The Treasury gives out with much
glee that pension payments are fall
Ing off, and that a diminution in the
amount required for that purpose
may be looked for from this time on,
Over 1900 pensioners were stricken

Then why the democratic policy of

The characters in 1.-THE Thousand
and One Nights" may be almost im-
agined to step out of their setting of
words and TO take form and glow with
the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes. The natives still
drink the same coffee and out of the
same cups; they smoke the same pipes;
they wear generally the same dress;
they play the same primitive instru-
ments that whisper the same strange
and plaintive tones; the funeral pro-
cessions wend their way along the
streets as of old; the popular festi-
walls or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
meut; the public reciters still prac-
tice their profession before admiring
crowds; the water carriers still carry
their burdens so welcome to thirsty
lips; except in the houses of the rich
and thoroughly Europeanized food is
still eaten with the fingers and in the
same manner, and the hands are
washed with the same basins and
ewers; the mosque of El-Azhar still,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, at
tracts its crowds of students.
Even the old wooden locks and keys
are still in use, and the water jars are
still kept cool in the lattice work of
the overhanging mushrabiyeh win
dow frames. Instances of this sort
might be multiplied hundred fold
1t is indeed a wonderful change and
contrast that is presented to the eye
when you leave the European and
enter the native quarter. And the
mind and feelings turn in unison and
become attuned TO the changed scene.
The sense of taking part in a new
and different life steals over you, and
you temporarily throw off your affinity
with the west and the nineteenth CEN
fury. The clock of time is for the mo-
ment put back for you.

The hunters of Maine often make
good hauls of honey stored by wild
bees in hollow trees, but sturdy
woodsman of Guilford recently went
his fellow hunters one better in this
branch of forest craft. Having located
a swarm and their hoard, he captured
bees and honey at one swoop. BY OBJ
serving the bees as they came and
went in his clover field he traced their
line of flight, and, following it across
his farm and into the woods about a
mile. he found il led 10 a hollow tree,
the entrance To which was fifteen feet
above the ground Having first taken
a bee hive TO the place, he cut down
the tree, and placed its hoard of some
thirty pounds of honey in the hive,
whittier the bees at once followed 1t,
and made themselves perfectly ut
home. At night he carried home honey
and bees together, and the insects have
since kept on at work laying up wax
and honey in their new quarters.

MADE THE BURGLAR WORK.


Night WatchTnan Terrorized the MaFau-
der with an Unioaded Revolver.
A very large and hopeful burglar,
with gunny sack in which TO carry
away his plumber, pried off the scuttle
cap Of cellar belonging TO the Menlo
Park Manufacturing company the other
night and dropped lightly down into
the vault beneath, says the New York
Herald. When his eyes became aecus-
toned to the gloom he found man
who had heard him coming standing in
a heroic attitude with a revolver pushed
in his face.
The one was the night Waterman
and engineer Of the building up
with your hands, said he, and up the
burglars hands went as if they had
been trained to the business and had
done nothing else all their lives.
The position was a pleasant one for
the night watchman. ALI he had to do
was 10 keep his pistol in position and
wait till morning, when fifty workmen
would rush in, bind the prisoner and es-
eort him in triumph 10 the nearest Jail.
But who was TO look after the fires?
This thought occurred TO him after
about an hour had passed, and the bur-
glars hands had grown white through
holding them up too long and letting
the blood get emptied ont.
See here" said the engineer, III I
turn my back on you to attend TO the
furnaces you'll pick up a bit of coal or
something and hit me a biff on the
head, steal everything in the house and
then go home to your family"
The burglar said nothing, but looked
a lot.
Then" went on the engineer ''if /
don't attend TO the furnaces the place'li
blow up, or the steam'n go down, and
then therell be all sorts of things to
pay"
Better let me go home to me poor
mudder, " the burglar suggested, look
ing hopefully up to the scuttle cap.
That seemed the only way out of it.
The engineer thought and thought,
keeping the revolver cooked the while.
Suddenly he burst out with:
''Sayl Did you ever fire a furnace?''
Nav" quoth the burglar. Lem
me go home TO me mudder."
well, get a move on you, you son of
a pirate. Take that shovel and put the
coal in. Now turn the fires. Don't you
know how to turn fresP Well, you've
got five hours to learn. Hurry up, darn
you, or there's a bullet waiting for you
here IL you don't"
At the point of the revolver the en-
gineer kept the burglar working all
night. When he wasn't busy at the
coal he kept him polishing up the brass
work, and after he had finished the
brassworl1 he made him swab the floor
and empty out ashes. The burglar ad-
mitted that he hadn't done any work
for five years. When the worlkmen
came in the morning and took him off
To the police station he almost tainted
from exhaustion.
The engineer said TO his wife when
he went home: Lucky thing all
round. isn't it, that that blamed bur
glar didn't notice my pistol wasn't
