Revivalism in Jamaica has its TRACE
dies and its comedies, but under no cir
cumstances its advantages. The excit-
ability of the black man is animal; it
leads him backward toward the Jungle,
toward Obeahism. The noisy revival
istic meeting Is more serious scandal
than tea party. A doctor told us that
not long since he was called in to a
meeting, where he saw a woman lying
on the ground, while her coreligionists
danced ketch dance in frantic circle
around her, proclaiming her to be '1n
de spirit" He found She was dead
from a fit caused by excitement But
the consequences of these ''pious or
gies' may be merely inconvenient, as
in the case of the black lady who when
in de spirit climbed upon her neigh
boris roof and sat there for two days.
The neighbor found this inconvenient.

AN ANECDoTE OF WHITMAN.
How the Poet Was Trying to Cheer
UD FriendIess Boy.

Up a FriendIess Boy.
One day l was stopped on Washing
ton street, says ]. 7. Trowbridge in
The Atlantic, by a friend who made
this startling announcement: walt
Whitman Is In town. | have just seen
him" When asked where, he replied:
AT the stereotype foundry, just around
the corner Come along. I'll take you
to him. The author of Leaves Of
Grass" had doomed so large in my
imagination as to seem almost super
human, and I was filed with some
such feeling of wonder and astonish-
ment as if I had been invited to meet
Socrates or King Solomon.
We found large, gray haired and
gray bearded, plainly dressed man,
reading proof sheets at desk in lit
tie dingy office, with lank, unwhole-
some looking lad at his elbow listlessly
watching him. The man was Whit
man, and the proofs were those Of his
new edition. There was a scarcity of
chairs, and Whitman, rising to receive
us, offered me his, but we all remained
standing except the sickly looking lad,
who kept his seat until Whitman turn
ed to him and said: you'd better go
now. I'll see you this evening"" After
he had gone out Whitman explained:
'He is friendless boy l found at my
boarding place. | am trying to cheer
him up and strengthen him with my
magnetism, practical but curiously
prosaic Illustration of these powerful
lines in the early poems:
To any one dying thither I speed and
twist the knob of the door.
/ seize the descending man; I raise him
with resistless will.
Every room of the house do fill with an
armed force, lovers of one, bafHers
of graves.

THE SINFUL BROTHER.
He Was a Good Man, but Didn't Hold
Family Prayers.

He Was a Good Man, but Didn't Hold
Family Prayers.
1t was at certain church meeting
and the good bishop was calling for re
ports. He had a rather stern, sharp
manner which sometimes Jared little
on the nerves of the more timid. BY
and by he came to Brother B., lay
delegate.
Brother B., what is the spiritual con-
dition of your church," demanded the
bishop briskly.
Il consider it good" said the brother.
What makes you think it is good n
went on the bishop.
"Well, the people are religious. That's
what makes me think so''
What do you call religious? Do they
have family prayerY'
Some of them do, and some do not. =
DO you mean to say that man may
be Christian and not hold family
prayer?"
Yes, sir: think so.*
do you hold family prayerY
Yes, sir" returned the brother quiet
ly.
"And yet you think man may be a
Christian and not hold family prayer ~
Il have brother who is better
man than am who does not hold fam
lily prayer"
what makes you think he is better
man than you areY'
Everybody says so, and know he
Is"
why does not your brother, If he is
such good man, hold family prayerY'
Numbered the bishop.
'He has no family" meekly answer
ed the brother Harper's.

The soorpion,. Wonderful Ea,


have studied the habits of the scor
pion for many years and have otter
noticed how very sensitive scorpions
are to the most delicate sound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike append.
ages, which are the antenn@ pecti-
nat@). 1t is pretty well settled by
Psychologists and entomologists that In
insects the antenn@ represent the or
gans of hearing. These delicate struc-
lures are easily affected by the vibra-
tons Of sound, and there can be no
doubt whatever that they are also af-
fected by sounds quite inaudible to the
human ear.
The slightest vibration of the atmos-
phere from any cause whatever at once
puts in motion the delicate structures
which compose the antennR, to which
organs insects owe the power of pro-
tecting themselves against danger as
well as the means of recognizing the
approach Of one another-London
Spectator.

Fresh water sponre..

That certain sponges can do a great
deal of harm is now maintained by q
French scientist. According to him, the
water supply OF some cities and towns
has been polluted by them. and the wa
ter supply of others may be polluted If
steps are not taken to prevent it.
Sponges of this kind are found only
In fresh water and are known as ''cOr-
nacuspongi@." A close examination
shows that each of the various parts
of such sponge is composed of three
layers. First, there is a fiattened layer
of epithelial cells, which covers the
outer surface; next, there is digestive
layer of cells, each Of which is sur
rounded by collar, from which pro-
Jects little thong or whip. and, finally,
between these two there is a third lay
er, containing the reproductive cells as
well as the spicules and fibers which
form the skeleton.
In some sponges the spicules are com
posed of silica and In others of calcium
carbonate.
After some time sponges Of this type
decay, and If the water inhabited by
them is used for drinking purposes the
pollution caused by them is likely, ac-
cording to the French scientist, to
prove injurious to the public health,
and therefore he recommends that the
water be cleared of such sponges wher-
ever it is possible to do so.
There are sponges Of this kind in
many rivers and ponds in this country.

The BasSxing shark.

The ferocity of sharks is not necessa-
rily in proportion to their size. For ex-
ample, there is the great basking shark,
so called because of its habit of lying
motionless at the surface Of the water.
1t often attains a length of nearly forty
feet, but its teeth are small compare
lively, and it probably never attacks
man, depending upon small fishes and
crustacea for it's diet Another name
for this species is sail fish," because
of its great back fin, which shows out
of the water like sail when it is
basking.
Although sluggish ordinarily and cas-
lily harpooned, it exhibits great activity
and enormous strength when struck,
diving Immediately to the bottom and
requiring great length of rope to hold
it. These basking sharks are caught
for their livers off the coast of Iceland,
and the oil obtained is used to aduIter-
ate-cod liver oil

mozart ana Reethoxen.

The stories of how men of genius
have had future fame predicted for
them in their early youth must gener-
any be taken with a considerable grain
of salt. AS authentic as most is the
account of the first meeting of Mozart
with the young Beethoven, which took
place on the latter's first visit to Wen
ma in the year 1887. Mozart, then at
the height of his fame, asked him to
play, but, thinking his performance
a prepared piece, paid little attention
to it. Beethoven, seeing this, entreated
Mozart to give him a subject, which he
did, and the boy, getting excited with
the occasion, played so finely that the
composer of Don Giovanni stepping
softly into the next room, said to his
friends there: PAY attention to him.
He will make a noise in the world
some day or other."-Chambers

HE WAS EXCUSED.
0ut the Ta1esman BunRIed HIS Hx-

0Wt the Ta1esman BunKied His Hx.
euse For Evading Jury Duty.
A young man whose features and
flashing eyes betokened great earnest
ness was summoned before judge OF
the city court the other day for Jury
duty. He Immediately asked to be ex
cused. When the judge asked him
what excuse he had for not serving, be
replied
Il believe it is a rule of the court
that the jury is the sole Judge of the
facts and the court of the law-thai
the Juror should only weigh the facts
as presented by the evidence, not tax
ing into consideration any Of the rules
OF law governing the case, wherefore
all lawyers are exempt from jury
duty"
But are you a lawyer asked the
judge.
mo, but l have been close student
Of the law for many years"
Il am afraid that / cannot excuse
you If you are not a lawyer" said the
court, smiling.
But" continued the young man,
with great earnestness, the color
mounting to his temples, 81 am sure II
your honor knew as much law as do
your conscience would not allow you to
serve on jury"
After the bench and bar had recov-
cred from this naive outburst the
Judge told the young man that If it
was matter which affected his con-
science so deeply he would excuse him,
and very much abashed youth left
the courtroom.-New York Times.

POPPING THE QUESTION.
Curious Methods That Prevail IN
some Foreign Countries.


some Foreign Countries.
In this favored land Of the free every
lovelorn swain has his own way of
making love and popping the question,
but in some foreign countries the peas
antry has peculiar and traditionary
ways Of performing those pleasing
functions. Among Hungarian gypsias
cakes are used as love letters. Inside
the cake is coin, which is baked in
1t. The cake Is flung to the favored
object of ones affections The reten-
ton of the cake signifies acceptance,
but ii it is flung back with force It sig
nifes rejection.
The Japanese lover wishing to make
known the state of his feelings throws
bunch Of pale plum flower buds into
his loved ones litter as she enters it to
go to friends wedding. II she losses
the blossoms lightly out, the sutton
knows that he is rejected, but II she
fastens them to her girdle it is "Oh,
happinessY' with him.

accepted. The girl neither looks nor
speaks, but she sees. Late In the cool
of the evening the youth knocks at
her fathers door and asks for gourd
of water 1t is Of course given to him.
Then comes the crisis. If he is invited
to take chair within the porch or a
seat in the garden. he is an accepted
sutton, but If this civility is not ex-
tended to him he goes away knowing
that he is rejected. If he is accepted,
there is a general celebration by the
family Of the bride to be in honor Of
her betrothal.
When the Eskimo goes a-woofng, be
walks to the house Of his loved ones
parents and, seizing the object OF his
affections by her long, strong hair or
her furs, carries her away to his hut
of snow or tent Of skins No matter
how much the girl may reciprocate her
suitor's affections, she always makes a
show of resistance and tries to run
away from him, this for the sake OF
preserving the conventionalities Of Es-
kimo society.

Points About a Good Horse

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents it bearing too heavily Oh the

prominent and the eyelid fine and thin.

AS rule you can never take a wom-

and her husband went east for recu-

they came back in order to get his
opinion Of the wife's health. She had
been far from well and finally conclud-
ed nothing would satisfy her but the
verdict of this medical celebrity.
Accordingly husband and wife called
by appointment upon this specialist.
"Now, doctor" said the woman, sI
want your honest opinion. l like can
dor and don't wish to make the trip
here to be told any falsehood about

This sounded very open and courage
Gus, so the expert went to work. He

case and finally inquired, did any
doctor ever tell you you had so and
