A Strange Resurrection.

of going to see, said II. c. Deakins. "a
short distance from the river at the foot
of the mountain six poplars are growing,
the place enclosed being in the shape of a
colin. For about six feet from the
ground the six trees have a common trunk
or rather root, as it seems as if the six
trees in the enclosed space had all united
solidly. and had grown out OF the ground
carrying the earth above them up along
TO the height named. On climbing on top
of this common trunk, IL is found that
these poplars must have been planted
around childs grave. The enclosed
space is about four feet long and the green
grass is growing in the earth there. At
one end is a grave stone with an inscrip-
ton on il, which. however, is worn by
time. A part of it is broken of by the
wear and tear of time, although it might

A Left-Handed Balance.

A genius of the feminine gender had
an account with bank which closed
its doors during the late panic. The
lady, Who is only one degree more fond
of spending money than she is of keep
ing it, felt that the injury to her
packet was more than she could bear.
After sore tribulation she made her
way through the closed doors up to the
inner sanctum of the officers of the
bank. Before these gentlemen she
proceeded to lay her grievance, which,
according to her, was greater and more
narrowing than the combined griev.
ances of all the other depositors. No
representation of their present power
lesspess over the bank funds had the
smallest effect and when she clinched
her argument by foods of tears the

The thin-skinned woman--or man
either for that matter-is greatly to be
piticd rather than hlamcd for she is
hardly more responsible for having a
representative nature than for having
tow-co, orGd hair or no hair vt all, and
the nature is perhaps less within her
sewer of discrimination. But there are
several charges to be brought against
her She is--and this is charge
brought, often unjustly, against all
womenT-leastmerciful to her own kind.
Sensitive people are as rule sarcastic
All the great satirists have been thin
skinned men like the author of 'The
Duncad" who is said to have thrown
iavcins like giant, and writhed un.
der the arrows of dwarfs. The ability
TO say little things is almost always
accompanied by a morbid sensi'
tiveness to the bitter things said by
others, The most scathing critics are
often more lacking in philosophical
good nature or stoicism under similar
fire. So after all thin-skinned people
carry their own punishment with them,
and, however trying they may be to
more healthy natures, are greatly to
be commiserated Their tender cpl

dimly lighted from above by sparsely
hung lamps.
About thirty or forty women, in their

In the dim light these PROSTATE
heaps shrouded in their white wells,
looked ghostly enough. The whole

screen the voice of the priest broke

the name of Allah fell upon their ears,

themselves to and fro, after the man
ner ofworshipers in a mosque, lay their
faces in the dust.
My friend, the pasha's daughter, was
good enough to sit upon the staircase
by my side and act as chorus, instead
of joining in the performance. After
she had explained that "Moise" and
"Jesu Christ" and "Mohammed" were
all acknowledged by her faith to have
been divinely inspired, but not divine

Mohammedan theory of paradise

1t did one good to see the scorn of the
pasha's daughter at this suggestion.
She impaired it in Turkish to the
Misunderstanding Mrs. Djevdet Pasha,

robe of the latter slipped off her broad
shoulders for the twentieth time.
When they had done laughing they
informed me that there was no greater
