HUMBLED
if a Dusky Beauty From
South Sea Islands.
One night John Sharp Williams,
while n student nt Heidelberg, Ger
many, was in attendance upon a swell
function nt which the guest of honor
was :i dark skinned princess alleged
to hall from one of the south sea Is
lands. This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bejewelcd, and her
Warm olive complexion, set off by a
mass of black, kinky hair, full red
lips, snow white teeth and black,
sparkling eyes, made her the center
of the function. The mnscullne-like
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around a honeysuckle vine, and even
Dutcli femininity could not discount
the charm of^her mnnner or the beauty
of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of
course, and immediately upon obtain
ing a near view of the princess (?) his
southern instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boil.
Watching his opportunity, he managed
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, re
ducing his voice to a low, but perfect
ly audible key, he sent into her star
tled ears this alarming query:
“Look hero, nigger, where did you
come from?"
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin
cess turned upon her Interrogator ns
she heard the familiar Intonation of
tlie southerner and looked into his un
relenting face. Then she stammered:
“Fuin South Carolltiy, boss, but for
de Lnwd’s sake dou't tell It.”
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea of a southern negress In a
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold Imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. Hut the fact remains that the
“princess" realized that she was in the
presence of one who, from intlinnte
knowledge of her race, had divined
her African origin, and she could only
throw herself on ids mercy.—Biloxi
Herald.

THE BASTILLE.
Men and Methods In the Famous Old
French Prison.
Tlio Bastille as u prison wns appar
ently better kept and cleaner than
cither Bieetre or the Chntelet, and im
prisonment within Its walls did not, it
would seem, dishonor the prisoner or
Ills family. A great many prisoners
Were charged as mud, and under tills
elastic term the violent maniac, the
ambitious madman, the young spend
thrift, the megalomaniac, the readier
for the philosopher’s stone or the se
cret of perpetual motion —all these
tiresome persons might be and were
Included.
How, then, did these prisoners live?
In tlie underground cells or dungeons.
nR In tlie cells In the towers, tlie prison
ers were on bread and water, ns a rule,
In tiie other rooms in tlie main build
ing three meals were served a day, with
drinkable wine—"vin potable." In cer
tain cases, according to tlie quality
and distinction of the prisoner, he
might supplement the meager furni
ture of liis prison and get a provision
of books. Very favored persons were
allowed their own servant if lie would
consent voluntarily to undergo con
flnbmeiit. Voltaire began to write the
“Hcuriade” as prisoner Jn tin* Bastille;
Abbe More!let of the Encyclopedia
speaks of the great fortress as the
cradle of his fame, but we must re
member that it was perhaps not ad
visable to say mudi about tlie Bastille
when you were still living within its
walls and that, as M. Mouln lias re
minded us, "tlie old Spartans offered
sacrifices to fear.” Prisoners, more
over, had to sign on their release an
elaborate declaration by which they
ewore never to divulge, directly or in
directly. anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille.—Mrs. Frederic Harrison in
Nineteenth Century.

THE LAND OF WORSHIP.
The
A Feat For Elondin.
“Speaking of tlie straight and nar
low path,” said a congressman, "re
minds me of a story about a man
kne-.v in Chicago who stayed very late
at a dinner at tlie club. When lie
came out he started to walk In the
middle of the street.
“‘Iley, John,’ said a friend who met
him as lie was making the best of his
way along the car tracks, ‘why don’t
you walk on tlie sidewalks?’
“ ‘Walk on the sidewalks?’ snorted
John. ‘Do you think I’m Bloiulln?’
Saturday Evening Post.
Get Tired Quick.
A farmer hired a hand from town.
Thy- first morning the new hand went
to work lie accompanied the farmer
Into the bay-field. They put on a load
and hauled it to the barn. By the time
it was unloaded It was • <J o’clock.
“Well,” said the new hand from town,
“what will we do now?” “What will
we do now?” roared the farmer. “Why,
we’ll go after another load of hay!”
“In that case,” said the new hand
from town, “I will resign.”
East Believes Too Utterly to Care
if Others Disbelieve.
Prayer pervades the east. Far oft
across the sands when one is travel
ing in the desert one sees thin min
arets rising toward tlie sky. A desert
city is there.’ It signals Its presence
by tills mute appeal to Allah. And
where there are no minarets in the
great wastes of the dunes, in tlie eter
nal silence, the lifelessness that is not
broken oven by any lonely, wandering
ird, tlie camels are stopped at tflo ap
pointed hours, the poor and often rug
ged robes are laid down and the brown
pilgrims prostrate themselves in pray
er. And the rich man spreads his car
pet and prays, and the half naked
nomad spreads nothing, but he prays
too. ^
The east Is full of lust and full of
money getting uml full of bartering
nml full of violence, but It Is full of
worship—of worship that disdains con
cealment, that recks not of ridicule or
comment, that believes too utterly to
care if others disbelieve. There are
in the east many men who do not pray.
They do not laugh at tlie man who
does, like tlie uupraylug Christian.
There is nothing ludicrous in prayer. In
Egypt your Nubian sailor prays in the
stern of your dahabiyeli, and your
Egyptian boatman prays by the rudder
of your boat, niul your black donkey
boy prays behind n rod rock in the
sand, imd your camel man prays when
you are resting in the noontide watch
ing the fa roll, quivering mirage, lost
in some wayward dream.
And must you not pray, too, when
you ent^r certain temples where once
strange gods were worshiped in whom
no man now believes?—Robert Illchens
in Century.
Scared by Frogs.
It is said to lie owed to the frogs of
western Australia that that part of tlie
empire is English and not French.
About 1800 a party of prospective
French colonists landed..on the west
coast of Australia, but on the first
morning they were alarmed by the
loud croaking of the frogs, which they
took for demons, and retired with all
speed to tiledr ships. Western Austra
lia might have preferred tlie frog to
the swan ns her emblem, just ns Borne
might have preferred. Instead of the
eagle, the goose that saved tlie capital.
