Ben Ali is dead" he said,
In the Austrian Array.

The polyglot character of the Aus, trian army was abundantly shown the other day when the ancient custom Of solem3ly swearing in the recruits in the presence Of the troops was revived, after having been discontinued since 1868. In Vienna alone the formula of cath to the colors had to be admins tered and read out in nine languages, to-wit: German, Hungarian, Croatian, Bohemian, Polish, Rutherian. Rou- manian, Servian and Turkish, while the religious part of the ceremony was conducted by Roman Catholic. Greek Catholic and Creek orthodox priests, Protestant pastors, Jewish rabbis and Gahometan ulema.

The SuparstitioEs Turk.

There is no land on earth where more superstitions prevail than that of the unspealzablc Turk. Some of them are interesting. Ifby any chance a sparrow ol swallow flies in the window and cir cles three times around the room it is a sign that blood relation of some one present is about to die. There arc many signs and happenings that are supposed to predict marriage. For in- stance. if q horse sncoZcs when a young girl passes in the street she is positive that her time is nearly come. If her hair becomes unfastencd she knows that she will soon be sought for. and if she goes to cat peach and finds it's uerncl split she is equally certain that she will soon bc welded.

kLLBEN-ALl, THE CO5BLER.
How He Lost His Wives and His Faith at
 tho rn1no Time.

Ai-Ben-Ali was and is renegade. He believes in three gods, and drinks spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also believes that women have souls and that, while there are many houris in heaven, there are more in hell. When the muGzzin calls to prayer he puts his thumb to his nose and spreads his fin gers out, which is his Turkish way of expressing dcrision. Once upon time he owned seven slaves, four of whom were white. Great men were lis friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says Vance Thompson in the New York Ad- vcrtiser.
 He might have been 8 happy man to this day had it not been for that devil of an Alcibiadcs. Ali-ben-Ali was sit ting on his feet, looking through the open door out on the blue waters of tho Bcsporus and the low sandy shore beyond when the Creek came up. He was low-browed Creek. He was peddling slippers with long red points which curlcd over like rams horns Ali was absorbed in thinking of his seven female slaves. He kicked the Greek in the back violently two or three times, but otherwise ignored his presence.
 The subtle Greek departed. Under his low brow he devised this revenge. lie wrote letter to tEe sultan.
 "Wo'u see about this said the sul- tan. ''Mcsrour, off with Ben Ais head and bring me his seven nice wives"
 Mesrour returned in half an hour, the seven slaves, of whom four were white, trailing after him.
 Ben Ali is dead" he said.
 Ncsrour lied. Ben Ali. by bribes. had sccurcd his escape and, disguised as bale of tobacco, was stored away in hold of a vessel bound for New York. He is in New York now to prove that this tale is no lie. He c0bhles shoes. At times hc drinks strong spirits. Then he curses thc com mandcr of the faithful and AIcibiadcs, the low -browed Greek. The sultan is a Mohaumedan, and him Ben AI4 purses: the Crock is . Christian and is cursed of Ben Ali.

 An clG .-- ron. er.-ae.cd for tl:c mo- rcnt ia directing 2 cold roast quail, a-d rse7 irr. | nnat be confessed, only sa ird.1-> ->r--t iob of it. had been lis ta-s;-~ incidentally to the corvcr -1tioD of h.. table companions who were dis cussinr to calnncss and ncrve dis played by the average practitioncrdUr- ing surgical operations, sa.-5 the I'cN Tor, Herald. Both agreed that the poiee and coolncss shown by surgeons 2t times vrcre extraordinary and hard to understand.
 '-iozv, friends, if you will permit xle, {" interrupted the surgeon at this point. ''i Eouj1 lie to tell you that tAeTc is nothing extraordinary about it. The nerve G5 you call 1t, of the surgeon under such circumstances is tia nost natural thing in the world. It is not 3 display of calnincss which has been put on for that occasion, or all exhibition of couragc summoned up for ax unusual emergency, but simply the normal dcIncanor cf 8 practical, nattcT-cf-fact nan wLo knows what hc has to do and how he ia going to do it.
 ''The trouble with many people who r0arvel at what they cali q surgeons courage is that they fail utterly to eouprchend the conditions under vsich he performs his work. They imagine that he iG experimenting, or tliat ne doesn't know his ground, or tlao he will cut something that he ourll. not to cut. Nothing could be further from the facts. No movement in science or mechanics i3 preceded by a more accurate forclznowlcdgc of it's results than the average operation iii sur. '. There Is no such thing as guesswcrk about it. The operator knows he is performing an operation which is based upon an exact science. He follows rules which apply to all cases, and is aecure in the confidence thst causes which have produced cer- tain effects in given instances will do So in all others
 "iyhy, then, should there be any need in his work for extraordinary courage? There are cases, of course, so critical or 50 unusual as to excite even the c2lncst and most eelf-coI taincd operator, and when these are under treatment the surgeons powers of sclf-control are frequently taxed to their utmost limit To the man who, in such a case, can wicld the knife without e trcmor, when life itself de- bends upon the accuracy and delcacy of his touch, VIC must award the praise due to real heroes. But il the aver age case, say of amputation or of skull fracture involving cranial operations, the surgeon neither needs nor possesses more than the courage of au intelli- gent, sincere man, who knows his duty and has learned how to perform it. His technical knowledge of anatomy and it's 1nethodical habit of work Gc- custom him t0 conditions which alarm ard excite non professional minds, and he goes about his task with certain quiet, vigorous, asscrtive confidence in the result of his movements which tho observer is quite likely to mistake for a marvellous courage suLlI~Olcd up for that particular occasion. 1t is courage of certain sort, confess-the cour- age Of absolute confidence in the in- ssllibility of the science he repre- sents"

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
 

Insects.
 As we all know. there arc day-bloom- ing and night-blooming flowers, says the Cornhill Magazine. The former lay themselves out for the fertilizing visits of bees and butterflies; they arc generally deckcd in red, blNe, yell low or purple, and have often finesAspots or markings On their petals which point to the nectaries and so act as honey guides. The night-blooning flowers. on the other hand, lay them selves out for the visits of moths or other crepuscular insects. and therefore have recourse to something lilcc the tactics of the freilies and the glow-wOrms They are usually pure white and the petals are often of such peculiar tex ture that they seem to glow with in- ternal light in the dim shades of evcn- ing. At times ono might almost fancy they were stained by nature with some curious fCrerunner of luminous paint, so strongly do they reflect every invisible ray of the faint twilight. They thus succeed in catching the eyes of moths, which. of course. are es- pecially modified for receiving and per ceiving the slendcr stimulus of dusk and the glo2ming.
 But the nocturnal flowers have no lines or spots, because these last could never be perceived in the gray gloom of evening. They make up for it, how ever, by being heavily scented; indeed, almost all the strong white flowers, like jessa mine, tubcrose, gardenia, stephanotis, cercus and syringa, which are such favoritos with florists, belong to niGht-biooming plants, specially adapted to attract the eyes and noses of night-lying insects.

Too Good E joke.

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was once tempted to sum up ironically. It was the case of q burglar who had been caught, having entered from the roof and taken the precaution to leave his boots on top. His defense was that he was in the habit of taking midnight strolls on the roofs of houses, and that he was tempted by curiosity to have a look at one of the interiors Lord Bowen said, sarcastically: If, gentle men of the jury, you think it probable that the prisoner considered the roofs of the houses a salubrious place for an evening walk; if you suppose that the temptation to inspect the interior of the houses beneath him was the out come of Q natural and pardonable curi- osity, in that case, of course, you will acquit him, and regard him as a thoughtful and considerate man, who would naturally remove his boots be- fore entering the house, and take every precaution rot to disturb his neighbors." To the judges amazement, the jury took him at his word and ac- quilted the prisoner. Lord Bowen never attempted to joke with jury again.

THE AUTHOR OF "SPARTAcUS.'
Composed by Elijah Kellogg When a Stu
 dent at Andoyer.

dent at Andover.
 Talking with correspondent of the Boston Herald Rev Elijah Kellogg, of 1Iarpswell. Me. thus described how he wrote that favorite Reclamation of school boys: ''Spartaeus to the Gladia- tCrS':
 1t was while l was at Andover, '' said he. smiling as the remembrance of the event came back to hlm. We were required to prepare speeches for our rhetorical exercises. and after each man had spoken he was subjected to criticisms by his fellows-and their comments weren't always so compli- mentary as they were pointed. Then the professor would follow with seri- ous criticism, and he always found faults that needed correcting.
 ''So these speeches came to be looked upon with dread. and at last made up so different from anything we had had and so interesting that it would hold their attention too closely for them to think about points on which to criti- else me, and Sc l would get off free.
 Well. wrote 'Spartacus.' When I began it worked just as I had ex- pected. They were 60 taken by sur prise that they never thought of any thing but the speech. You could have heard a pin drop at any time while was speaking, and they did not recover until I had finished and had come down to ask for criticism.
 linen when Prof. Payne turned to the students and inquired: What criticism have you to offer. young gen. tlemen?' there wasn't one of them had q word to say, for they were all think ing of the piece and hadn't noticed anything else.
 'Gentlcmen,' said the professor, we are net here for theological dis quisitions nor for learned arguments, but these exercises are purely rhetor- ical. and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric.
 Then, turning to me, he remarked; T could criticise you, Kellogg, but don't know whether it would do you more good CT harm, and so, on the whole. think will say nothing.'
 ''So," added the oll gentleman, with Q chucllle, II escaped criticism"

 Year to the Liquidation of Debts.
 Nobody in Germany has felt the evil effects of the agricultural depression more keenly than has Bismarck. To persons who have read of the rnagnifi cent presents given to Bismarck by the old emperor it has been surprise to learn recently that his estates are heavily nortgaged. His present from the old emperor after the Austro-Prus- sian war of 1866 was $500, 900, and with this sum he bought his palace at Var zir. After the Franco-Prussian war he received from the same hands the Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe, valued at S750,00 He inherited the ancestral estate at SchOenhauSen. On April 1, 1885, Bismarck's seventieth bEthday, his admirers throughout the world gave him that portion of the Schoen- hausen property which his father had been obliged to sell when times were hard. The money value of the gift was some SOC, 0,010. Bismarck is also a distiller, forester and the owner of a large brick yard. Despite all these ad- vantaGes, however, says writer in the Home Journal, he has found it inpossi- ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to about &750,C00, which have incumbered his estates for many years. Of his gross income more than s32, ,000 must be devoted every year to paying the in- terest on his debts. The burden is not agreeable to tho old chancellor, and he has often remarked to his friends re- gently that his ambition to leave an unincumbered property to his children ,,or-,,. I1o 4;noJ
