I hod been Journeying through Egypt in company with my menu, Harry Kel lar. the magician. We were stopping at the quaint old town ot Boolak, which Is situated on the right bank of the Nile, at the divergence ot its Peluslao branch, one mile northwest of thehistorio city of Cairo, of which it forms a suburb. Our host was an Egyptian grandee, whose fine country place overlooked the shipping from Just ontslde tho more densely populated part of the town. One day we were strolling uown near the landings when an old Egyptian market woman besought us-to purchase some of her tamarlnus, naming n " orbltant price.

When it had been done u second time. Abalanl left us as perph xed as before. or my part I gave the whole riddle up. I had seen many a strange feat of Jugglery, but this one completely non plused me. Kellur was determined not to leave Boolak until ho had satisfied himself as to how ths trick, or feat, had been performed. A week passed. Our host enioved Cellar's quandary keenly as a boy, and joked him abont It, However, Kellar Joined us on the porch one afternoon with a' certain amused expression upon his face that made me feel reasonably sure that something interesting was np. 'I should like to see little Akli climb just once more this afternoon," he add, dropping into a low steamer chair with more satisfaction than I had noticed 1dm evince for the past week, "Con and I should bo leaving tomorrow or the next day at the latest.'

Their Claims. For several centuries different cities of the orient have contested with each oth er for the honor of being recognized as the midspot of our planet In 1683 a London geographer Issued an elaborate work, in which he tried to prove tho British metropolis to be the center ot the landed surfaco of the globe, Jerusalem and Delphi, notwithstanding that neither Is situated on or very near the equator, "" ur H swomam con- testants In this great central city centre- versy William Simpson of the London So- ciety For the Exploration of Palestine tells us that Heir Schick has sent home drawings of the spot in Jerusalem which 13 supposed by some to be the exact cen- ter of our world.

"Ood is my king of old, working salvation la the midst of the earth." This can only refer to the scenes of ths passion and of the holy scpuloher. The midst or spot of the earth most, there fore, be sought In that vicinity. The be lief that the center .of the earth is at Jerusalem is very ancient, for It is al luded to by St Ephrem in his reference to Noah's prayer over the bones of Adam. St. Ephrem says, "And Noah buried Adsm's bones in the middle of the earth." A certain round stone In the temple of Delphi is also spoken ot by the ancient writers as being the "navel or center of the earth." Orestes takes ref ntre there when pnr- sned by Euminides. Pindar also makes mention of the exact location ot the center of the world, and Pensanius, like Herr Schick, also had the pleasure of beholding the only genuine central hub ot onr planet. He, however, locates lt at Delphi instead of at Jerusalem. "It Is made," he said, "of white stone. smooth and polished, and Is no doubt the middle point of the world. Phila delphia Press. A Mean Trick. A lawyer defending a promissory note went to lunch, leaving his books, and ci tations on the table in the courtroom. The opposing counsel sneaked back Into the room and chansred the places of all his bookmarks. In the afternoon the lawyer, taking up his books, referred the court to his authorities. His lordship noted every volume and page carefully ana iook me case nnaer consideration. In rendering his opinion he said! "I was Inclined alter hearinir anru- ment of counsel for defendant to non suit plalntift, but I find, after referrine to the authorities quoted by counsel, none of them bear on this case, and I am led to think that the gentleman has been willfully trying to Insult the court. He has referred me to an action of an Irishman who sued the proprietor of a monkey for damages for biting him to a ease or arson, one of burglary, two of petty larceny and three divorce cases, none of which bears on an aotion to re cover on a promissory note.

"What amused our party most an la the Adlrondacks," said a Senators Man, "waa an entertainment given to us by a flock of story telling owls. C-or camp was away back tn the wilderness of Herkimer county, and we had hardly turned ln for the night when a flock ot Owls alighted on a tree over us and ttt m to tell stories and laugh. Every Dwl listened in silence to the one that was talking, and when the tale was fln shed the whole flock laughed sa though ;hey were tickled half to death. "They reminded us of a lot of drum- Jiers In a smoking csr. and they had iuc). Jolly fnn it became contagions. Wb all rolled and laughed over tha fan the big eyed birds were having np in the tree, and before long the side splitting :ontagion attacked some loons out cm the lake, which fairly yelled with de light whenever the fun loving owls srof- fawed and shrieked and shouted ovey a right good yam told by one of their u umber. "Once In awhile a story was so funny before tho knob was reached that we could hear two or three of the feathered listeners snicker and chuckle under theis breath, and when the end came ths en tire flock made the woods ring. The Jovial birds bad met eipreitly to swap experiences ot the night before, and they talked so plainly that we could easily keep a run of their anecdotes as we lay on our beds of spruce boughs. "One of the owls told about hnw m Ma rat that he had canght by the back yanked Itself loose and showed fight. The owl described how he bad let the rat flatter itself that lt wss going to rich him, how he Anally bit his tall off at the root, and how the rat then went Knead ing and sigzagging around with no rud der to guide its movements. The tncture so amused the eager auditors that they fell into the most violent fits of laughter, some of them tumbling from their perch, they were so tickled. 'Another owl described the tussle ha had had with a tough old jack hare in a swamp. He said that the hare had oar tied him along through the rushes and over logs for souio distance after he had got his claws In ils back, aud that he at last brougbtthoharenp itandingby keep ing one claw in its hide and catohlmr hold of a bush with his other claw. The kale rolled over and uver as soon as ths owl let go of the hush, and the owl said that his feathers pointed ln all direction when he Anally got the best of the hare. Peal after peal of laughter followed tha narrative. Another owl told abont biting a snake's head off and trying to swallow lt. The head stuck in his throat, and he would surely have choked to death, he said, if his mate hadn't come along Just then and pulled lt out with her claw. The story teller's predicament wss such a funny picture to the imagination of the listening owls that they responded with j ells oi wild aengnt, "But the story that fairly upset th) whole party of nocturnal roisterers and made them hoot and screech and fluHsr all over the tree for at least five min utes was told by an owl with an alto voice. lie said that he felt like Woking np some mischief the night before, so be tailed out to the settlement, settled down ou the window sill of a house In which there was no light and bepan to tap on the panes with his hill. The folks were asleep, so he flitted to the opposite side ot the house and tapped there. Nobody stirred, and he kept going from one side of the houBe to the other till a woman got up, struck a light and began to try the windows to see if they were fast. "When she came to his window, he peered ln at her, and she started to scream so hard that in a moment bar husband sprang outof bed, and four chil dren in their nightclothes came running down stairs and shouting, 'Mamma, what stnematterr 1 he woman couldn't tell what tha matter was, although her husband and young ones kept coating her to, but at length she caught her breath long enough to say she had seen a spook at the window. "At that the man dashed ont and be gan to search around ths honse. and the owl said he flew tu the top of a balsam tree, where he sat till the man went back, when he alighted on th window sill again. The man was angry at Me wtfo lor malting sncn a rumpus about nothing, so he drove the children back to bed and weut to jawing her like six ty. She jawed back, and they had It not and heavy till the man got up and cuffed her. Then she threw a. dipper of water on bim in the bed, and in jump ing out at ber he knocked the lamp off .he stand and put out the light. The owl said he listened to their quarreUnc and fighting in the dark till lie cenli stand it no longer, wheu he flew back to the woods. His recital filled his listen ers with merriment, and It was Bererat minutes before they calmed down for another anecdote. "Well, air, those Jovial owls continued to tell stories till 2 o'clock, when ws all became so sleepy that we lost all interest ln their amusing talcs.
