CHINAMAN AT A TELEPHONI Celestial Gots the Worth of His Mon ey Every Time. "A Chinaman at the telephone is funny thing," remarked a long distanc telephone operator in the Denver New a few days ago. "You see, it is impoi sibie to tell whether one person or hal a~'osen are talking, and we often be come mixed up, in listening to their When one is speaking, it seems as i half a domen are talking. and we ofte imagine the wires are out of order. T mate matters worse the Chinese de light in talking as fast as possible, an( we. never know whether the Chinamai at this end the wire is talking or I it is thene at the other end. After th conversation Is ended the Chink walk out of the booth With a self satisde smile an his face and pays for a tire minutes' talk. We have lately discoi ered that he zs:ariably says as mic] during that time as could have bee said by a white man in fifteen mir - To be the toepo e company I not really "out" anything by the tran action, as it is paid by the minute; bui nevertteless, in the case of Chinames the company would be the gainer b; eharging for volume instead of time. ! Chinaman always begins his talk i pidgin English. He says: "Hello. I this Sam Lng I bettee ypoudon Iol -yi hi ki yi he yay bo benno ne," an so on, an"l it sounds on the wires as t seveal persons were at work. O'CONNELL'S COOLNESS. A story of the Irish Liberator and Falling FIeeo. el O'Conefn was once addre bng an enormous meeting in Kingi town, and the crowd was so large tha fear was felt for the safety of th building. As he was about to speak getemdascended.the platform an said, trembling with fear: "Liberato the Boer js giving way! The beams ar crdcking, and we shall all fall throng in a few minutes." It Is not given I -m,y men to live through such me nent as O'Connell lived through as b tose-te'addres -the meeting nor to pri "pre -such Magnilcent courage in th face 'of kreat peril. Warning the ma to espqopet, the liberator said, "In E itom too saU to contain the nun ber who desie to come in, so we mu theefare leave it and hold the meetin tid~Ie."- A few rose to leave, but th hat was still packed. and then O'Can ' nl sa$: "Then. I will tell you th -~ ~- ruth. You are Irishmen and therefor fray. men. The iloar la giving. was aie mnust leave~this room at onct If-therea apancanda ushto th door, we shafl all be precipitated int he"b oden below, but If you obey m: egesv shafl be safe. Let the dose as eaies the door go qluietly oui them th next desen, and so on until a] Iaveone. I shalt be the last to leave. The Irishmen followed the advice, th halt was quickly eleared, and as O'Cor Ts neil walked across the floor the brokq beamns gave way.-Oxford Chronicle. may-url some folks to lean hat penty British laws have bees drawa -p so carelessly anid written I1 such muddled language that they ar An- ejsa fer their intened pmr of Ethe acts p'assed In Georg III?s reign,' for instance, states tha the procleeds of penalties were to b 'glen half ~to the infor-mer and half ti ~4 the:poor of the paish.

The much disputed -question as to whether womnan Is the possessor of an Immortal soul has left its mark on the female population. They have ceased to base any great hopes on such an uncertainty and live, feed and behave so like the "beasts that perish" that to the flippant modern Turk It seems that, If endowed with souls at all, they must be so small as to be scarcely worth the trouble of saving.-Chambers' Magazine. The Card Table In Crimson Gulech "Do you think it Is polite," said the foolish stranger in Crimson Gulch, "for a man to sit in his shirt sleeves and play cards all day?" "Yes, sir," answered Three Finger Sam, "and maybe It'll be for your own good to remind you that the fewer sleeves a man has on when he plays cards around here the less liable he Is to fall under s-uspcion."-Washingtonl star. smEST OF KING EDWARD. 1 Tracing His Lineage Back to David, the Royal Psalmist. C [Lutheran Chronicle.] I t By direct descent the king is con nected with fifteen of the thirty five monarch who have preceded him on the British throne since the conquest. - His descent from William the Con- I queror, through the Georges, James I, Henry VII, the first four Edwards, Henry III, John, Henry II and Hen ry I is clear and distinct. And, go ing fnrther back, Edward VII has if two clear descents from the Saxon e kings of England. Through St. c i Margaret of Scotland and Matilda, t wife of the Conquerer, his maj.sty i can trace his ancestry to Alfred the c s Great and to Egbert, the first king f - of all England. Through at least 1 , three lines the king can show de et d - REV. L. C. scent from the Roman emperors-- 1 a first from Basil, the Macedonian em- < I peror of Constantinople It is also iI t claimed that Egbert was descended c 9 from Helena, the mother of Con- i e stantine the Great, while also the e e king's line from Mary Queen of + Sotts is perfectly clear, and her an 1 cos(etry went back to imperial Rome.1 Nor is it easy to deny ti e claimri Swhich makes King' Edwart a del' soendant of David. As a Guelph ' the king traces descent from Roger id'Este, the Saracen hero, and he in t turn was descended from Saladin, I the Nazarene, who was of the He. 1 ibrew royal house. The researches of 31. Oppert~ have proved that Roger d'Este. though a Mnssulmau, t Swas, nsevertheless, a member of the 1 family of David, of which house Ed- f Sward VII r. ay .thus claim to be a a -prince. Soch pedigrees are always i t matter of dispute, but Queen Vie t toria had no doubt of her deseenr t from the Psalmist. In 1861 'he a REV. JAS. Rev. F. R A. Glover, M A., Brit.b li haplain at Cologne, published a t book setting forth the now familiar s Anglo Israelite theory.

CarrespondAnce Cincinnati Eriquirer.] Jack Wills, former Representative rom this conuty in the Legislature njoys the reputation of being a pra tical joker of no mean capacity. His rother in law, George Ballard, a prominent breeder of fine horses and wner of Pinchem Wilkes, a noted acer, has on bis place a pen of high y bred game chickens. While George was showing Jack LOYAL. its favorite rooster and expatiating )n his great prowess Jack pretended o regard the bird as a very ordinary shicken, and spid he could whip him ith a buzzard. A hot argument en ined, resulting in a match being ar -nged for bet.ween the rooster and a )uzzard, which Jack agreed to pro. Iuce. Jack had a trap set, and in a ihort time his uncommon warrior, a rery large buzzard, was brought to uin. According to the terms of the con est the rooster was duly equipped rith gaffs,,and .the two birds were inked togather by the feet with a ard or so of stout cord. As the rooster brac'ed himself for he onslaught the buzzard regarded imn with stolid indiffierence, and at rt pass lifted 'its wings and sailed way, with t.he rooster squawking in ts wake.
