REFLECTION.

REFLECTION. soldier of the Sultan
 Lay hiding in a ditch. "The trouble with the Turk, he said. ils very plainovitch. He has too much religion
 Confounded with the state, And he can't tell one from t'other When the need is very great. He rises in the morning A little after four, And long petitions Allah,
 With his forehead to the floor. He badgers him for riches, And the fruitage of the tides, And he asks him for a harem full Of young Circassian brides. He asks him for fig tree, And he asks him for vine, And he asks him for some rye bread And goatskin full of wine. He never tires of asking, His mood is soft and meek, And he gets his Sundays all mixed Up With the balance of the week. He kneels from four to seven Prostrated to the east, And you wouldn't fancy when he quits His pants were ever creased. ''The Bulgar on the other hand, Arises in the dark, And while the son of Allah prays, Is shooting at a mark. He swings an old tomato can A bit above the ground, And every time he fires at it The can goes round and round. He lies down on his stomach Behind bale of hay, And spins the old tomato can Around the other way. He sets little shaving glass Upright upon his nose, And rolls the target like wheel Performing with his toes. He never mentions Allah, His lips are close and mute, And the east is where the sun comes up So he can see to shoot A soldier of the Sultan Lay hiding in ditch. "The trouble with the Turk" he said, "Is very plainovitch." Clark McAdams in the St. Louis Post- Dispatch.

LOTI IN HIS YOuTH

From Chronicle and Comment in the
 December Bookman.
 Julien Viaud entered the naval school, and made his first real voyage on the Jean Bart in the Mediterranean. Then he started from Lorient to join the Fibre, vessel navigating from San Francisco to Valparaiso and some times visiting the coast of Polynesia. The journal of his childhood was as- suming serious proportions. When he was not on duty he was writing or drawing his impressions of the new lands. He was 2S, the age of McAn- drews in the Kipling poem:
 By day like playhouse scenes the
 shores slid past his sleepy eyes;
 By night the soft, lascivious stars
 leered from the velvet skies
 His father had died, his elder brother was dead, his mother and sister were in a precarious position, and Lott was helping them with part of his very meagre officers pay While serving on board the Fibre he spent several weeks at Tahiti falling in love with the enchanting scenery and the beau tiful inhabitants and drawing from them the inspiration for his Rarahu. In 1876 when a sub lieutenant. he was transferred to the Gladiateur at Con- stantinoplee. He is described as hay ing been at that time extremely cold and reserved, looking much younger than he really was, making few friends, always going on shore alone, and when the service allowed, staying for long periods away from the ship, walking about the streets of Stamboul dressed as a Turk, and in the company of na- tives Very likely at this epoch he was living the romance of Azyade.

"I have been interested in looking over price current issued in Mobile on March 10, 1S66 by Webster & Wilson, said a club man. "The first named member of the firm has long since departed, but the other member is and has been for many years one of Birmingham's best known and most esteemed citizens, Mr. H. F. wilson.
 "The price current is very complete covering as it does the quotations of groceries, produce, provisions and Ala bama bank notes and change bills; also receipts of cotton at Mobile. receipts of naval stores, receipts of lumber exports of cotton, comparative number of ves- sells in the port of Mobile, etc
 Flour was quoted at $14 to s15 bar rell for choice double extra and $l1 to s11 50 for superfne family. Champagne prices were $40 to S45 dozen for fancy brands and S3S to S35 for Heidsiek by the dozen quarts. Porter and ale were sell
 ing at $G to s7 a dozen in quarts and at s to $9. 50 in pints. Under the head of tobacco choice chewing was quoted at s1. 20 to S1 5O a pound; second class, 75 cents to 80 cents a pound; smoking $1.2o to $1.50 a pound; common smoking, 50 cents to SO cents a pound. Strict mid ding cotton was quoted at 42 cents pound.
 Under the head. of Monetary and Fiji nanciaP was this remark: We have had another week of very unsettled state of things in general. especially in cot fa cfa domestic N change
