the eighties was not a lucky move He

HUNG IN MIDAIR.

The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi Et nese Thibet.
 ptAn amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement . the traveller was compelled to agree, In few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge. P The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

Kleptomania.

To believe French writer, there are no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.
 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration The sum of $9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost 6,0O0, ,OOO, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50, 100000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river. and one can easily see the startling nature of a union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

A Periodically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

A Pathetically Humorous story Ioiu oA Q
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber- land farmer The writer had lent Jack A few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out to the fence.
 "Hello,' I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 'Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long,"
 'You must be doing well?''
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 "I'm always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez I am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 "No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; 'but I'm losin' it slower'n I ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

Mr.. Gale 10 Men Only.

No one Will doubt that the spirit Of the
Almighty moved on the atmosphere OF
the meeting at the Baptist church, sun
day evening, or that His will was in that
sublime destiny which brought out of the
darknes OF worldly life the bright light of
hope TO the many who responded 10 the
invitation OF Evangelist Gale to seek a
better life
As usual. the great church was hacked
TO the doors by such a crowd of such "a
class a one does not often see In church,
for by ludiclous distribution OF tickets
Of admission, the evening being devoted
TO men only, the audience was made up
mostly of those who do not regularly at
tend church. Mr. Gaze was in his best
form, he was plain, he went into still
palmer details of the life Of the worldly
man, he was apt IN his illustrations, he
painted the dark, gloomy picture of life
in words burning with pathos and touch
ing in their application. he brought 10
view the pertldy and helIishness of a life
devoted 10 self; then he reversed the pict
ure and painted the glories Of the future
as promised to those who walk in the
light OF His countenancc Mr.. Gale told
several stories Of the lifes experience of
sinful men who had latterlv come to
Christ. The duty of man TO his family.
to himself and 70 his God. was dweit upon
with intense feeling. The story OF the
young man in college who denied recogni-
tion to his father. who had come on to sec
him, because the father was lily dressed
and the son was ashamed to acknowledge
him before his companions, was of inter
est in its force and its application to the
denial Of Christ before worldly compan-
Ions. Then the story of the other Young
man in college who had been helped to
his education by his mother, how he had
drawn the first houors and was to deliver
the grafton, and in his great love for that
mother, though she wore hut miserable
calico dress, he put her in the first row OF
seats, and when the hall rang with the
paudits at his oratorical effort, the son
held the mother to the view of all and ac-
knowledged her rs the one responsible for
his great attaintments. The story. told
In the splcndidly couched words of the
speaker, brought the scene out i'm the
most vivid form and moved strong men
TO tears This story was applied to the
strong-minded man who is not ashamed to
acknowledge Jesus Tears flowed all
through the vast audience and the man
who went there to stay but "a few min
utss" was from interest, new born and
sincere, compelled to remain to the end of
the meeting
The pertinent questions asked by Mr.
Gale relative to the reason why men
should not be Christians, were fun of
force. cntreaty and sympathy. and while
the congregation sang soft and low Just
rs | Am, many expressed their desire to
be Christians upon the invitation of the
evangelist.

Wards restaurant, the proprietor of
which is Frank NJ. Leavitt, looked, Sun
day night, as ifa fire had occurred, and part
Of the establishment had been gutted.
The reason for boards being placed in the
front Of the store was that the plate glass
was broken, Sunday noon. 1t happened
in a very peculiar manner, us follows
On the top Of the building was large
quantity of snow. An awning was over
the window and when the snow became
restless, desiring to leave its short resi-
dence on the roof, in falling, struck the
awning, which caused the fastenings to get
loose. One of the fastenings struck the
plate glass window in the very center
and that window will be a total loss. Mr.
Leavitt says it will cost 800 to havea new
one placed in position. The glass WAS
fully insured in Bailey's agency.
