A Long Walk.

a professor of the University OF
Pennsylvania who has greatly en-
deared himself to the students on
account Of his kind heartedness has
one particular failing-that of alb
sentmindedness, the Philadelphia
Times relates.
He visited his married nephew
and had listened to the young wifc's
praise of her frstborn. The gen
tleman felt that he must say some
thing to give the impression that
he was interested
"Can the dear little fellow
walk" he inquired quietly.
"Walk? ?" the mother shouted
"Why. he has been walking for five
monthsn'
"Dear mel! the professor ex-
claimed, lapsing again into abstrac-
ton. "What a long way he must
have got."

4 LITERARY CRIME.
The Destruction Of the Great Library
of Alexandria.

On Dec. 22, 6l0, after siege
that had lasted fourteen months,
the great Mohammedan general
Amrou found himself master of the
renowned city Of Alexandria, the
capital Of Egypt and at that time
the commercial and intellectual me-
tropolis of the world.
To his master, the Caliph Omar,
Amrou wrote, Il have captured
Alexandria. a city containing 1000
palaces, 1000 baths, 10000 dealers
in fresh oil, 10000 gardeners, 40
600 Jews who pay tribute and 400
theaters and other places of amuse-
ment."
Amrou made no reference in his
letter to the magnificent library,
concerning which there has come
down the following story: John the
Grammarian. the most learned man
of his day. being in Alexandria at
the time, begged Of Amrou that he
would give him the library. Amrou
told him that it was not in his pow
er to grant such a request, but that
he would write to the caliph about
it.
Omar, on hearing the request of
his general, sent back the reply:
"If those books contain the same
doctrine as the Koran they are Of no
use, since the Koran contains all
needful truth; on the other hand,
if they contain anything contrary
to the Koran they ought to be de-
stroyed. Therefore, whatever their
contents may be, order them to
be committed to the flames"
Accordingly they were distribute
ed among the public baths of the
city, where for more than six
months they served to supply the
fires.
The loss to the intellectual
wealth Of the world by that ruling
of Omar is incalculable. The stored
up wisdom Of ages was in that Alex
andrian library, and with the de-
struction Of the precious volumes
facts were lost which were never to
be recovered. The caliph's igno-
rant and fanatical belief in the in
fallibility of the Koran worked hu-
manity the harm that can never be
atoned for while the world stands.

Told Her Story.

The little daughter of "a man who
had been chosen for jury duty in
London the other dav went to the
judge and said: please, sir, father
can't come. He can't put on his
boots"
The Judge asked the nervous lit
A.. tie creature what was the matter
with her father. Her hesitation
showed that she had not been suf-
ficiently equipped for the complete
deception Of the wary official. He
repeated his question.
"Well, SIR she said, looking
straight into the judges twinkling
eyes, "father don't wear boots. He's
got wooden legs. | wasn't told to
tell you anything else, sir; that's

STRANGE Children.

George Bancroft, the historian,
used to relate with gusto a joke that
he caught while trotting to school
along Massachusetts country road.
1t was about old Levi Lincoln, says
Percy II. Epler in "Master Minds at
the Commonwealth Heart" The
old gentleman was nearly blind. A
flock of geese was being driven COB
bling up Lincoln street. Leaning
far out of the carriage, the fine old
aristocrat, thinking they were chill
dren, threw out a handful of pen
nies, graciously exclaiming:
"God bless you, my children!"

An Interpreter Needed.

The following story from Har-
per's Magazine furnishes rare in
stance of that devotion to foreign
language which has caused one to
forget for the moment that he
speaks his own tongue:
An Englishman. who spent his
time in adapting plays from the
French for the British stage, was
dining once in an English hotel
when, after he had eaten, he was
seized with desire to smoke. He
called the waiter and said to him:
"Peut-on fumer lei? ?"
The man looked blank. "I don't
understand a word of French, sir, "
he said.
The adapter was in despair.
''Then for PHYS sake send me some
one who doesp he exclaimed.
