a good story is told of n well known
Episcopal bishop. The bishop is avery
staid, glum sort Of man, and the last
one i'll the world to enjoy joke, espec-
tally one on himself. a waggish
friend, meeting him the other day in a
car, astonishcd him by exclaiming, af-
ter reference to his high church prin-
ciples:
"Why, bishop, hear that on Easter
you appeared in your pulpit with a
crown and palm"
"What!' said the bishop in astonish-
ment. "Nonsensc! You know bet
ter"
Eyes" said the other, "with crown
on your head aud palm in your
hand"
at is libel! Who could have start
ed such a story?" responded the distin-
guishcd prelate, warmly. "But
pshawl it is idle to talk about it, it is
SO absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the bishop did not forget his friends
words. They prcyed on his mind and
worried him; he was afraid the libel
Gus, atrocious report would get into
the papers, and then it would become
popularly accepted fact which there
would be no DENYING.
He sought for his friend the next day
at his office for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story, but
the other, who is considerable of 6
wag, sorely vexed the spirit of the ac
complished prelalc before he would
make any satisfactory explanation, ant

eye, he exclaimed:
"Why, bishop, haven't you a crown
on your head and palm in you

The bishop was so much pleased will
the explanation that he succeeded il
raising laugh, though the expression
OF the fierce solemnity that settled oil
his features ,as he left shortly after
leads his friends to believe that he di,
not thoroughly enjoy the joke.

fell insensible from pain and fright, and
the baboon escaped to the roof. An
alarm was soon given, and the story
grew so wild that great excitement pre-
vailed, and two or three thousand people
soon filled the street, armed with all
sorts of weapons. A squad of police
and number of volunteers went to the
roof when the monkey was found on the

were fired without effect, and the chase

A Balloon Dinner Episode.

Bishop Colenso gives this incident IN the
early lile OF South American baboon.
There is something quantity human about
1t: 'lt was a no! day and a number Of
balloons were summing themselves along
tho bottom Of the Donga. They lay upon
their backs with half closed eyes, rubbing
their stomachs In state of placid enjoy
ment. Two Or three young balloons had
wandered a little distance down tho /
Donga, searching for scorpions from stone
to stono just below them. They were not
very successful, and 1t did not appear that
their movements were Of much concern to
their elders. Presently. however, ono of
tho young ones, turning up stone, lit
upon particular fine and fat scorpion,
winch, with furitvc glance around ut his
elders, he selzed and put into his mouth,
having first pinchcd OF the sting. Ho at
once proceeded to turn the stone over again
WITT great assiduity, ais though In further
unsuccessful search for scorpions. He had
not escaped notice,h owever, for down the
gully in sluggishtI anne great. baboon
who seized the young ono by the cuff of
the neck, shaking him vigorously until the
plump morscl dropped from his pouch.
Having gobblcd this up, the elder baboon
at once regaincd Ills lounge, and all went
on as before In the sleepy hollow"

"Contrlbutlve NeRliRence."

The snow was falling fast, and Isaac Sil-
berstein was slowly making his way
through the pelting storm. His melodious
cry Of Gee -chaw-glass- -pud-in" sounded
muttlcd, and he staggered under the weight
of his frame of wtndow-glass, which he had
carried all the way frem Bayard street.
Patrick MCGUIRE one Of the laborers on
the Elevated Railroad, had been into
Henry Knubel's saloon to warm his heart
with hot whisky, and emerging, crowbar
In hand stepped on large coal grating in
front of the door. Isaac also stepped on
tho grating. In tho next moment an in
stantaneous change took place In the posi-
tion OF the parties. Isaac lay prone ON
the snow, while on the other sido of the
grating Patrick tloundercd like fish out
of water, In their sudden fall tho crow
bar collided with the glass frame, and
poor Isaac's stock in trade lay shattered
around. The crowbar flying off at tan
gent made Bodine bull g. eye IN the crown
Of Pats tall hat. When they regaincd
their feet, Isaac and Patrick looked wildly
around and glared flcrcely at each other.
Isaac calculated, "Mine Gott, my glass;
fehr dollar, fehr dollar" and Patrick re-
spendent, "Bad luck attend ye; LUX at my
hat"
An officer came up, and Isaac, said that
Pat trlpped him up with the crowbar.
Pat was taknn into custody, and Isaac,
carefully gathering up tho fragments of
glass, followed him to Court to obtain his
'fehr" dollars.
Pat was all indignation, Isaac all suavlty.
"Will you swear" said the Court, "that
he tripped you up with the crowbar3"
IL bring hundred thousand witness, I"
answered Isaac promptly.
Thin, why don't ye bring thcml" said
Patrick. 'lt's lie he's telling. lie
shipped on the gratin' and stumbled
against mo, and fell with him. 1t was
all his own fault, and he ought to pay me
for mo hat.
'Contrfbutivc negligence Is the defense" /"
said the Court, ''and l never knew any
one obtain damages against railroad COM
pany when that defense was set up. This
court cannot on the evidence furnish q
precedent in 80 important matter. Isaac.

The Court-"Thc finest wrcstlers In Ire
land. Isaac, no would have used his foot
instead of the crowbar. Sue him for dam.

Then thoy stood on tho sidewalk, Patrick
gazing at the hole In his hat and Isaac
contemplating sadly the wreck of matter
and the crash Of glass which Datrck's
| crowbar had created.

Indians.

The whole number of Indians In tho
United States, except Alaska, is paced at
$50, 864, though 1t Is obvious that the emu.
meration Of the'savago tribes Is guess work
merely. The number of Indians who wear
citizens dress is given at 127, ,468. In 1868
the number of Indians who occupied houses
was 8,648. In the decade this has been
increased to %. 900. The number Of In
dian schools Is $3.50, more than double the
number OF ten years ago, and the pupils,
increasing In like proportion, number l2,-
222. The amount spent on education is
given as 1858, 1875. The number of In
dians who can read is given as al, 800. Tho
church membership Includes 30, 900. Pas
toral and agricultural products have greatly
increased within the decade. For instance,
In 1868 the number OF sheep owned was
1868; In 1878, 694,674. The statistics
gre drawn cq,efy from the Indian Terri.
tory, though they profess to cover the entire
Indian population.

A Bath In tho Dead Sea.

Greatly relieved and refreshed, we pur-
sued our journey. AS We came IN sight of
the Dead Sea we noticed that peculiar hazy
appearance of the atmosphere, reminding
us of Indian summer In our own country,
and we found ourselves subject to that
singular optical deusion sometimes pro-
duoed by very transparent and highly
rarefed atmosphere, in which distant OBJ
jects appear quite near. At a certain
point, when we were some five distant, 1t
seemed as if we were within half mile of
the shore. Reaching, at length, this most
globe, we prepared to take bath-and
such bath l can hardly expect ever to
take again. had previously bathcd In
numerous seas, lakes, and rivers, but never
did ] enjoy such bath as this. The spe-
cihc gravity of the water is such, from its
holding in solution 30 large proportion of
salts, (twenty-six and half per cent }
that one floats upon the surface like cork.
At the time there was only gentle ripple
upon tho sea, and being good swimmer
at once struck out INTO deep water. soon
found out that could swim and float with
wonderful case, and that I could actually
walk in the water, sinking only to tho arm
pits, Discovering this fact, | made for
the shore, and taking DR.. g., one of the
party, who could not swim, by the hand,
led him out into the sea where the w6ter
was many fathoms deep. At first he was
quite reluctant to fellow me, but he soon
gained confidence on finding there was no
danger of sinking, and he enjoyed the nov
el bath as much as If he had been an expert
swimmer.

never recovered entirely from the shock.
His character changed. He grew moody,
unsocial and gloomy. He married the
same Josephine whom his father had chosen
as bride for him. This marriage entered
into with little love or inclination, proved
far from happy. Josephine was gifted
with bodily and mental charms, which
kept her husband faithful to her for time.
She, however. was not equally faithful to
him. Still their life was outwardly calm
and peaceful until 1889, when political
business drew Count Potocki to Jassy. Here
he again met Sophie, at that time visitor
of Potembin, and here matters came to O
crisis. Although Potocki was over 40 years
and the father of large fam ly ,he became
so infatuated with Sophie that he resolved
for her sake, to seek separation from his
wife. Negotiations were entered into with
De Witt, who readily consented, for q
stipulation, to give up Sophia. Once more
the bca utiful woman was sold. We
are not this time made acquainted with
the terms Of agreement. Apparently the
lovely Greek was not averse to an arrange
ment which gavo her for husband one Of
the wealthiest noblemen of Poland. The
marriage, however, was not consummated
until the year following. Tho bishop
Sierakowski, influenced, it Is is said. by
brlbee, dissolved the tie which bound him
to Josephine. Sophie was likewise freed
from obligations to her husband. The
newly married pair departed for Hamburg,
where they remained several wears. On
bis return TO his native land Potocki de-
voted himself to the creation of that bit of
OF fairy land, that lasting monument of his
infatua,,on for the beautiful woman, then
his wife, that celebrated spot which bears
her name, 'Soajowka." Out of barren
waste, upon which 10000 laborcrs were
employed, grew this beautiful country scat,
which even to this day is the admiration
OF all visitors. The immense parks, tho
artificial lakes, rocks, streams and woods
have often been described by travellers and
by the Polish poet Trembccki
IN his poems entitled ''Sohjowka." In this
spot, absorbed in his love for his wife,
Potocki passed the last 10 years OF his life.
Here his Nemesis met HIM. Potocki's
eldest son, likewise called Felix, had been
banished by the czae from St. Petersburg
on account Of his enormous debts. His
father not only paid these debts amounting
to two millions, but gave his son the con.
troll OF two large estates. In return, Felix,
the younger, rewarded his father by win.

between tho two lasted many
years. When at last discovered by Count |
Potocki 1t Is said TO have fastened his |
death, which took place ut Sofjowka In
1905. Sophie inherited one half of her
estates and continued to live ut
Sofjowka with her five children, leading
an active, hospitable and apparently res
pectable life. Her house was throngcd |
with guests and admirers. She died in
Berlin in 1928.
