Booker 7. Washington tod an anus
ing story of an old colored preacher
who was endeavoring to explain to his
congregation how it was that the chill
dren of Israel passed over the Red sea
safely. while the Egyptians, who came
after them, were drowned. The old
man said:
"My brethren. 1t was this way: When
the Israelites passed over, II was early
in the morning. while 1t was cold, and
the ice was strong enough so that they
went over all right; but when the
Egyptians came along 1t was in the
middle of the day. and the sun had
thawed the ice so that 1t gave way
under them, and they were drowned"
At this a young man in the congrega-
ton, who had been away to school and
had come honse, rose and said: 81 don't
see how that explanation can be right.
parson. The geography that I've been
studying tells US that Ice never forms
under the equator, and the Red sea is
nearly under the equator"

has them on sale, and they cost about

A series of interesting and in their
way almost unique firing trials has
been undertaken by the Swedish gov
eminent. The purpose of these expert
ments was to examine the eff ct of
shooting against pasteboard. The tri-
ais were conducted on the wharfs of
the Swedish navy in Carlserona, and
the target used was a prepared one Of
millboard, against which fire from re-
volvers, rifles, carbines and machine
guns was directed.
The pasteboard. which was three
inches thick, resisted completely the
bullets fired from the small arms. but
was perforated by the projectiles from
the machine guns. The experiments
may be said to have given very inter-

Reeuu Ar. werl.n In Paris.

La ateeeBt issue reference was made
10 the trade IN Paris in bogus pictures
and works Of art generally. An extern
sive fraud has now come to light in
connection with tapestry for so called
antique furniture The carving for
Original" seventeenth and eighteenth
century articles is responsible for this.
The demand has far exceeded the sup
ply, and ingenious inventors of an un-
scrupulous class have set about meet
ing it. The antique. with all its faded
and worn effects, has been so success
fully produced that even experts have
been deceived. At last the matter has
become so fragrant that the police have
taken it in hand. and some arrests have
been made. In the meantime, how
ever, a rich harvest has been reaped,
for many an amateur of the antique
has his rooms furnished with these
bogus productions.-Par Messenger.

Pallid ghosts in shrouds Of white.

In an aimless sort Of way
II giggle, even smile,
They look grave in ghostly style,
And they turn their backs TO leave me
just as If they shouldn't stay.
There's rather comedy ghost
Whom | think / relish most
So / beekon with my dnger.
And point her 10 a chair
Now a ghost can't blush one bit,
And for courtshlp they'r unfit,
So she slips around my bedpOst
And she takes the open air.
There Is one thing strange TO me
Kind Of muddled mystery
Where the ghosts were congregated,
Where they went when morning broke
So l whlspered-tell me please
Is 1t heaven or hadesf
But they sighed. and pointing downward,
sighed again. butt one spoke.
Never saw ghost that's fat;
Never one that wore nat;
They have neither shoes nor stockings,
And they're in a sorry plight
They have yellow heels and toes,
Blush mould about the nose,
And their shirts are rather musty
