, 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?"

"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

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

In reply to the question In what en

UUi-ug the last days of his life, when
Captivity, disappointment and sickness

Is said that the agony of his fatal dis

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.

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

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."
