sions. The Emperor and the reichstag

are anxious to call the attention of the
people OF Washington 10 the character
of these sermons.
DR.. Johnston breaches on the essence
Of Christianity. and his analysis OF the
means by which men are to approach
the subject. and realize its influence and
beneficial operation, Is very remarkable
We are quite sure that the cause of
true religion Is being strengthened in 4

Of the case, and we urge upon those
who have not had the opportunity OF
hearing him that they should make Use
of the two remaining occasions when
he is to preach.
The whole subject Is made so plain
that 1t seems impossible that anyone

that we are doing a favor to the good

could have been heard at the Nobbys that
WAS score or leagues astern. The whole
crew rushed in his direction, and the
frightened, stammering sailor asserted that
n cat, black and shining, with two eyes
mat gittered like the emerald eyes of the
sleeping Buddha, had walked six times
round him as he stood at his Dost.

asked the captain
Kick her?" gasped the sailor do you
think I'd kick her? Not on your life!
When all your mob came running here
she beat it over the side"
There was no cat on the schooner. SO
the captain cursed the steorsman and went
back to his cabin
Three minutes afterward another and
mightier yell came from the deck, and the
captain and crew again rushed to the
scene. The steersman was lying fiat on
MS Dack unconscious. and when he had
Deen brought uround he asserted that he
mad kicked the spectral puss on it's second
appearance and had been promptly knocked
unconscious by what he described as "a
bloomin' electric shock that came from the
burned old mouse eaters fur!"
The captain cursed him and took the
wheel himself, and quiet was again re-
stored. But not for long. The captains
yell was even louder and more hair-raising
than that OF the steersman, and when the
crew reached his side they found him
nghting madly with an invisible foe.

on the wheel. Hit him, you fools! The
cat! The cat!"
Three hours later we piled the schooner
on reef, and we had narrow squeak
for our lives.
An island skipper on a run from Suva
to Melbourne, il-treated Fijian. The
black died. but before he died he lifted
himself on his elbow and spat upon the
captains uniform. The Fijian was some
thing of a watch-doctor In his own corner
OF the world. and that captain Immediately
struck trouble The night after the Fijian
expired, the door Of the shippers cabin
was struck seven hard blows at midnight
blows that seemed as If they were admin
tered with sledge-hammer The captain
sprang from his berth, but there was no
one at the door At two bells the thing
was repeated and again at four BELLS The
captain was ready at the last visit lie
pumped five bullets through the thin panel
or the closed door, but, when he dashed
into the passage there was no quarry to
reward his craftsmanship.
The game continued for seven days, then
a companion OF the dead Fijian guaranteed
to Kill the ghost IL the captain gave him
two pounds ten shillings. The captain
paid, and the f,lzzyheaded native imme-
diately asked to have pointed out to him
the spot where the dead man had spat
upon the coat. This was done and the
ghost-killer cut the portion out and burnt

would not be expected to do.
The piece was the success she had
aimed at. One young man said to
another:
why, deah boy. this is almost as
good as Gertie Millar In The Spring

1t was really quite triumph for a
Duchess to be almost as good as a
musical comedy specialist in her own
line.
The Duke was too busy with af-
fairs of his own to notice this per-
Torrance at the time. Then the
Duchess went away to Murren, in
Switzerland, and engaged in the snow
sports for which that resort is IA
nous.
She skied, she tobogganed, she
skated. She took perilous leaps in
the air and displayed the same
shapeliness that had won so much
appreciation at the amateur theatre
calls.
She was caught in perilous up
set while toboganning and again
aroused admiration.

She became the favorite pupil Of the
professional instructor at Murren.
She was photographed hand in hand
with him over and over again per-
forming most intricate and difficult

1t was these photographs that
caused the break. The Duke was
furious when he saw them. He was
not jealous, as his wife thought he
might be. He was most righteously
indignant
