An Impossible Sacrifice.

A Hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used
to get rid of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: "Once,
when in Paris, Napoleon and I paid a
visit to hospital for old soldiers. Here
he perceived among the rest u man who
had lost one Of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. Where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor
At Auste1litz, your majesty Then
no doubt you curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your mutilated imb?' No indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native land would readily sacrifice
my other arm if needs be-. lean hardly
believe that the emperor remarked
and passed on. But the soldier, anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme-
diately drew a saber from it's sheath and
Topped off his other arm.''
Here Deak would pause and fix a
penetrating look on his visitor "Well,
what have you to say of such a man
and such an action?' "A most sublime
act Of self sacrifice! A truly noble char
acter!'' This was the style of reply in
variably given. ''But the story has one
haw,' - he would gravely add. "What
is that, pray?' "It is simply imprac-
ticable. How could one armed man
contrlve to cut off his only remaining
arm?'

The Influence of Persia,

To understand the relation of Mussul-
man rule to religious and intellectual
freedom we must note the influence Of
the conquest of Persia On the arab
mind. When the invaders took the cap
ltal city Of Khosru, they did not know
the value CT booty. Some offered to ex-
change gold for silver, and others mis-
took camphor for sulphur. They came
like swarms Of half starved locusts to
devour the land. They were banditti of
the desert, with no culture but the in
SEPARATION Of the clans. The only idea of
government in these tribes was the
leadership Of age and valor, as repre-
scented in the sheik, with a natural mix
ture Of hereditary respect On the death
Of Mohammed they broke into rebellion.
Islam really came on the world like a
fierce descent Of desert clans on their foes.
Mohammed's ideal Of government
was just to send his governors through
Arabia to establish Islam and then to
collect tribute from the poor in camels
and sheep; also as plumber to meet the
expense of his campaign. Under these
circumstances it was an absolute neces-
Slty for the founders of the Mussu Imam
empire in the east to adopt in the main
the financial and administrative expert
ence OF their more cultured subjects.
Arabic names, customs, language, rites,
penetrated the empire, but under their
external forms appeared the native
ideas and methods. Persians were the
leaders and shapers Of Islamic culture.
The simple Arabs learned of these
larger brains and more sensuous mag
nations, music, architecture, sculpture,
philosophy, wine and fine apparel Per-
SLAMS were the real founders and teach
ers of the great academic clubs and
schools. -Johnson's "Oriental Reli-
gions.''

Forms of Incredulity.

Consider the great mu ltitude of Chris
tians who are constitutionally incapable
OF believing that there can be good in
any other religious system than their
own. How many Professionals are there
who hold it Incredible that any good
thing can come out Of Rome? Can you
number the Romanists who are without
faith in anything the Protestants ever
did?
A similar peculiarly is seen in races.
There are many Hishmen who can be-
heve in nothing but Saxon "perfdy, -
many Poles who can believe in nothing
but Russian 'wickedness, many b.
hemians who can believe in nothing but
the German ''brute," and many Eng
lishmen who can believe in nothing but
the unspeakable Turk ALI the Year
Round.

A. NEW JERSEY POKER STORY.
-Four Straight Flushes Result In an Equal
Division of the Stakes.

-Four Straight Flushes Result In an Equal
Division of the Stakes.
y A straight flush in the great Ameri-
can game Of draw poker is such a rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
one Of the most fortunate and blessed Of
mortals Devotees of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
lily, but its absolute authenticity can
be, verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party of four play
ers entered place not a thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours Of
recreation at their fayorite game An
other game in progress at the time was
full, SO the four players were obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The Jack pot" came around, each Of
the four players filled in, and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
81 cards, were cut by the player to the
right Of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The first player to the
left Of the dealer opened the lack pot,
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, so
that the raising and lively chipping in
before the draw created considerable
surprise. When the dealer prepared to
serve the cards for the draw, each of the
players stood "pat,' and the betting
again started.
When each Of the players had Clipped
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, as that amount had never before
been wagered on game in the place,
and none of the players could afford to
risk greater amount. When the hands
were shown, some of the players almost
sucoumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight Pushes, one Of each
suit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away in case to be
preserved as a reminder of the greatest
poker hands ever held in this section
and probably in the United States

OLD GUM CROW"
Aow Rice Introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.


acter to the Stage.
In the early twenties Thomas Dart
mouth Rice first entered upon his theat-
rical career by doing little negro bits, "
between the acts of plays, says the
writer in the Boston Herald. While in
Louisville the theater at which he per-
formed looked out back upon an old
stable yard, around which there was
constantly loungjng an old, decrepit
slave named Jim Grow, who was so
d. frightfully deformed as to appear inhu-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck in way that would indicate
that the bone had been inverted. His
lower limbs were dreadful]y distorted,
the left knee being a huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with pitiful, yet ludi-
.crous, hobble.
This forlorn darky was in the habit
Of grooming a queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close Of each verse by taking
a peculiar STEP rocl1in de heel Rice
closely watched this unconscious per
former, and conceived the idea of pro.
ducing similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would "take' Wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
~ as the original and appeared upon q
Louisville stage singing a score of hui
morous verses to the air-slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple The audience received
this innovation with bursts of applause.

A WAITER WHO LOST MONEY.
He Intruded Upon q Conversation and
Didn't Get Tip.

D1OnG OeC b ZIP.
From their conversation they were
evidently uncle and NIECE. and the lat
ter was from the country. Her gown
was trimmed with many ribbons, and
it bore the unmistakable stamp Of the
rural dressmaker.
Notwithstanding that fact, she was
good to look upon, and her interest in
everything around her was vigorous and
broad. They found a table in a restau-
rant in the Tenderloin not far from the
intersection of Broadway and Sixth ave-
nue. at the dinner hour
Eyes," said the uncle, IT have been
here long enough to become a pretty
thorough New Yorker" and then he
ordered a modest dinner. "This is one
of the bang up restaurants, and you ii
always find first rate people here. My
boarding house is bang up, but this
beats it all hollow
Then niece Strengthened out ribbon
and then looked around in: an embar
raised way. She was struggling with a
question. AS if the suggestion were al
together improbable she asked:
"Did you ever see Jay Gould?'
"Sr1e have,'' he answered; "lots
and lots of times. -
s'Did you ever see Mr.. Vanderbilt"
"Cornele?'' said the uncle inquiring-
ly. Eyes, indeed. When I boarded up
town, I used to see Cornele nearly every
day."
"What did he look like?' asked the
niece, beginning to feel the Importance
of dining with a New York uncle who
had seen millionaires.
"Why, Cornele Vanderbilt is one ma.l
in a thousand," said the uncle, putting
up with PRIDE "Re is a tall, fine look
ing man with heavy black beard You
would know him in any crowd for a
man Of Importance. He wears his hair

pardon, m'sieur," interrupted the
waiter, who had begun to serve the soup,
and who had stopped in surprise as the
city uncle began to describe Cornelius
Vanderbilt. "Pardon, m sieur, but I
hat had ze honor to serf Meestar Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, and you make ices mis-
take. He is not beeg, and he has not re
black whiskers, full beard, So lie is

''Just bring me large spoon, wait
err interrupted the uncle AS the wait
or got out Of earshot he said: "You see,
haven't seen Cornelius Vanderbilt
since Imoved down town. He's changed
good deal since then, and I have heard
that his whiskers had been trimmed. !"
The waiter didn't have another op-
portunity to intrude in the conversation,
and he received no tip.-New York Sun.

Fishermen's Queer wavs.

Fishermen have queer customs. A
few years ago the fishermen of Preston,
Lancashire, used actually to go fishing
on Sunday. 1t seems incredible, but
they did. A clergyman of the town used
to preach against this Sabbath desecra.
tion and pray that they might catch nc
fish. And they did not! But they found
out how to make his prayers of no avail.
The fishermen used to make a little
effigy Of the parson in rags and put this
small guy up their chimneys. While
his reverence was slowly smoked and
consumed, the fish bit-like anything -

Elsewhere in this mornings is
sue will be found a notice from
Minister Willis calling a meeting
of American citizens to discuss ar
rangements for celebrating the
Fourth of July.
T. F. Lansing, chairman of last
years committee, together with
other members, met Wednesday to
discuss the matter of celebrating
this year. There was some hest
fancy expressed as to the advisa-
bility of making the occasion dis
tinctly American.
Mr.. Lansing was requested to
confer with Minister Willis regard
ing the celebration. He called on
the American representative yes
terday and was informed that Min
lister Willis would cordially co-ope-
rate in carrying out a suitable OBJ
servance of the day. If it was later
found expedient to have a joint
celebration, it could pot be ex-
pected that he could officially take
part, but would, if the thirty days
period of mourning expired by that
date, hold a reception at the Amer
lean legation on the afternoon of
the 4th, at which time he would be
pleased to meet all who desired'to
attend.
The account published in an
afternoon paper that the situation
was puzzling to both Minister
Willis and Mr.. Lansing is not the
case, the statement being unauthor-
lied, ill-timed and impolitic.
Mr.. Lansing was seen about the
item, and he stated that Minister
Willis action was clear and we'll
defined, he being particularly
axious to lend all possible aid to
the occasion. This view was made
plain to a representative of this
paper, who called at the American
legation yesterday. 1t is but JUS
tice to both Minister Willis and
Mr.. Lansing that the public should
know the facts about the matter.
