The humor of some stories needs some
little knowledge to apprehend the alto

out from the narrator. 1t has been said
that, of all the sciences, it ID difficult

the other road. Eli! it was dreadfuily

In the town of Falkirk there lived a
very notorious inidel, who gloried In
his profanity. On one occasion he was
denouncing the absurdity of the doctrine

ace. The gifts include some handsome
suits of furniture mounted in damask,
tables, cupboards, and ordinary arti-
Giles of household furniture innumerable,
cooking utensils and variety of lighter
and more ornamental articles, besides a
handsome shigram and horse. By far
the most interesting part OF the display,
however, was visit to the room in
which the jewelry to be presented was
laid out for inspection. The gold and
silver anklets and bangles were most
magnificent, and one of the neck orna-
ments must have been something over q
pound in weight. Two of these in par
ticular l noticed. One was made of
strings of gold beads, fastened together
by curiously-shaped ornaments; the
other was similar in design, with the ex-
ception that the center of every bead
was covered with pale green enamel.
The value of these / cannot venture TO
estimate. The greater part of the jew
elry displayed was of Surat manufact-
ure, most of it being of native design.
A beautiful pair of bracelets were more

composed of rows of small pearls, sepa-
rated at regular intervals by stars and
rubies; the other bracelet was of the
same pattern. substituting, however,
diamonds for the pearls. Compara-

it was trifie that would not have been
