FROM RUSSIA TO SOUDAN,
The Missive Which a Crane
Brought to Slatin
Bey.
ANOTHER BIRD MESSENGER.
An AIbatroSS Takes the Account
Of a Shipwreck to Western
Australia.

Slatin Bey, the former Governor of one
of the Egyptian provinces in the Soudan,
who escaped from his long imprisonment
at Omdurman few months ago and has
recently arrived in Egypt, brought home a
remarkable story of the killing of crane
on the upper Nile which bore around its
neck written message that had come all
the way from Europe. One day in De-
cember, 1892, Slatin was summoned to the
palace of the Khalifa Abdulla, successor to
the Mahdi. The Khalifa handed to him a
small metal capsule. He said it contained
some papers, and the Khalifa commanded
: Slatin to open the capsule and interpret
the writing if he could.
The white prisoner unscrewed the cap
and took out two small slips of paper, each
about the size of visiting card. The short
message on these papers was written in
German, French and English. 1t said that
the capsule had been fastened to the neck
of crane that had been bred on the estate
of Herr Falz-Fein at Tskanea Nova, in the
province of Taurida, South Russia. The
crane had been released in Russia in June
or July, 1892. The exact date of the release
was given, but as Slatin was not permitted
to copy or retain the writing, and depends
upon his memory, he cannot more def

characteristic modesty that is not at all
inconsistent with his firm conviction of its
truth. He clearly realizes the difficulty
which opposes its adoption and the in
credulity with which SO revolutionary
discovery will be received. In one OF his
letters he speaks of his own experience.
He himself was for long time almost
wholly incredulous, and did not become
convinced of its truth until he had satisfied
himself with the severest tests.
Final rhyme makes its appearance as an
essential element in poetry long after the
classic period of Rome and Greece had
passed away. Milton speaks of rhyme as
"the invention of barbarous age to set off
wretched matter in lame meter" That
this low estimate is unjust any one will
concede that takes the trouble to read the
rhymed Latin hymns of the early church
in particular, Thomas of Celano's "Dies
Irse." Yet, the well-established opinion is
that systematic, final rhyming did arise in
the fourth century A. D.; in northern
literature in the ninth century.
The question how rhyme originated in
modern literature has been frequently dis
cussed and variously answered. Some at
tribute it to the influence of the rich
rhymes of the Arabian and Persian
tongues, but it existed lone before such in
fuence could be felt in Europe. Edwin
Guest, the best authority on English
rhythm, suggests that it was obtained Gin
all probability from Celtic races,
All these theories in regard to the origin
of rhyme are, however, too narrow. 1t
was known to the Greeks and Latins long
before the rise of Christianity; countless
nations of Europe and Asia used it, proba-
bly, before the classic literature fourished.
The dictum of Isaac Disraei seems still
true: Rhyme must be considered as
universal as poetry itself" That the
Greeks and Latins knew and used final
rhyme seems an especially established fact.
Greek poets, notably in the Ajax of
Sophocles, incidental rhymes occur. 1t
is probable that in the popular Latin
poetry preceding the classic era final
rhyme was used and disappeared under
the influence of Greek writer's. Yet, even
in Horace there are examples of evident
rhyme; in Ovid they are frequent, being
used to emphasize a line or word, as
rhymed couplets occur in Shakespeare s
| blank verse.
The new discovery, however, goes be-
yond the fact of the casual and the incl
dental presence of rhyme in languages in
which it was difficult to avoid it; it as
serts that the whole of classic verse in
rhyming slaves which follow a general
law of melody. The burden of proof for
such radical departure from established
views will not be a light one, but Mr..
Byars brings to this difficult task mature
scholarship and an exquisite poetic taste,
of which there can be no better evidence
than his translation of est. Paul's Poem
of Love-" 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
| Byars will soon publish some specimens
of Greek and Latin verse arranged in ac-
| cordance with the newly discovered law.

VENTURA, Cal
At your request called on Mr.. Quincy of

was employed in small tinshop; now he is in
the big store of this place. He said: Through
ignorance allowed my blood impurity to go
on, paying no attention to it whatsoever. After
q few months began to have scales all over my
body, and would itch and itch all day long,
Ny nights were indeed terrible. I could not
sleep. Not being able to sleep soon lost my
appetite and was beginning to show signs of
an awful disease. Several friends told me to
try different remedies. I used to be told to try
a different medicine every day. All these
remedies did me no good l picked up

although he told me he had something just as
good insisted on getting joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla. Well, sir, from the first my bowels
began to move regularly, I tell you joys is q
wonderful laxative. You don't feel any grippe
or pain, or ache, yet it does its work so pleas
ingly. After using bottle and quarter all
the scales left my body, and it is just as clean
and good as it ever was. / can, therefore,
gladly vouch for joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
know an old lady who has just told me she
never saw such fine remedy. I am told by
people who seem to know that this medicine is
made entirely from California herbs. If it is,
and am quite sure it must be, why it is great
thing for our State. Yes, sir, you may say
that joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla did untold
good to me.
s'From reliable information am told that the
best people of Ventura are now praising what
is called the Home Remedy'-Joy's Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. 1t seems too bad, indeed, that
some druggists will try to substitute something
that is really not worth one-half what Joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla Is WORTH"
