"Of what church are you speaking?"

"Oh, yes" said he carelessly, 'the

An ExtrnOrLinnry Island.

In the bay Of Plenty. New Zealand,
is one of the most extraordinary is
lands in the world. 1t is called White
island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and few other
minerals. Over the island, which is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 800 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation of 10000 feet. In the center
Is boiling lake of acid charged water
covering 80 acres and surrounded with
blowholes from which steam and sui
phurous fumes are emitted with great
force and noise. With care a boat can
be navigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure 1t Systematically.

A Wonderful uird.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's-wife of
the famous arctic eXplorer-home Mt
Christania. Instantly the window
was opened and in another moment
she covered the little messenger with
kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage 80 long months, but 1t
had not forgotten the way home. 1t
brought note from Eapser, stct!rG
.nat an was going well with him and
his expedition in the polar region.
Nansen had fastened a message to
the bird and turned 1t loose.
The I Il courier darted osN into the
blIzzardy air 1t flew like an arrow
over thousand miles of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles of ocean and plains
and forests, and one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she
had been awaiting so anyiously.

Danny Lied.

Danny, who is an errand boy In a
brokers' office, got job in the same
office for his chum Harry. Danny set
himself the task of making Harry ap-
pear to the best advantage during the
probationary period of bis job, and he
found it necessary sometimes to use
means that were only justified by the
end.
Every afternoon Danny had to run
with messages from one Of the ex-
changes to the office, distance Of half
mile. When Harry came, Danny had
to "break him in" to do this. The first
day that he made the trip from the
exchange Harry staggered into the Of
flee, gasping, with his eyes starting
from his head. For a moment he
couldn't speak. The broker looked at
him in astonishment and said:
"You ran pretty fast, didn't you?
How long did 1t take?"
"Four minutes and II seconds" Har-
ry painted, looking at the clock.
"Thats pretty good time" said the
broker.

They Took Their Turns.

A young man residing in the north
ern section of the city had been calling
for some time on a young woman, in
fact he thoroughly enjoyed the COM
pany of her whole family. One evening
he called and of the father who an
swered his ring he made his usual in
quiry, "Are theffolks int" He was an
swered in the affirmative and asked to
'step in"
He was ushered into the parlor, and
after the old gentleman had engaged in
conversation with him for about a
quarter of an hour he excused himself,
went out, and the eldest son next enter
ed and entertained the young man for
about quarter of an hour. Then an
other brother and sister, and the young
mans suspicious were somewhat
aroused when the mother took her
turn. x little sister came next, follow
ed in turn by the family cat, which
rubbed itself against the young mans
newly pressed trousers.
He gave sigh of relief when, after
an hour spent in misery, his sweet
heart made her appearance. He begged
of her to put him next" to the joke,
and between her bursts Of laughter she
informed him that "since he was try
ing to court the whole family papa
thought they had best take turns"
1t is unnecessary to say that he failed
to see the joke and has ceased his at
tentions.-R Reading Eagle.

A hold Little BIRD.

The honeybird Is well known denl-
zen of many parts of the Transvaal.
1t has the unique popularity that 1t
does not fear men and women, but
actually flies up to them, uttering a
plaintive low note and, flying about
their heads, tries to lead them on to
the nearest clump of rocks or kopje.
The bird knows full well that under a
certain rock lies a store Of honey, con-
cealed by the cunning bees, and, rock
honey being as much esteemed by
birds as by human beings, the clever
little fellow tries to induce friendly
being with two strong hands to push
aside the rock, so that it may get to
the honey.
If it succeeds in its object and the
traveller on the veldt, attracted by the
birds fiutterings to and fro between
himself and the rocks, finds the honey,
the bird changes its plaintive tone to
one of joy aud pleasure, as much as to
say, "Thank you very much"

His Life For n Hand.

In a little town or village in GlOuces-
tershire there Is church which
contains the mortal remains OF one of
the old Crusaders In moldering eff
tigy he Is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloquence Is imaged
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image Is bereft of one of the
hands, and the story runs that the
Crusader, while fighting in the east,
was made prisoner of war and
brought before Saladn, who, before
executing Judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave newly welded
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss.
'The love Of woman Is as a fieeting
BREATH" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. well, them"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as a soldier that il this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send 1t to me | will set him free to
go to her" BY tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and she, in
all piteousness for him who was her
lover aud her lord caused her hand to
be cut off and sent it to the sultan,
who kept his word and set the Cru
sader free.-Notcs and Queries.

Epitaphs In a Tyro1ean ohurchyard

Epitaphs In n Tyrolean Churchyard.
A German traveller has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
cemetery.
On tombstone in the valley of Tux
was this inscription, I'm picus remem-
brance of the honest widow Anna
Kriedl, 40 years long" A miller is
thus remembered, "In Christian men,
ory of -, who departed this life with.
out human assistance"
A farmer whose initials only are
given and appears to have been the
author of his own epitaph has this
memorial: Here rests in God f. X.
He lived 90 years as man and 81 years
as husband"
On the tomb Of man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words,
"Here fell Jacob Hosenknopf from the
roof into eternity"
This wall of desolate husband caps
the climax, Tears cannot bring thee
back to life, therefore I weep"

THE HEDGE.

Fair neighbor OF the matched cot,

So star sweet, on from plot to plot
Thou trippest, like nympb OF fable.
So blithe thy smile, so soft thy tone,
Thy love so good life to lead in.

But "No!' cries Wisdom. "Spare the fences
The thorn, the ivy blackblrds nest in;

Avenged the Slight.

A rich Prussian banker who had
bought his title of won" by some
means or other managed to squeeze
his son into n regiment of the guards.
Once admitted, he was of course treat
ed by the other officers as one of them
selves. One day the banker gave a
splendid dinner, to which he invited
through his son all the officers of the
regiment save one, N very nice fellow,
who, however, was not noble, having
no aristocratic "von' prefixed to his
name.
All accepted the invitation, perfectly
unconscious that one of their number
had been so badly treated When, how
ever, they took their seats at the table,
the absence of their comrade was i'm
medlately noticed. Some one remark
ed the fact to the host, who said In a
loud voice, "Ah, you see, we are going
to be entire nous tonight, really Sc
lect party, you know"
"Then we must not disturb you"
said the senior officer present, rising
from his chair, and one after another
the guardsmen solemnly filed out of
the room, thus amply avenging the
slight to which an officer of their regi-
ment had been subjected.

and he returned spirited answers and
on once protested to the court. This
ground was also fully gone over at the
| former trial of the case.
IN THE HABIT OF CARRYING ARMS.
Price frankly admitted that he had
been in the habit OF carrying a pistol
for a long time prior to the shooting
but Indignantly denied that he had
any sinister intentions In doing so.
he was d public officer aud consid cred
II advisable to do SO.
On redirect examination by his
counsel, Mr.. Stanton, Price farther
stated that it was very common prac-
tice liz that section to carry pistols
whether officers Or not and
moreover he explained that
many times he was in
charge of the county Jail under Sheriff
Shadwick. He slept there and was
the only person there and the jail was
none too secure which required him to
have arms.
HIS RELIGIOUS VIEWS
In addition to politics the question Of
religion was also brought into the
quarrel. At the former trial this was
brought in in a rather sensational
man ner. An effort was made by the
prosecution to show tina. there was
emnity between the defendant and the
deceased on account of religious differ
ences.
Price stated that he had at one time
studied theology with the intention Of
entering the ministry but had sub
sequently abandoned 1t. 1t. was
brought out that there had been soma
differences on the subject of religion at
Fort Davis. A question by Mr.. Stan
ton as to Prices present religious
views was objected to by Mr.. Dean and
excluded by the court.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Nicholas Mersfelder, a barber and
justice of the peace at Fort Davis, was
next called to the stand by the defence.
he testified that at the time of the
shooting he was working in his shop.
He heard the shots and saw the sub
sequent incidents.
He said that he went over to the
saloon aud found Mulhern lying wound
ed on the floor. Price was there and
catching him said, 81 had to do it,
didn't l.
He said that Price unbuttoned Null
hern's shirt and endeavOred to afford
lin all the relief he could.
