1t Is Sign. for One Thing. of the APP
preaching Old Age.
DR.. Chalmers went 20 preach for Ed
ward Irving, the erratic genius who
asked the privilege of making a few
preliminary remarks and spoke an hour
or so in a crowded building, says the
Christian Advocate. Chalmers, refer
ring to it afterward, said: wv hat could
do in an exhausted receiver" There
are many cases justifying sleeping in
church; the mother who has been
watching two or three nights with q
sick child; the father who has been
thoroughly overworked, and invslids,
are not to be condemned if they doze
in the sanctuary unwillingly. The ca
bonic acid gas resulting from crowds,
and especially from gas Jets, old air
heated by steampipes, the effects of
furnaces with red hot irepots, through
which not only carbOnic acid gas, but
a far more dangerous gas, can perco-
late, make the most devout and atten-
tive drowsy.
Sometimes the first signs Of old age
are tendency TO sleep in church. The
philosophy of the nod and OF the atti-
tudes of the head is this: Unconscious

the head and also of the under jaw.
but as the head slips back it produces
an uncomfortable feeling that slightly
awakens the sleeper. who spasmodical-
ly exercises his will and straightens
himself up, and relaxes it Immediately
afterward. This may continue in some
cases, putting the man in the attitude
apparently of bowling assent TO
every succeeding sentence. No wom-

if she has the ordinary desire

LOST CARNOTS Hat
in the Exoitement of the Moment Anothos
Man Wore It Away.

Man Wore It Away.
A strange incident, by the way,
marked the last days spent by Nine
Carnot In the palace which had been
her home for seven anxious years. She
desired to preserve as precious relics
for her family ell the articles of dress
worn by her husband at the moment
when he was struck down by the assas-
sins hand. These were carefully coli
lected and sent to her, but the hat
alone was missing, and II was supposed
TO have been lost IN the confusion ot
that fatal drive. 1t appears, however,
that among the first to offer medical
help as the victim lay on his desthbed
at the prefecture was DR.. Girard, the
mayor of Charbonnierss.
When other surgeons took charge n
the case this gentleman discreetly
withdrew and was looking for his hat,
whereupon Col Chamoin handed one TO
him. He put 1t on and went home,
thinking It was his own, for 1t fitted
him exactly. Not until some days later
he cast his eyes on this article Of head
gear as il hung In his hall, examined IL
more closely and found It marked In
side with sc" did he recognize his
mistake. The lost hat was forthwith
restored and Mime. Carnot acknovl-
edged its receipt in letter expressing
her heartfelt thanks

THRIVING ON PERSECUTION.
The Gypsies of Hungary Still Maintain
Their Ancient Customs Unchanged.

lac OF hungary sIuE MAINTAIN
Their Ancient Customs Unchanged.
In Hungary there are, according to
rough estimate, about one hundred and
fifty thousand gypsies, vagabonds who
wander about the country with their
carts and horses, accompanied by their
women and children; and though at
one time prosecuted as unbelievers and
hunted TO death as sorcerers and poi
soners, the cruel edicts which enjoined
such treatment were never sympathized
in by the Hungarian people. The re-
suit is, as we learn from 1.-THE Peoples
OF the World" that the gypsies have
increased, and, in their own thriftless,
squalid fashion, prospered, despite the
hard usage they have received at the
hands of their rulers. Indeed, the Hun
garian kings have more than once pro-
tected them as poor wandering peo-
pie without country, and whom all
the world rejected" and granted them
safe conducts to go wherever seemed
good to them, with their troops Of
donkeys and horses. Joseph II. of
Austria tried to settle them as agricul-
turists, and had huts built for them.
But instead of occupying the comfort
able dwellings themselves, they sta bled
their cattle in them and pitched their
tents outside. Then, to prevent their
corn from sprouting, they boiled it be-
fore sowing; and though their children
were taken from them and trained up
into habits of work under Magyar and
German peasants, these wildlings soon
escaped and joined their parents, with
out having learned anything from their
forcible apprenticeship to civilization.
1t is affirmed that gypsy who had
actually risen TO the rank of an officer
In the Austrian army disappeared one
day and was found six months after
ward with band of Zingari encamped
on the heath. A young Slovack peasant
fell in love with and married gypsy
girl, but in his absence she escaped to
the woods and. when discovered, was
sleeping under the skies and feeding on
hedgehogs, after the fashion OF the
race from whom she had been taken.
Able List. charmed with the talent
for music displayed by gypsy boy,
took him to Paris and tried to train the
little lad. But all in vain. The mo-
ment he saw his own people in Vienna
his delight was indescribab bic; there
wes no longer any hope Of keeping him
under the restraint of polite life.

How California Planter Amuses himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.

How q California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers
Eastern visitors to California are al
ways much interested il the olive plan
tations which in recent years have be-
come a feature of the most southerly
counties of the state. The lovers of
the succulent fruit when picked and
bottled for sale in the east and north
are ALWAYS anxious to taste the olive
fresh and ripe. There is popular inn
preston that il is sweet and delicious,
but, like many other popular impress
sions this is delusion and snare.
A few miles south of San Diego, says
the New York Herald, where the rail-
roa d makes q junction with a small one
track road leading into Mexico, large
planter has taken advantage of this de-
fusion for his own amusement On the
srrival of each train from the north
numerous travellers dismount TO await
the starting of the train across the
Mexican border. For their benefit the
planter has nailed box outside Of his
fence just across the way from the rail-
road station which he keeps filed with
nice, ripe olives. A placard invites VIC

BOTKIN WILL GET OUT.

To the litor OF the Eagle.
WELLINGTON. Kan, Aug a. - The
trouble in which Rev. J. d. Botkin, pastor
Of the First Methodist church was involved,
caused by his 1ntermixing politics with
religion, came to an end last night when
he rendered his resignation after long
talk with the board which consisted of
some mighty pointed statements. Charges
were preferred against Mr. Botkin last
week and although he came out best.
through the sympathy of the ladies of the
church, nevertheless the harmony of the
congregation was so disturbed aud shat
tered that either resigsaton or disruption
was inevitable. He will preach his last
sermon next Sunday

The peculiar brightness Of Boston
children is established anew by story
printed in the Journal 1t concerns a
girl twelve years old, whose father told
her just before the Fourth Of July that
he could not afford to buy any FIRE
works, but that she and Willie would
have TO watch the other children.
The small brother seemed quite re-
signed to the inevitable, and on the
morning Of the Fourth marched across
the street TO see the other boys fire
their torpedoes.
The little girl was not SO easily salts
fed. At frst she could not believe but
that 1t was joke. and hunted all over
the house FOR bundles which might
suggest firecrackers. At breakfast.
however, when nothing was sid about
fireworks, she became convinced that
her father had really meant what he
said, and that She and Willie were "a
have no frecrackers, nor even a bundle
OF torpedoes. All at onoe she covered
her face, burst into tears. and said:
20 papa. what do you suppose Samuel
Adams and George Washington and
John Adams and John Hancock would
say il they were alive?"
That was too much for the fond
father, who came home two hours
efterwsrd loaded down with frecraclz-
ers, torpedocs. pinwheels. Roman can
dies and what not.
