Devery, one In whom Dickens would have delighted, is a man of robust health, robust figure. robust voice. robust man. ner, robust cheek and robust nerve. By exceptional grace and still more excep- tional political influence, Devery, the TO- bust slid from the uniformed police force into the civilians seat of Deputy Commis- sioner. Here he distinguished himself as the most extraordinary example of ig- norance and arrogance that modern ward politics has ever exhibited to the eyes of an astonished community. Indicted by the grand jury and arrested on a war rant he now sets up a contention that he holds quasi-judicial position, and if complaint can be made of his action while hearing eases he must be impeached. This is lovely. Yet it may hold. The Tammany judiciary may make 1t hold Nay, more; Devery, the robust, is now to change his 1oafing place.

An EoI1nn Harp.

To make an aolian harp construct n
box of very thin pine. cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep. seven or
eight inches wide, with a length equal
to that Of the window In which 1t is to
be placed. Across the top. near each
end, glue Il strip of wood half an inch
high and a quarter of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden pins, like those of a vio-
lin, to wind the strings around. two
pins In each end. Make n sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of each
string to a metallic pin in one end Of
the box and carrying 1t over the
bridges, wind 1t around the turning pin
in the opposite end Of the box. Tune
the strings In unison and place the box
In the window. II is better to have
four strings, but a harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.

Getting Personal.

The favorite Scottish method of deal
Ing with sleepers In church was pub
licly to denounce the delinqusnts. The
Christian Leader tells this story:
When the Rev. Walter Dunlap, min
lister of a United Presbyterian church
in Dumfries, saw a member OF his flock
noddlng while he was preaching. lie
stopped suddenly and said:
81 doot some o. ye hae taen over
mony whey porridge the day. Sit up,
or Ill name We DOT"
Another C~aledonlan preacher. on like
p%rovocation, cried out. Hold up yer
heads, my friends, and mind that mel.
Their saints o sinners are sleeping In
the next world"
Then, finding that this general ex-
hortation was insufficient TO deter n
certain well known member of the
church from getting his nights rest
forward, the reverend gentleman turn
cd toward the offender and said:
James Stewart, this Is the second
time I have stopped to waken ye. If
need to stop n third time. I'll expose ye
by name TO the whole congregation"

asked Mr.. Mayor TO help them ccle-

1t was a hot day In summer, and aft
er an hour OF two OF conyiyial lndul.
gence the mayor Of Kansas City was
very much under the Influence of liz
uor. The newspaper men were feeling
lovial, but they were still able TO walk
around. 1t finally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing a
fruit wagon pass, one Of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether or not lie wanted TO
make 81. He replied that he most GER
talnly did.
1t was then explained TO him that n
drunken man would be stretched out in
his wagon, face toward the sky. and
that he must drive through all the bust
hess streets of the town and then take
the man home.
Not knowing who his passenger was
to be, the driver consented, and the
joke was carried out TO the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven. and
there was a placard that announced the
cause of the strange plight fastened
on the back OF the wagon. The mayor

A Chinese stratagem.

Rajah Suran, who was one OF the
earliest rulers of India, overran the
entire east with the exception Of Chi
M, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
tiers. II Is said that when the Chinese
heard of his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council Of his
generals and mandarins, and upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails, trees were planted on the deck,
the vessel was manned by a numerous
crew Of old men and dispatched to the
rajah's capital. When II arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story is
that II did arrlye-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long It had taken the
vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that On the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great trees
had grown. In confederation Of their
story they pointed to the rusty nails
which, they said, had been stout iron
bars ms thick rs a mans arm when
they started. you can see" they con.
cluded, that China must be a very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough 10 reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
