"Suppose ,1 present him. to you? ..You're equal to the Queen who ad vised . her subject to eat bread and . cheese rather than to starve. , Why, I couldn't pay a.ny one to take that d eg . off my hands; his reputaUon ia too - well known.. He hasn't a. redeeming feature except that he is good-natured. and that's because, he doesn't know enough to be any thing else. " lie's a terrible coward, and only dare to at tack smaller dogs than himself, young kittens and defenseleee little girls that pasa the house. We don't pretend to keep him clean, as he usually rolls in the ditch just after he's had a good wash, and then he sneaks Into Ufe house and shakes himself on mamma's sitting-room carpet. .

The .literary influence of Babylonia in the age before the Isra elitish conquest of .Palestine explains the occurrence of the names of Baby lonian deities among the inhabitants of the Wost. ' Moses died on the sum mit of Mount Nebo, which received its name from the Babylonian god of lit erature, to whom the great temple of Boroippa was dedicated, and Sinai itself," the mountain "of.

In a -areful reading of the tablets Canon Sayce came upon many ancient names and incidents known up to the present only from their appearance in the Bible. All these he carefully de scribed," as weH as several references , in the tablets to tho nittites. - T In regard to another point, he said: :i -,.

The lilo of the average physician is made up of varied experiences, some of them being strange indeed. The world might oftener hear queer sto ries" were not doctors, as a class, studiously reticent regarding 'their outgoing and incoming and what hap pens ". in the interim.

Not to be outdone in the story-telling lino the doctor re , lated, the following: , . ; ' i vTJs visit to Detroit recalls to my mind on el made several years ago, . and some decidedly poculisj circum stances conuected therewith. . One day. having occasion tocross tbe ferry from Detroit' to' Windsor, a young woman on board was taken suddenly 'UL My profess ional ' services were tendered, and upon arriving at the CanaJa -side she was sufficiently re covered to enter a carriage, which was driven rapidly away. Her com panion was. a woman , of middle age, who acted seemingly in the capacity of maid. . r "Upon the departure of the vehicle I turned hastily , to enter upon the transaction of the business that h?d called ' me to Windsor when I came in rude contact with a man . who seemed to have been watching me so closely as to have no time to step aside to avoid being jostled. He was of general height, but was .badly deformed, being what is gen erally termed a hunchback. "I arrived at my hotel in Detroit before dark and the occurrence of the ferry completely passed from my mind. ' Early the following morning, however, it was recalled when upon a visitor being announced I recog nized the hunchback and wondered what could be his business with uie. , He stated at once that his 6 is ter , was " quito ill and refused to allow any physician to attend her other than my self. I had little to gain from the trip and positively refused to take charge of the case, but upon his clear ly explaining hr condition I knew that delay would bo dangerous and finally accompanied my strange visit or. Once more I crossed the ferry, and upon ai-riving at a pleasant look ing cottage was immediately shown into the presence of the beautiful woman who seemed even more attract ive as fche lay utterly unconscious upon the bed. AgAin I had the satis faction of seeing her open her eyes as the result of the rernedie, applied. She seemed pleased at my presence. My mind was so impressed with tbe air of mystery that surrounded her that I determined to continue my vis its daily during my stay in Detroit. Nervous prostration, brought on by some great mcntul anxiety,- I bad al ready concluded was tho cause of her helpless condition, and until the cause of such anxiety was removed there could be very Utile progress toward recovery. . Morning and evening I called 'upon .Lor but ..aside from a . slight increase in strength matters were at a standstill- A "One thing caused no small amount of conjecture, and that was . the fact that in both crossing and recrossing the ferry I was invariably accom panied by tho hunchback, who seemed to have gratuitously appointed him self "my escort on all my visits to his sister, i .tot that he continued in my presence during my stay, for he dis appctrod from my sida imiuediatuiy upen my leaving the. boat, and waj in- variably awaiting my return jwheu I again appeared. .As ho knew tho hour of my visits he easily accom plished this. " - t "At first I gave this peculiar action no thought, but it was called to- my mind, by his persistency' in following "On- the last day of my stay I de- termined to cross the riTer earlier than Usual, complete my business "at the. Empress ' Hotel. - and make : my laot professional call at the cottage. Iq a'ji-.enoe of the chano I had s de the hunchback was not await Ir.g'rae, and, for the first time, I "crossed alone. While sauntering through ' th. crowd on board I immediately recog nized the figure of my patient, oc cupying as secluded a position as vta; possible, evidently with the purpose o avoiding recognition. I was positive as to her identity, but something in her 6Lrinking manner caused me to proceed again on deck without ap- proaching her. Here was something which related to the continued wretched condition of her health if I could only unravel it, but if she pre ferred concealment I should certainly make no endeavor to probe the mys tery. . ' - - . "Business detained me for several hours and I then called at the cottage for the last timo, more, I will admit, to gratify my curiosity than beovuse 1 deemed it necessary. . "Great was my surprise to fiai'my patient in a worse condition than that in which I had left her upon the day ' before and unable to arise from her-couch.-. ' :' i : i "A troubled- half-frightened look as I talked to her caused me to take a sudden resolution. ,1 turned quickly to her, saying: 'It must have been a grave matter that caused you to cross tho f.jrry this teeming in your present state.' "She made no . answer, bat lookod: helplessly at id", her pale face flush ing, then changing to aa ashen hue. I had 6poken in a rather louder tone than was necessary, not noticing that, the door leading into an adjoining' apartment was ajar until I perceived the figure of a. man standing in the doorway. "How long has this thing been going on?' I asked, pay lug no attention to the new-comer. t ' 'Direct your question to me. if you please,' he said,' coming forward, when I at once recognized the grace and courtliness of a gentleman bred and bora. " 'This young lady, is my patient aud as such 1 am responsible to a cer tain extent for bsr recovery or re lapse, and ci nsequt atly I hsiv-s h right to know what cautes her protracted illness, which I begin to believe is the result of other such Journeys as thst to which I was accidentally a witness to. day."

' "Fixed air" and "combustible air" nad been speculated, upon, and "the air that is left after combustion" had attracted attention. But the. phe nomena of this kind. Inconsistent as they were with the phlogistic theory, had not been sufficient to overthrow it. The first germ of Lavoisier's the ory on these matters was embodied ia a sealed packet which ho deposited With the Academy In ,1770. Recog nizing that the calcination 'of metals could not take place without tho ac cess of air, and that the freor tho ac cess the more rapid the oii.ci nation, he "began to suspect,'.' as ho express es himself, that some elastic fluid con tained in the air was susceptible, under many circumstances, ' of fixing itself and combining with metals, and that to the addition of that substance wero duo calcination and tho Increase in weight of metals converted intocaixes. From this thought came, after much groping with erroneous conclusions, tho idea that air is a compound con taining a vital part and another part, and that it is the vital part that is absorbed. . The behavior of charcoal when burning in oxj'gen pointed to the natuue of that substance and to the true theory of corubu.iion. -This now vital substance,, which, ucitlng with the metals formed, caljces, aud whh other substances generated acids, he called cryqen or the ccid-produoer; the air that was left afte combustion was azote, or lifeless.
