NIGHT IN A cARAvANsARY.
The Experience Of . European Guest In an
Astat c Khan.

The Experience of European Guest In an
Asiat c Khan.
We enter Baibourt in whirlwind Of
yellow dust A steep and tawny ridge
of rock rises above it, bearing like a
crest the irregular broken walls and
flanking towers of an ancient citadel,
presumably Of byzantine origin. Fol-
lowing IN the wake of the Persian
arabas, we reach the lofty entrance of
q great caravansary. The carts are
driven under the arch in dark and
foul-smelling stable. A steep and mar
row stairway takes us to an upper
guest-room of the khan. Here we ind
high clay platforms on three sides, di-
vided by low ratings into sleeping
compartments, carpeted with straw
mating, suggestively dingy, clay
fireplace occupies one end, but
our cooking is done outside in
the passage. Halfway down the
dark and unswept stairs a door
opens into the common guest-room and
cafe com bined. Our fellow travellers
have grouped themselves picturesque
ly on the wide platforms. The drivers
and muleteers are mending their multi
colored rags, and the great brass samo-
vars are steaming over the fre-places.
The picture has the rich and btu
minous tone of Teniers, but the high
peaked fur caps are more suggestive of
Russia or Siberia than Holland. / was
not prepossessed by our quarters for
the night at the khan, and ordered my
sleeping-tent to be hung up on the
trembling wooden balcony which jut-
ted over the stable-door. Half the
town assem- bled in the street below to
look up at my preparations for retire-'
ment. My campbell was first taken
inside and unfolded, and as the candle
within made huge transparency of
the tent, the elaborate gymnastics
shadowed upon the walls must have
been vastly entertaining. judging from
the deep murmurs and grurts of salts
faction. The night was far from peace
full, however. The noise and uproar Of
the bazar continued till a late hour.
Two fieas had found an entrance some
where, and Keatings powder had no
terrors for them. The eff1uvium of the
sta BILE below rose through the cracks
in the floor: an injured puppy lamented
plaintively all through the night: and
there were catcalis, and occasionally
the ear-piercing howls of a pack of
street-dogs hunting down an intruder
to the death. Rising above all,
the long-drawn groans and shrill
shrieks of distant oX-carts. When my
candle was extinguished l could see
that my neighbor, shopkeeper oppo-
site, was also sufferer from insomnia;
he had lit his lamp, and crooned to
himself with the wailing cadences of
his race. When the morning light APP
peared we felt that many more such
nights would be sorely trying. and we
inwardly resolved to keep to the tent
and the open country in future, come
what might.-Edwin Lord Weeks, in
Harper's Magazine.

A QUEER PARASITE.
1t Attacks Only the Eye OF Africans VIII
Live on tho West Coast.

1t Attacks Only the Eye OF Africans Who
Live on tho West Coast.
The natives of the west coast oi
Africa are subject to the attacks OF
one of the most remarka BILE parasites
known to the scientific investigator
a colorless, threadlihe worm about two
inches in length, which affects only the
eyeball and the surrounding parts.
There have been at least two of these
queer creatures extracted from the
eyes of suffering huma nifty by Amer
lean physicians-thew worm in each case
having been implanted while the suf-
ferer was visitor to or a resident of
the Gold Coast The creature
usually affects the eyeball itself,
literally swimming about under
the thin membrane of the iris,
but never affecting the vitreous,
aqeous or crystalline humors The
case which furnishes basis for this
note was treated by Or. F. ]. Young
of Bridgeport. Conn, the worm being
removed from the top or outer skin OF
the upper lid. The patient in this case
was lady who had been a missionary
to Africa. She had had one removed
from the other eye while on her way
home bv the noted DR.. Hagler of
Switzerland. She told Dr. Young that
the natives of the west coast wero
solely pestered by the parasites, but
that they seldom attempted to re-
move them, proba bly, on account of the
danger incurred in submitting to an
operation by native surgeon, who
uses nothing but crooked thorn in
dislodging the intruder.-St. Louis Re-

There IL no more childish trick than
the too common one Of boasting. One
encounters it everywhere, particularly
where ones antecedents are not realized
by the listeners. Older people indulge
in it more than their children, who seem
to have a keener sense-in this way-of
the ridiculous. and women are far more
prone to it than men. This is, however.
because they care more for the polnps
and vanities of this world than do men
in general. Ii Il man has a weakness
for fine things. for swell society and
acquaintance. he is pretty snre to allow
his folly to creep ont in the form OF
