You saved my life, wicked one. If I had jumped I might have killed you.’’ THE KENTUCKY PREACHER. How Brother Penrod Got » Congrega tion Willing to Hear Rim. “When I give out that I would preach at the head o’ Trace Fork,” said Rev. Lemuel Penrod, “my friends all up an’ tole me I’d never git a con gregashun. They sed there wuz never a rope of savin’ grace made stout enough to drag them 'ar natives to the fear uv the spirit. “But I knowed better. Although you may think I wuz city born, an’ have wore out the backs uv many coats against college walls, hits all er mistake. I wuz born an’ fotched up in the mountings. I know ye don’t believe hit. Hit looks unreasonable, but, suh, I’m er 6elf-made man. I edercated myse’f. I hain’t got no body but the Lord an’ myse’f to thank for the work I hev done, suh. “What did I do ter get the crowd? That’s what I’m swingin’ er round to. Wall, suh, I got me a spring wagin’ an' set six four-gallon jugs in the back part uv it Every house I’d pass on the way ter preachin’ grounds I'd lift up a jug an’ pretend ter be drink in’. Then I’d set down the jug, lift up mer voice an’ shout? ‘Come all ye thet famish an’ thirst for the blessed Spirit ter the head o’ Injun, an’ ye shall be filled?’ The whole family all their visitors, wud take arter my wagin. I kep' repeatin' this dose in front uv every house, an’ when I got ter the place fer preachin’ I had the biggest gatherin’ thet ever had been seen in that neck o’ the woods. A re vival begun at once. Forty souls war brought ter Christ, an’ only one man killed durin’ that blessed week!” How the Eskimo Count. The Eskimo count their fingers— one, two, three, four,five. Above five, and up to ten they use the second! hand: thus, six is “the first finger of the other hand.” Above ten they era ploy the toes. Thirteen, for instance, is “three toes upon the one foot.” a^nd eighteen, “three toes on the second foot.” Twenty they describe 9U a “whole man.” They seldom, go farther than this, but they capi do so if necessary. For example, tfaley ex press twenty-two by saying, ‘ftwo on the second man;” thirty- se/ve a by “two toes on the second man’ls second foot;" forty is “the whole o/t a second man.” According to Dr. Nansen they cannot, or at least do not^ count be yond one hundred, which the whole of the fifth man.” Woman’s Contempt for this Burglar. What has come over she woman that she should suddenly begin all over the country to hunt,) shoot, cap ture and scare her own burglars? Every other day some woman scares a burglar almost to deatlh. Mrs. Sa rah McGregor of Jamaica, a lone wid ow, frightened her burglhr through a glass window recently a fad then shot at him, so that he bledi in her front yard. The burglar was/ not caught. A burglar fills a man With fear. He appears to inspire contempt, or in dignation at most, in a Woman. “You get right out of here!’! is what the Widow McGregor said. I Or.

Charley Davit tells a food story anent Mark Twain, In which the hu morist was for once out-humored. Davis was then with the Forepaugh show, whioh happened at that partle. ular date to be playing at Hartford The enterprising agent thought it would be a good advertisement to get an interview arranged between Twain and the Indians then a feature of the circus. He called upon the humorist and laid the matter before him. Mark said he didn’t care for Indians and was busy, and didn’t see what the In dians had to do with him, anyway. “Why, the fact is,” replied the cir cus man, with a gravity worthy of a higher life, “they have heard of you and want naturally to see you.” This didn’t appear to be strange to Mr. Clemens. Still, he was indis posed to grant the request until Davis swore that a big Sioux chief had de clared that he would never die happy if compelled to return to the reserva tion without having seen and spoken to the man whose fame was as wide as the world. "All right,” said Twain. “Run ’em in at six and let us make it short.” _ About that hour the humorist sat on his porch and saw to his astonishment an immense cavalcade of mounted warriors coming down the street. In the place of a half dozen chiefs ex pected, there were not less than fifty savages tearing along like mad in ex hibition of their horsemanship. They turned in upon the lawn and broke down the shrubbery and wore oft the grass and devastated the whole place. The spokesman of the party was a mighty hunter and had been previous ly informed that Twain was distin guished for the awful slaughter of wild beasts, so he laid himself out for a game of brag. The interpreter was in the deal and, instead of repeating what the chief really said, made a speech of his own,speaking of Twain’s literary achievements. “For heaven’s sake, choke him off,” said Twain once or twice. The interpreter turned to the chief and said the white hunter wanted to hear more. And on he went. Every time the humorist cried for quarter the chief was told to give another hunting story. Finally, the Indian vocabulary becoming exhausted, the chief quit, whereupon Twain made a brief reply, which was quadrupled in length by the interpreter turning it into a marvelous hunting yarn. The chief listened with stolid indifference, but when they got away he grunted contemptuously and said: “White hunter heap big liar.’’ HER SON RETURNED. But Weary Baggier Wu a Trill* Tardy. “Madam,” he said, as she held the door open a little way and asked him what he wanted, “perhaps it so hap pened years ago that you had a son wander away from the family fire side?” “Yes, it did,” she replied, as she opened the door a little further. “He went out into the cold world and became a wanderer o'er the face of the earth?” “Yes, he did." “Days and weeks and months ran into years and you heard no word of him? You knew not whether ho lived or died?” “As you say, I knew nothing,” re plied the woman as she stood in the door and looked fixedly at the tramp. “Well, ma’am,” he continued, “I don’t want to raise any false hopes, but—but—’’ “But you are just a little too late,” she finished as he swallowed the lump in his throat, and tried to wipe away a tear. “My wandering son returned about two hours ago and is now tak ing a soak in the bathtub. Had you called early this morning, you know—” “Then the situation is filled?” “It is." “Just my luck, ma’am, but of course you are cot to blame for it. I con gratulate you and your wandering son and will bid you good day and try the family next door. ” The Cars of William'** Wardrobe. The task of looking after the uni. forms and other costumes of the Em peror William is by no means a sine cure. All these different and greatly varying articles of attire, as diversi fied as those at the disposal of a “star” actor, are carefully kept, sys tematically arrangod, in large ward robes, and at the head of the depart ment is an o : cial entitled the obergarderobier who has under his command two valcts-de-chambre. The nautical uniforms are placed under the charge of an ex-subofficer of the German navy. Before the em peror undertakes any one of his many expeditions the obergarderobier is provided with an exhaustive list of all the dresses and other parapher nalia that will be required.

The placing of a colossal figure ol William Penn on the Philadelphia eity hall has inspired a proposal to perpetuate the memory of Roger Williams, in the same way on the dome of Rhode Island's new state house. It is now reoalled that the Roger Williams monument association started a fund thirty* four years ago to erect a memorial column 330 feet high on Prospect hill. Zachanah Al len in his diary of that time says with amusing ignorance of the problem presented by the convexity of the earth. “A statue on the top of this oolumn would stand nearly 450 feet above tidewater. It would be conspicuous from Newport and Block Island, and I think from the statehouse in Boston.” Thus, It was suggested would the capital of the colony which disgraced its intelli gence by the banishment of Williams, be forever doomed to find his figure still within sight. The association failed to raise money enough to put up the oolumn, but tho sum was de posited in bank and has now in creased to a Considerable sum. There seems to be an impression that the top of the statehouse would be an ap propriate place for RogerWilliams and the association is advised to transfer its fund to the state if the govern ment will agree to thus honor him and will also bind itself to erect a statue elsewhere to another great' Rhode Islander, who has been neg lected, General Greene of revolution ary fame. A MODERN SAPPHO. She Jumped From a Tall OIIB to En« Bar Lite's Won. Some few days ago, writes an Odessa correspondent a young and pretty and elegantly attired girl of about 17 years of age, named Anna Popova, engaged a boatman at the Graffski landing stage at Sebastopol to take her to the monastery at Inker mann. On alighting at the rocky stairway leading up to the monastery the girl gave the boatman a pour boire of 10 copecks, promising to send out by a servant the 80 copecks for her fare. The boatman waited from 11 o’clock until noon, and was going ashore to inquire for his passenger, when she suddenly appeared upon the summit of the towering rock above the monastery, making signs to the boatman below. On approach ing nearer to the base of the cliff he was desired to deliver a letter which the girl flung down to him. At once divining her suicidal intention,' the boatman ran into the monastery and raised an alarm. A number of monks immediately came out and entreated the girl to descend from her perilous position, while one of their number ascended the tortuous acclivity and the unhap py girl sprang from the dizzy height of over a hundred feet and was killed instantly. It is stated that the poor child was driven to the dreadful apt by constant ill-treatment at home. Her father was a captain in the re serves. _ , PLAN OF VENTILATION. That of Massachusetts Schools Burs to Be Excellent. The plan of ventilating school houses in Massachusetts possesses, it is asserted, possibilities of insuring first-class results, even when, from certain unavoidable obstacles, only one inlet is provided, the same being located about eight feet above the floor, and as nearly as practicable in the center of the warm or inner side of the room. Of equal importance with the inlets is the size of the out lets, or foul air ducts, as well as their location, and it is found that for a fifty-foot schoolrooom the outlet duct should have an area of not less than five square feet net, this to be placed at the bottom or inner side, in case the air is to be taken from the first story down to the bottom of the foul air shaft in the basement. The rule is that in a room with two cold or ex posed sides the outlet should be as near the inner or warm angle of the room as possible, and, in a room with three exposed sides, the outlet should be as near the inner or warm side as practicable, this applying equally well whether the warm air is brought in through either one or two inlets. It is desirable that the outflow of air from the room through the outlet should be a little in excesseof the amount brought in at the warm-air inlet, tho difference being made up by air drawn into the room through cracks and various small openings. A Centenarian Donkey. Herbivorous animals are generall) thought to outlive carnivorous ones, and of the former class those dedi cated to labor appear to furnish the largest number of instances of lon gevity. A few years ago a donkey died at Cromarty which was known to be at least 100 years old. It could be traced back to the year 1779, when, at an unknown age, it came into the hands of the then Ross of Cromarty, and it lived in the same family "hale and hearty,” until a kick from a horse ended its career. No horse is known to have attained to any thin? like such an age as this, but a few have lived to ages varying from 40 to SO years. She Told Him the Beaton Why. “Why is it that you girls seem to think so much more of the men who come in here than you do of the wo men?” asked the man with an inter rogation point in his mind. “Is it be cause the men are more agreeable?” "Ob, no,” replied the saleslady, with a toss of her head. "It is because the men are such ninnies that they don't know what things ere worth. If they do it doesn't matter, if yon only ap pear to think they’re awfully bright or awfully good looking."
