Toward the middle OF the fifteenth cen.
fury poor Arab was travelling in Abys.
sinia. Finding himself weak and weary he
stopped near grove. Being in want of
fuel to cook his rice he cut down tree,
which happened to be covered with dried
berries. His meal being cooked and eaten,
the traveller discovered that these half
burned berries were fragrant. He collected
a number, and on crushing them with a
stone he found the aroma increased to a
great extent.
While wondering at this he accidentally
let the substance fall into can which con.
tanned his scanty supply of water. Lo,
what miraclei The almost putrid liquid
was partially purified. He raised 1t to his
lips. 1t was fresh and agreeable, and after a
short rest the traveller SO far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able to resume
his Journey.
The lucky Arab gathered as many berries
as he could, and having arrived at Alden in
Arabia he informed the multi of his discov.
cry. That worthy was an inveterate opium
smoker, who had been suffering for years
from the influence of the poisonous drug
He tried an infusion OF the roasted berries
and was SO delighted at the recovery of his
former vigor that in gratitude to the tree
he called IL camuha, which In Arabic signi

Paris has number of very peculiar clubs
at the present time, more perhaps than any
other city. Its deaf mute club has been
frequently spoken of by tourists. 1t is ex-
actly what it processes to bean association
OF deaf and dumb men, all of them com
paratively wealthy.
1t is usual for man thus afflicted, and
who is In a position to retain staff OF do
mestics, to retain these as interpreters, but
In this club there is no pandering to mod.

he or she has lost tho power to either speak
or hear.
AS a result the establishment is as silent
as the tomb and is an exceedingly unpleas

Sunday morning opened bright and
pleasant, la fact. had the appearance
OF bright sunshiny day. The family
sat around the breakfast table ut q
boarding house In our city. Ono
young married lady who had grown
4 up and had seen the sun rise from the
banks Of the romantic Susquehanna
said: Now 1t Is sunshine, but we
will have rain before night" Agen-
tleman OF the party rather rldieuled
the idea, with the air SO balmy aud the
run out in all Its Drilliancy. The lady
then proceeded to verify her assertion
by means Of poetry. She said:
when the sun In tho morning Is red.
Twill rain before night lis suid."
The gentleman laughed and replied:
Mrs. -, think there is more rhyme
than reason in your poetry. She then
replied, You will see." The gentle
man kept looking for the rain, but up
to midnight it had not arrived, thus
proving the expression. More rhyme
than reason" -..-..

Not long afterward this same person had
the misfortune to break two washbowls In
one week by humping them against the end
of the washstand in his summer home In
the country. He decided that 1t would be
cheaper and better to initiate the city plan
of using fixed bowl with plug In tho
bottom. In his mind he planned mere
frame of hard. polished wood, to be sup
ported on plated metal brackets and to have
big bowl sunk in the shelf, with plug
In the bowl and a slop Jar underneath.
When this idea was explained to member
of a wholesale firm in the plumbing trade,
he remarked: y should not wonder II Ii
would be a good thing to make a lot Of
those stands. People can't have running
water In the country, but that is the very
next thing to having II. believe you have

with an order for bathtub on wheels, but
he did not think that would recommend it.

this are given to favored friends. Always
