The Way That . Colored Man Wanted e
Work tho sEIlen En-"
An excursion from Birmingham to
Montgomery was run the other day,
says the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Her-
aid. A negro man appeared at the
ticket Office in the depot and purchased
ticket for himself. Then he said to
the ticket agent:
BOSS, l want mother round trip
'scursion ticket for a corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in aston
ishment. An excursion ticket for a
corpse was something new to him, even
with his varied experience.
The negro explained: "You see, boss,
my brudder died yesterd ay and 1 want
ter take de corpse down to Montgom-
cry and let de family view the mains,
and den bring 'em back to Birning-
ham an bury 'em. Dis will be heap
cheaper den fur de family to cum up
here"
The agent saw at once that this was
a great stroke of economy and enter
prise on the part of the negro. There
were probably a dozen members Of the
family, and tickets for them to Bir-
mipgham and board while there would
be quite expensive. the corpse could
get the benefit of excursion rates to
Montgomery and would pay no board
while there. Thus the negro subserved
the ends of economy and preserved his
respect for the grief of the family at
the same time.

NATURE AS A SCULPTRESS.

How She Carves the Faces of Rocks Till
They Look Like Art Works.
Among the hills and valleys of Wales
and the lake district are to be found
many specimens of natures statuary.
In Dwygyfylchi glen, North Wales, is
to be seen rock with profile not I'M
like that of her majesty the queen. 1t
is in secluded part of that picturesque
glen, and many visitors fail to notice
it. In Borrowdale, Cumberland, there
is granite bowlder, which has soft,
artistic profile. 1t stands alone on a
hillside covered with beautiful verdure.
Seathwaite valley also possesses a
rocky face, but this is Of sterner type.
It is the profile of a woman Of strong
will and strong mind.
One of the most perfect faces to be
found on the rocks of the Irish coast is
to be found in the vicinity of the
Giants causeway. Two miles from
Portrush are some huge cliffs of lime
stone, which have been cut into fantas-
tic shapes by the action of the sea. On
one OF these white cliffs the sea has
sculptured q stril1ingly human face.
The outline is rendered more conspicu-
Gus by the whiteness of the rock out of
which the natural action of the At
lantic has fashioned it.
Of different color are the faces on
the sandstone rocks at Dawlish. On
one of the cliffs of that picturesque
watering place are two sharply limned
faces which the sea has cut in the red
sandstone. They stand one above the
other, and for this reason have been
designated the "Parson and Clerk
Rocks" The ''Parson' sits on the top
of the rock and looks benignly down
on all that passes below. Underneath
him, and looking less happy and con-
tented. is the "Clerk," whose head is
covered with short-cropped vegetation
resembling hair. AS Sinbad was doomed
to carry the Old Man of the Sea on his
back, so the ''Clerk" is everlastingly
doomed to hold up his ecclesiastical
superior. The expression on his face is
a doleful protest against the fate which
compels him forever to carry the "Par-
son" on his head. To find the faces on
these rocks visitors should take a boat
and sail near the cliffs. Then the faces
will be seen to stand out with startling
istinctness.-Million.

sive Young Business Woman?
One hears and reads much about the

Their Own Property.

Henry Wolff, in THE Country of the
Vosges." says that the people of the
little village of Rufach have a very
common-sense notion of keeping their
own good things entirely to them
selves-even such as elsewhere one
would prefer to see used by ones
neighbors. Thus, for instance. when
they had set up brand-new gallows OF
good seasoned lakewood on one of the
finest hilltops in the neighborhood, as
is the custom in Germany, and an ad-
joining parish begged to be allowed to
hang one of its malefactors upon it. il
is on record that the Rufachers In
dignantly denied them, protesting:
"This gallows is for ourselves only, and
for our children"

cried out the other day that the applica-

was shameful" and "scandalous. The
Irish members reminded them of what
they did in 1887, and Gladstone told
them that he was not the author Of the
gag law. It was an invention of their
own and was vigorously applied by them
while they were in the majority. The

DIR. LANerRY, Of Toronto, rejects Pres
byterianism for three reasons. The first
is that it has revolutionized the historic
church and defeated the Reformation;
the second is because it supplied the
first instance of man-made church; and
the third reason why he rejects it is be-
cause OF philosophical fatalism OF it's
doctrines. Predestination, as taught by
Calvin and Knox, directly oontradicts
the scriptural statements, and that Ged
foreordained some to be saved and others
to be damned dishonors Him and con-
tributes greatly to the urbelief OF the
world by. presenting such q picture OF
the Creator. Even il the odious doctrine
were dropped, Presbyterianism would
be injured, for without Calvanism it
would be very much like pail without

+ CHARLEs EMORY SMITH, ex-Minister to
Russia, recently lectured in Philadelphia
on the Greek church. He said that in
Russia they have white clergy and a
black clergy, the latter being monks and
.celibates, while the former ara required
to marry. The white clergy predomin-
ate, and it is from the black clergy that
all the high prelates are chosen. The
white clergy are not allowed to exercise
any choice as to their wives. The selec-
ton is made by a bishop. who chooses
the widow or daughter of another priest.
All the priests sons must become priests,
and the only possible method of escape
is by entering the army.
