Within the present century Dot lei than a half dozen delnded mor tals residing within the limit of the United State have claimed to be Christ retained to earth, and the queer thing in connection with the ministry of suoh fanatics is the foot that tbey can per eaade persona who are supposed to have fair amount of brains to believe that they are all tbey claim to be. Sinoe 1880 five different seota have been founded In the United States the members of which claimed the ability of either themselves or their founder to live forever. Each of these queer com munities has been known by it neigh bor aa "the immortals," and each baa In the course of time come to grief, a 11 such visionary dreamer unit The last deluded being to found sect on the theory that he himself, at least, was immortal was David Patterson, who was known to bis follower as "the eye of Jehovah." The Patterson leot were known a "the ohildren of Zlon. " Their headquarter were mainly at Grand Rapid, Mich., although there were up ward of a dosen branch organisations in the different states of the Union. Pat terson olaimed that be would never die, and the great tenet of faith with the ohildren of Zion was belief in the claims Whiob their leader made. In 1888 this elf ityled "eye of Jehovah" began to grow dim in other word, to waste away with an inourable disease. Finally he went to France, where be died, just as all other mortal have done or will da Tbi cured the delusion of the Mich Igander at Grand Rapids, who aoon awoke to the fact that their leader bad either been craiy fanatio or blas phemer.

The teachers of an east aide sewing school have been much annoyed of late by the children making all sort of ex cuse to got ont early, So many and so urgent were these request that the school became more or less demoralized in consequence, And tho wealthy womon who were it philanthrope aiid finan cial backers advised the teachers to ren der null and void any more appeal of the sort This the teacher endeavored to da The other morning, however, litle girl, after the preliminary band raising, announoed that it was impera tive that she leave at a quarter of IS o'clock. "Why can't you stay until 1ST" asked the teaoher. "It is only IS minute later, and it create disorder for yon to leave before the rest. " "Mamma wishes me to leave at quarter oi is," returned the child wltb an assumption of the grand manner that, in spite of her rag and tangled hair, muoh Im pressed even the teaoher. "You see," went on ' the little girl, "it give the waitress so muoh trouble to prepare me an extra luncheon, and that' what she ha to do when I don't get home until after 13. Mamma wouldn't ask it if It wasn't for the waitress and the lunoh- n." The teacher was even more impressed with "the waitress" and the "lunch eon" than she had been with "mam ma," so ahe granted the request But aa the little one akipped gleefully past the others to get her wraps the teaoher heard one of the other ohildren say: "I say, Mamie, what did ye mean by put tin up that awful bluff T Muoh mamma and waitress and luncheon you've got!" "Of course I baven't got 'em," replied Mamie, "but I've heard that rioh little girl that Uvea around the corner talk ft heap about 'em, and I Just thought I'd try it too." Mew York Sun. The Kern Ifewatwy, banker who counts his wealth by even figures, and an exceptionally well known figure on the streets of Chicago, came out of his office about dusk the other evening. As he reached the oorner he stepped up to newsboy and bought the evening papers, but when he felt In his pocket for change he discovered he did not have single penny. He fumbled first through one pocket, then another, but the aearoh was fruitless. "I have no change," he said to the newsboy, who had patiently waited for hi pay, as he handed back his papers. "Hain't yer got any money tonight?" the urchin asked. "Not cent," answered the banker. "That's all right, "said the newsboy, "I kin lend yon some. How muoh d'yer want"" The banker looked at the boy and smiled knowingly. The unusual ciroum stance of street arab proffering loan to ft millionaire banker struck him as being particularly oomloaL He took ft quick mental survey of she boy and de cided what to do. "Ohrame quarter," he said. He paid for his papers and pocketed the re maining change. Then, taming to the boy, be said: "It's bad habit, that of giving cred it to strangers on the street and loaning them money. Ton don't know who I am or whether you'll ever get your money back. " "Oh, I know yon. You're president O' tost bank over there." "Come to my office tomorrow and set back your loan, " said the banker as he walked to the cable oar. And the newsboy -kept right on call lug his papers. Chicago Chronicle. One of the peculiarities of the ancient writers on natural history subjects was the implicit faith whioh tbey plaoed in the genuineness of the various basilisk and dragon stories whioh were, told to them. Brunette for an instance to the point, relates with all soberness that "the basilisk Is -she king of serpents. He wears a white crest upon his head, and snob is the abnndanoe of his -venom that the air is poisoned wherever this dire reptile passes. Trees in which he makes his home exhale suoh poisonous odor that birds in flying over re so overcome with it that they fall to the ground dead. "The dragon, " says the same author, ''is the very largest of serpents and in' habits siapeoially India and Ethiopia. When ce flies out of the caverns in whioh he makes his home, he furrows the air with auoh violence aa to make it gleam with fire. His mouth Is small. and he has not the power to infliot dead ly wounda with his teeth. In his tail. however, hia power lies, and with it he can Instantly strangle the largess ele fphant."

Pjik Me Up, THE RETIRED BURGLAR. Bis Most Cnespeeted Recovery of a Long Lost Dog. 'Speaking of watchdogs, " said the retired burglar, "I nover owned a watchdog, but I did once own a jolly little mongrel dog that we called some times Nibs,-but mostly Nibsy, a lively, sensitive little fellow, but no watchdog. Yon might have played brass band outside, and he'd never hear it hut let anybody that he knew walk across the floor, and he'd wag bis tail in his sleep. 'Well, after we'd had Nibsy a num ber of years we lost him. He just disap peared one day and didn't come back. and we didn't know whether he'd been run over by train of oara or strayed away and got lost, or whether somebody bad picked him np and oanried him off, or what was the matter, but he didn't oome book, and we missed him very much because we all liked Nibsy. "Now, maybe yon ean guesa what happened. One morning early, about S or half past S, some months after that, a I wa moving slowly in tbe dark across room on the second floor of a house that I had called at some SO miles from where I lived, I felt tbe lega of a email dog thrown against mine. I couldn't aee the dog at all, but it waa standing on Its hind leg and resting its fore legs against me, and I oould tell by tbe movement of them that be was wag ging hia tail violently. It waa Nibsy, of course. He'd known my tread, soft as it was, and woke up to receive me. "Well, you know, glad a I wa to find Nibsy, I'd rather not have found him right there, beoause he wa almost certain to make trouble for ma He be gan to whine with joy the first thing, and tben he gave a little yelp. That was just what I was afraid of. He didn't want to make any trouble for me, but that one yelp waa enough. A man in the bed aits np and pulls a string and tarns on a light and aaya: " 'Now, what's the malterr "And I puts up a great polar bluff and says, 'Yon swiped my dog, and I've oocds to get him. ' '"Swiped nothing,' he says. 'I'll swipe you in a minute,' and he wasn't low In getting at it either. He was getting out of bed and ooming for me all the time he was talking, and a good healthy, powerful looking man he was too. But Nibsy was brigbt Nibsy made just one dive at the tuan'a feat bnt that waa enough to atop him nntil I'd got turned and started, and a minute later I waa going down tbe road, with Nibsy ooming on behind." New York Sun. Copper From Oveea Water. One of the most Interesting sight in the great mining town of Butte i the process by which oopper 1 caught from the emerald colored water that flow from the Anaconda and St Lawrence mine. It is estimated that this water, whioh for four or five years went to waste, ia now bringing tbe Anaconda company $30,000 a month at coat of boat $1,000 month. At the present time several sores of ground are covered with wooden vats. These are filled with all the old aorap iron tbey own hold. Ithasprovedaaplen- did scheme for disposing of tbe tona and tons of old Iron the company baa aeon mulated for years. Old hoisting osges, water pipe, wheelbarrows, railroad iron in faat, any old thing that consists of tin or iron is approprated to this aerv ioe. It la aaid for every pound of iron put into a vat pound of copper ia produced, Where the water first attacks the iron, the copper absorb the iron completely within three week. After tbe preoipt tation is effeoted the water is drawn off and the slimy copper is transferred to another tank, where toe water ia further drained off. These latter vats hold about IS ton of the oopper, whioh now has the appearance of a olayish sub stance. This is lacked into packages of about 100 pounds.

What brings about the end of books? I it fire, water, worms? A every sblp lannohcd ia bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, tbe flnia of the book ia its rednotion to ashes. What be came of the Alexandrian library? Did the Saracens burn it in 640? There is this question asked; Was there any li- . brary at Alexandria containing 700,000 books? Gibbon inollnes to the opinion that there was no suoh library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been ft library it was burned in the time of Ju lias Caesar. Tradition seem to indicate, however, that there wai a library in the Serapeoai, by no met na large ool-, lection, but whether destroyed by Tbe- ophilus or Tbeodosius ia not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Re cent explorations of Alexandria, 1895-6, show no traces of tbe Serapeum. The seaport of Egypt waa built on damp foundation, and, granting that there) waa a library, if not destroyed by fin, then tbe papyri might have suffered from decay due to water. Books of to day taken to India, to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew. New York Times. A Great Brandy Drinker.

His name is Jobn Huduall, ana ho owns a brandy distillery near Linda. He has need liquor as a beverage since early youth, and for the past 20 years has consumed half a gallon of brandy day. He is not an inebriate by any meuns, not becoming intoxicated by th brandy. He is hale and hearty and . stands well in the community where fa lives as a business man. No explanation can bo given of hia remarkable power of withstanding tbe effects of liquor, . but no one who knows him doubts the ttntement as to bis having taken tbe amount I have aaid. It haa not impaired hia digeation in the alightest degree, as it ia usually claimed it will do." Washington Star. School Isnpiovement.
