COnVicts of Abyssinia.

In Abyssinia political offenders and
obstructiOnists are arrested, chained
and placed on the small table land of
Abba Sal%ma, a high, rocky and precip-
itous mountain about thirty miles from
Adowa. So sheer and steep are its
sides that the prisoners are drawn up
by ropes. Their chance of escaping is
impossible. unless they run the risk of
dashing themselves into eternity on the
rocks below. On this lonely height
there is soil on which they may grow
grain, and there are wells with good
water. There is no speaker to keep or
Ger. and they may, if they choose, abuse
the prime ministers and crowned heads
to their hearts content, but they return
no more to the ways of the world

Two FavoriteS

Now there are two poets whom feel
that can never judge without a favor
able bias. One was Spenser, who was
the first poet | ever read as a boy, not
drawn to him by any enchantment of
his matter or style. but simply because
the first verse of his great poem was
A gentle knight was p~ricking on the plain,
and | followed gladly, wishful of adj
venture. OF course | understood moth
ing of the allegOry, never suspected it,
fortunately forme, and am surprised to
think how much of the language | I'M
derstood. At any rate, l grew fond of
him, and whenever l see the little brown
folio in which | read, my heart warns
to it as to "a friend Of my childhood.
With MarlOwe it was otherwise. With
him | grew acquainted during the most
impossible and receptive period Of my
youth. He was the first man of genius
| had ever really known, and he natur-
ally bewitched Inc. What cared | that
they said he was a deboshed fellow? nay,
an atheist? To me he was the voice of
one singing in the desert, of one who had
found the water of life for which | was
painting, and was at rest under the
palms. How can he ever become to me
as other poets are?-James Russell Low

Preliminary to the BAPTISM.

When Bishop Goe, of Melbourne, was
a curate a famous ~pugilist in the parish,
who went by the name Of Jim the Slog-
ger and who had never darkened a
church door, called at the parsonage
asking him to baptize the baby. Ac-
cordingly the bishop repaired to Jim's
house, but was surprised on being ad-
mitted to see jim lock the door and
pocket the key. BE you the parson
come to sprinkle my kid:' he asked. On
the bishop asserting, he continued, yer
can't sprinkle that kid till you and me
has had a fight, parson."
The unfortunate parsOn protested, but
finding protest useless stood up to
Jim. The battle went for the bishop,
and jim. pulling himself from the floor,
muttered, He's the parson for me-"
The baptism was proceeded with and,
as the story goes, Jim took to church
going from that day.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A C Clerk.

Half a century ago a clerk in New
York city was wont TO take down the
shutters of the store at precisely6 o'clock
in the morning. While he was taking
them down, rain or shine, a certain old
gentleman almost always passed by on
his way TO his place of business. The
old gentleman smiled so benignantly
upon the young man that a hearty and
familiar good morning" became nat
ural to both.
Month after month this mutual greet
ing continued, until one morning the old
gentleman was missed and he never ap-
peared again. He was dead. Not long
afterward the e%nterprising and faithful
clerk was waited upon by the admins
traitor of the old mans estate and in
formed that his store and stock of goods
had been willed to him.
Attracted by the youths promptness
and fidelity, the old gentleman had in
quired into his character and circum-
stances and was satisfied that he could
leave his property to no one so likely to
make good use of it ss the clerk who
took down the shutters at just 6 o'clock,
summer and winter.
Through this legacy the clerk was in
troduced into a profitable business at
the most wealthy, benevolent and re-
spected merchants of the city.-Youth's
Companion.

A METROPOLITAN WILDCAT.
A City ans Remarkable Experience
with "A Strange Pussy.

a City WON ms Remarkable Experience
with a Strange Pussy.
a New York woman had an expert
ence a few nights ago which she will
not soon forget-one which, considering
her environment, was very surprising.
Her home is a ground apartment, occu-
pying two floors, however, in one of the
high class apartment houses in Fifty
ninth street overlooking the park. The
library is on the second floor, and in
this room she vas seated one night
when a peculiar noise from the family
parrot, who was in his cage in an oppo-
site room. attracted her attention.
Thinking the bird was merely rest
less and wanted his cage covered, she
picked up a soft wooden couch cover
and started across the hall. At the
threshold Of the second room she saw
crouching on the top of the parrots
cage a gray cat, which had succeeded
by his weight and clawing in inclining
the cage almost TO the tipping angle,
poor Poll meanwhile travelling up and
down the upper side in a frenzy of
fright. The unequal struggle could not
nave lasted man seconds longer, and,
urged by the crisis. though really
alarmed at the unusual size and fierce
appearance of the cat, Polls mistress
advanced into the room shaking the
couch cover and attempting, after the
manner Of women, to ''shOO" the cat
away.
She had half crossed the apartment
when the animal made a spring at her,
and but for her quick movement in
covering her head with the couch cover
which she held her face would have re-
ceived the brunt of the attack. AS it
was, the cat clawed violently for an in
slant at the mass of woolly material in
which he was enmeshed; then, aided by
the desperate push which the now ter
rified woman gave him, leaped to the
floor and dashed into the library.
Mrs. - recovered her senses and
closed the door between herself and the
cat, then violently rang the bell for as
s~istance. The maids responded and,
after carrying Poll to a place of safety
in a remote room, an attempt was made
to diSlOdgc the cat from the library. At
sight of her pursuers the creature began

screen with force enough to break it,
knocking over bric-a-brac and loose
books, and ending by scaling the win
dow casing as if it were a tree and run
ming ont on the bare curtain pole. From
this high perch he glared down at those
beneath him until Mr.. IS arrival
shortly afterward. He was then prod
ded down and leaped through a window
opened for him to the pavement below,
darting off to the park as soon as he
reached the ground.
Policemen and others familiar with
Central park say that stray city cats
often find homes in it's sequestered
hooks, growing wild and raising prog
eny that become almost as fierce and
terrible as a genuine wildcat. In this
instance the animal was doubtless driven
from its haunts by hunger, and, getting
in on the ground floor, was attracted up
stairs TO the parrots cage by the scent
Of the bird and its food.-Her Point of
View III New York Times.

Defining a Cocktail in Court.

Curiosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
mistress of the land and sea-" her peo-
pie wOrshiped a black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, ever in
this form Of worship. In order to be an
object of mad alteration it was neces-
sary that the bull calf be born with a
circular white spot in the exact center
of his forehead, and the advent of such
a creature in any herd was the signal of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean tO the border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late as the time of Cleo
patra, "star eyed goddess, glorious sor-
ceresS Of the Nile" such animals were
shod with gold and had their horns
tipped with the same metal. Herodotus
Tells Of a man who died with grief be-
