Eleotrio Freak In . Church.

Recently there was an eclipse OF the
electric light at Elm Road Baptist
chapel, Southsea, and, curiousIy enough,
the pastor had chosen for his texts,
Proverbs lxxiv. 30, ''The candle Of the
wicked shall be put out, " and Psalm
xvii, 80, "For thou wilt light my can
die; the Lord my God will enlighten
my darkness, a combination rather
cruel to the electric light. for when the
lights went out some Of tie congrega.
ton went out also and obtained can
dies and lamps, whereupon service pro-
ceeded. The pastor could not conven-
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 somewhat similar case occurred
in an American church, and the amuse-
ment was heightened by the action Of
deacon who absentmindedly lighted q
match and applied it to one of the cleo
trio lights. London Lightning.

People who Vanish.

Among the periodic waves which
strike our great oenters there is none SO
strange as that of mysterious disappear
ances. Such wave selects its victims
from all classes, ages Men, women and
children are impartially its prey. Some
times the absentees return in dazed
condition unable to tell Of their where
abouts Others present mystery dark
or still, for they never return and are
no more heard of. Foul play, crazed
fever for wandering, premeditated
flight, are called to account as causes,
but some of these mysteries have neither
apparent cause nor end. 1t is queer
and weird feature Of our modern life
that these mysterious disappearance can
SO easily take place and their subjects
be neither traced nor recovered in spite
of our crowded civilization. But per-
haps it is because Of it.-Baltimore

SWALLOWED THE JUMPING BEANS.

Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
Dose In the Dark.
A good citizen in the northwestern
section of the city has been through an
exciting experience. Being dyspeptic,
the gentleman visited his physician. A
prescription was written for him which
the druggist filled. The result was a
small box of capsules, which he took
home and placed upon the sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc-
tions to take two every hour in the even
ing after eating until bedtime. These
were obeyed implicitly.
1t was dark in the dining room, and
the gentleman went for mis- medicine
the first evening without a precaution
of lamp and administered to himself
three doses of two capsules each before
retiring. He was awakened some hours
afterward by a strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be q mammoth penuchle board
on which million little objects were
dancing.
He could distinguish kicks and jumps
SO wildly that it was in vain for his
wife to try to convince him that he was
dreaming. She suggested the doctor,
and the servant was dispatched in hot
haste. Before he arrived the sick man
asked for more Of the capsules, which
were brought to his bedside When the
cover was removed, there were Mexican
beans instead of capsules, the kernels
bouncing as merrily as spring lambs
The box of capsules had been misplaced
accidentally by the Young son and heir
and the beans put in its place. The doc
tor does not say what kind Of medicine
he finds useful in such cases. Wash

MYsTIFIED AUTHORS.

Father Prout Made IT His Business to Hoax
Notable Characters.
Authors have often mystified the pub
lie, but man who made business Of
mystifying professional writers is a not
able character. Such one, however,
was the Rev. 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
guage, boldly assert that in its new
form it possessed great antiquity and
charge the author with having stolen it
This trick he played on more than one
noted author during the early days OF
the present century, and each was sorely
puzzled to explain the identity of the
poem which he knew to be his own with
that in foreign language
Prout translated Moore's go Where
Glory Waits Thee" into excellent
French verse, attributed it to Nine. La
Comtesse de 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 Prout's achievements
was the translation of Walfs's Burial
of Sir John Moore" i: 30 q renoh, claim
ing, at the same time, that the lines
were written by Colonel de Beaumanois,
who was killed at Pondicherry in 1749.
Not satisfied with this, be proceeded
further and translated the lines into
German verse and stoutly declared that,
while Wolfe had stolen from the French
poet, the latter had in turn pilfered
from the German. the latter poem hav-
ing, as he stated, been written to COM
memorate the death and burial of the
Swedish General Toistenson, who was
killed at the siege Of Dantzio Poor
Wolfe was dumfounded at seeing his
popularity disappear and was not much
comforted when the hoax was discov-

See ! Nail. DON'T Pick It Up,

Mr.. William Garrett made recently
the statement that wire nails are now
sold SO oheaply that If a carpenter drops
q nail it is cheaper to let it lie than to
stoop and pick it up, and it is claimed
that one keg out of five is never used,
but goes to waste. A statistician igur-
ing this out, and assuming that 1t takes
a carpenter ten seconds to pick up a
nail, and that his time is worth 80 cents
an hour, remarks that the recovery Of
the nail he has dropped would cost .083
cents. The money value of the nail is
.0077 cents-that is, 1t would not pay
to pick up ten nails If it took ten SEQ
onds Of time worth 80 cents an hour.
Ordinary men who are not very quick
can, however. pick up nail on mod
erately clean floor in five seconds. As
Stunning that this is better average than
the ten seconds, and that we are paying
the carpenter only % cents an hour, 1t
will still cost to recover the nail .0347
cents, which is nearly five times the
value of an individual nail. There is
therefore considerable factor Of safety
in the original calculation, and we are
bound to believe that it will not pay to
pick up nails. Such calculation brings
out clearly the marvellous reduction in
prices due to inventive genius. The
lurking fallacy is that while it may not
pay to stoop for each nail it still may
be worth while for an economical man
at the end of his work to stoop down
once and sweep up in single handful
the nails he has been dropping all day.

A Time When Feminine Styles We're Pre-
ferred by Men.
In point of fact, the early medieval
man and woman looked as much alike as
the fin de steele wheelman and his BIZ
cycle girl. Take the king and queen in
pack Of cards. They are early media
val. Notice the surprising similarity
in their costumes-the same wide robes
and angular folds, the same stained
glass stiffness. Novioes at cards may be
excused for being at loss sometimes,
at least until they have learned to look
for the kings beard. aoi
With the wane of the age of chivalry
there came singular exaggeration in
the toilet of men, They deliberately
initiated the women. They allowed
their hair to grow long, cultivated curls
by the hot irons and ointments and ao-
tually wore chaplets, like diadems, to
curb their flowing locks. In the texture
and color of their garments they showed
the same effeminacy, for they began to
wear costly trimmings and jewelry.
This, too, was the age of the signing,
wailing lover, fainting at his mistress
frown. Every knight who could write
or sing posed as minstrel and re-
hearsed his love affairs. At every gath
ering of the nobility there was child
ish prattle of love, cloying and monoto-
nous for very sweetness The sexes
seemed to have changed places. 1t was
the lover who was shy wallflower,
who blushed and went about woeful
and woe worn from his secret passion.
AS we look over the poems Of the min
nesingers, those bards Of love, the lady
seems always unapproaohable, listening
with contemptuous mien to the gentle-
mans gentle advances. While he suo-
cumbs to nervous exhaustion she goes
about her business perfectly healthy,
either Indifferent or cruelty conscious of
her power. w. D. MoCracken in Lip

The story of we'll known bishop
