GIFT NOT AL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re-
sult of Accident.

missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
Mr.. Crawford went to school," he
said, lin Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at Concord clergy
mans.
"The clergyman had missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gi-
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
1T was close fit, but unfortunate
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the noveists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"

evident they are on rapid increase.

Girls Destined for Harems,

The Circassians, who live in the
northwestern part of the Caucasus,
and who think it is more honorable to
live by plunder than by industry, make
it custom to bring their daughters
up to be sold as slaves to the Turks
and Persians. Circassian beauties,
therefore, shine not in their native
land but in the harems of the orient.
