the de1ilo Of the hills down which Dari-

way, too: the Turk came. Behind are
the Anatolian hills, and eastward the
greater sweep Of the ocean channel of
the Bosporus, with Therapeia and Buy

and, far Oh the horizon, the sea rock of
the Euxine. The enthusiastic president
says that the view toward the west is
the finest in the world Perhaps. GO
and see for yourself, and so in June. Go
at midnight at the full of the moon and
look and listen on that noble terrace, as
the river sweeps around the base of the
hills, flooded with dreamy light and
singing the low and mighty chant of
the tides, as vessels glide, noise1ess, up
and down with ghostly sails; as the
white palaces Oh the shores CLEAN like
cubes of solid silver, and the green hills
cut sharp against the eastern sky, and
the nightingales are singing.

Napoleon's Slight to Plus VII,

In due time the venerable traveller
reached Fontainebleau. As the pope had
come to Paris and the emperor had not
as OF old gone to Rome SO by another
reversal the prodigal SOD had this time
come out to meet his spiritual father
He was in hunting costume, and seemed
by accident to meet the pope's carriage
as it traversed the forest. Against his
loud protestations the successor of St.
Peter alighted with satin shoes and robes
OF state upon the muddy ground. But
the emperor, though a prodigal, was not
repentant, for after his first ELUSIVE
greeting little acts Of contemptuous dis
courtesy-such, for example, as himself
taking the seat Of honor in the carriage
which they entered together-showed
that this late successor of Charles the
Great was no second Henry Nv, who
thought crown we'll worth mass, but
an Otto or Henry III, determined to
assert the secular supremacy against any

Training Bees as Letter Carriers.

An apiculturist has commenced train
ing bees for letter carrying purposes.
After few preliminary trials, he says,
he took hive Of them to the house of a
friend four miles distant. After some
days, when tie bees had become famil-
lar with their new surroundings, some
Of them were liberated in room, where
they soon settled on a plate Of honey
which had been especially prepared for
them. While they were busy eating it
their trainer placed Oh their backs tho
tiniest of dispatches, fastened with the
thinnest Of thread, and so arranged them
as to leave the head and wings absolute
ly free. They were then thrown into
the air, and soon arrived at their own
home with the letters on their backs.
The writing was magni6ed and quite

Of their attacks
One man for years was always warned
of coming fit by a sensation of thump-
ing or beating in the chest, which grad
ually extended to the head. Then two
pulsating lights appeared, which seemed
to draw nearer. In an instant these
were gone, and i'll their place was the
figure Of an aged woman wearing red
cloak, and always the same in appear
ance and dress, who offered tho patient
something that had the odor of Tonquin

Another case cited was that Of q wom-
an whose attacks We're invariably pre-
coded by a vision of London lying in
ruins, the channel Of the Thames being
emptied Of water III order to receive the
rubbish of the destroyed city, and the
patient believing herself to be the only
survivor of all it's inhabitants.
Still another patient always seemed
to himself, just before all attack, to

He Obeyed Orders.

A young man, just arrived from
Wales, recently obtained a situation as
waiter in large public house in Man
chester. All went we'll with Taffy from
the Monday Oh which he started until
the Thursday following, when the man
ager told him to go and clean the lamps
outside the house.
Tatfy took ladder and cleaning rags
and cleaned the four big lamps outside
the house, and farther on he saw several
other lamps and went on cleaning them,
first on one side of the road and then Oh
the other, until the manager began to
wonder at Taffy being so long and went
outside to look for him, but to his as.
tonishment Taffy could not be seen any
where about
A few hours after Ta1fy came in with
his bucket empty and told the manager
that he wanted more water as he had
several more lamps to clean. The man
ager asked him where the ladder was,
and Taffy told him he had left it stand
ing against lamp about mile up the
road. He had been cleaning every gas
lamp in the street -Pearson's Weekly

The ROSTERS Crow.

The crow Of these birds, which may
seem to the unobservant a very UNMARRIED
sound, discloses to those who have low
ingly studied them at least half dozen
distinct notifications. In the f1edgling
male who just begins to feel the spirit
Of his kind, and who goes through his
performance in the adolescent way, it is
cheap and often pitiful call. From the
open roost in the trees, where the birds
are gradually aroused by the slow COM
ing day, we can often hear the note Of
the half awakened cock, as full of the
sense Of slumber as the speech Of a sleep
ing man. AS the creature gradually
awakens his cry becomes more resonant,
until it has the true morning ring.
Brave as is this note of the full day, it
is not to be- compared with the Growing
Of a gamecoch, the most splendid brag-
CART sound of all the animal world. -

witches Were Red Haired.

: Westpha1ian witches Were Red Haired.
.Soest, in Westphalia, Prussia, was the
Salem Of the European witch burning
era, and, by the way, the witchcraft de-
fusion lasted for three Or four centuries
longer there than it did in the benighted
burg in the: colony of Massachusetts bay.
The Judicial tribunal before which all
Westphalian witches were forced to ap-
pear was called the vehm:gericht and
was composed Of the most superstitious
set of bigots in the province. The trees
are still standing under which this
witch trying congress regularly met on
the commons of Soest and the records
of their proceedings are still to be found
in the archives at the town hail.
One of the most noticeable things in
these queer old records of the days of
bigotry and blind superstition is the
fact that the pages upon which are writ
ten the proceedings Of cases in which
the accused were condemned to the
stake are all adorned with locks of the
culprit's hair The individual hairs of
this queer collection of tufts exhibit all
the variations usually noticed in such
assortments, being long and shor5,
coarse and fine and straight and curly.
In one very characteristic feature, how
ever, that Of color, all the locks have
the same general appearance, being uni
formly red.
It is passing curious, to say the least,
that in country where red hair does

as to the origin Of the potato, writes
John Gilmer Speed in Ladies' Home

native Of Virginia, and in Spain it was
said to have originated in Peru. Mod
ern opinion holds that it is indigenous
to the elevated table]ands of Chile,
Peru, Bolivia, Costa RIGA, Mexico and
southwestern United States. It probably
got to Virginia by the hands Of some
early Spanish explorers. Tt is certain,
however, that it was not cultivated il
Virginia till far into the eighteenth cen
