WhimsicnI Exrerimant.

Akbar, one of the first of tho great mo-
guls who ruled India, has been named the
Asiatic Charlemagno. Flo was states
man and an educator and built a palace
for the reception of men who loved learn
ing and sought after wisdom. The great
mogul's passion for knowledge is said to
have been shown by whimsical expert
ment he once made to determine If it was
true, as he had heard, that Hebrew wss
the natural language Of all who had never
been taught any othor tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused q
dozen nursing children to be shut up in n
castle six leagues from Agra, his capital
city. Each child was reared by dumb
nurse The porter also was a mute, and
he was forbidden, upon pain Of death, to
open the gates of the castle. When the
children were 12 years of age, Akbar or
dsfsd them to be brought before him.
Mon learned in Sanskrit, In Arabic, In
Persian and in Hebrew were assembled at
the royal palace to tell what language the
children spoke. Akbar, seated on his
throne and surrounded by these lin9uists,
ordered the children to be brought I'm.
Each child was addressed, and, to tho sur
prise of the assembly, every one answered
by q sign. Not q child could speak a
word. They had all learned from their
nurses to express themselves by gesturesl

Followed His Hypnotixcr About the Room
For Three Weeks.
Tho following extraordinary history ID
told by Mr. Gould and is says the Lon
don Gentlewoman, worth repeating:
On cool October day, while walking
In tho park, / saw large black and
orange butterfly apparently dead. I put
Is In an envelope carefully and took it
home. laying il upon the table. Some
hours after heard a sort of scratching
sound and found that IL came from the
envelope, out of which then took the
butterfly, quite revived by tho warm room
and looking most beautiful
The question then was how to feed it
for / wished to keep it as pet-and I
put some strip made of white sugar and
water in a tiny saucer and gently took
the insect by the shoulders, first folding
back his wings. Then / took small nee
die. and passing the head of it very gently
through the curlod proboscis slowly I'M
rolled it till the end fell in the strip.
After he had had his fill lot him 60
and he polished his fore feet and antenn@
and then flew about quite happy. / con-
tinued TO feed him thus for three days.
and on the fourth, when L put out my
hand to take him, no flew upon it and st
once began TO cat Of his own accord.
This went on for about three weeks, and
he became really quite pet, flying to me
and settling on my chest, arms or hands,
and if l put him on table and drew my
finger along he would follow it like kit
ten, not flying but marching slowly after
it, and then whom L left tho table he
would turn his head as knowing as a
child or animal.
In three weeks his bright ooloripg and
gloss grew dull, wrinkles appeared on tho
body and wings, and after eating he was
less particular in pluming himself. Then
his appetite failed and his strength also.
The three days before his death he was
constantly in my hand, and there he died

cts passing strange" Right after the

for manuscripts retaining such contribut-

pocketed snug sum from the transaction.

House Ia Fairly Well Filled


The attenance at the Armory opera

,ormance OF the Marquette lady MINISTRIES
vas not a. large az the merits OF the per-
iormance really deserved. although the
house was fairly well filled. The aud
lance was made up OF our representative
nsople. and from the manner they ap-
pIauded different numbers they enjoyed
the performances immensely. The men,
hers OF the company, which is made up
Of some OF Marquette's representative
young ladies, took their parts with ease
and precision which would do credit TO
many professionals. The jokes and sing.
ing in the first part were excellent and
were well received. The jokes were nearly
all new. and on several occasions the
names OF Houghton society gentlemen
were brought in with gooo effect. The
rendition Of "Punkin Colored Coons" by
Pckaninny Pansy was beautifully rend-
cred and captivated the audience. The
little xiTi udb q BWcoU yoiCo uuu ucr dTtic-
ulation is exceptionally good for one so
young. Goal Black Lady" "Swell
Coons" and Egyptian Cymbal Dance we're
we'll received and rapturously applauded.
The song by Nanny Johyson. in the old
Kentucky home scene, was pleasing in
the extreme and the voice that issued
from the dusky throat OF old Nanny was
marvellous, SO sweet were the strains.
it captured the audience, who applauded
until the encore was responded to.
Throughout the performances Topsy
Primrose and Dinah West were the iav-
orites. Taking all in all the performance
was a very creditable one and was lar
ahead OF the Iron Minstrels OF Ishpeming
who played here few weeks ago. To
night the company play at Calumet and
we can recommend the company to the
people OF that place as being good one
and worthy OF their patronage. The
performance was the most novel given
here for some, and was pleasing relief
TO the general run OF minstrel shows.
