The Original Paul Pry.

Thomas Hill, fnmiliarly called Tommy Hill, was, says Dr. Brewer the origin l Paul Pry. It was from him also that Theodore Hook drew his character of , Gil bert Gurney. Planohe, in his "Recolleo- tions," says of Hill:
 "His speciality was the accurate infor- nation he could impart on all the petty details of the domestic economy of his friends, the contents of their wardrobes, their pantries, tho number of pots of pre- serves in their store closets and of the ta- ble napkins in their linen presses the dates of their births and marriages the amounts of their tradesmen's bills and whether paid weekly or quarterly. He had been on the press and was connected with The Morning Chronicle. He used to drive Matthews crazy by ferreting out his where abouts when he left London and popping the information in some paper.

What a Miracle Is.

We are therefore led to define miracle as an effect in nature which, as dependent upon controlling will and duo to the ac tion of that will, is as natural in every sense as all other observed actions which arc all likewise similarly dependent, but an effect also which, in so far as it is tho result of unique conditions, stands alone among other observed effects and thus em phasizes to us the direct action of that di vine agency which underlies all effects.
 Once admit the possibility of unique conditions and science must admit the certainty of unqiue results.
 What we call natural law'' is thus the result of purpose acting under duplicated conditions. What we call miracle" can only be the result of that same purpose acting i'll view of unique conditions.
 In this view we need not go to the Bible for miracles. We find them in the hif tory of the earth and man. The begin ming of life, tho origin of consciousness these are the well established miracles of science. They arc natural as the inevita bio result of antecedent conditions They are unique in that those conditions can not be duplicated. As the unique result of unique conditions they arc miraculous, and yet they arc strictly natural What Has Science to Do With Religions' in Century

She Had Enough of Them.

He was too modest to Do n successful lover, and he had let 40 years of his life go by without ever coming to an emotional point
 He was in love with fair being of suit able age, but ho would not tell her so, and though she knew it she could not very well give him a tip on tho situation.
 She was willing because she had arrived at that time of life when woman is not nearly so hard to please as she might haye been at some other time, but he was stupid and wont away without a word.
 Ho was gone long time, and when he came back he found her still ready.
 'I havo come back after many years, he said to her as he took her hand in greeting.
 Shc had learned something in the years since she had seen him last
 Well, for goodness sake, Henry, she exclaimed fervidly, why don't you take themp Pm 85 now. How many more years do you wantf'

 Tho two fish are placed in the same bot tie, says a writer in tho London Field. They proceed to take zach other measure, shoulder up to each. other in schoolboy fashion and back and push around the ring, tho small fins vibrating rapidly all the time, and each littlo being qniyering with excitement and wrath. This goes on for some minutes until as the specta- tors arc growing impatient, one fish sud denly flips his head around, makes dart, and considerable dent in his advcrsary's tail shows at once that ho has got home. Henceforth there is no hesitation until ono or the other cries 'peccavi." In reg ular fish fights on which money depends tlic battle is continued until one fish turns tail and is chased around the bottle by tho other. But this is usually an affair of an hour and frequently three or four.
 Tho pluck and determination of the fighters are wonderful. The ordinary stream fish do not evince it nearly so much as those that have been bred for the pur- posc Tho tail is the part which shows tho most damage, for it is very easily torn. but good grip on side fin is most effective. When one pins the other by the nose, an exciting struggle takes place, the two lying fastened together like profes- sional wrcstlers and then shaking each other backward and forward with might and main.
 They often seem extremely exhausted, but still fight on braycly, and sometimes 1t Is a matter of difficulty to part them. They display considerable agility in cyad- ing their opponents mouth and also in suddenly twisting around and taking piece out of its tail
 In 20 minutes or so these appendages, which looked so brave and bright as they went into the fray, arc torn to ribbons. Tho fishs general appearance after the fight suggests that of sailing ship emerg ing from q hot action with her canvas hanging in streamers, her topmasts shot away, her crew gasping for breath, but still ready to fight again. The fish some- times succumb to long contest, but gen erally they only take superficial damage and are immediately ready to feed. After match they arc always rested week or more, according to tho extent of their in juries, and most of the rents and cuts are repaired by nature.
 Enthusiastic owners often wager 96 or R7 or moro on their favorites, and many people earn little money by breeding fighting fish and then backing them against others.

They Could Not Eat Tn ty QuaiIs Tn
 Thirty Consecu' Days.
 Winston Harris camo over to sec me about sonlo birds on his farm, and after dinner we went to get them, but could not find them, and only got six during the afternoon. Winston said tho quail re- minded him of some great fly fishing in which he used live quail for flies. He told the following:
 In 1S47 was living at Bonneville, on the Missouri river Right opposite tl town was big bend, making half circle four or five miles across. That fall there came hundreds of thousands of quail, travelling south, and when they struck the river they followed it till they came into the hollow of the big bend, and then flew across, but as it was milo good many of tho weaker ones fell into tho river and those that got across were so tired that people just picked up all they wanted of them.
 "There were several acres of very deep water in the bend, aud there were good many big catfish in there that never would bite at any sort of bait Well, these cat fish got to snapping up every quail that fell into tho water, so got tho blacksmith to make mo hook, got ECO feet of clothes line at the store, and tying lie quail to the hook threw it away out in the river, and something took it right off, and it would have taken me, too if tho boys hadn't grabbed tho limo and helped. We pulled out catfish that weighed 1S7 pounds strong, and he had nearly bushcl of quail in him. Wo thought we were go- ing to havo any amount of fun now, but tho next morning dead catfish began to come to tho top of the water and float down stream.
 What killed themP'' asked.
 Killed themselves trying to cat 30 quail in 30 days, said Winston.-F crest and Stream.

 The superstition of gamblers is well il lustrated by the following story of tho fa. tai hand: A stranger was watching a game of poker once at Helena, Mon- The play CTS were a gambler (whom knew slightly, and who bore tho sobriquet of Lucky Bil') and two miners. Suddenly, after the hands were dealt and the players had ''chipped in" and drawn cards, Lucky Bill, with perfect calmness and not so much of a shadow of change in the ex- precision of his face, took notebook from his pocket and deliberately wrote n few words. Then he tore out the leaf and hand ed it to the stranger.
 Look at that when you get home to- night.
 His voica was steady and did not betray a particle of excitement. Tho play pro- gresscd. Lucky Bill's face was unyield- ing as a stone. He noticed everything, however, and his yigilant eye did not miss the slightest move on the part of the other players. He was a typical gambler, and one of tho most successful of his guild; hence his sobriquet
 At last there was an altercation between the two miners Hot words ensued, and revolyers were drawn. Some of the by islanders intorfered at this point, and in tho scufic that followed 1 heard tho sharp whistle and ping of a bullet. Lucky Bill (his good star in the dosccndant) fell to the floor and expired without groan. He had been killed by tho accidental discharge of pistol in the hands of one of the min CTS. Tho paper he had written read as fol- lows:
