 What was remarkable about it?'' in- quired the lawyer.
 Why" began the fat man. hesitat- ingly, that they should all have been mares
 The lawyer turned around and re- garded him with long lingering stare of pity.
 Nothing remarkable about that" he said. You will see that from the fin ish.
 Carpenter is a little deaf, conse- quently he didn't know all that those men with mares swung in behind us one by one as each bet was decided. Why, we looked like a procession.
 Finally we drew up in front of Pet CTS place. Nine men behind us drew up also. We got out. Nine other men got out at the same instant.
 There was great stretching of necks from the Sunday crowd in front of the drug store and the saloon on the corner. As Carpenter struck the street he happened to glance behind him and he saw those nine men and those nine mares.
 Just about this time he began to see something else and he glared at me. I looked like halftone of the Sphinx. I'd hate to tell you out loud what he look ed like. I think he looked like demon. I never saw real demon. but I dope him now for looking like a demon.
 What in the bad place does this mean?" he yelled.
 "In my most conciliatory tones I told him they were some friends of mine that I had invited to join us in a few bottles of wine.
 "'At my expense, too, suppose he blurted out.
 "'Well,' said I, T kind of figured on it being at yours

 "The old man paid it without a word, and the only thing I have ever heard out of him about the affair from that day to this was that if he ever got to be as good judge of yearlings as I was of good, hard painstaking drink , ers he would scoop evry stake on the metropolitan calendar for three years to come.''
 "Is that all?" inquired the fat man.
 T should think that would be about all" replied the lawyer.

Let it be given out that Neni is dead; then will lie upon my mat, in front of my house. stimulating a corpse ready for burial, and will see whether they will come to mourn over me-" So it was reported that Nemi was dead, and soon from all directions the animals came to mourn over their benefactor. Among them came the hyena who, when he saw the corpse of Nemi, was seized with an overmaster- ing desire to devour it. So after the other animals had all taken their de- parture he returned to the courtyard, and, with 8 growl oG satisfaction, ran to the body, and was just about to com mence his horrid feast, when Nemi sprang to his feet, and, seizing heavy wooden pestle, hit the hyena such a blow on the back that it was almost bent double. The hyena never fully re- covered from the effect of the blow, and the deformity which bears record to his ingratitude and greed has been trans mitted to all his, children,

EcpTIAN SCHOOLS.

The ways of the West are strange to Kuttab schoolmaster. An inspector was recently shown specimens of ex- cellent handwriting by one of these estimable old gentleman as being the product of his school. The inspector was suspicious, and desired to see the scholars at their writing lesson. The children were evidently surprised, and handled the pen and paper with rare curiosity. But they cannot write atall," said the inspector. ''Why should they |" was the reply 'I have written all these specimens myself, and have de- voted many days that they might be worthy of your honor's inspection. Are they not good enough?" Far too good" Dsaid the inspector and the teacher was left marveling at 8 new instance of the madness of the English Lane tells us that in his day "it was customary for the master to ornament the boys writ ing tablet with black and red ink and green paint, and to write upon it the letters of the alphabet in the order of their respective values. and convey it to the father, who returned it with a plastre or two placed upon it." Had the inspector of to-day remembered this fact he would not have been surprised at the reply of the schoolmaster.
 The Egyptian boy is started early in his bilingual education. He begins to learn to write Arabic and English at the same time, and all through his ear Her years the native and the foreign language are taught side by side. The result is well worthy the attention of teachers at home. At the age of four teen or fifteen the young Egyptian
The daily morning journal and courier., 1902-10-11

speaks a pure English entirely without any accent; his vocabulary is not yet large, of course-what boys is But he can read and write with a facility which was the despair Of one white man at least, who bushes when he thinks of his attempts to gain some small insight into the mysteries of colloquial Arabic. All through Egypt and not merely in the high-class schools of Cairo the same practice prevails, and you find away up the river lads who, instead of asking tourists for ''backsheesh'' as their fath- CTS did, politely address the wandering Englishman in a tongue that is more like "the we'll of English undefled" than anything you are like to hear in any Board school in London or the provinces, while they request the favor of an old newspaper or magazine Nineteenth Century.

How He and All His Children Came to
 Have Crooked Backs.
 An English missionary in Africa, writing to The London Standard about the stories that the natives tell around their Campfires, says that this one about the hyena never fails to bring out many grunts of satisfaction:
 Long ago there lived a man named Nemi, who was very kind to all the animals All through the winter, when food was scarce, he feasted them from his well filled barns. The sound of the great drum in Nemis courtyard was the signal for the gathering of animals of almost every species. The elephant came with the buffalo, the lion and the antelope, the hyena and the rabbit-all for the time laying aside their mutual hatred of one another and Joining in honoring Nemi with chorus of praise as they partook of his bounty One day Nemi said to his wife: T should like to put the affection of these animals to the test. l often wonder whether there

Edward L. Bloom presents the Alma Chester company at the Grand Opera House for one week, commencing Mon day in a series of high class Frohman productions, opening with the bright and clever comedy, "Gloriana," the play which helped Henrietta Crosman to become a star. It was originally: produced at Hermann's Theatre, the theatre then owned by the famous ma- gician and now called the Princess The atre The play is distinctly of the hu- moreus type and is full of amusing complications and funny situations, which are developed in the best lines of high dramatic art. It was in the title role that Miss Henrietta Crosman made her first distinguished success, and it helped her more towards stellar distinc- ton than any other role she has ever played.
