As a matter of fact, it was fortunate for you that he did so. Conditions have changed in Tiflis. I came from Stavropol solely to investigate the fact that an American, of whom I had never heard. was in a Russian prison. I supposed it was one of those blatant nihilists who claim American citizenship. but after a thorough invoStigation I learned that the man’s only crime was loving a Rus sian beauty.

A sheep farmer in the Cheviot hills of Scotland had been told that it was round dial, which he hung up in his lobby and duly consulted every day without much ediflcation. At last there came a spell of rainy weather, while the barometer marked “set fair." The rain continued to fail heavily and still the hand on the dial made no sign of truth. At last he took the instru- ment from its nail and marched with it to the bottom of the garden, where a burn, swollen with the drainage of the higher slopes, was rushing along. He then thrust exclaiming. A carpenter in a Scotch vmage, to oblige the local undertaker, who was ill, went to screw down a coffin lid. The dead man’s wife gave him full and particular instructions respecting the task. “Weel,” she asked when he re- turned, “hoo did ye get on?” . "Fine,” was the reply. “But there was hauf a sovereign in the corp’s hand. What was that for?” “011." said the lady, “that’s a custom some folks hae.

Sussex, England, there is a windmill which was built in 1492. One of the hottest regions of the earth’s surface is in the immediate vi- cinity of the Dead sea.
