Mark TYain's Story,

A-fcw years ago the Band Of Work
crs, or some other church society.
gave an entertainment in Hartford.
and Mark was requested 10 tell q
story. He consented and q large audi
ence was the result. When ne mount
ed the platform he insisted that the
gas be turned down low. Up on the
stage stood Mr. Clemens. with a
strong light from a reflector shining
ful! III his face, while all the rest was
dark knees. He presented a weird spec
tacle. with his hair standing up all
over his head. In a deep, sepulchral
voice he began and said he would tell
the tale of THE Golden Arm" This
tale tells how q young girl had an ar
tlticIal arm made of gold; she died and
was buried, and her father finally
thought he would exhume her BODY
and take the arm that he might sell it.
Accordingly one dark, stormy night,
he set out on his mission. All this
while Marks voice kept growing deep
cr and more sepulchral The father
dug up the body, obtained possession of
the coveted arm, and started back
home.
The wind WAS bowling. the road was
dark and gloomy, and the guilty pa
rent nervous and very much frighten-
ed. Suddenly, above the mournful
cry Of the soHghing wind, came low,
dismal wall, saying: Where's my
golden arm? Where's my golden
arm" and glancing over his shoulder
the terrified father saw the ghost of
his daughter, her good arm gesticuat-
ing wildly, pursuing him. He ran on
home, and all the while came the wall
of the child, saying: Where's my
golden armI" Upstairs he went this
cry still ringing in his ears. He un-
dressed and timidly crept into bed
Out on the stairs, nearer, ever nearer,
he heard the wall, and in terror lis
tened to the patter Of advancing foot
steps. Suddenly the door was opened
and the ghOstly figure Of his daug ghter
advanced to his bedside, crying,
where's my golden armG'' The ia
ther, frightened almost to insensi-
bility, covered up his head in the
blankets, and the spook placed her
hand on the coyerIcts and cried,
Where's my golden arml" Just at
this moment Mark gave a jump,
spread out his arms wildly, and in a
voice that could have been heard in
Massachusetts shrielicd, ''In hook, by
jingO." AT meeting of the Band of
Workers held a short time afterwards
it was unanimously voted not to ask
Mark Twain to tell any more stories

Pope Nicholas V Thomas Parcn-
tucellD was born at Pisa in 1898. Edu-
Gated at Florence and Bologna, he
fixed his residence at the latter city,
Of which. he subsequently, became
bishop by the appointment of Pope
Eugenius ". During the stormy
period of tho councils of Basel and
Florence, and in the difficult nego-
tiations of the German and other
churches which arose therefrom, he
conducted himself with such ability
and prudence that on the death OF
Eugenius " he was chosen to sue
ceed him on March E, 1447. At this
time the Antelope Felix Y still
maintained himself, although sup
ported by very small party. But
Nicholas V prevailed upon him tc
abdicate, and thus restore the peace
Of the church by terminating the
schism in 1449 In the Judgment ot
the literary world, however, The great
distinction of the pontifcate of Nicho
las V lies in the eminent service which
he rendered to that revival of letter:
that dates from his time
The comparative rcpOse in which he
found the world at his accession en-
abled him to employ for the discovery
and collection OF those masterpieces O.
ancient learning measures which were
practically beyond the resources Of hi
predecessors. He dispatched agents t.
all the great centers of the east ant
west to purchase or copy every impor
tant Greek and Latin manuscript. Til,
number collected by Nicholas wa
about five thousand. He enlarged ant
improved the Roman university. H
romodeled and may have been said t.
have created the Vatican library
Eminent scholars from the east on,
west were invited to Rome, and he ell
deavored to check the progress of tE,
Turkish arms by arousing the Chris
tan princes of Europe to al effort 70
the saving of Constantinople. Blu
Nicholas did not live to see the fruit
of the revival Of letters which he ha,
inauguratcd, dying March "a, 1855, a
the age Of 57.-Philadclphia Times.

That Awful Boy.

For time after the various drop-a-
nickel-in-thc slot machines were in
troduccd they made honest returns for
the chewing gum and various other
articles which they supply for cash in
advance. One morning, however, an
inspector upon unlocking machine
at the New York end of the Brooklyn
bridge, was amazed to find that his
stock had disappeared without leaving
the necessary cash to balance ac-
counts. For some hours he was un-
able to explain the shortage, but his
final conclusion was, that an alert boy
had attached string to coin with a
hole in it, and had iished through the
slot until the box ceased to yield fur
theT profits.
For all that, however, these ma,
chimes pay large amounts monthly to
those who are interested in them.
They are, like the weighing machines,
the property of stock company, and
a gentleman who has invested a por-
ton Of his money in them tells me
that they yield him a larger interest
than he can get in any other way

A swift" BARBER.

There's q black haired, boy faced
barber in the Astor house who be-
lieves he can work faster than any Of
his trade in the country. A man who
sat in his chair on Wednesday asked
to be shaved in n hurry. The shave
was finished in less than three minutes.
You'll have time for q shampoo
now," said the little barber. "Only
three minutes more"
1t was a good shampoo, worked in
with the fingers and stiff brush. The
head was washed and dried with n
sponge Seven minutes after he sat
down in his chair tho man put on his
overcoat and asked for his hat
Ny razor was n little off today"
said the barber, apologetically. 81
shaved and shampooed man the other
day and trimmed his hair all in seven
and half minutes. New York Sun.

Until the year 1864. when there was
discovered in the county of Cumbcr-
land, in the northwestern part of Eng
land, a mine of the best and purest
graphite, the lead pencil was un-
known TO the world. This mine at
Borrowdale at once became very cele-
brated, and of course very valuable
Pencils made of Cumberland graphite
were sold all over Europe, and were
highly priced everywhere The man
ufacture of lead pencils became a very
important business, and the British
government, in order to protect the
new industry, passed laws prohibiting
the export of graphite to foreign lands.
Only certain quantity, enough to
supply the requirements of the pencil
makers, was doled out on the first
Monday of every month, and a mill
tary force had TO be kept IT the mines
to protect them from bands of marau-
ders.
For nearly 300 years England sup.
piled the world with lead pencils, and
then the great Cumberland mine,
which had added SO much to the coffers
of Great Britain, became exhausted
The metallic part of this little imple-

But there is not a particle of lead in it.

not more than sixty years ago, in re-
fined New England, the ministers Of
the gospel were known in several
cases to be partners in dram shops
and wpiskey taverns. If a minister
were to do this today in less than 24
hours his name would be heralded
across the continent from Florida to
Alaska, from ocean to ocean, i'm
shame. Then tell us that the world
is growing worse, that crime is on
the increase, that the standard of
public morals and individual recti-
tude is on the decline. We do not
believe it, it is not so! History dis
proves 1.-THE today denies it! Such
is the case only in places where the
leven has not yet reached. Yes, the
leven is doing its heavenly work!
and the time is coming when the
whole human family will be
levened-eleyated, refined; saved,
redeemed!
