried there. This
tomb has been but little explored, and
during the centuries it has withstood
many efforts to batter it down by
means of artillery. The brothers
Barbarossa, the famous ,Jirates, tried
to destroy it with the hope of finding
hidden treasures, but poisonous black
wasps issued from beneath the stones
as the workmen attempted to lift

Ii will be observed that this year but few

this season: Abuses have crept into thi.
custom of receiving, which must be obvious
10 all. In all other cities the publication
Of names was frowned down three
years ago, and il is now the custon for
young ladies to send their cards to those
gentlemen whom they would take pleasur.
in meeting. Many ladies In 81. Louis have
been much annoyed In former years BY
calls from persons whom they scarcely
knew, snd would not recognize upon the
street. The "open-house" practice msy be
considered abolished, and hereafter only

NAV call upon them without waiting for
the card formality.

F. Hints to Young SpOrtsmen.

The following advice to young sports
men appears in the current issue of st.
Nicholas. and should he carefully read
by the juvenile lover of field sports:
Always bear in mind that il is the
muZzle of a gun that is dangerous
therefore, never allow the muzZle to
point toward yourself or any other pert
SON
Never put your hand over the muzzIe
of gun, nor allow another person 70
handle your gun while it is loaded.
Use a breach.lnadng with rebounding
hammers. A muzze-loading gun is both
inconvenient aud dangerous 10 load.
Hammerless guns are beautiful and
convenient weapons, but they are not bit
for boys to use, especially boys who are
just beginning TO shoot.
: 1t you are bunting IN company with
Others, be careful and courteous, always
refraining from shooting at birds that
are flushed nearer to your companion
than to you. and do not allow yonr gun,
under any circumstances to point at or
in the direction of any human being.
Open your gun at the breach and take
oQt OOIu bCIOIC tDc lCuCc,
getting into a wagon, going into house,
or handing the gun to person not used
to firearms.
Never drag gun toward you muzzle
foremost.
Treat an unloaded gun with the same
care that you would use in handling a
loaded one.
81 did not know it was loaded" has
caused many terrible accidents.
1t is best to thoroughly clean and dry
agun afterit has been used all day, and
when not In use it should be kept in a
wooden or leather Case
Never shoot at harmless or worthless
birds lust to try your hand" Most
small birds are pretty, some of them sing
sweetly. and nearly all of them are USE
full as infect destroyers. 1t is brutal to
kill them for other than scientific OF
artistic purposes.
When out hunting, observe everything
SO as to remember the minatest details
of visible nature. knowledge thus gath
cred is invaluable
Boys, when hunting together, should
be very cautious in thick covert, as there
one may be quite near another and not
see him.
