The old Creeds and the New.

An unecclesiastical and broad minded
clergyman whom we will call Smith
was walking down Broadway in com
pany with friend whom we will call
Jones. Pretty soon they met an ac-
quaintance of Jones, who presented his
clerical companion in these words: Let
me introduce you to my friend the Rev.
Mr. Smith, who, as you may infer,
makes divinity his speciality" Par
don me for making correction" " said
Mr. Smith laughing, ''but if l make q
speciality of anything it is humanity
rather than divinity" This answer
shows the very marked line of cleavage
between the old and the new school of
clergymen The former thought so
much of the attributes of God that they
had little time to think of man; while
the latter pay so much attention to man
that they have little room in their sys-
TEN for abstract speculations about
God.-New York Tribune.

1t is now considered probable that
the Hotel des Invafides, which has so
long sheltered the old soldiers of the
French army who have lost limbs in
the wars, will at no distant date be
used for other purposes. The offices of
the military governor of Paris have al
ready been transferred thither, and it
is proposed to give the antique pen
sioners who still inhabit the building
increased pay and another place of
refuge. In any case, the number of
decrepit warriors now in residence is
small, and unless war breaks out there
will be no successors for them in the
French Chelsea hospital. There are
now 226 pensioners-nearly all very old
and m-accommodated in the Ho-
tel des Invalides.
Under the First empire there were at
one time $4,000, but this number con-
tinued to diminish even after the peri
ods of the Crimean and italian cam
paigns. After the FrancoPrussian war
of 1870 700 soldiers were admitted to
the Invalides, which in year or two
will in all probability be wrongly
named, inasmuch as it is intended to
make it very active and bustling mill
tary center. Many, however, will re-
gret the change, for there was always
something picturesque and historic
about the old pensioners and their
weekly parade for the military mass in
the church containing the tomb of the
First Napoleon was one of the sights OF
Paris.-Paris Cor London Telegraph.

Food Value of Fresh Fruit.

We do not attach to fresh fruit the
food value it actually bears: for in
stance, bananas. A keen social analyst
has said that the habits and obligations
of civilized life are purely question OF
geography, and the uses of food are SC
absolutely. In that wonderful record
of perils and triumphs, 'In Darkest
Africa" Stanley cites among his chief
resources against starvation bananas,
pIantains and n large variety of pine
apple. From days too painfully near
starvation, when two bananas daily
was all the food he could allow him
self, to that time of plenty when the
foragers brought in four tons, the sole
nutriment was bananas and plantains-
with what cries of joy these wild chill
dren of nature flung themselves upon
the fruit and kindled fires to roast and
boil and bake " If the reader would
know the possibilities of this admirable
fruit let her try thick slices dipped in
butter, salt and pepper and broiled, or
Dreaded and fried, or baked, or made
into fritters Even boiled plain they
are as good in their way as boiled to-
matoes. = Juliet COrson in Chicago

from the holy land to inform her
majesty of an interesting and unique
incident in connection with the visit
of the English pilgrims to Pales-
tine On st. Georges day, for the
first time since the age of the Cru
sades, Pontifical high mass was sung
at the silver altar in front of the
Holy Sepulcher by an English prelate,
the Hon. and Right Rev. William Cliff
ford, bishop of Clifton, and his lc>ls
ship also preached, after which the
anthem, ''Domine Salvam fac Regi-
nam Nostram"-in other words, God
Save the Queen"-was sung by the
pilgrims. This was the first instance
that the queen or other British sover-
eign had been publicly prayed for in
that place probably since the time of
Richard Ceur-de-Lion, and certainly
the first since the Reformation.-Ex-

THE oHosTLY TOLL KEEPER.
A Phantom That Frightens Travellers ON
the Old National Pike

A PhantOm Ihat tfIghtenS Travellers on
the Old National Pike.
There was a good deal of excitement
recently over in Belmont county, o.,
along that portion of the old National
pike extending some four or five miles
eastward from st. Clairsville, over the
appearance of an apparition of old Toll
keeper Feltus, who presided at tle first
| gate east of st. Clairsville for nearly a
generation, but who died some five.
years ago, since which time the old toll
house has been allowed to fall into
ruins. Uly Smith, travelling sales
man, and Henry Johnson, his colored
driver, had thrilling experience with
the ghost about IL :3Goclock one morn
ing, the details of which were related
by both gentlemen. They were return
ing in one of the delivery wagons from
a late trip to st. Clairsville, and when
nearly opposite the spot where the toll
house stood the attention of both me-
was attracted To an object ON the laE'
hand side of the road.
'What's that?" asked Mr.. Smith.
Its a man." said johnson, whose
eyes were little sharper
ooh, | see; it's the tollkeeper," said
Smith, who had not been over the
road for half a dozen years, and there
fore did not know that Feltus, whom
he knew quite well, was dead.
Just at this point the off horse ran
right over the figure, which, however,
was not in the least disturbed, and
promptly reappeared at the front wheel
of the wagon, standing erect, in Eel
tus' characteristic attitude, with one
arm outstretched to receive the toll.
Mr.. Smith said, in explaining what
transpired: II asked him what he was
doing out at such late hour as Henry
had pulled up the horses, but he gave
me no answer The figure just stood
there holding out his hand as old man
Feltus used to do, and was as conf
dent as l was talking to him as 1 am to
you this minute. As the rain was pour
ing down in torrents | asked him why
he didn't have a light and not keep us
waiting There was no answer still.
| asked him how much the fare
was, that [ might have enough change,
and as he still made no answer l told
Henry we didn't have time to waste
there in the rain and to drive on. This
aroused Henry, who had his whip aloft,
but was paralyzed at the apparition of
the old man, whom he knew to be
dead, and he drove away only too rap
idly, with his hat standing up off his
head
''When I discovered the state of
affairs felt about as scary as Henry
did, and do not care to have another
such experience. 1t is a strange case,
and | cannot account for it at all.''
johnson was as confident as Mr.
Smith that he saw the ghost of the old
man, and he wouldn't put the horses
away by himself, he was so scared

An Albany boarding house keeper
thought bank officials were slippery
and safe deposit vaults unsafe, SO she
put all her savings, 800, in the knotted
corner of a handkerchief she usually
carried about with her A few days
later she left her house for an hour
without taking her precious handker-
chief, which, it is almost needless to
say, has not been seen since. How
ever, she finds consolation in thinking

o grandly flowing riverl
o silver gliding river!
Thy springing willows shiver
In the sunset rs of old;
They shiver in the silence
OF the willow whitened islands,
While the sun bars and the sand bars
Fill the air and wave with gold.
o gay, oblivious river!
o sunset kindled river!
Do you remember ever
The eyes and skies so blue
On summer day that shone here
When we were all alone here,
And the blue eyes were too wise
To speak the love they knew?
o stern, impassive riverl
o still unanswering river!
The shivering willows quiver
As the night winds moan and rave.
From the past voice is calling,
From heaven star is falling,
And dew swellS in the bluebells
Above her hillside grave.
