There was an old man running about
pleading for us to rescue his son. He
was badly hurt himself, but he pleaded
and wept for aid to bring his son out of

he was brought out. He was cut entirely
in two. We had the mangled remains

old man believe his son was still in the
wreck.

PLAYING THE GAME.
2 love, l love-" the dukelet cried,
Il love. love but youi"
The maid of millions soft replied,
4 hope your words are true,
But would you love me just the same,
II I were poor today?"
And then the dukelet felt such shame
He lightly swooned away.
When the smelling salts had brought him
back
Anon he was himself,
And did persuade the maid, alack,
He did not care for pelf
So they were wed-in the title mart,
Deceit was Ger a factor;
The girl herself but played part,
While the duke was a darned good

And who is there could ever tell
The gladness of the morning

And blithesome birds are winging,
And children romp-a happy throng-
And every heart is singing!

The Why of Some Things.

The sense of taste is not given to
us merely that we may derive from
it pleasure in eating. 1t is the cen
sor, and in a healthy. normal per-
son announces to the mind by a
sense Of enjoyment or dislike what
is good or bad for the body's labO-
ratory. the stomach. Every one
knows how essential dressing of
oil or vinegar is to a vegetable sal
ad, but few have thought to inquire
the reason. All vegetables contain
celloloSe, a hard. fibrous substance
that the human stomach cannot
dissolve, but which vinegar readily
reduces to condition acceptable
to the stomach. Vinegar. however,
used by itself. is injurious to the
stomach, and so oil is added.
Why does bread taste better with
butterY Because wheat flour does
not contain fat, and butter supplies
that necessary quality. Then. too,
butter contains small quantity of
substances. called extractiveS. which
in some way stimulate the appetite
and aid digestion.
Why use pepper. mustard and
spices! Because they stimulate the
glands Of the stomach and start
them to work to produce an abund-
ant supply Of digestive juices. They
also stimulate the Unconstitutional
Daily.

Berly's Boudoir.

She is a vain and foolish lass;
she stands before the looking-glass,
and fuses with her pins and rats,
and tried on half a dozen hats, and
fixes doodads in her hair, and tints
her cheeks, already fair. And when
she's fooled three hours away, and
she appears, in glad array. she isn't
half as nice and neat, she isn't half
as slick and sweet as she appeared,
four hours ago, when she was wear
ing calico. If she would take the
time she fools away with paints
and curling tools. and read some
books, of prose or rhyme. she'd get
some value for her time. She pads
her head outside with rats, ma
chine-made hair and monster hats;
and eladness might with her abide,
if she would pad her head inside.
For beauty is a transient thing; the
hurried years are on the wing: the
dazzling maiden of to-day will soon
be haggard, worn and gray; and In
life's winter. when she sits beside
her lonely hearth and knits. it will
not lessen her despair. to think of
rats she used to wear. But if her
mind is stored with gold from books
the sages wrote of old. with ancient
lore or modern song, the days will
not seem drear and long; life's twi-
light will be calm and fair, and
loneliness will not be there.

goat. After pushing our way through
narrow streets filled with Turks,
Arabs, goats, sheep and dogs, we en-
tered a large cemetery, through which
passed one of the principal streets.
Sheep and goats were driven in the
cemetery and placed on exhibition for
sale. The graves were very thick, and
in place of a dirt mound, they were
topped with peaked mounds of cement.
We passed down into crypt and saw
the grave of Mohammed's daughter,
buried 1900 years ago, Everywhere
we have been on the Mediterranean
the principal animal of service seems
to be the donkey, and in Syria they
seem more in use, only averaging
smaller in size. We saw everywhere,
these little beasts, scarcely as large as
Newfoundland dog, staggering along
under immense loads of hay, sand,
stone and manure, the latter evidently
SO much in demand for fertilizing, that

drove out past the house and window
where Paul was let down in the bas-
ket. We then wound around through
the crooked streets until we came to
the house of Ananias, (not the noted
liar) but the good man. We went down
and through it, a clergyman of the
party reading few verses from the
bible, bearing on Ananias. We then
visited large factory where line
brass goods were being made, also in
laid wood tables and stands. They
claim Damascus has 225,000 popula-

people live like rats in hole, do not
cover one-fourth the area an Amer

cover. We next drove through the
Damascus maze of covered lanes lined
with the little booths In places our
carriages almost completely filled the
street and the people lodged into the

drove into the noted street of Paul.

years up, working as timers, wood

occupations of the place. The famed

featured here for many hundreds o.
years. AS Damascus has an altitude
