zade. Reaching them he stopped, made
salaam, bowling low with his arms up
raised in front Of him, and then passing
on, taking a place in the room and so
becoming a part Of the audience for the
succeeding pictures. Each Of the charac-
ters followed his example, until all had
passed out, when the next set Of tableaus
was at once quickly arranged. Again
Scheherezade renewed her recitation.
Thus fable after fable was told and
acted, the audience in the palace room
growing larger after each, so that soon
the we'll managed pictures received gen
erous applause.
At last the committee announced that
the fable Of "Ai Baba and the Forty
Thieves" would be the next on the pro-
gramme. The parts to be acted by each
were quickly explained, and all was
ready. As the Forty Thieves were prac-
tically like supernumeraries in a spec
tacular play, Mr.. Barnes thought that
he would take any position which he
should choose, and SO stood through all
the scenes as near to Ali Baba as posi-
bic. At last the recitation was ended,
and the signal given for them to form a
line to do obeisance to the sultan. Mr..
Barnes attempted to stand Immediately
behind Ali Baba, and was surprised to
find two other men try for the same
place coincidently. There was n moment
of confusion, and then Mr.. Barnes found
himself in line just between the two
other aspirants for second place behind
tho leader.
That what next occurred may be thor
oughly understood it will be well to
call accurate attention TO the position Of
the various actors. The palace room was
practically dark, though light from the
cave room lessened the gloom so much
that the figures could be distinguished
enough to know whether a man or n wo-
man were crossing the floor
The sultan, Mr.. Van Rawlston, lay ON
a divan, not far from tho cave room and
facing it. Soheherezade-Mis Emily
Remsen-sat on a cushion beside him.
Both of them faced the tableaus, and it
will be seen at once that from gazing
toward the light II either turned toward
the darkness blindness would result for
lew IuOIleuls. All DdDdJ ueduIlB luc
line Of Forty Thieves, came toward the
divan. Here he stopped, made salaam,
bowing low, bringing his arms up above
the head outstretched in front of him,
then parting them with a swaying
movement backward he rose erect again.
This done, he passed on into the darker
part Of the room. Next came the first of
the Forty Thieves, Mr.. Barnes follow
ing close behind him. This man made
his salaam, bowling low. AS he did so
there was a slight noise. This attracted
Mr. Barnes attention for a moment,
and his eye wandered in the direction
Of the sound For the merest part of
second, however, did his gaze leave the
man before him, and when it returned
he distinctly saw the figure do this: In
making his salaam, when outstretching
his arms, he allowed his hand to pass
just over the head of Miss Remsen, who
was looking down, perhaps to become
relieved from the glare of the other

PERFUMES.

Nearly every known perfume is. nqW,
successfully initiated by the synthetic
processes of the chemical laboratory.
The principal European manufactures
of perfumes are in London, Paris andIthe
towns of south Franco and north Italy.
Thepreoious ointment which the woman
poured upon the feet of Christ was highly
perfumed, so that tho odor filed the house.
Pliny says that special perfumes, NOT
allowed to any but members of the roy3l
family, were prepared for the Roman en-
perors.
In Exodus, xxx, an account is given, Of
the Oil of holy ointment made by Moses
from myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia
and olive oil.
The records left by the Phenicians, As
syrians and ancient Persians show that
among all those nations the use of per-
fumes was very common.
Perfumes are now extensively manu-
factured In the United States, and the ma
tive articles are said by experts to compare
favorably with foreign manufacturers.

We should not only guard against sin

care avoid anything that might prove
the occasion of sin in others. A little
pebble may turn the course OF tiny
stream which in its onward flow becomes
mighty river:so an apparently trif-
ling act may so change the whole course
of a mans life as to render him n
monster of iniquity, and result in his
ruin. How careful, then, we should be
to avoid everything which may bring a
wrong influence TO bear on the minds of
others, or which may prove the occasion
of their fall into sin. We are in some
