Magistrate Hughes, of the Moyamensing avenue station, loves a Joke * and a good dinner, and if any prisoner under arrest for a petty offence, such as crooking his elbow, etc., can put up a good yam. he Is almost certain of lenient treatment. Last Sunday an individual who had seen better days was up before him for having indulged too freely on Saturday Qltht. "What's your name?" asked the; magistrate. "McGlnnls." "That's a good name?any trade?" "Plumber." "That's a good trade. Where are you from?" "Qulncy, 111." "That's a good place. Whom did you work for there?" "Bob Ingersoll." "He's dead." "Tea, but he wasn't dead then. I was in business for myself, and he said I was the only one who ever jot ahead of him." "Tell us about that. But don't make It too long." "It's not long. Ingersoll came Into my place and asked me to fix a sink at his house. 'How much money have you got In your clothes T says I. 'What!' says he. 'That's what,' says I, and he went Into his pocket and pulled up a roll. 'That'll do,' says I, taking it. 'Never mind about counting It; I'll do the job.' "'What do you mean?* says he. "'This,' says I. 'I was on a spree last night, and got locked up. In the next cell to me was a thief who was caught with the goods. He sent for you, and the first thing you did was to ask him how much money he had? and you took It. I'm doing the same thing by you.' " 'Keep the money,' says he." And the genial magistrate let the culprit go.?Philadelphia Telegraph. Lv Search of a Mark Down.? Whatever generosity a man may have usually shows Itself at his wedding, but Dr. Lapham In his "History of Woodstock, Me.," gives an instance of prudence on the part of a bridegroom which is, to say the least, unusual. Cases, he says, have been known where the future husband, has tried to beat down the parson employed to marry him, but it Is not often one hears of a bridegroom who tries the market as he would if he were selling farm produce. Mr. Smith prepared his little farmhouse for his prospective bride, who had promised to marry him on a certain date. He went to a justice of the peace and asked what his terms were for a wedding. The justice replied that the legal terms were $1.25, but that people usually paid 12. "That's too much for ten minutes' work." asserted Mr. Smith, and heap plied to another justice with the same result "Can the fee be paid in shingles?" he asked. "Yes." The man scratched his unkempt head. "I've got it!" he exclaimed. "My cart wheels have got to be repaired, and I can get Elder Ricker to do it for a dollar a day. He can marry us at noontime and it won't cost a cent" News Wouldn't Wait.?One of the big ocean liners was being mads fast to her pier the other afternoon. Impatient friends on the pier were signaling and shouting bits of news to equally impatent friends on deck, says the New York Sun. Among the announcements was this, hurled from the lips of a small girl in a very large velvet hat: "Oh, mamma, we've had the greatest time this morning " Something?perhaps the restraining gesture of the long suffering governess?made the mother, who leaned against the deck railing, raise her hand in warning to her daughter. "Never mind, dear," she shouted back, "tell me later!" 'D??* tKn 1<t + ln o-irl n-QO nrtt tn ho Clin pressed. She formed a megaphone with her small gloved hand and fairly I shrieked: "I can't wait! The cat had four kittens this morning, and James says he's going to drown 'em. Can't we telephone him to save 'em till you get home?please?" The embarrassed mother nodded a feeble assent and the small girl darted toward the public telephone station. Qrit3TiONABL.fi Compliment.?"My dear, I have a great compliment for you," said the Boston man to his New York niece, who was paying a month's visit and attending many serious entertainments. "A compliment?" and the pretty eyebrows were raised incredulously. "Yes," said her uncle, cordially. "Prof. Mildew said he noticed you particularly at the reception Monday afternoon, and he thought you had a most Intelligent face." "There, aunty," said the frivolous young person, turning reproachful eyes on her relative, "I told you I looked like a perfect frump in that brown dress, but you said I didn't! You see what he thought, don't you He couldn't think of another thing to say!"?Youth's Companion.

Ledger, April 15: Aaron Williams, the negro who was to have been hanged at Camden for the rape of Mrs. Langley last year, was granted a new trial last Thursday by the court now in session at Camden, on the ground of after discovered evidence.

Only an hour or so before the fife farm hands all went In'o the stables with their stock out of a shower of rain. It is possible that one of them might have smoked during the time they were In there and the fire have started later from the stub of a cigarette carelessly thrown down in the stable, but this Is only surmise. The property destroyed belonged to Dr. J. D. Nisbet and wa> valued at abou; $2,000. It was insured in the Witherspoon agency for $t>00 Mr. E W.

Claude, It seems, had a watch which he 'raded for a pistol. The pistol was not loaded, but In passing it around among some other boys, one of them, so he says, put in a cartridge unknown to him and when it was given back to him he snapped the trigger and It went off. The ball went thiough his left hand shattering some of the bones and through his left leg above the knee, inflicting a painful wound. Dr. J. M.

Emperor of Russia Takes Whatever He Wants. The manner In which monarchs are paid their salaries varies considerably. The emperor of Russia, for Instance Is the only European sovereign who is entitled to draw on the revenue ofi the country over which he rules whenever he pleases, and to almost an unlimited extent. All the vast sums accruing from various forms of taxation in Russia are banked to the credit of two officials named the Imperial treasurers, who discharge all tne liabilities of the Russian government. The czar, however, has the first call I upon the money paid Into It whenever he wishes, by simply directing the treasury officials to lodge so much money to his private account, giving them a voucher for the amount. Under the Russian constitution the czar is entitled to receive a seventh share of the revenue of the country, and though he, as a matter of fact, never draws upon the treasury to this extent, the emperor of Russia is yet by far the best paid and wealthiest of European monarchs. The emperor of Germany Is in receipt of a salary of $100,000 per annum from the state, but his Imperial majesty has, of course, many other ways of supplementing this pay, which would be a very poor one for the sovereign of a great power. The emperor also receives a "military and naval allowance," which amounts to a big sum, and the expenses In connection with the maintenance of the royal household at Potsdam are paid quarterly by the state treasury. King Edward receives a quarterly cheque from the paymaster general for his salary as monarch; the cheque Is what Is known as a negotiable receipt, and is sent to the keeper of the privy purse, by whom It is signed on behalf of the king, and then lodged to the credit of his majesty's private banking account. The emperor of Austria Is put to some personal inconvenience before he can obtain his salary, owing to the love of maintaining ancient and revered ceremonies that prevail In the Austrian court. On the 1st of June and the 1st of December the Austrian monarch pays a visit to the office of the state treasury, where he Is received by three important officials. One of these officials then reads out a document to the monarch, reminding him of the many duties he owes to the state, and exhorting him to the faithful performance of same. The document concludes with a mention of the amount of money that the emperor is entitled to receive from the state to maintain him In a position of such great dignity becomingly. The emperor is then asked If the amount is sufficient, and on his replying to the question In the affirmative. Is given a receipt to sign for the money, which Is, In due course, lodged to the credit of tne imperial account. The king of Portugal's salary is never paid to him direct, but Is Invested In the care of three officials, upon whom the king can draw whenever he requires money. This is an arrangement to which the king of Portugal has a distinct objection. but as It is a very old-fashioned custom his majesty would probably have some difficulty In having It altered. Each of the three pursekeepers, as these officials are called, receives 500 pounds per annum, which the king of Portugal has to pay out of his own pocket, so that the arrangement costs the king 1;600 pounds a year, which could be very easily saved by the dismissal of such entirely needless officials as the pursekeepers. The sultan of Turkey has no allowance or salary; he simply informs the grand vizier when he wants money, and that official has to see that the amount required is forthcoming promptly, otherwise It Is more than likely he might lose his head.?Pearson's Weekly. maicn ine uiiucb iviui tvmuu mcj mc worn.

Beads?strings of them?grow larger and brighter, until they are almost barbaric in their size and color. ? Low coiffures have entirely gone out of date. The present mode of hats demands that they should be high. ? The old-fashioned yellow leghorn has reappeared, and lace will be employed in the construction of hats even more than It ever was. ? China silk slip petticoats are growing steadily In favor. The prettiest of the new ones have shirring, and lace and hand-embroidered dots (big dots) by way of trimming. ? One of the loveliest of flowered stuffs Is black net with great roses, In their true colors, almost touching each other. The delicacy of the black makes it like a shadow Instead of a niihstnnre. ? It is the exception to find a hat that reveals more than a wee bit of the front hair?a stray curl or two perhaps?but no more. The very latere touch given the coiffure?more properly speaking the hat?is a bunch of short small curls jauntily tucked in under the hat brim. ? Short sleeves for daytime wear must be regarded now as an accepted fact. In other words, the sleeve must end at the elbow with no ruffle to soften it. A sleeve this length with a close band or a little turn-up cuff Is a feature of some of the gowns designed for afternoon wear. ? Hats, except turbans, must turn up either very high at one side or very high In the back. When they turn up In the back they are set on a bandeau and elaborately trimmed at that point. In fact. It Is safe to assert that during the coming season there will be two points for decoration, the immediate back or the left side. ? Every kind of linen, from the very coarsest to the finest, is In vogue, and never has Dame Fashion had so many varieties to place before her votaries. Loosely woven crashes flecks with color and coarse linens spangled with small rings of raised embroidery of the same color or of a darker shade are among the very newest designs. ? The three-cornered marquise hat appears this spring In any number of whimsical variations. Sometimes it forms a large picture shape, but more commonly it is small and saucy. Sometimes its triangular effect is accentuated by a geometrical arrangement of roses on the crown. Sometimes these mathematical details are masked by plumes or other decorations. ? Orange and yellow are very modish and a number of the newest hats are enlivened by orange plumes or yellow flowers. Red Is as popular as ever, and a dainty toque of scarlet straw has Its brim covered with rose foliage, a bunch of large red cherries at one side. The union of delicate nion with Hcht dull hliie Is considered particularly chic, and may well be charming if properly arranged. ? The tucked skirt is used for some of the most delightful frocks in swiss, batiste, etc., and tucks running round and being graduated from deep to shallow, are set in groups from hem to well above the knees. One hand made swiss frock had six narrow tucks at the bottom, five in the next group, four in the next, three in the next, two in the next, and at last, a single tuck half way between knees and hips. ? While ruffles and flounces are in evidence upon a large proportion of this summer frocks, they are not the rule even in this province, and some of the finest lingerie models have skirts whose length line is unbroken save by flat or inset trimming, horizontal, vertical or in separate motifs. Valenciennes framed medallions are set in at intervals around some lingerie skirts. Just above the hem. ? There are wash materials that are perfect imitations of grenadine, but whether they will survive a bath is another question. The organdies are lovely and flowered over cloudy pastel backgrounds with tiny rosebuds or 'nil hlnn-n rospa Pnlorpd linens have rings and wafer dots over the surface, and Parisians are wild over a bright shade of red which is about the most inappropriate and heating kind of color imaginable for a warm weather gown. Light yellow, tangerine and buff colorings come in all the summer materials. The printed dimities -were never more attractive. Street frocks for spring and summer will be of serge, tweed, etamlne and light weight cloths, and the winter models bid fair i to be closely followed. The bolero will be the popular outer garment, although long coats wil also be worn. ? Many of the new blouses In silk and even in wool are cut down slightly in the neck and worn with a shallow gulmp and collar of lace or openwork embroidery. In many instances these blouses have short sleeves with turn-back cuffs with under sleeves to match the gulmp. Lace blouses both simple and elaborate and tucked blouses of mousselin de sole will be as fashionable as they were last season. ?Of the lingerie hats we have spoken before, but new models appear every day. The drooping brim baby hats, with full crown and shirred brim are more popular than ever, but the openwork embroidery or English eyelet or linen or batiste is the new feat-^ ure of the lingerie millinery, and it is used In every Imaginable way. Full crown fiat baby hats, like those in sheer lace and embroidery, are made of openwork linen with plain brim, buttonholed in scallops at the edge of the brim and drooping slightly there. Broad brimmed picture hats are covered smoothly with batiste embroidered in openwork and are trimmed with loose clusters or sprays of large roses or other flowers and with soft scarfs of silk or folds of velvet ribbon. In these hats the under side of the brim Is usually faced by little overlapping frills or Valenciennes or by corded or shirred batiste or mulle or net. Sometimes the crown, too, is formed of little Valenciennes frills and the openwork embroidery is used only for the brim. ? Now that short frocks are almost universally worn, except for house and dinner gowns, women are paying great attention to the appearance of their feet. Last season up-to-date women wore white kid, canvas and buckskin low shoes find slippers, with colored stockings. This year it is prophesied that stockings In every instance must separated with narrow Valenciennes insertions. The whole bodice is made of the puffs and insertion, the puffs below the yoke being a little wider. The skirt is trimmed to the knees with the puffs and laoe. The sleeves are elbow puffs with a high cuff made to correspond with the yoke and collar. A simple white dimity has a yoke of Swiss Valenciennes insertion. The collar is made of alternate stripes. Below this the trimming is laid on in diamond points, three in the front and three in the back. The spaces within the points are filled with all-over Valenciennes lace. Below the yoke the dimity is finely shirred and plaited to make it full and the skirt is made more full in a like manner. Two narrow ruffles finish the skirt. A sash of flowered ribbon with very long ends completes this dainty frock. THE WEL8H REVIVAL, Something Absnt Its Author and Its Characteristic Quality. Six months ago the world had not heard of Evan Roberts. Now in ail thinking circles he stands out as one of the most striking personalities of the time. Of the thousands of people of many nationalities who are Hocking to Wales to see what this revival is like that every one is talking of, not one would feel that he had seen it unless he had seen Evan Roberts, the central figure on whom Its white light is focused, and who seems to be at once its cause and its result. We find ourselves In the presence of a tall, fair, gracefully built young man, who looks younger than his 26 years, and who fails to impress us as possessing any qualities, Intellectual or otherwise, above the average. Except for a smile of some charm, and an air of purity about his person, he might easily pass without notice of any kind. Evan Roberts Is the son of a sturdy and independent couple who may be taken as types of the Welsh mining class in Wales. Hts father is a collier of sterling character, not noted .for any specially marked traits; and in this case, as in so many others, it Is to the mother that may be traced some of the religious simplicity ind zeal that are ro marked In the son. Until .the summer of 1904 no one would have dreamed that there was hidden In the tall, fair young collier, somewhat studious and also musical, the leader of a great religious movement, and, what is more, the Initiator of a new form of revival and one of rare spiritual beauty. For a people who at their festivals will contentedly listen to eighteen sermons In two days?three at each of the three services In two days?prayer-meetings lasting for six and eight hours will be nothing very unusual. The wonder of these services does not lie In their length. Indeed, it is almost impossible to describe, and far more difficult to account for, the wonderful meetings. It is there one sees Evan Roberts. * the revivalist. But perhaps one might not see him even though he were there. A prominent lay preacher, one who had previously qualified both as a physician ana as ja lawyer, but had Anally devoted himself to religious work, went to Wales to spy out the land. Two hours before the hour appointed for the service to begin he and another visitor who had cast In his lot with him made their way to the church and found It full and the servloe In full swing. Going round to the back entrance, they succeeded, with some difficulty, in finding standing room on the platform. When next they thought of time, they found to their astonishment that they had been standing for three hours. But nothing had been seen of Evan Roberts, who was announced to be present Afrfdd that he had stayed away, as he sometimes does when the Spirit bids him to do so, one of them stooped down -and said to a young man seated near them: "Evan Roberts was to be here, do you know If he has arrived?" "I am Evan Roberts," was the answer. And then, seeing the look of astonishment on the man's face, he added, half smiling: "You see, they do not need me." Another instance tells more plainly still of his perfectly natural and sincere diffidence, how he deprecates any Importance being attached to his presence at a meeting. In perfect sincerity he disclaims any share in the work that Is going on. "It la the Spirit of God," he says. And when one looks at the young man, unlearned as far as books are concerned, with no striking Intellectual gifts, and hears his simple, direct talk about God, and his sometimes naive, but always strong pleadings with his hearers, one feels that It Is even as he says. There Is nothing In him to account for his influence. He Is a channel for the Spirit of God. At the beginning of one meeting at which he had promised to be present, he put the following questions to the people, being answered as It with one voice: "You all believe In God, do you not? "Yes." "You believe In Christ's promises?" "Yes." Then he opened his Bible and read, "Lo, I am with you always," and asked, "Then you believe that He is here?" Once more the answer came, "Yes." "Then," he said, quietly and naturally. as he closed the book, "I am not needed here," and left the hall. And he was quite right, he was not needed. The same marvellous spirit was present which welds the people into one?so that It seems as If individuals had merged Into that mysterious union which Is foretold of the future? and the meeting proceeded as successfully as if he had been there. The 1 Welsh, as a nation of singers, have found their best expression during tnls revival In hymns. And these are sung by the whole people without books, sometimes a refrain repeated, If one of the singers Is moved to begin It, and sometimes one-half singing In Welsh and the other In English. The ordered disorder of the meetings Is amazing. Just as the revival owes nothing to organization, advertisement, programme-making, so the services are left to the guiding power that Is i so evidently present. The order of service has been Ignored. Ministers < and choirs, the preaching and the 1 singing, formerly of so much Importance, have been set aside. Everything I Is left to the guidance of?of? Those i who go to see come away, and In an- I swer to the question, "What Is It?" < can only answer, "No one can tell." i One only knows that "the wind blow- 1 eth where it listeth, and thou hearest i the voice thereof, but knowest not i whence It cometh, and whither It I goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit"?words that have been seen i oftener of late in English Journals i than for many years past.?Outlook.

Those foolish persona who have been taught in school and in the public prints that the founders of our const!tutlon were sincerely desirous of establishing a system of government In which the will of the people should And free expression will be shocked and undeceived when they read Its debates and proceedings as recorded by James Madison, one of the delegates from Virginia. When one comes to learn of these fifty-five delegates that not more than ten are on record as voicing the slightest degree of confidence In the wisdom of the people or their fitness to rule, he is likely to take a new view of the constitution framed by them, and he is able to account for the Innumerable Ills which we are compelled to suffer. I will quote a few expressions of opinions from delegates who wielded the greater influence in the construeItlon of the constitution: Roger Sherman?"The people should have as little to do as may be about the government." Elbridge Gerry?"The evils we sxperience flow from an excess of Democracy. the worst of all possible evils." John Dickinson?"A limited monarchy Is one of the best governments In the world." Rufus King?"It is Immaterial to the people by what government they are possessed, provided they be well employed." Alexander Hamilton?"The British monarchy is the best government in the world," and he doubted if anything short of it would do in America. "Their House of Lords is a most noble institution." Alexander Hamilton?"He acknowledged hlmsrlf not to think favorably of Republican government Inequality in property constitutes the great and fundamental distinction in society." Gunning Bedford?"Are we to act with greater purity than the rest of mankind? Our votes are actuated by Interest and ambition." Gouverndeur Morris?"The senate must have great personal property; it must have the aristocratic spirit; It must love to lord it through pride. To make it independent it should be for life. Property is the main object of society." John Rutledge?"Property certainly Is the principal object of society." Pierce Butler?"Slaves should have an equal representation in a government which Is instituted principally for the protection of property, and is of Itself to be supported by property." Charles C. Plnckney?"Property in slaves should not be exposed to danger In a government instituted for the protection of property." George Mason?"It would be as unnatural to refer the choice of a proper character for president to the people as to refer a test of colors to a blind man." James Madison?"In future tlmoB a great majority of the people will not only be without landed, but any sort of property. If they combine, the rights of property will not be safe in their hands." * James Ellsworth?"As population grows, poor laborers will be so plenty as to renders slaves useless." The tnirteen delegates rrom wnom i have quoted were the dominating characters in that convention, and it is possible to cite Innumerable passages expressing the same distrust and contempt for the people. It should be understood that the great mass of the people had no representation in that secret conclave, and that half a century passed before its proceedings were made public by act of congress.?F. U. Adams in Tom Watson's Magazine. QIANT8 OF THE PA8T. Some That Were Thirty or Forty Feet High, 80 it Is Said. The past was more prolific in the production of giants than the present. In 1830 one of these giants, who was exhibited at Rouen, was ten feet high, and the giant Galabra, brought from Arabia to Rome in tne time or ciaudlua Caesar, was the same height. Fannum, who lived In the time of Eugene II., was eleven and one-half feet in height. The Chevalier Scrog In his Journey to the Peak Teneriffe found in one of the caverns of that mountain the head of a giant who had sixty teeth and who was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Faragus, slain by Orlando, the nephew of Charlemagne, according to reports, was twentyeight feet high. In 1814 near St. Gernad was found the tomb of the giant Isolent, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1590 near Rouen was found a skeleton whose head held a bushel of corn and which was nineteen feet In height. The giant Bacrt was twenty-two feet high. In 1623 near the castle in Dauphine a tomb was found thirty feet long, sixteen feet wide and eight feet high on which were cut in graystone the words "Kentolochua Rex." The skeleton was found entire and measured twenty-five and one-fourth feet high, ten feet across the shoulders and five feet fronrr breastbone to the back. But France Is not the only country where giant skeletons have been unearthed. Near Palermo, Sicily, in 1516, was found the skeleton of a giant < thirty feet high and In 1559 another forty-four feet high. Near Magrino, on the same island, in 1816 was found the skeleton of a giant of thirty feet whose head was the size of a hogshead and each tooth weighed five ounces.? J New York Herald. Gave Sun Permission to Set.? "One of the odd things that I saw in i the trip up the east coast of Africa was the permission given each day by one of the kings for the sun to set." said T. A. Rose, who recently mad3 a ( trip to South Africa. "At one of tiie " ports where we stood the soldiers were drawn up on the parade grounl before the royal palace as the sun was i settine. With pomp and ceremony the ruler advanced to the front of the balcony on the second floor and majesti- 1 cally waved his hand toward the sun. "One of his subjects explained to me that It was the royal sanction for the Bun to set. When asked as to whether the ruler gave his permission for tho Bun to rise In the morning the man replied that the sun must always rise C before the ruler, but that It could ' never go down unless the royal waved approval. The king who did this was the sultan of Zanzibar. 1 "I hardly believed that he hlmst If J [vas sincere In thinking his permission 0 necessary, for he was educated for [ four years at Harrow college in Eng- t and, but the performance was to Insrease the belief among the subjects fc n his divine origin." 8.
