Slaves of the Orient.

"In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are
very slow to take advantage Of the reg
ulatiOns that give them the right to
claim their freedom" says traveller.
They realize that so long as they are
well used their position is superior to
that of the man whose freedom is his
sole asset. | have found the same at
titude in north Africa. From Morocco
TO Tripoli one sees most of the slaves
we'll content and tiOuriShing The fam
inc, the lOcuStS, the drought and the
tax collector have no terror for them.
Work keeps them healthy. they have
enough to eat and drink, and the future
has no meaning at all. There is pro
motion there are confidential missions
to governors and friends that elevate a
slave. if only in the eyes of his fellows,
and there is always a chance Of manu-
mission when the owner dies and
wishes to have some good deeds record
ed in the books of Islam's recording
angels The sorry truth of the matter
is that slaves under MOhammedan rule
Yre much better off than they ever
were under the rule of white men in
America and elsewhere

The novel that has inherent and
permanent value that will secure for it
Il place in literature" said well
known author a few days ago, rarely
exceeds an edition of ten or fifteen
thousand copies, and more often the
limit is 5000, while the one that is
ephemeral, but catches the public fan
cy, may have sale of fifty or IA hun
dred thousand. Books of the latter class
put money into the pockets of both au-
thor and p1blisher, but it does not
come from tire most discriminating
readers. of the class in question the
field is limited and, while they estab-
lish the reputation and permanent val
ue of the really literary production,
they are not included in the clientele of
the author who is willing to sacrifice
quality and style to increase his reve-
nues from royalties. The novel that at
tains a wide but brief popularity does
not appeal TO the literary class"

Mr.. Wilkins as he stood up to the
mark.
"Go right in, my boy, to knock the
head out of the cider barrel and don't
mind me-" replied Mr. Bowser, and
then he chuckled deep down in his
chest at the crisis that was coming.
That right swing of his was due in the
third round, and he felt that he must
hang on to himself a bit and not bl~ak
Mr.. wilkins neck and have Il coroner's
inquest on hand
The two @iXed things up for ii min
ute, and then Mr.. Bowser's golden op-
portunity came. He saw the opening
and swung for it, and he had started to
chuclle when the house fell on him.
Roof, walls and everything gave way
at once. and his last remembrance was
seeing the earnest face of Mr. wilkins
before him. The visitor shortly after
made his appearance downstairs and
said to Mrs BowSer:
MY dear madam. am panied to tell
you that your husband is lying in a

that it Will be useless TO try to waken
him for the next quarter of an hour
He won't die of it, but he will know

pointers he has given me tonight Good
night, madam"
When Mr.. BOwser opened his eyes
and looked around in Il stupid way he
smelled camphOr and saw Mrs. Bowser
bending over him.
"W-what Is it," he asked.
Nothing much, except that you have
stopped laughing"
But what is it, l say?"
Hush! You picked up Mr. Wilkins
for fiat and set out to knock his head
off. Yours isn't quite knocked off, but
