AN ABSENT MINDED MINISTER. | clergyman was badly afflicted with absent -mindedness, despite the fact
 that his wife watched him like hawk.
 One prank of his disordered brain,
 says the Washington Star, finally prov ed his undoing with his congregation, which had hitherto been long-suffering.
 He had frequently to be told to re- move his hat after reaching the desk,
 and one Sunday morning he read among the announcements from the pulpit his Wife's laundry list.
 l He was somewhat more liberal in his views than his congregation, but not wishing to create trouble carefully sup pressed any overt act of expression which he thought might be obnoxious to them, and only indulged himself pri- yately. But one Sabbath morning, he arose, after the hymn, and announced in the usual dignified manner: You will find my text in the first chapter of the first book of the scriptures His hand went into the rear pocket of his coat for the customary manuscript. In stead he brought forth book and opened it. His white face lighted up with smile of pleasure, and he began reading aloud, with great interest. His elder parishioners sat aghast while the young members broke into titters. It soon became evident that he was read ing from one of the latest and most sensational novels. Finally an elder arose in righteous indignation and call ed the much mortified minister to &C., count

FOOTRALIIIN TURKEY.

Sport does not meet with much en- couragement in Turkey, and is pursued
 under great difficulties young Turk
 called Rechad Bey, inspired by the Smyrna and Constantinople football
 match, organized a club among his friends, tigether with some Greeks and Armenians, and began practising A few days ago, in the middle of the night police came to his house and car ried him off to Scutari There he was submitted to long interrogation as to the club and the game of football, Matters only grew more complicated as the Turkish word for ball is top, the same as for a cannon. The authorities were convinced that they had found a great plot, and that the club must be a secret society. A special messenger
 was sent for the ball, and that was duly examined and found to be an in
 fernal machine. The regulations of the club were considered to be another piece of damnng evidence, and still worse were the jerseys and colors of the club, which showed a complete or ganization. even to a uniform, After long deliberation the culprit was sent to the higher police authorities in Stamboul, who went through a second long examination, and came to the con- cluson that the empire had been saved from dsintegration by the early discov- cry of a great plot. They dispatched the whole matter to be examined into at Yildiz. So the young man, the foot ball, the rules and the sweaters and kickers were all solemnly taken to the palace and special commission took the matter in hand. After much care full thought and examination of the ev- idence it was decided that there might he nothing in it. but it must not be done again. Accordingly, the young man was appointed vice-consul at Te- heran and bundled off the same day. This may appear perfectly incredible, but it is absolutely true,-London Tele- graph.

HE NEEDS A SHAVE.

Freshman Who Has More Hair in His ; Face Than Any Other Man Alive.
 Jean Coulon needs a shave more bad ly than any other living man. If his strength lay in the length of his hair, this Frenchman would be very Her cules.
 His beard measures ten feet ten and one-haf inches in length, while his mustache is over yard and half long.
 Of course he has taken his time to cultivate these amazing adornments as you may gather from the fact that he is seventy-six years of age. He is very proud of them, and this is perhaps one reoson among many why he does not permit the vulgar to gaze on his gran deur every day of the week The in- habitants of Montlucon, in the Depart ment of Allier, where Coulon resides, are very proud of him, and by way of acknowledging their appreciation the man with the unlimited beard exhibits his luxurious growth to all and sundry ones who care to come and see him any Sunday Indeed, it may be said that for him the Sabbath is scarcely day of rest, for when not on view he is carefully dressing his amazing appen- dage and mustache. During the week he rolls his beard in a sort of bag, so that he may be able to go about his oc- cupation the more conveniently. Those of the present generation who are in clined to envy him need not despair of emulatine his achievement for they must remember that Coulon's beard has taken seventy-six years to attain it's present remarkable growth. From the earliest times the beard has been considered by almost all nations a sign of strength and an ornament of man hood. and has therefore been carefully cherished. Some nations, indeed, re- gard the beard as sacred. These in- clude the Arabs and Persians, among whom Coulon ought to be held in ex- ceedingly high esteem. The Moslems, who are wont to swear by the beard of the prophet and by their own, might take to swearing by the Frenchman's if he could be induced to go among them. Unlike the customers, however, Couion does not constantly carry a comb about with him; nor does he carefully pick up and preserve for entombment with his remains when he shall come to die those hairs which fall out or break off when he dresses his venerable beard. Nor, like these same Arabs and Per sians, does he dye his beard for he pre- fers the whiteness of his own to the redness which he could don by using paste after the Oriental fashion.-Lon- don Express.

"Well, I should say you're not right" exclaimed the doctor starting and eX- amining Vazzalean closely. What ails you, man? You look all tucked up
 Dunno" replied Vazzalean, with a pained smile. Stopped smoking a bit suddenly on New Year, and since then -"
 "Vazzalean!" interrupted the medical man. Are you sane? Dye mean to sit there and tell me that, after the way you've smoked for years, you quit sud- denly?"
 Yep" replied Vazzalean, sadly
 Why you internal idiot" stormed he doctor, its enough to kill you. You sec when a mans frame becomes thoroughly surcharged with nicotine, and he stops tobacco suddenly, he suf- fers from what we technically call an agarkis of the tinkolorum, and that's decidedly serious sometimes. The mil tidioptum of the ventricular whoopree- sis fails to act in conjunction with the nipohugeis, and when that happens you are in trouble and lots of It. The bene~ ficial effect of nicotine on the pinka- loopkis is so well known"
 Mrs. Vazzalean, who had been listen ing to all this with staring, alarmed eyes, rushed up stairs, and when she returned, moment later she carried a box of those Havana perfector.
 My dear" she said to her husband, you smoke one of these this instant and don't you stop any more!'
 Thanks, doc-I'll blow you the first chance I get" murmured Vazzalean to the grinning doctor, wringing his hand at the door about ten minutes later Washington Star

THE FORGE OF VIBRATION.
An Architect Tells Why Fiddle Can
 Shake a Great Building

An Architect Tells Why Fiddle Can
 Shake a Great Building.
 What force least expected does the greatest damage to buildings?' a News representative asked a well-known architect.
 Tt Is difficult to tell But I will ven- ture to say that you would never ex- pect violin playing to injure the walls of at building Yet that is certainly the case There have been instances when the walls of stone ard brick structures have been seriously impaired by the vii brations from violin. Of course these cases are unusual. but the facts are es- tablished. The vibrations of violin are something terrible in their unseen, urbound force, ard when they come in contact with regularity they bear their influence upon structures of stone, brick or iron. Of course it takes con- tnuors playing for many years to loosen masonry or to make iron brittle, but that result is obtained. In the great Masonic Temple in Chicago l have thought of what the result might be if q man would stand on the first floor at the bottom of the nineteen sto- " i!Ght we'll, and play there continu- ously, The result could be more easily seen there than almost any place else, because the vibration gathers force as it sweeps upward. A man can feel the vibrations of q violin on an iron clad ocean vessel, and at the same time be unable to hear the music. It is the regularity of the vibration which means so much. Like the constant dripping of water wearing away stone the in- cessant vibration of the violin makes its way to the walls, and attacks their solldity."
 But why doesn't this vibration af- feet the player?"
 Because man is flexible object He can give way to motion and resume his place again, A frame building would not be damaged by vibration be- cause the timbers are flexible, But it is different with masonry.
 You may have noticed that a dog crossing the room will shake the entire building, no matter how small the dog. A dog can shake a suspension bridge, There are some great and valuable bridges which dogs are never allowed u GiDSSt fNttpt VIII NtIIiEus lVh SNE, in that case f is the regularity of the vibration that is so powerful. The dogs movement is q fixed and positive institution. The first step on the bridge is not noticed so much, but ev- cry step comes just alike, at the same interval, and with the same firmness. The force gathers momentum and each step makes the bridge sway more. But there Is another way that it fay per haps be illustrated better. As you sit there raise one foot partially on t'ptoe. That's it. Now work your knee up and down rapidly and regularly. See how everything in the room rattles and the floor shakes? That illustrates the dogs step power better than anything else You and I and all our friends could not jump up and down in this room and shake the floor as you have just shaken it while sitting down and suing only the force of one leg. It is the regulari- ty of the vibration which is powerful. News.

MrTuIrEN,S WEAKNESS.

His fault in war was that he lost his head in battle. He ragged up and down l the field, he almost always forgot his artillery he kept his aides dashing all over the place while he roared ex- clamations, orders and comments enough to confuse a whole army, could | if have heard him. It was said that one reason for this was that Lord Methuen read his Bible all night before each battle, preferring that to health full sleep. Another great fault Of his was that he would not accept advice or information even from his best subor- dinates or heed any news that con- tradicted his own impressions or dis turbed his plans. By reason or this he marched into the Boer trap at Modder refusing to hear that the Boers were hiding there and insisting that he knew there were no more than 300 Boers in that whole region, the enemy being massed at Spytfontein-which place, alas. he never reached
 He had melancholy interview with Cecil Rhodes after the slaughter at Magersfontein.

 But Lord Methuen made excuses.
 He had no horses There was no water on the route. He stayed In Kim berley until he was ordered away, Rumors to his disadvantage spread all over Africa and reached England It was said that his brain was touched. It was reported that he had given warn ing to Lord Roberts that If he were sent home he would blow out his brains-a not very likely story for Methuen is beloved by the King and is hero of the Guards, with all the aris- tocracy behind him.
 Of late he has redeemed himself. For nearly two and half years he has done his best and his fellow citizens at home have learned how brave he is-even if he is not all else that general should be-Jullan Ralph in New York Mail and Express.
