Tho "RInck Gladstone"

A visitor to ROxborough demesne, at
NOV, County Tyrone, Ireland, will no.
tice on the front Of the castle black
head" Looking more closely at the
grim stone figure he will discern the
well known features of Mr.. Gladstone.
Upward Of thirty years ago the late
Earl of Charlemont was charging his
demesne and in order to do so found
it necessary to acquire the lands oc-
cupied by several of his tenantry AS
was common in those days with Irish
landlords. he simply turned the oc-
cupiers out with very scanty compen-
sation. Just before his demesnc eX-
tension was completed Mr. Gladstone
PASSED the Irish land act Of 1870, I'M
der which it became difficult to eject
a tenant farmer without giving com
pensation. SO exasperated was the
earl with this legislation that he de-
termined to show his feeling toward
the distinguished author Of it. Climb
ING a ladder, he reached the stone bust
and with his own hands covered II
with tar and 50 had his revenge. There
it remains. a standing memorial Of the
nobleman's childish folly and land
mark of shortsighted land.ordism in
this country.-LOndOn News.

The South African papers are full OF
anecdotes Of Cecil Rhodes. \ writer
in the Uitenhage Times describes him
as a speaker in the Cape Colony house
of assembly. lie says: prom his in
side pockets he produces a bundle OF
papers and envelopes, together with a
stray cigarette or two, unused stamps
and so forth. He selects an envelope
on which his notes are scrawled in big,
round writing, up and down, across
and along the sides. He rises to bis
feet and in his somewhat falsetto
voice begins. Mr. Speaker y pause
follows. during which he is desperately
twisting the envelope round and round,
searching vainly for the first point. by
and by he will locate it, and all goes
well for Il time. He is not an orator.
but he always commands attention.
Then there will be another hunt, and
so on until he resumes his seat. These
notes of his were called Rhodes puz-
Zles' in the house"

TIE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and WALES.

And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish and Wales.
While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension Of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largement of the salcratus biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely Oblivious
of the extraordinary development of
the catfish zone. This mischievous
dweller of the pool is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler under
many names-in one place as sucker,
in another a bullhead in a third wolf
fish and, most outrageous Of all, in
northern Mississippi as a shad. But its
own only genuine title is catfish. The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emts a grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring Of a family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal aud that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color Of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pecuniary
value of the discovery and established
a catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila-
delphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discOv-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly sailed and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible accesso-
~ TO the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and wafiles, for
which the City Of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, its way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
government has no record Of catfish
and wafIles east of the Delaware river,
but starting at Philadelphia distinct
catfish zone runs westward, terminal
ing at Denver, reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south as Mobile and New Orleans. The
catfish is said to possess medicinal vir-
tue. 1t is mildly an9sthetic, sOpOrifc
and antispasmodic.-N York Post.

andre Dumas in shirt sleeves.
Milton composed his paradise Lost

thrown back.
Bret IIarte's first literary success
was little book called CONDENSED

prominent noveists Of the day.
Austin Dobsin, the poet, wanted in
early life TO be an engineer and was
preparing for that profession when his
parcnts persuaded him to enter the
civil service.
When Fox had eaten heartily, he
would retire 10 his study. enyelop his
head in napkin soaked in vinegar and
water and work sometimes ten hours

Allison is said to have consumed
twenty-four years in the preparation OF
his History of Europe" but many I'M

Pastoral Visitation.

DR.. John Watson Dan Maclaren)
has this to say TO the ministers re
garding pastoral visitation: ut may
frankly be admitted that in the case
of a large congregation it is laborious
and exhausting work, far harder and
far more irksome to a student than
reading and writing. No man can
spend the afternoon going from home
to home and dealing in each case with
new sorrows and new problems; no
man can throw himself into each sit
uation in turn with abandonment or
mind and heart. without coming home
exhausted bOtn in soul and body. one
fourth of mans working time may
fairly be given to this department OF
his work, and he will not find it the
least profitable when the accounts or
his life are made up"

The SINH of Persia.

The German papers are filled with
accounts of the eccentricities of the
shah of Persia, who has been the
guest of the kaiser. The shah found
the climate of Germany disagreeably
hot He spent most of his time i'll
doors, in his shirt sleeves, and when
he entered a special train at Leipsic
on his way to Carlsbad he took off his
coat, rolled up his sleeves and sat at
an open window tanning himself and
inexpressibly shocking a large mill
tary contingent which was bidding
him farewell. Among other gifts the
shah gave 10000 marks to the fund
raised for the relief of the Martinique
sufferers.

VAGUELY UNEASY.
Germany Ruined over IA Number or
Oninous Predictions.

OIninous Predictions
Within the last week or two a num-
Der OF prophets have sprung up in Ger
many, and a feeling of superstition has
arisen there which no oficialism has
been competent TO Quen. The move
mcnt has taken place mainly in the
south. and from all quarters come ru-
mors Of coming wars and the downfall
of Germany.
Ii is difficult to say how the rumors
have originated or who has started
thcm. but they have become so general
that the kaiser has actually been tax
ing steps to try to repress the supersti-
don of his people. steps which have
been. attended, naturally enough, with
very small success, for superstition Is
not thing that can be controlled by
law.
In the northern provinces folk are
whispering the famous prophecy OF the
monk Hennin. who several centuries
AGO announced that one day the Hob
cnzollern dynasty would be re-estab-
lished. but that the third emperor OF
this great family would come to VIC
lent end and that the dynasty would
fall with him. The kaiser, 1t Is said.
disIilles TO have Hennin's prophecy
mentioned, and it is certain that the
official papers have lately been pr'-
fishing articles in which pains are
taken to prove that the latter portion,
which points to the kaiser's violent
end, was unauthentic.
In Suabia itinerant singers go about
singing the prophecy of st. lngebert, Il
nun who is said to have had commu-
Mon with spirits and whose prophecies
have until now come true. when Ger

bert. "the fall will come. | see rivers
Of blood in all the German valleys ana
Cossack horses drinking in the waters
Of the Elbe and of the Rhine"
In Bavaria a professor of the Uni
yersity of Wurzburg has just returned
from Italy with a prophecy of wom-
an called Rosa Columbia, who died IN
1887. She was an ignorant peasant
woman of Taggia, little village in the
Riviera. but she correctly predicted the
fall of Louis Philippe, the defeat and
exile of Charles Albert Of Sardinia, the
restoration of Pope Plus IN. "by Ma
nolpon." the defeat of Austria and the
re-establishmont of the kingdom of It.
alv. Rosa COLUMBIA predicted one thing
more. She announced another Italian
revolution and at the same time great
European war. during which 1.-The Rus
sian soldiers will put up their horses

OF course many people will smile at
these prophecies, and yet one cannot
help remembering that France was
overrun with supernatural stories dur
Ing the year which preceded the Fran
co-German war.
Renan himself, who was not a SUI
perstitious man, wrote it may be re-
membered: "Throughout the history OF

A small dealer in staples on Central
avenue was at his place of business
when a man drove up hurriedly,
leaped from his buggy and rushed into
the place, asking for two five cent

his smokes. When the old gentleman
adjusted his glasses and looked at the
disk in true California style, he saw
