ABOUT JOHN MARSHALL
Interest in the John Marshall celebration
appears in the World's Work
for February by some characteristic
incidents in the life of the great Chief
Justice, besides which there are a Marshall
portrait, a silhouette and pictures
of a number of Marshall landmarks.
Here is one of the incidents:
One day, Judge Marshall, engrossed
in his reflections was driving over the
wretched roads in North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in a stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sappling and was
tilted so as to arouse the judge. When
he found that he could neither move
to the right nor left, an old Negro, who
had come along solved the difficulty.
"My old marster," he asked, what
fer you don't back your horse?"
"That's true," said the judge, and he
acted as advised. Thanking his deliverer
heartily, he felt in his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
"Never mind, old ma.i," he said, "I
shall stop at the tavern and leave
some money for you with the land-1
lord."
The old Negro was not impressed
with the stranger, but he called at the
tavern, and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes," said the landlord, "he left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think of that old gentleman?"
The Negro gazed at the dollar and
said:
"He was a gem'man, for sho; but"?
patting his forehead?"He didn't have
much here."
Keeping Track of a Vacuum.?
There was once a chief engineer in the
British navy, a patient man who had
spent so many nights by the bedside of
an expiring boiler, which never expir
ed, but kept on bursting blood vessels
and getting a death rattle in its thousand
throats, that he had become reconciled
to knowing that he would be
called upon to stop leaks at all hours
of the day and night for the rest of
his natural life. His only envy was
the man who could sleep undisturbed
through the whole night. This man
was Bulstrode, chief engineer of another
ship.
One night the assistant engineer sent
a man up to Bulstrode to report the
gradual disappearance of the vacuum
in the air pumps. Knocking at the door
the man sung out:
"Please, sir, the vacuum is decreasing!"
The answer came back In a drowsy
voice:
"Report to me if it gets lower."
Half an hour later the man again
rapped at the door.
"The vacuum is much lower, sir.*
"Very good. Tell me if it gets still
lower."
After another half hour:
"Mr. Bultrode the vacuum is gone,
sir."
"All rigni, report to me il u tumca
back."?Youth's Companion.
Bulls of a Grand Duke.?The late
Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Sereissimus,
as he was affectionately called,
had such a queer way of expressing
himself that he often perpetrated
"bulls." On a hunting expedition he
saw a forester whose face seemed familiar
to him.
"Are you not a brother of Chief Inspector
Schmidt?" asked the duke.
"I am Chief Inspector Schmidt," said
? the man.
"Ah," said Serenissimus, "that accounts
for the resemblance."
Another time the grand duke was
waiting at a railway station in his tiny
realm, and, addressing two little girls
playing near the signal box, asked:
"Who is your father?"
"The stationmaster."
"How old are you?"
"I am 5 and my sister 4, Serenissimus."
"How is that possible? Why, the
line has only been built three years."?
From. M. A. P.
Private John Allen's Latest.?
"Private John Allen, of Mississippi,
gave one of his unique hog and hominy
dinners last week to some congressional
friends, and in the course of it told
of a conversation between two darkies
on his plantation.
"Mose," said one of the Negroes to
the other, "do you know them niggers
down to Catfish P'int?"
Catfish Point, Mr. Allen explained, is
a bend in the river.
"Sure," says Mose.
"Do you 'member dat gal I was paying
my civilities to?"
"Cut'nly."
"Dey has been tellin' dat gal that I
am the sneakingest, onerarist nigger
that ever came down to the P'int. And
dey tell her, too, that I am the laziest,
triflingest nigger dat ever was."
"Did dey tell dat gal that you was
dat kind of a nigger?" asked Mose.
"Dey sut'nly did."
"Well," said Mose, "dey has got you
located, sho' 'nuff."
Their Condition Explained.?"Br'er
Johnson," said the elder of one of the
colored churches to the recently appointed
pastor, "what does yo' tink of
de congregashun?"
"Well, Br'er Jones, sence yo' asks
me, I mus' say dey is er scrubby lookin'
set."
"Why, what does yo' mean, Br'er
Johnson? Dey has mo' camp meetin's
and get ligion oftener dan mos' eny
congregashun in the town."
"Dat's jes" it. Br'er Jones; dat's jes'
it. Dey has done wore out de seats of
dey pants blackslindin and de knees
er prayen' for fo'gibness."
An* Inconvenient Bottle.?Collier's
Weekly tells of an old farmer who had
been to the Metropolis, and was describing
to his friends the splendor of
the hotel at which he stayed.
"Everything was perfect." he said,
"all but one thing. They kept the
light burning all night in my bedroom,
a thing I ain't used to."
"Well" said one wag, "why didn't
you blow it out?"
"Blow it out!" said the farmer.
"How could 1? The pesky thing was
inside a bottle."

?5" In the last weeks of our war with
Spain there was a project of raising
money by selling the famous Padro
gallery in Madrid. The value of the
pictures is about $10,000,000, and this
would have paid the war expenses for
one month only.
4aT Rev. Joel J. Janvier, a native
preacher of Northern India, who died
recently after 43 years of hard work,
was at the beginning of that period the
only Christian in that region, where
there are now 78,000 Christians and 92,000
children in Sunday schools.
4?* An inquiry at one of the department
stores in New York, elicited the

the year. 1 4iT
The number of immigrants who
came to this country during the past
year was 447,572. Of these about 100,000
came from Austria Hungary, about the
same number from Italy, and nearly as

from the British Isles, principally from
Ireland, was 50,000.

ministers, and over 145,000 church

BISHOP OF ASIA'S FUTURE.
He Expects England and Germany to Block
Russia.
Bishop Thoburn, missionary bishop
in Asia of the Methodist Episcopal
church, made an address this afternoon
in the First Methodist church
that created a stir among the audience,
as he launched into political questions
likely to arise from the death of Queen
Victoria, says a Chicago dispatch of
Sunday.
He referred to the duty of the United
States in China, and gave a forecast oi
the future of Europe and Asia. The
Bishop said:
"I do not admire Russia in all re1
spects; but I thank God every tim* i
hear of that empire annexing more ol
Asia. But there is a new power entering
Asia, and no one seems to ift>tic?
it. Many significant things will result
from what has just passed betweer
1 Emperor William and his uncle, Edward
VII of England. Before man)
years the old Austrian emperor wil
die. The old empire will then fall t(
pieces, and what will be more natura
than that Germany will possess th(
1 part of it which now borders on th<
Adriatic? The German empire wil
' then be continuous from the North Ses
! to the Mediterranean.
* "Germany has already built railroad.'
' in Asia Minor between the Tigris ant
1 the Euphrates rivers. European gov
ernments do not build railroads unless
' they intend to operate them. German]
' will secure that part of Central Ask
' which Russia covets. All of Southerr
Asia from the China sea west to th<
' Mediterranean will be in the posses
sion of Germany and England. Ger
' many will have the southern coast llni
5 and the British empire will have secur
i ed Arabia."
Taking up the Philippine questioi
t the bishop upheld the policy of Presi
I dent McKinley in relation to those is
i lands, saying:
"Why should people lament the ab
sorption of the small powers by th<

1 Even the Russian government is j
i blessing to those portions of the coun
i try which have been annexed to th<
3 czar."
) Referring again to China, Bisho]
, Thoburn said the American govern
. ment should be more imperative ii
. what it says concerning the future o
China.
"The United States should eithei
3 agree," he said, "to let certain nowen
t break up China, or say they shall no
i do it. If our nation should say it mus
not be done, not all the nations of Eu
> rope would risk the consequences o:
. opposing our wishes. Great Britair
and Japan would support us and Ger
, many would fall into line, even thougl
, it does want the Southern coast."
Governor Shaw, of Iowa, presided ai
! the meeting. The remarks of Blshoi
( Thoburn were several tim?s vigorous,
ly applauded.

Walking through the grounds thej
' came upon a party of workmen whc

harmless patients, apparently assisting
in the work, was pushing a wheelbarrow
along upside down.
1 "My friend," said a kind-heartec
trustee, gently, "you should turn youi
