A Geometrieal FalIacy7

The somewhat intoxicated gentle
man was making toward the door OF
his home with much difficulty. Over
and over again he stopped. fixed his
eye carefully on the door in question,
ran his eye solemnly along the dis.
lance intervening between him and 1t,
and started afresh, only to find himself
once more lacking from side to side,
like q ship adrift on the ocean.
At last he stopped, thoroughly dis.
gusted.
I'D like to know" he soliloqulzed,
"wh-what old fool shaid straight
lines shortes' distance between two
hic-points!"

Mohammedan Serenity.

A Mohammedan people enjoy one
great advantage over all others-they
never suffer from the anticipation Of
that which is TO come, and. as a nat
ural result, they can always enjoy the
present, although only a few hours
may separate them from disaster, or
even from death Their implicit be-
lief in an ordained future imparts a
dignified repose and outward calm to
all their actions. Thus in spite Of the
trials and troubles which threatened
the state during my stay at Fee. a
smooth surface of Interchangeable seren-
ity yelled the inner thoughts Of every
individual, from the sultan to the
negro at his gates.-Blackwood Maya.

The phantom dog specter was one Of
the hardest OF old English supersI-
tons Almost every county had its
black dog which haunted its lonely
spots and was the dread of every ma.
tive. Most OF them we're regarded as
devils, but some were held to be the
spirits Of human beings, transformed
thus as a punishment. Lady Howard,
a Devon notable OF the days OF James
l., for instance was said to be COM
PEELED to haunt Okehampton in the
form Of dog as a punishment for her
cruelty to her daughter

through the medium of an action in

for J.. w. Phillips, to cancel deeds and
quiet title to a half section OF land ex-
changed by Phillips as the consideru-

The defendants, as soon as the action
was begun, did not wait TO file an an

obtained from him for the contract
right to sell a right, and thus endeth
