burtine Villa, the favorite retreat ot
Hadrian Augustos. It was sculptured
by Lysippus, of Sicyon, a Greek artist,
who lived inethe fourth century, 13. (a,
aid is of white marble, standing 5 feet
6 inches high, with it diameter or 5
feet 8 inches, and has the liberal hold -
Ing capacity Of 163 gallons. The form
and decoration is suggestive- of the
Bacchanalian trophy, The body -is in
the shape of a colossal wine cup. A
grape vine forms the principal part of
the upper decoration, with the twisted
branches forming the handles, and the
leaves and fruit distributed naturallY
over the surface. Bacchanalian. masks

means of. two Panther skins, with
heads and feet distributed to complete
the full trophy scheme ot decoration.

is that made in the "Black Basalt"
body, invented by Josiah Wedgwood,
about 1760, a specimen of which was

A FAIVIGUS BATTLE.
The battle which is known in his-
tory as the "Victory of Victories"
took place at Nevalmhd, in Eebatanaa,
and was fought between the new Moe-
lem power in 687 and the empire ot
Persia, then one of the most .powerful
of the eastern monarchies. It waS
one of the most absolutely- decide°
battles in the history of war, and it
was all the more amazing by reason of
the fact that it was won by a people
who twenty years before had been
unknown .barbarlans, lost in the de-
serts d Arabia.
A.rablan historians place the Persian
lass in it single day at. 100,000 men
killed. This may be and probably
Is an exaggeration, but the feet re-

• The Crippled Bird,
A very remarkable instance of the
sympethetic kindness of one bird to
another is given by it lady who wit -
messed the incident in her garden.
Upon the lawn there was a basin,
'hich was kept supplied with water
for the birds to drink. Among the
birds coming tcgthe garden was a crip-
pled rook, which had lost one leg al-
together and had no foot upon the
other, so that it was Oery helpless
when it rested on the ground. One
day when this cripple was upon the
lawn three other • rooks came and
drana.. Two of them flew away at
01100, bot the third, seeing the crip-1
Pio, became intereoted and went up to
have a. look at him. The inquisitive
rook gazed at the cripple for a little
while, put his- head down to the
ground several times, as if ho were
trying to make out what was wrong,
and walked round the helpless- bird,
puzzled perhaps for a moment what to
do, Then suddenly he made up his
mind, and, putting hie wing under the
(ripple's wing, he partly dragged and
partly supported him to the water,
giving him an extra tug to lift his
head' to the edge of the bacia. Then'
his friend in need was seen to fill his
beak with water an drop some of it
into the cripple's mouth. After beinat
shown in this kindly Way -where the
water was the maimed rook was able
to help himself to it.

An amazing incident was witnessed
on the Braid Hill golf course. A.
• gentleman, evidently a tiro, was go-
ing over the course, making tutile at-
tempts to propel the ball in the direc-
tion required, and, indeed, sometimes
missing it.
His caddie meekly followed at his
heels while he continued his exer-
tions, ttad eventually the gentleman
broke one of his clubs. At this he
turned. round and remarked deprecat-
ingly to his caddie: "I don't sup -
1)050 there are many worse players
than I?" "Oh, ay, sir," responded
the caddie, "but 1 dinna think they
play."
