shows positive genius In planning
places Of concealment, which no

A Land of Many Thirsts.

The Egyptian never travels without
his goolah. He fills it with filtered
water and in the morning can COM
mand pint or more Of water cooled
by evaporation through the unglazed
clay. This precious fluid he does not
waste on unsatisfed thirst. Taking of
the long white wrap and the piece of
cloth that covers his head during sleep,
the native pours the water over his
head, neck and hands. The European.
with all his instinct for cleanliness
seeks first to relieve his overmasterinf
thirst.
There are in Egypt as many thirsts
as plaques, but the dust thirst is the
worst. Every pore is sealed; the throat
is a lump Of dry clay, and one feels
what it must be to be mummy.-Lon,

to explain that the American plan was

chose to eat elsewhere it was his own

just go up and tackle it! I've eaten
one dinner already, but you bet I'm
going to get my moneys worth out of
this old house if bustv
"He rushed into the dining room,
grabbed bill of fare and ordered ev-
erything he could think of, his sole
idea being to get even for that charge
1t was sumptuous repast, and what
he couldn't eat he messed up so it
would be of no use to anybody else

A justice of the peace in one of the

for the arrest of a west end woman fo-
slander. Squire S. ]. White happened
to be present at the hearing. ,Ehe pros.
ecutor testified that the defendant had

had added Il don't know what that
you are" The witness admitted that
she did not know what the meaning Of
the word was, either, but she knew
1t had no good meaning or the other
wouldn't have made use Of it,
''No matter what it means" said the
squire, who is an intensely patriotic
American, 'it's a foreign name, and
she had no business calling you it. III
fine her for it,
Squire" whispered Squire White in
his ear, you have no Jurisdiction in
SANDER suits. They must be entered
In court"
"Well, I'll hold her for court, then"
the squire declared.
"But there's no law under which you
can do that" he was told
'Wen, I'll hold her anyhow" he re
piled, land test the constitutionality
Of the act"
"But there is no act" persisted
Squire White.

the squire, turning on him. "Do you

DUSK ON THE WIDE, Low PLAIN.

Dusk the wide, low plain,
And CLINT in the foreground lying
Water fringed by ring of tremulous whispering
reeds,
And over it circling bats
And the sound Of the killdees' crying,
And around it the sigh of the wind in network
of shivering weeds.
Dusk on the wide, low plain,
And star in the distance peer1ng
Over the serried peaks of shifting vanishing blue,
And an oak tree black on the sand,
And hare Looping off through the clearing,
And, out where the tarweeds toss, the bleat Of a
wandering ewe
Dusk on the wide low plain,
And crane to the pools descending,
And soft where the mulleins wait, the fit of a
ground OWLS wing,
And hawk beating home to his percn
Where the clouds with the crests are blending.
And shades of the fastening night round the less
ening foothills cling.
