A Brave Priaat.

liable Mouly, the only priest who re-
ceived the decoration of the Legion OF
Honor on the occasion of July IA, will GER
tainly not be Rrudged the distinction con-
ferred upon him even by the most hard
ened enemy of the church. He is, in fact,
one of those heroic, self sacrificing work
ers who in every nation and every cline
earn the unbounded admiration and re-
spect of their fellow creatures. Liable
Mouly, who is now in his fifty-fourth year,
served for a long period as military chap
lain in various French possessions The
worthy priest was acting in this capacity
at Guadeloupe during the Mexican cam
paign, and all the French transports
touched there on their way home from the
seat of war.
A terrible epidemic of yellow fever broke
out among the garrison of 800 men, as
many as twenty-five and thirty deaths oc-
curing daily. All the doctors and the
Sisters of Mercy were carried off by the
pestilence, and for three weeks the heroic
priest was alone in ministering to the sick.
In consequence of his meritorious conduct
the able was recommended for the Legion
Of Honor, but his nomination was pre-
vented by the events of 1870. While at
Guadeloupe he also distinguished himself
by building on the lilo des Saintes, assisted
only by few convicts, chapel surmount-
ed by lighthouse, which enables vessels
to pass through a dangerous rocky chan.
mel in perfect safety.
The able, who has waited so long for the
well merited recognition of his services,
has for ten years past occupied the post of
chaplain to the National Lunatic asylum
of Clarendon. Telegraph.

Who ever heard of church being flooded
with honey The very idea sounds ridicu-
lous, and In any other place than Califor-
MIA would excite only smile of incredu-
lily. We have all heard about places that
"fowed with milk and honey" and meta
phorical references to the "droppings Of
the sanctuary" are familiar, but it has re-
manned for a swarm of bees to make literal
facts of these familiar metaphors.
1t appears that a lot of vagrant bees,
while in search of a suitable home, found
an admirable location in the loft of an
Episcopalian church In Tulare county.
Here, having an abundance of space, they
increased and multiplied, and at the same
time laid in a large store of honey. Great
white combs were attached to the rafters
overhead, and were built downward and
added to until hundreds of pounds of
sweetness were hidden awayin the delicate
white waxen cells.
One contingency, however, was not pro-
vided against and, indeed, was not ex-
pected The normal temperature in the
contracted proportions of the loft was of a
character admirably suited for the best ad
vantage of the bees, and had that tempera-
ture continued this story would never have
been written.
1t is almost unnecessary to remind read
ers that a week or two ago California was
visited with something bearing a remark
able likeness to a sirocco. In a word, it
was hot--deucedly hot
In the loft of the church, where the bees
were holding high carnival, the tempera.
ture rose and rose until it reached the
melting point Wax gave way beneath the
torrid heat, and now, down the rafters,
along the scantlings, over the laths and
down the joists began to flow streams of
liquid sweetness. They found crevices
here and there, and soon altar, pulpit,
chancel, furniture, prayer books and all
the belongings of the interior of the sacred
edihce were treated to such a deluge as the
world had never seen.
Efforts were made to stay the sticky tide,
but these were only partially successful,
and before anything could be done the in
terror of the church was a sight to behold,
and damage had been done that required
expense and hard work to remedy.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

pabv,s Foot IL Like a NIonkev,s.


"How many people have ever taken no
tice of baby's foot, except to admire its
pinkness and prettinessY said a well
known scientist. "And yet to the anato-
mist 1t is a revelation. Take, for exam
pie, the tootsies of child of ten months
that has never walked nor stood alone. 1t
has power of grasping to some extent
ard is used instinctively like hand. The
great toe has certain independent work
ing, like a thumb, and the wrinkles Of the
sole resemble those Of the palm. These
markings almost entirely disappear after
the pedal extremity has come to be en-
ployed for purposes of support and loco
motion.
1.-THE hands and feet of human being
are strikingly like those of the chimpan-
zee IN conformation, while the gorilla's
resemblance to man in these respects is
even more remarkable. The higher apes
have been classified as 'quadrumana,' or
four handed because their hind feet are
hand shaped; but this designation is very
improperly applied, because the apes pos,
terror extremities are not really hands at
all. They merely look like hands at the
first glance, whereas in fact they are but
feet adapted for climbing. The big toes
cannot be opposed to the other toes as
thumbs are to the fingers, but simply act
pincerwise for the purpose of grasping.
Now, funnily enough, the Infants feet
have this same power of grasping pincer
fashion, and the action is performed in
precisely the same way. Advocates of evo
lutionary theories take this to signify that
the human foot was originally utilized for
climbing trees also before the species was
so highly developed as it is now. Also they
assert that the fact that the art of walking
erect is learned by the child with such diff
ficulty proves that the race has only &C.
quired it recently. Washington Star.
