Test to"Ald Ulna In Choosing i an Heir4-The Adventnres of Prince Ak- fear j With the GobUn, th Witch and Three Xovea-The Besntlfol Princess.. - : A Persian woman of culture thus related tho old legend of - tho "Sleeping Beauty" as an old household servant was wont to tell It to the children : Once upon a time there was !a king. who wished to appoint one of his Jihree sons as bis heir. ; He sum moned his grand yizier into his presence so as to consult hiin on this Important question., I They , decided f to watch the princes for' a year and judge them accord ing to each one's conduct. . One day at the beginning of the year tho three proposed to go out hunting. After some time-the eldest!, Princo Abdullah, shot a lion, and, feeling tired, returned home.i Prince fiousen, the second, shot a bear, and as be was satisfied with his day's hunting, returned to the palace. ' The younger, Prince Akbar, Bpied a gazelle and pursued It. He was soon lost sight of. His follow ers, who, after waiting for a long time for their - master and having looked every where for him, decided to return and tell his father the sad news, i s ;'-. The king was very much' grieved at los ing his youngest and dearest son. He sent many, soldiers and men to search the grounds where tbe prince had been- last seen, but without success, for nobody could find any trace of him, and at last the king gave up the idea In despair, feeling sure, that he would never see his favorite child alive again. The prince, moan while, was running as fast as he could after the ga zelle, till at last he arrived in front of a palace with an iron gate, over which the gazelle leaped and disappeared. He could not follow it there, so, being hot, tired and thirsty, he threw himself on the grass to rest a littlo. Ho noticed three doves perched on the gate (they were really fair ies who had assumed that shape). - 1 "Well!"! said one, "that prince is doing a very foolish thing, lying down . there. Perhaps he does not know this Is the gob lin's j residence and that every Sunday morning the goblin takes a walk round bis property and dev.ms anybody he finds on it,1 He Is certain to find tbat prince just near the gate.'-' - . , " Well,' said the second dove, "he can save bis life very easily, : He only has .to -go down that deep well, and when he gets to tbe bottom of it be will find himself in a dark room, where he will sea -an ugly old witch leaning over a kettle and half sitting on a chair. Without waking her, he must taka tho piece of glass which is un der her left foot and break it, for it is the goblin's life. As soon as it is in pieces the goblin1 yjill expire. Ho must then attack the witch; and kill her with his sword."! The prince rose from the grass, and, acting on 'the advice he had just heard, he very soon 'found , the well and went down It by a circular path, but the lowerbe got the hotter it grew,, till the poor prince be gan to .feel giddy; sick and faint, though he kept on bravely and never thought of turning back. At last he found himself in tbe room, took tbe piece of glass with out waking tbe horrible old witch, broke it injto a hundred pieces, killed the witch and Climbed out of the well and ' was sur prised to find himself in a lovely garden, near another iron gate much bigger than the first, which he tried to open. As he could not do so he walked about the gar den, in which waa a large tank of running water, quenched : his thirst at it and stretched himself under j a tree,' where he eoon fell asleep. He awoke hearing the same doves speaking in the treo on a branch just over his head. The third one was speaking: , ! . 1 : "If he wants to open this iron gate, he must try and do it with j the : point of his fcword, arid fas soon as its doors fly open put his hand in his pocket and take out three gold coins, which he must throw into tho month of the black serpent which will coma! out of the gate with its mouth open reatjly to eat the prince. - If he can do this cjuickly, the serpent will die as soon as the money is in its mouth,, and the prince will set free a lovely princess, but he will have to look for her." Rising,) the prince once more did as the doves hadj said. When his sword touched tbe gate, the doors Sew open and tbelfor rible black head of an enormous serpent came out, showing its fangs. The prince threw the money and the ugly reptile died. The prince soon found himself in another and much prettier garden, and, feeling hungry, looked about to see; if he could find something to eat. j Fruit there was in abundance, so, gathering up six splendid apples, he ate them and then walked up to the beautiful palace be saw In front of him.ji He Went through many lovely rooms full of j rare and costly things, each one morej splendid than the last, but the prince felt depressed at the great silence, for .not a living thing was to be heard. At last be reached the second story, and, going into tbe last and handsomest room, he shortly became aware that a beautiful young lady was asleep on a low couch not far from where be waa standing. He hesi tatingly approached her; to have a better view of her face and thought her so lovely that be stooped over her and Kissed her. She opened her eyes and was surprised to find a young man near her and told him to go away as fast as he could, for this was the goblin's castle, and that either the goblin, the witch (his-mothei) or tha black serpent would eat him. . He told her his adventures and she told him hers. When sho was a child, she had been stolen from bjpr father's kingdom, and many princes; and young men had lost their lives in trying to save her and take ber away from the goblin's -castle. She thanked (Prince Akbar very courteously for having freed her. After living a few days with that lovely princess, the princo, finding be loved her very much indeed, asked her to become bis wife. She consented. They then mounted on horseback to go back to the prince's fa ther's kingdom, but, as tbe princeoe was afraid of j their not being able to find their way I back to tho goblin's castle, which was theirs now, she loaded a horse with two! bags- full of lime and cut a hole in each bagt so that a trail of lime lay all tlona the way. They soon arrived at the kingdom of the prince's father. Tbe king was very happy to see his son again and also to see wlutt a beautiful bride be had chosen. The" prince told his father about all the adventures he bad had. Tbe year was now over, and after this happy wedding had been celebrated the. king chose Prince At bar (is bis heir. The prince now Inhabits the goblin's castle, where his father occa sionally Ivisits bim. And if any oi you little 6ahibs and khanoums .(gentlemen and ladies) wish to go and see him, you only have to find the goblin's castle, for the brince Is very hospitable and will make you welcome.

The earliest methods of teaching, such as must have existed in the Homeric period and for centuries after, M. Anatole France describes, and the natural ones were those tbe pedagogue followed. The system must have heen one of constant repetition when books were wanting, t it was memory 'which was cultivated. Explanations were few. ! Tho precepts, once announced, were to be implicitly followed, because man had nothing to do but obey. The commands came from divinity. - Faith then wna early lmpBossed on the child. ; Kings ana heroes were to be honored, and, insisted the teacher, "when you give a'bero a name, forgot not to add that of his father," and that is a process of nomenclature which has only changed within the last 1,000 years and is not yet universal, j Then some old superstitions were added, and the con clusion was, "Should you be asked whence came these lessons of song : you shall an swer, 'ifrom the oiu poet on unios, and he was told them by his father, and tbat ' father spoke through the' inspiration of divinity."'
