George Matthews, mechanic, had been
drinking hard for three months and was
trying to sober up. About two weeks ago,
while walking along Washington streev with
his wife, his voice was noticed to falter and
tremDle, and in few moments he couid
not articulate at all. He made number of
efforts to speak to his wife, and with each
failure seemed terribly excited, his form
trembling and the pall0r of death over
spreading his countenance. He was re-
moved to his residence and medical atten-
tion secured. but examination failed to

The physicians finally came to the conclu-

The Adventures of a Kite.

Here is story which, though bearing a
flavor of Baron Munchausen about it, is
strictly true. Some time last summe r.
while at Sea Isle City, son of George Fla
vile, the manufacturer, of Mil street, Ger
mantown, amused himself by flying a sun
kite. In some way the huge paper bird
finally got away from him and went out to

men noticed kite sailing toward them

upon examination, proved to be duck

of the captured kite tallies exactly with
that of the one lost ut Sea Isle City.-Phlla-

Wonderful Jananes. st.tr.

In the Japanese capital there is gigantic
image of a woman, made of wood and plas-
ter and dedicated to Hachiman, the god of
war. In height 1t measures 81 feet; the
head alone, which Is reached by a winding
stairway in the interior of the figure, being
large enough to comfortably hold twenty
persons. The figure holds huge wooden
sword in one hand, the blade being
q feet long, and ball II feet in
diameter in the other. Internally the model
is fitted up with extraordinary anatomical
arrange hent which is supposed to represent
the different portions Of the brain. A fine
view of the country is obtained by looking
throug. one OF the eyes of the figure. The
admission to all parts of the structure is 2
cents.
Japanese tradition says that during the
time Of the Te-Shomeng rebellion in 1922,
hundreds of cords of wood were piled
around 1t and fired, but that the sacred OBJ
ject itself failed to burn or to even be
scorched by the flames.-EX

How spurgeon Set Himself Right.

Mr.. Surgeons faculty for remembering
names and faces is well known, but some
times he makes slip, and the following
little anecdote shows his felicitous way of
setting himself right on such occasions.
Meeting recently young student whom he
had not seen for year he said: fright
glad to see you, Mr. Partridge" The student
was. of course, immensely gratifed to find
that the great divine remembered him, but
reminded the pastor that his name was not
Partridge but Partridge. "Oh, yes" quoth
Mr.. Sturgeon, :" must not make game of
you any more."-EX.

And frankly then the child spoke up
And told me all her fears.
Idrew her TO my side and said:
"you say you're fond OF me,

For then your love Iil see."
The little troubled face was flushed,
Then came the sweet words SOW,
As up In mine the brown eyes looked
Tear-bright and brave, I'm CO."
Ah. child! twas hard for you to do,
But sweetly was 1t done.
