CHINESE converts are made uprosr-
iously happy by singing that staid and
solemn tune, "Old Hundred" In fact,
they so greatly prefer it to all other
tunes that at n recent prayer meeting,
in which three hymns and a doxology
were sung, these o n of the Celestials
insisted on singing "Old Hundred" to
all of them. BY the time they reached
the last line of the Doxology China had
gained its climax of discordant enthu-
siasm. There is no music in the Chi
nese voice.
In Toledo, the other day, John Rey-

who was called to testify to John'sgood
character, came twenty miles to do SO.
While the trial was progressing a large
revolver found on the prisoner was
shown, and the witness who had come
twenty miles to testify, recognized the
weapon as one of a lot which had been
stolen from his store last October. The
prisoner confessed he was the burglar.
BAD luck followed Frank Gerrity of
Detroit. He was sick for three months.
His first employment afterward was
running II locomotive, and on the very
first day he fell off, receiving injuries
that kept him abcd for several weeks.
Three days after rcsuming work his
train ran off the track and he was badly
injured. This time he was a month re-
covering. The railroad company, hold
ing him responsible for the accident,
would not hire him again. "This is n
tough world" he said, and shot himself
into the next.
EGYPTIAN ladies would regard it as
highly indecorous to display upon the
streets the attractions nature has be-
slowed upon them, or the magnilicence
of their dress. When they go about
the streets Of Cairo on shopping expe-
ditions, they cover themselves with a
dismal robe of black. As a general
rule, whatever they are compelled to
exhibit to the public gaze is of a sim
plicity frequently amounting to ugli-
ness, while what they reserve for pri-
vate inspection is gorgeous and ornate
in the extreme.
THE foreign journals tell of a young
Arab widow, daughter of a chief, whose
husband was murdered by the Turks.
Her father, touched by the prayers and
tears of his child, called the Bedouin
horsemen of the Benz Kawas to arms.
The woman, armed like the men, and
carrying their banner, like Joan OF Arc,
was always foremost in her attacks upon
the enemy, closely followed by her
father and her brothers, and n horde of
horsemen. The Turkish Government
has set a price on her head in order to
stop the slaughter of the soldiers. The
Arabian poets have made the heroine
the subject of their songs, and she is
nov the most famous parsonage in the
district of Boder.
