II
The congregation of St. Paul's
Episcopal church was treated to a
rather unseemly spectacle at the morn
ing service Sunday. The cold weather
of last week caused the freezing up OF
the connections to the water motor,
which furnishes power for the pipe
organ, and this inconvenience had to
be obviated by the employment of
hand power. Things ran along smooth
ly for while, but in the midst of the
rendition of the ''Te Deum" the wind
supplying apparatus of the organ
broke and there was a most unpleas-
ant sound of rafting parts and
shattered connections. The choir was
compelled to cease singing and be
seated, and then the rector, nothing
daunted, requested that some of the
male portion Of the congregation go
to the chapel and convey the reed or
gan from there to the church, which
was done with becoming celebrity and
ceremony. The services we're then
proceeded with, but it was plain to be
seen that the incident exasperating
as it was, had nevertheless provoked
no little amusement in an inappro-
pirate place.

Variety of queer Sayings ana Odd
DOings Recently Noted in the
Sunrise State.

One day lately the entire summer col
ony of the island of Monhegan turned
out and helped the fishermen dress
and salt so barrels of mackerel.
1t has been hard year for the fisher
men, for, on account of lack of bait and
food fishes, the cod fishery has been
complete failure, and the unexpected
taking of the so barrels of mackereI
created great excitement along shore.
The fish were small and the weather
warm, so that they had to be dressed
and packed at once or they would spoil.
So many men had gone away to the
mainland looking for employment that
there were not enough left to care for
the mackerel. The summer boarders
volunteered their services, and men and
women were soon standing about the
dories and splitting tables, dressed in
their Oldest clothes and working with
might and main to help the fishermen.
Well-known men and women of New
York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia
and Kansas City all piled the splitting
knife and the ''gibber," and at sunset
the last mackerel had been sailed and
$500 saved for the fishermen.

CAMEL RACES.
Tests of Speed Between Them EN-
thuse the Lovers of Sport in
Far-OH Algeria.

Camel races are held regularly in the
south of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement of
the breed of racers, and as much inter-
est is taken in their preparation and
performance as in that of race horses at
Latonia. The racing camels are the re-
suit of very careful breeding through
many generations, and in size, temper
and appearance they are SO different
from the ordinary beast of burden that
they might almost be considered diff
ferent race of animals. Perhaps the
most conspicuous characteristic of the
ordinary camel is it's extreme slowness.
Nothing on earth will ever induce it to
hurry. A $50 note will buy a very fair
specimen, but for a mehari, or racing
camel, five or ten times that sum is re-
quired to effect purchase. The racer,
however, can be depended on for nine
or ten miles an hour, and kept up for 16
or II hours almost without stop. The
pace in a camePs race is generally fast
and furious at the beginning, when all
the animals are together and seem to
realize that contest is in progress.

Made It's own Funeral Toilet.

There are certain insects that have
such respect for Mrs. Grundy and
are endowed with such an innate love
Of neatucss and order that not even
death, or rather decapitatlon, can pre-
vent them from making one grand
final toilet, which is clearly designed
to give them n sedate and respectable
appearance after death.
DIR. Bnllion, Il skilled entOmolOgiSt,
discovered this remarkable fact. Dur
ing one of my recent horseback rides"
he says, Il frequently caught one of
those large flies which annoy cattle
and horses so much, and l promptly
got rid of it by crushing its head
One day. instead of throwing the mu-
tilated insect away, | placed it on the
back of my hand and indolently watch
ed 1t. For some seconds the insect re-
manned motionlesS, but then, to my
unboundcd surprise, it moved It's front
legs forward to the place where the
head should have been, and, after it
had rubbed them ncrvouSly together,
apparently in anguish, it began to
brush its body and to smooth its wings
with its hind legs. Under the gentle
pressure of these limbs the body grad
ually became extended and tile ex-
tremity curved, while the winge grad
ually changed their natural position
and left the upper part of the body
exposed. Meanwhile the hind legs
continued to brush each other from
time to time.
Naturally | watched this extra
ordinary sight with great interest and
in order to see the finale, | took the
insect into my study. where it lived
an entire day, spending the time at
the ungratcful task of making its own
funeral toilet

One of tie most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1888. The is
land of COrvO was then in the posses
sion of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there driftcd ashore n
craft which had evidently been frozen
in the ice for a long time 1t was an
ancient and battered brig, without
masts, bulwark or name, but the
matches were on, the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant. She had lit
tie cargo. and that consisted of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin,
but it was figured that she was a
Sealer or trader, carrying a crew Of
10 or y, and that she had been pro-
visioned for Il year The flour was
spoiled, but the beef was perfectly
preserved. She had been abandoned
when frozen in an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
in the fOrecastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half a
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them $1,000. and two barrels of beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found of its name or owners.

Two Could Do 1t.

Basel, Switzerland. was visited a
few years ago by an adventurous
Frenchman whose ruling passion is the
ascent of mountains stunned by most
other tourists who value at least their
soundneSs of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the GopaltcnbOrn, for
the sake of carrying his name upon
the peak, but all his efforts were vain.
The next year he returned to the at
tack, and eventually, by taking many
precautions, arrived at the summit.
On his next appearance at the table
d'hote he rccounted his exploit to the
company and informed them that he
had planted on the spot II blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered in
large characters.
An Englishman, who had listened
silently, rose from the table and
marched out of the hotel. Two days
afterward parcel was delivered to
the adventurous Gaul. He opened it
and found inside his blue silk flag,
which his English neighbor at the table
d'hote had won from the peak by his
own pluck and daring.
