BARGAINING In Arabia.

4 missionary was bargaining one
day with an Arab stonecutter.
Give me ST boatload," said the
Arab.
THAT is too much replied the mis-
slonary. You only charge SO to your
fellow Arabs, and they make you wait
for yeur money. pay spot cash.
YES, but you ought to be glad to get
it for seven" said the stonecutter.
You do not know how much my fell
low Arabs despise me for dealing with
you at all, because you are an inhdol,
you know"
The Arabs are all Mohammedans.
The stronger Christian man Is the
more of an infidel they think him to
be. Missionaries were unwelcome in
that country. Only by their medical
work did they get any foothold at all.
There have perhaps been fewer con-
verts there than on any othc- mission
field. But missions have been estab-
lished there less than thirty years.

siOnaTies live and work and die so that

The ear Of pionxsius.r

a cunnlngly constructed prison cav
ern, consisting of large chamber con-
nected with one of smaller dimensions
situated near Syracuse, Italy, has gone
into legendary history with the title
of the Ear of Dionysius."
The smaller chamber was unknown
to the prisoners kept in this under
ground dungeon, and the tyrant by
whose name it is known had a habit
of secreting himself there to listen TO
the conversation of the conyicts, who
were mostly political offenders.
An ingenious device constructed at
the smaller end of the larger chamber
transmitted the sounds through the
partition. thus enabling the suspicious
ruler to hear even the whispered con
versatiOns of his suspects"
