June IS, 100? , A FRANC FOR A LIFE. Cx!ilng Advtntur With a Moslem Jt Fanatic In Algeria. Near the western end of Ouar In a lonely street (for most of the men nere sleeping from 12 to 3 during the beat of the day) I met a tall, stalwart Klffl from the mountains, writes Rev. AV. G. Tope, who was a missionary In Algeria. Accosting him with the usual Arabic ralutatlon, I asked him If he could refcd. lie answered, "Xo." "Whero do you live?" "In the mountain, twenty miles west" '"Have you a sheik who can read?" "Tes." "Then will you please take him this , bonk, with my greetings, and ask him tc- read it to you all?" "What it ls-a Koran V "No; the story of the life of the it.e then turned and asked if I was a frtSawer of the Messiah, to which 1 eu?wered, "Yes." vlien arose his Moslem fanaticism, fef he was an Aissaoua, a terribly ff.Mtical section of the Moslems In W'.Tocco. I'rawing his knife and holding it fVor nie, he uttered one word, "Sha- rRvJ ' (witness), meaning that I was tc fay, with my forefinger raised, "riere is no God but Allah, and Mo batvmed is the prophet of Allah." I felt white, but tried to look covr rCflus and unconcerned. I remon- prt-ted with him for so acting with Eft Amel's guest, but all to no pur prf. He reiterated his one word, "Seabed !" S"ls knife was an ugly weapon. It lotted like a piece of sharpened barrel hop with two pieces of goat's horn x&rtened together to make a handle, ftnowing the Arab's love of an Enr l'st- knife, I asked him If his knife was 5 tngHsh one. He answered that be ttf- made it himself. f.tnembering that In one pocket I Da4 a franc In silver and coppers and lb. the olber a French louis, I deter tnfced 1o buy the knife if possible. UTttklng out my small change, I de cline t) try that first. I referred to th fact that the English were very pud of their knives and I would H?h like to take back to my country a iloroccan knife to show what others cild do and offered to purchase It he sight of the French coppers and e glistening piece of silver was too uracil even for his fanaticism. He un iii his leather sheath, restored the lnife to its place, looked once up and dVn the street to see no one was look leg, then, with apparent Joy, exchanged t"5e knife for the money and the book aM went off happy. Which of the two felt the happier I cannot tell, but I never forgot that my life in Ouar was purchased back for a paltry franc Liverpool Post POINTED PARAGRAPHS. !

Ilrrkltaa of Danger, th Great foU dier Was Often Wounded. In reply to the question In what en gagements he considered himself to have been in the greatest dnuger of losing his life Napoleou ouce said, "In the commencement of my campaigns." Indeed, if further proof were demanded to show that he did not spare himself at Toulon It Is imly necessary to add that during the ten weeks of its siege Napoleou, in addition to a bayonet f wound in his thigh, bad three horses shot under him, while at the siege of Acre during the expedition to Egypt he 1 lost no fewer than four In the sanje, ! UUi-ug the last days of his life, when Captivity, disappointment and sickness had well nigh completed their work, it Is said that the agony of his fatal dis ease drew from him on many occasions the pitiful cry of, "Why did the cannon balls spare me?" During his long military career Xapo- j leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar ' fought but fifty. In the early part of his career he was utterly reckless of. danger while on the battlefield, and this spirit of fearlessness contributed large ly to the love and esteem in which he was held, by his armies. There was a curious belief among the English In Na poleon's time that he had never been wounded, and indeed the report was current that he carefully if not In a cowardly manner refrained from ex posing himself. Nothing could be more contrary to the truth, for he was In re ality several times severely wounded, but as he wished to impress upon his troops the belief that good fortune nev er deserted him and that like Achilles, he was well nigh invulnerable, he al ways made a secret of his many dan gers. He therefore enjoined once for all upon the part of his Immediate staff the most absolute silence regarding all circumstances of this nature, for It Is almost impossible to calculate the con fusion and disorder which would have resulted from the slightest report or the smallest doubt relative to his existence. Upon the single thread of this man's life depended not only the fate and gov ernment of a great empire, but the whole policy and destiny of Europe as well. NATAL AUTOGRAPHS. How Rossetti First Met Hh Wife. It was Millais' picture, "Ophelia," ex hibited at the academy in 1852, that rTfivided his friend and brother pre ruphaelite, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, vilh a wife. Millais had been alto gether at a loss for a suitable model for bis picture, but at length secured otic in the person of a charming young lady who was employed as an assist ant behind the counter of a bonnet h'rp. f::i; wus the daughter of a -botrioid tradesman, a beautiful and lovable girl with a wealth of golden Liir, by name Elizabeth Siddal. 1'oung Kossetti straightway fell deep ly in low with the fair model. He taught her to paint and ultimately married her. Man' Precious Rib. A yovng lady having asked a sur geon wby woman was made from the rib of a man la preference to another bone, he gave her the following gallant answer: "She was not taken from the head lest 6he should rule, nor from bis feet lest he Bbould trample upon her, but she was taken from his side that she might be bis equal; from under his arm, that he might protect her; from near his heart, that he might cherish and love her." Houston Chronicle. aiarn Mannml of the Child That Does Not Change In Life. There is born with every one of us and continues unchanged- dnring our Jives an unfailing and Ineradicable mark or marks, which absolutely dis tinguish each one of us from every oth er fellow being. These physical marks never change from the cradle to the grave. This born autograph is Impos sible to counterfeit, and there Is no du plicate of it among the teeming billows in the world. Look at the insides of your hands and the soles of your feet; closely examine the ends of your fin gers. You see circles and curves and arches and whorls, some prominent witt deep corrugations, others minute and delicate, but all a well defined and closely traced pattern. There Is your physiological signature. Run your hands through your hair and press finger tips on a piece of clear glass. Yon see all the delicate tracing transferred not two fingers alike. Even "the left hand knoweth not what the right hand doeth." They are distinctly different Even twins may be so little different in size, features and general physical condition as to be scarcely dis tinguishable, yet their finger auto graphs are radically different . In fact in all humanity every being carries with him on his baby fingers and his wrinkled hand of decrepit old age the Identical curves, arches and circles that were born with him. Noth ing except dismemberment can oblit erate or disguise them. Criminals may burn and sear their hands, but nature, when she restores the cuticle, invaria bly brings back the natal autograph. Whit'i In a Namef Frequently in the south one finds among the negroes as remarkable Christian names as those bestowed upon their offspring by the Puritac fathers. A gentleman of Virginia tells of a negro living near Richmond who for years had been familiarly known to him as Tim. It became necessary at one time in a lawsuit to know the full name of the darky. The not un natural supposition that Tim stood for Timothy met with a flat denial. "No, saht" exclaimed the negro. "Mah name ain't Timothy. It's What-timor-ous-souls-we-poor-mortals-be Jackson. Dey jest calls me Tim fo' sho't." Suc cess Magazine. Ansrelo'n Verdict. Once a painter notorious for plagia risms executed a historical picture in which every figure of importance was copied from some other artist, so that very little remained to himself. It was shown to Michael Angeio by a friend, who begged his opinion of It. "Excel lently done," said Angeio, "only at the day of judgment when all bodies will resume their own limbs again, I do not know what will become of that histor ical painting, for there will be nothing left of it." nnnineK Training;. "That man is a very witty fellow." "Well, he's a chemist He ought to be." "TVbat has that to do with his wit?" "Because chemists as a class are al ways ready with retorts." Baltimore American.
