Circular Boats.

Still used to a considerable extent,
circular boats in the Tigris may be
seen at Bagdad, just as they appear
ed 1000 years ago, when Herodotus
wrote: 1.-The boats which come down
the river to Babylon are circular and
made of skins. The frames, which are
of willow. are cut in the country of
the Armenians above Assyria, and on
these, which serve for bulls, a covering
of skins is stretched outside, and thus
the boats are made. without either
stem or stern, quite round, like a
shield. They are then entirely filed
with straw, and their cargo is put on
board, after which they are suffered
to float down the stream. Their chief
freight is wine, stored in casks made
of the wood of the palm tree. They
are managed by two men, who stand
upright in them, each plying an oar.
one pulling and the other pushing.
The boats are Of various sizes, some
larger. some smaller. The biggest
reach as high as 5000 talents burthen.
Each vessel has a live ass on board.
Those Of larger size have more than

pie In the Middle Aces.

The trustfu1 and childlike piety Of
the middle ages believed that the citi-
gems Of heaven were interested in ev-
not a single trade, profession or occu-
patton that did not boast a special
patron while certain diseases were
thought to be cured and certain vista
lions Warded off through the interces-
sion and agency of particular saints.
Thus st. Andrew was the patron of
fishermen, st. Isidore of husbandmen,
st. Christopher of porters, st. Mark Of
lawyers, SIS. Cosmas and Damian of
doctors, st. Joseph Of carpenters, St.
Crispin of shOemakers, st. Nitus of ac-
tors, st. Gregory of singers, st. Dismas
supposed name of the good thief OF
criminals condemned to death. ST. Apol-
lonia was believed to cure toothache,
ST. Blaise sore throat, SIS. Glare and
Lucy sore eyes, while st. Benedict pre-
served his clients from poison and St.
Hubert from the bite of mad dogs.
Men," says Montalembert, lived in
q tender and intimate familiarity with
those forefathers whom God had evi-
IDENTIFY called to himself and whose
sanctity the church has proclaimed.
From the king and the pontiff to the
poorest workman each had a special
protector in heaven, and in the battles,
dangers and sorrows of life these holy
friendships exercised a most consoling
and strengthening influence" - Irish

THE WORD "L0VE."

IN the OFIGnI IL NIGHTS ~ LlN0 VI 10
Used to Express Good Will.
The word love" has been more high
" specialized in the west than in the
east. In its proper English use it
means only that ardent, amorous feel
ing which cannot be created by will
and design. In the west the word
love" has been relieved of the func-
ton Of expressing the less ardent de-
sires. such as the terms ito like" ''to
have good will toward" and ito be
well disposed toward simply.
Not so in the east. The word like. ;"
meaning ito be favorably inclined to-
ward" is not found either in the Bible
or in the Arabic tongue. In the Eng
lish version of the Bible it is used in
two places, but the translation is in
correct. In the twenty-ffth chapter Of
Deuteronomy and the seventh verse.
IF the man like not to take his broth
er's wife, should be rendered IF the
man consent not" and in the fourth
chapter Of Amos, the fifth verse, 'For
this liketh you, O We children Of Is
rael'' is in the original, For this ye
loved, o We children of Israel" In
any standard concordance of the Bie
BILE the Hebrew verb aheb-to love
precedes these quotations.
SO to US orientals the only word
which can express any cordial inclina-
ton of approval is love" One loves
his wife and children and loves grapes
and figs and meat, if he likes these
things. An employer says to an en-
ployee, IF you love to work for me
according to this agreement you can"

terested in you" Love" and ''hate"
are the usual terms by which. to ex.
press approval and disapproval, as
well as real love and hatred.
from all this it may be seen that
when the Great Oriental Teacher said

other clans than their own as their en-
emies, Love your enemies" he did

Apple PeddIers of New York CITY.

On the east side af New York city.
on Ludlow street, south of Grand, is
the wholesale market of the apple ped
dlers. Here there is an animated scene
men wildly shouting and gesticulat-
ing, sidewalks crowded with forests Of
apple barrels. It is almost impossible
to pass along even in the street for the
dozens of peddlers' carts lined up there.
Suddenly there is commotion, and
crowd gathers at the curb. A barrel
of apples is on sale, bids rise at pen
ny bid, and finally the highest bidder
carries off his prize. Everywhere are
barrels overlooking with cheerful red
and yellow apples which the peddlers
will carry off to peddle in other parts
of the city. The wholesale apple deal
ers rent Easements along this street in
which to store their wares. In the
morning they bring out and strew the
barrels all over the narrow, dingy
stretch of Ludlow street.

That Old. Old Table.

1t is impossible to know who was the
author of the multiplication table, but
it is known to have been in existence
in the days of the builders of the ruin
ed cities of Mesopotamia. whose rec
ords are now being patiently decipher-
ed by archaeologists. Tablets are
found which tell us of their system of
education. banking, accounting, bust
ness correspondence, ETC., and among
others are multiplication tables. So
the multiplication table is probably not
less than G,O0O years old.-Christian

saw the windows were empty and | knew
that the pictures of the dear little dimpled
babies, one hundred Of them, were to be
changed for an entirely new display. Of
course | was eager to see it and soon every
picture was in place What elegant por-
traits they are! Some of them are very
large, and all show such natural poses and
such unusual work. Bisbee portraits have
the Bisbee originality, quality that is indi-
vidual, and far, far from the beaten path of
the ordinary trend of portraiture.
just wish you could see this last exhibit,
Alice | told Mrs. Bisbee l had never seen
anything quite 50 splendid in studio show

said, for, taken as a whole, in some ways
this display of portraits is the finest we
have ever had. And doesn't it give wide
range of lightings and styles? There is
every type of subject, you see, and We have
interpreted each personality in the way we
thought best suited to it,
And that is one charm of the Bisbee por-
trait-the bringing out of each ones best.
For, call it pride or vanity, or whatever you
WILL we all like to appear at our best. If

tempted to have mine made; but-suppose
