1t was raining cats and dogs outside
and the Columbus avenue car wa
crowded. A young woman stood lookint
from one seated man to another, but the
men would not bulge. She looked tim
idly, then appealingly, then daggers
but they did not care.
Finally the worst dressed and rough
est looking man in the Car got up.
Here is seat for you, num-" he
said suavely.
"Oh, thank you ever SO much" said
the young lady, shooting chances at the
other men which said, You are gentle
men, but this uneducated laborer could
give you lesson in manners.
Presently she was shifting about on
her seat, Shielding now her face, now
her white stand up collar and looking,
with troubled face, at a point in the

down at irregular intervals in splashes

PANBESA'S LETTER.
An Account of an Egyptian City Thirt,
Centuries Ago.

An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty
Centuries Ago.
Probably the oldest letter in the
world is the letter of Panbesa, written
10 centuries before Christ to his friend
Amenemapt, scribe.
The manuscript is Of perishable papy.
rus, and it is amazing that it should
have survived for moro than 80 CEN
turtles and still be legible.
1t is preserved in the collection of the
British museum. 1t has been several
times translated during the present CEN
tury. 1t presents an interesting picture
of life in Egypt in the time of Rameses
IL 1t is more in the nature of literary
production, poem composed in cele-
bration Of the visit of Pharaoh to the
city of Pa-Rameses, than an ordinary
letter of today.
Panbesa "greets his lord, the scribe
Amenemapt, to whom be life, health
and strength" and then goes on to de-
scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves Of
olives, the orchards of figs, the great
daily markets, with their fish and wa
terfowl and swarms Of purchasers.
The citizens had their "sweet wine
of Khemi, pomegranate wine and wine
from the Vineyards" and to these they
added "beer of Kati."
There was music in plenty furnished
by the singers Of the school of Memphis.
On the whole, Pa-Rameses seems to
have been pleasant place to live in.
"The lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk" and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were "in holiday at
tire every day" with locks "redolent

He Got His Leave.

The Rev. Robert Nourse relates this
story in The Congregationalist:
On certain Sunday morning the or.
derby of the colonel of the Eighth Ohio
presented himself before that officer.
Everything all right, colonel?" he
asked. After looking around and find
ing that the tent had been put in order
and his boots BACKED he replied In the
affirmative. II have a favor to ask, "
said the orderly. Estate it, 3" said the
colonel. II beg that may go off today,
colonel, and go little earlier and re-
main little later. For what rea-
sons!" demanded the colonel. The or
derby produced letter and said, "Sir,
l have received this from the president,
and he invites me to dine at the White
House"
The president Of the United States is
in every way to be ranked among the
great rulers of the world. But the gen.
uine and unaffected democracy of the
man who now holds that exalted Office
is shown in this incident, which could
not be paralleled in any other country
in the world.

TWO HUMOROUS BROTHERS.

| They Won wagers on the Strength of
Their Own LONELINESS.
Many years ago there were two broth.
ers, named Joel and Jonathan, who
were famous throughout Wayne county,
Ind, because they were both such
frights. One day they were on their
way to Cincinnati by wagon In the
days Of the old canal. The wagon was
of the covered variety, and only Joel
was visible to the natural eye as the
vehicle plunged into and out of the
chuck holes that infested the way. Joel
was said to be the next to the ugliest
man in all the country round, and his
brother took precedence.
The two brothers met q stranger, who,
attracted by the supremacy homely face
of Joel, stopped his horse and said:
EXCUSE me- my friend, but would
you mind tellin me your name?'
In sepulchral tone that fitted we'll
the hideous face Joel replied:
well, guess 1 hain't never done
nothin that would make me ashamed
to tell my name. My name is Joel"-
"Where do you live, if it is fair
question:"
II live in Wayne county, Indianny."
well, stranger, I've seen much of
Indianny, but I'll bet you $40 that
you're the ugliest man in the state"
"Well, l hain't no gamblin man."
replied Joel, but l hain't never seen
nothin in the Scriptur' ag'in bettin ON
sure thing, an I'll jest take that bet. "
Turning to the wagon cover and peer
ing into its depths he called:
Jonathan, stick your head out hyer.
Jonathan did as he was requested.
The stranger paid the money without
a word of complaint. New York Mail

Travellers in Burma see many strange
things, and perhaps one of the strangest
is the way in which some kinds of fruit
grow.
For instance, gooseberries that al
home grow on small bushes in this part
OF the world grow on trees over % feet
high. They are not q soft, pulpy fruit,
but are as hard as marbles.
The real Burman grapes also grow
on high trees and not ON vines. They
hang from the branches and trunk of
the tree in clusters. ON long stalk and
are covered with thick outer skin,
which cannot be eaten.
The cachou, or monkey nut, is also
peculiar and consists of q large, juicy
fruit OF soft pulp, with its nut or kernel
attached to the outside of the fruit at
the end farthest from the stalk from
which 1t hangs London Standard.

santiago,s Distinction.

Santiago de Cuba has an ecolesias-
tical distinction, and that is that it is
the Oldest bishopric in the western
world. When all Pennsylvania was q
traceiess waste, an archbishop ruled a
see OF no mean proportions from that
city and under that title. From the
city Of Santiago also went out the two
great missionaries to the Indians and
negroes, the first, Las Casas, who
evangelical nearly all Central America,
and the second, st. Peter Claver, who
worked among the negroes of Brazil. -
