 Three days ago Father Mcise was too unwell to preach, and another priest took his place.

ALICE AND LEWIS CARROLL.
The Heroine of "WOnderland" Recalls
the First Telling of Her Adventures


the First Telling of Her Adventures.
From the st. James Gazette.
Mrs. Reginald Hargreaves, the original
Alice of Alice in Wonderland" sends us
an interesting letter regarding the origin
OF the famous book to which she has given
her name.
Most of Mr.. Dodgson's stories," writes
Mrs. Hargreaves. were told to us on river
expeditions to Nuneham or Godstow, near
Oxford. My eldest sister, now Mrs. Skene,
beginning of 'Alice's Adventures in Won
derland.' l was Secunda, and Tertia was
NY sister Edith. / believe the beginning
of Alice was told one summer afternoon,
when the sun was so burning that we had
landed in the meadows down the river
deserting the boat to take rafuge in the
only bit of shade to be found, which was
rrder new-made hayrick. Here from all
three came the old petition of Tell us a
stcry'-and so began the ever-delightful
tale. Sometimes, to tease us-and, perhaps,
being really tired-Mr. Dodgson would stop
suddenly and say, And that's all till the
next time 'Ah, but 1t is next time,
would be the exclamation from all three,
and after some persuasion the story would
start afresh. Another day, perhaps, the
story would begin in the boat. and Mr..
DOdgson In the middle of telling a thrill
ing adventure, would pretend to go fast
asleep. to our great dismay.
Il have often thought with gratitude and
wonder OF the unvarying kindness and good
nature shown to us. Alice's adventures
were first written down in answer to my
teasing wish to possess the story In book
fcrm- Long before 1 can remember in
the intervals between photographing one
or other of us, Mr.. Dodgson would make
quaint drawings in the style of Father
William and fit them to a story he told as
the drawings were made. Sheets of these
were treasured by me, but, alas! none re-

Refused to Serve n Spanish OmeIette
From the Charleston (w. ya.) Gazette
Last night guest at the Hotel Peyton
ordered a Spanish omelette for his supper.
The waiter took the order. but soon came
back and told the guest he would have to
take his eggs some other way as the pa
triotic cooks had refused to make any more
Spanish omelettes until Spain apologies
to the United States. The guest heartily
indorsed the cooks position and changed
his order. Col. George L. Peyton, the pro-
prietor, will not be outdone in patriotism
by his cooks, and will take the Spanish

A StOwaway's Fix.
From the Boston Transcript.


George Ferguson. a stowaway, who was
held on board the steamer Barrowmore to
be returned TO England, got himself into
an uncomfortable position last night while
attempting to escape. He tried to crawl
through the dead light of the room in
which he was confil- and drop overheard
but after getting his shoulders through
he stuck fast. He could not get his hips
through the hole, and neither could he
draw his shoulders back, and he hung
there half inside and half outside of the
ship. 1t took only a short time to con-
vince him that escape was impossible and
then he began to shout for aid, but the
noise made in loading the ship prevented
!.is cries from being heard, and 1t was
not until he had been in his unpleasant po-
sition for nearly three hours that any help
came to him. The seamen of the Barrow
more tried in every way to eXtricate him,
but without effect. They pulled him back
ward by the legs and forward by the arms
and covered his body with grease to pre-
vent 1t from sticking, but it was not until
some one thought of unscrewing the brass
out, and then the frame came out with
MIN and had to be cut of with a saw. 1t
was o'clock when he tried to make his
escape. and it was nearly l. when he was
taken out, so that he was thoroughly ex-
haustcd and good deal bruised. He will

THE PRESIDENT AND PEACE.
interesting Statement From Him to m
Delegation of Friends

A Baltimore, Md, dispatch to the Nav
York Tribune. dated yesterday, says:
A delegation of representative members
of the Society of Friends returned TODAY
from Washington, where they had an i'm
portant interview with President Mckinley
and presented to him an appeal from the
Friends Union for Philanthropic Iahor
urging disarmament, arbitration and sun
preston of the military spirit The Prasi-
t 9ent asked the Friends how much Of the
fnllpplne Islands they thought should be-
held, and they replied simply a base of
supplies. The President then said:
In order to do that a standing army
would be required. 1t is a Ques tion with
me how much destiny there is in the Dros-
ent situation and what is our duty 10 these
people My mind is open. No decision has

Buddhist m in Burmah.
From the Spectator.


Some sailors on board of her majesty
ships at Rangoon obtained leave OF ap-
sence to go into the interior and lost thelr
way. short time afterward they were
brought back by some Burmans. who had
fed them and showed them the way home.
The Burmans Immediately returned TO
their village, and though the then chief
commissioner the late Sir Charles Aitchi-
son. endeavored to find them in order to
reward them | believe he never succeeded.
1t caused good deal of comment in Ran
goon at the time. L think it is interesting,
as showing the effect of the teaching of
Buddha and how it saves the Burman
from that "lust of gain which, as you
say, has taken so strong a hold of our
civilization" though / sometimes found it
inconvenient living in a land where the
people are SO utterly Indifferent to money.

FROM the Youths Companion.
Among the animals held sacred by the an
cient Egyptians was the ichneumon or
mongoos, which, because of its fondness
1of the eggs of crocodiles and snakes,
proved valuable in keeping those obnoxious
animals from multiplying too fast Rev.
Chauncy Naples, a missionary to E,a ST
Africa, describes the way in which this pe-
culiar animal. which in size and general an
pearance somswhat resembles the cat dis
poses of it's favorite article of diet.
The mongoos, en- receiving an egg imme-
diately goes to a wall, and, turning it's back
to it, takes the egg in its fore paws and
throws it backward between its legs
against the wall so as to break it. 1t tL en-
sucks the shell dry.
The funny thing is that whatever we give
1T that looks like an egg-say an old bcne
or a stone--ft evidently mistakes for an
egg, and treats it accordingly. 1t is yeIy
ridiculous to see it, for hours together, t1y-
ing to break a round stone or a bone 5v
