The bashful boarder met with a
shock the other night that has kept
his hair in an involuntary pompa-
dour ever since. One of the pretty
young lady boarders is nurse, and
a carriage was to. come for her at
midnight to take her to suddenly
developed ease" She was waiting
at the foot of the stairs for the car
riage, and in the darkness of the hall
fell into doze, from which she was
awakened by step on the stone
stoop and some one fumbling at the
knob She seized her little sachel,
ran to the door and threw it open,
stepping out with a silvery, Here
am" into the arms of the bashful
boarder. Everything was satisfac-
torily explained of course, but even
now, when their eyes meet accident
ally across the table, he puts catchup
ON his pie, and she buffers her tea
biscuit with the sugar spoon. And
the other boarders, who haven't
heard the story at all, look at each
other and think they know more
than the whole Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica. ."-Hartford Post.

Knew 1t Was n Big Tooth.

A man prominent i'll these two cit
les has history. Some years age
he suffered with the toothache. He
suffered SO much that at last he de
termined to have the tooth pulled
and he did. But the pain of it was
so great that it caused him to re
solve that never again would he
have tooth pulled. He kept this
resolve for four years. The other
day he had the toothache and suf
fered SO much that some of his
friends got him to have the tooth
pulled.
Ec went to a dentist, whom he well
knew, who had jolleG him some about
his resolve to steer clear OF dentists
He took Saa and woke up with the
tootA gone. He had paid the dentist
and got on his wraps, and was going
through the Goor when he happened
to think of Tho tooth.
Say, III like to look at that tooth, u
he said.
"Well, now, I'd been thinking OF
that, and | washed the blood off it.
Here it is The dentist had pre-
served for years an ancient horses
tooth as a curiosity, and it was this
that he took from a drawer and
showed the Lewiston man.
Il knew that it was as large as
that, said the sufferer with salts

The body of a Roman governor
after he had committed suicide at
Rome I'm disgrace, was thrown first
of all into the Tiber, but was after
ward removed thence on account Of
the storms which ragged round that
river. IL was next sent to Gaul,
where, at Vienna, 1t was consigned
to the Rhone. Later on. having
been once more transported--this
time to the Lake of Geneva-it was
finally deposited in the little tarn on
the side Of the well known mountain
near Lucerne, which to this hour
bears his i'll omened name.
Even here the perturbed spirit
broke loose, dealing havoc and de
struction to the neighborhood, aud to
total up this long roll of superstition
the wrath was one day encountered
by a traveller, and an agreement
was then and there entered into be-
tween them that the former was to
give itself rest forever, with the
stipulation expressly provided that
it might break loose from its prison
house on one day in each year-Good
F'riday-when the spirit, clothed in
the red robe Of office, henceforward
sat annually on a rock above the
lake, and whoever saw it died before
the year had run out. The Lucerne
magistracy prohibited all approach
to the tain, and in 1857 several adj
venturers were put into Jail for dis
obedience of this order.
Later, in 1918, permission was
granted to four men of science to
approach this accursed piece of wa

Old American wars,lips.

It would be well if we in America
could catch enough of the spirit of
tho protest which has resulted in the
rescue by a private English syndicate
of Nelson's flagship to secure the
proper preservation of our own his
toric vessels. Most of those which
would have been our chief pride
have already been destroyed But
there remain in the navy four ships
that possess a true historic interest.
The old Constitution is the receiving
ship at Portsmouth, N. H. She was
saved from destruction some years
ago by the protest of DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes and others. But for
their agitation she would have been
broken up.
The Constellation is now the prac-
tice ship at the Naval academy, An
napolis, but with the completion Of
the new ship Bancroft in the coming
spring, she probably will go out of
commission and may be sold for
junk, for there is no special provision
for her maintenance or repair Ought
she not to be saved as an object les
son to school children and tangible
memorial of our old navy? 1t is
gratifying to know that the Kear-
sarge and the Hartford are protected
by special acts Of congress, which
provide that these two ships shall
not be sold, but shall be kept in re-
pair even if the cost should exceed
the 90 per cent. limit fixed as the
maximum that may be allowed for
the repair of wooden ships. Review

The ghost that for years has haunted
the Oceanic hotel and raised the hair OF
the people of West Brighton has been
trapped. Since the close of the season
the huge building has been inhabited
only by John Delaney, milk dealer,
and the family of one of his employees.
The other day the milkman heard foot
falls and groaning from the upper floor
of the deserted building. Cautiously
creeping up stairs, he captured the ghost
in the act of groaning.
The groans were produced by nothing
more supernatural than the limb Of a
huge willow tree in juxtaposition with a
window blind, the rusty hinges Of which
gave out doleful sounds with every gust
of wind. The tapping of the loose shut
ter produced a very good imitation Of a
footstep. Cor. New York SIM

THE HISTORIAN 4eaesy.
An independent Sect IN Asia MINOR n
etttuea H.eonelfod.

An independent sect In Asia MINOR no
comes Reconciicd.
The HISTORIANS, asmall community
of Christians established in Asia
J Minor, in the euviions of Mosstil.
have agreed to embrace Catholicism
and join the Chald,ans. The Nestori-
ans and Chaldeans belong TO the same
race. The Patriarch Mar Shimoun is
the bead Of the HISTORIAN church.
His grace Mgr Ella Is the spiritual
clIief Of the Catholic Cbaldeans, who
speak the same language as the Mes
torians. For a long time past an
active correspondence had been going
on between the two patriarchs, Mar
Shimoun, residing at Djoulamerg.
and Mgr. Ella at Mossu1.
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 be-
fore, are of the same race and speak
the same language. The result Of
this exchange of opinions has been to
establish a basis of understanding for
the union, which is to be effected un-
der the following conditions Mar
Shimoun, the HISTORIAN patriarch.
al44 his flock embrace Catholicism; {;
the preicte will continue for the re-
maindor Of his life to exercise his
spiritual authority over the Nesto-
rians, under the jurisdiction of Mgr.
Ella. Upon his death no other Mes
torian patriarch will be nominated,
the religious affairs of tho colnmuni-
ty being administered by a vicar ap-
pointed by Mgr. Ella or his success
sors.
The vicar will be helped in his
tasks by council composed of nota-
biiities 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 prelates were
to have an interview at Bessika, a
village situated between Mossul and
Djoulamerg, in order to fix upon the
final conditions of the reunion.
The HISTORIAN heresy dates from
the Fifth century. Its author or
chief supporter, Nestorius, was bish
op OF Constantinople from 42S to 431.
The heresy, which is based upon the
distinction between the divine and
the human nature of Christ, consists
in denying that the Virgin Mary was
the mother of God. This doctrine
was condemned by the third general
council, held in Ephesus in 431, and
Nestorius was deposed from his bish
opric and subsequently banished.
Applications for help and instruc-
ton were made by the HISTORIANS to
the laCe Archbishop TAFT, and the
present Archbishop of Canterbury
sent mission in 1856 to eXpound the
doctrines and ritual of the estab
lished church. 1t would seem, how
ever, that they prefer those of Rome.

Tho Great Shereef of yvazan.

Almost every one acquainted with
Tangier will have heard of, or prob
ably seen, Sid ell Hadj Abdesalam,
the great shereef of Wazan. His
love for the sea, together with the
fact that he is not altogether averse
to some of our European comforts
and luxuries, led him to buy a house
in Tangier and country place few
miles outside and there to settle. He
is now man over sixty years Old,
almost q negro in color-his mother
was black woman-but with pro
nounced Arab features, courteous
and hospitable, always ready to listen
to the complaints and hear the wrongs
of poor people, and often able to re-
dress them.
Among Europeans he is of little
account. Prejudice as to his being a
native and very natural repug-
nance to some of the traits of his
character have prevented any great
amount Of intercourse between the
Europeans and the shereef, and in
spite of the fact that he married an
English wife he has never been a
success, and it is only in semiof
fetal character-and even then ex-
tremely rare-that he is ever seen in
society. To those who know him he
is always kind, and though one can
not admire his character one cannot
help being struck by his courteous
and kindly demeanor. -Blackwoods

A QUEER little JAY
Who Astounded the Passengers In n street
Car by Ills DIsplsy Of Money.

Who Astounded the passengcfs IN y street
Car by His display Of Money.
A small man, undoubtedly from
the country, with short red whisk'
ers, amused a carload Of passengers
! on Third avenue l. train the other
afternoon. He got aboard at Thirty
fourth street and sat down in the
only empty seat. He glanced up and
down the car as If he was looking
for some one, and, after having sat
isfied himself that he was not no
ticed, put his hand into his inside
overcoat pocket and pulled out a
newspaper, 1t was folded together
fully ten times, and after some diff
Guilty he opened the package and the
passengers we're astonished to see q
bundle Of bills. The man united the
string and began counting his mon
ey. There were several 800 notes,
and the others were $40 and e5 bills.
After counting the pile he gave a
grunt, rs if satisfied that he had not
lost any, and returned the package
to the same pocket again.
The man was poorly dressed, had
on very dirty flannel shirt and his
hat was mended at the crown. AL
though surprised the passengers soon
settled back in their seats. When
lol the little man had taken out a
long piece Of cloth from another
pocket, and again did he display a
pile of greenbacks of twenty and ten
dollar denominations Another grunt
followed, and again was the pacl1ag
put back to its place. By this time
the passengers began to get iidgety.
A policeman seated near the little
man was watching the proceeding,
and several expected that the small
passenger would be scooped in by the
officer. The little man again brought
out the same two packages and
counted over his bills, and in addi
ton brought forth well worn
pocketbook from his vest pocket,
which was also filled with one and
two dollar bills. He placed the three
bundles in his top coat pocket before
counting them again.
The little man stood up as if to
leave the car, but changed his mind
and gazed out of the window, al
though still standing. He then be
gan shaking his coat to make sure
that he would not drop any of his
precious bundles, but was soon on
his knees looking under the seat for
fear that he had been careless and
dropped some Of his money. The
queer passenger sat down, but on
the very edge of the seat, and kept
eyeing the men seated next to him
on each side. Again were the pas
sengers surprised to see the little
man bring forth huge wad of bills
tied up in brown paper. 1t was then
that the seedy Croesus got in his best
work. He paced up and down the
car several times, but only to return
to his seat and take several hand
fuls Of greenbacks from his hat.
They were stuck to the inside of the
brim and were filthy looking.
He counted his packages time and
again, and when the train reached
city hall the little man waited until
the other passengers had left the car
before he followed in their wake,
but after reaching the platform he
once more entered the car and
searched under the seat. After reach
ing the sidewalk he ran as if for dear
life past The Sun Office, and contin-
ued SO down Nassau street. New
