WONDERFUL TNsTRUMENT

NEW, YORK, August 28.-A cable to
the Herald from Rome says: The trials
of the new submarine war vessel Del
fno, carried out by the Ministry of Ma
rine, have been most satisfactory. 1t
is provided with a cleptoscope, an in
strument which permits submarine
navigators, while below the surface. to
have view Of the whole horizon. The
French submarines employ for this
purpose Daundenard periscope on a
gymnote, and the periscope invented by
Mangini Laussedat or Gustav Zede.
This last instrument, however, possess
ses one very serious drawback. In the
first place it is bulky, which renders
it visible from a long distance, and it
has only very limited field Of vision,
three or four degrees at most. The
laurent cleptoscope, according
to the Tribuna, gives a wide panorama.

THE HoDJA's SERMON.
Story Of the Preacher who Was Too
Lazy to Preach.

One day the Hodja was too lazy to
| preach his sermon. He simply ad-
dressed himself to the congregation,
saying: "Of course you know, @
faithful MussuImans, what | am 60
ing TO say. The eongregationscried
cut with one voice: NO, Hodia, we
do not know sThen, if you do not
know, | have nothing to say to you,' :,
replied the Hodja, and left the pulpit.
Next time he addressed his congre-
cation, saying: know ye, 0 faith
full Mussulmans, what / am going to
say 10 you?"
Fearing that if, as on the previous
time, they said No." the Hodja
would leave them again without a SER
mon all cried: Eyes, Hodja, we do
know" "Then, if you know what /
am going to say quietly remarked
the Hodja, 'of course there, is no
need of me saying il" !" and he again
stepped down from the pulpit, to the
CONSERVATION Of the congregation.
A third time the Hodja again put
his question: Know ye, O faithful
Mussulmans, what / am going to
preach to you?' The congregation,
determined not to be disappointed
again, took counsel on the question.
Accordingly some Of them replied:
"No, Hodja, We do not know while
others cried; Yes, Hodja we do
know" Every well, then, said the
Hodja, "as there are some of you who
do know, and others who donot know
what | am going to say, let those who
do know tell it to those who do not
know" and quickly left the pulpit

THAT WAS LONG Ago.

Do you recall, dear, those lost years OF
childhood
When all day by the brook we played
Or hand In hand, through meadows violet
scattered
In careless happiness we played?
That such bright days must pass, how
could we know?-
For thatwa long ago.
Do you remember when the soft night
folded
The dear OLD home in peaceful rest,
We used to watch the stars shine out in
splenGor
And look for one that we loved best?
Heaven seemed SO near, we knew it must
But that was long ago.
. Can you forget when every changing sea-
Seemed sure some fresh new joy to bring ?
When every sunrise shining at our win
dow @
Seemed heralding some lovely thing?
And life with radiant Hope was all aglow-
But that was long ago.
Some day, perhaps, dear heart, wen know
the fullness
And ii, through all the rapture. comes the
memory
OF days of parting and of pain,
We shall clasp hands and snliIes for we
shall know
All that was long ago.

Nothing further was said, and then

to think some explanation ought to

THE DWARFs OF UGANDA.
Characteristics Of Peculiar RAGS Of Cen
trail Africa.

I fEa1 africa
The dwarfs are Of two types
black-skinned, with . good deal Of
stiff. curling black hair about the
body, and red or yellow skinned, with
a tendency to redness in the hair
growing on the body. Some Of the
dwarfs, especially when young, had
quite hairy bodies, and the women not
infrequently had incipient whiskers.
Sir FL. Johnston arrived at the con-
clusion that these Congo dwarfs no
longer speak an original language Of
their own, but talk in a slightly cor
rupted form the language Of the
taller negroes, in whose vicinity they
dwell. All the dwarfs examined by
him spoke either the Mibuba or the.
Kibira language. The Klbira is .
very debased form of Bantu speech,
which is widely spoken by the forest
tribes from near the Semliki river to
the vicinity of the Congo. The Mi
buba language, on the other hand,
is not Bantu, but approximates moro
to the Soudan languages spoken to
the north of the Bantu language
field. But in speaking either lam
guage the dwarfs introduce curious
'shiatuses" into their pronunciation,
which bear strong resemblance to
the clicks in Bushman and Hotten-
tot. They also speak in a curious
and very marked sing-song. Among
physical features which specially dis
tinguish them from their neighbors,
says the Geographical Journal, is the
large size and fatness of the nose.
This organ has scarcely any bridge,
and the wings of the nose are very
large. The dwarfs also have very
long upper lip, which is scarcely, Il
at all, everted. In many other points
they exhibit apelike features, but
their intelligence is as a rule well de-
veloped, and though hideously ugly
and often very apelike in appearance,
they are usually Of winning and
cheerful disposition, while their
dances are 50 frolicsome and gay and
full Of pretty movements as to dis
tinguish them markedly IN that re-
spect from the average negro. They
also have good idea Of singing, and
form themselves into little COM
panies Of ninstrels. In these per-.
formances they generally prefer to
remain seated, and IN this position
they dance with their arms and legs
and backs and~stomachs in the droll-
est fashion, singing loudly at the
same time chants Of a more or less
pleasing nature.

DON'T sNEEZE.
Else You May Become Guilty Of Homieids
.s A Before You Know It.

+ 20 Nt 4
Dr. Hermann hoeniger, a German
scientist, has for some time been try-s
ing to find out what becomes Of the.
germs that are released when a per-.
son speaks, coughs and sneezes. .and. q. {.
from the conclusions at which he has,
arrived NJ. Henri de Paryille, a
French scientist, feels justified in
claiming that person may By sim-
ply sneezing commit homicide.
DIR. koeniger,a hesays, has clear
ly proved that a person who speaks,
coughs and sneezes in a room in which
there is no appreciable current Of air
disseminates germs to a distance OF
more than seven meters, and that
these germs are carried in all direc-
tions and even to a height Of more
than two meters. As few persons
talk alike, the germs disseminated by
speech vary greatly, some Of them re-
naming in suspension for an hour,
and others only for a quarter Of an
hour, the latter being especially the
case when there is even a slight cur
rent Of air.
ssOn the other hand, germs are very
quickly disseminated by coughing
and sneezing, and the smaller the
microbes are the further they are
likely to spread Among such tiny
microbes are those of influenza and
the plague, whereas among the larger
ones are those of tuberculosis and
diphtheria Evidently, therefore,
the danger is greatest whenever there
is the greatest number of microbes
within person $ mouth.
I'm view Of DR.. Koeniger's disacv-
cry It will be well for every one to
keep as far away as possible from per-
sons who cough and sneeze. Phys
clans advise persons suffering from
colds to gargle and keep their mouths
cleansed, but is that sufficient and are
any such precautions guarantee
against diphtheria? In any case a
person should always cover his mouth
with his hand or his handkerchief be-
fore he coughs or sneezes. Sneezing
seems an innocent act, but DR.. koen-
igers experiments show that it could
very easily be used as weapon with.
which to commit homicide IN. Y.

LoNDoN's .sGAG MERCHANTS. %
How the Professional Funny Men Of the
Stage Get Their Jokes

As soon as the pantomime season
begins the gag merchant will reap
his harvest. For 'gagging' is not al
ways the spontaneous wit of come
dians who employ it. It frequently
happens, says the London Mail, that
a pantomime comedian is music hall
artist who has not sufficient sense of
humor to make suitable gags for
himself. So he calls in the gag mer-
chant. The comedian provides him
with seat to EieW the performance
and the merchant follows it closely.
After the show is over he and the
comedian meet and the gag merchant
suggests funny things that could be
said and done.
For all the gags that are adopted by
the performer the merchant gets
paid, usually at the rate ofa shilling
per gag. Having once seen the panto-
mime the merchant is in position
to keep his patron up to date with
gags right through the run
Comedians who are good gaggers
themselves frequently patronize the
merchant when he has special flow
Of side-splitting ideas and their own
inspiration fails them.
That some Of the most successful
gags are not the outcome Of monn.
mental intellects may be imagined by
the fact that the hit of a suburban
pantomime last year was the reitera.

THE CLERGY OF RUSSIA.
Curious Points in the System Of the
Orthodox Church.

Il u
The clergy Of the orthodox Russian
church are divided into Black or
monks OF St. Basil, and the White or
| parish priests. The latter must be
married before they are ordained,
and may not marry again (which has
led to the saying, "A priest takes good
care Of his wife, fer he cannot get
another'), while the monasteries, Of
course, require celibaey. From the
latter the bishops are elected, 50 that
they-in contradistinction to their
priests s-must be single. This system
is much condemned, says the Gentle
mans Magazine, by the lower clergy,
who ask pertinently: s'How can our
bishop knew the hardship of our
liyes, for he is single and well paid,
we poor and married. The rule, OBJ
served elsewhere, holds good in Rus
sin, the poorer the priest the larger
the family. Few village priests re-
ceiye any regular stipend, but are
allowed a plot Of land in the COM
mune wherein they minister. This
allowance is generally from 30 to 40
dessiatines $50 to 1913 acres) and can
only be converted into money, or food
products, by the labor Of the parsons
and his family upon it-very literally
mast they put their hand to the ploW.
Priests are paid for special services,
such as christenings or weddings, at
no fixed tariff, but at a sliding rate,
according to the means of the payer,
the price being arrived at by means
Of prolonged bargaining between the
shepherd and his flock. Would-be
couples often wait for months until a
sam can be fixed upon with his rever-
enee for tying the knot; and some
times, by means of daily haggling,
the amount first asked can bereduced
by one-half, for the cost of the cere-
mony varies according to the social
status Of the happy pair-from 10 to
100 roubles. Funerals, too, are at
times postponed for most unhealthy
periods during this process. Gener-
ally, however, the White clergy are
50 miserably poor that they cannot
be blamed for making the best mar
ket for their priestly offices. Wheth-
er the system or the salary be at fault
it is hard to say, but from whatever
cause, the fact remains that the par
ish clergy of the villages are not al
ways all they might be; there are
many among them who lead upright
lives and gain the respect of their
parishioners, but it would be idle to
deny that there are many whose
thoughts turn more to vodka than
piety, the labak than the church.
Such shepherds have but little in
common with the best elements Of
their flocks, and much with the worst.
III whose company they generally are.
