great misfortune, for he was disabled, ex-
cept to limited extent, from following
his usual avocation, and forced idleness
brought with it winter Of hardship and
dependence on charity.
But the ten-dollar greenback. along
with its fellows, lay in Squire Cllnchs
desk for some time. The Squire had In
tow grand stroke of business. He held
q mortgage on certain piece OF valuable
property, whose owner was embarrassed
in his financial matters. The mortgage
would soon become due, and then he
meant to offer to buy the property at q
price far below its real value, and in the
event of his victims refusing to come to
his terms to threaten instant fore
closure. With this transaction in view
land he almost always had some similar
scheme ahead) he kept bis cash in readi-
ness in his own private desk, preferring
not to deposit in bank, as the times
were rather "panicky," and the tighter
and scarcer money was the more the
Squire thrived. He was cautious, safe
man--this Squire Clinch-and yet bold
and successful one, too. His wealth in
creased year by year, for he was ever on
the lookout to turn the misfortunes OF
others to his own gain. Still the money
lay in his desk, waiting for the accom-
plishment of its selfish purpose, while 1t
ought TO have been in circulation, and
portion of it, at least, paying honest debts.
But few there are who are without an
hour of disaster at some time in their ca
reers, and Squire Clinch was no excep.
ton to the general rule. There was o
burglary one night. ihe 'Squire's house
was entered noiselessly, and while all the
inmates slept his desk was silently and
quickly opened. In the morning he
found the lock lying on the floor, the lid
tipped back and the greenbacks gone!
A great alarm was raised and detectives
set to work, but no clue to the money or
robbers could be found. His money
that had lain SO secluded and, as he
imagined, so safe was gone beyond recov-
cry. And with ii went the ten-dollar
greenback which we have mentioned. In
stead of accomplishing the good it might
have done, it was now serving bad pur-
poses in thieves hands. What fate!
Which greenback was the more to be
envied--that of Luke Preston, whose ca
reer carried il over SO many checkered
scenes, and whose passage in its multi
form divisions from hand TO hand was in
every case message of gladness, token
Of honesty, and promoter OF prosperity,
or that of Squire Clinch, whose only
change from the dull monotony of its use
less, selfish life was such disastrous
one?
Let those in whose care the destiny of
greenbacks may be placed take warning
from these two cases, and so act on the
lesson taught as TO make the world pros
porous, their neighbors glad, and them
selves richer in the return sure to follow I!

by male relation, who does the honors.
Some tribes Of the Arabs permit the
women to drink coffee with strangers on
their arrival, provided the owner of the
tent be present Among those tribes who
are continually exposed to the passage OF
strangers, it must DE confessed that hos
pitality can only be purchased by money,
and on the Hal route little mercy is
shown to pilgrims in distress. The influx
of foreign manners has done good deal
toward impairing the ancient virtues OF

-Toast-Warm your bread well, by
changing the sides of the slice when heat
ed through, brown as is desired; there
should he rather little than much brown
ing, and the slices should be quite thin,
say a quarter or three-eighths of an inch
mo more. But do not scorch; avoid
that in all cases. The philosophy OF
browning is to take your time until you
are done. Where the toast accumulates,
keep hot dish, but use as soon as posi-
Bile. What is desirable in toast is the
rich color and flavor formed by changing
the starch into dextrine, or gum. Heat
evaporates moisture in bread as well as
elsewhere The moisture that escapes
from toast leaves the bread light, soft ana
porous inside.

Church Becoming Virtuous - The

The war upon the liquor dealers appears
TO be taken up by Trinity Church Many old
members, especially women. have remon-
strated with the trustees against letting the
property of the church tor the sale of in
tOxicating beverages, and it has been de-
cided that in future the property shall not
be let for such purposes. and as fast as pre-
cent leases expire holders engaged
in Objectionable business must va
cate. Under this rule about forty
dealers, some of them keeping well known
places, will be constrained to retire the first
of May. 1t is also stated that lady mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church are
making inquiries to ascertain if any mem
bers of the church own houses used for the
sale of liquor, gambling or more nefarious
purposes, that change may be effected.

Shipping Elephants.
A Calcutta newspaper saws:

The hosting into the air and lowering
elephants into the hold of chip is not only
| an unusual sight to most men, but also q
| strange experience to most elephants. They
were lashed with strong ropes, slung as far
| as practicable in sings, hoisted with cranes
| with three foot tackle, and lowered into the
| steamers hold like bale Of cotton. When
| in the hold they were placed in pens built
of strong teak timber baulks, bolted to the
ships side to prevent them from breaking
loose. The fear the animals suffered was
the only pain they underwent, and by
watching the eyes Of the poor beasts their
terror was very manifest. Tears trickled
down their mild countenances, and they
roared with dread, more especially when
tom Of which was sanded for them to
stand upon. We are told that one

This they would do for a spell of an hour
or more, and then desist for several hours
until the strange freak took them again
When they reached port they were hOisted
out of the hold and swan on shore, thirty
five being thus safely landed without any
accident whatever. When they were re-
leased from the sings it was a supreme
moment for the mahout, who was always |
