Success is more or less a bluff, and the reason so few men succeed is that they mostly all get called. If the average man knew what was best for him there would be less said about blessings in disguise.

The oldest monastery in the work! ts Marsnba. a fortress that clings to the top and sides of a rocky ciiff at i . the end of Ivedron valley, near the ; i)ead sea. ; It's the weirdest place that man ; 2vcr happened on, vriili only the :?ries of the jackal and the call of the night birds to break the frightful stillness that broods over the land. It is a destroyed stronghold of the crusaders and the tomb of a nomad chieftain. Sheik I.Iessiijf. In the early part of the fifth century the Sabaites took possession of CP!., Ti-no ftwlni. n f rnAriti r> f LI. JL ill."* V* CiC? Ci.A Vi UV/1 Vi which San Sabas was the superior. The larger part of the monastery was built by them. Their numbers finally so increased that the monastery would not hold them all, and ^ ' j a 10,000 took up their abode in rock caves in the mountain opposite. Four thousand remained in the monastery proper. In tlie seventh century the Persian hordes attacked and plundered them. After that a castlelike tower was built to serve I as a defense. Later another tower was added to it, and, strange to relate, this last was a monument to a woman's love. It was built by the Empress Eudoxia, that she might dwell in it and so be near to Euthymius, a monk with whom she had fallen in love because lie represented, as she rTarUorml lifir f>f manhood. Euthymius, however, was noted for his sanctity, and he would not violate his vow. He refused to see ? the lady, and he even fled from her to the Moabite desert, beyond the Jordan. Finally the empress left ! her post never to return, and the tower was annexed as a part of the | monastery. It is now used as a lookout, and a | watchman is constantly stationed there. When a visitor knocks and knocks repeatedly, he at last opens a small window in the tower and looks out to demand the letter of introduction from the Greek patriarch of Jerusalem, without which none is ever permitted to enter. J | When once inside, visitors are j praetiea!lv prisoners, for the iron ; bolts ot tiie great aoor are quicis.iv | slipped in place, and there is no other exit.

To be sentenced to imprisonment J for the term of one's natural life is i hard enough, but to be consigned to | a dungeon cell for a couple of thousand years is indeed harrowing. Yet foreign judges not infrequently impose sentences of several centuries . without it being considered anything remarkable. A young man was arrested in Vi- j enna a couple of years ago who upon i his own showing should have been ! sentenced to 2,500 years' imprison- j ment. A total of 400 charges was j * ? i -li I brought against mm, ami ne was j convicted and sentenced on all. of ! them. But the judge was a rncrci- i ful man, and in passing sentence he threw off a thousand years in consideration of the man s Youth.
