Joseph Murphy, the Irish comedian,
is an enthusiastic angler, and never
misses an opportunity TO go on fish
ing trip.
One day he went out on fishing ex-
.cursion with friend who was full of
bright ideas in the angling line. AS
the two paused at an inviting spot and
prepared to cast, one of Murphy's
friends bright idea struck him. Pick
ing up one of pile of shingles lying
on the bank he tied a line around 1T,
put on q hook, which he baited with q
live frog, and threw it into the water.
The shingle foated on the surface OF
the water.
''Now, joe" said Murphy's friend,
''if a big fish bites he will try to go to
the bottom after he finds himself
hooked, and the shingles full broad
side will offer such resistance that he
will be held where he is. We can SET
a number of these lines and then &c
further along and fish for perch.
When we come back we will probably
find a big catch" This struck the
comedian as great idea, and they sci
out eighteen of these shingle lines be,
fore they left the spot. Then they
went along and had great luck catch
ing perch. But what do you suppose
we found when we returned to oul
traps2" Murphy asks. I'VE found oul
eighteen frogs calmly amusing them
selves on eighteen shingles. ."-ChicagC

HOW ONE SAFE WAS RfFLED.

The Treasurer Was so Positive That the
Detective Was BafEied.
1t is a mistake for a man to be too
positive. had a case put IN my hands
once the outcome of which left an i'm
preston on my mind.
The treasurer of the Hannibal and
st. Joseph railroad reported to us that
their safe had been robbed of large
package of money. Investigated the
case myself. In reply to every ques-
ton which 1 put to the treasurer he
would come back with one remark
that he put the money in the safe him
self, and that he locked the safe him
self the day before the money was
missed.
The safe was in good condition when
he opened it on the following morn
ing, everything being just as he had
left it the night before. He was GER
tain that he put the money in the safe.
He was certain that he locked the safe.
He opened the safe himself and the
money was gone. Everything about
the man tended to confirm his state
ments. He was an honest man; he
was accurate; he was careful; he had
no bad habits. He was we'll to do, and
there was not the slightest reason for
supposing that he could have used the
money. For moment the case was
at sea In few days / learned that
clerk in the Office had remained at
his desk after the departure from the
office of the man who knew that he
locked the safe. But 1 discovered that
the clerk did not have the combina-
ton, and again I was at sea. A few
weeks elapsed, during which time I
kept my eyes on every movement of
this clerk.
I saw enough to arouse my suspi-
cion. went to the office one morn
ing and took charge of the clerk. I
told him l was satisfied that he had
taken the money and that he need not
denyit. He broke down. He told me
that the officer who was SO positive
that he had locked the safe on the
evening in question had not done SO;
that he had gone away and left the
safe unlocked; that he, the clerk, knew
it was probably the first time; that he,
the clerk, took out the package of
money, closed the safe and locked it.
This he could do Notwithstanding the
fact that he couldn't open it. He
handed to me nearly the entire
amount.
The officer who was SO positive he
had locked the safe was dumfounded.
After that he was never sure of his
own name.-W. A. Pinkerton in Chr
cago Tribune.

Legends of the BOsphorus.

1t is not certainly known why the
Bosphorus, the channel which sepa-
rates Asia from Europe, is SO called.
Bous is Greek for OK or COW, and po-
ros, passage, making the word sig
nifty OK passage or COW ford. One le-
gend concerning the origin of the
name is that the Phrygians, desiring
to cross the channel, built vessel on
the prov of which was placed the
carved head of an OK, and hence called
the strait, from the wooden figure
head, the ox's passage, or bosporous.
Bosphorous seems to be a corruption
of the original word, which was spelt
without the ''h."
Another authority refers the origin
of the name to the story of 10, who,
after she had been transformed into a
COW, swan the strait to avoid her tor
mentor
Still another story tells US that the
Phrygians were directed by an oracle
to follow the route taken by an OK,
which, when started in his'capacity as
leader of an army, swan the strait,
which was ever after called the bos-
porous, or OK passage. Louis Re-

PROGRESS IN ART,
The Evolution of the Artistic Sense In the
Race-Religion's Part.

The Evolution of the Artistic Sense in the
Race-Religion's Part.
The history of the development of
the artistic sense in the race is quite as
surprising as that Of the evolution of
any other faculty or power, or of any
great movement that may have had
centuries for its elimination. The
student of art, commencing with prim-
tive forms as discovered ia che re-
mains of Oriental cities, and passing
through the cultured period of Greece
to the dominancy of medieval i'm
agery and ON to the present time, will
be struck with the advantages of each
succeeding period, and the complete
triumph of taste in our latest civiliza.
tions.
Primitive art in Egypt, Assyria and
Phoenicia, with its grotesque images
and incongruous ideas of beauty,
served to excite the fears Of the people,
developing all the superstition of
which they were capable, and thus be-
came the source, not of moral educa-
ton but of degradation and oppression
of the intellectual life.
Religion was not the mother of SUI
perstitious art, for the latter really
preceded the former, and became the
mother of the superstitiOus symbols OF
religion. In this way the Rsthetioal
principle, unframed and without sub
jective strength, ran to objective
forms that discredited it, and really
perverted the religious principle itself.
With the development of refined
aesthetics among the Greeks religion
had another chance of expressing it
self, but while primitive art tinctured
religion with superstition, Grecian art
corrupted it, and in time eXtinguished
it's open manifestation. AS neither
the one nor the other in any way as
sisted in the publication of religion or
the assertion of its teachings, Christi
anity finally appropriated it, and has
both borrowed from it its entertaining
power and conferred upon it its ap-
proval and benedictlon.
At the present time art stands alone
it is not the handmade of religion, nor
it is to civilization. In this isolated
condition it may be better viewed and
estimated than when vitality related to
a particular religion or a particular
form of civilization. 1t is now in bon
dage to nothing, but is seeking a chan
mel of its own, form and an express
sion that must distinguish it from all
associated developments of the art life
in man. Free from the direction OF
religion it is not particularly directing
or aiding religion, but is developing
itself in spontaneous forms according
to its constitutional vigor, and with
reference to no ends but art itself, ex.
cept the great end of all conserving
forces-the education of the race.
Art is not for religion, but for itself,
and to be judged by what it is in it
SELF unrelated to other things. Thus
its perfection, or imperfection, will be
determined, not by its relation to re-
ligion, but by its own potencies and
| the ends it serves in human societ
