A HoapitabIe Church.

"a curious and somewhat significant
incident took place during the Easter
evening service in Grace church" /" said
woman who was present. "The congre-
cation was not large, but in nearly every
pew on the south aisle at least one person
was seated. Two young ladies, apparent
ly strangers, came in late, and presum-
ably applied to the usher for places, as he
was observed motioning them to go up
the aisle. He did not accompany them.
They went on slowly, locking from right
to left, and evidently hesitating about
the propriety of entering, uninvited, a
pew that already had an occupant.
Heads were turned to gaze at them as
they went on up to the last slip in front
of the chancel. There they turned and
came back down the aisle. Their cheeks
were flushed with embarrassment, and
one young girl had tears in her eyes as
they hurriedly left the hospitable portals
of the sanctuary. New York World.

Persons That Turn to Air.

Nearly 200 people mysteriously disap-
peared from the city of Philadelphia
during the year ending with the opening
Of April. This is remarkable exhibit
and one which reminds the writer of an
article which appeared in a French scien-
tifc journal two or three years ago,
wherein the author advances the theory
that death is occasionally actual dissolu-
ton. It is a disease, the writer referred
to maintains, but one from which there
is no suffering; there isno illness or warn
ing of approaching end; the patient sud
denly ceases to exist and as suddenly
fades from sight. He says he has actu-
ally witnessed this phenomenon and that
he was at one time walking with friend
who suddenly vanished and has never
reappeared. With such conclusive tes-
timony he has little doubt that many
persons searched for have actually melt
ed into thin air. He further states that
at the moment his friend disappeared a
strong sulphurous odor pervaded the at.
mosphere.-St. Louis Republic.

An incident Of the Southern Foods.

Another darky bought a bull for
$3.50, worth $50, as he was standing on a
piece of land about the size of saddle
blanket. He probably paid full value.
He shot him seven times with forty
four Winchester rife before he fell,
showing that the vital spark was deeply
implanted. Not finding sufficient dry
space on which to skin him, he tied his
tail to the rear Of skiff and dragged him
to a railroad platform, one and one-half
miles distant, there to butcher him. The
next morning he sent me several large
steaks. They looked more like rubber
door mats than edibles for human be-
ing, so rendered them to an overflow
sufferer, who accepted them smilingly.

According to The New Orleans Plea
yune the workmen pulling down the
Saengerfest building, where the wonder
full feasts of music were given, by placing
their ears to the planks which formed
part of the building, particularly the
thin planks, can hear faint sounds of
music. Scientific gentlemen who have
examined the matter express the opinion
that the phenomenon is due to the fact
that unseasoned wood used in construct
ing the building subsequently contracted
very rapidly, and while in process of
contraction the woody fiber was i'm
pressed by the great musical vibrations,
and now that the planks are exposed to
the freedom of expansion the musical
sounds are developed.

A brilliant star shines in the glowing

twin sister, the most beautiful object in
the heavens after the sun and moon.
She commenced her course as evening
star on Feb 1S, but has been SO near the
sun that she has been invisible until
nearly the present time.
She will shine with increasing splendor
through the rest of the spring, the entire
summer and part of the autumn, and
will complete her course as evening star
early in December. Youths Companion.

A dog on trial for his hfe-a sight i'm
possible outside the jurisdiction Of Mas
sachusetts' curious laws-was the event
that filed the municipal court in Boston,
April 1s, to overhowing with spectators.
Judge Curtis presided. The defendant,
Towser, handsome setter, belonging to
one Nathan Simmons, was charged with
having vicious and savage disposition,
dangerous to the peace and bodily veal
of the good citizens of this common
wealth."
To prove this one Hilmoth Hess swore
that the dog had bitten him without
provocation, and he wanted the hand
some animal killed. Towser's owner de-
INJURED, and the court summoned Tow
ser to prove his good character, and he
was forthwith brought into court and
installed in the pen.
His master retained able counsel for
him, and, amid the litter Of the audi
ence and the smiles of Judge Curtis, the
trial began. The plaintiff told how he
was bitten, but acknowledged that he
had provoked Towser by teasing him.
Others came forward, and, after expa-
.iating on Towser's good qualities, the
prisoner himself was brought forward in
his own behalf.
At various commands he played dead,
walked on his hind legs about the room,
stood on his head, shouldered arms,
whined dismally in imitation of a song
and wound up by marching up the steps
to the judges desk on his hind legs and
shaking paws with his honor.
The latter was greatly tickled, and
without hesitating, said, amid cheers
"Towser, you are peaceable and order
ly canine. give you Judgment in YOU
behalf and dismiss you, the plaintiff pay

A r.r.naid at Lat.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
dated April 20 says: w. W. Stanton,
mate of the schooner Addie Schaefier,
while fishing for bass 300 miles of St.
Augustine, drew In his line and found
entangled therein the strangest fish, II it
is a fish, that has ever been caught.
This strange creature is about six feet
long, pure white and scaleless. The
head and face are wonderfully human in
shape and feature. The shoulders are
well outlined, and very much resemble
those of woman, and the bosom is well
defined and shows considerable develop
ment, while the hips and abdomen con-
tinue the human appearance. There are
four fiippers, two of which are placed at
the lower termination of the body, and
give one the impression that nature
made an effort ito supply the strange
creature with lower limbs. Mr.. Stanton
confesses to quite a fright on first sight
Of his queer prize, which, ON being drawn
on board, gave utterance to low, moan
ing sound, which might easily have bee.
mistaken for the sobbing of baby.
It is extremely unfortunate that Mr.
Stanton did not succeed in keeping the
creature alive, which he thinks might
have been done, as the strange object
lived two days after being taken. The
schooner has been thronged all day by
curious visitors, who express much won
der and astonishment at the strange OBJ
ject. Mr.. Stanton, after visiting severa
ports and showing his queer creature
will donate it to the Smithsonian insti
tuition. The fish or mermaid is in
large six foot glass jar in alcohol.

To Aid the Pitcher.

A new rubber article, for which the
inventor claims much, is something to
aid a baseball pitcher in getting the
curve" 1t consists of fiat strip of
rubber with ring at one end and fiat
corrugation at the other. The ring is
slipped over the middle finger and the
corrugation rests against the ball. 1t is
claimed that when the ball is pitched the
rubber clings to it and sets it whirling,
thus giving it more of curve than the
finger tips can.--New York Commercial
