Michael Angeles Vow.

The story is told, but with no solid
foundation, that Raphael had under
taken to decorate the walls of the man
sion of Cardinal Farnesina, on the
banks Of the Tiber, on the condition
that no one should see his work until
it was completed. Michael Angelo
took an oath that he would stop
this work. Finding his opportunity
when the artist came late to work and
disguised as a seller Of cakes and wine,
he distracted the attention of those
round the scaffold that was prepared
by offering to them his wares, and, as
cending, he drew upon the wall a gil
gantic head Of Jupiter and hurriedly
left the building, his VOW thus accom-
plished. When Raphael presently came
he instantly exclaimed on seeing the
sketch, Michael Angelo!' and left the
palace never to return.

The River Jordan.

Concerning that unique stream, the
river Jordan DR.. Libbey, in 1.-The Jor
dan Valley and PETRA writes: "Per-
haps the strangest thing about this ia
nous river is what none of the an
clients ever guessed-that it's course
was mostly below the level of the sea.
They journeyed up and down the val
ley since before the days of Abraham;
they climbed down the roads from Je-
rusalem to Jericho and up into Moab
and Edom; they built roads east and
west of the Jordan; they built roads
and bridges and cities far below the
level of the Mediterranean and yet new
er seem to have suspected that this
stream differed from most of the rivers
of the globe in this respect. Greeks,
Romans and Mohammedans, Jews,
Christians and crusaders knew every
nook and Granny of it's winding course,
but failed to realize that while it's
head and source rested high on noble
Hermon's side it's mouth in the Dead
sea was far below the surface of the
habitable world and all the surround
ing oceans"

A Striking Fact.

A young man was riding III the cab
with locomotive engineer
"Now," said the young man, shud-
dering, suppose a stage load of chill
dren were to glide Oil to the track from
that lane-what q blessing it would
then be if you could stop short, in
stantly, like man walking
"Blessing?" said the engineer. why
young fellow, if that stage you speak
of were to appear now, and l could
stop short like a man walking,
wouldn't do it. Instead, I'd keep right
on and kill the kids
"Why?"
Because it would be the more hui
name course. In one case there would
be stage load of kids slaughtered; in
the other case there would be the
slaughter Of a trainload of people. This
train is going at the rate of forty-fve
miles an hour, and the sudden stop
page of a train going at that rate
would give the passengers precisely
the same shock that they would get
from a fall of fifty-four feet-a fall
from housetOp."

RUNNING Birds.

Scientifically humming birds are ''tro.
chilidae," and those who make a spe-
cial study Of them are ''trochilidists,"
although the birds are not identical
with the old Greek "trochilus," Or run
ner,' bird, which, according to Herod-
otus. entered the jaws of the Sleep
ing crocodile and obliged it's big friend
by picking leeches from his throat. The
Spanish name for the humming bird is
''tOminej0,' meaning third of a dram
and referring, of course, to the birds
minuteness. But the prettiest names
are those, such as the French 'frou-
fr0u," which refer to the humming
noise sometimes produced by the al
most incredibly rapid vibration Of the
wings "PUrring with her wings" is
the expression Of Thomas Morton
QG32), the first English writer to men
ton the humming bird.

Preparing For the Storm.

A correspondent in the north Of Ire
land sends the following account of an
interesting incident that came under
his observation:
Being on a walking tour through In
ishowen and passing along the edge Of
Tough Swilly, the romantic Lake of
Shadows, he noticed an immense gath
ering Of rocks on the sandy shore. In
company with several others, the tour
ist was attracted by this novel; spec
tacle and began to wonder at the cause
Of 1t. An old man who was working in
field near the place offered an expla-
nation. He said that the birds were
picking up sand to ballast themselves
in a storm and that when they did so
it was a sure sign of approaching bad
weather. He added that on shooting
rocks after q gathering of the sort he
had found that they were loaded with
sand. AS q matter of fact, the gentle
man concludes, violent gale set in
early next morning-Pearson's Weekly.

in wages granted by the Fall River
manufacturers to their 10000 employees
will affect nearly 100000 operatives
in southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, eastern Connecticut, and in

DIR. CRAPSEY QUITS MINISTRY
Will Carry His Case to the Free
Thought of the Country.

Rochester, n. Y.-Bowing to thewill
Of the church, but refusing ''to make a
cowardly retraction" Of the beliefwhich
induced the church to terminate his
ministry, the Rev. Algernon S. Crap
sey, rector of St. Andrews church, to-
day renounced his ministry in the EpiS-
copal church in letter to Bishop Will
liam David Walker.
In this letter Mr.. Crapsey reafirms
his belief that the Fiction of the orr
gin of Jesus, that a son of man was
born without a human father, is with
out foundation in history" He also
asserted that when | say OF Jesus
that he ascended into heaven l do not
mean, and cannot mean, that with his
physical body of flesh, blood and bones
he foated into space and has for two
thousand years been existing some
where in the sky, that very physical
body Of flesh, blood and bones. Such
an existence would seem to me not glo-
rious, but horrible.
81 appeal" he says, from those in
places of authority in the church itself
to the great body of the people. am
certain that it is final for the church.
When the tribunal of free thought has
decided this contention, the men who
administer the church on earth will
conform to this decision
