A CONSCIENTIOUS Parson.

A wedding took place a short
time back in a large town in the
north of England, the service being
conducted by rather eccentric: vic
ar. Two days after the ceremony
he called at the house of the bride
groom's mother, but she happened
to be out, SO he said he would call
again, which he did later in the day,
carrying two large bags under his
arm.
This time he found her in. So
he began by asking them to clear
the table a little. Then he opened
the green bags, from which he took
the registers. These he opened and
in a most solemn tone said:
'Mrs. Williams, you have forgot
ten to dot the Il in Elizabeth"

A Modest Village Blacksmith.

The little village could not boast
of having many entertainments, and
a concert was an event which was

In response to a vociferous encore
the singer was about to start Crock

AN ARGUMENT OF FORCE.
Napoleon Smashed Vase, and the
Treaty Was Signed.


Treaty Was Signed.
Early in April, 1897, the people OF
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in the vicini-
ty of Leoben. Bonaparte, in an inter-
view with the Austrian plenipotenti-
aries, said to them, "Your government
has sent against me four armies with
out generals, and this time general
without an army" In the treaty
which the Austrian commissioners pro-
jected the first article stipulated that
the emperor of Austria thereby recog-
nized the French republic. erase itw
exclaimed Napoleon. ''The existence
of the republic is as plain as the sun.
This article is only fit for the blind.
We are our own masters and shall es-
tablish any government we prefer. 1t
one day the French people," he con-
tinued, SHOULD wish to create mon
archy, the emperor might object that
he had recognized republic" The
preliminaries were soon settled, Napo-
leon signing for France, thus placing
himself on an equal footing with the
emperor of Austria The formal treaty
known as Campo Formio was signed
in October, 1897. Austria fulfilling the
pledges she had already given. The
Austrian plenipotentiary protested
against the distribution of the prov
inces beyond the Adige. Napoleon was
angered at this, and, selling vase,
dashed it to the ground, exelaiming.
eff it is not SO arranged 1 will break
your monarchy as 1 have broken this
vasev' This argument of force, as
demonstrated to the diplomat was
convincing. and the treaty was signed.

A Little Ambiguous.

A group of interested citizens
was observed standing in front of
a billboard in one Of Chicago's sub
urbs reading large poster that had
just been put up. Some Of them
were greatly amused, while others
were highly indignant.
A nearer inspection showed that
the purpose of the poster was to
advertise a genuine colored min
strels' entertainment" that was to
be given at one of the local amuse-
ment halls. The particular portion
that had reused the emotions of the
crowd was printed in great, faring
letters:
'1t will be enough to make a mule
laugh! Bring your wives and chill

QUICK IN RET0RT.
Stories of Some Masters of the Gentle
Art of Repartee.


Senator ingalls, was always quick
in retort, although he was himself
a subject Of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked by Senator Eli
Salisbury Of Delaware, the second
smallest state in the Union. He
disposed Of the whole matter by say
ing, 81 thank the senator from that
great state which has three counties
at low tide and two counties at high
tide for his advice"
John Randolph of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls Of congress, unless Da-
vid A. De Almond Of Missouri be an
exception Both Randolph's and
De Almonds speeches drip vitriol,
but they are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
fcurished in the ea.rly days Of the
republic, when things we're all I'M
settled, was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been blacksmith. Randolph
was descendant of Pocahontas and
of the best blood Of aristocratic Vir-
ginia. He replied to the presump-
tuous blacksmith: "What creden-
tials does the gentleman bring
From whence does he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind?" The reply was Kissed
back, S'I sent it to Pocahontas to
make moccasins for his grandchil-
dren."
An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit Of Alexander FL. Ste
phens of Georgia in senatorial de.
bate occurred on the senate floor
during heated argument with Rob
ert Toombs, also of Georgia. Ste
phens, although possessed of one of
the most powerful brains Of his
time, was lame and had wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
of a clustering, sputtering type. He
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became so exasper-
ated that he threatened to fight
However, consideration of the size
of his opponent deferred him, and,
turning, he said, Il won't fight you,
but I could swallow you whole. .

PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Don't Develop the Mind at the Expense
of the Body


The man or woman who would train
the mental faculties without any refer
ence to the physical shows faulty
qualification for the work in which he
or she may be engaged. The mind
may be ever so we'll trained and stored
with knowledge of the books, but un
less there is behind it a reasonably
strong body life runs the risk Of be
ing a failure; if not that, an existence
Of pain that serves as limitation upo.i
its possibilities. 1t is species of cru
city to educate the mind at the eX
pense of the body. Better let child
grow up into manhood Or womanhood
with an inferior education than with
q better education of the mind and q
body weakened in the effort.
The fact that so many men in this
country who have succeeded in bust
ness and in professional and public
life have been the sons of farmers,
whose early life has been spent out Of
doors, has been a subject of remark.
May it not be accounted for on the
ground that in their bOyhoOd their
physique was developed SO that in aft
er life, besides their mental acquire
ments, they had strong bodies with
which to do the work they have so
successfully performed? This is not
only possible, but very probable

Claiming the Child.

She may have been either a wick

children who refuse absolutely to
"stay put" but whatever her all
ment her mother certainly made
enough of parade of it. The pair
were strolling along the other after
noon, and around the left wrist Of

leather, to which was fastened a
heavy chain Of steel links, the end
Of which was held firmly in the

SACRED HORNS.
The Queer Adornmcnt of Peculiar
Chinese People.


Chinese People.
Adjoining the Chinese prefecture
of Chienchang is deep gully
barred by river which no China
man is permitted to pass until he
finds bail for his good conduct in
Lolodom. +.
The Lolos are slim, well made,
muscular race, with oval reddish
brown faces, high cheek bones and
pointed chins, from which the beard
has been carefully plucked. They
are far taller than the Chinese and
indeed than any European race, but
their marked popularity is the horn.
Every male adult gathers his hair in
a knot over his forehead and then
twists it up in cotton cloth so
that it resembles the horn of a uni
corn.
The horn is considered sacred,
and even if Lolo settles in Chinese
territory and grows a pigtail he still
preserves his horn. The Lolo
mans principal garment is a wide
sleeveless mantle of red or black
felt tied about the neck and de-
scending almost to the heels. The
trousers are Of Chinese cotton with
felt bandages. No shoes are worn,
but conical hat of woven bamboo
covered with felt furnishes head
covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respec-
lively "black bones" and "white
bones," the first being the mobiles
and the latter their vassals and re-
tainers. There is also third class
Of captive Chinese and their de-
scendants, called "watzu," practical
ly slaves, who are tattooed on the
forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The Lolos never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
men. The marriage of a 'fblack
bone" is time of great festivities
and many banquets. The betrothal
is celebrated and ratified by the
present of the husband to the
brides. family of a pig and three
vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many orna-
ments. She is expected to weep
profusely, whether. she feels so in
clined or not. In the midst of her
tears the groom's relatives and
friends dash in, seize the bride, the
best man carries her out of doors
on his shoulders, she is clapped on a
horse and hurried off to her new
home. Here she finds horses, cat
tie and sheep, provided by the
groom's family, while her own peo-
pie send clothes, ornaments and
corn. Women occupy high posi-
ton among the Lolos, and woman
chief is not unknown among the
tribes.-New York Herald.

Lost Dignity.

Irish viceroys are stripped of
their sovereign attributes as soon as
they reach English waters, which
gives point to the following story
told Of one viceroy and a lady with
whom he was acquainted. They
both found themselves on board the
Holyhead packet. During the voy-
age from Ireland the lady treated
the viceroy with ceremonious re-
spect. So soon, however, as the
packet entered Holyhead harbor she
baid him, "Now, Bobby, you're no
longer yiceroy, so take my bag and
