Why She Didn't Get n Kitten.

She is such sweet little thing. a
bride of only four months, that the
Harlem butcher with whom she was
taking her first lessons in marketing
was delighted to see her come into the
shop. says the New York Press. He
waited on her himself and never, so he
says, took advantage of her inexperi-
ence. If he was busy she stroked the
fine Maltese cat stretched lazily in the
window and waited for him.

to him one morning, will you be kind
enough to let me have one of them. /

When that cat has kittens" said
the butcher, you certainly shall have
your pick of them"
she waited a few weeks and then
mentioned the subject to him again.
Nothing doing yet, lady" he replied.
A week or two afterward she express
ed some impotence to the cashier. Il

The bride started. and her face grew
scarlet. She left the shop in a hurry
and has not been back since.

Beer Came High.

Neither one had seen or heard of
the other for years, when Edward G.
Cooke, of the "Ben-Hur' company,
met Norman Peel. business manager
of I'm Old Kentucky" in the lobby of
the Plankinton House Monday night,
says the Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Peel, or I'm a liarl" gasped Cooke,
walking up to him. 1.-The last time I
saw you was in Johannes burg, South
Africa, when I had the Corbett-Fftz-
simmons fight pictures on a tour of the
world. That was a great story"
Tell us the story, Antonio" sug-
gested Clerk Quinn.
My partner and myself had gone
TO johannesburg to show our machine.
1t CHANGED that we carried but $50
with US, or about $3.50 in American
money. The answer is that we nearly
went broke on that account, but, any
way, we had hardly arrived in town
before l ran into Peel, who was then
travelling for a wholesale drug concern.
Peel had been in johannesburg for
several days, and piloted us to a res
taurant.
BY George!' said Welty, my part
ner, I'm tired or drinking this English
ale and small beer I'd give 81 this
minute for bottle of good American
beer
9" You can get it, said Peel.
'Welty nearly rose out of his chair
in surprise. A waiter approached.
i" Got American beer?' questioned
Weltv.
Sure was the answer in good
Anglo Saxon.
"Welty looked over at Peel and me.
and impressively remarked:
Bring us each one bottle of each
kind They had two kinds.
That made nine bottles altogether
We had a dinner with the beer and
it certainly tasted good. The bill came
and Welty reached for it, 1t read:
Nine bottles of American beer, 8
pounds 2 shillings; dinner, 10 shillings
and six
THAT good old American beer cost
us almost $2.75 a bottle. Welty nearly
died"
Peel smiled
Yes he remarked. 81 had been
stuck the first day L arrived, and so
l said nothing when Welty said he
was willing to go 50 a bottle

mo Place to Get ReIigiopv

A Presbyterian minister who passed
through New York recently in return
ing from his vacation told a story the
other day which he had heard while
in the metropolis, says the Baltimore
Sun.
Il cannot say how true the story is"
he said, but, as 1 heard a brother min
lister tell it, | suppose it will bear rep
etltlon. 1t appears that at one of the
rltualistic churches of the Protestant
Episcopal communion in New York, a
mission similar to those conducted in
Catholic churches, was being preached
by member of the Cowley order, a re-
Iglous order with headquarters in
England. These missions are some
what like REVEALS in Methodist
churches. The church was filled with
people, and shortly after the service
had begun negro woman of large pro-
portions entered the church. AS all
of the pews were filled, she was given
a seat on chair in one of the aisles,
about midway of the church.
The preacher In the course Of his
discourse spoke strongly of the sinful
ness of sin and the necessity for re-
pentance. He had not proceeded very
far in the sermon before the colored
woman began swaying her body to and
fro in her chair and finally exclaimed
In. loud tones. to the great surprise of
all present: Bless the Lord!'
one of the vestrymen of the church
Immediately went to her and inquired
the cause of her ejaculation Why.
she answered bless the Lord, I'm get

But replied the vestryman, TAX

from the church, this is no place to get

An Economist.

Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston mill
lionaire, believes that it is rather
through enterprise and originality than
through economy that financial sue
cess may be attained, says the Balti-
more Herald.
The time is past" he said the other
day, for such economy as used to be
practiced by an old Boston restaura-
teur who recently died.
This old fellow was economical to
excess. but while he ported about his
kitchen trying to make one egg do
the work of two his neighbor across
the way was Introducing a roof gar
den and mandolin orchestra, and the
economist, I understand, hardly left
enough on his demise to pay his debts.
He was, beyond and doubt, an econ
omist A couple of plumbers were
working one day in his cellar. 1t was
too dark down there to see and the
men asked for some light.
Well said the old fellow, here's
candle. Make it go as far as you can.
One candle won't do. said the
plumbers. 1t won't give us sufficient
light. We must have two.
THE old man knit his brows and
thought.
" How long, boys, will you be work.
ing down there?" he said.
About fifteen minutes said the
plumbers.
" Then, said the restaurateur, cut
the candle in two"

QUEEN OF THE FLYING ANGELS.

From the Westminster Gazette.
At meeting held at Innergleithen
recently, under the presidency of the
Master of Elibank, NJ. P, Gen. Booth
told the story of an Australian Sal
walton Army soldier who, as a girl of
Is, was in the habit of smoking. drink
ing and gambling. She was known as
THE Queen of the Flying Angels a
gang of thirty-six men, who were a
terror to the community. Again and
again she was in the hands of the po-
lice, and was regarded as incorrigible.
One day she was handed over to the
matron of a Salvation Army rescue
home, where at times she would work
and behave well, while at other times
she used to take the notion into her
heard of throwing about everything up
on which she could lay her hands. For
some while this continued, until even
tually she changed her way. A situa-
ton was obtained for her, and she got
on we'll until one of her old associates
of the Flying Angels" discovered her
and tried to entrap her. She wrote to
her captain, who hurried off to see her,
and advised her to go to another part
of the country, which she did, and has
never again been troubled by the Fly
ing Angels"

rRANsMUTATIoN OF MATTER.
From the Baltimore Sun.


New York, Sept. 11.-Sir William
Ramsay was asked this morning what
ultimate influence the recent trans
formation of one element into another
and the disintegration of the atom
into electrons would have on chemical
theory. He is the discoverer of five
new and particularly inert elements
helium, neon, krypton, Xenom and ar
gon.
The transformation of one element
into another, as for instance, the
transformation of radium into helium,
said Sir William, lis in some cases
quite certain. But often the new ele-
ment produced appears in such in
finitesimal quantities that it is impos-
sible to measure or work with it.
don't want to specify the quantities so
found, but they are frequently like one
three-billioneth of a milligram. The
transformations are brought about by
the application of radiUm to some
other element. If we could only get
enough radium-if we could get as
much as a pound of tive should be
able to procure the reactions in more
measurable quantities. 1t is also pos
sible to bring about the same trans
rays, but this method is too slow.
AN illustration of the effect that
radium produces may be seen when 1t
is applied to glass. 1t thereupon APP
pears to decompose or transform the
glass into matter like lead, a matter
like actinium, and still something
else
Such transformations as these. it
was suggested, recall the medieval
alchemists who attempted by the aid
of the philosophers stone to produce
gold from a baser metal.
Yes" said Sir William, they are a
sort of modern alchemy. But, unless
we make an exception of lead, we have
not yet been able to produce any OF
the commoner elements. The POSSIBLE
ity of such transformations invalidates
the commonly accepted chemical the
DRY that every element is absolutely
different from every other. 1t is APP
parent, logically, that as they are all
composed of matter they must all have
in common the material quality at
least 1t is possible that the lectron
is the form of matter common to all
the different elements. A theory in re-
gard to this question has recently
been published in England by Prof. j,
]. Thompson. This theory assumes
that all the elements are composed OF
a common form of matter and that
their differences are due to the vari-
Gus arrangements of the units of this
common form into kinds of solar sys-
TENS The differences of arrangement
account for the differences of the ele-
ments."

PRINCE HOSANNA.

From the Springfield Republican.
prince Hosanna" is the name by
which very black and enormously
powerful negro living in Baltimore
chooses to be known. His father is
king of the Matabeles in South Africa,
and thither Hosanna means to go be-
fore long. At one time he was body
servant to Cecil Rhodes, after whose
death he was brought to this country
by a Missionary. He does not entertain
a high opinion of colored missionary
effort among his people THE mis-
sionaries," he says, come out there
and they preach to the savage that he
mustn't have but one wife. And then,
after the preacher has been there a
while, he wants as many wives as the
rest of them. A negro preacher does
little good" When he returns home
he will do what he can in the direc-
ton of educating his people.
