QureR Requests Made in the suPpIioa,
lions of Imaginative
Preachers.

Speaking of queer breaks, occasionally
made by pastors in addressing their faithful
hocks, here is one that l think takes the
cake" observed a New Yorker to some
friends as they were chatting at che club,
according to the Times.
The case in question was that of a young
clergyman whose Imagination sometimes
exceeded his common sense. at any rate,
on one occasion he began his prayer as fol.
lows:
"'Oh Lord, we thank Thee that there is
one small spark of grace remaining in our
hearts. Water it, we beseech Thee, Oh
Lord, water it,
That reminds me of the favorite climax
of the minister of the one church in a little
country place where l was staying one
summer, remarked one of the others when
the laugh had subsidized. Gle was of ex-
tremely pacific tendencies and rarely ended
bis prayer by any other phrase than the
following:
%'Oh Lord, ne pray Thee that the dove
Of peace and the eagle of freedom may soar
h%eavenward together, bearing between them
a banner with the motto, "E pluribus in
num-, A-a-men.'

Within less than 100 miles of where
the United States intends to complete

world has seen, in territory where the
newly created republic Of Panama is
situated. there dWells an Indian nation
that is TO all intents and purposes
identieaily the same to-day as it was

T-alamancans, who inhabit a few square
miles in the mountains almost midway
between tbs two oceans and but a COM
paratiyely short distapce from the
Panama railroad, though it is much to
be doubted if they have ever seen it or
are aware of its existence. The Scien-
tiac American says that although for
upward Of four centuries the medieval
civilization OF Spain hae surrounded
them on all sides, they have neither
been contaminated by its influence nor
exterminated by its Kindness, as was the
case in Cuba ard other Spanish colonies.
Their language is still their own, and
seems to have lost little OF its original
character through contact with the ex-
ecrabIe mixture of English, Spanish and
French spoken by the lower classes
throughout the West Indies and along
the Spanish Main. Living in virtually
an unknown region, at least three days
journey from the nearest settlement,
their solitude is seldom broken. The
visitor is received with the greatest hos
pitality, and is welcome as long as he
desires to remain. Their visits to the
outer world are infrequent, rarely ex-
tending beyond the nearest port, and are
undertaken only in quest of Iuxuries.
