"Oh, !" says some one, 'sthat story of Jo-
nah was only fable" Say others, "It
was interpolated by some writer of later
times.n Others say, ut was a reproduc-
ton Of the story of Hercules devoured
and then restored from the monster"
But my reply is that history tells US that
there were monsters large enough to
whelm ships.
The extinct ichthyosaurus of other
ages was 80 feet long, and as late as the
sixth century Of the Christian era up and
down the Mediterranean there hoated
monsters compared with which mod
erI whale was sardin6 or herring.
The shark has again and again been
found to have swallowed a man entire.
A fisherman on the coast Of Turkey
found sea monster which contained a
woman and a purse of gold. l have

But have better reason for bellev-
ing the Old Testament account, and that
is that Christ said it was true and a type
of his own resurrection, and I suppose
he ought to know. In Matthew xii, 40,
Jesus Christ says, "Forsas Jonas was
three days and three nights in the
whales belly, 50 shall the Son of Man
be three days and three nights in tho
heart of the earth" And that settles it
for me sad for any man who does not
believe Christ a dupe and an inpostor.

THE FIsHIKE IDOLS.

Layard and Wilkinson found the Sish
an object of idolatry all through Assyria
and Egypt. The Nile was full o.. fish,
and that explains the horrors of the
plague that slaughtered the fnny tribe
all up and down that river, which has
been and is now the main artery of
Egypt's life. In Job you hear the plunge
of the s.,ear into the hippopotamus as
the great dramatic poet cries out, "Canst
thou fill his skin with barbed irons OF his
head with fish spears:' Yea, the fish be-
gan to swim in the very first book of
Genesis, where my text records, "Aod
God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that
hath life"
Do you realize that the first living
thing that God created was the fish? 1t
preceded the bird, the quadruped, the
human race. The fish has priority of
residence over every living thing. The
next thing done after God had kindled
for our world the golden chandelier OF
the sun and the silver chandelier of the
moon was to make the fish. The first
motion of the principle of life, prin-
ciple that all the thousands of years since,
have not been able to define or analyze--
the very first stir OF life-was in FISH.
What an hour that was when in the
Euphrates, the Gihon, the Pison and the
Eiddekel, the four rivers of paradise,
the waters swirled with fins and bright
ened with scales. All the attributes OF
the infinite God were called into action
for the making of that first fish. Lanceo-
late and translucent miracle! There IS

Stealing IdenA

It must be surprising to the uninitiated to see how soon fashions become general ized in Paris. A creation" a new fash ion, is hardly out of an exclusive house of the Rue de h Paix-hardly out of the workrooms, it might be said-when you see it copied in the show windows of the Louvre and the Bon Marche, where it can be bought for less than one-fourth of the price asked by the great couturiers. At first the rulers of dress thought that some of their workpeople were bribed to give points, but they soon discovered that the pilfering of ideas took place in the showrooms instead of the workrooms. The Louvre and the Bon Marche engaged handsome, distinguished looking young women, dressed them as if they had $20,- 900 a year and were accustomed from infancy to having and wearing the best, gave them a private carriage and had them go to the great costumers to order garments "just come out"
 These afterward served as the models of things which the week after you might buy by the dozens. The large shops resort to this means to obtain nov elites not only in the beginning of the season, but all the year round, and the couturiers have no way of avoiding the sales, for their showrooms are open to ders. To be sure these couturierS make most of their creations for authentic princesses and duchesses, but here also the shops get the best of them.-COr. New York Tribune.

The Florid. chameleon, which also is frequently brought home by the tourist. .. is bright and intelligent creature. H. requires almost unlimited sunshine 10 bask in, and flies, which he catches on the end of his long tongue, to eat. A fernery is n comfortable place for him. This fellow, it is said, has a temper, and if not well treated or if leased he will show fight, though he can hardly do much harm. The genuine chameleon, after whom the Florida lizard is named, is one of the quaintest and oldest of pets, but he is native of the old world and rarely seen in our country.
 Another American of the family, often sent from the west and south to pet lovers, is called the horned toad, though he is no toad, but lizard. He Is said tc be an interesting pet and capable of be ing taught. All the small members oi this race live on insects and need to be kept in very warm quarters.-OIVc Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazar.

An Eccentric Washington womnn

There is a woman in Washington so- ciety whose eccentricities in certain lines are so well known as to pass without comment. Her position as a matron of literary proclivities is the motive for sun dry gatherings at her house during the season. On one occasion the guests bid den to the literary feast were informed upon arrival that they must enter by q side door, as the morning being rainy they would otherwise track mud over the hall carpet. That the hostess is not so much respecter of persons as of things is further evidenced by her conduct at an afternoon reception.
 Those of her guests whose garments were ornamented with jet were asked during their stay to remain ill the second parlor, where the furniture was of ma hoSany. This sorting out process was explained by the frank announcement that if people would wear sharp orna- ments on their clothes she must protect her own property by excluding them from the sacred precincts of the first par Tor so that the rosewood furniture could not be scratched.-Kato Fields Wash ington.

For Strangers Only.

Il stopped at n small town in West Virginia not long ago." remarked the drummer, ''and as I stood on the plat form at the station looking for somebody to tell me something about the place a native passed along"
 ''Is there hotel in this town?'' in quired.
 Thar ain't," he replied quite to the point.
 Isn't there any place for strangers to stop at:"
 Well, yes" he said hesitatingly, thar a boardin house whar nobody but strangers stops. Anybody that knowed anything about it wouldn't stop thar"

An Income Tax BilI.

Representative de Almonds scheme for raising government revenues has some features slightly unusual. Mir. de Armond wants to accumulate annual revenues large enough to meet the out lay for pensions, be the same great or small. For this purpose he would inn pose a graded tax on all incomes beyond SIG, 900. The secretary of the treasury shall fix the annual rate of the income tax and proportion it to the amount needed to pay the pensions. The S10,000 income is to be taken as basis and is to be taxed a certain per cent. All incomes up to $50, ,O00 shall be taxed at the same rate. For incomes between $jO,OO0 and SlO0, ,OOO the rates shall be doubled. 1n- comes between $10O,000 and $2o0, 900 shall be levied on at n rate three times as great as that of the $10, ,0O0 income. 4 man with. $1 100000 year will pay a rate six times as great as the person worth 1000 year. This measure will probably be favored by all persons with an income of less than $10,O00 a year and pronounced robbery by those who have that and more. If such a law should be passed, the poor millionaires will have as desperate struggle to evade it as they now have to get out of paying real estate taxes.

Loneliness of the Pacific.

In the summer of 1850 left San Fran cisco on a sail vessel (formerly from Bal timore) for Panama, distance 4, 900 miles, and on the entire route, which lasted 4S days, we never SAW a sail Loneliness is no word for it, especially when we lay becalmed in the tropics, with our vessel floating as helplessly about as a chip on a mill pond, the ground swell keeping up the monotonous roll of the vessel from side to side all day and night . day after day, each roll being accom- Id by flap of the sails and a creakin of the rigging that might have passed for the flap of the wings and the vail of Iost spirits
 When we read about Noah and his ark, we are apt to think that he must have had rather a lonely time, but then he was out only 40 days, and besides, with all the animals, etc, on board, he had plenty to occupy his time and attention, and if he wanted amusement to while away the time he had only to start a sparring match between his monkeys and parrots. True, there is no report of any such proceeding on his part, but that is doubtless because there was nc modern newspaper reporter on board tell you a man cannot realize what lone Illness or discomfort is until he has made some such trip, and if he wants to com. plete his education in that line he should preface it with a tramp of 2,0O0 miles over the mountains and across the deserts amid wolves and wild Indians, as thou sands of forty miners sdid.-Washingtor Star
