Some idea Of amateur photography
as it was in its early days may be
gathered from an incident which the
late Bishop Walsham How confded to
his note book. Before he became q
bishop he used to call together the
old men Of the parish on New Years
day, and on one occasion he displayed
to his guests a photograph Of two old
men who had long worked at the rec
tory. They were photographed IN
their working clothes. one with q
spade and the other holding . little
tree as If about to plant it. A very
deaf old man, Richard Jones, took the
photograph in his hands. and looking
at 1t said: Beautiful! Beautiful"
So the rector shouted: who are they,
Richard?" why" he said. "its
Abraham offering up Isaac to be sac
riiced!" The rector tried to undeceive
him, and as the old mel who haA been
photographed were sitting opposite
him, he said: You'll SEQ them Before
you II you'l look up. Richard
smiled serenely but eli no said was:

Unfortunate Answer Made by vene.
zueIa CHARGE d'Affaires.


zueIa Charge d'Affaires.
In the excitement which has attend
ed the action Of Germany and Great
Britain in Venezuela an incident which
nearly precipitated a conflict between
the United States and Venezuela has
been lost sight Of. Senior Don Augusta
F. Pulido, Venezuelan charge d'affaires
ad interim, has been under a great
nervous strain the last week, and his
cares have been materially increased
by the lack of skill with which menials
have c%oncocted his favorite beverage,
which is composed of milk, sugar, and
certain distilled f1avoring extracts.
One day a Boston maiden, to whom is
confided the care of the senor's room,
inquired the state of his health, and
was startled by the reply:
81 feels like de debbel."
The young woman from Boston, with
true American spirit, promptly resent
ed the disrespect which she detected
in this reply to her solicitous inquiry,
and informed the amazed diplomat Of
her opinion of his birth and breeding
in Bostonese terms not to be found in
any guide to diplomatic intercourse. So
pointed, indeed, were her remarks,
and so thoroughly punctuated with
Bostonian polysyllables, that the
charge, when he recovered his breath,
packed his effects, dismantled the le-
cation, and was only saved from de-
handing his passports by the prompt
and pacific interference of his land
lady.-New York Tribune.

WAS hYPNorIzED BY FLAME.
A Florida Mans Story Of How He Got
Bad Burn.


A remarkable story Of the hypnotic
influence Of fire upon a ~well-known
| Floridian named Thomas Matthews is
reported here. The unknown force
impelled him to thrust his hand and
arm into the blaze and hold it there
while his flesh blistered and burned.
and he was only saved from a more
horrible fate by his daughter discov-
erins his predicament and pulling him
away from. the fire.
He says he was sitting in front Of
the stove with the door open, and
his gaze became concentrated upon
the flashing mass of embers and leap
ing tongues Of flame. He became fas-
cinated. He was as a statue, unable
to move. The dancing demons of the
flames seemed to possess and control
him. A torce which he could not
resist impelled him to throw himself
into the fire and battle in the leaping
beauty Of the flames. This he could
not do because Of the fire being m
fined in a small stove. But the mys-
terious force impelled him to thrust
his hand and arm into the flame and
hold them there. This he did. There
was no sensation of pain, rather one
of Joy, that the enthusing warmth
was entering his blood and stimulat-
ing him.
Attracted by the smell Of burning
flesh, his eldest daughter entered the
room and stood for a moment hOrri-
fed by the spectacle. Quickly, how
ever, she recovered, clasped her
father about the neck and dragged
him back from the stove. I AS soon as
the hypnotic charm of the fire was
removed he realized the horror Of
the situation and almost swooned.-

Boston. April 28.-The most impor

Harvard medical school. It will be
the announcement by DR.. William T.
Councilman, of Harvard, that he has
discovered the cause Of smallpox or
the specific germ. DR.. Councilman
will not assert that he has found a

cry will no doubt lead to the finding
Of specific remedy, or at least pre-
yentive as has been the case in other
diseases.
DR.. Councilman calls the cause of
the disease of smallpox a protozoa,
and it is this organism which pro.
duces the contagion, Physicians who
have been informed OF Or. Council.
mans discovery say it is regarded as
one OF the greatest discoveries since
the discovery Of Pasteur.
Dr. Councilman refused to discuss
his discovery in advance OF It's for.
NAL announcement Tuesday, but one
Of his assistants told the particulars.
He said that DR.. Councilman was led
into his Investigations by the small
pox epidemic in Boston two years ago,
when there we're hundreds OF cases
and scores OF deaths. This epidemic
gave DR.. Councilman a splendid op-
portunity for investigation by fur
nishing plenty Of subjects to study
He obtained pieces Of the skin of
various persons afflicted with the
diseases in its various stages. These
numerous specimens, with other ex-
hibits secured, were examined under
the microscope.
