STANDS OESOLATE IN DESERT
Once Splendid City of ctesiphon, Now
Heap of Ruins, Peoped by crea.
lures of the Wild.

A few miles south of Bagdad on
the banks of the TigriS are the ruins
of once great city-the Ctesiphon of
history and romance. In the ancient
days splendid palaces rose beside the
sleepy Tigris waters; gorgeous war
riorS drove their ChariOts through the
city'S broad, straight streets; visitors
from every land came to Ctesiphon TO
wonder at the SplendOr of the Parthian
kings. Now the glory and pomp are
gone. The palaces of the great kings
have crumbled into dust and only the
walls of the white palace stand bleak
and bare against the hot Persian sky
The city has surrendered to the wild
and the banquet halls of ChOsroeS the
Great are the nightly haunts Of desert
creatures.
The hush of the desert seems to wrap
the crumbling ruins in still blanket
of silence. The old river slips quietly
by on its way to join the Euphrates
and the sea. Even the desert winds
seem to hush their wailing cry over
the ruins of the past. 1t is place Of
silence-the grave of a city AMI a
people.
Only the vaulted hall of ChosrOes
has withStoNi the ravages of the ages
Its great walls still stapd stark and
grim. defying man and time. The
Arabs claim the spirit of the king re-
visits the scene of his grandeur and
holds a ghoStly court among its ruins
No longer do stately barges float
down the Tigris and stop at Ctesiphon.

are the only visitors. The tiny donkeys

How Children of Brittany Were Accus-

How the spirit of loss concerning

in the younger generation in Brittany
can be seen from the following story
writes Il correspondent OF the Man
chester (EngD Guardian: A little
French boy of six was excessively bel
licose during the war. and he said
ominously OF his still smaller sisters
dolls that he did not know what might
happen should he discover them to be
spies. An English woman who was
staying in the house was much sur
prised, therefore. one morning to see
him embracing pasSiOnately a large
and beautiful doll. She leased him
about it. whereupOn he rounded upon
her in a fury, crying: ITS not Il

has Character All Its Own.

Crossing the Kings road. we come
to the more Fashionable part of Church
street, or to speak accurately. the part
which the well-meant efforts of many
architects have failed TO make fash
ionable-fOr despite some fine red
buildings of a modern character. and
rows of sedate houses in such rural
sounding spots as Mulberry walk, and
The Vale, Church street remains what
it always has been "a little bit of
everything and all sorts, belonging
neither to a time nor period but
possessing a character all its own"
There are little houses and big houses
in Church street, short houses and
tall houses, new houses trying to look
old, and old houses trying to look new.
Little shops, and large gardens in
whose fine old trees the song of the
thrush and the startling is heard.
Truly, for London street, Church
street is a veritable home of birds,
and perhaps it is that which helps to
give it the old world charm of which
neither time nor change has entirely
robbed it.
Church street re-echoes to the foot
steps of many of the great ones of
history. DR.. Atterbury. distinguished
in wit, learning and pOetical talent,
dwelt here in 1885; DIR. Arbuthnot,
Queen Anne's witty physician, had Il
house at the lower end, and was often
visited by his friends, Swift. Pope and
the poet Gay. Sir John Shadwell son
of the poet laureate. was also resi-

a time, comments in his journal to
Stella on his zone silly room, coarse
