delitly 11 good deal nwed. At Inst Mrs.
McKInloy, obnervlns the years of tin

down niul the cUIM. too, but Leonora
said adinonlshlngly to her nurse In an
undertone nud holding herself bolt up
right:
"No, mummy. Servants iiumt not

"Why, Leonora," said Mrs. McKIn
ley, much utuuseil, "niaiiimy's an old
woman. And vou sit down yourself.1
"Oh, jos'in." returned the child
grnvely. "ltut, (hen, I'm people."
This reply iienrly bowled the presl

snillcd broadly. Then Mrs. McKInloy
took out her watch, which colitnlus

If I were an artist like you. I would
draw a true picture of Traveler, repre
senting Ids ne proportion, muscular
figure deep chest niul short back,
strong huuinlas. lint legs, small head,
broad forehead, dcllcntu cars, quick
eye small feet and black mane and
tnlk Such a picture would inspire
iioet, whose genius collld then depict
Ids worth and describe Ids endurance
of toll, hunger, thirst, bent, cold nnd
the dangers and sufferings through
which he passed. He could dilate upon
his sugnelty and affection nnd his Inva
riable response to every wish of Ids
rider. He might even Imagine bin
thoughts through the long night march
es nnd days of battle through which he
has passed.

In Persia. on a morning after the ver
min had bieii particularly vigorous, 1
said soinctnlng caustic about getting
i.i.- to Coil's country. An Armenian
who had reposed In utter comfort In
the same carauinsnry heard It and
smiled. living an Armenian, he hated
the Persians probably. Incidentally
the Persian reciprocates.
Well, this Armenian, rubbing Ids
hands and with his head skewed over
on one side, said: "Tliu Persians have a
legend for everything. They have a
legend for what you said Just now. It
Is this:
"Allah-that Is (iud-once snld to tils
angel, 'I will see His world which I
made'
"And so Allah and the angel descend
ed Invisible In a cloud to tho earth,
and the first place nt which they ar
rived was Frauce-tliat Is, In Furen
ghlstan. And there they taw Hie rail
roads, and the tramway s and the the
aters, and the great plftt.ro galleries.
And Allah looked In disappointment
mid said: 'Alas, no! This Is not the
world which I made. I nuule none of
these things.'
'"So they Journeyed to Inglczlstan
thtit Is, Lngland - and there were
mighty ships In the hnrbors nnd huge
mills which mnke nil soils of things
nnd food ill plenty. And again Allah
said: 'Alas, no! This Is not the world
which I made.' And everywhere- tliey
traveled in the cloud Allah looked upon
the laud and said, 'No; this Is nut It.'
"At Inst, In despair, the nngel led the
way to Pei'sln, and Allah sat himself
down upoi a very I11J1 mountain, ami.
looking far on every side, he saw nei
ther railroads nor tramways nor thea
ters nor picture galleries nor ships nor
mills nor schoolliouses nor plenty to
eat.
"And Allah said: 'Yes, at Inst. This
Is the world which I made. Not a
thing Is changed. The people whom I
put there I ive done nothing.' "
Why didn't lie come lo AinerlenV I
asked.

Persia they had not even heard of
America."- Harper's Weekly.

The pupil of today would think his
opportunities very great If lie could
see the school equipment of a hundred
yi ill's ago. A Morris county (X. .1.)
school of that s'l'lod Is thus described
In an old letter of one of Its attendants:
The biilldi g was constructed of logs,
and instead of glass for windows.
sheepskins were stretched ncr the
ipei tures uinile by sawing off an neon-
iniial lug The windows had one
merit- they prevented pupils from
being I ii-rrupled In their study by
what was going on outside. The time
was legiilnieil by an hourglass, ami
th pupils drank water fioni a turn
bier in.ide ol a cow's Innu or from
ground shell.
In spile uf these differences of equip
incut, the schools ot u century ago re
setuhled those of today lu one notable
rcspect-they hud for the most paii
