Here's a Spelling Lesson.

Students in a London school were recently asked to write this: "A gluttonous sibyl with her glutinous hand complaccntly seized a sieve, a phthisical ichneumon, noticeably supcrcilious, irascible and cynical sergeant, an embarrassed and har- asscd chrysalis, shrieking sheik, a complaisant proselyte and an anonymous chrysolite. These all suddenly disappeared down her re- captive esophagus. She simply said: 'Pugh. Not saccharin!' She then transferred billion of bilious mos quitocs, an unstable bouquet of fuchsias. lilies. dahlias, hyacinths and phlox, d liquetied bdellium, an indclible defamatory inhammatory synchronism and debatablc syllo- gism to the same capacious recepta- cle. PeaceabIy surrcndering her dagucrreotype to the ecstatic aero naut, she descended with her para chutc-a synonym for barouche-- and grievously terrified the stolid, squalid yeomanry already torrefied by the heat, l0l Fahrenheit"

psmaSsus fs Stiii What 1t waj bSfJrs' the Days of Abraham.

the Days of Abraham.
 If you were suddenly asked to name the oldest city in the world which is still in Aourishing con- dition, what would be your answer?
 In nine cases out of ten the per- son to whom such a query might be propounded would hark back to Egypt, Greece or Rome. He would be wrong. The oldest city in the world is Damascus.
 Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore, Baalbec is ruin, Pal myra is buried in a desert, Ninevah and Babylon have disappeared from the Tigris and the Euphrates. Da- mascus remains what it was before the days of Abraham-a center of trade and travel-an isle of verdure in the desert, "a presidential capi- tal," with martial and sacred as- sociations extending through thirty centuries.
 It was near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the light above the brightness of the sun. The street which is called Straight, in which it was said "he prayed," still runs through the city.
 The city which Mohammed sur veycd from d neighboring height and was afraid to enter "because it was given to man to have but one paradise, and for his part he was resolved not to have it in this world," is today what Julian called the FEye of the East," as it was in the time of Isaiah 'the head of Syria
 From Damascus came the dam son, our blue plums, and the de- licious apricot of Portugal called damasco; damask, our beautiful fabric of cotton and silk, with vines and flowers raised upon smooth, bright ground; the damask rose in- troduced into England in the time of Henry V1II.; the Damascus blade, SO famous the world over for it's keen edge and wonderful elas- ticity, the secret of whose manu- facture was lost when Tamerlane carried the artist into Persia, and that beautiful art of inlaying wood and steel with gold and silver, 8 kind of mosaic engraving and sculp- turc united-called damaskeening with which boxes, bureaus and swords are ornamented.-Exchange.

Alexis Piron.

Alexis Piron, d native of Dion, is perhaps most notorious for his epitdph, :"Flere lies Piron, who, was nothing-not even an academician." One night he was asked at party if he could tell the difference be- tween a woman and mirror. "A woman," he replied, "talks without retlecting; a mirror reflects without talking" Upon this lady asked, "Can you now, NJ. Piron, tell me the difference between d man and a mirror?'' And as Piron remained silent she went on, "A mirror is all ways polished. while man some- times is not"
