Rrieked His Own Bubble.

This story, found in Rev. Dr. Henry H. Jessups book. "Fifty-three Years in Syria" seems to indicate that religious vagaries are as short lived in the east as elsewhere A friend of Dr. Jessup visiting Jerusalem. met a queer look ing solitary stranger pacing the streets of the city, accosted him. and after the usual greetings remarked:
 You are an American. l infer"
 "Yes, l am." replied the queer look ing man.
 And what are you doing here, If may ask?"
 'Ah. yes, I'm glad you asked. You see. I've come to preach the new doc Urine. that there is to be no more death If men will only accept 1t. we'll abolish death, and there'll be no more dying nor graves, nor coffins, nor funerals We shall just live right on."

 And it did. The poor delirious apos- tie died a few months later, and with him bis "new doctrine"

Exact Thom as.

Thomas Hoar, the devoted servant upon whom Gilbert White, the English naturalist, depended to carry out his garden plans and to look after his comfort in many ways, was noted for his exactness. MT. H. c. Shelley, in "Gilbert White and Selborne." gives an amusing illustration.
 There was one occasion when Thom- as came to report, "Please. sir, I've been and broke a glass;"
 Broke a glass. Thomas! How did you do that?"
 ..I'll show you, sir" te rejoined as he disappeared for moment. Returning with a glass in his hand, he let it fall on the floor, remarking:
 "That's how l broke 1t, sir"
 "There, go along, Thomas; you are a great fool," said his master, adding to himself, "and was as great one for asking such foolish question"

Getting an Autograph.

A Munich boy of fourteen. who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seitz's paintings, was anxious to se- cure the painters autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote a letter, stat ing that he had sent case of wine to the professors address. and wanted to know whether 1t had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient i'm portance the painter did not write. but called at the address given. met the boys mother, and the fraud soon be- came apparent. The boy was thor ougly scolded, and next day received this autograph note:

AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
Inc Way It Was Described by an
 Educated Native.

Inc Way 1t Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 c. J. Phillips, business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- ciety. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting a re- markable letter in which native member of the katikiro's prime minis ter's, party gives description of the Uganda railway.
 "My friend, can tell you the Euro peans have done a marvellous thing tc make the railway and the trains. They fasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to fireplace which is as big as an elephant. and the road 1t goes on is as smooth as the stem of a plantain. It goes as fast as a swal- low flying, and everything you see out side fits past you like spark from a fire. If it were to drop off one of the bridges not one in it would be saved, for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills 1t passes are as high as those of koki. and they have bridged over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami rembo. so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them
 Later there follows a description of ship: Ut is as deep as our two sto' ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and it is as long as from the katikiro's fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It has three tall poles in it and big throat. out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go dowh three stories, and the boards of these cannot describe to you, for such have not been seen before. There is & lo' of metal work about them, too. bu: these also l cannot describe for it i. so fine. There are children on board and a flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place whors chief sleeps, such as even our kin has never possessed. ."-London Strand Magazine.
