Within few years the Spanish gov.
eminent has placed a commemorative
tablet at the entrance of thegrotto where
Cervantes, the author of "Don Quixote"
and his companions in slavery hid them
selves. 1t is on the side of the hill of
HANNA, about three miles south of AL
giers, in picturesque situation and sur.
rounded by an impenetrable thicket.
Cervantes was taken prisoner in 1878
by Barbary corsairs, and fell into the
hands of the renegade Albanian, Deli
Mani. Cervantes and his companions
escaped from Deli Mani, but could not
escape from the country. A brother of
Cervantes was ransomed in 1877, and
promised the captives to send frigate
from Valencia or the Balearic Isles,
which should touch at a point of the
shore agreed upon, and rescue them by
force or strategy.
The place where they took refuge was
near the seashore. A gardener named
Juan, under the direction of Cervantes,
secretly cut out cave, in which the 10
Christian prisoners hid themselves. Juan
watched the neighborhood and allowed
no one to approach the cavern, and an
other slave brought food TO the captives,
who dared leave their hiding place only
at night
After eight days, during which Ger
vantes watched the sea, he saw the frigate
which had come to rescue them. That
evening the frigate approached the land,
but fishermen gave the alarm, and so
many people assembled that the captain
was obliged to go to sea again. He made
a second attempt little later, but unfor.
tunately was captured.
The day after the frigate was taken the
captives were betrayed. Cervantes was
sent to the convict prison, and little
later, just as he was about to be sent to
Constantinople, where the possibility Of
rescue would be lost forever, he was ran.

A Yale professor, who lives on Pros.
pect Hill, has, among other Japanese
curiosities, remarkable antique bronze
bell from an old temple in Japan, where
it was once used by the priests during
their ceremonies, says the New Haven
Palladium.
This bell is cup shaped and about II
inches in diameter and about 10 inche
high. The tone of the bell is remarkably
soft and musical. and single touch will
cause sound continuing for two o,
three minutes.
A remarkable feature about the bell IL
that it resounds when placed on .
cushion with the mouth upward, but
why the support does not arrest the VII
bration is point that has hitherto puz-
zled physicists, and no one who has seen
the bell can explain the phenomenon.

We can not but be struck with the i'm
mense antiquity OF civilization in west.
ern Asia, whence, as a center, trade, art,
and literature spread westward to the
Greeks and Italians, and eastward to In
dia and China. The monuments show
us that at least as early as $500 b. c. dis
tinct civilizations existed in Chaldea, in
Syria, and in Egypt. 1t is true that the
early date which has been assigned to
Menes, by scholars who reckon 80 years
as the average reign of an Egyptian
monarch (whereas the dated reigns often
do not exceed five or six). rests on no Sc.
cure basis, and extravagant estimates.
based on equally unsafe deductions, have
been offered by some of our cuneiform
scholars, who would carry back Aka.
dian civilization TO 1000 B. c.; but these
extravagancies do not discredit the facts
which are deduced from better data, and
which show that even earlier than the
period usually assigned as the time when
the pastoral Hebrew patriarchs found
their way along the Euphrates and
through Syria to Egypt, there were or
ganized States, walled towns, chariots
and horses, riches of gold and silver,
bronze and iron, of corn, wine, and oil,
not only among the Akkadians and in
Egypt, but also in Phenicia and in Pal.

Many reader of the Bible has puzzled
over the allegation that so insignificant
thing as a grain of mustard seed. when
planted, sprang upand became plant in
whose branches the birds of the air found
shelter. The mustard plant of the Allan.
tic coast, foot or two in height. could
not by any stretch of Imagination be
thought capable of sheltering even the
smallest of birds. But when one sees the
vast mustard fields of California the Bib.
tical account is easily understood. The
mustard plant of California shoots up 10
or IS feet in height. A horseback rider
is easily lost in the thicket, while the
branches of the great plants can and do
at times afford shelter for thousands OF
the feathered tribe.--St. Louis Globe
