A Persian Solomon. Of tho distinguished authos of Porsln none, perhaps, hns enjoyed n wider popularity than Sadl, who lived In tho thirteenth century. Ho wns a traveler and a close observer, and his anecdotes nnd short stories nro described des-cribed as being founded on his own oxporlonces nnd observntlons. In "Persian Poetry for English Headers" Mr, S. Hoblnson quotes tho following from Sadl's writings: A pupil said to his Instructor, "Whnt am I to do, for peoplo incommode incom-mode mo with tho frequency of their visits to such n degree that their conversation con-versation produces a great distraction of my valuable, time?" Tho teacher replied: "To every ono who Is poor, lend; and from overy ono who Is rich, borrow. They will not como about you ngnln." Another examplo embodies excellent excel-lent advice: A silly tollow, having a pain in his eyes, went to n farrier and asked him for a remedy. Tho farrier applied to his eyes something Which ho would have given to an animal, and It blinded him, upon which they mado nn appeal to tho magistrate The mag.strato said: "This Is no caso for dnmages. It Is plain thnt this follow is nn nss, or ho would not hnvo gono to n farrier."
