Queer Oaths.

The Isle Of Man, like the soldier In
jacques familiar speech, is "full Of
strange oaths." MI. Shee, @. c., before
beginning his judicial duties as special
commissioner in connection with the
Dunbell case vas required to swear
that he would administer justice as
impartially las the behring's backbone
doth lie in the middle of the fish," The
Isle of Man is not the only place in the
world in which the animal kingdom
plays a part in the making Of oaths.
One of the many modes in which Chi
nese witnesses are impressed with
the Importance of telling the truth is
slicing off the head Of a fowl, a cere-
mony which is supposed to represent
the unhappy fate Of the perjurer. Many
Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers
skins, in the belief that if they defle
their lips with lies their bodies will
become food for tigers, while others
stand on lizards skins and ask that
their bodies shall be covered with the
scales Of the reptiles if they fail to tell
the truth. A Norwegian witness asks
that his meadows and cattle shall be
cursed If he swears falsely. Cursed
be my CATTLE" he exclaims, my beasts,
my sheep, so that after this day they
may never thrive or benefit me; yea,
cursed may l be and everything I pos
sess."-London Globe.

He Didn,t write fine story.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press says that when the late R. e. A.
Dorr was on the staff Of the. Baltimore
American news came one day to the
city editor that food in the Seven Foot
Knoll lighthouse, out in Chesapeake
bay, "a exhausted and that the keep
er and his family were starving. Dorr
secured a custom house tug and loaded
it with provisions. The weather was
exceptionally cold, and the tug was
stuck in the ice half a mile from the
knoll. Dorr left the boat and started
over the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse, he
was warmly greeted. "Come in the
dining room," said the keepers wife
after the rescuer had warmed himself.
"Come in and have dinner with u.s."
Mr.. Dorr thought that hunger had
made her mad. II heard that you
needed food" stammered Mr.. Dorr as
soon as he could speak.
"Well, come to think Of it." replied
the housewife, "we do. We have plen-
ty of meat and vegetables, flour and
that sort, but the next time you are
coming out this way we'd appreciate it
If you'd bring over q few jars of ounce
JAM" she added cheerfully.
Mr.. Dorr took his provisions back to
Baltimore, but no account of his trip
was written.

Cyclone Franks.


A traveller in the west, the Rev. @. T.
Brady, says that of all the manifesto
lions of power he ever witnessed, from
an earthquake down, a cyclone is the
most appalling. The midnight black
ness of the funnel, the lightning dart
ing from it in inconceivable fierceness,
the strange cracking sound from its
bosom, the ~suddenness Of it's irresisti-
BILE attack, it's incredibly swift motion,
its Wild leaping and bounding, like a
gigantic beast Of prey, the awful roar
which follows, all this but feebly char
acterizes that strange ravager Of the
plains. He continues:
The cyclone plays odd pranks. I
have seen two horses lifted in air and
carefully deposited, unframed, in a
field about an eighth of a mile away.
I have seen chickens and geese picked
clean of feathers and yet feebly alive.
One house, l remember, had a hole
ten feet in diameter cut out Of it's roof,
as If by a circular saw. I have seen
the black, whirling cloud lift a build
ing and shake it to pieces, as one
shakes a pepper box. One Of the
worst cyclones l ever knew threw a
heavy iron safe about as a child might
tossA wooden alphabet block in play.
1t is an irresponsible as well as an
almost omnipotent monster, and it
seems to love the hideous jokes Of its
own c0ncocting.

Boston,s "Little Italy"

The Boston Transcript says that Bos-
toms "Little Italy" is established in the
very quarter where Paul Revere lived
and whence he bore the message Of
the belfry. The Old North square rip
pies with the color and music Of for
eign faces and tongues. The Old North
church itself cannot have far to go
to neighbor with Franciscan chapels
and Roman Catholic c%athedrals, the
whole medley of a, foreign world usurp-
ing that place where once Puritanism
reigned supreme.
They say that the Boston Italians are
very thrifty, that from being good rent
payers they r becoming notable prop
erty buyers. They are a music loving
and art loving people. go to the
Museum of Fine Arts on the free days
and see these same Italians, in their
rags and hobnail shoes. men, women
and children, standing before the finest
things in the gallery and approaching
them"
And that sight reminds a writer in
The Transcript Of a shabby cabman
in Florence who always carried his
G~erusalemma Liberata in his coat
pocket and whose passion was for the
preservation of the Italian tongue in
its purity, las only the Siennese now
preserve it, signorina."

Trying Il Donkey.


A newcomer in Africa has many
surprises. A. B. Lloyd, the author of
dwarf Land and Cannibal Country ,
narrates an amusing little experience
of his own in purchasing a donkey in
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
means an easy task. OF course each
one had to be tried, as we were to use
them for riding purposes, and in the
course Of the work we had various ex-
periences. l had set my mind upon a
fine female donkey and took her out
for an afternoons ride. I shall not
forget it. At first when l mounted her
she would not move, in spite Of all
my most tender persuasions, and final
~ she began to back.
Now, the streets Of Zanzibar are very
narrow, and coming up behind me was
a large bullock wagon. My sweet tenn
pered donkey backed right on to the
horns of the bullocks. Then it was no
longer a case of making her go, but of
making her stop.
Away she flew, right along the Naza
Moja road, and nothing I could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact, I soon tired Of trying and let her
go. On she went, right in among the
cocoanut trees, regardless of every
thing until she came to a steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense, and l decided to
keep her.

King Richard In a Kitchen.

"Actors of the old school did not
have the gorgeous stage settings of the
present." said q veteran stage manager
the other night as he gazed at the stage
in Ford's Opera House while in a
reminiscent mood. Il remember once
we were playing southern towns with
Edwin Booth and wanted to put on
Richard H. No special scenery was
carried for this, and l was told to look
over the stock at the theater to see If
there was any that could be used.
The second scene. called for the en-
trance Of the king and all his couriers
into a royal hall. I picked out a set
Of scenery that I thought would do
for the palace, but cautioned the stage
hands not to get it on wrong side out.
Well, the first scene was finished, and
when the stage was disclosed for the
second there was the typical old kitch-
en- scene, the one with hams hanging
from the rafters, q candlestick on the
mantel and all that. l was Mortified
and asked Mr.. Booth if we should
change it by ringing down the curtain.
He said no, he would go on, but he
cautioned the other players to keep
your eyes on me; don't under any ON
sideration look behind you at the seen
cry
"Well the scene went off, and after
ward, when I asked some Of those in
the front Of the house, they made no
comment, and I was convinced that in
the intensity Of the acting they had not
noticed that the king was in the kitch-
Ell instead Of the palace."-Baltimore

Knew He Loved Her.

Mrs. Duncan Stewart described Lady
B~eacons6eld as originally a factory
girl. Mr.. Lewis first saw her going to
her factory, beautiful and with bare
feet. He educated her and married
her, died and left her very rich, and
then she married Disraeli. When ask
ed why she married her second hus-
band, she would say, as if it was a
feather in her cap, my dear, he made
love to m while my first husband was
alive, and therefore l knew that he
really loved Augustus ]. G.

the old veterans reunion. When he
got off the train, he looked up Captain
Warren Moseley, one of the bravest Of
the boys who went out in the sixties,
and they Immediately began swapping
"reminiscences about their army life in
Virginia. Finally Mr.. Cooper asked
Captain Moseley if he remembered the
Yankee hat. A reporter who was stand
ing there heard the following story,
which both men vouch for as being alb
solutely true:
On the first day Of the battle of Win
chester a Yankee was killed so near
the line Of battle that a soldier Of the
name Of McLendon, Company l, Fourth
Georgia, picked up the hat and put it
on and wore it. He had not had it on
his head for more than two hours when
he was shot through the head, the bull
let piercing the hat in almost the same
hole that the bullet had entered that
killed the Yankee.
Another soldier Of the name Of Woo
ten Of Company H, Fourth Georgia,
picked up the hat and put it on, and in
less than an hour he, too, was killed,
the bullet striking him in the head near
the place where the other two bullets
had entered.
The next day another soldier Of the
name Of Fitzpatrick of Company II,
Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat
when he, too, was struck in the head
and killed.
Although the hat was a fine one, it
was left lying on the field, as there
was no one who would wear it, as four
men who had worn it were then cold
and stiff, and each one had been shot
through the hat in almost the same
place.-Macon News.

.rhe DEVILS Turnip Patch"

0The Dev1l'D Turn1p PatCh."
On the top Of Bald Eagle mountain,
Just where the old turnpike breaks
over the brow down into Black Hole
valley, is a queer field Of rock, which
years ago was christened ''The DEVILS
Turnip Patch" The rocks, which are
Of q reddish sandstone, have a striking
popularity of all standing on end, thus
forming a Jagged, irregular surface,
that won for it it's queer name from
the early settlers.
In bygone days, when the stages
wheeled their way up from Northum-
berland to Williamsport, the four in
hands traversed the old pike that skirts
the turnip patch, and the strange gar
den Of rocks was a constant source of
wonderment to the traveller. Added
to it's interest as a natural curiosity is
a hidden stream Of water somewhere
beneath the standing stones, the noisy
flowing Of which forms q romantic
song beneath ones feet. Nobody
knows where the source of this stream
is, nor can anybody find where it emp
ties itself into Black Hole valley.
The rock field covers an area of two
or three acres, with it's widest part to
the north, then narrowing down v
shaped to the south, where the angle
is lost in a fringe Of stunted hemlocks
and elders. Theorists have figured on
the cause Of this mountain freak, but
the theory obtaining most credence is
that it is a legacy of the glacial age,
the rocks being a collection pushed
into their present vertical position by
the moving ice.-Philadelphia Record.
