LIKE THEY DO AT A CIRCUS.

The performance of the comic opera,
which was being rendered by the tai
entsd amateurs of Hawville, Okla
homa, had been going on for consid-
erable time without hitch or Interrupt
tion, when suddenly Alkali Ike, the
affianced husband OF Miss Lille Gu
sack, the prima donna of the occasion,
rose up in the midst Of the cultured
and refined audience, with a loud
snort of wrath.
"Yere, nov, Ike" demonstrated
Colonel Handy Polk, who was ofiiciat-
ing as stage manager and also acting
as the heavy villain of the opera.

Brought TO Light.

At a general election in England, a
candidate personally unknown to the
voters of q certain borough was asked
by party leaders to stand for it. He
belonged to a good family, and was
barrister of promise in London. His
path to success was open, as the
borough belonged to his party. But
when he mounted the platform to
address the electors, after a sentence
or two he suddedly became pale and
confused, his eyes fixed on board OPP
posite on which was scrawled with
charcoal, Forty pounds" He
stumbled through short speech, and
then hurriedly left the stand.
A few days later he rose to speak in
another town, and again the myster-
ious words written in black on the
wall confronted him. Again he left
the platform, and that night retired
from the contest for the seat in Parlia
ment. Not long afterward he disap-
peared from public life, and retired to
an English colony where he hid him
self on ranch. The words, it was
found, referred to a theft committed
in his youth, which he supposed had
been forgotten.
Alexis Piron, the French poet and
satirist, sought for many years to OBJ
tain seat among the Forty Immortals
in the French Academy. He was rec
ognized among the poets of his day,
and was confident of his ultimate ad-
mission, when vile ode, written when
he was n boy, was brought to light,
and he knew that the door of the
Academy was closed in his face for
ever.
In both of the great political parties
of this country there have been in
stances of men eminent in mental abil-
ity, who have failed to. receive the high
political honors, because of the
shadow of some fault or folly of their
earlier days.
Behind all the happiness of life, be.
hind even Gods love, there is such a
thing as law. "Who breaks it always
pays the penalty" God may forgive
him, but the lines on his face, the
taint in his soul, remain to tell of the
vice of his early day Youths Com

THE OLD cHuR IN BELL.

High up DER the heads Of the people
That pass like vague ships on the street
1t hangs in its home in the steeple,
That throbs with the winds rhythmic beat;
What heeds 1t the world or It's noises2
What recks II Of tranic's loud din2
OF tears, or the clamor of voices
That speak Of the light hearts within2
Enough that its duty is ringing
In every condition of weather,
Enough that its mission is bringing
The spiritual household together;
Enough that 1t strikes for the hours
That speed in n neer-ending chain,
And chimes over nuptial flowers,
And tolls for the funeral train.
Enough that 1t speaks to the mothers
In clear, unmistakable tones,
And fathers and sisters and brothers,
From all the earth's populous zones;
Enough that II brings to the altar
The ones who have strayed from the truth
As we'll as the weak ones who falter
Mid trials unknown in their youth
So there, while the pale stars are marching,
And rivers roll on to the sea,
And heavens blue vault is o'er-arching,
The bell in ifs belfry will be;
And then, when its mission is ended;
And turned is the last burial sod,
Its echoes full-toned will be blended
With trumpets that call us to God.

Attacked bY Whales.

Captain Mitchell, of the steamer tug
Thomas j. Smith, which arrived here
from sea, having in tow the bone-laden
Italian bark, from Buenos Ayres,
which she picked up to the southwark
of Fenwick Island, reports having
been attacked by a tremendous school
of whales while cruising forty miles
southeast of Cape Henlopen. The
whales surrounded the tug for period
of four hours, blowing large streams
of water into the air, which com
pletely shut out all view of the sur.
roundings. Captain Mitchell says
that in thirty years service NJ
sea on tugs he never before saw such
large whales, nor were they ever
known to congregate in such numbers
so close to the land. 1t was serious
time ON board the frail tug, and all
hands were badly scared, as these
monsters seemed infuriated aud dashed
along the sides of the boat with great
force. Captain Mitchell ran the en-
gines full speed and attempted to get
clear of the school, but the huge
marine animals followed the tug, al
most swamping her with the immense
volumes of water they threw on board.
Finding that any attempt to get away
from them was futile, Captain Mitchell
loaded up a large horse-pistol lie Ia |
on board and began firing into them,
but the bullets took no effect One
monster he put six shots into, but it
only infuriated the animal still more.
1t was about o'clock in the afternoon
when the leader of the school headed
off shore, aud soon the whole number
followed aud disappeared.-Philad

Speaking of the harvest outlook,
the New York Herald says that winter
wheat fared very badly, but the loss is
considerably repaired by spring wheat,
the average condition of which is
1922, and for all wheat the average
condition is 7G.2---flgures which indi.
cate that the total wheat yield will be
over 400, 600, 900 bushels. from three
fourths to four-ffths of an average
harvest. Tho average condition of
corn is 1913, and the acreage 1913, as
compared with the area planted in
1894. The largest corn crop ever pro-
duced in the United States was 2,060,
600 bushels, in 1891. But If the
present estimates of the Department
of Agriculture prove to be correct tho
corn crop of 1895 will break even this
record.

Metal Workers OF Asia.

Among the half civilized peoples Of
Central Asia are many artistic workers
in metals. One of these Nations or
tribes, the Burates, is famous for in
laid work. The Russians call these
workmen "Bratskaya Robata." They
use gold, tin and silver for inlaid work
on iron. The art has been practiced
by them for thousands of years, and
their skill has been recorded in the
ancient folk songs of ASIA. A writer
describing their work say they ham
mer the silver, gold or tin very thln.
Then the part of the object to be iu-
laid is made rough with a hammer,
the surface of which is rougheuel like
n file. Templets of birch bark serve
to cut the metal into the proper shape,
which is laid upon the heated object
and lightly hammered into tho rough
surface, then heated to blue color,
and the inlaid metal is hammered
smooth with polished hammer

The Poison OF the Ornithorhynchus.

The hind feet of the ornithorhynch-
us. "the mole with webbed feet and
the bill of a duck" that puzzed ZOO
logists so much for long time, are
provided with solid spur connected
with a gland. Have we here poison
gland? From some apparently trust
worthy accounts that have reached him,
Mr.. Stewart thinks we have. This
gland Is at least venomous at IA certain
season. A dog was wounded by oae
of these apurs three times, aud the
symptoms the first time were those OF
pain and somnolence, but there were
no convulsions, titubations or tremb.
ling. Upon the two other occasions,
the symptoms were less pronounced,
and even null, thus indicating habitu-
alton. The poison has proved mortal
to the dog in four cases, but in man
the symptoms disappear without caus.
ing death. .-Scientih American.

is that 1T was originated by the Prince

The New York Ledger maintains
that the secret of China's downfall is
in her insulation, which has lasted for
thousands of years, and strongly re-
pelled all exterior influences. She
marked time while the West marched
past, and her rude awakening has
come from Western forces via Japan
that is the eexact truth of the situation.
Perhaps the agonies she has endured
in the late war may be the birth 'throes
of a nobler National existence for
China. Certainly, if the rulers were
not so blind, there is not a more
patient, quiet, enduring man than the
Chinaman. and unpopular though it
may be to say so, We believe that the
last word has not yet been spoken,
nor the last gun fred, in the struggle
for Asiatic supremacy, The Jap is
the Frenehman of Asia the Chinaman
is the German, Germany knew the
bitterness of Jena, aud saw Napoleon
enter Berlin. But she also knew how
TO wait, and Sedan followed on Ber'
lin. History has always repeated
ITSELF If China really awakes, she
will be heard Of an irrepressiYe style
