ThieVing Mania.

DIR. Gall mentions having seen
a person in prison in Friburg, who
had set fire to his house four times
in succession; and who, after he
had set fire to it, tried to put it
out. Some have an irresistible
desire to steal, without any other
mark of insanity. Gall says that
the King of Sweden was always
stealing trifes, Instances are
mentioned Of a German, who was
constantly pilfering; and of anoth-
er who, having the desire to steal,
entered the army, hoping thesevere
discipline there could restrain him.
But he gave way to the propensity
even there; and was near being
hanged. He then became a friar,
with the same hope; but he still
felt the same desire, and carried
all the things he could to his cell.
Gall also mentions that person at
Vienna, in the habit of stealing,
hired a lodging in which to depos-
it his thefts; and when he got
stock, he sold them. The wife of
physician at Leyden never went
into shop to buy anything with
out stealing; and countess of
Frankfort had the same propensity.
Another lady, Notwithstanding all
the care with which she had been
brought up, had the same desire
to pilfer. You will find it related
of a physician, that his wife was
always obliged to examine his
pockets in the evening, and re-
store to his patient the things she
found there. He always took
something as well as his fee. Mer-
itz speaks of a criminal who at
the moment he was about to be
executed, stole the professors
snuff-box. DR.. Burner who was
one of the physicians. to the King
of Bavaria, speaks of q person
who enjoyed abundance, and had
been we'll educated, but who, still,
was always stealing; and was
made soldier by his father, and
at last got hanged.

Worth Of the Sabbath.

l. Toll needs ito wipe off
the CRIME and sweat of labor; to
refresh by change of apparel, to
restore and invigorate the body,
exhausted by laborj to cultivate
the mind by change of current of
thought; and by all this, to fit la
boring men for the renewing tolls
Of the week ,st.o
2. Capital needs the Sabbath
TO alleviate by intermission, the
care of accumulation; to ease the
unbending of the strained and ex-
llausted mind; to give a sense of
the value of nobler objects than
silver and gold; to keep mems
humanity and conscientiousness
alive; to shield capital from harm
by securing the power and tri-
umph of law and order in society.
3. The State needs the Sab
bath-to illumine the public con-
science, that guardian of public
safety; to cause men to recognize
the Eternal Lawgiver, as to honor
the earthly "powers that be-" to
secure the moral atmosphere in a
community which is the only sure
support of the law.

A Wonderful Memory.

The learned Bishop Jewel, who
died in 1887, was blessed with a
most wonderful memory. He
could exactly repeat what he had
written at any former period after
once reading it. During the ring
ing of the bell for public worship he
could commit to memory whole
sermon, and pronounce it with
out hesitation. His usual custom
was to write the heads of his SER
mon on his memory, and so firmly
were they, after few minutes
imprinted on his mind, that he
used to say that if 10000 people
were fighting and quarreling all at
the time he was preaching they
could not confuse him. To put
him to a trial, DR.. Parkhurst ut
tered to him some of the most diff
fcult and barbarous words he
could find in a calendar; and
Bishop Hooper, of Gloucester, gave
him forty Welsh, Irish and foreign
words, and after once or twice read
ing, and a little recollection, he re-
peated them backward and for
ward. In the year 1868 Sir Mich
olas Bacon, lord keeper of the
great seal, having read to him from
Erasmus Paraphrase the last clause
of ten lines, confused and imper-
feet, with the view of more fully
trying his gift, sitting silent awhile,
and covering his head with his
hands, he rehearsed all the broken
parts in the right way and the re-
verse without hesitation. He
professed to teach this art to 9TH
ers and so instructed his tutor,
DR.. Parkhurst, at Zurich, that
within twenty-eight days, by CIV
ing only one hour each day to the
subject, he learned all twenty
eight chapters of Matthew SO per-
fectly that he could repeat any
verse, telling what went before
and what followed.

~ { Proprietor.
WHOLE NO. 6l5.

At the siege of Balagner, at
the beginning of the fifteenth cen-
tury, according to Zurita, stone
balls were discovered which
weighed not less than 500 pounds.
A gun recovered from one OF the
Turkish ships destroyed at
Tohesme in ITO, was fourteen
feet two inches in length, nine feet
in circumference, twenty inches
bore, and 210 cwt, or 23,526
pounds weight. .l
The first instance of horizon
tai shell firing on record is that at
the seige of Gibralter, in 1779,
where Capt. Mercier, of the 39th
regiment, suggested that five and
a half inch shells, with short cal
culated fuses, should be fired from
guns. This practice answered so
well that it became general. Red
hot balls were first used by Ste
phen Bathor, King of Poland, at
the siege of Dantzig, 1916.
Pistols were first used by the
Germans; Bellay mentions them
in the year 1914. In the time of
Francis l., and under Henry H.,
the German horsemen, des reiteas,
were called pistoliers. i. dBe

ACOBBLER's SECRET

A waggish cobbler once, in Rome,
Put forth proclamation
That he'd be willing to disclose,
For due consideration,
A secret which the cobbling world
81. Could i'll afford to lose:
The way to make in one short day,
A hundred pair of shoes.
From every quarter to the sight
There ran thousand fellows
Tanners, cobblers, shoemcn, bootmen,
Jolly leather sellers
All redolent of beef and smoke,
And cobbler's. wax and hides;
Each fellow pays his thirty pence,
And calls it cheap besides.
Silence! The cobbler enters
And casts around bis eyes
Then curls his lip-the rogue.-then frown
AM then looks wondrous wise so
"My friends he says, It's simple quite,
The plan that I propose:
And every man of you / think,
Might Learn it if you chose.
ga good sharp knifeis all you need
In carrying out my plan;
So easy is it, none can fail,
Let him be child or man;
To make hundred pair of shoes,
Just go back to your shops,
And take a hundred pairs of boots
And cut off all the tops.'

Story READING.-At a certain
age, children of both sexes de-
light in stories. 1t is as natural
as for them to skip, run and jump
instead of walking at the staid
pace of grand parents. Now
some persons think they do very
wise thing when they deny this
most innocent craving and legiti-
mate outlet. They wish to culti-
vate, they say, ga taste for solid
reading" They might as well be
gin to feed a new born babe on
meat, lest nursing should vitiate
Its desire for it. The taste for
meat will come when the child has
teeth to chew it; SO will the taste
of solid reading as the mind ma
tures--that is if it is not made to
hate it by having it forced violent
ly upon its attention during the
story loving period. That there
is a "time for all things is truer
of nothing more than this. Bet,
ter far that parents shoul0 admit
it, than by a too severe reprehen-
sion, prevent occasion for healthy
reading.

A meeting of negroes was late
ly held in Cherokee county, Ala

selves together not to work for less
than two dollars per day during
the present harvest, upon the pen
atty of receiving fifty lashes.
Consequently the negroes are idle,
and white men are gathering har-
vest at one dollar and fifty cents

EARLY MILKING.-Cows should
be milked early in the morning so
that they can feed on the dewy
grass. The hour of such feed is
worth as much as that of the rest
of the day toward getting a good
flow of milk. So wake up, at fa-
theirs rap on the partition wall,
and hurry to the yard with pail in
hand; and have the cows in pas
ture before anybody's else. Be
sure and milk clean. A boy who
will always milk clean will have a
good recommendation of being
faithful wherever he goes, and
such recommendations always goes
a great way among business men.

A Fair Swap.

After the battle of Springfield,
No, old General Price sent an of
ficer to the commander of the
Federal forces to arrange for an
exchange of prisoners. The Off
Ger was conducted to the Federal
headquarters, and was cordially
received by the General, to whom
he was we'll known. The ex-
change was soon agreed upon and
efected-all but one Dutch Cap
tain whom the rebels had over
The General remarked that it was
no use to take one prisoner back,
and that he had better be thrown
in for good count. The rebel Off
Ger remarked that he saw a very
fine mule as he passed through
camp and that he would give the
Dutchman for that mule. The
general sent for the mule, and the
exchange was concluded--the
rebel officer going off on the. best
mule the Federals had. The rebel
officer promised not to tell of the
transaction, but it was too good to
keen.

Boiled Wheat.

tits strange that intelligent men
and women pay so little attention
to healthy diet. Fashion dictates,
and deluded, weak-minded persons
would rather be out,of the world
than out of fashion. l suppose
everybody knows it is not fashiona-
bic to use boiled wheat, for / yen-
ture to say that one-fourth of the
civilized world has never seen this
article used on the table. Life is
wasted away with fine bread, toasts
and puddings, and finally, when it
is too late, hypophosphite is recon-
mended to restore health and
strength. All this trouble would
be unnecessary if we would use
plenty of boiled wheat. @
Some persons bearacquaintance,
and after you once know them full
ly, you always love them SO it is
with boiled wheat-atter you once
learn to eat it, you will always
like it. My husbands eyes al
ways twinkle and look bright when
he sees the above named article
on the, table, and he says, when
through eating: '.Marie, what a
good healthy meal this was; have
it often, dear, and plenty of it."
Perhaps not every farmers wife
knows how to prepare this healthy
dish. The wheat should be
cracked in mill. Take one quart
and put into half a pot of warm
water, and let it stand upon the
stove several hours; then boil it
slowly, and stir it occasionally,
till it becomes thick; put in a
handful of salt. For children it
can be used with milk. If left ?
standing till cool, it is very nice to
cut in slices, and use with cream
and sugar, or fryi it like mush the
last mentioned prefer for gener-
al use butit can be prepared in
various ways.
Almost every mother knows
how small children suffer with the
summer complaint; Ilearned my
babe to eat boiled wheat, when
only year old, and i thought it
almost a cure for this disease, and
it always makes her good-natpred.
So much do / notice the good eff
feet, that I prefer giving her boil
ed wheat instead of severer. treat
ment, to make her a good little
girl. I.used to be very nervous
my physician said my main diet
must be boiled wheat, and | have
become entirely rid of that weak
ness. / consider it equal in taste
to boiled rice, and a healthier diet;
and, by experience, | know its
constant use would save many big
doctors bills.-Ohio Farmer.

THE MOON.

THE MOON.
Gaze on the moon, the silent moon,
-, If beauty thou dost love,
When in the midnight dreary noon
Her smile drops from above;
Observe how proud she glideth o'er
The starry dotted sky,
Far above our distant shore,
Methinks where angels fly.
Now peeping round a passing cloud,
Her bushes seem to say,
81 wilhnot wear so black shroud,
$50 pass ye clouds away"
Then sailing in her light pale robe,
Again she seems to smile,
AT beauties on our distant globe
Bewitching her the while.
Her golden sheets of yellow light 5fs
She drops upon the sea,
Then gliding DER each mountain height,
Yes, DER the topmost tree,
She winds her way toward the West
To kiss the beauties there,
Seemingly sinking down to rest
In seas of gauzy air. POP Corn.
