Mr. Slasik Thompson's Theory.
One day, in the old dnysntChcyonnn,
when it won still tho toruiinus of tlm
grent Pucilo rond, tht ro nrrived, all by
himself, a young mnn about 80 yrnrs
old, who Imd such A lisp and looked 80
girlish tlmt tlm rough crowd looked him
over In astonishment It wim Hunk
Thompson who finally walked up to the
young mnn on a street corner and gruff
ly demanded :
"Sny, bithy, are you lookln for your
nursin bottle?"
"Thir, do yon addreth mo?" asked
the yonng mnu ns he straightened tip.
"You bet. Whnr'a yer ma and how
did you happen to get lost?"
"My ma ith home, thir, nnd I am not
losth. You are very rudo, thir."
"Yon are very rude, thir," mocked
the terror as he beckoned to the boys to
close iu and see the fun.
"It thcems to me, thir," said the
yonng mnu as ho looked the other over
"tlmt you don't like my looVths."
"No, I donth."
"And that you want to pick a futh
with me?"
"A fuss with a baby. Hn, ha, hal"
roared Hank.
"Thir, 1 can take care of mytholf."
"Don't want any ma to rock you to
sleep, eh?"
"No, thir, and I want you to go
away before I hurt you. When I'm
riled, I thoot."
"Hour hiin ho thootsl" shouted tho
terror as he lunghed all over. "Say,
boys, whnt is this thing anyway?"
" Wath you referring to me?" asked
the young mnn.
"Of courre I was. Whose trunk or
carpetbng did you esenpo from?"
"Thir, I thee thath you wont me to
thoot you, nnd therefore I will thout
nnless you go awuy."
"Ho will thoot! Hn, ha, hal Some-
body git some sugar aud rag. Mebhe
he hungry."
"I don't like to thoot, but I thee I
musth," said the young man, nnd before
anybody realized what lie was nt he had
pulled out a little popper of n pop nntl
sent six buckshot bullets into Hunk
Thompson's nnutmny. Tho big fellow
staggered about and fell down, and ev
ery body thought he was dono for until
a doctor looked him over and said no
vital spot hud been touched. Hnuk lay
with 4) is eyes closed for a long, long
time, ibut he finully opened them and
fuintly asked:
"Boys, have I bin shot or what?"
"Yes, you've bin shot, " answered ona
"Who did it?"
"The young foliar that looks like a
girl and lisps."
"Great Scott, you don't tell me1"
"Yes, ho drlv six bullets right Inter
yer rareuss, Hank, and you won't cau
tcr about for a mouMi to come."
"And it was that feller?"
"Yea"
"Waul, dura my hide, I've alius
heard that nnthin on the facoof this
airlh could lisp and shoot, too, but the
fellers tlint told 1110 hudn't novor run

Ills Mistake.
Clergymen are frequently good story
tollers, but, as a rule., 1 proper dignity
prevents them from wanting to appear
in that light publicly. Tho following
was narrated to a reporter by a populur
dirino :
"Iu tho days of my early ministry,"
he euid, "I thought it necessury to im
press thoughts of salvation by every
thing I uttered, nnd I am afraid I wus
sometimes not altogether discreet
"My first work wns in a western
miuing camp, und I hud to remain over
night at a rongb hotel to wait for a
stage to convey me to my destination.
At the tublo a savago looking man said
gruffly 1
" "What might bo yer line, young fel
ler?" " 'Saving souls,' I said solemnly.
'Ughl' was the only response.
"After supper a coarsely dressed man
approached me aud said:
" 'Purduor, In' '1 make some kind o'
dicker. We're in ther same line, au
thar ain't room for both. There's a
camp furder up the oriok whar yo' oould
do well. '
" 'I think you are mistaken, uiy
friend, ' I said. 'I am a minister of the
gospel.'
" 4 'Souse me, parson, I thought yo
was a cobbler I' " Washington Star.
A Fineashlon Tree
One of the oddest trees in the world
is the ynoon palm, which grows la the
southwestern part of the United States
and in Mexico. It may well be called
the pinouahion tree, for the Indians
who live thereout the palms down, saw
them into sections a few inches long
and round over the white pith inside
and sell them for pincushions. Pins and
needles stiok easily into the spongy pith,
and it is said that it helps to keep them
bright and clean. CUioago Record.
Gilbert and Totes.
W. S. Gilbert was chatting with some
friends in a well known literary olub
one day when the lute Edmund Yates
entered, looking very thoughtful, and
sat down in moody silence. "What's the
matter with Yates?" whispered one of
the party. "He maintains quite a reli
gious sileuoa" "YeV'saidGUbert,"b

GOQ AND MAGOG.
Tarlnns Trad It Inns Relating to TlieseTwo
I'amous Giants.
Who were Gog and Mngog? English
tradition says that they were tho lust of
a race of ginuts who infested England
until they were destroyed by some of
the Trojans who went to tho British
isles after the destruction of Troy. Gog
and Mngog, it is said, were taken cap
tive to London, where they were chained
at the door tf the pnlnce of the king.
When they died, wooden images of the
tWo giants were put iu their places. In
the course of time a great fire destroyed
these, but now, if you tto to London,
you will see in the great ball of one of
the funious buildings the Guiklhall
two Jmuieuse wooden effigies of meu,
called Gog and Magog.
But there are other traditions of the
two giuiils. One is to the effect that
wlwu Alexander the Great overran Asia,
he -ehnsed into the mountains of the
north nn impure, wicked and man oat
inr people who were 82 nations in num
ber, and who werenhut up with a ram
part in which were gates of brass. One
of these nutious was Goth and another
Magnth, from which wo readily get the
names of tho mythical giants. It is sup
posed, however, hut tho Turks wei
meant by Gog and the Mongols were
the children of II agog. We sliull find
mention made of Gog and Magog in
many books, including tho Bible, hut
there is the grer.t wull and the rum
part of Gog and Magog, whatever may
Lave been the fact thut gave the names
of the two giants to thut .portion of the
trnoture. Noah Brooks iu St Nicho

.Napoleon ordered Marmout, in case
Blucher should sesume the offousivo, to
.abandon, Paris aud hasten to Chalons.
This was not a siuddon .decision. The
contingency had been mentioned in a
letter of Feb. H -to Joseph, and again
from Reims envphatio injunctions to
keep tho empress and tucking of Borne
from falling into Austrian hands were
issued to the same correspondent "Do

A BenuurkakOe Fortnao.
In the northern part of Madagascar
is the most remarkable natural fortress
in the world. It is occupied by a wild
tribe who cull themselves the people
of the rocks. The fortress is a lofty
and precipitous rook of enormous size,
1,000 feet high and 8 square miles in
area. Its sides are so sleep that it can
not be climbed without artificial means.
Within it is hollow, and the only en

IN NATURAL COLORS.
Lifelike Tints Imparted to an Ordinary
Photograph.
It hns been known for a long tiino
that if the nun's rays' are allowed to
shine upon the glass side of a photo
grnphio negative and tho eye isbrnnght
into the proper position it is possible
to see the positive picture in the or i gl
im) nnturnl colors of the object photo
graphed. . From a scientific standpoint
this is sometimes a mutter of very
great importance. In order to bring out
this quality of a negative independently
of the sun's rays Professor Lippmann
has, after long study, constructed an
oppnrntns which enables him tn obtain
the same result with artificial light. Ho
employs a gas lamp with a Welslmrh
burner, the rnys of which are thrown
upon the negntive by means of a lens,
in order to have the rnys strike the neg
ative pnrallol.
The negative is for the purposo
mounted upon a wooden stand with a
black polished surface Another largo
lens, held in a block frame, is mounted
on a separate stand, and a diaphragm
held upon the same stand is provided
immediately in front of the focus of
this larger lens. To see the picture in
all its natural beauty of color the angle
at which the negative is examined must
bo exactly the same as the angle at
which the parallel rays strike it It is
in the reflection of the light rays and
its distribution through the larger lens
that the picture, which is fastened upon
the ncgativo In dull black tones, is
again dissolved into its original re
splendent beauty. Aside from its scien
tific importance, it is a matter of con
siderable moment, for instance, in re
production of portraits in oil after a
photograph, since tints of hair, eyes
and complexion are plainly discernible
in the artificially colored positive thus
produced from the black negative. Ex

The greatest danger to those who dive

Supposing that had happened in a

As a matter of fact, and in spite of
its having carried Mohammed in four
leaps from Jerusalem to Moooa, seven
miles an hour is the camel's limit, nor
can it maintain this rate over two hours.
Its usual speed is five miles an hour
a slow pace, beyond which it is dan
gerous to urge it, lest, as Asiatics say,
it tnight break its heart and die literally
on the spot
- When a camel ia pressed beyond this
speed, and is spent, it kneels down, and
not all the wolves in Asia will moke it
budge again. The camel remains where
it kneels, and where it kneels it dies.

said she, "for $15, aud when he went
out to ride it the first thing you know
it foil apart. 'Why don't you go,' sea l
to him, 'and get a good wheel and pay
for it on the European pluu?' " Yester
day she went over to o neighbor's house
