inches longer than those authorized by
the prevailing style and made with spe-

Tho Curious Tale Of a Monastery In the
Canary Islands.

Tho Curious Tale of Monastery In the
Canary Islands.
A curious tale of besioged ard con-
quered monastery belongs to the early
history Of the Canary islands and is re-
told by Charles E&wardes in his de-
scription Of tho isles. IN tho early part
OF tho eightconth century there iiVca in
Orotava, Oh the island Of Tenerife, a
convent Of Dominican nuns, who, after
some years Of ease had the misfortune
to bo burned out Of house and home
They went into temporary quarters fer
q year, but became dissatisfied with
such unconventual walls, and began
looking about for permanent abiding
place At that time there was in Orota-
va a house of Jesuits, which had lost its
form er importance, and, though commo-
dious and healthful, gave lodging to
but two men, the rector Of the house
and his assistant.
On this mansion the nuns cast covet-
GUS eyes, and soon resolved 10 appropri-
ate it, One morning about 40 of them
advanced upon it, by strategy induced
the Jesuit brother to open the outer
gate, and then trooping into the court
yard fell on their knees, thanking God
for this preliminary success. In vain
did the two men reason with them
On their scandalous conduct. They mere
~ held their gIound, cSclaiming, Fa-
thcr Andrew, this is a large cage for SO
few birds. Some Of the mere reason
able mombers Of the sisterhCod explain
ed that they were really in need of a
dwelling as spacious as this and that
they did not propose leaving it. The
rector in despair fled into tho sacristy,
from which retreat he oxhortod hrs col.
league to be Of good cheer. Patience,
brother, cried he, "and do your best
to extricate yourself from thcse ladies.
That, however, was mere easily said
than done, especially as the nuns were
becoming so excited that they might
momentarily have Lecn expected to re-
sort 30 tho argument Of nails. Tho siege
lasted for three CT four hours. News q
it few about tle town, and bsnds Of
young men, scrupulously neutral, watch
ed proceedings from the bars Of the out
er gate. Eventually the Jesuits yielded
and the nuns occupied the house until 1
new convent, entirely to their taste
was erected for them. London Globe.
