The HISTORIANS, Il small cor-muui,v
of Christians established in Asia Minor.
in the environs of Mossul, have agreed.
says the Lcvant Herald, to embrace
Catholicism and join the Chadcans.
The HISTORIANS and Chaldcans belong
to the same race The patriarch Mar
Shinoun is the head of the Ncstorian
church. Ills grace Mgr Ella is the
spiritual chief of Che Catholic Chal-
deans, who speak the same language
rs the HISTORIANS. For long time
past an active correspondence had been
going on between the two patriarch:,,
Mar Shimoun, residing ut Djouluncrg
and Mgr. Ella at Mossul. The question
was fully discussed in these letters of
the union of the two communities
which have almost the same religious
rites and, as said before arc of the same
race and speak the same language. The
result of this exchange of opinions has
been to establish Il basis of understands
ing for the union, which is to be effect
cd under the following conditions: Mar
Shimoun, the HISTORIAN patriarch, and
his flock embrace Catholicism; the
prclate will continue for the remainder
of his life to exercise his spiritual
authority over the HISTORIANS, under
the jurisdiction of Mgr. Ella. Upon
his death no other HISTORIAN patri-
arch will be nominated, the re-
ligious affairs of the community
being administered by Il vicar appointed
by Mgr. Ella or his successors. The
vicar will be helped in his task by n
council composed of notabilities of the
HISTORIAN community and he will be
directly responsible to Mgr. Ella and
his successors. This agreement has
been accepted by the two patriarchs
and the respective communities. The
two prclatcs were to have an interview
on the 27th ult. at Bcssilla, n village
situated between Mossul and Djouln-

litions of the reunion

a Story About the ransy.

A pretty fable about the pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. The flower has five petals and
five sepals. In most pansics, especially
of the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have single scpal, two of
the gay petals have q scpal each. and
the third, which is the largest of all,
has two sepals. The fable is that the
pansy represents q family, consisting of
husband, wife and four daughters. two
of the latter being stcp-childrcn of the
wife, with only one chair; the two small
gay petals are the daughters with Il
chair each, and the large gay petal is
the wife, with two chairs. To fini TIN
father one must strip away the petal

mo story of the American trottinr
horse is one of intense interest to the
public for he is peculiarly an American
institution. BY way of preliminary
may snyt hat he is a descendant oriyi-
nally from Il cross of the old English
Norfolk trotter family with the thor
oughbrcd. Imported Messenger is the
founder of the family in America and
ne was an animal born with the trot-
ting instinct developed to an almost alb
normal degree. And almost every trot-
ting horse in America to-day traces back
directly to him. The family was then
improved by the importation of Bell

trotter, with Il record, 80 tradition has

In conformation, the trottcr is one of
more substance, of more bone and per-

somewhat of the form of what is now
known as the hackney, and in reality
the trottcr must be regarded as an in
tcrmediatc step between the thorough
bred and the hackney. The highest
type OF the trotter has knee action be-
tween the stiff-kneed action of the
thoroughbred trottcr, when on a trot-

He Looked Shabby. But Nothing Was
Too Good for His Little Gal"
He was a very shabby person indeed
His clothes were Of that much-worn
character that prccludes any attempt at
description. He had cotton in his ears
and lie wore most disrcputable hat,
yet there he was in one of our large dry
goods stores as much out of place as Il
stollcr in drawing-room.
No one PAID any attention to him,
everyone having come to the conclu-
sion evidently that he was workman
or some porter looking for job any
thing, i'll fact, but Il purchaser.
At last, after he had fidgctcd about for
some time, he started of toward the
cloak department and presently came
back in company with an obsequious
iloorwall;cr. who snapped his fingers
and called out:
SHOW this gentleman your finest
scalslsn wraps"
Everyone looked in astonishmcnt at
the sccdy figure and one yorng woman
had thc grace TO remark:
Excuse me, sir, | thought YOU were
looking for Il cloth garment"
NO, miss, scalskin amt good enough
