Why the Bishop Playod Marbles.
"Many Interesting stories are told of
the late Bishop Wilmer of Alabama,
who was noted for his wit and sharp
repartee," said Robert W. Kennedy of
Birmingham, Ala "A story which Is
considered characteristic of the man
was told by a Virginia minister at a
private dinner in Richmond not so very
long ago.
" "When Bishop Wilmer was rector
of the little Protestant Episcopal church
at Uppervllle, Va.,' said he, 'he was
much worried by the non-attendance
at service on Sundays of the majority
of the young men of the community.
On inquiry, he found that instead of
going to church, they were in the habit
of playing marbles for stakes?marbles
In those days. It must be remembered,
was a much more serious game than it
is now, occupying much the same position
in the realm of sports as do billiards
and pool in these days.
" 'Bishop Wilmer, then a person not
well known, determined to break up
this practice. He himself had been an
expert marble player in his boyhood.
Accordingly one Saturday he came
across a number of the young men engaged
in a game. The good bishop
asked several questions, and finally
challenged the lot to play him for
"keeps." They readily consented.
" 'Much to their astonishment, the
young minister won steadily, and soon
they had to go to the stores to replenish
their stock. Toward the close of
the afternoon, Mr. Wilmer had won every
marble in the town of Upperville.
Putting his "winnings" in a bag, he remarked,
ast he walked away: "Now,
gentlemen, since you can't play marbles
tomorrow, I hope to see you all at
church." And he did.'"?Washington

Anxious Traveling.
The late William E. Ingersoll, the
noted life Insurance manager, was an
authority on insurance rates.
'Mr. Ikigersoll knew the rates all over
the world," said a New York manager
recently. "The Russian rates are very
high. Mr. Ingersoll once explained to
me, with a story, why this was:
" 'A traveler in Russia,' he said, 'noticed
that the train was all decorated
with flags and banners, and at every
station stood a company of soldiers and
a band playing the national anthem.
The traveler asked a brakeman the
reason of all this ceremony. The brakeman,
lowering his voice, replied:
" ' "I don't mind telling you, sir, but in
the strictest confidence, be it understood,
that a carriage in this train has
been engaged for his majesty. But his
majesty, as a matter of fact, won't set
off till this evening. Thus the plot
hatcned against mm may uute t-nai
on this train, you see, and our gracious
sovereign will be saved."
" 'The brakeman touched his cap and
passed on, and the traveler, suddenly
grown pale and nervous, stared from
the window anxiously.'"?Detroit Free
Press.
The Soiled Banker.?Leslie M. Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury, was
discussing with a correspondent a financial
muddle.
"They lied," said the famous financier,
"but, as with Hugh Ralston of
Castana, their lying was absurd.
"When I was in the banking business
in Charter Oak, there was a young coal
heaver of Castana who courted a Charter
Oak girl. His name was Hugh
Ralston, and he pretended to be a
banker.
"But one afternoon the girl happened
to visit Castana, and she saw Hugh
hurrying home for supper, as black as
the ace of spades. He would have
dodged past without speaking, but the
girl held him up.
" 'Why, Hugh,' she said, reproachfully.
'I thought you were a banker!'
"He heaved a kind of sigh.
" 'Ah,' he said, 'we've had a terrible
day of it today, cleaning all the ink
wells.""
Then She Hurried Back.?Irving
Berlin, the author of "My Wife's Gone
to the Country," said at a recent dinner
in New York:
"A true happening was the inspiration
of this song. In July a Brooklyn
woman set out for Ocean Grove, and on
her arrival discovered that her watch,
a small affair, was missing. She
thought it had probably dropped on
the thick, soft dining room rug, so
she wired to the maid at home.
" 'Let me know if you find anything
on rug in dining room.'
"A few days later she got from the
maid a letter Si. ,ng:
" 'Dear Madam: I was to let you
know if I found anything on the dining
room rug. This is what I found
this morning: Three champagne corks,
eighteen cigar butts, five cigarette ends,
four blue chips, thirty-six burnt
matches, and one pink satin slipper.'"
Building a Reputation.?Young physicians
in the smarter towns have an
idea that appearing very busy will help
them greatly in starting a practice.
The following is told by a senator, Dr.
Godfrey Hunter of Kentucky. Dr.
Hunter had a call the afternoon following
the hanging out of his shingle,
and started through town in his buggy
at terrific speed. A policeman stopped
the enterprising physician.
"Doctor." he said, "it is against the
city ordinance to drive at the speed you
are going. You must accompany me
to the Judge and pay your fine."
"What is the fine?" inquired the doctor.
"Five dollars."
The doctor's hand flew to his pocket.
"Here's $10; I have to come back just
as fast as I am going."?Success Magazine.
Found at Last?"Why did you never
marry, Tom?" inquired the young
benedict of the old bachelor.
"Well, you see," replied the single
one, "when I was quite young I resolved
that I wouldn't marry until I
found an Ideal woman. I was difficult
tr? nlease hut after manv vears I found
her."
"Lucky beggar! And then"?
"She was looking for the Ideal man."
replied the bachelor sadly.?Philadelphia
Inquirer.
What's a Gentleman??An exact definition
of a gentleman has been tried
many times, never perhaps with entirely
satisfactory results. Little Sadie
had never heard of any of the
definitions, but she managed to throw
a gleam of light on the subject, albeit
one touched with unconscious cynicism.
The word was in the spelling
lesson, and I said:
"Sadie, what is a gentleman!"
"Please, ma'am." she answered, "a
gentleman's a man you don't knowvery
well."?Woman's Home Companion.
SALVO CONDUCTO.
Rear Admiral Evan* Telia How the
Yorktown Rescued Refugees.
The United States gunboat Yorktown,
under my command, arrived In
the harbor of Valparaiso, Chile, about
December 1, 1891, after a rough passage
from New York, says Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, retired, who
describes "The Most Dramatic Event In
My Life" In the Delineator for October.
She had been hurried to the Pacific because
of threatened trouble between tne
two countries, Chile and the United
States, caused by the Ill-treatment of
a number of the crew of the U. S. S.
Baltimore In the harber of Valparaiso
while on shore leave. One of the men
had been killed, stabbed to death, and
many others seriously wounded.
Two days after our arrival the Baltimore
sailed for San Francisco and the
Yorktown was left alone to represent
the United States while the courts of
Valparaiso endeavored to arrive at
some conclusion as to who was to blame
tnr- the unfortunate occurrence.
The American minister at Santiago,
Chile, Mr. Patrick Egan. had given
asylum to many political refugees of
the Balmaceda government, and these
only added to the embarrassment of
the situation?they were practically
the guests of the United States and
must be protected and fed at all hazards.
To protect them proved much
easier than to feed them, and Mr. Egan
found himself in a most serious situation.
Finally, the mob threatened to
burn the American legation, and thus
secure the persons who had taken refuge
therein. This threat, fortunately,
was never carried out, but It produced
one curious result?orders by wire from
the president for the commanding officer
of the Yorktown to proceed to Santiago
and report to him by telegraph
as soon as possible the conditions surrounding
the American legation.
Upon my arrival at Santiago, I found
a very curious condition of things. The
American legation was surrounded by
spies who stood about with firearms
ready to shoot any refugee who showed
himself. They also did all th
could to annoy Mr. Egan and prevent
him from obtaining the necessary food
supplies for those under his care.
There were nearly 100 refugees In
the American legation at this time, and
to clear them out and get them to a
place of safety was the business of the
minister. After I had wired the president
at Washington the general conditions
at Santiago, I conferred with Mr.
Egan and Informed him that I would
receive the refugees on board the
Yorktown at Valparaiso provided they
could be turned over to me with the
permission and approval of the Chilean
government, but not otherwise.
I A few days after my return from
Santiago, I received a cipher message
from Mr. Egan that he and a few
friends would visit me the following
morning, which I of course understood.
The train containing the party was
stopped a few miles out of Valparaiso
and Mr. Egan and his friends were lowered
over a steep bluff Into the boats
of the Yorktown, which were waiting,
and safely brought on board with the
statement from the minister that they
were there by permission of the Chilean
government As they came over the
I side and saw the crew standing at
quarters ready for action, one of them,
on officer of high rank, who had served
his country for over fifty years, placed
his hand on one of the six-Inch guns
and said: "Captain, this Is a practical
salvo conducto." "No, General," I re
j piiea, pointing lu uur u^, uull is uir
practical salvo conducto." To get the
remaining- refugees on board waa the
important thing, and to this we devoted
ourselves.
I wired my own government that the
presence of the refugees on board
would seriously embarrass me In case
of trouble, and asked permission to
proceed to Callao or some other port
and land them. The answer came back
promptly: "Use your own discretion,"
and I did.
A visit was made to the British admiral
and he was Informed of my Intentions
and what I proposed to do if
the Chilean squadron followed us.
Four hours before our departure, all
other foreign vessels. Including the
Chilean flagship, were informed of our
proposed sailing, and an offer made to
carry any mail they might have for
Callao.
The Yorktown was cleared for action
and at 4 p. m. got under way. As
her anchor cleared the bottom, her
engines were sent full speed ahead, and
the little white gunboat turned rapidly
and stood for the open sea, her crew
all standing by the guns ready to reply
properly to any hostile act which we
all had good reason to think might
come at any moment. Passing rapidly
down the line of Chilean ships with the
marines at "Present Arms," the bugles
sounding a salute to each, observing
most carefully every detail of international
courtesy, she cleared the end of
the line and passed the fleet of foreign
men-of-war, most of which were under
steam and ready to move.
During the time we were passing the
Chilean ships, and for five or ten minnttMj
offer u- hen we fhem
follow us, the situation seemed to me
intensely dramatic. The whole picture
was beautifully set, and the danger was
enough to keep one's nerves In a pleasant
state of tension. The small gunboat
would have been no match for the
force opposed to her. They could have
sunk her and killed all her crew with
one broadside, but the beautiful flag' at
her staff commanded and received the
consideration it always deserves, and
no hostile act was committed; not a
shot was fired, and not a single Chilean
ship got under way to follow ub.
DISTINGUISHING SNAKES.
How to Tell Dangerous ones From
the Harmless.
Excursions into meadow and
mountain land give timely Interest
to a small pamphlet written by
Raymond L. Dltmars, curator of reptiles
In the New York zoological park,
entitled "Poisonous Snakes of the
United States?How to Distinguish
Them."
"It is not generally appreciated,"
says Mr. Ditmars in this pamphlet,
"that Inhabiting the United States are
some of the most deadly known species
of snakes, and these fairly teem
in some parts of the country. Even in
the east?in the immediate vicinity of
well known summering places?poisonous
snakes are abundant. It is
well to know ho *> to distinguish them
from the many I armless and really
beneficial reptiles.
"As will presently be explained, the
North American dangerous snakos
may be easily distinguished, except
two, and these are the coral snakes,
having a slender body and a head not
at all distinct from the neck?in fact,
looking precisely like the harmless
reptiles. And they actually belong to
the same family as the innocuous ser
pents?the colubridae. This family Is
divided Into a number of subfamilies.
The cobras and their deadly allies of
the old world and the coral snakes of
the new world form one of these subfamilies?the
elapinae. From the typical
harmless snakes they differ only
in the possession of a very short, fixed
pair of venom conducting: teeth in the
forward part of the upper jaw and by
the absence of a small scale on each
side of the head (the loreal plate),
between the eye and the nostril. Fortunately,
such deceptive looking: reptiles
are limited to two species in the
United States. As they are peculiarly
| colored they may be recognized with
little difficulty.
"Both of the species of the elaps inhabit
the southern part of the country.
The common coral snake or harlequin
snake occurs from southern
North Carolina to Florida and westward
to Texas. It is most abundant
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
Louisiana. The Sonoran coral snake
is restricted to Arizona, New Mexico
and northern Mexico. Both of the
species are vividly ringed with scarlet,
yellow and black?the red and black
rings the broadest.
"Described in detail, the pattern of
the coral snakes may be given as
broad, alternating rings of red and
black, the latter bordered with very
narrow rings of yellow. And here we
encounter a difficulty, for several
harmless snakes 'mimic' these species
in displaying exactly the same colors
and arranged in ringlike fashion. Yet
there is one unvarying difference that
will always distinguish the dangerous
reptiles from their innocuous 'imitators,'
as the yellow rings of the poisonous
snakes always border the black
rings, while among the non-venomous
snakes there are pairs of black
rings bordering a yellow one.
"The crotaline snakes, the rattlesnakes.
copperhead and the moccasin
may be easily told. We may dispose
of the rattlesnakes with a simple suggestion,
and that is to look for the
rattle, a prominent and an absolutely
unique organ among snakes. Its presence
Immediately brands the owner
as a dangerous reptile.
"Thus we understand how to recognize
all of the North American poisonous
snakes except the moccasins?
two species."

A Postal Novelty.
Those who know what it Is to wait
at the postofflce counter to yet important
letters registered Just before closing
time for the foreign mails will be
interested to learn of an ingenious machine
Invented l?y a young Hungarian
which does away with the need for
securing the official stamp and the
signature on the receipt, and all the
trouble and inconvenience that are of
ten occasioned inereoy. ine worKing
of the mechanism depends on Iron,
and In a lesser degree on nickel.
In the French model, which has just
been exhibited before the Paris Academy
of Science and may receive a
trial from the French postofflce, the
coin to be Inserted In the slot Is the
"nickel" of 2 J centimes, which rolls
by gravity past the magnet, and, being
only slightly attracted, goes on Its
way into the receiver. The work of
numbering and dating the letter after
its insertion and handing out a receipt
similarly dated and numbered, with
which the sender, in the event of loss
or damage, may claim compensation,
Is performed by the simple turning of
a handle. This in itself is sufficiently
Ingenious to attract attention, but the
arrangements for automatically providing
against fraud or tampering with
nnV*lnA oro of lftocf a a incronlAiiQ
and complete. Every com which Is
not the regulation "nickel" Is automatically
rejected through a special opening
by means of the varying attractive
power of the magnet upon objects
of various weights and compositions,
so that If by accident any other coin
is Inserted It Is duly returned, and
the same summary rejection is effected
in cases where a piece of Iron of
the proper weight is introduced.
Moreover, a receipt cannot be obtained
for fraudulent use unless a letter
is Intrusted to the care of the machine,
which Is almost human in its
discrimination between right and
wrong. These automatic letter registering
boxes are already on trial in
Hungary, Germany, Austria and some
other countries, and as time savers deserve
every encouragement from the
postal authorities, If their performance
stands the se?vere test of everyday
use without breaking down.?
