Khammurabi is probably the modern

reaches across to the Tigris. The canal

The Sultan at Prayer.

The Sultan stands erect with his face
to the east and his feet on his praying
carpet, and, placing the thumbs of each
hand under each ear, he spreads his
hands like wings, lifting his ears up
ward rs if to catch any sound from
Heaven, and with his hands in this
position must turn first to the right
and spit, then TO the left. and then
dropping his hands to his side holds
them rigid while he bends his knee and
then his whole body forward from his
knees until his forehead touches the
floor three times. He repeats his pray
er in this position and gets upon his
feet again without touching his hands
to tie floor, and again makes wings of
his ears and again splits right and left
and his prayer is over. Every Turk
believes that he has two attendant
spirits, one good and one evil. and as
he is not sure which side the cmissary
of Satan has pre-empted he sp,ts al
both to make sure. - Charleston News

Too Much of This.

1t is now stated that tree can be
cut down, and in thirty-six hours be
made into paper and turned out as a
newspaper. Judging from the appear
ance of some of the city dailies, we
guess that Is so, and that when the
chopper gets through with cutting
down the tree, he keeps right on with
the same axe and chops ont the wood
cuts that adorn the paper. There is
too much of the thirty-six-hour work
in the newspapers Of the day. In which
the axe and tho shears join partner

A story of Bishop Simpson.


An incident showing his gifts is re-
lated by h s uncle. Late one Saturday
night he arr we'd Mt town in the
mountainous regions of Pennsylvania.
where he was total stranger The
next morning he made his way to the
Methodist church. and accosted the
pastor. telling him he was brother in
the ministry. Simpson being extremely
awkard and plain in appearance, The
pastor half inclined to omit the courtesy
due brother preacher, of asking him
to deliver a sermon. If he inquired Of
the b shop as to his name, he must
have failed to catch il; for he certainly
had no idea to whom he was speaking.
His request for the stranger to
preach was therefore expressed in the
most formal and constrained manner.
The stranger readily agreed to fill the
pulpit; and the pastors chagrin was
evident, as he resigned himself to his
fate The bishop preached one of his
powerful sermons; and everybody in
the audience whispered to his neighbor,
WHO is hep" Before he had taken
his seat, the pastor had him by the
hand. "What did YOU say your name
was p' Simpson" What! Not
the bishop ?" "That is what they eau
me-" The minister sprang to his feet
and shouted: You have had the privi-
legc of listening to Bishop Simpson.

snap betrays her. Another who il

No More Light Wanted.

A debate arose the other day in q
group of Boston society women who
had been discussing certain code Of
etiquet whether it was ignorance or
bad breeding or the reverse, on tho
part of visitor to open the window
or raise the window-shade of the roo
into which he or she mad been usher

ference the height of rudeness; another
was inclined to excuse the act on the
plea that the person might be faint or
blind, and third bluntly declared
that should she come into her own
drawing-room or elsewhere in her
house and find visitor had taken
such liberty, she would turn on her
heel anil instantly leave the ROOM!
The discussion was reaching warmer
point when small person who lad

Under mothers wings they're nesting:
Baby birds, goodnight.

Little Lammics, soft and white,
With their mothers close beside them;

Bees and butterflies are sleeping
Folded wings no more take flight;
Folded they, until the morrow

In their tinted petals bright:

No Such Thing as Perfect Man.

EXTENDING THE FAIR GROUND
ETC.

\ writer in the Repository who ad
vocates the extension of the Fair
Ground as proposed by the Directors,
talks as though the whole scheme
would not cost much, would be easily
done and work so nice.
This writer evidently is more hope
full than practical. For example, he
thinks the creek would be no obstacle,
for couple of convenient bridges, for
use during the fair, could be placed and
then taken up after the fair and laid
away next time. He does not estimate
the cost of all this, but thinks others
over estimate very much.
Now, if bridges are so convenient
and cheap, and the creek no obstacle
running through the middle of the
Fair Ground, surely the present road
need be no obstacle, and need not be
vacated, for it could be bridged as we'll
as the creek. Why not? The bridges,
too, could be laid away after the fair.
In much counsel there is wisdom, and
we may after all hit upon an accepta-
bic arrangement and keep the old road
where it is. Some have feared that a
Hood might seriously interfere some
time with the fair, but the Rep. writer
has no fear of that, saying the east
branch could be changed to enter the
middle branch more favorably and then
the channel could be cleared of obstruc-
tions, etc, etc, so that he has no fear of
a Hood. He is quite confident in every
thing that he claims, and claims to
know it all!
Well. observation with extended
views is of consequence at arriving at
correct Judgment and forming some
conclusions. Perhaps this writer never
witnessed a flood in the east creek. Had
he seen the food that others have, he
might not talk SO hippantly and with
such assurance. OF course, he makes
no estimate of the cost of straighten-
ing the creek, removing distractions,
etc, etc He talks, however, as though
the estimates given by others as to
changing the road and building two
bridges were far too high. The cost is
not to come out of his pocket, and that
may partly account for it.
