His Wife Was Wise.

He had been very kind and solicitous
for several days, and Mt breakfast one
morning he suddenly remarked:
"My dear, you don't know how bad
it makes me feel to see you look so thin
and careworn."
"Yes," she softly replied.
you must have lost at least 1--WE
pounds in the last month.
Il presume So"
"And that haggard expression shows
over-work and need of rest?"
"Yes."
"Dear me but should never forgive
myself if you should go into a decline. !"
"See here, Henry" she replied, as
she lad down her fork and looked him
square in the eye, you want to drop
that. If you think you can pack me of
to the country for month and leave
you to gallop around here you have got
hold of the wrong end of the string"
He sighed heavily, but made no re-
ply, and yet, as he stood on.the corner
waiting for the car, and Smith asked
him how his wife was, he answered.
Picking right up, thank you. She's
gaining pound week right along,
and was never in better spirits. y

The Temple Of Karnak.

The temple of Karnak in the cold
moonlight is indeed sight to be seen
and thing to be dreamed of in years
to come. If ever l live to be old. gray
headed, and rheumatic, only able to
occupy an armchair by the fireside, /
feel sure that the remembrance OF
that scene as L beheld it tonight will
always remain in my mind as that thing
of beauty which is Joy forever. The
tender but bright light exhibited all
the exquisite proportions of the build
ing to perfection, and seemed to throw
q delicate vel over the scars and
scratches made by the rude fingers of
relentless time, or by the hand of the
spoiler. Everything seemed more per-
feet than in the garish light of noon
day. Columns appeared to be without
crack or flaw; colossi concealed their
general dilapidation; obelisks looked
even higher and more pointed; the ave-
nue. of sphinx, s, half buried in sand,
more grand. All had an added charm
in the glory of an Egyptian night,
which just now is like a softer day
illumined by myriads of stars.-Mr.
Braosey, IN Good Words.

Lambs, Roast Pig, and Plagiarism.

Respecting the origin of Charles
Lambs Dissertation on Roast Pig
&C. @. NJ" writes to Notes and Que
ries: Nearly every one is familiar with
this ludicrous dissertation. But how
many are aware that the diverting ao-
count there given of the origin of eat
ing roasted flesh is identical in sub
stance with that quoted by Porphyry in
his treatise "On Abstinence from Ami
NAL Food?" The passage Quoting
from Thomas Taylor's translation is as
follows: "Asclepiades, in his treatise
concerning Cyprus and PhGnicia, re-
lates: In the first place, they did not
sacrifice anything animate to the gods.
They are said, however, on O certain
occasion, in which one soul was re-
CURED for another, to have for the first
time sacrificed victim, and the whole
of the victim was then consumed by
fire. But afterward, when the victim
was burned, portion of the flesh fell
on the earth, which was taken by the
priest, who, in so doing, having burned
his fingers, involuntarily moved them
to his mouth, as a remedy for the pain
which the burning produced. Having
thus tasted of the roasted flesh, he also
desired TO eat abundantly of it,and could
not refrain from giving some of it to
his wife. Pygmalion, becoming ac-
quainted with this circumstance, or
dered both the priest and his wife to be
hurled headlong from steep rock, and
gave the priesthood to another person,
who, not long afterward performing
the same sacrifice and eating the flesh
OF the victim, fell into the same calami-
ties as his predecessor. The thing,
however, proceeding still further, and
men using the same kind of sacrifice,
and through yielding to desire, not
abstaining from, but feeding on flesh,
the deed was no longer punished. "
Taylor's translation of Porphyry's treat
Use was published in 1923, and we learn
from Barry Cornhill's Memoir" of
Lamb that the Essays of Ella" (among
which is the Dissertation on Roast
Pig"), appeared in the London Maya
zine between the month of August,
1920, and November, 1924. 1t seems,
therefore, not unfair to conclude that
the above coincidence was in fact an
adaptation-if plagiarism is too grave a
word TO apply to it.
