FATHER OF GREEK CHURCH.

FATHER OF GREER CHI RCfi.
The real father of the Greek church
may be said, however to be PhotiuS
who became bishop of Constantinop'a
in 81. Photius was man of coin-
mensuratc ability. full of cunning ana
dssmulation. His accession To the
see of Constantirople is considered il
legitimate for various reasons. by
Catholic historians, the principal one
being that he was advanced from
layman to u bishor in six days, con-
trary to the canon's of the church.
The emperor, Michac! III, for poll
tiCal reasons. sent to Rome asking
Pope Nicholas to approve the Episco-
Pate Of PhotiliS. The pope. SuspectinS
irregularities, sent two logaics to in
vestigate conditions. These legatcs
were imprisoned and afterwards Sc
duced with presents. They brought
back Il favorable report 10 Rome, but
the pope was still suspicious and at
synod convened at Rome in S63 Photius
was declared fallen from the priest
hood and forbidden to exercise any
sacred function.
Photius thereupon. realizing thai
further efforts to secure the popes
approval would I've useless, resolved to
try schism. He directed an encyciical
letter to all the bishops Of the West
| crn church. in which he rcproached
violently the Latin church. The bish-
| ops. who were attracted by what Pho

The Belief In Charms.

A belief in charms has existed in all
ages and has been shared by all peo-
pies. 1t is natural result Of supersti-
ton. The phylacteries worn by Mo-
hammedan and Jewish women on the
forehead form but one phase Of this
universal belief. Faith, however, is
deemed essential and Is true of all tai
ismans that are copied from old pat
terms and not constructed according to
the rules Of the cabalistic art.
Talismans to be eficacious must be
constructed when the planets are in
benehc confguration. 1t is then that
the magic geometrical words and fig
ures inscribed thereon are more potent
in their results for good. The date Of
birth of the person for whom the tails
man is made must also be considered,
so that his particular lucky star is TAX
en- into consideration.
Many great men were believers in
taliSmans and wore them constantly.
Napoleon especially was very supersti-
tious and carried on his person q charm
given to him by an Egyptian priest,
which he regarded as being response
BILE for his great success in battle. The
Rothschild family, it is said, also has
q talisman, which is an heirloom. It is
In the shape Of a snuffbox and is said
to have brought the family the great
wealth for which it is celebrated.-New

Sorrows OF the millionaire,

Look at the ways Of the millionaire.
Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself q small, first class
hotel in some big city, which for the
greater part Of the year IS occupied by
servants. He next erects a country
palace at I1enoX or at Newport. This
he calls cottage, though it usually
looks more like public library or a
hospital or clubhouse
Then he builds himself q camp, with
stained glass windows, in the Adiron-
dacks and has to float small railroad
in order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows bungalow modelled after q
French chateau, somewhere in the
south, and then yacht warranted to
cross the ocean in ten days and to pro-
duce seasickness - hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
Of the necessities Of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences, camps and
bungalows he has to keep eternally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends it over, going himself
on fast steamer. Oh, it's q terrible
thing to be q millionaire and have no.
where to lay ones head, with every
poorer man enyying him, many hating
him and hands raised against him ev-

The Siters Bit.

"See that party with the jag sitting
in the corner Of the car" said q con-
ductor who was riding to the car barns
in a Zoo and Eden park car to the con-
ductor in charge Of the car.
Yep. Hes got heavy bundle" was
the answer.
We'll, take this counterfeit half dol
lar with you when you collect his fare.
4 passenger passed it on me a month
ago. If be gives you dollar, you can
shove it on him.
The conductor OF the car took the
lead half dollar, entered the car, and
the man with the jag held out silver
dollar and received the counterfeit half
and IS cents in change.
"INorked like CHARM" said the con-
ductor as he reached the platform.
Here he comes now. he wants to
get off,
The drunken man wabbled to the
door and unsteadily descended from
the car.
'Now We'll split up" remarked the
conductor Of the car as he drew the
dollar from his pocket And as both
Of the conductors gazed at the silver
dollar they gasped in unison: Were
up ag'in it. It's counterfeit dollar."-

Fidd1ed Into Once.

If history be true, Governor Taylor
Of Tennessee is not the only man who
fiddled himself into Office. Losing re-
lates that in 1S4S he met at Oswego,
N. Y. Major Cochran, then nearly so
years old, q son-in-law Of General Phil
ip Schuyler, who told the story Of his
election to congress during the admin
istration Of the elder Adams. A vessel
was to be launched on one of the lakes
in interior New York, and people came
from afar to see it. The young folks
gathered there, determined to have q
dance at night. There was a fiddle,
but no fiddler. Young Cochran was
an amateur performer, and his services
were demanded. He gratifed the joy
Gus company, and at the supper table
one of the gentlemen remarked, in
commentator Of his talents, that he
was eft for congress-" The matter
was talked up, and he was nominated
and elected a representative in con-
gross for the district then comprising
the whole Of New York west of
Schenectady. He always claimed to
have "fddled himself into congress" "

Webster and the PloW.

Daniel Webster, when at his home at
Marshield, would never speak on poll
tics when here, but he would talk to
the assembled neighbors and guests on
matters pertaining to farming. On one
occasion some Boston friends present
ed him with an enormous plow to use
on his farm. Webster gave out word
that on a certain day it would be chris
tened. IKE day arrived, and the sur
rounding farmers for miles came to
witness the event. y dozen teams
with ariStocratic occupants came down
from Boston. 1t was expected by ev-
cry one that Webster would make
great speech on the occasion, review
ing the history Of farming back to the
time when Cincinnatus abdicated the
most mighty throne in the world to
cultivate cabbages in his Roman gar
den.
The plow was brought out, and ten
yoke of splendid oxen were hitched in
front More than two hundred people
stood around on the tiptoe of eXpecta-
ton. Webster soon made his appear
ancc. He had been calling spirits from
the vasty deep, and his gait was some
what uncertain. Selling the plow
handles and spreading his feet, he yell
ed to me in his deep bass voice:
care you ready, Wright"
"'All ready, Mr.. Webster was the
reply, meaning, Of course, for the
speech.
"Webster straightened himself up by
a mighty effort and shouted:
Then let her rip"
"The whole crowd dropped to the
ground and roarcd with laughter,
while Webster. with his big plow, pro-
ceeded to rip up the soil. The same
plow can now be seen on top Of the
Faneuil Hall market ii Boston and is
a conspicuous object for miles around"

William N. Evarts as n Wit.

William NJ. EvartS dearly loved a
joke-so dearly, indeed, that once. when
secretary of state. he came nigh upon
being the death Of one Of his subordi-
mates. Y consul in the West Indies
wrote home stating that his health in
that climate was bad and asking for
transfer. At that time there happened
to be vacancy in northern Sweden,
and to il the aStonished and diSmayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr. EvartS. 1t was not what he had
barGaincd for. and, as an icebound
winter was change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally rclcnted
and gave him berth elsewhere.
At one time in the department Of
state new elevator man had been en-
ploycd who did not know Mr.. EvartS
~ sight. II his car was conspicuous

secretary of state smoking was prohib-
tied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with I IA
nous senator, the latter smoking ci-
gar. The new man promptly touched
the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice, Cant you read
that sisn?' Mr.. Evarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and, turning
to the elevator man. said: What sign?
I don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held his
peace, but lie followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who

was. The guard told him.--New York
