MIRACLE BOY.
The Little Lad Whom French Peas
ants are WOrshinning.


ants are Worshipping.
% From the south of France there
comes an indication that many people
have returned to a belief in miracles.
Wonderful and startling things are
being done there by boy who seems
possessed of supernatural powers.
He is mere child in years, and al
ready his fame has spread abroad
through France, and the inhabitants
are flocking to the town in which he
lives to witness the strange doings.
The peasantry swarm after him and
regard him with awe and veneratiOn.
The boy through whom these re-
markable manifestations have been
made is Paulin DelpOint. He is but
8 years old and lives at LarOque, in.
the remote wilds of Cevennes, in one
of the most out of the way places in
the country, says the Boston Globe"
This boy, never having been away
from the hamlet for a single day, and
using only the patois of the district
in communicating with those about
him, speaks perfect French, and,
more wonderful still, the purest Latin.
Not at any and all times can he do
this. It's only when in peculiar
state in which he seems to complete
ly lose his personality and identity
that he can do these things.
When in that state he has told also
of versions of saints that he has had.
st. Joseph occurs frequently in the
visions, according to the boys nara
tons.
AS an example of his peculiar pow
ers is his stating as a fact what has
been tradition of the town for CEN
turtles. In the town is the old church
of st. Amans, and surrounding the
structure tower in which bells had
once summoned the wOrshippers to
service.
The bell-tOwer has been silent for
century or more because the bells
had been taken out. The townSfolk
had long been divided on the question
as to whether the bells had ever
swung in the tower
On one occasion, when in an eXalt-
ed state, young Delpont announced
that tradition was right, and that not
only had bells been rung in the old
tower but the very bells that had
swung there had been buried in the
ground near the church. He indicat-
ed the spot where they had been bur-
led, and almost Immediately men
were digging at the spot.
Delpont told them that in digging
they would first encounter two skele-
tons, and the bells would be uncover
ed little farther down. True to his
predictions. The diggers unearthed
the skeletons, just where Del
pont said they would be found They
continued the work with fevefish ca
gerness, mad soon the bells, as describ-
ed by the child, were exposed to view.
The peasants fell to worshipping him
on the instant.

Ii HUNG CHANG ON MARRIAGE.

New York Times.
Here's short sermon that the
viceroy delivered to one pretty young
woman who told him that she wasn't
married: "a woman can afford to be
capriciOus as long as she is young;
but even American women, beautiful
as they are, must eventually grow
old. Time creeps on, even in the
cases of the fairest, and when a wo-
man reaches 40 years she will find she
cannot make the conquests she did
at 30. Every woman should get mar
ried. Marriage is her mission, and
she will be happier with a good hus-
band than alone, wandering about the
world"
