Abrall Ark.

Abraham Martin, an old colored man
living in Atchison, Kan, believes that
tnero is going to be another food. He
claims TO have had a revelation in q
dream, in which he was instructed to
prepare an ark like Noah's Of old. The
size Of TIE ark was designated in the
dream, and although the quarters are
too small for the elephants and girafes
the old man has confidence that the Lord
will squeeze them inside in some way.
Martin has figured it out by the Bible
that the food will come next August.
He expects the menagerie, however, to
begin arriving in June, when animals,
fowls, ETC., will present themselves at the
ark in pairs The old colored man be-
lieves implicitly in the revelations" he
has had and has moved his family into
the ark.
THE Lord wants the earth peopled en-
tirely with black men," he said recently,
land no white people will be taken on
the boat. Only a few very black negroes
will be admitted"
The ark is built Of old pieces Of boards
picked up about town. Martin has been
over a year building the craft.-Cor. St.
Louis Chronicle.

This gives a good margin 10 begin With.
The reduction Of the duties on woOlens
and carpets and certain other articles will
stimulate importations and thus increase
the revenues at the cost of our industries.
The increase of importations under de-
creased duties are being calculated upon
with a nicely. We are to have the high
wall around farming interests taken
down. The duties on eggs, poultry,
cereals, live stock, etc are to be cut N
two. This will have the effect Of stimu-
lating imports and increase the incomes.
The high protection afforded our farmers
has almost cut off revenues from that
source.
Although the bill will be complete
when mgr together in Sep

under about a year from September or
October. 1t will 90 into effect six or
eight months after it is approved by the

which will enable manufacturers and
dealers to get out of the stocks on hand

Remarkable Tenacity CT Life.

The pious DR.. Shifely Palmer tells a
fish story that is calculated TO make the
members Of the St. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association Ito use a strictly
original expression) e'turn green with
envy BY some hook or crook-hook
no doubt-Mr. Palmer came into pos
session Of a fine brace of tench. They
We're a lively pair of tinny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in n pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter. That night at
midnight he vas aroused, sc he says, by
a grOan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One Of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner, but such was
their ~tenacity of life that both, after hav-
ing undergone the process of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.
This is told as a scientific fact. not as
a fish story or IN the way OF a joke

Noted London Mission.

The other Sunday night at the Char
rinctOn mission. which Is held IN a long,
narrow room. double galleried all around,
the coughing from the fog) was more
like Fourth of July with conglomerate
f~recrackers. church bells and cannonad-
ing than one would conceive as possible
issuing from q merely human assembly.
Just a word about this Charrington
mission. which is a feature of the east
end. Frederick Charrington belongs to
a wealthy family of brewers. About II
years g he began to do a sort of street
missionary work in East London, near
his fathers brewery. His father threat
ened to disinherit him, but finally left
him a share, though not a full share, in
the business. Once, on being tainted
on the street with wearing the blue rib
bon-"What does it cost You TO wear
that ribbon:"-he was able to reply,
a hundred thousand dollars"
He sold out his interest in the brewery
TO his brothers and built III Mile End
road. the prolongation of Whitechapel,
the Great Assembly hall. which had been
projected bat never begun by Keith
FalcOner. Every Sunday night 5000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service of the mission, and its fellowship
society. with the constant religious, edu-
cational and entertainment work center
ing at the Great Assembly hall, makes it
a power for good in a district which con
tains a number of powers for evil.-Lon-

A Young Mans Awful Death.

Mr.. Alexander Belliveau of Lower
Town has received information from
Michigan that his son was eaten by
wolves a few days ago. The unfortu-
nate young man was foreman of a gang
working on the construction of a rail
way in the northern part of the state.
He and a friend while out hunting were
attacked by a band of wolves, and al
though they discharged their rifles into
the pack the wolves overpowered them.
Belliveau's companion climbed a tree to
escape them, and from there he saw his
companion torn to pieces by wolves at
the foot of the tree on which he was
perched. For several hours the wolves
kept around the tree and did not leave
until a number of men from the camp
came and drove them away.-Cor. To-

A Boom In Rabbits Feet.

1t will be remembered that when Vice
President Stevenson vas canvassing
North Carolina last September he was
presented with the traditional left hind
foot of a graveyard rabbit, ;" the animal
from which this token of good luck was
taken being captured, it is alleged, i'll
the old city cemetery at Raleigh. Stev-
enson ''got there and this evident full
fllment of the traditional good luck of
the possessOr of a graveyard rabbits
hind foot has evidently struck some in
geniOus Yankee with an idea. A firm in
North Carolina, which makes a specially
of rabbit skins and handles thousands
of them every year, has received an or
der for 100, 900 rabbits feet, hind feet
preferred" The natural inference is
that this order means that rabbits hind
feet" will soon be on the market as
charms. Who knows but that this an
nOuncement is the f~Orerunner of a new
''fad!"-Syracuse Journal.

Antiquity of Bell Founding.

The art of bell founding is undoubted-
~ OF great antiquity. The SaxOns are
known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they We're not unfamiliar things.
The towers Of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire, there was a famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell fOunding-which indeed is one
of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to US. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
IN very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke. the point of which Is
quite lost. More often they Were of a re-
ligiOus nature. sometimes. we fear, not
unmiXed with a dash of superstition. as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons OF the air who
caused pestilence and famine. lightning
and thunderStOrms.
As rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells. a defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic campa-
biologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history of bells shrouded in dark
ness for a long time 10 Come.-Gentle-

spent in meditation and prayer, con-

Tho sad Story of IN Easter Bonnet.

she placed the bonnet carefully on the

When he did come down stairs, the
husband caught the savory odors of fried
ham and the aroma of coffee. But he
had lost a collar button and his temper,

rumpled and collarless shirt and a terri
bic sCOwl.
Never suspecting, the head of the house
held the flower garden up to his gaze,

Last night shortly after O'Clock
Mr.. George S. Parker, who was re-
turning home from a visit on the
"Hill' in Sauk Rapids, saw blaze
of light through a window in the
printing office Of the Sauk Rapids
Sentinel. He hastened with all pos
siblc speed to the which is
situated by itself-and after effecting
an entrance through window sue
ceeded in putting out the flames and
saving the Office from destruction.
1t would seem that n. plan for de-
stroying the office had been formu-
lated and one which well nigh sue
ceeded. Waste paper had been
strewn upon the floor and piled
against a keg OF printing ink-one OF
the most infiamable of materials.
Had it not been for the timely arri-
val of Mr.. Parker the office and build
ing, the combined value OF which is
probably $4,000, would have undoubt-
edly been burned.
Mr.. Parker found the rear door of
the office open, showing that the
