An Egyptian, when he has a lawsuit
on hand,' Ii lds that success is a duty. If
perjury will win the suit, ho will per
jure himself and a troop of friends will
ui I him. A French physician, in the
employ of tho Egyptian government,
tells ii similar story illustrating the
length to which nu Egyptian will go in
order to wiu his case. Tlio Frenchman
was accompanying Litif Pusha. the Gov
ernor General of Upper Egypt, on a tour
of inspection. While stoppiug at a cer
tain village, two nion appeared before
tho Pasha to complain that their Sheik
had strangled ono of their relations nnd
seized tho laud.
The body was brought iu sowed up in
its shroud. "How long has ho boon
dead?" asked tho physician.
"Several hours."
"S'.rip the body," ordered the physi
cian. Ho examined it, found it still warm,
tlio pnlso beating, the eyes closed and no
involuntary motion.
The physician ordered tho siles of the
feet to he whipped, as a counter irritant
would relieve the head, if life was uot
extinct. The dead man overhearing the
order, opened his eyes and ai-ked for
water.
"God is merciful," exclaimed tho
eoniplaiuers, "and has restored him to
life!"
The Pasha, however, took quite n dif
ferent view of the case, and ordered each
of them to bo bastiuudoed. While this
was being done, the physician whispered
to tho corpse
"Your turn will come uoxt; you had
better slip away."
Tho man threw off his shroud and
ran otT. Ho was pursued, caught,
brought back and bastinadoed. Having
thus disposed of the fraudulent plead
ing the Pasha heard tho merits of the
case.
The man, it appeared, having been
unlawfully dispossessed by the Suiek of
his land, thought it would strengthen
his ease iu the Pasha's eyes if ho should
add the charge of murder to that of il
legal eviction.

Colonel James Stephenson, of the
Bureau of Ethnology, has returned from
New Mexico, where he has been making
some fut thor exultations of the ancient
elitl towns. He has made un Important
discovery which is believed to definitely
fix tho cive dwellers at a much later
period than has been supposed by
archaeologists. It has been thought here
tofore that these cave dwellers lived far
back iu tho distaut pisi measured by a
hunared ages. Colonel Stephenson's
discoveries indicate that not more than
three centuries ago they were living iu
these habitations carved out of the face
of tho cliffs, and that tho race is of a
comparatively recent time. This conola
fiou is arrived at by thefiudingof a lot of
mummies well preserved, fonnd in posi

A Western mau went to New York on a
littlo spree, nnd he found that every
time ho mado a move it jerked his pock
etbook open. On Sunday he went to
church, and tho sermon was on "Free
Salvntion." When it was about half
over, ho nroso in his seat and said:
"Look bore, Mr. lVnebor, did I un
derstand yon to Bay that salvation was
free here?"'
"Yes, brother, full and free to all who
ask." .
"Well, I'm a steer, if I ain't glad to
hear it. Everything I've struck in New
York yet has cost so diim much money
that I didn't think anything was free.
I guess I'll take n littlo of it if you'll let
me seo n sample."
But beforo he conld continue uis re
marks n deacou collared him uud he was
tired out.
"Iknowedit," he said, as tho doors
closed on him. "That preacher waspnt
tin' up a job on me, and this is what I
git for being such a danged suMter as to
bite. Now York ain't no toun for mo to
live in, und I'm going out West where, a
man has a show for his white alley."

Wine tit Princeton.
The rigid moral discipline of Prince
ton college has become so famous that
the suspension of several students for un
seemly hilarity after the free use of wine
at a party given in honor of a guest from
Harvard is a surprise, not to to say a
shock, to the public Dr. McCosh com
plains that students began to smuggle
wine over to Priuceton from Now York,
und the powers of the faculty will be
devoted to the work of breaking up the
pernicious practice. The severe discip
line applied in the case of the youths who
diank to excess tho other night or.more
literally, who were drunk is expected
to effect the desired reformation without
the application of the extreme peualty of
expulsion for any of tho offenders. Cer
tainly if young men from the best
funiiiies of tho country, ns Princeton
students arc, cannot nso wiuo without
abusing it, the prohibition doctriuo
ought everywhere to prevail. Mail and

Eat, Cat and Puri'Y Pie. In Canton
we visited a restaurant where oats, rats
and dogs were served for food. Dig
stei.k, fried rat or eat stew were to be
bad at any hour. It has often been de
nied and many affirm that it is only one
of the old Peter Parley's stories that the
Chinese eat these things. But it is trno.
We saw a whole puppy stewed in a largo
kettle. We saw a table full of men sat-i-fying
their hunger with dog meat, and
th"y ate with a hearty relish. Wo saw
cats aud pups iu cages for sale, aud rats
hung up waiting for purchasers. The
dishes looked savory and the price of a
meal was "dog cheap," but we did not
indulge in any "bowwow" soup or feline
steak or rodent pot pie. We weren't
hungry just then. Tho Celestials will
tell you "rat number one good eutec,"
and show you rats skinned, rats salted,
rats dried, rats hung np by the tails and
rats strung on strings. If you doubt tho
genuineness of the article, the proprie
tor will show tho moat with the hair and
tail attached for identification.
A man on Cambridge street the other
day was in trouble. Ho bad bitched to
an express wagon an ngly old mare, who
switched her tail and stood and kicked
ns hard as she knew hew'to. The brute
was so strapped down that sho couldn't
do any particular damage, but she
wouldn't go along, and persisted in try
ing to kick the wagon into fragments. A
crowd collected aud folks began to ad
vise tho man what to do,' and presently
he got so mad be wanted to cry and lie
swore fluently. To policeman, who
came to bis assistance, he said: "I don't
mind the old brute' kickin'; I'm nsed
to that. But, by hokey, I wish them
cusses were in my place and I bad the
advising of them! I'd make 'em sick!"

Technical kducatlon in Belgium.
Ono of the Commissioners on Techical
Education of Great Britian gives some
interesting particulars concerning the at
tention paid to technical education in the
famous works "of John Cockorill, of
Scruiug, Belgium. In the severul do
partments of mining, smelting, forging
and machine making about 10,000 nun
are einploved, and the wages paid
amount to about 82,000,000 per acuum.
About 100 draftsmen nre employed, of
whom 25 are German nnd Swiss
from tho polytechnio schools of their
respective countries. Sevoral free night
schools are intended by boy nnd adults
from the works, numbering nearly 2,000.
There is also an industrial or technical
school, attonded by about eighty fitters,
boilermakers nnd young men from all
the departments, whilo a mining school
in connection with the works is attended
by about 200 students. According to
statements mndo by tho direotjr of the
steel department, nil young men under
eighteen years employed in that depart
ment nre required to nttond the night
school, and absence is, in some cases
punished by expulsion from the works.
A similar state of things exists at the
zino works near Liege, the Viella Mon
tague, employing some 7,500 nion, and
where intelligence in nil tho operations
is insisted upon to such an extent that
apprentices aro required to attend the
evening schools. It is not thought tint
tho attendance at the night schools makes
the young men bettor workmen, but it is
considered to traiu them to habits of
thought &nd reflection, to keep them
from worse places and to tend iu all re
spects to mako them better men.

Moruid Appetite for Paper. There
recently died in a town near St. Louis a
woman named Latimer, who had a mor
bid appetite for paper. Sho literally de
voured books, newspapers, and all kinds
of literature. She would chew up a
magazine with the same relish .that an
ordinary poison would manifest in eat
ing a sirloin steuk. She was especially
fond of printed matter. The ink seemed
to add an additional flavor to the prov
ender. She would tear from their bind
ings and masticato the leaves, or, if
nothing moro delectable was at hand, sho
fed upon common straw wrapping-paper,
snch as the grocers' and butchers' par
cels are wrapped up in. Sho is said to
have inherited the curious appetite, and
to have begun to chew paper simulta
neously with the cutting of her first
teeth. Paper was a monomania with
her. She was an intelligent womnn and
indulged in no other freaks. During
the closing years of her life her friends
had to keep a constant guard over her
to prevent her from swallowing the con
tents of book cases nnd despoiling the
parlor table of its poetry and its art.
