odd Methods Of an Evangelist.
The death Of Miller Willis. Az Caeoro

The death of Miller Willis, the Georgia
evangelist. revives many interesting
stories concerning his life and methods
He was certainly. the queerest character
that ever preached the Gospel at camp
meeting. at which places he was gen.

however, was Il model for all But about
his methods: He frequently stopped
strangers in the streets, and planting
himself in front of them would announce

sermon to his or her own liking.
For instance. he on one occasion
stopped stranger and shouted in his
ears This night thy soul shall be re-
quired of theei' Willis vanished. But
a year afterward he met the man in an
other city. Willis had forgotten him.
but the stranger knew his man. APP
preaching him he extended his hand and
said: THAT text you shouted out so
strangely to me on the streets of Mil
ledgeville set me to. thinking 1t was
the means of my conversion"
On another occasion, dark, rainy
night in winter, he passed crowded
hotel in the city of Charleston. Men
were lounging and smoking in the lobby
Willis opened the door, but the little
figure in dripping garments attracted no
attention Suddenly, after rapping loud
on the floor with his heavy stick, every
eye was turned toward him, when Willis
said There won't be man in this
house alive i'll fifty years from tonight!
And he slammed the door and went out
into the night.
Some time afterward he was APP
preached by a young man on street
car, who introduced himself by saying:
II have long desired to meet you and to
thank you for saying what you did in
the hotel lobby one winters night. Your
words have been ringing in my ears ever
since, and am now Christian man.

A Convenient Ring.

The following incident happened at
Oroville, CAL: 1t was handsome soil
taire, and she evidently desired the jew
eler to know that it was her engagemc~t
ring.
81 would like to have this ring cut
down to suit my finger" said the hand.
some heart smasher, as she fourished
the brilliant ring before the eyes of the
jeweler
The jeweler took the ring and smiled
he had seen it before.
II can fix that in minute" replied
he. Screwing magnifying glass in his
eye, and taking a small sharp pointed
instrument in his hand, he touched a
minute button on the inside of the ring
and made it the exact size, saying, as he
placed it on her finger. "You see these
rings are made in this manner for the
reason that they are WORT by so many
different people; it is a great conven-
ience."
The young lady sailed out of the store
burning with indignation, and the rea-
son she did not fly was because she didn t
have the wings. What did she think?
You know, and it is one necessary to
state that she did not wear the ring.
Another girl has it now, but this time
the jeweler was not permitted to touch
the button-the young man did it him
self.-Jewelers' Circular.

Jewellers that no more are merry;
Maids whose loves were empty anguish;
Lovers that for life must languish:
Patriots passionately choosing
All the old naughty hopes to bury:
Sculptor, painter, bard, musician
With unreached ideals Elysian-
These for Dreamlandl those for Dreamland!
Straight for Dreamland, BY the ferryi

Cloud that roseate and yet pearly
Haunts the dubious distance yonder-
Bound where blossoming sprays of cherry.

With a springtide pomp eternal!
Ho! for Dreamland. Height for Drcanland!
Halcyon Dreamland, by the ferry!

Francis Murphy Treats.

A short, thick set man, with silver
streaks in his hair and bushy mustache
stood in the rotunda of the Grand Pa
cific and talked earnestly to a group of
reporters that encircled him. Friends"
he said, sit is very warm. Let us go to
my room and have long drink" This
startled the young men, for the speaker
had never said such sweet words before
But recovering quickly they followed
the man to his room. He rang for a
bellboy, and when the messenger ar
rived the host said: Bring us four nice,
large sparkling glasses of ice water"
Then all was quiet. You could have
heard couple of pins drop, and each
reporter had different expression on
each side of his face. The host was
Francis Murphy, the famous temperance
lecturer.-Chicago Herald.

An Acrobatic Kitten.

A pet kitten follows its mistress all
over the house when she is at work. Re-
Gently she was in an attic chamber, the
blind of the window being shut but I'M
fastened. The playful kitten ran across
the room and leaped against the blind,
which opened, and the kitten disap-
peared, but came crawling back, having
turned in the air and caught the edge of
the gutter with its forepaws. 1t was a
feat of remarkable quickness and pres
ence of mind, as the little animal had a
very short time to recover from its sur
prise at being launched suddenly into
space. -Portland (Me.) Transcript.

deaf mute COW. She is 10 years old, of
Algava' breed. belongs to Russian no

ing that other cows below, she tries to
initiate them, stretching out her head
and opening her mouth, not, however,
producing the least semblance to a

Shed Her Nails Every June.

A Neapolitan physician has recently
described a wonderful case of hysteria
in one of his female patients. The case
has been prolonged and aggravated, the
popularity being in the fact that the
lady thus afflicted annually usually in
the month of June) sheds both finger and
toenails. This remarkable change is
preceded by a tingling sensation, espe-
cially in the thumbs and great toes, fol-
lowed with suppuration at the bed of the
nails. From the time of the first tin
Cling sensation at the root of the nails, a
week scarcely elapses before every nail
on toe and finger have been spontaneously
shed like the skin of snake or the shell
of a crab The learned M. d. attributes
this curious affection of the nails to a
disordered nerve function.-St. Louis

Indian Names.

A station not very far from Pitts
burg, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, has the good old English name of
Soho. In announcing it there is no OPP
portunity for the brakemen to disguise
the word, as he is too apt to do with the
names of other places.
AS train neared the town not long
ago the word was distinctly shouted,
and a passenger was heard to say to the
man sharing his seat:

The Retel Nut.

Betel nuts, the produce of the Areca
palm, are chiefly used as masticatery
by the native of the east. They are too
small to be applied to many ornamental
uses, but are occasionally employed by
the turner and wrought into different
kinds of fancy shaped beads for brace
lets, small rosary cases and other little
fancy articles. In the Museum of Eco
nomic Botany, at Kew, there is walk
ing stick made of these nuts, sliced,
mounted or supported on an iron center.

A DIPLOMATIC Yender.

Perhaps it is annoying to the street
vendors to have the small boys echo
their professional cry, and usually in a
hooking tone at that, but it should be a
distinct advantage to trade. Two heads
are better than one, even in crying,
"String beans! butter beans! green peas!
white cabbage" and so ON through the
list. One polite fellow used to go about
last summer calling, "To-may-toes to-

The Kew of Death.

About the year 1900 a stranger named
Tebaldo established himself as a mer-
chant in Venice. Soon becoming infatu-
ated with the daughter of one of the
most ancient and wealthy families he
asked her hand and was rejected, the
young lady being already affianced.
Half crazed and thoroughly enraged he
planned revenge. Being an excellent
mechanic he soon evolved most formi.
dable looking key. The handle of this
unique weapon could be easily turned
Being turned it disclosed spring with a
missile in the shape of needle of ex-
quisite fneness. With this weapon TIE.
baldo waited at the church door until
the maiden he loved passed in on the
morning of her marriage. When the
bridegroom appeared the desperate lover,
unperceived, sent the slender poisoned
needle into his rivals breast, and within
an hour he was dead of a strange, baf-
fling disease"
Again Tebaldo demanded the hand Of
the maiden. but was refused Within a
few days both her parents had died in
very mysterious manner. Suspicion
being excited, examination was made,
and the small steel instruments found
in the flesh in both cases. One day the
maiden allowed Tebaldo an audience,
but told him that she would never be
his bride. Within an hour she was a
corpse. Tebaldo was suspected, the key
discovered and the culprit hanged. The
celebrated key of death" is still shown
to the curious visitor of the Venice
museum.-St. Louis Republic.
