Noahsa Anchors.

A story of pair of anchors Is told
In the book entitled ITO Kairwan the
Holy"
Kairwan Is the Mecca Of the west
1t Is city so sacred that women are
allowed to move about in 1t but very
little. One Of the interesting sights
Is the Mosque of Emir Ben Said Bon
Muphtah. This mosque, with It's six
melon shaped domes, is the tomb of
a most amusing old Moslem who died
about the middle Of the last century.
He had great power over the hey and
managed affairs according to his own
pleasure. This Moslem got possession
in Tunis Of four large anchors which
probably belonged to some old men-of-
war abandoned on account Of stress of
weather. The gentleman with the long
name was not content with any such
prosaic explanation of their origin. BY
means Of the labor Of 500 Arabs he
had the anchors dragged from Tunis
and deposited in front Of his house.
The transportation took five months.
He then declared them to be the an
chors by which Noah fastened the ark
to Mount Ararat. The relics are now
in the mosque Of their former owner
and are regarded as holy.

A Knockout.

A young lawyer was engaged in a
case when a witness was put in the
box to testify to the reputation of the
place in question.
This witness In answer to a query
as to the reputation Of the place re-
piled, "a poor shop"
The lawyer inquired, "You say 1t
has the reputation of being a poor
shop?"
Eyes, sir"
"Whom did you hear say 1t was a
poor shopY"
The witness did not recollect any
one he had heard say so.
"What!' said the lawyer. "You have
sworn this place has the reputation of
being poor shop and yet cannot tell
Of any one you have ever heard say
SOP"
The witness was staggered for a
moment at the words of the lawyer.
The lawyer was feeling triumphant
when the witness gathered himself
together and quietly remarked, ad-
dressing the lawyer:
"Well, you have the reputation Of
being a poor lawyer, but have never
heard any one say So"

His Rules of Golf.

A lawyer Of considerable prominence
took up the game of golf. Some of
his friends volunteered chapters of
advice, while another presented to the
beginner a book Of rules. After COM
plotting his first round the counselor
was asked If he had mastered the
rules. The perspiring lawyer realized
the sarcasm of the remark, but proved
equal to the occasion. 1.-The rules? Oh,
they are quite simple" he replied.
'"rhere are two | know of, and to my
mind they are the most important.
You must hit the ball with your club.
and after you have hit it you must
find it, of course. before you hit it
again. 1t will take an honest man sew
eral weeks to master these two rules.
After driving the ball you must hit it
wherever it lies. Good lies are as i'm
portant in golf as in fishing. Losing
ball costs you two strokes and the
price Of the ball. Hitting a caddie
with the bail is justifiable homicide"

Not What He Seemed.

Lieutenant General j. NJ. Griersor
tells an amusing story of some maneu
vers in which he took part. Only a
small body Of troops were being ac
tually employed, and skeleton forces
were the rule-in other words. small
bodies Of men represented whole divi
sions. General Grierson with his staff
was riding along lane when he sud
denly came upon one Of the enemy's
pickets sitting calmly by the roadside
Quickly the general rode up to him and
said:
You are my prisoner; you had better
surrender"
The man grinned and pointed to a
flag beside him.
BEG pardon, SIR" he said. "but I am
a brigade of infantry. so you are all

The Turkish Doctory Oath.

In Turkey they have Hippocratic
oath, though they do not call 1t by
that name. 1t is given In Al-Kulliyeh
the magazine published by the Syrian
Protestant college In Beirut. To each
Of the graduates in medicine the oath
was administered by the Turkish head
of the medical examining board. We
cite few of the pledges:
THAT when am called at the same
time by two different patients, the one
rich and the other poor. will accept
the call of the poor without taking
into consideration the money offered
and will do my best for his treatment,
and that ! will never decline TO an
swer any CALL day or night. during the
reign Of common diseases or of an
epidemic or of contagious diseases.
THAT will not ask extra fees from
the patients and will not act against
my conscience by exaggerating their
sickness in order to get the calling
fees.
THAT in case Of doubt as to the
treatment of patient will not leave
his life In danger through a failure to
consult other doctors on account Of

Lord Stratford left In a towering
passion. Calling one Of his attaches,
he ordered him to go In and tell the
man whom he had addressed in such
language. The attache returned with
twinkling eyes.
"what did you say?'' asked the am
bassador.

A Quick Wittsd Doctor.

A French surgeon who was once at
tending n sultan resorted to an expe-
dent which, although efficacious,
might have resulted in his own death.
He had been commissioned to bleed
the grand seignior and either through
timidity or nervousness had met with
an awkward accident. The point of
the lancet broke off In the vein, and
the blood would not flow. That point
must be got out somehow. Without
stopping to consider the consequences
to himself, the surgeon gave his high
ness violent slap In the face. This
produced the desired effect, for sur
prise and indignation on the part of
his august patient put the blood into
violent circulation. The vein bled
freely, and the lancet point came out.
The bystanders were about to lay
hands on the surgeon when he said,
First let me finish the operation and
bandage the wound" This done, he
threw himself at the feet Of the sultan
and explained his action.
The sultan not only pardoned him.
but gave him handsome reward for
keeping his wits about him In a crit
ical moment.

Ginsenu's Growth.

The manner OF the ginseng's growth
gives 1t queer shape and in some
cases fabulous value. There is first
a main root or trunk. Then on the
sides there will be smaller roots, one
on side, and by curious formation
the offshoots resemble arms and legs,
so that the full grown ginseng looks
for the world like a human figure.
The more the fancied likeness to the
human form is developed the greater
the value, according to some Of the
Chinese. The root as an herb has
wonderful properties, but, too. so
much beyond Is the value Of one that
looks human. The others will cure
cancers and all sorts Of other diseases,
but the precious one having the hui
man shape will keep Off devils and all
bad luck.-Argonaut.
