Then LU tir-t born, Lin sou, Nourcddin, Lad left hi homo tho pre vious cveuiu, and Lad returned, after Biinrise, tdi imcfully t iivy ; clearly in dicating thnt he was league I with tlio evil-livers of Pagdad, itud Lu I in fringed the wise law of tho Prophet, forbidding tLo use of wine und strong liquors. Then, again, tho servant intrusted with tho ile.ty of accompanying his duughtcr to tho bath ha 1, ou her re turn, confided to Lim that, lor tho fifth time iu us mimy days, a youug mau, with u tclf-.-atistlod uir, hud, as if by chance, thrown himself in their way, und thnt, iu pviMug, Amine, un ler pn.teu-o of arranging her veil, La i, on the eottnry, deran ged it iu mich a m:i!i:icr as to allow this good looking stranger to behold her radiant visage, a procceling which, ou tho part of a Mahometan young la ly, con stitutod u grave departure from tho rules of good conduct. Already considerably put out of temper by all these worri-.-s, Ali La I pone to tho sitting of tho Couucil. There he had found himself iu tho presence ol tho Calif Amgiud, and tho Calif Aingiu I Lai received Liui any thing but pleasantly. A short time before, a rodition had broken out iu a ueighboriug province. Ah, after having severely repressed it, ha I uo .v-oiiv "WOT .r--b''o j bring tlic'matter beforo Lis glorious master.

Tho windings of this path con ducted hiiu to a ruined wall uear which there grew a palm tree. Ali uttered a HiS'h of relief aad stretched himself ut tho foot of tho wall iu tho bhade of tho wide leives. Doubtless ho would soon have fallen asleep had not a huzziu sound come to iiuuuy Lis seu-e of hearing. He looked no, uud saw a pretty gold-and-.;reen-hued lly uyly wheeling about his head. Winhiu;; to t ako a uan in peace, Ali drove a way the intruder two or tur.o ti-nes with Lis Laud; but the obstinate little creature re turned a.'iuu uu l n jniri to tho charge, un I en led by iiupudeutly perching ou tho Viii.r's none, This was to much for A'i, who jerked himself iuto u kitting pos ture, an I with Lis Laud mabi vigorous, but uusa.'jessfu!, dub at Lin i iii-uy.

I Witness of this catiV"trophe, the Vizinr could not at first help feeling glal. ) "Now," bo thought, 'fjon tiresome insect, you wilt no longer be able to prevent me from getting the nap I want." liut an he continued 'to watch the fate of tho pretty gold-green lly he saw emerge from a crack in the wall a monstrous Bpidcr, with a body an big as the finger-tip of a mnn and long, black and Lairy limbo. It rushed to ward its prey and set to v'ork spinning a winding sheet of web about it, as if enjoying its victim's terror and agony. Tho poor fly made such desperate efforts to freo itself from its bonds that Ali, nt tho sight of its hopeless exertion, felt moved by compassion ; and, though ho was very tired, and in Hpito of tho little insect having so recently worried him considerably, he could not briug himself to allow it to perish ro miserably. IIo rose up, and w'th ft wnvo of Li Laud frightened awiy tho spider, after which he released the lly from its perilous activity. "Now," Lo said, "I hopo yon will leavo mo in pence." IIo oppuud Lis finpor nnl thumb, tho tly Hew nway, and All speedily lost sight of it. Ho then lay down again in the phudo of tho palm tree, closed Lis eyes, nn 1 was soon soundly asleep, Tho sound of a voice pronouncing Lis lianieuloud awoke him. Ho opened Lis eyes and saw httiuding beforo Lira a pcrjouage of du.zling beauty and gigantic form. Two light a id trans parent wiugs wore attached to Lis shoulders. Ali had no doubt that ho was iu the presence of a genie. "Vizier," said tho supernatural be ing, "you havo rendered me a great service. I wa the lly which lately buzzed about your nose. I took that form for tho p irposo of relieving my self for awhile from my ordinary greatness an I Hitting freely in tho mush inc. A malicious sorcerer, my privato enemy, wishing to take ad vantage of this ciroumstance, changed himself iu tho big npider iuto whoso web I became, entangled and in which I ehould have fared ill but for your assistance.

It is therefore, by your gener ous intervention I have been saved. Iu return of this great service ask of mo some favor ; whatever it may bo I promise to grant it." rio ppoko tho genie. Tho Vizier ro maiued for awhile without answering. At length, after having reflected, Lo said : "I was saving to myself only a short time back that long life was no advan tage, tiuce so many of our days are spoiled by divers vexations, and that it w6UKV,..b3 Jjetter V- ttV. "Lorter existence, composed exclusively of happy and cloudless days; theu, if it bo iu your power to do it, good genie, suppress from my lifo in future all days of nflliction, or eTL-n of annoy unce, and let mo livo only during tl-jso which nro exempt from trouble. lo that uu 1 you will have largely re paid ui'j tho scrvico I have done you." Oa hearing these words au enigmati cal smilo over.-pread thj face of the genie. "Have you well welshed your ro- iplC't?" "Vet-," replied Ali. "Let it bo according to your do n.re. Instautly, as it seemed to tho Vizier, his f intastio interlocutor seized Lim by tho middle of tho body and rose in tho air with him to a height so giddy as presently caused him to lose Lis Henses. When ho returned to con sciousness Lo found Liiusolf in his houxe in Iiagdud, in bed. His body was straightened out and so rigid thut ho found himself unable to make tho least movement. His eyes wero closed. Nevertheless Lo saw all that was passing about Lim, and heard nil that was being said. The room was full of people. His wife, his children, Lis servants wero there ; all lamented Lim, and deplored the loss of ho good a Ltibband, so good a father, so iood a master, a friend so faithful uul devoted. "Wh it is tho meaning of all this?" thought Ali. "Am I dual, than?" "l'e."," said o voice. Thj geuio flood at the foot of tho Vizier's lied, visible only to him, reaJ in hia thoughts. "i'erlldioiis spirits !" thought Ali; "ii this tho way you redeem your promise ?" "Do not neo.iso me," replied the geuie, but lay tho blamu to your own tupidity alone. Why did you ask of mo what was impossible? Two fairies have been entrusted with the task of spinning the destinies of men. lie tore one, at the beginning of things, was placed a Leap of whito wool, from which bho spun fortunate days; be fore tho other wa place 1 a heap of black wool, from which she spuu tho days that wero to be uufcrtunat). "Now, one night, while the were Bleeping, Satan came by and amused himself by mixing together the two heaps of wool, and so thoroughly en tangled the whole that the fairies, on awaking, found it impossible to separ ate tho black from tho white wool; and, from that time, tho days spun by them are of mixed color made up of contentmeuta and utlliction. I'.ecull the days you Lsvo pasted ; is there one of them on which you havo not experience ! some satisfaction, smr.li as it may Lave been?

I am sorry to havo had to teach yon this lesson, but yon have drawn it down npon yourself.',' "Unfortunately, it can now be of no uso to me, since I am dead," said Ali. The genie smiled. "I am good natnred," ho replied. "Ifyoalike I will imagine that you have said nothing, carry yon back to the spot whence I brought you and nothing in your lifo shall be changed. What do yon say?" "I could wish for nothing better," replied the Vizier. The genie stretched his hands toward him. Everything melted from his sight and, for tho second time, ho became unconscious. When ho rooovercd the uso of hit senses he found Llmsclf at tho foot of the wnll under the shade of tho palm tree where Lo Lad fallen ns'eep. Kisiug to his feet he asked himself whather this adventure had really hap pened to him or whether ho had simply dreamed it ; then, thought fully, ho made his way back homo. While ho slept the sun had declined, so that his walk was no longer ren dered unpleasant. On reaching Lis houo, AH lonrnod that Lis son, Nonrrrdin, La 1 beeu made so ill by Lis overnight's excesses that ho Lad vowed never, thenceforth, to drink anything but water. Ho uNo learned that tho young man whom his daughter had s. frequently met on her way to and from the bath was tho son of ouo of tho richest n:rl most important personnges in Uagda 1, and asked for tho Laud of Amino iu marriage. Furthermore, ho receive 1 a mes sago from tho Calif Amgind, tho Sovereign, admitting that, ou reflec tion, tho conduct of Ali iu tho matter of tho sedition had appeared to Lim to havo beeu bcth prudent and firm; and conveying tho nssurancn that ho might consider himself to bo moro iu favor than ever. Tho wife of tho Vizier having paid a visit to tho wife of the Uowruor of tho pnlaco and seen, with herowu eyfs, that tho last new dress of that lady was an nttrr failure, was now iu a dcliirhtfullv amiable temper. Fin ally, the cook Lad determined to make upinastnkiug manner for Lis short- comings of the morning, aad served up au exijuisito repast.

Strand Maga zine. Oranges lioth I'oij'a and Mcdlclno. To a thoughtful observer the time has loug sinco passed when orauges wero a luxury to bo indulged in now and then and not an essential article of diet. That this luscious fruit is not moro generally considered as one of the necessary household supplies is, we think, iu great measure owing to ii mistaken idea as to its cokt and keep ing qualities. Families who aro ac customed to buying their apples and potatoes by the barrel, their peaches, pears aud tomatoes by tho bushel, and other household supplies in propor tionate quantities, ere satisfied to pro cure orangss by tho dozen. No policy could bo more fallacious, and the pluu is doubtless so generally adopted without a second thought, since no household supply is Bold bo proportionately high :a u retail way. With potatoes or apples at a dollar per buhel the customer may usually pro cure a peck for tweuty-'ive cents, but not so with tho golden products of tho Florida orango groves. Orauges aro generally sold at retail at an advance of from ouo to two hundred per cent, on tho price at which they are obtain able by the box. Tho regulation box contiius 112, 126, 13 , 17(5, 2D), 23 I and 3DJ oranges, the quality being, of courte, according to tho sizo of tho fruit. The cost iu this market will generally run from 31.5) to 32.50 per box. Take tho average of 32 aud tho cost by the box for 20 J hizo would bo twelve cents per dozen ; tho usual re tail price is from twenty-five to thirty cents ; at the samo prico tho 170 size would cost by tho box 13 J cents per dozen, and are retailed at thirty to forty cents, whilo for tho 150 size, costing by the box sixteen cents per dozen, the consumer is generally re quired tj pay lifty cents. Orauges retailed at lower prices nro generally frost-bitten or culls an I inferior fruit. Is there any other it im of house hold supplies for which tho consumer is willing to pay so largo un advuneo when bought at retail? The solution of the problem is not Lard to nud. Orauges decay in tho Lands of dealers when tightly boxed, uud consumers are told they will not keep. Under similar conditions other fruits would decay still more rapidly. It should bo rcmombcrc 1 that tho orange is uccus toined to au abundant supply of uir and sunshine, aud us boou us received orunges should bo unpacked, tho wrappers removed and the fruit spread on the Hour in a dry placs with mod erate temperature, or otherwise ex posed to tho air. With such proper euro tho loss from decay will bo but trifling as compared with tho differ ence in cost between buying by the box and by tho dozen, to say nothing of the vital importance of a liberal use of this fruit as an article ot diet. Physicians are unanimous in tho opinion that a dozen oranges should ba csten where one is now nsed, but the question of expense alone has hitherto prevented this advice from being generally ucte 1 upon. If con sumers generally would buy oraugns by tho box, this queition would bo solved, though we doubt if either phy sicians or druggists would bo bene lited by the solution.

SI EN tVIIOTKMi ADUUT KtLLIXO THEM WITH KNIVES Are Able Mars, Says Man From the Foothills of the Rocky Moun tains A Huge, Htronz and Savage Itrute. "4 GRIZZLY bear," said the man from the foothills, "won'tcat anything in the vegetable line nnless he can t got meat, and a black bear won't est meat nnless ho can't get nothing in tho vegetable line. Bear story writers are responsible for impression being about that grizzly bears just doto on killing men and eating thorn. There isn't any doubt that grizzly bears have killed a great many men, but no grizzly boars ever nte'a man. The grizzly will eat every kind of llesh ex cept man flesh. The big savage would starvo to death rather than Bwallow a pieco of man. IIo scorns to have a horror of thut kind of llesh us vic tual. "Grizzly bears nro tough nu I no mistake, but not any tougher than mine of the stories that are told about them. Au nvcrnge-MZed grizzly will wigh about half a ton, uud ho cun I Teak a steer s neck with ouo blow of lis paw. And h handles that paw With a quickness that comes about as lieur lo tho movement of lightning as anything can. Yet tho number of men mt iu tho grizzly beur districts who will stand up and tell you how they have killed grizzlies in hand-to-hand fights, with no weapons but their Luuting knives, is simply amazing. Any one who Las ever Btood and pounded lead from a repeuting ritle into ouo of these lloeky Mountain ter rors, and seen it keep riant on in its Bavage chargo totvurd him uatil his magazine was empty and ho hail to take to his heels to save Lis bacon, knows how likely a man is to stand up against a grizzly aud Hlay him with a knife. I Luve known as many as eigliteen heavy bullets to bo shot "into one of these big and tough beasts be foro Lo vcn showed any sign that ho was being iucouvetiieuced bv tho bur den of lead. I havo heard of ono that received ten explosive Lnilets in his body before his charge upoa the hunter was stopped, ami then when ho was not two paces away and tho last uillet was tired into ono of his eyes. The grizzly beur doesn't mind a shot in the heart even a little bit, but if you can send a bullet through his kid neys it will break him down at once uud stop him, i ut it won't kill him for u good while after the wound is given. Nothing but u bullet in tho braiu will drop a grizzly in his tracks and kill Lim on tho spot, and it's a dilllcult thing to put a bullet there. The bony guard that surrounds that vital spot is as impenetrable almost as the steel clad Lull of u Government liner. Yet tho nturdy mouutaineers go right ou tackling theso half-ton bundles of gristle, bone and ferocity, and slaugh tering them with their knives with the samo iuipuuity that they would ttick a pig. They always shovo their kuives through the unfortunate griz zly's heart. "As a mutter of fact, if a grizzly beir should Btand trect, spread Lis paws wide opeu, and make no opposition ut ail, a mau would Lave to Lave u helper with a i-lo Ige hammer to pound his kuifo tLrou.'h the bear's armor before it could touch tho hcurt. Then, attain, unlike the common black beur, which is big if it weighs one-third us much a a grizzly, tho grizzly bear never stands up on its hmd feet when it has a toe to meet. It charges on all fours, and a man with a knife waiting for it might just as well bo standing in the way of a locomotive coming at him wide open. "When a grizzly bear is right good and hungry ho doesu't thiuk anything nt ull of coming down out of tho mountains, walking straight to the in:ur st ranch, breukiug the neck of a Bteer and lugging it uwuy with him. When buffaloes wero part of tho wild animal population of tho I!o;kics, the grizzly would pounce on ouo of those powerful und ugly beasts with as much assurance aud confidence as he attacks, h tamo cow or steer. Sometimes he would be met with the tierce resist ance of n few ponderous bulls in a herd, uud would havo to kill them bo fore he got away with the animal ho had selected for Lis diuuer, and same times Le would Limself fall before tho assaults of tho bulls. Once, iu those days, I camo upon four builalo bulls lying dead on tho plain, tho carcasses being ull ueur ono another. F.very bull's neck was broken. Closa by lay u dead grizzly, tho biggest one l ever saw. He was ripped open from Lis Hunk to Lis shoulder, literally t. isem howcllcd. The story these bodies t'dd was plain enough. The grizzly had come down on a Lerd of butfalo seeking his dinner. Hull after bull attacked Lim. He killed four, but lost Lis own lifo iu tho terrible tray, some tough and wary old bull Laving caught him right aud ripped him open with Lis horns." The Czar's Income.

The San Francisco Call describes a ave of bats, which is found in Caweah canyon in the recesses of the Sierra Netadas. The cave is in the wall of the sanyon, not far back from tho water in the rainy season, and there is nothing about the appeuanceof the opening to attract attention dur ing the day. Cut approach the plane at about dusk and a black stream of shadowy forms will be seen passing in and ont of the opening, accompanied by the most peculiar odor in the world and a soft, rustling sound. The bats hava been asleep all day and are going in search of food. To enter tho cave in the daytime is not a difficult task, but is somewhat unpleasant. The open ing is largo and a man can enter in an erect position. About ten feet in the entrance makes a turn and a inky blackness exists. Go a little farther, so as to bo away from the air at tho entrance, nud n most disagreeable odor strikes tho notril, nud every few feet one treads upon the body of a bat. While tho cavo is in darkucss a most profound sileuco exists, but strike a light and a sound like a water fall is heard. Thousands of bats that havo been asleep at ouco awake mid commeuco to lly in circles about the cavern, which can be seen to bo very large. Hound and round they go, in creasing in speed every moment, and tho odor of tho cave becomes moro and moro disagreeable. When this happens it is a wise thing for tho ex plorer to make his escape and post pone further investigation until night, at which time tho cavo is de serted. Eveu tho dead bats on tho floor will disappear, having been eateu by the others as soon as they awoke. Making tin Finest Olive Oil. Curiously enough tho crudest and most barbarous process of all pro duces tho very finest grade of olivo oil, a grade so flue aud so rare, in deed, that it is seldom used, in Ameri ca, at any rate, excejit for tho lubri cation of watches aad delicate ma chinery, nn 1 in surgery.

In somo of these regions tho women are the oil-makers, aud may bs seen tramping round and round tho vat tugging tho polo in pairs, whilo an other woman stirs tho mass in the stone trough, the children, standing or squatting about watching tho pro ceedings with infautino interest, When tho pulp has been sufllciently mashed, tho women scoop it up in saiall quantities into bags which are wrung into stone jars nud pots. These latter are sealed with cloths coated with wax, and in this shape aro bhippod to Europe, where tho contents aro carefully decanted into flasks and vials containing a few ounces each, and bringing a high price in tho largo cities of the world, chietly, as has been said, for extra lino mechanical pur poses, though, like tho "trutlles of Avignon," it also reaches tho tablo of tho epicure. Demorest's Magazine. A forest Uurlsd by Alluvial Deposits A remarkable instance of tho rapid formation of alluvial deposits from overloaded streams has beeu discovered by the Government geological expedi tion ou tho Yuhtse lliver, iu Alaska, This river iu its course from tho Chaix Hills to the sea passes through a tun nel in tho Maluspina glacier, somo tlx or eight miles in length.

Owing to this children aro mors liable to take cold when asleep than when awake, and therelore the necessity for increased cure in tho avoidance of chill.
