A Model of the Thames.

The popular attraction at the fisher
les and yachting exhibition, which is to
be opened by the Prince of Wales in a
day or two, will certainly be the ex-
ceedingly clever model of Father
Thames. The spectator will be able
to view our famous river from it's very
source in the Cotswold Hills down to
the More. Every three minutes, by an
ingenius arrangement, the tide will ebb
and flow, and flow and ebb. From fifty
little springs the clear water will spout
up from the bowels of the earth, away
in the COtsWold and Chiltern Valleys;
from dozen tributaries such as the
Thames and the Churn it will meander
gracefully down into Isis, into Thames
and Isis, and, finally, into Father
Thames himself. In it's unfinished state
the fifty or sixty taps which run along
the sides of hill and dale are also re-
Vealed with all their brazan faces. But
on Saturday these will all be hidden
from view; the Thames will flow
smoothly, naturally and accurately,
and on either side will be seen charm
ing landscapes, towns, hamlets and at
length the great city itself, with it's
most conspicuous buildings, bridges.

A PhiIOsOphic Sweep.

@The best thing I heard" writes
correspondent of the London Daily
News" ''in the great crowds which
thronged the streets of the West End
yesterday, came from the mouth of a
sweep. Rolling out of Piccadilly into
Berkeley street came one of those
splendid old family carriages, gorgeous
with golden lions and dragons, heavily
hung with maroon trappings, guarded
by two maroon fOotmen in the rear,
driven by burly maroon cOachman in
a curly wig, containing two visions in
white with lovely bouquets At that
moment the sweep l refer to and his
friend were emerging into Piccadilly,
with blackened faces and brushes, hav-
ing evidently just transacted some af-
fair of business, when this splendid
vehicle attracted their attention. Says
one: Bill, l wish we was themn
Why?' answered Bill, much surprised.
They'll have to die the same as u.s.

tions- of Marcus Aurelius' in search of
some more profound reflection upon the

DISCIPLE OF MELCHIZEDEK.
Strange Story of Penance Suggested
by the Rebellion.

Franz Miller, the hermit of Scarritt's
Bluff, is an original old character, who
is living in solitude for the sake of his
own peculiar religion. He calls him
self a follower of Melchizedek, the
king Of Peace says the Kansas City
World"
He was born in Alsace-Larraine six
ty-one years ago, When he was II
years old he came to the United States
and followed the profession of shoe
maker until the war broke out. when
he joined the Tenth United States In
fantry Regiment at Newport Barracks.
Ky. He fought through the war and
the terrible scenes on the battlefields
led him to thinking. He imagined he
had done wrong and that repentance
would be the only way to salvation He
started to do that by carrying by what
he called the black cross" for fifteen
years. During this time he was to
have no fixed abode. to accumulate no
property, to make no friends and to
shun mankind. He wandered back and
forth across the country and then one
night the spirit appeared to him
while he was walking between Armour
dale and Rosedale. He saw Satan in
a great red cloak, stangding on the
bluff. A moment later the shadow of
Melchizedek enveloped him. and Miller
knew he had been promoted to the
.'red cross order. He settled down
and ran a shoe shop in Kansas City.
near the Junction. Then he lived a
hermit's life in Weston, Mo-, and three
years ago he took up his abode in

cave excavated in the Scarritt Bluff
He has lived there since, alone and
happy.
Sometimes. he says, he earns as much
as 10 cents a day by picking rags, and
this sum suffices 10 buy bread and cof-
fee, his chief articles of sustenance. He
says he never begs The nurses in the
Scarritt Hospital would provide for
him, but he does not accept their hos
pitaiity. His aim in life, he says, is to
be at peace with the world and atone
for his sin in taking part in the war.
He never reads the newspapers, be-
cause they suggest worldly thoughts
to him. If Miller lived in a more civ
ilized way, he would be a handsome
man. AS it is his long hair and tan
gled beard, together with an evident
dislike for soap and water make him
look like the ideal hermit.

The mission Mr.. Reid has accepted is
one requiring much grace, tact and eX-

Mr.. Reid has twice declined the office
of Minister to Germany He is 80 years
old and thoroughly American. The New

WASTED ELOQUENCE.

An unusually good joke has leaked out at
the expense of one of st. Joseph's able ora
tors. who accepted an invitation TO speak at
Fourth of July celebration In a ncighboring
town. The celebration was all that was de-
sired, and the orator saw his opportunity and
made the best of it. He was in the midst or
his Grafton when point was reached where
the growth OF these great United States was
described. To make the effect more forcible,
the speaker pointed to woman who held u
baby in her arms. In fight Of impassioned
oratory no exclaimed:
Look NJ that innocent babe as IL nestlos IN
it's mothers arms; Just rs IL draws nourish-
ment from its mothers breast 10 sustain life,
so has the country drawn aid and support
from the gpeople who arc unfolding its integ-
rity and honor"
The orator observed that the woman with the
infant in her arms turned red, white and blue
in the face. but he took IL To be an outburst
OF genuine patriotism. A second glance,
however. indicated that something was
wrong. At the conclusion Of the address the
orator was advised by wel-moaning friends 70
keep out Of the way of the woman 10 whom
ne had directed his remarks. Inquiry brought
ont the fact that she was n confirmed old
maid who had not spoken 10 "A man for at
least seven years. She was merely holding tho
