Syrian Hospitality.

The individual who is lucky enough
to be invited to dine at the home
of any of the weIl-to. do Syrians need
not be astonished over the elaborate
ness or the daintiness of the meal,
neither need he refrain from express
ing his delight Oyey the good things
to eat. The Syrians are a most hos
pitable lot of people and when they
entertain they don't do it in Gny half
way style. Edibles are ur,uS lal and
rather qeer, but very tasty, an dishes
and glasses very dainty. Syria y wines
are delicious and SO is Syrian coffee,
the latter always favored with some
kind of perfumed water, jHst Enough
to add a delicate, sweet odoI Per-
fumes, by the way, are very ,i0pular
with the Syrians, and if a & t9st is
soused with perfume from a dainty
glass sprinkler in the hands cf the
hostess upon entering a Syrian home
he must take it all in good part, as
that is one of the highest faVoTs that
can be bestowed upon visitor 1t
is apt to remind one Of those oAtru-
sive perfume demonstrated girls in
department stores, or the grirning,
automatic wax ladies in theatre lob
bies, the business of each being tc
raise a hand and spray the faces Of
passersby,s but one must do with the
Syrians as he docs in the store or
the theatre, just gasp and pretend TO
like it.

The Two Williams.

The Kaiser's unqualified respect for
the divinity that doth hedge king"
is revealed in an anecdote found in
the Memoirs" of Ludwig Barney, the
German tragedian.
On an evening when Richard H."
was played at the Berlin Theatre in
the presence of his majesty, the Kai-
ser sent for Barney at the close, and
said to him:
During the performance four lines
were recited which are not to be found
in Shakespeare's works.
1T is true, sire" replied Barney.
"They are an Interpolation by Din
gelstedt, in order to obtain greater
clearness."
The Kaiser frowned. "In future
such mutilation must be avoided" he
said. "One does not play tricks with
Shakespeare"

CRUSOE'S ISLAND.

In writing Robinson Crusoe," De-
foe, with a story tellers license, took
many liberties with the original mar
rative. One of these changes has been
to tell us that Crusoe's Island was sit
uated on the east coast of South
America, near the mouth Of the ORR
noco River There can be no doubt,
however, that the Island of Juan Fer
nandez, with its cave and its lookout,
was the island which Defoe mas de-
scribed; nor that the adventures Of
Alexander Selkirk have been faith
fully reproduced, with an added
charm, in the story of Robinson
Crusoe. st. Nicholas.

TIE LITTLE WHITE LAME.

The baby, Wee Boy Geordie, was
very sick, and all the other children
had been sent out Of the house to
stay until he was better. Only a few
of his favorite toys had been taken
out of the nursery, and nobody played
there at all.
1t was very sad; and the worst of it
was that the little White Lamb, the
best loved of all his playthings, could
not be found, though they had hunted
high and low. The baby called inces-
sanity for him.
Where's White Lambie? Geordie
want to play wiz him." he said over
and over.
In vain did they offer other toys
mo, no! want White Lambie!" he
said in his weak little voice.
The kind old doctor held the hot
hands in his and shook his head
"This won't do at all, he said,
graveIy. And he looked very wor-
Tied
So did mamma and papa and the
nurse.
where, oh, where, can little White
Lambia be?" they said to each other.
Now, the walls have ears, and they
hear, you know. They talk sometimes
too. Have you never heard them say
"Cr-r-ah" at night when you are alone?
So the news of it came to the Nursery
People.
con, if only the Captain Of the Tin
Soldiers were here!" they said sadly.
"For who among us can go to find
White Lambie?" And they looked at
each other in distress. who can go?"
they repeated.
Not Jack-in-the-BoX, though he
could he. when he could only move
up and down in his box? Not the toy
Noah from the ark, he was too small.
Not che Top; he could only move
whea somebody set him a-spinning.
Not the little Cuckoo, She could not
leave the clock
Then up spoke the little Black Dog
with the curly tail;
IL will find White Lambie and
bring him home to Wee Boy Geordie
this very night"
And all the Nursery People clapped
their hands in joy; for who could go
better than the little Black Dog? So,

ard the slim new Moon leaned low in
her silvery chariot, he pushed open
thu door and trotted out into me hall
White Lambie was not on the win
dow sill, nor yet in the dark corners
of The hall. So he battered down the
stairway where, months before, the
captain marched MS soldiers. At the
foot was the heavy door, locked and
BAR ed for the night.
"Bow-wow" said tho Little Dog,
pushing against it with bil his might
Let me out, you surly old door! How
Care you stop mel"
Then slowly, very slowly, it turned
ON its hinges and let him out Once
outside ne paused, as if he hardly
knew where to look first. He laid his
Hcse to the ground and smelled just
as real dog would DO. Had White
Lambie strayed down the street?
Barking f1ercely, he went to see; but
no little woolly lamb did he spy.
He turned and circled the house,
peering into all the places where the
children might have dropped him, still
no lambie. Then he went out to the
stable where the patient horses. stood
in their stalls.
Have you seen White Lambia?" he
asked, standing on his hind legs in
his excitement
Not We" they answered with a
friendly neigh. And the little Black
Dog turned sadly away
Then, as he scampered over the
grass, he saw the print Of tiny hoof.
"Oho!" laughed he; now I know
where White Lambie is"
And ne ran as fast as his feet could
carry him to the garden. There, fast
asleep in a bed of snowdrops, lay
White Lambie.

tie Dog. "Ehe baby is sick, and he's
calling for YOU"
What baby?" said the Lamb, rub
bing his eyes.
Why, our baby, of course-Wee
Boy Geordie! Run, White Lambie,
run, or will bite your heels" scoIded
the Little Dog.
Soon the Nursery People heard the
pattering of their feet u7on the stairs,
and they said to one arother:-
"The little Black Dog has found the
Lambie, and is driving him to the
door of the baby's roCm."
And, sure enough, when nurse open
ed the door there was the little lost
lamb; but the black doggie had scam
pered away to the nursery. We'll, of
all things in this world" said she, eff
here isn't the lamb that blessed child's
crying for. But now did it ever get
here?'
Then she picked him up and laid
him on the coverlet where the thin
white hands could reach him. The
baby seized him eagerly, and with a
long sigh of content he laid his cheek
upon the lambs back, and snuggled
down to sleep. When the doctor came

Best Results From Manure

When manure is taken fresh from
the stable or horse or COW lot and
spread on the fields in fall or winter,
the greatest possible advantage is
realized therefrom. The soluble con-
stituents are in such cases leached
out by the rains and incorporated with
the soil and are in conditions to
promptly administer to the wants of
the crops as soon as the crops need
plant food. The same manure, left
until just before planting, will have
the most valuable food leached out;
or if thrown in heaps will have the
nitrogen dissipated by the process of
slow combustion, which follows the
fermentation of the mass. 'Well-rot-
ted manure" means manure the vir-
tues of which are chiefly spent. The
writer has had manure heaps that &C.
cumulated during summer reduced to
ashes, except a thin outside layer ex
posed to the air and rain. Such ma.
nure is of very little value where
nitrogen is required.--Farm and Ranch.
