ALLAH AND AMERICA.
4 Persian Lett*! Abaat the Crea
tor’* VUIt to Karth.
In Persia, on a morning after the ver¬
min bad been particularly vigorous, I
said something caustic about getting
back to God’s country. An Armenian
who had reposed In utter comfort In
the same caravansary heard it and
smiled. Being an Armenian, he hated
the Persians, probably, Incidentally
the Persian reciprocates.
Well, this Armenian, rubbing bis
hands and with his bead skewed over
on one side, said: “The Persians have a
legend for everything. They have a
legend for what you said Just now. It
is this:
“Allah—that is God—once said to bis
angel, ’I will see this world which 1
made.' descend¬
■ And so Allah and the angel
ed invisible in a eloud to the earth,
and the first place at which they ar¬
rived was France—that Is, in Fcren
ghlstan. And there they saw the rail¬
roads, and the tramways, and the the¬
aters, and the great picture galleries.
And Allah looked in disappointment
and said: ‘Alas, no! This Is not the
world which l made. I made none of
these things.’
*« So they journeyed to Inglezistan
that Is, England - and there were
mighty ships in the harbors mid huge
mills which make ail sorts of things
and food in plenty. And again Allah
said: 'Alas, no! This Is irot the world
which I made.’ And everywhere they
traveled In the cloud Allah looked upou
the land and said, 'No; this Is not it.’
At last, in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia, and Allah sat himself
down upon a very high mountain, and,
looking far on every side, be saw nei¬
ther railroads nor tramways nor thea¬
ters nor picture galleries nor ships nor
mills nor schoolhouses nor plenty to
eat.
“And Allah said: ’Yes, at last. This
Is the world which 1 made, Not a
thing is changed. The people whom I
put there have done nothing. t ri
“Why didn't he come to America?” I
tsked.
“Sir,” answered the Armenian, "In
Persia they bad not even heard of
America.”—Harper's Weekly.
Generoai Great Rpitala.
Britain’s "earth hunger” is a common
sneer on the continent, but look at
what we have given away without the
least reason!
We took the Ionian Islands In 180©
and banded them over to Greece for
nothing about 50 years afterward.
Corsica shows George 111 as Its king,
but we abandoned it three yenrs later,
and the French naturally grabbed It.
Tangier came to us by the marriage
of Charles II. We abandoned It at the
end of 22 years.
We took Cuba In 1702 and handed It
back to the Spaniards, after holding
It for 10 months. We took the Philip¬
pines and returned them to the same
country for £800,000—which was Dever
paid.
Here Is a short list of other places
which we once held and gave up with¬
out compulsion; Minorca, Sicily. Sar¬
dinia, Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Java,
PoDdlcberry, Celebes, Moluccas, Elba
and about 50 other places.
We took Cape Colony in 1795, but
gave it up again to the Dutch. In 1806
we took It again—and kept it—London

To the ordinary housemaid the fall¬
ing of a house plant into n violent
paroxysm of coughing is naturally
disconcerting. Yet there are plants
which will do this when the broom
or the duster begins to make dust fly.
This singular plant Is the “coughing
bean,” known to tbe botanist as the
Eutada tusslens. It is a native of
warm and moist tropical countries and
cannot and will not stand dust. When
dust settles upon the breathing pores
In tbe leaves of this plant and chokes
them, a gas accumulates iuslde the
leaves, and when It gains sufficient
strength forcibly “blows off.” clearing
the pores of dust and making a sound
exactly like couglilug. At the same
time the leaves tremble and the plant
actually “gets red In the face,” through
the sinking of the green chlorophyll
grains and tbe appearance of red par¬
ticles on the leaves. This plant Is
sometimes used as a house plant, aud
sweeping the room sets It coughing, to
the intense astonishment of persons
not familiar with its peculiarities
HI* (inns,
An American who was sojourning in
Spain at the time says that on the day
when Dewey was destroying the Span¬
ish squadron at Manila a representa¬

Spain’s bravest and best, were attend¬

applauding these words of the famous
raatadore: "With the case with which 1
have killed this noble animal, the bull,

The late Professor Sbuttleworth of
London was particularly fond of telling
how, when be once acted as locum
tenons In Devonshire, he had to pro¬
claim the banns of marriage of a
young yokel and a village maid, A
fortnight later the young swain called
at the professor’s lodgings.

“But should I have to be

“Certainly, that’s necessary,

But should I have to pay again?"

They Eat Them*elvea.
From various causes, such as anger
and fear, many animals eat their own
flesh. Rats, wbeu caught in a trap by
the leg, will guaw off the captured
member, and mice in captivity have
been known to bite off their tails. But
there are some creatures which go
much further aud actually eat parts of
themselves if left for too long a period
without food.
A hyena belonging to a menagerie
was kept by the proprietor without
food In order to tame it. One morning
he was horrified to find that the fero¬
cious creature had actually eaten part
of its own leg.
An eagle in the zoo a few years ago
was noted for the fact that it would
now and then pick pieces of flesh out
of its own legs and eat them.
Certain caterpillars and toads devour
their cast off skin, This may be dne
to fear, but it looks like economy.
There is just a trace of this charac¬
teristic in human beings, Children
when In rage sometimes bite their own
hands and arms, although It must be
admitted that they desist when It be¬
gins to hurt
One Wnjr of Oefllnir Even.
“There Is a fellow In our office who Is
a chronic borrower,” said a young man
employed In a large Market street es¬
tablishment recently, He got into
nearly everybody in the place before
we all made up our minds to stop lend¬
ing. lie has owed me $2 for nearly •
year, but I’m nearly square, although
he has never paid tne a penny of It
That sounds queer, but it Is the truth.
I’ll tell you how I've worked it.
“Every once in awhile one of tho fel¬
lows will say. Till going to make So
and-so give me what he owes me next
pay day or know (be reason why.’
That’s my chance, and l casually re¬
mark. Til hot you a quarter you don’t
get it.’ Usually the fellow takes mo
up, uml when pay day comes be loses
his bet, for So-and-so never pays. In
small bets of quarters and dimes,
luncheons and cigars I have nearly got
back the amount I originally loaned to
the chronic borrower.” — Philadelphia
