AN AsTONIsHED MINIsTER.

In A small city not far distant from
tbe Hub resides a dentist named
Brown. He received an order from
his beloved minister for a set OF
false teeth. The work was executed
promptly. add the shepherd OF his
flock called in at the appointed time
to receive them.
Brown fixed them in his reverend
customers mouth. when the latter.
stepping to the glass to see the ef-
feet. said slowly and distltctlv:
"Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ.
Now Brown, who was more noted
for his Guickness of temper and pro
family than for his piety; and hearing
his customer speaking in such a
manner. his ire was quickly aroused.
BLAST it." he exclaimed, If you
don't like the teeth. you needn take
them. but there is no necessity OF
swearing so about it..
The astonished minister drew
back.
NV dear sir" he said, Il was not
swearing about the teeth. but for ten
wears I have not been able to pro-
nounce nv beloved saviour's name
distinctly; I was only trying your
teeth.

On reaching Florence Station. on
the Nashville an l Chattanooga road:
the other day. the conductor called
out its name to the passengers IN
side the ladies' coach with much en-
phasis. when n young lady by that
name from Winchester responded,
Eyes. sir" and started toward him.
The commotion this little incident
occssioned among the passengers.
and the bushes which crimsoned
Miss Florence's face on discovering
her mistake. can easily be imagined.
There are more seals on St. Paul s
island. Alaska. than were ever known
before. Ninety-fve thousand have
alrealv been taken. and 100000 Is
the limit allowed by law. From the
number of vearlings that have re-
turned. last Winter, mnst have been
favorable for them. The present
season is equally favorable for the
Young. In short. it looks as if after
another year it would be necessary
TO increase the number allowed to
be taken.
