Gayle, BOndrean And The
KShifiDim 0s.


Philippines.
Professors E. T. Gayle and Will
fred Boadreau, whe went to th'
PHILIPPINES from this parish some
months ago to engage in education
al work in Uncle Sans new pos
sessions, are having rather hare
road to travel over there, If reports
are true.
Our brown brothers don't takt
kindly to their new kinfolks, b.
they there ON martial or peaceful
missions.
A letter recently received from
Prof. Boudreau tells of a pretty
rough experience. One night re
Gently, the two Professors Gayle
and Boudreau) who room together
just before retiring noticed that
their trusty rifle was missing
Suspecting that something was not
just exactly right, Prof. Boudreau
refused to go bed, notwithstanding
the assurance OF Prof. Gayle that
the stealing of the rifle was the act
of some petty thief. A few hours
after the fears OF Prof. Boudreau
were shown to be well grounded
for suddenly there was a sudden
attack upon their quarters. Bull
let's and missils rained on the
house, and Boudreau at once made
his escape into the darkness, only
to be pursued by some object that
ran like a quarter horse. Bou.
drean nearly gave up all hopes as
the ghostly object came nearer and
nearer to him, and when the thing
threw its arms around him, his
only request was to he shot at ohce
and not tortured. But Gayle (for
it was him, in dehabilie) soon took
the lead, and Boudreau had to fol-
low the pace until Spanish Catho-
lie church was reached, and to the
priest they applied for protection.
The holy man told them that he
would endeavor to pacify the
PHILIPPINES, although he thought
the dusky fellows listened to no
one when they made up their
minds that their white intraders
had to go, and in this he was right;
but the parleying gave the Profes-
sors chance to make their way
to friendly stream, where an
American boat was anchored not
far from shore. The frightened
pedagogues, thinking that pe haps
they were closely pursued, jumped
into the river and started to swim
to the boat, but they had not gone
far before they saw the boat pull
ing away under full sail, evidently
taking them for enemies, or Gayle
for ghostly apparition. They made
their way to shore again and struck
out for Minilla, Gayle borrowing
the old clothes OF friendly Philip
before daylight overlook them.
The last we heard of them they
were singing "Ameriea."

|. Nearly the whole fur trade Of the world
concentrates itself iii the. two cities Of
London and Leipsic; but as about two
thirds of the London furs which are sold
at auction go to Leipsic, the result is that
the sfnrsmarket :le q, issrealiyys the;
greater of the two. The I-eipsic ware
furs fronlE Siberia, Ehuopean Russia,
America, Australia andF China, making
the business of the fur exchange worth
from SIS, 100000 to ST., 100000, yearly.
The chief article of import is the raw
Eastrakhan Bokhara. which comes via
Nizhni Novgorod, this product reaching
an importation figure Of; about 100000
skins. each of which is worth from
$2OG to- $685.. With the cost of tanning
and dressing added the value of this trade
amounts to from 100000 to $780,
600. - ~
The second most important division of
goods includes sable furs, of which about
10000 SKINS; each worth from $50 to
500, are imported yearly. or fox skins
nearly 10000 pelts are, tanned and dyed
yearly. Lamb skins average about 1,0OO,-
600 year.
Formerly Leipsic handled annually
about 100000 Russian squirrel skins,
which were bought mostly in England;
but as the fashion of long fur garniture
mand was reduced to 2 100000 pelts. The
tails for boas are mostly imitation mar
ten and sable tails. The sale of the pelt
of the white fox in this market amounts
yearly to about 100000, which is about
the whole available product of the
worlds markets.-From advance sheets

Relics of the Lisbon Earthquake.

An interesting discovery has just been
made in Lisbon which recalls the great
earthquake of 1855. During some build
ing excavations made in the Sc quarter
of the city, portico of great beauty
was uncovered. Its entrance, which was
closed by massive bronze doors, was
thrown open and lofty and ornate
chapel was found containing several
tombs of more or less note. One of
them, that of an infant, was opened and
found to hold the skeleton of female
child clad in a gorgeous gold brocade
RES or representations OF the HOW
Ghost. The tissue of the garment is
still in admirable condition, and bears
handling and stretching, but it is feared
that ere long exposure to the air viii
destroy the, fibres and the colors. The
Lisbon archaeological Society has taken
possession of the relic. Further investi-
cation proved that the remains are those
of child of Dom Pedro. Other tombs
will be searched as the excavation pro-
ceeds, and rumors Of additional valuable
finds are already afoat.

Turkeys as Star Witnesses.

4 modern Solomon's judgment, APP
proved by flock of turkeys, after the
decision had been referred for final adj
judication to the latter, has just come
from Lower Providence township. The.
flock Of birds in question had strayed
from their own farm home, as turkeys
will, and had been cooped up by the dis
tant neighbor on whose fence rails they
roasted.
A warrant, trial before justice Of
the peace and a proposition from the real
owner to let the birds settle the question
for themselves, prevailed.
''Tll forfeit the lot if they don't go
home,' proposed the owner.
And 50 you SHALL" responded the JUS
tice. Turn them loose"
The liberated. turkeys, as If they ap-
preciated the weight of their new legal
responsibility, went in a bee-line to their
home roosts; and the judgment was en-
tered for the plaintiff. Philadelphia

Frances Automobiles.

in France now reaches 1886, 1893 being
carriages with three or more seats, and
2493 carriages with one or two seats.
One-fifth of the motor cars are registered
in Paris. Compared with the million
odd bicycles running in France, these
figures are somewhat disappointing. On
account Of their speed, the noise they
make, motor cars seem to be far more
numerous than they really are. The
figures show that many makers cannot
be working at a profit. -London Daily

the Sunday school of St. Peters Church,
Philadelphia, was placed on the top Of
this ancient. and unique tower.
At that time Rev. Morris, on counting
the rings formed in the wood of the tree,
pronounced it 275 years old, though ex-

age to be nearer 400 years. The bell
