THE SuLTAN's WATCH.
Story of Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.

'sWhile on board the s,1ltan's yacht, :"
writes Hermann in the North Amer
lean Review, IL noticed that he had a
magnificent watch, which he consulted
and handled as if it were the apple of
his eye. This, Of course, was a good
thing for me, for, since was perform

etiquette to take anything from the
audience asked the sultan to take
out his watch and show it to me. which
he did. I then said: Will your inn

watch overboard?'
HE laughed at first, but second
afterwards his brow darkened, and he
looked little bit as if he were Of
Tended with me for making the re-
quest.
eff said I, Il do not return the
watch to you exactly as you give it to
me. you can put me in irons for the
rest of my life
"The sultan looked me in the eye
with piercing glance and then handed
the watch to me- instantly threw it
into the ripping waves of the Bos-
porus.
The yacht careened over, for every
individual. from the cabin boy to the
sultan himself, rushed to the side and

not so much with establishments as with
pure disbelief in my ability to recover
the watch, which was not only one Of
the things in the world the sultan
liked. but was worth a great deal
more than any watch had ever seen.
Fortune favored my fishing. for in
few minutes drew up a sinner on

every Turk, from the sultan and his
blue-blooded pashas to the sailors in
the forecastle, sent up one howl Of de-
light

trick was done, but that is his own
affair.

Brinkley laughed.

William Jones, too, escaped legal

And Matt?
Well, her title to Monkshurst and
the property was fully proved. For a
long time she did not realize her good
fortune, but gradually the pleasant
truth dawned upon her in a sunrise Of
nice dresses, jewelry and plenty of
money. Chancery stepped in like q
severe foster parent and sent her to
school. There she remained for several
years: but Charles Brinkley, who had
first taken in hand the vindication of
her claims, and who never ceased to
be interested in her, saw her from
time to time and took particular note
of her improvement in her grammar
and in the gentle art of speech.
"Matt.'. he said, when they met last
Christmas in London. and when he
saw before him, Unsteady of towsy

Parsee Funeral Rites.

When a Parsee dies the mourning
color is white. The body is wrapped
in white and the mourners, as they go
to the burial place, are clothed in
white. Two by two they walk behind
the wllite-robed corpse as it is carried
to the ''tower of silence" which is it's
final resting place. This is large
stone tower. on which the body is
placed and left to be eaten by the
eagles. There are five such towers in
Bombay, though but one is much used.
The eagles will devour a body in a
single day. and the big birds constant
ly hover Tn large numbers about the
''tower of silence They are treated
as if they were sacred birds. lis this
form of burial good one from a sani-
tary standpoint?' was asked Of a
Parsee.
I'VE believe it is. Cremation is
doubtless the best from this stand
point, but in India the people are SO
poor and fuel is SO scarce that the Hin
dus are not able to practice cremation
universally. Moreover. the Parsee be-
lieves it better to be eaten by birds
than by worms. Burial in a grave is
repulsive to US. N. Y. Times.
The Green Forest tribune., 1893-06-29

Twice within the past week to
our sorrow we have been almost
eye witnesses to an awful result
from excessive drinking. Editor
Farmer of Conway at Fort Smith
was the first who met terrible
death by his drinking, while the
other instance was none other than
that of Mr.. Morris, in the midst of
cur own dear homes. May these
serve as warning both to the
drinkor .and to the men who han
die the death dealing stuff. Such
examples force US to exclaim:
tWould to God that every intoxi-
cant was now and forever wiped
out OF existence" It is certainly
time Tor US, both Individually and
collectively, to pause and consld-
or whittier are we drifting! If no
greater esult can be accomplished
let US hope, work and pray for the
freedom OF our hom es in this respect.
