0»« Day* of Abraham.
If you vfere suddenly asked to
name tag oldest city in the world
which is still in a flourishing con
dition, what would be your answer ?
In nine cases out of ten the per
son to whom such a query might
be propounded would hark back to
Egypt, Greece or Rome. He would
be wrong. The oldest city in the
world is Damascus.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore, Baalbec is a ruin, Pal
myra is buried in a desert, Ninevah
and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Da
mascus remains what it was before
the days of Abraham—a center of
trade and travel—an isle of verdure
in the desert, “a presidential capi
tal,” with martial and sacred as
sociations extending through thirty
centuries.
It was near Damascus that Saul
of Tarsus saw the light above the
brightness of the sun. The street
which is called Straight, in which
it was said “he prayed,” still runs
through the city.
The city which Mohammed sur
veyed from a neighboring height
and was afraid to enter “because
it was given to man to have but one
paradise, and for his part he was
resolved not to have it in this
world,” is today what Julian called
the “Eye of the East,” as it was in
the time of Isaiah “the head of
Syria.”
From Damascus came the dam
son, our blue plums, and the de
licious apricot of Portugal called
daraasco; damask, our beautiful
fabric of cotton and silk, with vines
and flowers raised upon a smooth,
bright ground; the damask rose in
troduced into England in the time
of Henry VIII.; the Damascus
blade, so famous the world over for
its keen edge and wonderful elas
ticity, the secret of whose manu
facture was lost when Tamerlane
carried the artist into Persia, and
that beautiful art of inlaying wood
and steel with gold and silver, a
kind of mosaic engraving and sculp
ture united—called damaskeening
—with which boxes, bureaus and
swords are ornamented.—Exchange.
Here's a Spelling Lesson.
Students in a London school were
recently asked to write this: “A
gluttonous sibyl with her glutinous
hand complacently seized a sieve, a
phthisical ichneumon, a noticeably
supercilious, irascible and cynical
sergeant, an embarrassed and har
assed chrysalis, a shrieking sheik,
a complaisant proselyte and an
anonymous chrysolite. These all
suddenly disappeared down her re
ceptive esophagus. She simply said:
‘Pugh! Not saccharin!’ She then
transferred a billion of bilious mos
quitoes, an unsalable bouquet of
fuchsias, lilies, dahlias, hyacinths
and phlox, a liquefied bdellium, an
indelible defamatory inflammatory
synchronism and a debatable syllo
gism to the same capacious recepta
cle. Peaceably surrendering her
daguerreotype to the ecstatic aero
naut, she descended with her para
chute—a synonym for barouche—
and grievously terrified the stolid, j
squalid yeomanry already torrefied j
by the heat, 101 Fahrenheit.”
Reasonable Grounds.
Poor old Mrs. Giles was looking
very sad and tearful when the vicar
met her in the village street, but
the latter, knowing the cause of her
trouble, stopped her and, laying a
hand on her shoulder, asked sym
pathetically:
“Well, Mrs. Giles, how’s your hus
band this morning? Better, I
hope ?”
“No, no, sir; Vs terrible bad, is
poor old Giles—terrible bad. 'Ow
ever, doctor do say as ’ow if ’e lives
tjll mornin’ Vll ’ave some ’ope for
’im, but if ’e don’t Vs afeared Vll
ave to give ’im up!”—Pearson’s.
Alexis Piron.
Alexis Piron, a native of Dijon,
is perhaps most notorious for his
epitaiph, “Here lies Piron, who was
nothing—not even an academician.”
One night he was asked at a party l
if he could tell the difference be
tween a woman and a mirror. “A
woman,” he replied, “talks without
reflecting; a mirror reflects without
talking.’” Upon this a lady asked,
“Can you now, M. Piron, tell me
the difference between a man and a
mirror?” And as Piron remained
silent she went on, “A mirror is al
ways polished, while a man some- ,
times is not.”

fominv Rattles was turned down
when he asked Klsie’s father for his
jonsent. The old man said that
fommy was n good boy, but lacked
persistency.
What is Tommy going to do
ibout it?
He goes to the old man and asks
lim for his daughter three even
ngs every week.—Cleveland Plain
