II had novel experience with street

at the corner of Broadway and Vcsey
street at lato hour waiting for cable
car. A young man asked mo for 10 cents.
l usually turn away from these people,
but in this case, do not know why, said
to the beggar: Il have only quarter of u
dollar If you will take it and get it
changed, l will give you 10 cents. l will
trust you He must have seen that was
no farmer No farmer l over heard of
would take such chance.
"He took the piece, scampered across
tho triangle in front of the postoilice and
over to an all night eating house. I saw
him come out and watched him go into

was back There you arc, sir he said,
two dimes, one 2 cent postage stamp and

Through the carelessness of the
gateman at the Fourth street CROSS
ing of the p, w. g. B. Railroad,
John w. Kirby and young grand
daughter narrowly escaped death
yesterday afternoon, by being run
down by shifting engine. Mr..
Kirby had been to Fourth street
wharf and as he approached the
railroad the gateman raised the
gate to allow him to cross, but did
notraise the west gate, thereby pen
ming Mr.. Kirby in. The bell of the
rapidly approaching engine alarmed
Mr.. Kirby considerably, but instea
of losing his presence of mind, he
hurried his horse over the tracks
and against the gate, which was
raised only after he had called on
the gateman loudly. The engine
passed just as Mr.. Kirby drove I'M
der the gate.

THE STORMY PETREL,~>
1t Coos to It's Eggs and Hntches Them
With Song.

It Coos to It's Eggs and Hntches Them
With Song.
Tho stormy petrcls nest Just above the
Atlantic surge on the islcts near Iona and
the Hebrides. There above tho rock on
certain islands in O black, buttery soil, in
which they burrow like winged mice, each
one will lay one white egg
AS this desertion of the regions of light
and air by birds is something outside the
natural course of their lives, it leads to
various odd and unexpected social compll-
cations and domestic problems.
Among the latter is a serious one, the
difficulty of keeping the underground
house clean or moderately cool. 1t is usu-
ally very hot. Sand martins, for instance,
do not attempt to ventilate their burrows
as rabbits and rats do, neither do king
fishers nor the stormy petrels when they
make their own burrows and do not creep
into chinks between piles of stones or
rocks Evidence of the high temperature
of this shot chamber" where tho young
petrcls are Matched is seen in very pretty
popular belief in tho outer Hebrides.
The people say that they hatch their
eggs not by sitting on them, but by sit
ting near them, at distance of six inches,
between them and the opening of the bur.
row. Then the pctrels turn their heads
toward the eggs and 1000" at them day
and night and SO "hatoh them with their
song" This, which sounds like fable
of the east Atlantic Islands, has really
basis in fact. Mr.. Davenport Graham
says that the account is livery correct
Though I never heard the cooling noise by
day, often did in the evening. 1t is
rather purring noise. When its nest is
opened up, the bird is usually found cow
ering q few inches away from its egg"
This hot and stuffy atmosphere may aid
the Matching of the eggs but there is no
doubt that it brings into being other and
very undesirable forms of life Tho nests
and burrows of sand martins arc full Of
most unpleasant insects, and those of the
kingtisher are nearly as bad.

Brignoli once agreed to sing solo at
church in New York city. He came in
late, and after divesting himself of many
coverings, tumbling over music racks and
exasperating the choir by trying his voice,
he came to the conclusion that he was
ready. BY this time, however, tho sermon
had commenced, but Brignoli, unabashed,
leaned over the choir ratings and tried to
attract the attention of the preacher by
shaking his head and gcstioulating with
his hands. At last he called out in a voice
which was audible for some distance: me
ready for 20 sing Stoppa 20 prcachl

REVEALS in PIONEER DAYS,
The Preachers Frequent Armful of
WOmen's Corset RuslSs

the Preacher's Frequent Armful OF
WOmen's Corset BuslSs.
"Revival work." said the professor,
isn't what it was in the old time. The
life Is different, and religious experience Is
different. l have not heard a man or wo-
man shout in church for 40 years, and yet
/ can remember when a service or meet
ing was not counted much of n meeting If
some good sister did not shout This
word meant spontaneous outcry, in state
of excitement and happiness too great for
utterance in common words, and which
found expression in historical shouts and
joyful cxclamhtions. A great preacher
would stir crowd to conviction, an ex.
hortcr would make an impassioncd appeal,
some, emotional woman would DO asked to
pray. and soon the shouting would begin.
1.-The good woman, kneeling OH the floor
and with head bowed would begin in
voice understandable but as she proceed
ed her voice would become louder and
stronger, her figure would become erect,
until finally in the very ecstasy of excite
ment she would cry aloud in her rejoicing.
Her shouts would be greeted by exclama-
tons of Amen! and Glory to God!' and
then there would be handshaking, singing
and chorus of ecstatic EXPLANATIONS.
Before such wild wave of excitement had
expended its force dozens and scores would
be at the mourners' bench, surrounded by
the rejoicing church members.
81 have heard my father relate most
wonderful experiences in northern Ohio,
where, i'll the old time, it was the rule for
church congregations to be greatly moved.
1t was the custom then for women to wear
husks, Or corset boards, instead of stays or
corsets. These busks were made of pliable
hickory, but they compelled woman to
sit very straight and imposed some limita-
tions on FREQ movements. My father said
that frequently after q meeting in which
there had been excitement and shouting
he had gathered up an armful of corset
boards which the women in their frenzy
had drawn from their dresses and thrown
under their seats and forgotten. Chi
