John Kendrick Bangs is of the
opinion that the finest burner fie-
quently drops unconsolously from
the lips of childhood. As an Mesta:, ;
lion of tee, idea, he tells this ataxy :
"Hennessey, formerly foreman of
tire Herald's cote:losing room, had a
little daughter, who said:
" etfamma, what are the stars?'
"'The eters, me child, are the An-
gel Gabriel's lamps. Every night at
twilight the angel flies out of the
gate at Paradise wita a torch and
tights all the stars.' ;
"On the following evenina, a. storm
darkened the heavens and the lightn-

exclaiming: .

He went to the fellow's bed.
"Very bad?" asked the attend-

who was for nearly fifty years rent

Chicago. One afternoon, wane Dr.
Locke was enjoeeng a good book in
the parlor, Ms wife noticed a. woman
coming up the front steps whom be
particularly detested. The Doctor
fled precipitately, leaving les wife to
meet the caller. After a half-hour
lead passed, Dr. Locke came oat or
eJs study, and listened at the head
ar the stairs. Hearing noebing be-
low, he called dawn to his wife:
"Has that horrible old bore gone

The caller was it'll there. Mrs.
Locke was equal to the emergency,
however, and she called back:
"Yes, dear, she went nearly an

The eunuch of'Ethiopla an enquirer.
It is encouraging to beeold this of-
ficial of eigh rank, "minister or fin-
ance," in the court of Queen Can-
dace of the Ethlopian,s, now earnest-
ly, bumbly. and persistently inquir-
ing the way of salvation. When the
ela01 is thoroughly aroused to a true
sense of its destitute condition, it
realizes the utter and absolute insuf-
ficiency of everything eartbborn to
yield that for which the immortal
eoul craves,
God's rega.rd for the inquiring soul.
The eunuch had turned to tbe right
source for light, ria, the word of
God. Pea. exix, 9, 105 130. This
light the dejected traveller was seek-
ing. His inquiring mind had been led
to that beautiful and all anoropriate
passage, so resplendent waft light
(Isar Mi.) and yet so difficult for tbe
natural man to understand, for in it
we have a most wonderful descrip-
tion of the marvelous combination of
writers, and splendid qualities, eve-
stituting a character in which was

ing and God -honoring principle and

have seemed strange to Philip whose

busy city, to now be requested to
go "unto the w -ay that goeth down
from Jerusalem unto Gam which is

where analtitudee of souls oan be

PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA:
Wit& AND WHAT 11E IS.
Sketchy Paragraph Study of the German
Royal Visitor.
Here are some facts about Prince
Henry, of Prussia now so much talk-
ed of :
He is of the Prussian royal family
of Hohenzollern. ,
He is the only brother of the reign-
ing German Emperor; eon of a Ger-
man Emperor; grandson of a ger-
man Emperor; great-gra.ndsoti of a
long line of Prussian kings.
He is a nephew of the King of Eng-
land and a grandson of Queen Vic-
toria.
He is a brother-in-law and elect
own cousin of the Czarina of Russia.
He is intimately connected by
blood or marriage with the ruling
houses of all the smaller German
principalities and kingdoms.
At the time or his birth his grand-
father, William I, was King of Free-
sia, the empire not ,aaving been
formed.
In 1871 his grandfather became
first Emperor of the modern German
Empire.
In 1888 his father, Frederick III.,
ascended the throne of Germany as
second Emperor.
The same year Freaerick III. died
was succeeded by his sone Henry's
brother, William IL, the present Em-
peror.
William IL has leveret children,
who are now In Rile for succession to
the throne. Prince 'Henry's chances
of ever becoming Emperor are there-
fore extremely retuote.

He is six feet and half an inch tall.
Be weighs about 182 pounds.
He is always in the muk of physi-
cal condition, and lees not an ounce
of Lie upon Ms frame.

Like ids father, Frederick III., he
is a Liberal In politics. He has thus
frequently incurred reproof from his
reactionary brotlier, the Emperor,
but has gained in consequence the
devotion of the people of Germatty.
His mind is not of the devious,
subee order, but direct and straight-
rorwaed. He makes a better admiral
than he woule diplomat or courtier.

GHOSTLY TALES OF THE SEA:
Every Ocean Has its Phantoms and
LL riany' a Tar Has Seen Them.
(New York Commercial Advertiser,) '„!1
Landsmen boast of their haunted
houses and the weird spirits that
deuce In country graveyards at mid-
night, But there's not a house, no
matter how black and dismal and
how Inc book from the public road
it ricia.y be sitting, nor how many
murders may have been committed
Within lee walls years ago, that can
compare in supernatural terror&
with the haunted ships with their
crews cif dead men that haunt the
traceless waves of the ocean. A.ncl
there's not a ghost on land, no mat-
ter how many graveyards lie may
prowl around nor how many old man-
sions he may rattle eludes in and
groan and disport himself, that oan
hold ap Ole head for ono minute in
the presence of one of the gristly,
grinning, matted, dank ghosts that
ship as Ai le on a ghost ship. -
There Is an air of vagueness and
unreality anyhow' about the ocean
that makes it naturally:a more fit
abiding place for ghosts than the
prosaic shore. The great track-
less, unfathonnel, mysterious deep,
with ite centuties of nameless hor-
rors still firmly locked in its silent
bosom, is tbe proper place for ghosts.
And so it, Is no wonder that they
who go cloven to the see in ships be-
lieve as, firmly in spirits and, spirit
ships and roving hulks with crews
of men dead centuries agone as they
believe in their own existents°.
One of the spectral shipsbest known
to landsmen generally is the Flying
Dutehman, with which Captain Mar-
ryat made his readers acquainted.
The Flying Dutehman was trying to
round the Horn SOli30 time in the
early part of the rieventeenth oent-
ney. The ship was repeatedly dri-
ven back by contrary winds and tides
until the ship's captain, vanderdeck-
en, swore fearfel oath he would
round it if It took tal 3qdment day.
Vanclerdeekeewas taken\ at his
word, arid nOW for three eenteries
lie and his worn (tree, have been bat-
tling. to round the cape. Sailors
weteh with fear and trembling when
their ships are rounding the Horn,
afraid that every- moment may bring
bath view the spectral Flying Dutch-
man. It is believed that every ap-
pearance of the Flying Dutchman
will be followed by death or mis-
fortune to some of the crew of the
fillip that sees the ghost vestal.
Sees the laying Dutchman.
In the private jeurnal of the late
Duke Clarenee and las brother, the
present Duke of Cornwall and York
during their crulee on the Bacchante
in 1879-1882, an account is given of
their experience with the Flying
Dutclartat, whicb they fell in with
near Sydney'. The duke wrote:
"July 11, 1881, at 4 a.m., the Fly-
ing Dutchman crossed our bows. A
strange red light, au of it phantom
ship all aglovr, ie the midst of which
light the meets, spars and sails of
the brig, 200 yards distent, stood
out in bold relief. ae it came up
the ler/emit men or; the forecastle
reportee it as, close on the port bow.
The night being clear and tee sett

were sailing on otir starboard bow,
