SETTLED SMART YOUNG MAN.
campaigning Johns" Smart Answer
to Flippant Question.

Camp-meeting John Allen, the
grandfather of Madame Nordica, was
for many years a picturesque figure
among the Methodist ministers in the
state of Maine. A mania for attending
campmeetings was not his only dis
tinction. He was a good deal of a
wag, and his utterances were much
appreciated by both saint and sinner.
At one time, having gone to Lewis
ton to attend a quarterly meeting. he
was approached in the street BY sew
eral young men who were evidently
out for a good time.
"Camp-meeting John" said the
spokesman, who was the devils
grandmother?
THE devils grandmother" replied
the old man in the quick, sharp tone
so characteristic of his speech, "the
devils grandmother-how do you ex-
pect me to keep your family record?"

neglected peach seed, encouraged by
the warmth of the atmosphere, had
burst, and tiny sprout several inches

 A correspondent of The Schwabische Merkur. in speaking of the i.o0oth an niyersary of the founding of the Uni- versity of Cairo. says: When this university was established the germ of the European University system was developing. and the early schools. like that at Calerno, were governed by Arabic influences. The celebration at Cairo will be interesting also because 1t will present a real Oriental picture. The university. the most important of all Mahometan places of learning, is now in the mosque of ElAzhar. the oldest in Cairo, which was erected in sss. As in years gone by knowledge and religion are looked upon as one by the students. and the Koran is still the source of all knowledge. At El- Azhar the large prayer hall Is also the lecture hall The floor is covered with
 mats. and the students enter the sac- red place only after their shoes have been removed. Tn the great court the students sit on the ground in groups about their instructors. repeating thsir lessons or prayers In sing-song tones swavin9 the body as students have done there for centuries. The univer- itv has nearly 5000 students. who come from all parts of the Mahometan world

Atheists, Hurried convsrsion.

 Attendance at church service is ob- ligatory upon the part of soldiers at certain English ports. and amusing sto- ries are told of the excuses that are sometimes rssorted to in order to es- cape this requirement. At one post where a number of recruits were tenn porariIy stationed an old sergeant was ordered to ascertain to what religious sect each man belonged. and to see that he joined the party told off for that particular form of worship. Some of the men had no liking for church. and declared themselves to be atheists. But the sergeant was a scotchman and a man of experience
 "Ah. weeI." said he. then ye hae no need to kape holy the Sabbath. and the stables hae no been claned oot lately" And he ordered them to clean out the stables This occupied practically the whole day. and the men lost their usual Sunday afternoons leave.

 The marriage of the Emperor with Eugenie dc Montijo (the still living ex.Empress) put an end to the reign of Miss Howard, whom 1t became necessary to depose from her unof' ficial place beside Napoleon. who was now Emperor of the French.
 The lovely Elizabeth was naturally furious. She threatened to publish the Emperor's letters to her and to expose his arnours to all the world. Her i. .nartments were twice ransacked by the secret police Tor possession or he' dangerous letter.
 Finally she was induced to keep quiet with a present of Sl.25o.ooo and the title of Countess de Beauregard Afterwa rds she married Clarence Tre- lawney, an Efngiishman serving in the Austrian army Their marriage was dissolved in 1865 and Mrs. Trelawney died the same year.
 Her son whom Napoleon had created Count de Bechevet, married titled Hungarian, and died last August. From his death. arose the present suit to settle the disposal of his mothers wealth. derived partly from Napoleon's generosity partly hush money, and partly the handsome settlement rom Clarence Trelawney.
 The fact was brought out In court that very little of the money would re- main for the three children Of the Count de Bechevet, because the estate was heavily encountered with mort rax1s held by an insurance company. which petitioned the courts for the settlement
