His English Betrayed Him.

The following story is told in Eng
land of Rev. John Sheepshanks, who
was recently made bishop Of Norwich:
One evening a young Cambridge man,
afterward head master of a well-known
grammar school, but tutor for the
nonce to a Russian prince, was smOk-
ing a cigarette in his rooms in st. Pc
tersburg when a servant announced
that a moujik wanted to see him very
urgently. The unknown visitor was
shown up and appeared in the well
worn garb from which Brian O'Lynn
derived his simple but practical sar-
torial notions. To his hosts utter be-
wilderment this uncouth being ad-
dressed him in refined English, and
presently explained that he was a
brother Contab DESTROYS of securing
his good offices. The man, in short,
was Rev. John Sheepshanks, who, hav-
ing landed some six months before
near the mouth of the Amoor river,
had made his way alone and on foot

A Disastrous Mistake.

My grandmother had an old negro
named Charles, writes a Texas CORE
%spondent. Though very old he could
make the evenest of hills and the
s~traightest of rows in the garden,
which he kept as clean as a parlor.
"Uncle Charles, how can you get the
hills all of the same size and SO straight
in the row?'' asked the children.
wal" replied he, "w'en l sees whar
I wants de hills l jes' puts my foot
right dar; den l pulls de dirt up on it
twell hits kivered."
One day the children heard a scream
in the garden. When they got there
they found hat Uncle Charles had cut
his big toe nearly off. After it was
dressed they asked him how the acct
dent had happened.
BLAINE dat toe, onyhow," exclaimed
he, vivid hits black back an yaller
bottom. Use allus' takin' it fur some
kline NV a varmint! Jes' now l tort hit
wuz err tarapin's head er peepin' outer
de hill, an l blazed erway wild my hoe
to chop it off"

A BRIDGE OF a

A Fortified Tree Spans"a Chasm in Far
Away Arizona.
A mining expert SEN to investigate
some Arizona properties for Denver
capitalists recently returned and re-
ports the finding of a most remarka-
BILE natural bridge formed by a tree of
agatized wood spanning a canyon
fOrty-five feet in width, says the Jew
eler's Circular.
The tree had at some remote time
fallen when it became imbedded in
the silt of some great inland sea or
mighty water overflow.
The silt became in time sandstone,
and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization
until it is now a wonderful tree of
solid agate.
In after years water washed and ate
f~orty-fve feet in width has been
formed, the fiinty like substance of
the agatized wood having resisted the
erosion of the waterfiow.
Fully fifty feet Of the tree rests on
one side and a be traced, but how
far it's other end lies buried in the
sandstone cannot be determined with
out blasting away the rock.
The trunk visible above the canyon
varies in size from four feet to three
feet in diameter. Where the bark has
been broken and torn away the charac-
t~eristic colors of jasper and agate are
seen. To the naked eye the wood is
beautiful.
Under a microscope Or miners mag
nifying glass the brilliancy of the col
orings are clearly brought out in all
their wondrous beauty.

K No Chances.

Among the strange superstltlons
that affect the southern negroes is a
belief that it is dangerous to approach
closely to or stay long near a dead
body. A colored servant in Washing
ton who went to a funeral was asked
on her return if she saw the corpse.
She replied: Deed, honey, d'you s'pose
I'd 60 near enough &c take dat dead
mans breff?"
