President Garfield a few months before
his death related to a friend the follow

As General Garfield entered the con

man distributing leaves of the New Tes

engrossed politician folded and put in
his pocket. Long after the nomination
he took down the suit ho had worn that
eventful day. and before putting it on
proceeded to empty the tockets. He
drew out a paper pressed into a narrow
fold, one verse only being visible. It
was this, "The stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the cor

A Nuturallat and the Snake Charmer.
A story used to be told at Cairo of the
late Sir Kichard Owen during one of his
sojourns in Egypt. The great naturalist
was seated in the shade on the veranda
at Sheppeard's hotel, as is the postpran
dial wont of visitors to that famous hos
telry, when the inevitable snake channel
came to him and produced from his bag
a lively specimen of the horned asp the
deadly eirastcs. The professor gazed,
and nothing daunted ftoped and
plucked the horns from the head of the
reptile wriggling at his feet, remarking
to a bystander that the man would prol
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else a harmless snake
as a cerastes by the aid of a couple of
fish bones. With anybody else the
charmer would probably have succeeded.

On the secoud day after our arrival in
Krasnoyarsk we narrowly escaped getting
Into what might have been serious trouble
as the result of au unexpected perquisition
in the bouse of tne acquaintance with
whom Shamarin and Peterson were stay
ing. This acquaintance,, it seemed, was
under suspicion, and late in the evening,
during the absence of the two youug men
from their quarters, the police suddenly
appeared with orders to make a house
Search. The search was duly made, but
nothing of A suspicious nature was found
except the two locked trunks of Shamarin
Slid Peterson.
In reply to a question as to what was In
them the proprietor of the house said that
he did not know, that they were the prop
erty of two of his acquaintances who had
stopped for a few days with him on their
way from Irkutsk to St. Petersburg. L'pon
being asked where these acquaintances
were, he replied that he did not know; that
they usually went out after dinner and re
turned between U and I. o'clock. After A
brief consultation the police officers de
cided that as they had no orders to search
the personal baggage of the houseowner'a
guests they would not force the locks of
the trunks, but would merely cord and
seal them, so that the contents could not
be tampered with, aud leave them until
morning.
When Shamarin and Peterson returned
to their quarters about midnight they
found their trunks corded and sealed so
that they could not 1 oiened. In one of

of the letters and their friends. Ths two
young men Unally concluded to make aa
attempt to get the trunk open without r
moving the cords or breakingthe seals, aid
as tho letters and photograph were near
the bottom, and as the lid could not lie
raised even if tho trunk were uulockcd,
they dt-.'ided to take out a part of the hot

Hy working all the rest of the night
they succeeded in getting out one of tho
bottom boards, obtained tho dangerous

Strangers' Cold lit St. KlhU.
One of the most curious facts given by
Dr. Parsons in his report on influenza re
lates to what is called "strangers' cold,''
an epidemic from which thu little coin
mtinity living at St. Kihla, ia the broad
waters of the north Atlantic, suffers every
time a vessel from any other part of the
world arrives. Indeed, so surely does this
outbreak follow the arrival of a boat that'
it Is called by the islanders "boat cough."
In other oceanic islands the saiiie odd ef
feels havo been observed.
In an Island 40 miles eaat of New Zea
land a similar epidemic attacks both Kuro
(leans and Maoris on thu arrival of a ship.
So regular is the occurrence that when
murri-miirrl, as tho cold is called, appears,
the good folk arc so sure that a ship is In
th port that theyrido straight off to the
harbor "to fetch their letters." Stran
gent' cold and influenza are remarkably
alike in their symptoms.
The cause of thu former Is attributed to
the organisms of disease that icople in
populous lands curry about with them,
and to which they themselves are inured.
If that be so, whence conies our influenza,
