Smmorous department. He Used Bible Every Sunday. Stories of surprises in cross examination were exchanged in a small group of men the other day, nearly all of which had been published in the newspapers, and then the following was sprung by an Illinois man: "Years ago one of the prominent lawyers of central Illinois was D. G. Tunnicllff, afterwards justice of the State supreme court. TunniclifT was a great wit and a very smooth article on cross examination. He did not often get the worst of it from anybody. He seldom attempted bulldozing in cross examination, but could back an unwary man mm umvai ???,/ admission. "One day Tunnicliff had an old farmer named Dave Brown on the opposite side and the value of the old man's testimony depended upon his claim that he could not read. It was believed that he could read a little and Tunnicliff tried to trap him. After several adroit efforts which old Dave neatly sidestepped, the lawyer changed the subject and "wandered away from the leading question. Suddenly he asked: " 'Have you a Bible in your home, Mr. Brown?'" " 'Yes, sir, a family Bible. Had it for years.' " 'I am glad to hear that. Every good man should have a Bible in his home. You use your ciok, x " 'Yes, sir. I use it regular." " 'That's right. A good man should use his Bible often. About how often do you use your Bible?' " 'Every Sunday morning, sir' said the old man, with apparent interest. " 'Every Sunday morning. That is commendable. There is no more appropriate time for using the Bible than on Sabbath morning. And what do you use your Bible for on Sabbath morning?' " 'To strop my razor, sir."" Rose Equal to the Emergency.? As an old colored preacher who had been conducting a revival meeting was reaching the end of his series, he appeared before the congregation one night, says the Indianapolis News, and spoke thus: "Brethren and sisters, I come befo' you all ^wholly unprepared with my text. I hab been preaching' all so'ts of things and to show the brethren and sisters that I have not said all that I know, I will ask that some membah of this congregation suggest a subject and I will preach about it to you." For several minutes there was an embarrassing silence while the minister scowled over the top of his glasses, waiting for some one to propose a topic. Nn nnc seemed anxious to take ad vantage of the opportunity, until finally a little fellow in the back part of the church yelled out, "Pills." There was a snicker as the preacher cleared his voice and said: "Pills. I hab been requested by some membah of this congregation to discourse befo' you all on 'pills.' Now brethren and sistern, I am not familiah wid the ways of medicine for I am a preacher man. but as I said I would talk on any subject that was proposed, 'pills' will be my text. Now to begin with, there are quinine pills, calomel pills, big pills and little pills what the doctor do prescribe when the flesh am sick. But I propose to talk to you about the kind of medicine what de soul needs when it am sick? gospills." Lawyer and Judge Agreed.?The ninth district of Ohio was represented in congress by Judge Hall and this good story is told of him, says the Nashville Banner: A case of some importance was reached on the docket, and the parties and witnesses were on hand. The attorney for the plaintiff, Charles Brown was considerably in his cups, a condition which seemed chronic with the really brilliant lawyer. He submitted motion after motion, and the court did not appear to humor his extravagant demands, realizing, too, that the attorney was not in a condition to procppri with the case. Brown was per slstent, and Judge Hall, becoming somewhat irritated, said: "It is the opinion of this court that the counsel for the plaintiff is peculiarly disqualified at this time for conducting this case before the court." "What is that, your honor?" demanded the intoxicated lawyer. "The court believes the counsel for the plaintiff entirely too drunk to continue with the case." "That is the first correct decision I ever knew your honor to render." Noah Waded In the Mud.?The Baltimore Sun says that at Wesley Grove camp meeting last month the subject of 'eternal damnation" was introduced by one of a party of ministers and laymen who were lounging about in one of the reception tents on Preachers' Row, enjoying secular relaxation and social intercourse. One gentleman addressed Bishop W. A. Candler, of the South Methodist Episcopal church, and said: "Bishop, surely you don't believe that God would permit anybody to be damned, do you? Don't you think God is too good for that?" To this the Methodist with Universalists predilections bishop replied: "I don't know about that. Biblicalhistory would seem to be to the con trary. According to the theory implied in what you say all the wicked people who were drowned in the flood went straight to Heaven and to eternal rest, away from the cares of this world, while the only good man in the whole world at the time was left wading around in the mud." An Odd Compliment.?An Irishman was in the company of a widow to whom he was paying his addresses, when on giving a shudder she made use of the common expression that some one was walking over her grave. Pat, anxious for every opportunity of showing his affection for the lady of his choice, exclaimed: "By the powers, ma'am, but I wish I was the happy man." pisallantouis grading.

The descendants of Mary Setoun, one of the four maids of honor to Mary Queen of Scots, have in th#r possession a curious watch, which was given by that Queen to her favorite. The watch, which is in the shape of a miniature skull, is about two inches and a half in diameter. It is supposed to have been purchased by Mary herself when on a visit to Blois with her husband, the Dauphin of France, as it has the name of a celebrated Blois manufacturer engraved upon it. The entire skull is curiously engraved. On the forehead there is the picture of death, with the usual scythe and hour glass. He is depicted as standing between a palace and a hovel, to show that he is no respecter of persons, and underneath is the familiar quotation from Horace, "Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas Regumque turres." At the back of the skull is another representation, this one being the Time devouring everything. Time also carries a scythe, and beside him is the emblem of eternity ?the serpent with its tail in its mouth. The upper section of the skull is divided into two pictures. On one side is the crucifixion, with the Marys kneel lng at the foot or tne cross, anu on the other side are Adam and Eve surrounded by animals in the garden of Eden. Below these pictures, running right round the skull, there is an open work band, to allow the sound of the striking of the watch to be heard. The openwork is a series of designs cut to represent the various emblems of the crucifixion, such as scourges, the cross, sword, spears, the lantern used in the garden, and so forth. All of the carvings have appropriate Latin quotations. By reversing the skull and holding the upper part in the palm of the hand and lifting the under jaw on its hinges the watch may be opened, and on the plate inside is a representation of the stable at Bethlehem, with the shepherds and their flocks in the distance. The works of the watch are in the skull, the dial plate being where the roof of the mouth would be in a real skull. This is of silver and gold, with elaborate scrolls, while the hours are marked in large Roman letters. The works are remarkably complete even in a large silver bell with a musical sound, which holds the works in the skull when the watch is closed. This curious old watch is still in perfect order and when wound every day keeps accurate time. It is too large to be worn and was probably intended for a desk of private altar.? New York Commercial. THE SLY WEASEL. How He Finally Trapped and Killed a Monster Rat. A sawmill in an Iowa town was infested with rats, which, being unmolested, became very numerous and bold and played round the mill among: the men while they worked during the day. But one day a weasel came upon the scene and at once declared war on the rats. One by one the rats became victims of the weasel's superior strength until only one very large, strong fellow was left of the once numerous colony. The weasel attacked the big rat several times, but each time the rat proved more than a match for his slender antagonist and chased the weasel to a hiding place. One day the weasel was seen busily digging under a lumber pile near the mill. He was engaged for some time, but later appeared again in the mill, seeking his old enemy. He soon found him and at once renewed hostilities. As usual, after a lively tussle, the rat proved too much for him, and he ran, pursued closely by the rat, straight to the hole under the lumber pile. He ran in, still followed by the rat, almost immediately reappeared round the end of the pile and again dodged into the hole behind the rat. Neither was seen again for some time, but the weasel finally reappeared looking no worse for the fight. The curiosity of the men in the mill was aroused, and they proceeded to investigate the hole under the lumber pile. They found that the weasel had dug the hole sufficiently large at the first end to admit the rat, but had gradually tapered it as he proceeded until at the other end it barely allowed his own slender body to pass. When the rat chased him into the large end of this underground funnel he quickly slipped on through, and while the iat was trying to squeeze his large body into the smaller part of the hole the weasel dodged in behind him and, catching him in the rear and in a place where he could not turn round, finished him at his leisure. CHIEF HAD A CLOSE CALL. Chinese Rebel's Story of an Expedition to Canton. Few people have had the experiences. the close calls with death, and the strenuous days and nights that It has been the lot of Dr. Sun Wen, the Chlnpse revolutionist, to encounter, and lived to tell of them; few have been In such proximity to horror and torture and had the marvelous good fortune to escape unscathed and leaves from the doctor's diary might well go to make up the pages of a most thrilling and unusual romance. Dr. Sun, a modern Chinese, a patriot. whose life's aim it Is to help overthrow the cruel rule of the Manchus, and give to China a model republican form of government, spent over a week in the city recently, stirring up tne local Mongolians to aid in the cause, and during the time many a story lid he tell in his faultless English to interested American listeners of his hairbreadth escapes while engaged in the struggle for freedom in South China. It was in Canton, back in 1895, that Dr. Sun saw death close upon him, not an easy, gentle death, as nature grants, but death in a repellant, awful guise, death at the hands of brutal torturers and executioners, bloody-minded men, who delight in causing pain and who revel in human suffering. "I well remember the night that 1 fled through the narrow, winding streets of Canton, with the death cry at my heels," said the doctor while telling his story to a few American acquaintances in the front room of the Che Kung Tong, in Elk place, a few evenings ago. "The Viceroy's guard was after me, a price was on my head, and the whole city was aroused to prevent my escape," he continued. "Our society had long been planning a general rising in Canton; there were many thousands of us banded together in the cause of freedom, and it was our plan to rise at night, capture the garrison and he come masters of the city. "One of the Viceroy's agents joined our society, and informed on us, and then, of course, our cause was dead for the time. I was in my house on the evening of the night we were to attempt to take the city, busy v. itl. Hui, my chief lieutenant, perfecting final arrangements, when into the room rushed a young boy I had in my employ. "He cried out to me that soldiers were coming, that many of our people had been arrested, and that it was time to fly. Hui and I darted through the house and gained a narrow lane that skirted the rear wall of my residence. "I was just beginning to congratulate myself upon present safety when a party of soldiers who had been lurKing in an alley sprang upon me. I fled through dark streets and over uneven pavements, and just as I heard the footsteps of my nearest pursuers sounding close behind me, and when I was giving myself up for lost, a door in a wall alongside of which I was running was thrown open, a pair of strong arms seized me, and I was drawn through the aperture. "The door was closed and o.uietl.v bolted and panting for Breath and standing in darkness with my unknown preserver's hand stlli on my shoulder, I heard the soldiers go raving by, and concluded they had not seen me vanish in the wall because o." the blackness of the night. "The man who rescued mo proved to be one of our society. He had heard the chase sounding far down the street, and concluding that it yas one of his comrades being hunfd he stood by the door ready to act at the right moment. He was a servant, sort of doorkeeper, in the house of a wealthy mandarin, one of the Government party, and it was in the mandarin's house where I found temporary refuge. "I heard the next morning that poor Hui and two other of my chief officers had been captured, and were tnai very day to be tortured by the most cruel devices to extort from them a confession as to the extent of the conspiracy. "I lay concealed for three days, and on the fourth day, happening to look out the window of my room, Just over the gate, attracted by the sound of cymbals and barbaric music, I started back with horror at what I saw. "I was overlooking an open space, a sort of square, and in the square were many people gathered, watching a grim tragedy that was being enacted under their eyes. In the center of the throng stood several lines of soldiers, and beyond them I saw Hui and several of our brotherhood of freedom being prepared for execution. "Hui's head was swathed in bloody bandages, and I learned later that he had been subjected to an awful form of torture. His head had been put In a vise-like arangement, and the machine screwed together until the flesh was torn away and the bare skull exposed. Poor fellow, he bore the ordeal bravely, and not a ,word could his tormentors wring from him. "i saw nui Kueei on me iiju.l u> middle of the square; a wretched fellow, with red stains on his arms and clothes, foul with human blood, grabbed his queue and jerked his head brutally forward, and then a fat, thick-bodied fellow, with features unmistakably Tartar, appeared, and holding; a short sword in his hand, approached the suffering victim. The villain raised his sword, brought it down with a quick side sweep, and Hui's head bounded from his shoulcTers and struck the grinning scoundrel holding the queue in his hands in the stomach. 'The trunk of the slaughtered body spouted blood, and sick with the sight of my friend's torture I turned away from the window, unwilling to witness more such scenes. That very night my preserver came to me and told me that I would have to leave the house, as his master, the mandarin, suspected that something was wrong and had closely questioned him. "I got out shortly after dark, and It was lucky that I did, as the mandarin searched the rear building where I had lain concealed an hour after my departure, and finding evidence of my having been there arrested his servant and put him to the torture to compel him to divulge my whereabouts. The poor fellow was unable to do that, and his cruel master, turning him over to the hard law as a harborer of traitors, he was beheaded the next day. 'I made my way to the river and found some of the brotherhood on board a little sampan which carried rice. I lay concealed beneath freight on that sampan for two days, and the following night escaped to Maccao, the Portuguese settlement up the river, on my own launch, which had been concealed in a quiet lagoon and brought to the sampan by one of my faithful servants when he discovered wh^ro T wfl.Q hiririan M?"Mow Orleans Picayune. 8TRANGE TERRITORY Of Mammoth Bears and Big Eagles Are the Aleutian Islands. The simple annnouncement that Mrs. Annie Vessey, of Kadiak, Alaska, had returned to her home after a visit to Seattle, as reported in the society columns of the newspapers, meant little to the average reader, but the visit itself meant much to Mrs. Vessey, for it was the first time she had been outside Alaska. Never before had she ridden on a street car, seen a locomotive, been within a theatre or witnessed the complex life of a city. All was new and strange to her. Her 20 years were spent entirely on Kadiak Island and the islands of the Aleutian group. Mrs. Vessey's father, a descendant of the ancient house of Russia, went to Alaska in 1860, and lived there continuously in the Russian settlements of the Aleutians. Mrs. Vessey speaks Russian as well as English and several Indian tongues, and her trip to Seattle was as interpreter for the party of Aleutian islanders that went to the St. Louis exposition recently. While here the interpreter, with her baby 1 year old, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sandley. The baby Mrs. Vessey dresses in suits made of squirrel skins, such as the natives wear. Just before leaving Alaska Mrs. Vessey's mother shot a mammoth bear and forwarded the head to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D. C. For the specimen the Directors of the big scientific museum sent Its stay C Art fk/v nln.ll n.AttA lm. CI fOUV. XII IIIC 9ZVU11 VV CI C LUUUU 1U?bedded a number of old-time Russian hand-made bullets, carried no one knows how long by the Alaska bear after victorious meetings with his natural enemies. In the Aleutian islands the natives have so long been under the Russian Influence that the Greek Church is thoroughly established, and all its festivals and rites are observed most faithfully. The natives are numerous. Eagles grow to an enormous size on Kadiak and other islands, and the government pays a bounty on each one killed, for they carry off the sneep and are destructive in many ways. The long days of the summer season makes the grass most abundant, and it grows to a height of five feet, while berries also grow plentifully and entirely without cultivation. On account of the numerous wild flowers there are many kinds of bugs aud insects, rare species of butterflies and bees. Mrs. Vessey's father makes a good income. Cattle do well, but must be fed heavily because of the long and severe winters. Some mining is done. The climate as a whole is most healthful.?Seattle Times.
