In Love With Mary Anders

The lunatic lover who used to haunt

son nightly with fearful tunes upon a
flute as she left, disappeared from
w ellington street some time ago, and it
was hoped he was dead or in mad
house but he is to the fore again, flute
and all, piping in tones to melt the
heart of stone. This victim of hope
less passion Is an ex-wraugler of Cam
bridge University and scientific au-
thor of some note. He is not the only
English moth or masber who has been
sadly scorched by the blazing beauty of
the majestic Mary. The Carmelite

Jared converts, captured by the Ameri-
can enchantress, as might almost excite
the envy of Mousignor Capel.

The Northa German Gazette reports
that the valuable library of the khedive
which until recently was ona of the larg.

quietly disposed of by the Pashas. For
many years the distinguished German
scholar Spita Bey had the library under
his complete control, and during his
'ibrlrianship he succeeded not only in
reducing the chaos of books and manu-.
scripts to admirable order, but also in
acquiring a large number of splendid
copies of the Koran and OF ancient com.
mentaries upon it. When Arabi's revo-
luton broke out, however, the rebel
leaders charged Herr Spita with hav.
ing desecrated sacred volumes, and dis
missed him from his post. Hs there-

since his departure the library has fal
len, actually if not nominally, into the
hands of a set of ignorant men.
