Proaohars Unlucky.
Preachers are supposed to bring bad
luck to a ship. The late Dr. Deems of
the Church of the Strangers told this
story of an ocean‘voyage: “There were
several priests on board, and every
moment it} was believed that the ship
would go down in a terrific storm that
arose. The orients in a body called on
the captain and informed him of the
panic among the cabin passengers.
The captain repliedL _‘Go forward to
the forecastleI ahd see Iif the crew are
swearing.” The brethren Were shocked
as they peeped into the sailors‘ quar-
ters by round after round of the most
fearful oaths, and when this was re-
ported to" the captain he said: “Go back
to” the'cabin and have nothing to fear;
there is absolutely no danger to the
ship. When the crew get to praying I
will let you know.’ "if-New York Press.

" IA 'cuass 0F RABBITS.
They Ruined an lll‘fld and the Prospectn
of a Colony.
About 200 years ago Holland deter-
mined- to colonize one of her islands,
which Lies about 200 miles from the
I coast of Africa. It was thickly wood-
ed, filled with fruit, flowers and edible
roots, and the home country decided
that 400 or 500 of the peasants, who
could find no land to farm in Holland,
might be able to turn the island into
a. huge truck farm and dairy. They
were to send things home, and in ex-
change get manufactures until they
‘ had established a little world for them-
selves.
The people who went were very pOOII‘, '
and took very little With them, but
one woman, in an evil moment, decided
to take a pair of pet rabbits, and that
act sealed the doom of the whole plan.
They reached the island in safety,
began to farm, and were happy and
successful. They found birds and
small game in plenty, and soon, to
their joy, they began to find rabbits.
Many a good dinner did they have of
rabbit pie or Istew, and the-woman who
had brought the original pair with her
from home was considered a." bene-
factor, for from this one pair all the
others Ind sprung in a series of rapid-
ly succeeding generations.
Then gradually things began to
change; the farmers’ crops were nib-
bled, and the woodsmen found the
young trees destroyed. They grew
frightened. The rabbits had become a
scourge. They multiplied and ate un‘
til the people had to fight for even!
green leaf they had.
Finally there was nothing left on the
island but rabbits and people, and rab-
bits became the people’s only food.
But as there was no food for the rab-
bits themselves they soon died off, and
left a. starving, desolate settlement up-
on a desert in the sea. .
So much for the justice that is dis-
played in the choice of the long-cared,
soft-eyed bunny as an Easter emblem.
But about those people! They did not
all starve, for the home ship came a:
last, and instead of leaving her cargo
and getting stores of produce, she car-
ried the wretchedggsurvivors back to
old Holland—Philadelphia Times.

Brigadiara Not Wanted.
This story is told in Boston of Colonel
T. W. Higginson: He was travelling in
the}._Sou-th a few years after the war,
and chanced to fall into talk with an
old farmer who had engaged a. number
of Iold soldiers tachelp in the haying.
“You see over.~,ttiéreII‘where those four
:men are working?" asked the farmer.
“Well, all of ’em fought in the war..
One of 'em was a. private, one of ’em
was a corporal, one was ‘a. major, and
that man ’way over there in the corner
was a colonel.” “Are they good men?"
asked Higginson. “Well," said the far-
mer, “that private's a first class man,
and the corporal’s pretty good, too.’
“But how about the major and the.
colonel?” “The major’s so-so," said the
farmer. “But the colonel?” “Well, I
don’t Want to say nothin' against any
man who was a colonel in the war,”
said the farmer, “but I’ve made up my
mind I won’t hire any brigadier gener—
als."—New York Tribune.

ORCHID 0121125 111 JAPAN.
A Syndicate Offers 5,000 Van for a Single
Leaf; but Meets \Vith Refusal.
The latest craze that has made its
appearance in Japan
craze, and if reports are true the tulip
craze in Holland of several centuries
ago may well look to its laurels. Ac-
cording to the Tokoyo Asahi (Morning
Day), a new variety of small orchid.
jointly owned by the well known gard-
ener of Shitaya, Maru Shin, and by
two others, is at present enjoying the
highest reputation. It is called “Ame:
knee,” for every rare variety has ta
own special name. Its leaves measure
'_ only four inches in length and 1 1-2
finches in width, this variety being the
. leaves,
Ivarlety which
brought the fabulous price of 10. 000
only one now found in Japan. The
only eleven in number, are
whitish, with yellow hued stripes very
widely marked, and the whole appear-
ance exceedingly graceful. The fame
of the “Amakusa” has sent all the
circles of orchid hunters into a. flutter.
Numerous applications have been re-
ceived by the triple owners asking
themrto part. with even one leaf, for
orchids, as is well known, can be pro-
pagated by root separation. But all
these applications have been courte-
I ously declined.
The other day, says the Asahi, 9. del-
egate representing ten villagers of
Chita-‘gori, Owari, came up to Taiwan.
They were all men stricken with the
orchid mania, and hearing of this rare
variety each of them subscribed 5,000
yen I(a yen is fifty cents in United
States currency) and one of them. the
head man of the village, arrived on the
important mission of purchasing a leaf.
While the negotiations were in pro-
gress the Kyoto Horticultural Com-
pany dispatched its president also on
the same errand. The owners of the
precious orchid conferred with each
other, but decided not to accede to the
offers made them, for they have in
mind a similar case of another rare
several years ago
yen per leaf.
So both delegates were obliged to re-
turn home crestfallen, and the Asahi
adds: “Even supposing that the own-
ers might be persuaded to part with-
their orchid at 5,000 yen a, leaf, that
would bring ‘them a sum of 50,000 yen,
while if the price were 'to rise to 10,000
yen: each, that amount would be dou-
bled."——New .York Sun;
DRUNKENNESS AMONG ANIMALS.
DIIonkayn Captured In Intoxicatlng Them
\\ llh Boer.- '
Most of the higher animals—as mon
keys, elephants, bears; horses and dogs
‘-—have a natural fondness for ferment-
ed liquors, and suffer from the abuse of
these liquors as men do. From the book
of Maccabees it is evident that war
elephants were ’maddened of old with
Inaw wine, as they have been and are
with arrack down to the present time.
Managers of manageries and employee
at the various zoological gardens know
that the elephants under their care are
prepared .tovgo on a wild .lrunk when‘
i ever opportunity offers. Whiskey is of-
ficially given them when they are ill
or low—the quantity varying from live
Ito. ten gallons, according to the require-
meats Of the caSe. This is put into
their drinking Water. Bears and mon-
keys-drink beer'like German students,
and love whiskey equally well. In Af-
rica the natives make use of this evil
trait to capture their poor relations.
The monkeys there are extremely fond
of a. beer brewed by the natives.
the latter place quantities of the liquor
within easy reach of the monkeys and
wait until their victims are thoroughly
befuddled. In this state they are una-
ble to recognize the difference between
negro and ape. When a. negro takes
the hand of one of them to} lead him
off, a second monkey takes the hand of
the first, a. third that of the second and
so on. A single negro may sometimes
be seen carrying off a string of stag-
gering monkeys. Fresh doses of the
beer in decreasing quantities are ad-
ministered to the captives, so that
they may only gradually awaken to the
sad results of their spree—Lippincott's

Wallace saved the Day.
The fate of the battle hung in the
balance: The commanders of the in-
vading corps looked anxious. The ob«
stinate Spaniards refused to be dis—
lodged.
At that moment Gen. Lew Wallace
spurred to the front and saluted.
“Has the time come, general,” he
hoarsely shouted, “for ‘the dernier re-
sort?" _
The commander hesitated. Then he
shuddered, and nodded assent, and
turned away. .
Ten minutes later the Wallace An-
nihilators, 400 strong, swept on the
field. .
The Spanish gunners looked in
amazement on this intrepid hand. So
might the Russian gunners at Bala-
clava have looked at the Light Brig-
ade.
The Annilhilators halted and coolly
dressed their lines.
“Attention,” roared the valiant Wal-
lace. “One—two—three—all together!"
And then as one man those 400 elo—
qutionistsbegan to briskly recite the
f‘Chariot Race” from “Bencflur.”
The Spaniards never stopped run-
ning until they reached the extreme
end of the island, and then most of
them plunged in and struck out lust-
ily for Porto Rico. —Cleveland Plain
