ARTIFICIAL FINs.--An ingenious
French man has invented species
of artificial fins, by the aid of which
the swimmer can walk in the water
with comparative case. 1t is rather
strange that of late years inventors,
DESTROYS of charging the sphere OF
mans locomotion, have confined
their attention almost exclusively to
the air. They have seemed bent
upon making man a poor sort OF
bird, when it would have been much
easier to make him Il successful fish.

THE SOLDIER AND A PACK OF
CARDS


playing cards during divine service.
The account is given in the En-
glish Journal A sergeant com
manded the soldiers at the church,
and when the parson read the pray
ers he took his text. Those who
had Bible took it out, but the sol
der had neither Bible nor common
prayer book, but pulling out pack
of cards, he spread them out before
him. He first looked at one and
then at another. The sergeant OF
the command saw him and said
Orchard put up the cards; this
is no place for them"
"Never mind that" said Richard.
When the service Yves over the
constable took Richard prisoner and
carried him before the Mayor.
"What have you brought this sol
der here for?"
"For playing cards in church"
"Well, soldier, what have you got
to say for YOURSELF"

"about six weeks on the march; /

| have nothing but pack Of cards
and | hope to satisfy your lordship
with the purity of my Intentions
Then spreading the cards before
the Mayor, he began with the ace
when | see the ace, it reminds
me that there is but one God.
When | see the deuce, it reminds
me of the Father and Son.
When | see the four, it reminds
me of the four EYangelists that
preached Mathew, Mark, Luke
and John.
When | see the five, it reminds
me of he wise virgins that trimmed
their lamps = there were ten, five
were shut out.
When / see the six, it reminds me
that in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth.
When | see the seven, it reminds
me that on the seventh day God
rested from the great work he had
made and hallowed it.
When ! see the eight, it reminds
me of the eight righteous persons
that were saved, when God destroy
ed the world-Noah and his wife, his
three sons and their wives.
When | see the nine, it reminds
me of the ten commandments which
God handed down to Moses on the
tablets Of stone.
When | see the king, it reminds
me of the Great King of Heaven,
which is God Almighty.
When | see the queen, it reminds
me of the Queen Of Sheba, who vlsi-
ted solomon, for she was as wise a
woman as he was man.
"Wcll, said the Mayor, you have
given me a description Of all the
cards in the pack except one.
"What is that y
"The Knave," said the Mayor.
Il viii give your honor a descrlp
ton of that, too, if you will not b'

"Well," said the soldier, 9Th
greatest knave that know of is tn
constable that brought me here"
II do not know" said the Mayor
"if he is the greatest knave, but
believe he is the greatest fool. p
The soldier went on to say:
