An Extraorainary story which Cosaes All
tise Wy from smyrna.


A few DAYS back two Greeks present.
ed themselves at the palace of the grand
rabbi OF Smyrna and asked to see him
on very important business. The VEN
cradle Abraham Palacci being unwel,
they were asked to come another day.
Next day they called again; the rabbi
not having yet recovered, his son, man
of forty-fve, learning that their bust
ness was urgent, asked if they could not
explain it to him. After some desultory
conversation they consented, at the same
time reuuest ting to be conducted to some
remote apartment whore there was nc
danger of being overheard. This being
done, one of them said to him: Every
one has his particular religion; we are
aware that part of yours is to offer at
Easter Christian child in sacrifice; now
we are ready. for the sum of 81, 400, &c
furnish you with fine, plump and
healthy Christian child, little Greek
girl four years old, for your sacrifice,
and the child shall be obtained in such
a manner as to insure the most profound
secrecy" The rabbits son, as may well
be supposed, was Thunderstorm at the
proposal, but he dissembled his feelings
and stated that before he could enter
into any definite ARRANGEMENTS with
them it was necessary he 'ould consult
his father. They having assented to
this, he withdrew to his fathers room
and briefly related to him the story OF
the grim proposal. Speaking in the He
brew tongue, for fear the men outside
should understand, the father told him
to dispatch a messenger speedily to the
headquarters of the police, requesting
the chief of police to send i'm mediately
an officer with body of gendarmes, and
then to go back and keep the Greeks,
under the pretense of discussing the
price of their crime. Emin Etfendi
speedily answered the summons, and on
the arrival of the zaptiehs the rabbi
posted them behind a door concealed by
a heavy curtain and sent word to his
son that the men had come, this mes

Superstition of the Red Mouse.

According to Grimm it is the DEVILS

runs in the shape of red mouse. Thus
we are told that in Thuringia a servant
girl fell asleep while her companions
were Smelling nuts, when they observed
little red mouse creep out of her part
ed lips and run out of the window. One
of those present shook the sleeper, but
not succeeding in awakening her, moved
her to another room. Presently the
mouse returned to where the girl had
been sitting, but, not finding her,
vanished. The girl died instantly. A
miller cutting frewood in the Black
Forest fell asleep over his work. His
companion saw a mouse creep out OF
his mouth and run away. Others were
called and thorough search made for
the mouse, but it could not be found.
The miller never awoke. In Bohemia
it was formerly considered dangerous to
sleep while thirsty, as the soul was sure

Swans, Falcons, Eagles and Ravens Live to
Good Old Age.
The swan is the longest-lived bird,
and it is asserted that it has reached
the age of three hundred years. Knauer,
in his work entitled ''Naturhistoriker,
states that he has seen a falcon that
was 1872 years old. The following ex-
amples are cited as to the longevity OF
the eagle and vulture: A sea eagle cap
tured in 1715, and already several years
of age, died 104 years afterward, in 1919;
a white-headed vulture, captured in
17O6, died in 1926 in one of the avlaries
of Schoenbrunn castle, near Vienna,
where it had passed lis years IN cap
tivity.
Parroouets and ravens reach an age
of over one hundred years. The life OF
sea and marsh birds sometimes equals
that of several human generations

be very old in a state of freedom, but
