Deplorable Levity.
"We students can stand a good many
things," said the college girl, "but this
last missionary was too much for us.
He preached on the glories of the mis
sionary calling for women. He told us
we ought all of us to go and help the
heathen. That was all right
"But then he worked up to a glow
ing finish. 'Now, I appeal to you, as
col lego women, how much better than
mere learning and mere books It Is to
go forth Into the world and become
fishers of men!'
"That was too much. Of course we
smiled. In fact, some of us snickered
audibly. Then the missionary com
plained to 'prexy' that he couldn't help
noticing a deplorable spirit of levity
apparent among the students.,,-Phlla-delphia

COUNCIL ELECT
MAYOR'S NOMINEE?
QUESTION OF NEW POLICE
COMMISSIONER SLATED TO
BE SETTLED TONIGHT
At its .session tonight the common
council is slated to elect a successor
to Mr. Luurin, who recently resigned
from' his position as police commis
sioner, and us has been stated in these
columns before, Mr, S. S. Gordon is
the Mayor's choice to succeed' him
But there may be a hitch. At the last
meeting of the council the Mayor iu-
vitcd the council to confer with him
in another room, and while nothing
was given out at that time in relation
to the object of the secret conferencl
ii is known that it pertained to the
question of a successor to Mr. Laurin.
Mayor Wise proposed to the coun
cil members that he wished to name
Mr Gordon, and he asked for an ex
pression of opinion. All of the six
members indicated that they were fa
vorable enough to Mr. Gordon
whereupon the Mayor wanted them
to formally vote to accept him as the
nominee. But here the hitch arose.
Councilman Kaboth led a little insur
rection, it is said. He thought there
should be more "time," and under the
guise of wanting more time he flatly
opposed doing anything then. It is
said Mayor Wise pleaded and urged
and even "begged" the 'council to
elect his nominee then, but when a
vote was taken on the question of
whether the matter should be post
poned or not, Councilman Kaboth,
Leinenweber and Stangcland voted
to postpone, while the three other
councilmen were willing to name Mr.
Gordon then and there.
Whether the desire to postpone ac
tion was but a thinly veiled, but none
the less real opposition to Mr. Gor
don remains yet to be seen. Mean
time the three other councilmen,
Messrs. Belland, Karinen and Logan,
have returned to the city and prob
ably tonight there will be a full at
tendance. There are many who feel that with
Mr. Gordon on the commission the
moral welfare of the city would have
a staunch advocate. Back of the ap
pointment arises the inevitable ques
tion of a "wide open town," and hence
it is natural that those who want a
commission that will play fast and
loose with the laws of the city natur
ally want to know if the mant who
goes on the commission will be one
of their kind or not.
It has b&cn hinted that "Tony"
Smith may be named by the Mayor
in the event that the council refuses
to elect the Mayor's first choice, Mr.
Gordon.

Forest of 8tone In Australia.
In Albany, In Australia, is to be seen
a stone forest In other words, petrified
trees. The trees are of a gray stone.
It is suggested as an explanation of
the strange phenomenon that In the
depths of past ages the forest was In
full vegetation and then through some
upheaval of the earth it was buried In
sand. Little by little water acting on
the sand penetrated the branches and
soiidinea.
The wood gradually disappeared un
der the layer of stone and in time took
its form. Then In succeeding years
the winds again carried away the sand
and the forest appeared anew, but of
stone. London Globe.

A Real Nice Husband,
lulling the reign of Queen Anno
there lived iu Jenny n street, London,
a Mr. niul Mrs. Howe, who were a
well to do and apparently a very hap
py couple, After eight years of mar
rled life Mr, Howe suddenly dlsnp
peared, and nothing was heard of him
for seventeen years, during which pe
rlod his two children had died and
Mrs. Howe hud left her Jermyn street
residence for a small house off Golden
square. , The extraordinary part of
this real 1 1 IV romance Is that Mr.
Howe Imd inner gone Away from Lou
don at ull find lived at Westminster
under another name. Disguised, he
attended U, James', Piccadilly, every
Sunday nud saw his wife there. Mr.
Howe also frequented a coffee house
which alimiHt faced Mm. Howe's
house, ami tlitta be could watch her
movements. When sevciiteeu yetir
hud elapsed Mrs. Haw received nu
anonymous letter In which the writer
desired her to meet him In Birdcage
walk the next day, as he had some
thing Important to tell her. Mrs.
Howe went as requested and there
met her long lost husband. Mr. Howe
never explolued the motive which
had prompted his disappearance, and
Mm. Howe whtely did not press the
subject The retiulted couple lived for
many years after their separation hap
pily, which Is only one of tbe many
cases In everyday Ufa where truth Is
stranger than fiction.
t A Surprised Scotchman.
In tbe year 1739 the Russians aud
Turks, weary of war, commissioned
two plenipotentiaries en the Russian
side Marshal General Keith, on the
nhle of the Turks tbe grand vizier of
the sultan-to make pear- The two
diplomatists met and carried on pro
tracted negotiations through Interpre

the plenipotentiaries roue to take form
al leave of each other, the marshal
making his bow with bis bat In his
band and the grand vUler his salaam
with his turban on his head.
These ceremonies of Icavetaklua
over, the grand vlster suddenly
straightened himself and, to tbe mar
shal's utter astonishment, marched up
o him, gripped him affectionately by
the hand and In the very broadest
Scotch cried; "Dluna be surprised, man.

The Sponge Animal.
If the sponge as brought up fresh
from the sea bottom were a familiar
object few would he iu doubt as to its
icing an animal. Wben fresh It is a
fleshy looking substance covered wttb
a firm skin, and If cut It presents some
what tbe appearance of raw meat. Its
cavities are filled with a gelatinous
substance called "milk." American
sponges and those of all other parts of
the world are inferior to tbe sponges
of the eastern shores of the Mediter
ranean. The finest of all sponges Is
the Turkey toilet sponge, which is cup
shaped. The American sponge most
nearly approaching it In quality Is tbe
West Indian glove sponge.

TOKIO, Aug. lS.-Thc amount ol
subsidies grunted under the Meant na
vigation and shipbuilding encouraage
ment luwi is steadily increasing and
the question of the amendment oflawt
in order to check a further increase
was taken up in the diet during tht
last session. The terms of contract
for the grant of the special subsidies
to the European and American ser
vices of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha ex
pire at tbe end of the present fiscal
year and the Department of Communi
cations has been considering the ques
tion whether it is necessary to con
tinue the grant, and if necessary, what
amount should be granted. ,
The department is also considering
the amendment of the steam naviga
tion and shipbuilding encouragement
laws.
The estimate of the special subsi
dy for steam service for the present
year amounted to 6,885,3(10 yen; that
of the steam navigation encourage
ment bounty to J&J.S yen, and of
the shipbuilding encouragement boun
ty to 1,995,440 yen, making a total cf
I2.36S.69S yen, an increase of 3,06
622 yen on the estimate for last year.
The amount of the shipbuilding ami
steam navigation encouragement sub
sidies continues to increase year after
year, steamship companies which re
ceive special subsidies for their ser
vice are also granted encouragement
bounties and in this way receive
double subsidies. This now appears
to be recognized at objectionable by
the administrative reform committee.
A certain official In the finance de
partment is quoted as saying that Jap
an pays ne -t ' France the highest
amount of subsidy to steamship ef
any nation. There would be no harm,
he thinks, in paying such a large
amount of subsidy to marine business
if the finances of the empire would
allow of such an expenditure, but un
der present financial condition, it is
necessary to restrict the amount grant
ed to the reasonable level not so
low as to retard the development of
steamship service. The retrenchment
of these subsidies he regrads as one
of the first thing to be undertaken
in the sphere of adminitrativc and fi
nancial reform.
