A Clever Nun.

When Mohammed Ahmed made his
triumphant entry into III Obeid, he
called on the Christians to change their
religion and acknowledge him az the
Messiah whose coming was foretold in
Holy Writ One of the French Sisters of
Mercy, stepping forward, replied that It
was said in the Bible that the Messiah
would make himself known by his mira.
Giles. and he would remove all doubts as
to his identity by kindly performing one
for the benefit of horself and her col.
Leagues. The Mahdi answered that her
request was perfectly reasonable. but
that the time for the working of miracles
had not yet come. Meanwhile, how.
ever, he would take the missionaries
under his protection, with view to
preparing them for conversion pending
the day when he would dazzle them all
by his exploits The courageous nun,
in all probability, saved herself and her
fellow Christians by this clever reply,
which placed Mohammed Ahmed in an
awkward dilomma. -Ncw York iade.

They All Hoisted Their Umbrellas

Yesterday afternoon at Q o'clock the

not even an indication of rain. Coroner

joker, had his silver handled umbrella

Harry Bennett, walking up the street,
he said: "I'm going to hist this thing
Just to see what the people will do. 3"
They had been walking half square,
when a woman with market-baske

Robinson's circus tent, raised it and went
trudging along. As they passed through
the Court street market space every man
who met them and had an umbrella with
him hoisted it, They had not proceeded
a square on Vine street when dozen
other people did the same thing.
"What do you suppose they did it
for" asked an Enquirer reporter of the
coroner last evening.

Freaks OF Watches.

Watches are queer things. They
possess some unaccountable peculiarities
For instance, some time about the begin.
ming OF last summer, when there had
been succession of fine displays of the
aurora borealis, it was estimated that in
single night in the city of New
York the mainstrings of not less than
three thousand watches broke This
estimate is based on actual inquiries.
Fine sensitive watches are particularly
liable to be affected by electrical atmos-
pheric disturbances. During the months
of June, July and August, when these
phenomena are most frequent, there are
more mainsprings broken than during all
the remaining months Of the year. They
break In variety of ways, sometimes
swapping into rs many as twenty seven
pieces.
1t is fact that, since the introduction
Of the electric light has become so gen
eral, a large number of watches, some of
them very fine ones, have become mag.
netized. While in this condition they
are useless as timekeepers. This defect
used to be incurable, and because of it
thousands of watches have been thrown
away after much money had been spent
on them in vain attempts to persuade
them to keep good time. Among the
methods resorted to were washing the
parts in garlic juice, refnishing, and
passing them through the fire. But all
these devices were entire failures or only
in part effective. | know of a man who
had fine and valuable movement which
kept excellent time. He transferred it
from silver case to a secondhand gold
one. Immediately it lost all its charac-
teristics of steadness and reliability, and
in fact did not keep time at all. When
replaced in the silver case, it kept good
time again. The owner, a jeweler, puz-
zled himself and experimental in vain
to discover the cause of this strange
Partially on the part of his watch for
silver. At length he sent it to an ex-
pert. He discovered that the lifting
spring Of the gold case had become mag
netized. On substituting another for it,
the watch kept as good time in the gold
case as in the silver case.-Je,oeter's
