residing outside of his native State; and

A Persian Midas.

When passing an Arabs tent / met
man from Shuster, who related several
anecdotes to me, among which was the
following version Of tho story of Midas
and his asses ears. King Shapur had
horns, Of which he was greatly ashamed
Fearing that his subjects might learn the
fact and that his dignity might be com
promised, he ordered every barber who
shaved his head to be put to death Inn
mediately afterward, so that the secret
might not transpire. At length one who
was about TO experience this fate sue
ceeded in persuading the king to spare his
life and to employ no one else, so that the
secret, which he took solemn oath rot
to reveal. might remain with him alone.
For three years he kept his oath, but at
last, the secret becoming too heavy load
for him to bear, to release himself from It
he went TO the mouth of well and called
out: taOh, WELL Know that King Ehapur
has horns" Shortly afterward q shep-
herd passing by the well cut reed grow
ing at its edge to make himself q pipe 70
pipe his sheep. The first time he played
upon It, instead Of music, there only came
from It the words: 'sShapur has hOrnsI
Shapur has hornsr' The king soon
learned that his secret had been betrayed.
and sent for the barber, who confessed
that although he had diyulged II TO no
one, according TO his oath, he had been
compelled, in consequence Of the int0lerar
bic burden Of keeping It, TO deliver him-
self Of Il at the mouth Of the well. King
Shapur accepted his excuse and graciously
pardoned him.-Early Adventures In Per-
sia, Sir Henry Layard.

Some years ago George d. Wise, now
one Of the Virginia representatives In the
house, playfuHy called Riddleberger a
blanked liar in the columns of Rich
mond newspaper, and Riddleberger
straightaway sent challenge To show
the bloodthirstiness of the man when
angered, he sent a challenge to Editor
Beirne that same day, and he arranged to
fight the two duels on the same afternoon.
Wise chose pistols for weapons, and the
meeting was at o'clock D. m., in a.
clump of woods a few miles from Rich
mond and so near the residence of the
judge of the county that he could hear
the shots.
At the first fire Wise's pistol did not go
off, and Riddleberger's ball flew wide of
the mark. Wise then handed his pistol
to his second and told him there was
something the matter with it. The ball
was drawn, the pistols reloaded and the
combatants took a second fire. At this
time Wise's bali cut Riddleberger's coat
tail, but Riddleberger's shot again wasted
itself on the air. Riddleberger reached
down his hand and looked at the place
where the ball had gone through his $40
coat. He then raised his hand and
scratched his head. He was evidently
annoyed. He thought a moment, still
scratching, and then, to Wise's surprise,
he seized the pistol by the barrel and
threw it as far as he could into the bushes.
He then threw out both arms, and walk
ing half ways toward Wise, held out his
hand and intimated thatshe thought they
had better settle the matter in other ways.
Wise replied that he had nothing TO COM
plain of and, ii Riddleberger was satisfied,
he was, and SO the duel ended. Frank 6.

The fast runs out of Chicago are all
night runs, and 1t is night run that tries
she engineers courage. Driving ahead at
q mile a minute into sea of darkness,
which human eye cannot penetrate Is
work such as no cowardly or even timid
man could perform.
Among engine drivers there are bold
men and timid men, but only the former
were selected for these fast runs. A tinid
nan, prone to shut off steam for every
shadow seen on the track, or for every
imaginary danger, for engineers are called
upon continually to beat back their own
tpprehensions, could never make time ON

ExperlenOos Of Night watohmen.

Night watchmen have very different
experiences winter and summer. When
other folks enjoy themselves in the city,
they have to work hardest. The night
watchman's fun begins when the big
houses on Fifth avenue are closed for the
summer. He has access to every part OF
the mansion, lolls on soft lounges, reads
81 ,00D books, and picks up fair knowl-
edge of the old masters from the picture
gallery.-New York Sun.

A GREAT CONTRAST.

To any one who has seen the position
old country press men have to bend to the
contrast is great. The American who for
gets that an American press man is an
American gentleman would find himself
rebuked in a way he never would forget
But such rudeness is hardly ever risked
The high position taken by the staff.of
the American newspapers is too widely
recognized, and men Of the proudest posi-
ton are pleased to meet the American
interviewer, treat him graciously and
give him whatever assistance is wanted
TO be polite, frank and affable is the
Americans prerogative. The Old World
snob who affects airs meets with eupreme
ridicule in the United States. 1 have
met one or two in the hotels utterly horri-
fed at American familiarity; even the
negro walters laugh at their comical pre-
tensions.
There is none If the rivalry and shop
jealousy between the staff Of one Ameri-
can paper and the STAFF Of another SO alb
surdly fostered in the old country. The
American press men treat each other as
gentlemen simply because they are so.
Bad manners and stupidity 60 together,
and / have not come across any stupid
press men I'm America Editors and city
editors make no distinction Of persons in
their staff, and they have no reason to do
so. A clever reporter knows he win get q
good situation sooner than either editor
or city editor, and, If anything, the re-
porter is master Of the situation. AS may
be inferred, talent OF the highest order is
the only passport to position on tic
American press. A canny Scotchman
without brains could not keep berth on
the New York press for twenty-four
hours. With such racking work Of brain
and body, 1t may be surmised, the strain
is tremendous, and in proof the American
press mans professional Life is q short
one. Among the many American news
paper men cannot recoIlect seeing one
white haired man. No doubt some Of the
more brilliant press men find their way
into congress ana into public life, and not
few fall into ether and more lucrative
pursuits. Many Of the American million
aires have started life as fnterviewers and
owe their success to the training 50 OBJ
tained. And no other point can better IL
lustrate the ability 50 essentially inter-
Laced with the American press. To grasp
The salient points Of public question, 70

ponent may throw upon these, requires no

.Do you know that we had a case in

parallel to the Whitechapel murders2'
said Detective John Schnucks at police
headquarters. ut was out in the West
End, and you will all remember thecase.
1t was TIT Of a man who went around
night after night manning horses. He
would make a sneak into a stable at
night and hamstring a horse. He took
the greatest delight, it appeared, in cut
ting up the poor animals, rendering them
entirely useless, and all had to be killed
afterwards. That was about nine years
ago. It was a strange mania, and be-
fore the fellow was captured he had
carved up about twenty horses. Then We
got onto him. He proved to be an old fel'
low who had been released from a luna.
tic asylum as cured. He had gone in
sam from being kicked by q horse, and
in his deviiish way sought revenge. lie
was returned TO the asylum and is there

OF the nardesI neius iii tne wurid which
are neglected by others. For instance,
they have almost the monopoly of the
field in Greenland and Labrador. A
century and a half ago they began to
send missionaries 20 the East Indies. In
some Of the toughest parts Of Central
Asia, and Of Australia, their missions
were long ago planted. They recently
established a mission in Alaska. They

ization Of high priced secretaries. Each
Moravian is expected 10 give something
toward missions. Very few omlt this
duty.
The chief center Of the Morayian church
in this country is at Bethlehem, Pa. The
famous old church there is large and
plain. There is a full equipment Of edu-
cational buildings in connection with 1t.
The Moravians there are thrifty and con-
servative. Some are wealthy. They do
not put on ecclesiastical style, nor do
they make much worldly display. In
Europe their chief center is Herrnhut, in
Saxony. Their church is one throughout
the world. Herrnhut is to them what
Rome is to the Roman Catholics. When
recently three new bishops were needed
for the church in this country six men
were chosen by the churches in America,
but their names were sent to Herrnhut
hat three might be selected from them
by the brethren there. The Herrnhut
authorities made the selection by casting
lots in the old scriptural way, and the
three whom they thus selected were duly
ordained bishops.
