LAST OF a STRANGE PILGRIM BAND.
A Maine Woman znJaaa Awaiting Christ's
Socond Coming.

Dot01AtA ColAAlSs
An interesting story came to the sur
face at Fridays naidweek meeting at the
old Stone church. The Hon. George n.
Ely related an incident of woman 5 faith
that came under his notice during re-
cent trip through the Holy Land. In.
company with four or five tourists, Mr..
Ely was seated on piazza of hotel in
Jaffa when his attention was attracted
10 half dozen boys playing in the street
below Ali but one of the boys had
Bwarthy complications characteristic of
the country, and the ono exception was
light complexioned, with perfect Cau-
casian features.
"That boy" said one of the gentle
men, ''lools to me as though he be-
longed to the streets Of New York in
stead of Jaffa." Their interest in the
little fellow was aroused to such an ex-
tent that they went down to inquire,
and to their surprise he spoke a little
English. He said he lived with his moth
or a short distance up the street, and the
party, including Mr.. Ely, walked up
street and entered the woman's house,
which proved to be hovel of the worst
kind. They addressed her in English,
and she was beside herself with joy to
hear her native tongue spoken, and to
their utter establishment she told them
that her home is in Maine.
"Maine, my good womanl What in the
world are you doing here?" asked one of
the party.
The woman then explained that many
years since number Of men and women
in the Maine village she came from were
carried away with the idea that the Sec
ond coming Of Christ was near at hand,
and that when he does come he viii first
appear in Palestine. A colony scraped
up all their savings of years, and with
their families they emigrated to Jaffa to
be on hand when Jesus appears.
EDO they all live herep' was asked.
"They did" she replied, 'sbut some of
them, discouraged and tired of waiting,
went back to America, the rest died,
and am here all alone with my boy"
"And how do you support yourself?"
''By washing for strangers, and have
hard time doing it. Some weeks all I
can do is to keep from starvation"
One of the men told the woman that
Jaffa was no place for her and advised
her to go back to America with her boy,
give him good American education and
bring him up as an American citizen,
but the woman simply smiled at the sug-
gestion.
Returning to the hotel, the gentlemen,
all Of whom were well to do, figured out
the cost Of sending the woman and her
boy back TO her native village in Maine,
made up purse and threw in enough
for incidental expenses and spending
money. This done, they offered her the
money--and good round sum it was
but she absolutely refused to touch q
penny of it.
''This is quite a temptation" she said,
''but | came here to await thu second
coming of Christ, and intend to remain
here until he comes, unless die first"
That was her ultimatum, and no
amount Of argument could dissuade her
from her course. Cleveland World.

Liberals independence was declared
in 1e47. The republic is peopled with
liberated slaves from the United States
and their descendants, natives of Africa
who have had the advantage of 200
years contact with civilization. These
people are called Liberians. There be-
ing no manufactures in the country
everything must be imported. The ex-
ports are the natural products, to which
may be added coffee, q very fine article
being easily raised. The government
offices are precisely like those of the
United States. AS the national treasury
is empty, the currency is unfortunately
worthless, 50 that English money is used
as available on tho steamers.
The feeling of liberty and freedom
prevails SO that it would be difficult for
the people to come under monarchical
rule, although that is only question of
time in tho opinion Of many. If the
United States does not come to the pro-
lection of her daughter, England, Ger
many and France all stand ready to
grasp the little republic. Whether this
would be more favorable to the develop
ment of the country and the elevation of
the people remains 80 be seen. 1t would
certainly be the learning of many hard
lessons by the nation.-Cor. Gold

An rarly F1per.ence o. plshop r,roolss.

DR.. Edward Swasey of this city sends
the following story, which relates to the
boyhood of the late Bishop Brooks:
When a mere lad, he with one of his
brothers was sent ON short visit to his
aunt, his fathers only sister, on a well
stocked farm in Maine.
They both were making the most of
their holiday and enjoying to the full
measure every moment Of their time.
But at length Sunday morning came and
with it the sound of church bells and tho
usual family preparations to attend
church. But the boy Phil had suddenly
disappeared, and no one knew where he
had betalxen himself to. Diligent search
was made both through the house and
through the barn for him, but he did not
appear. At last my mother looked un-
der the bed in the guests chamber the
least frequented chamber in a country
ho,1se), and there she found the future
bishop of Massachusetts.
Poor boy, he had probably had some
inkling Of what the church service meant
in those days in Congregational coun-
try church, both as to duration and the
length of the sermonl His little scheme
to secure forenoon out Of doors rather
than spend it shut up in church had
been frustrated. He was brought inte
the light, however, and taken to church.

rastes of Tlobacco users.

"One can almost tell what section of
the country a man comes FROM" said
well known cigar man who has lived in
Washington, last night, "by the kind of
tobacco ne uses, both chewing and smolz-
ing. Take westerners first They want
a very sweet plug tobacco and will have
nothing else.
''Plain granu1ated American leaf is
what they smoke. The middle states
man-the individual from Illinois, Ohio
and Indiana-will take nothing but fine
cut in which the natural taste of the
weed has been preserved.
''There, too, they are patterning after
the epicures of the east and the north,
and for their smoke they demand the
fragrant aroma of Havana tobacco. If
their purses will not allow such a lux
ury, plain American leaf is good enough.
Then for the north.
'Of course both Boston and New
York are cosmopolitan cities, where ev-
erything, from old Virginia dogtail in
corncob pipes and the dudeens of Ireland
to the finest imported cigars and ciga-
rettes, are consumed by the thousands of
pounds. There is practically no individ-
ual taste in the metropolis. Everything
goes.
"In the southern states the leaf pure
is the only thing used, no matter to what
purpose the weed may be put. If nplug,
you will find only natural leaves. OF
course all kinds and qualities Of tobacco
are manufactured in the south, but all
the born and bred southerners ask for is
purity. y."-Richmon State.

Discoveries In the Last Thirty Years.

When the story Of the nineteenth cen
tury is written, it will be found that 1t is
chiefly in the last third that the most as
tonishing stops forward have been taken,
the first portion showing rather the lay
ing of foundations for progress than
marked features Of the thing itself.
It is not alone telephone and telegraph
and electricity harnessed in hundred
forms to the use Of man, but earth itself
has joined with air and all subtle forces
to yield, from hitherto unknown re-
sources, myriad aids to easier living.
Petroleum began it, and in the search
for oil many another mystery disclosed
itself. It was plain that earth held in
hiding not only many form Of light,
heat and color, but purifying agents,
thus far known only to the working
chemist and first and chief among these
came borax, till the beginning of the
present generation rare and costly, and
used only by blacksmiths in Welding

The time honored process Of bringing
In bills IS thus described by the author
Of "A Diary of the Salisbury Parlia-
,ment:"
The speaker, holding in his hand a
long listof notices given the day before,
calls the names Of the members in sue
cessiop. "Mr. Murphy" calls the speak
er. Mr.. Murphy raises his hat, where
upon the speaker says, "Ihe question is

billY' asks the speaker. Then Mr.. Muir
ply rises and reads out the names Of
members who indorse his bill, and the
speaker goes on to the next on the list.
AS the speaker approaches the end Of
the list members who are TO bring in
bills struggle for places at the bar of the
house. The speaker calls or the member
whose name heads the list. He makes
his way through the throng at the bar
and advances toward the clerks table,
holding piece of folded foolscap in his
hand.
This is understood to be the bill he is
bringing in, but there is nothing within
but blank sheet, elaborately indorsed
on the outside with the title. The text
of the measure viii be deposited in the
bill Office at some future convenient date.
The clerk, carefully concealing his
knowledge Of the fiction, respectfully
takes charge of ''the bill, recites its title
which is the first reading Of the bill
and then asks, Second reading?'

THE IYnY pcorIe Gitn

1t is one thing to have chair and an
other to know how to sit on it. The
ideal Of a graceful sitting posture has
varied in the different ages of the world.
The Egyptians sat bolt upright, the
knees and feet closely pressed together.
It was the ceremonial attitude. The
Greeks and Romans, when their seats
had no backs and they were at liberty
to forget their dignity, sat stooping, with
one or both elbows supported by the
arms. The Chinese ideal was the knees
and feet wide apart. They have main
tanned that attitude in sitting for 4,000
years The Saxops and early Norman
kings are represented in old manuscripts
and on coins in the same position. Down
to date comparatively recent kings and
queens received sitting stifly on their
thrones, any marked change Of posture
being thought to derogate from the royal
dignity They now receive standing

Quite freak of human nature passed
through the Union depot last night. The
creature was similar in deformity to
"Big Head Willie" the st. Louis news
boy. In this instance, however, the large
head reposed on the thin and slender
frame of an 11-year-old girl. She was
the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Wick, who were on their way from Peirce
City, Mo-, to Cookville, Tenn. -Four
other children accompanied them, all
healthy and strong. Nellie, the unfor
tunate girl, was the first born and has
been in her present condition since birth.
She is unable to hold her unusually large
head erect and must be carried in her
fathers arms. Her head measures 36
inches in circumference and is as round
as q ball. The length from the chin to
the forehead is 1e inches. The neck is
thin and in proportion to her body. The
child has been treated for dropsy of the
brain by scores of doctors. She speaks
the English language huently and can
sing we'll. The child's body is poorly de-
veloped. ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
