pretty oriental legend thus relates
how Bacchus discovered the vine.
When very little boy, Dlonysus,
who was noted traveller, was iourn.

Fatigued, he sat down on stone; be
observed at his feet pretty creeping
plant, gay, though not 80 old as the
Ivy green. He wished 70 bring it
home with him. He pulled it up,
bnt fearing the heat would dry the
tendrll roots, he, on looking round
for something to wrap the roots in,
stumbled across the leg bone of bird
which proved capital sheath.

saw iurze common in bloom; he
offered up prayer when be discover

the value of the chocolate nut. Young
Baechus found next morning that his
specimen was apparently a member
of the same family, as Jonah's gourd

He happened tn light on another
bone, this time it was q lions; he
added it on like more pipe. The

the lions bone; fortune cast in bis

husband one morning was called upon
by the bailif1s, to stand and deliver.
Instead as he had taken an action
against M. Grevy for exercising

adding insult to injury to make him

M. Grevy has a CONSTITUTIONAL
