A Floating Hermit,

Hermits who make their homes in
the caves and forests of California are
plentiful, but a hermit who makes his
home on the water is not so common.
The first one that has ever been seen
in the bay of San Francisco is now liv-
ing in small scow, or ark, in the
cove near Black Point. There he
spends his days, and with the eXcep-
ton of an occasional drifting cruise
along the front in small skiff he
never leaves the home he has made on
the old, battered craft, which is named
Southern Pacific"
Every morning, rain or shine, he is
up before sunrise. Climbing a ladder
raised against an impromptu mast he
reaches a small platform. On this he
kneels and begins his morning prisons.
First he sings hymn. Sometimes his
voice can be heard, chanting the
melody at Black Point, and at other
times he can barely he heard by the
fishermen who are waiting the turn of
tide in Black Point Cove. Then he
will read chapter from the Bible,
and after that he prays that the king
dom of the Messiah may come and that
heaven be established on earth. If it
is fine morning the sun by this time
is we'll up in the heavens and the sun
rise gun has been fired half an hour
previously. The hermit descends from
his lofty perch and pumps out his frail
craft, in order TO keep her ahoat for
enother twenty-four hours. San Fran
cisco Call.

Fourteen years ago, recalls the New

The appalling result was that Hicks

man destroyed on the field of battle
by the enraged legions of heprophet.
All Europe and the East shuddered at
this frightful disaster, which weakened
the rdle of the Khedive. shook tho
Sultan's throne and carried dismay to
the holy places of Mecca. The army
of the Mahdi at Ell Obeid numbered
100000 men, dervishes, Bedouins,
mulattoes and some regular troops
supplied with firearms. King Meme.

A TOUCH OF A 1EAp.YnAR HAND.

At 8 o'clock last Saturday evening
Algernoon stood at the front door of
the house of the girl he loved, but to
whom he dared not say the word.
For long time he had been spar
ring for points, but to the bashful
these things do not appear in clear
light, even though they clearly exist.
He had rung the bell once, twice,
thrice, but there had been no answer.
Nervously he stretched forth his
hand to ring again when the door was
opened by the one being in all the
world who made his life worth living.
"Why, Algernon," she exclaimed,
'if / had thought it was you l
wouldn't have kept you standing out
in the cold SO long"
He thought of how long he had
been standing out in the cold and
wondered when the courage would
come to him to go in out of it.
"You know" she continued as she
drew him inside and closed the door,
"that the servants are out tonight,
and some of the family have to answer
the front door bell.
He thought he saw a chance to make
start in the right direction without
alarming her. That had been the
trouble all the time with Algernon
he was in mortal terror Of frightening
the girl by some emotional precipit-
ancy or other, and thus destroying
his hopes forever.
"Why, Miss Dora, he said in ten
der, insinuating tones, don't you
know my ring YETI"
She looked down at her empty fin
gers, where no ieweled sitting shone,
and then looked up into Algernon's
face
"No, Algernon, she said, blushing,
81 do not. But don't you think it is

Curious Prehistoric Monkeys.

In several places in the Cape Colony
and Orange Free State of South Africa
caves have been explored which yielded
hundreds of mummiGed remains OF u
queer species of six-fngered monkeys.
All Of the full-grown specimens OF
this remarkable species OF quadru-
mana have the tail situated high-on
the back from three to five inches
further up than that on the mo lern
monkey-and other distinguishing
marks, such as two sets ot canine
teeth, boards on the males, etc.
Whether these creatures,were mummi-
fed by human beings, who formerly
held them in reverence, or were over
taken by some catastrophe, such as a
sudden convulsion of nature or a
cataclysm which entombed them in
their caves, and thus preserved them,
is a secret that can never be known. -
