Electric Freak In n Church.

Recently there was an eclipse Of the
electric light at Elm Road Baptist
chapel, Southsea, and, curiously enough,
the pastor had chosen for his texts,
Proverbs lxxiv. 20, 'The candle Of the
wicked shall DO put out" and Psalm
xvii, %, "For thou wilt light my can
die; tho Lord my God will enlighten
my darkness, a combination rather
cruel to the electric light, for when the
lights went out some of tho congrega-
ton went out also and obtained can
dies and lamps, whereupon service pro-
ceeded. The pastor could not conyen-
iently change his texts in consequence
Of what had happened, and he may have
been prepared for the general litter
which followed their announcement.
Lately a somewhat similar case occurred
in an American church, and tho amuse-
ment was heightened by tho action Of a
deacon who absentmindedly lighted a
match and applied it to one of the cleo
trio lights. London Lightning.

Sons of British Noblencn Shock Polite So
ciety by Their Goings On.
Polite society in London has had an
other severe shock in tho announcement
that one of the most eligible young men
in tho matrimonial market has engaged
himself to pert young person playing
a second rate part at the Gaiety theater.
The gentleman is Majoribanks, the eld-
est son of Lord Tweedmouth one Of the
wealthiost of peers and the lady is Miss
Birdie Sutherland, better known per-
haps as the sister of Lily Harold, tho
comedienne and singer Of plantation
songs, at present grazing the Drury
Lane pantomime. Nobody has ventured
to suggest that these two young women
are not as good and virtuous as they are
undeniably pretty, and it is fact that
they reside i'll a genteel suburb with
their widowed mother and frequently
take part in local church charity con-
certs, but all that, with additional proof
of severe responsibility afforded by the
fact that their father was a clerk in the
Bank of England, is scarcely sufficient
to Justify their ambition to contract an
alliance with family the head Of
which is member of tho British cabi-
net
Lord Tweedmouth asked newspaper
mon in tho commons lobby to contradict
tho report of his sons engagement,
from which it may be assumed that he
succeeded in arranging matters. But it
would not DO at all surprising if the
match would DO ratified after all.
Young Majoribanks, who is familiarly
known to the habitues of the Gaiety
theator as "tho Skipper" celebrated his
majority tho other day. !
This infatuation is probably tho result
Of tho latest fad among tho London
Johnnies, who indulge in exciting ri
valry to score the highest possible num-

tainment is given. There is declared to

Father PrOut Made 1t His Business to Hoax
Notable Characters.
Authors have often mystified tho pno-
lie, but man who made business Of
mystifying professional writers is anot-
ablo character. Such one, however,
was tho Rov. Francis Mahony. better
known as Father Prout." His favorite
trick was to take we'll known and pop
ular poem, translate it into another Ian
guagc, boldly assert that III its new
form it possessed great antiquity and
charge tho author with having stolen it.
This trick he played Oh more than one
noted author during the early days Of
the present century, and each was soroly
puzzled to explain tho identity of the
poem which he knew to DO his own with
that in a foreign language.
Prout translated Moore's "Go Where
Glory Waits Thee" into excellent
French verse, attributed it to Nine. La
Comtesse do Chateaubriand and charged
Moore with having stolen it bodily. The
song, "Lesbia Hath Beaming Eye"
he rendered into choice Latin and
claimed it as youthful production Of
his own, which he had once shown to
Moore Another of Prouts achievements
was the translation of Wolfo's Burial
Of Sir John Moore" into French, claim
ing, at the Same time, that the lines

who was killed at Pondicholry in 1749.

While Officials Are Tied Up With 1t the
Statue of Puget Is lIinus Nose.
British red tapeism is bad to beat, but
the record just now is with Paris There
tho front Of the Ecolo des Beaux Arts is
adorned with statue of Puget, tho
once famous tenor. Four years ago q
passerby made the discovery that tho
statues nose had como off. He called
tho attention Of the policeman on duty
to the fact. The policeman reported to
his brigadior, who reported to tho COM
missary of the quartee, who reported to
tho prefecture of police. The prefecture
of police decided that the nose had drop
ped off tho statue and had not been
maliciously knocked off. Tho matter
therefore concerned the prefecture Of the
Seine. 1t was then August, 1891. In
October committee of three was ap-
pointed to decide which department.
had to put the nose Oh again. The COM
mittee inspected the statue in January,
1892, and reported in December that
they were unable to report.
In February, 1898, this report reach
ed the department Of public works. The
head of a room found it in Juno and
mado the lives of his subordinates SO
many burdens to them with it. Some
how Or other it got into print that but
for this jealous official there would be
hardly statue in France and in Ma
varre with its nose on. In July he was
decorated for special services Somebody
else took up the report. Between jan
uary and December, 1894, it had got
into parliament. On Feb. 25, 1896, the
house sat upon it, and NM. Jaures and
Carnaud got off some virulent attacks
upon tho government for its want of
public spirit. Tho next day the Same
passerby who had reported absence of
the nose happened to pass by again. He
discovered that the nose had not been re-
placed. He reported to the policeman on
duty, who. etc. The nose of Puget is in
for another round Pail Mall Gazette.
