A traveler says that Christiaus lu Mo rocco look with suspi.-Iou 011 the shrines of Mohammedan saints in that country. lie tells the following story: "Once upon a time a boy was traveling through the country, aud as night cumo 011 he found himself near a white washed tomb. Knocking at the door of the shrine, he asked for a meal and a bed. When the next day dawned he was about to continue his journey, but the keeper of the shriue besought him to remain In order to help him keep the shrine and collect the offerings of the faithful. The youth said that ho must tirst consult his pareuts, and the elder man bade him take his ass and seek advice of his pareuts aud return. The boy took the ass and rode away, but he had not accomplished half the journey before the ass fell sick and died. Then the boy knew not what to do nor where to turn. But when he had considered the circumstances of his ease a brilliant idea flashed Into his mind. ••Having dug a pit aud cast the ass therein, he piled great stones over It, whitening them with lime, and set a white flag above, saying to all who passed by, 833 82 4U2 02 S 1285 84 $ 1235 81 4Thls is the toiub of St. So- and-so.' Then worshipers came from every side, alius were poured in and offerings showered upon him. The keeper of the former shriue lost-his customers and came to visit the new saint. He when tho crowd had gone approached the young shrine keeper. 'I ask thee by Aligh,' said the old man, 'who Is this saint of thine and what maimer of thing Is burled here?* 'I will not deceive thee, but will tell thee the truth,' returned the youth. 'My saint who Is burled here none other than thy beast, even the carcass of thine own ass. And now, pray, who Is thy saint and who In truth Is burled in the shrine thou keepest?' *1 will not deceive thee, but will tell thee the truth,' replied the old man. *My saiut Is the father of thy saint.'"

Many years ago, in tbe tens or twen ties of 'the last century, there was a revival-at the Congregational chapel in Penzance, Cornwall. The pastor, John Foxell, was a famous minister In his day. On the occasion referred to a revival had been going on for sometime. Various converts were allowed to have their say. One Sunday the usual sermon gave way to abort prayers and singing. One convert, a well-meaniug, but not too well educated man, burst forth In prayer and, among other remarks, he appealed to the Lord to "annihilate" the king. .11 IM This caused no little surprise to the loyal scctlon of the somewhat "classy" congregation. Some were uneasy, and tho pastor, at tho conclusion of the serv ice, quietly called the speaker aside and asked him why he was so reckless as to use such republican language on such a serious occasion. The poor fellow seemed puzzled and dazed be did not know that he had said anything out of the way. "What on earth did you want to anni hilate the king for?" asked the pas tor. "Well, why not. if it were for his good?" replied the man. "Perhaps you do not know the ex act meaning of the word, "annihilate/ retorted Mr. Foxell. kindly. "I admit I do not," remarked the con vert, "but 1 happened to comc across the word a few clays ago,.and it looked to me a good and important word, and I thought the best words should al ways be reserved for the king, and when I was praying and put in a word for his safety thought it a good, grand and swinging word to use In his behalf but I did not want to get rid of his majesty." nmo P'd war'nt todate.... lltm 00 80 00 $ 30 00 PAVINO FUND. HUMMING BIRD FANS YOUNG feathered Mother XeepB Up Quiver ing Motion to Protect Wee Crea tures from Heat. William Lovell Finley, the new nat urallst-photographer, writes as follows in the Country Calendar: "The way a humming bird mother would alight on her nest was a marvel to me. She always stopped on the dead twig of a maple before dropping to her home. 1 saw her do it several times. $he came at a nest like a meteoric streak. I held my breath lest the whole thing be splintered to atoms, for she hit the little cup without the slightest pause that I could see. But, when she alighted, It put to shame the touch of floating thistle-down. "When the nestlings were very young, the mother never left them alone long at a time. If the day was warm, if the sun shone on the nest, the mother hov ered over with wings and tall spread wide. When It was hottest, IJiave seen the mother sit forward on the nest edge spread her tail till she showed the white tips of her feathers, and keep up a constant quivering, fanning motion with her wings and tail to give protec tion to the frail midgets in the nest M35 25 597 HO CENTENARIAN IS A TEACHER Manuel Garcia at Age of One Hun dred Is Still Enlightening Britishers in Music. Manuel Garcia, one of the most re markable men in the world, has re cently sat for his portrait to John S Sargent. Garcia is a Spanish singer who visited the United States in 1825 with an opera company, and sang in various parts ot the country. The fa mous siuger, \iadame Malibran, was his sister, lie returned to Europe and taught Jenny Lind in Paris, and for the past 50 years or thereabouts has been a music teacher in London. He was 100 years old on March 17 and is still teaching. He was a professor of music in the British Royal Academy of Music until he was 90, when he retired to receive pupils privately. It Is be lieved that the portrait which Sargent has painted is the only one of a cen tenarian in existence, and Garcia him self is probably the only person who ever taught singing in his hundredth year. A Soapy Lake. Some Interesting items may at times be unearthed from the-consular reports. For example, there is a description of a soapy lake in the annual statement of the trade and commerce of Nicara gua. This sheet of water, the Lake of Nejapa, contains a strong solution of bicarbonate of potash, bicarbonate of soda and sulphate of magnesia. "This water, when rubbed on any greasy ob ject, at once forms a lather." The re port says it is used as a hair wash, and enjoys a local reputation as a cure for external and Internal complaints. The Nlcaraguans are not conspicuous for commercial enterprise, but during tbe year they managed to export "four demijohns" of this wonderful water to the neighboring Guatemala. Battlesnake Weed. In California there grows a plant called the rattlensnake weed. It gets Its name from the story that when rat tlesnakes fight and bite each other, this weed, if eaten by them, will prevent death. The plant grows about six Inches tall, and has a red Btalk and slender leaves. On the top of the stalk there is a head of flowers, and the seeds of these flowers are furnished with sharp barbs, called stickers. The early settlers always made their herds men carry a bottle of Btrong tea made of rattlesnake weed, and when one of the sheep was bitten it was drenched with this fluid. The treatment was said to be effective. Paderewcki's Memory. Paderewskl can play from memory nore than 5S0 compositions.

In its harbor will bo found argosies from France, Spain, Portugal, New England and Nova Scq tia, all engaged in reaping the harvest from the ocean, while the British in dustry was permanently transferred there as the colony, the oldest In the empire, became settled.

The muchtnest happened to bo in tho ofllce, aud he took the pen and held it over the gas jet for thirty seconds. "You can make an old pen as good as new," he said, "by holding it over a flame like this for half a minute and afterward dipping It In cold water." He dipped the hot pen in cold water as he spoke, and It sizzled slightly. "Now try it," he said. The bookkeeper tried the pen and ex claimed joyously, "By George, it's as good as new again."
