An intelligent Echo.

Echoes" remarked the great
traveller, ARE queer things They're
queer for two reasons-Fheir cause
and the vast difference In their
sounds. Science has explained why
there are echoes, but II can't tell
why one should reverberate with
bass tones in response 20 a shrill
tenor yell. while another reverses
this or responds naturally"
81 reckon you've heard a number
o. echoes?" hazarded the young man
whose furthest trip from home was
distance OF thirty-nine and a half
miles.
"Ratherl / recall one In Swltzer-
land: the echo rolled for just four
seconds-no more, no less. Then
there's one in the Pyrenees that
Jumps six times, first loud and harsh.
then low and soft, then loud again,
and so on. There's one in the west
ern part OF Germany that holds a
full sentence Of seven words before
releasing a sound, thus rivalling a
certain echo in Afghanistan, which
doesn't repeat until minute and a
half have elapsed
"Td like TO hear few OF 'em,"
said the home-staying chap with a
fine show OF wistfulness.
"Of course you would" responded
the traveller encouragingly. There
are a few things in the world more
interesting than a good echo"
You're right" said the other
thoughtfully. II Amt even been but
a few miles from home. but I've
heard one O. the strangest echoes
that ever was anywhere.

MssopOtamIa.

II has always seemed a most ex-
traordinary thing that the land be-
tween the Tigris and the Buphrates'
which was the seat OF the greatest
empires OF the ancient world, and
which shared with the Nile Valley the
distinction of being the richest
corn-growing land. should haye for SO
many centuries laid desolate ana
waste. But the natural richness OF
the soil is not the only factor IN the
fertility of the land. Even more
than Egypt II was dependent on care
full and scientific irrigation, and IN
the days of the great sovereigns OF
Babylon the canals were most strict
ly and jealousy guarded But when
the ancient empires finally fell the
canals and irrigation works were neg
lected and left uncared for, with
the result that In a few years time
the sand OF the desert and the weeds
choked up the waterways. and the
land reIapsed into desolation. But the
new ministry at Constantinople has
awakened TO the Importance OF the
matter, and sir William Willcocks'
the famous engineer, who wrote
most valuable monograph on the
Babylonian canals a few years ago,
has been intrusted with the work.
The total cost OF the work on the
Euphrates is estimated at quarter
OF a million OF Turkish pounds, OF
Which 100000 will be spent In the
first year. For such an absurdly
small sum can the desert be once
more turned into fertile land.-Lon'
don Globe.

Upon her board, and quite elate

But-well-men are so obtuse,
TO try and please them is no use.
Her husband, sans a single stutter,
Remarked, Say, what's the price OF

And then ne figured up the corn
And eggs and butter that had gone

Bat think up something cheap and
The blow was about to fall. They
all sat in the sick room. Over his
wffe's head, Andrews eyes sought
those of her sister and met nothing
but distress.
How you feelin' tonight, M'randy?"
Andrew began, clearing his throat
The invalid sat in her big chair

You're a saint, that's what you

He wiped beads OF perspiration

This and more anxious reasoning
she received in frozen silence.
They rushed for hot water and the
homely remedies with which they had
treated her through many years. Fin
ally her grief burst out. She scream

scrimped till we got It together. All

good as anyone's. oh. to think I've

Suddenly by a seemingly miracu-
lous EFFORT she arose and addressed
them

They gave her a sleeping draught
and she fell into a stupor. Jennie
Ann comforted Andrew as he sat
watching beside the bed
She'll be better In the morning
and she'll come to herself" she said.
''You can't blame her for taking It
hard at first, being such sufferer"
"Oh, no." said Andrew. He had
never dreamed OF blaming anyone but
himself.
But the next morning new distress
awaited them. No sooner was she
up than Miranda sent her sister out
to ask for plain sewing TO do from
the netghbors.
Il used to know how to sew as
well as most folks" she said. and
now that I've been brought to 1t, ]
reckon / can do It again"
And she did. At night when An
drew came In from his work he found
her at 1t with a pale face and de-
termined eyes. 1t made both him
and Jennie Ann miserable and she
gained kind of angry pleasure from
their distress. She Haunted her
WEAKNESS before them when at last
she gave up her work for the night
and went to bed. The same thing
happened the next day and the next
and for weeks, and at last 1t was
borne in upon them that a miracle
had happened Miranda instead OF
falling into a swift decline began to
look better than she had looked for
years. She lost flesh, 1t is true, but
her cheeks gained color and her eyes
new brightness. One day they
found her gazing at herself half GU
rlously, half angrily, in her cracked
mirror. She seemed to resent the
image OF new vigor that confronted
her. But after that day she seemed
to be thinking of something OF which
she never spoke. Sometimes Andrew
caught her looking at him with
musing expression which he could not
fathom. Once she offered TO wipe the
dishes for Jennie Ann. sitting In her
chair by the sink. And several times,
when she had been alone in the room'
they found that she was using articles
In her work which she could only
have procured by getting out OF her
chair and taking a few steps to reach
them.
It was early in March when. com
ing in one day, they found her Tor
the first time with her hands idle.
"Set down." she invited them. Il
got something I've been making up
my mind to say for long time"
They sat down near her.
