An Ash,nished Pacha.

Kassim Pasha. when minister of war for
Egypt, was very particular in regard to
the personal appearance of his officers and
issued stringent orders that they should
never appear unshaven in public. One day
he met upon the street lieutenant who
had bearded the pasha and disregarded
his orders ''To what regiment do you be-
longf" demanded the indignant minister.
ITO the - regiment at Abasseuh," re-
piled the frightened lieutenant. Get into
my carriage at once so that / can carry
you to the encanlpment and have you pub
licly punished" was the stern command
which followed.
The young man obeyed, and the twain
rode along gloomily enough for some time,
when the pasha stopped his carriage and
entered an Office where he would be de-
tanned for some time on business Selling
the opportunity the culprS sprang from
the vehicle, darted into q neighboring bar
bers stall, and regained his post before the
return of his jailer, minus his beard. For
the remainder of the route the officer bur
led his face in his hands and seemed the
picture of apprehension.
Abasseuh was reached at last and all the
officers were assembled TO witness the deg
radiation of their comrade, who all the
while kept well in the rear of his chief
"Come forward, you son of dog!" cried
the irate pasha, when theretstepped before
him an officer with face as clean as q
baby's and a look of the most supreme in
nocence. His excelleney gave one look OF
blank establishment, and then, with an ap-
preciative smile breaking over his war
worn features, turned to the assembled
officers and said, Here, gentlemen, your
old minister is fool, and your young lieu
tenant is captain. "-Levant Herald.

A Study of the Mysteries of Life.

In world where it is very desirable to
be entertained and not always easy to find
entertainment there is great deal to be
got out of discreet consideration of the
mysteries of life. They give one something
to theorize about in odd moments, and to
have theories about them gives one an in
terest in whole series and classes of facts
which seem to fit in with such theories or
to upset them If the facts won't fit the
theory, then there is the theory to change,
and to have ones theory driven into new
shape is the next best thing to having it
justified.
There was little tale in the newspaper
the other day about Mr. Edison, that he
held up his finger and bent it and asked,
"What does that?" Failing to get a salts
factory reply. he said he was trying to find
out what is the force that pubs the strings
that make animate creatures move. That
is one of the great Inysterbs-the mys-
terry of motion 1t is that, we are told,
that Mr. Keely, the motor man, has
been brooding over for several decades
past. Mr.. Keely's experience has not been
such as to encourage any poor man to the
orize on this subject for living; never
theless, it is great subject for mind to
dwell upon in its leisure moments.
Sir Isaac was thinking about it when the
apple fell and gave him an idea that was
of value to him. and has been useful ever
since. There is always this advantage
about having ones mind run on something
in particular, that even if it does not bring
down what it is AIMED at, it is. more likely
to hit something else that is worth while
than if wandering aimlessly.

The Electric Eel Is Very Old.

Certain species of electric fishes have
been known from very early times. Occa-
sioually we find people ascribing mystic
rious powers to them, both of good and
evil 1t is certain that the Abyssinians
knew an electric eel and used it ''as rem
edy for nervous diseases" and the Hindoos
and other nations of the east in times past
were also conscious of its powers. Hum
boldt describes an old method of capturing
this eel practiced by the East Indians,
which consisted in driving horses into
waters inhabited by the eel and allowing
the cells to exhaust themselves by attack
ing the horses with their electric organs,
when they were ''easily harpooned by the
Indians" but subsequent travellers in the
same parts where Humboldt says the GUS
tom was practiced have denied the report,
and it is now not generally believed. How
ever, the electric eel has been known to
those people for Enthusiastically.

tn. o,s c,..-en Of ENGLAND.

There are less than a half dozen left of
the songmen who in the, west of England
are the lineal successors of medieval glee-
men. Of some of these old men, who can
neither read nor write, Mr.. Barring Gould
writes that it is amazing what memories
they have. and how correct they often are.
One told me-and I believe he spoke the
truth-that in the old days when he sang
in the taverns he knew over 100 songs, and
his father could tell the titles of 200, which
ne could sing. | have collected about
thirty from this man. He sits in settle
by my hall fire, turns up his eyes, crosses
his hands on his breast and sings. Then
sing after him, and he is most particular
that I should have all the turns right.
You nun give thickey (that) a bit
stronger" he says, and by stronger he
means take tone or sernitone higher he
will not allow the smallest deviation from
what he has to impart.
Its Just no use at ALL" says he, "my
singing to you if you won't follow correct.
Thickey turn came out OF your head, not
minel" Then l must go back again till
have got the tune exact. Il be master
and you be scholar" he says, land scholar
nun larn what he be taught, and larn it
right" Curious old tunes in the minor
key many of them are, certainly not later
than the Fifteenth century. Others of ex-
quisite delicacy modulate from minor to
major and then back again. 81 reckon
that's the beautifullest tune as ever were
sung anywhere" says my master OF some
specially archaic air And notice that he
appreciates the old minor tunes much
more than those in majors. Then he
heaves sigh 81 ha'n't sung he"-by ''he"
he means the song-'I reckon for five and
twenty years till tonight. Lor bless y,
the world be going that wicked the young
chaps don't care for my songs. l reckon
the end O. the world can't be over far off
accordingly"

Es.vnt's Big University.

The biggest university in the world is at
Cairo, Egypt-a country which is not men
toned at all in the statistics-and it has
IL 600 students. They come from every
part of the Mohammedan world, and they
study Mussulman law, history, theology
and other branches needed to confirm them
in the faith OF Mohammed. They sit on
the floor of an enormous court and study
aloud, and the western visitor who calls on
them during study hours thinks that he
has struck the original site of the Tower
of Babel, and that the confused of tongue
haven't stopped talking yet.-New York

sThe care of piano must be begun the
moment the piano enters your house."
piano maker said, land to be effective it
calls for the employment of some good
common sense. If it be an upright piano,
do not stand it close to the wall, unless you
prefer to have the tone muf1ied. 1t will
sound best across corner of the room.
Keep piano in the winter in the coolest
part of the room, not exposed, of course, TO
frost OF dampness The hot sun, particu-
larly when shining on the piano through
glass, will sometimes blister the yarnish.
Neither is it good to keep the instrument
in dark part of the room, as the ivory
KEYS are more likely to grow yellow and
there is also greater danger of moths. -
