THE RIVAL MlNSTRELS.

Haroun- l-Raschid loved his harem's maids.
He loved his gardens, with their winding
- shades;
He Icysd to watch his crystal fountains plav.
He1crsd his horses and his courtiers gay;
He loved all royal sports that please king.
But most he loved to hear his Ministries sing
And so it happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers to the caliph's court.
Who pleased him best, full well each minstre,
knew,
Would be proclaimed the greater of the two.
So well they pleased him that they found him
loath
To choose between them, for he loved them
both.
LET all the nation judge" at length said he;
"Who pleases best my people pleases me-"
Through all the land the rival poets sung;
Their names and music were on every tong Ne.
Until at last they never reached a door
Where Fame had not sung all their songs be-
fore.
Ben Olaf sang of deeds the caliph wrought,
The riches and the splenoors of his court;
The mighty warriors every nation boasts.
And armies vanQuished by the prophets hosts;
How Islam's valor was beloved and feared:
And when he finished, listening thousands
cheered.
Mustapha's songs were all of simpler things
Forgotten was the nride of earthly kings.
He sang to them of home and truth and love:
How Allah watched his children from above.
Close to their hearts the poets music erept;
And when he finished, all the people wept
For though Ben Olaf charmed them with his
arts,
1t was Mustapha's songs that reached their
hearts.

Why Canned Salmon Is Cheap.

When one comes to think of it it seems
quite wonderful that one should be able
to buy a pound Of salmon in can from
the Pacific coast for twenty-five cents.
The frozen fish costs forty cents pound
at least, while the unfrozen article
ranges in eastern markets from one dol
lar up. Besides, the manner in which
each can is made to contain a segment
of salmon perfectly fitted into it appears
most surprising, the bones, even to tho
larger vertebre, melting in the mouth
without requiring SO much as q crunch
between the teeth and the red flesh sep
arating in beautiful clean flakes.
Yet salmon would be very much
cheaper than at present were it not that
the great Gamers of Alaska have formed
combination to restrict the product.
This is unfortunate for consumers per-
haps, but lucky certainly for the fish,
which would be wiped out altogether
within five years at the most if the COM
panies engaged in their capture had o
market for all they could produce at
profitable rates. The methods employed
are the most destructive conceivable, in
asmuch as the fishermen stretch seines
across the mouths of the rivers and take
the fish which are going up the stream
to spawn. There is law against this
sort Of thing, but it is not enforced.
Eventually, doubtless, the supply of this
valuable fnny game will run out and
artificial propagation will have to be re-
sorted to.-Wa shington Star.

A Much Dreaded Eiy.

The man eating fly of Central Amer
lea inhabits the low lying coast regions,
and is much dreaded by the natives for
the fearful results which follow its
sting. Naturalists call it Lucilia homi-
nivora. The average specimen is about
a third of an inch long. 1t has big
head, with the eyes on top. Its cheeks
are a golden yellow, its abdomen dark
blue with purple bands, its legs black,
its wings unusually big, and they pro-
duce q continuous and loud buzzing
when in motion.
The person bitten. by this fly gets a
disease called myiasis. 1t generally be-
gins with an itching of the nose, then
that organ swells and bleeds; next it be-
comes liberated, and in these ulcers
may be found the Larvae of the fly. The
whole face becomes swollen, erysipelas
sets In, followed by meningitis and
death. One man / knew shot himself
after he had been bitten rather than
face the tortures he knew were certain.
Cure is difficult. Simultaneous injec-
tons of chloroform sometimes do good,
but as often fail. One man l heard of
was cured by lemon juice injected into
his blood.-Interview in New York
Tribune.

Cruel New York Society.


Whoever should write an analysis of
affairs in New York today and should
leave out the strain of social ambition
would miss the most serious thing in the
life of the metropolis. We are apt to
think the hardest thing man can do is
to come to New York, establish a foot
hold and eventually make fortune, as
SO many thousands of country boys have
done. But my observation is that if
you will go to those same men after they
have put the city under their feet, they
will tell you that what they have accom-
plished was nothing as compared with
what they have yet to do-and that is to
get into society. do not mean Meal
listers Four Hundred when I say ''soci-
ety." l mean polite society of any sort.
| mean the entree into any one of hum
dred far more desirable circles than Nc
.Allister's band of self instituted aristo-
Gratis.
The day was when a man had the
entree of any such circle if he was a re-
spectacle man of anyprofession or if he
was rich. That is the case in the smalloE
cities today. ANY doctor, lawyer, judge
or rich man, whose reputation is clean,
can instantly gain admission to the
incest circles In the small cities. But
he cannot do so in New York. The only
sure passport to such circles that know
of in New YSsx today is to be born in
such circle Ssnext best thing is to
boast a commission in the army or navy.
The city is old and rich and suspicious
Of all newcomers. That makes it's Sc.
eiety the most rigid and cruel in Amer

How 1t Feels to Have 2 Lion Bite Yoa.
Mr.. Inverarity, member of the Bonn
bay bar, says: $50 large an animal as q
lion coming at full speed against you of
course knocks you off your legs. The
claws and teeth entering the flesh do
not hurt so much as you would think.
The only really painful part of the bust
ness is the squeeze given by the jaws on
the bone. / felt none of the dreamy
stupor Livingstone describes, but on the
contrary felt as usual. I adopted the
course of lying quite stin, which ] be-
ieve is the best thing one can do, as
you are quite helpless with a heavy ami
NAL on you, and they are inclined to
make grabs at everything that moves,
and the fewer bites you can get of with
the better.
"Al the wounds are centers of infam-
nation and blood poisoning, and the
more you get the less chance you have.
The power of the lions jaws may be in
ferred from the fact that the ioness
that seized me, although it had a
broken jaw, scored deep grooves in the
barrels of my rife with her teeth. Some
claw wounds were mere scratches,
which attribute to the fact that they
clutch at the surface Of your coat, think
ing it is all solid underneath, and 90
reach the flesh pretty late. In fact, my
coat was torn in some places without

Life Lost in War.

DIR. Engel, German statistician, gives
the following as the approximate cost of
the principal wars of the last thirty
years: Crimean war, $4,000, 900, 900;
Italian war of 1859, $500, 900, 900; Prusso-
Danish war of 1864, $35,0O0,00O; war
of the rebelion-north, $5,1OO,000, 600:
south, $4,000, 10000: Prusso-Austrian
war of 1866, $3.50, OOO,O Russo-Turkish
war, $125, 0OO, 900; South African wars,
$s,770,0O0; African war, 81, 25O, zoe;
Servo-Bulgarian, $176, 100000. All these
wars were murderous in the extreme.
The Crimean war, in which few bat
ties were fought, cost 750, 600 lives, only
so, 900 less than were killed or died of
their wounds, north and south, during
the war of the rebellion. These figures,
it must be remembered, are German,
and might not agree precisely with the
American estimates. The Mexican and
Chinese expeditions cost $500, 100000
and $4,000 lives. There We're 100000

Fifty Kinds of Electric Fishes.

According to the statements of the
English naturalist, Professor Stirling,
there are IN existence today upward of
fifty species of fishes having more or less
specialized organs, the function of which
is the generation of electric discharges.
The fishes differ widely, sometimes
strikingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc-
casionally even TO different orders of the
"Pisces." In structure they closely re-
semble the other species of the genera
to which they severally belong, differ
ing from them, with an occasional ex-
ception, mainly in the possession of Or
gans for electric generation.
The we'll known electric rays" for
example, of which Nicholson mentions
three and Guntber six, are the most
prominent. These rays are found in the
Atlantic and Indian oceans and the
Mediterranean sea, and are seen in the
English channel, Or even farther north;
while other electric fishes are still more
cosmopolitan, though most of them in
habit limited areas and warm waters.-
