A FRENCH STORY.

A man was arrested for arson at Vile
ncuve, provincial French town, and, in
the absence of any calaboose, was clap
ped int the lower story Of the Mayos's
vacant villa, which, having grated win
dows, kept him safe. He had hardly lit
his pipe to indulge in a smoke when
along came a stout looking gentleman
with wife, children and maid, who stop
ped to admire the villa. "What nice
house" said the stout gentleman. II
should like to buy it." "That's easy"
replied the prisoner, from the inside, 81
am the proprietor, and will sell at once
provided you pay cash." The nego,
tiations began, the price was haggled
about and agreed upon. The prisoner
said: "My wife has locked me up and
gone to Paris for the day if you fetch a
locksmith from Joinville, and after an
inspection of the premises the building
pleases you, 2OOO francs down and the
rest in three months will conclude the
bargain" Three-quarters of an hour, the
locksmith opened the door and the pris-
oner had disappeared with the stout gen.
tleman's money in his pocket while the
stout gentleman's family congratulated
each other and said: "HOw nice 1t is to
be ones own landlord ~ The appear
ance of the police about nightfall awak-
ened them from their dream. Their dis
may and the rage of the Mayor, who will
probably have to restore the money as
punishment for not sending the prisoner
to the nearest police station, can be i'm
agined.

WITCHCRAFT.-The belief ID witch
craft exists as strongly now in the island
of Orleans, Quebec, to-day as it did in
New England two centuries ago, and the
islanders are regarded by the French
Canadian people generally as adopts in
the black art. A famous wizard was
Jean Pierre Leyallee, who was belle we'd
to be able to control the elements and
get up q storm with neatness and dis
patch on the shortest notice. An old
legend has it that when all Canada was
in dread in the early portion of the last
century over the approach of the mighty
expedition which had put out from Bos-
ton under the command of Sir Hovenden
Walker, Levallee declared that he alone
could destroy the British fleet, and that
bis conntrymen need be under no apdre-
tensions. He built little hut on the
shore, and for three days and nights, it
is said, he carriep on a series of unheard
of lamentations. At midnight of the
third day a terrible storm arose, which
swept entirely over the northern portion
of the continent, and in that storm the
British feet was scattered to the winds
with terrible lose of life, while no harm
whatever was done to the Canadian
coasts. The records of history do not
tally with the island legend, but it is
still firmly believed that Levallee raised
the storm which destroyed the feet, and
saved the colony to France.

THE COUNTRY BOYS.

Tire boys are coming home tomorrow
Thus our rural hostess said;
While Lon and I exchanged quick glances,
Pull of mingled fear and dread.
Had we hither come for quiet,
Hitler fed the city noise,
But TO change it for the riot
of those horrid country boys
Waking one with loud hatlooing
Early every summers day,
Shooting robbins, teasing kittens,
Frightening the wrens away
wrote these lines one happy summer;
To-day smile to read them Ger
Remembering bow with anxious faces
We watched all day the opening door.
They came, the boys six feet in stature,
Graceful, easy, polished men;
Vowed to Lou behind my knitting,
To trust no mothers work again.
For boyhood is thing immortal
As each fond mother will agree;
And sous are boys" to her forever,
Change as they may to you and me.
Now by the window, still and sunny,
Warmed by the rich October glow.
The dear old lady waits and watches
Just az she waited years ago.
Fer Lon and / are now her daughters
We married. those two country boys,
In spite Of all our sad forebodings
About their awkward ways and noise,
Lou springs up to meet football
| list no more for coming feet;
Mother and are waiting longer
Fsr steps on Beulah's foldeD street.
Bat when she blesses Lou's beloved,
And seals 1t with tender kiss,
| know that loving words goupward
Words to another world than this.
Always she speaks in gentle fashion
About my boys'--she always will;
Though one is gray and one has vanished
Beyond the reach of time or ii.

did not tell master Ruby that this was
not his second, nor even his third call,
and that his mother had probably not
thought it necessary to invite him to be
present on every OCCASION
"Don't you want to see mamma, toos
She will be here in a few minutes. She
is fixing up little more before she

Unfortunately for Ruby, the last re-
mark was heard by his mother who was
entering the parlor at the time,
The boy was soon on his way out,
led by a servant, but the outrage was
duly resented.
"My mamma shan't treat me this way
after you come here to live, shall she,
Mr.. Truesdell ?" was his parting shot.
~ would like to know, mamma" said
Ruby one day, about six weeks after
this incident, "why can't l stay in the

to talk to you about buying our house.

darling child to her heart. Two hours
only had passed since that engagement
had been sealed with ring in which a
glowing ruby had been set. In rap

to her child as well as she could, the
meaning of the ring and of the precious
stone he found there.
"Mr. Monier would like to speak to
Mrs. Trowbridge q moment, was PEN
ciled on card that was handed to the
widow.
Nothing wrong, hope,' was the
thought that startled the lady for an in
slant. The marriage ceremony was to
take place next morning, and it was
now half-past eight in the evening. Her
prospective husband had left her half
an hour before, and she was puzzled to
conjecture what reason his lawyer could
have for calling just then.
II have called, madam" said Mr.. Mo-
nier, "tO hand you this document,
which is, as you see, release Of the
mortgage on your property"
"Why how is this 7" said the lady in
surprise. "Has Mr.. Truesdell paid off
this mortgage!"
"Mr. Truesdell has been owner of the
mortgage, madam, for several months,
having purchased it thrsugh MS, before
he became acquainted with you. In
order to restore to you the full aud alb

easiest and most direct way, he has, by
our advice, executed this release while

Here fresh burst of tears interrupted
her, and before the astonished Professor
could find words to reply, her fathers
step was heard in the hall, and Clara
retreated.
Esquire Willisms had found the errand
to the garden less important than he an
ticipated from the urgency of the mes
sage. His mother had sent for him to
ask his advice about some trifling mat
ters-only the transplanting of some cur
rant bushes that Mike was engaged in.
AS he returned to the library he began
to fear what he never observed before,
that his dear old mothers mind was
failing. He said to the Professor: "You
were about to tell me something about
the school, were you not?'
The Professor flushed, but managed to
say "Oh, nothing very Important
am sorry to trouble you, but-(Clara in
the next room behind the drapery said
1t will be so mean if he tells now, } but
we really need new globe and more
chemical apparatus. And I think. sir. the
health of the school would be promoted
by better method of ventilation"
The Squire said he would lay these
matters before the board at the next
meeting, but doubted if they would con-
sent to so great an outlay at one time.
The Professor also had doubts, but did
not say so.
Somewhat to Clara's dismay the Pro-
fessor staid to tea by her fathers invita-
ton. At the table, as she sat demurely
behind the tray and poured the tea, her
small brother, in loud whisper (meant
to be very confidentiaD, said: "Grand-
ma, what makes sisters eyes so awful

A Pretty German Custom.

There is beautiful custom among the
Germans of having chorals played from
the church towers at regular hours of
the day. 1t IS said they first derived
the idea from the Arabs, who at certain
hours of the day and night are called to
prayers by the long wailing cry of the
mosques. When first heard this music
in Stuttgart, coming as it appeared to
me from heaven, 1 was puzzled to know
Its object and the sources whence it
came. / gazed above and around me,
but l failed to detect its source. The
beautiful melody, softened by distance,
was floating in the air. 1t was like the
invisible heavenly choir that enraptured
st. Cecilia. A few days afterward, hap
pening to be in the same neighborhood,
and at the same hour of the day, l was
more fortunate in my discoveries.
again heard the music from above, its
pealing notes coming to me from some
far distance like the strains of church
organ. Near me was the Stifts Kirche,
an old church built in 1908, which has
attached to it an immense octagon tower
rising up to height Of nearly 200

balcony, on which / at last espied
the authors of the strange music.
Several men with brass instruments
were perched on that giddy height play
ing sacred music. When they had fin
ished one piece they moved to another
position on the balcony and played diff
terent tune. Four selections in all were
played, one toward each point of the
compass. On making inquiries after
ward found that this playing from the
church tower had been in practice for
more than 100 years. A German lady,
"once upon time" belonging to one
of the noble families, bequeathed sum
of money, the income of which was ever
after to be devoted to paying the ex-
penses of this religious observance. The
clause in her will stated that chorals or
selections of sacred music were to be
played from this church tower twice a
day, punctually every morning at the
rising of the sun, and also from half.past
III to II at noon. The musicians for
their services are paid marks 600 cents)
a day each--a mark for the morning and
"a mark for the noon service-which, for
walking up and down that long flight of
steps, in addition to playing several
pieces Of church music, is small enough
remuneration. Chorals are also played
from another of the church towers in
Stuttgart by a brass band, and also from
church towers in Ludwigsburg, Rossen-
stein, Friederichshafen, near Stuttgart,
and in others of the very old German
cities and towns.-Sprinataetd Repub-

SIR SAMUEL WHITE BAKER, the dis
tinguished African traveller, and Lady
Baker arrived in San Francisco from
Japan lately. He is a well-preserved,
robust man of 60 years, OF medium
height and stout build, and full gray
whiskers. His exploration commenced
in 1861, when he fitted out company
to explore the sources of the Nile. He
discovered the great fresh-water lake,
Albert Nyanza, naming it after the late
Prince Consort, and, pursuing his ex-
plorations, settled the problem of the
real sources of the Nile and the causes
of the annual Egyptian foundations, de-
monstrating that they were due to the
heavy rainfall of Abyssinia, whose riv-
ers brought down the fertile mud which
has formed the delta of the Nile. Since
1878 he has been making tour of the
world, accompanied by his wife. He
says he hopes in California to have a
chase after the grizzly, the only large
game he has not hunted. He expects to
be in New York by the latter part of
September, and to reach England in
November, just three years from the
date of his departure.

A MoHAMMEDAN believes that if he eats
pork he will be shut out from the joys
of heaven, and that if he dies bald he
will also fail, because the Prophet hauls
all true believers into bliss by the hair
of their heads. Hence the Arab who
killed the French war correspondent in
Tuuis lately nearly starved himself to
DEATH for fear of eating pork, and was
very happy when the authorities per
mitted him to be shot instead of be-
heading him, whereby the Prophet would
have lost his grip at the supreme mo-

STATISTICS recently collected in France
show that since 1872 the total number of
men who have passed through the ranks
of the active French army is 1, 154, 1876.
About two-thirds of them, or 769,S64
men, have served an average time OF four
years, while the remaining third, or
3S4, 932, have served only about ten
months. 1t is not recorded how many
of these ], 154, 796 men are still alive and
available for military duty. Some inter-
esting figures respecting the selection
of men for service are, however, given.
In 1872 the number found liable to it was
3O3, 1910, of whom 80, 433 were discovered,
on examination, to be unfit for it, leav-
ing the number declared fit at 1913
and the actual number enrolled in the
active army at 156,O16. From 1872 down
to 1879 these figures varied only few
thousand men with each year.

THE new Duke of Portland seems to
be generous young man. The Swing
estate in Caithness was bought 10y the
late Duke of Portland not long before
his death, and the tenants have recently
petitioned the present Duke to grant a
permanent reduction in their rents. The
Duke sent an expert down to Scotland to
inquire into the matter, and the report
was that the rents were % per cent. too
high, and they have according been re-
duced. 1t turned out that the property
had been purposely over-rented before 1t
was brought into the market; but it
would have been rather hard upon the
purchaser had he happened to be poor
man.
