An Arnhhixhnn,a Wit.

The stories that are told of Arch
bishop Ryan's wit would fill a small
volume. A we'll known priest called
upon him one day to ask for vaca-
ton on the ground that his health
required it. AS he was noted for his
frequent absences from his parish,
the preiate could not let slip the op.
portunity. He granted the leave OF
absence promptly, with a recon-
mendation. 1.-THE physicians say
that you need change Of air, ia
therg" 'They do, your grace. ;
"How would it do, then, to try the
air of your parish for q month o,
two as changer"
He demonstrated once with prizes
whose silk hat had seen its best day.

up that hat for 20 new ones, SAX

Their, who fell in the rising OF 1S4S.
"And evidently fell ON the hat,

Shaking Minarets of Ispahan.

When / first came in sight of the
minarots, confess that my expeota-
tons were woefully disappointed.
Instead of the graceful, airy forms of
bright colored tiles and gliding /
had anticipated I saw two oonstruo-
tons exactly like the brick chimneys
Of an American foundry, rising some
20 or 30 feet above the roof of a
dilapidated mosque. I felt inclined
to turn tail and ride homo again.
Their custodian, however, prevailed
on me to ascend one of the narrow
stairs which lead to their SUBMITS.
He mounted one and l the other, and
as soon as We were aloft he signaled
attention and commenced sway
ing his body slowly backward and
forward. Both the minaret we were
on and the one II or IA yards off
followed his motions and began to
bend and sway like plant willow
wands. In few moments their os-
cillation became so great, and we
got SO far out of the perpendicular,
that I began to repent my curiosity
and was glad to descend to terra
fr1na. 1t is not difficult to under
stand that a single tower oan he g
constructed that a man at it's to.
can make it oscillate. The myster::
is, how he can make a second tower,
at n distance, participate in that os.
cillation.-Outing.

The NIaddeninx Comp.

An editor who goes in largely for
the high flown style of writing once
began one of his extravagant leading
articles in this fashion: Tomorrow
is the anniversary of the death Of
Louis Philippe.
The EDITORS penmanship was not
by any means the easiest to de-
cipher, so when the proof was hand
ed to him it read, Tomorrow is the
anniversary of the death Of Sam
Phillips. :
Extremely indignant at what Is
deemed q wanton insult, he wrath.
fully wrote on the margin of the
proof, who the dickens is this
Sam Phillips?"
Having reproved the printer in
scathing fashion, he went home, but
at breakfast in the morning, whe1
he turned with pride to his article
which he considered better than usu
al, he sprang up in towering rag
on finding it begun thus: "Tomor
row is the anniversary of the death
of Sam Phillips. Who the dickens
is this Sam Phillips?" - Happ,

Insomnia.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the
expert on brain diseases, holds that
insomnia is not attended with such
disastrous consequences as is COM
monty supposed. 1t is not as danger.
Gus as the solicitude of the sufferer.
He suggests that the brains OF liter
airy men, who are the most frequent
victims, acquire the trick OF the
heart, which takes dose of a frao-
ton of second after each beat, and
SO manages to get 6 hours rest in "a.
Some brains, in cases of insomnia,
sleep in sections, different brain
centers going of duty in turn.
