Times why the Democrats who carried two Of
the three Congressman had majority of fou1

hundred votes or so lost the Governor and the

acting IN the interests Of economy and efficiency.
they turned ont Of Office all the experienced

A Mod0c at Church.

ONE tolerably good thing is reported Of
that small section of the Modoc tribe
now on atour throughout the country at
the expense of and for the profit Of two
or three white men. One Of these Indi-
ans recently taught several small boys
how to conduct themselves in church.
The Indians, it seems, took Lexington,
KY, in their tour and chanced to be there
on Sunday, when several Of them at
tended the Baptist Church to observe the
white mans way of propitiating the
Great Spirit and smoothing the path to
the happy hunting grounds. AS mat
ter of course where the Indians were
there were the small boys also, and a
company of the youths managed to se-
cure seats directly in front of the noble
red men where curiosity could be thor
oughly gfatificd. When the sermon be-
gan the boys turned round and stared at
the Indians uninterruptedly, never flag
ging bit in the gaze of open-mouthed
wonder. The Indian, as rule, is stoicai,
but he was not stoical enough to endure
the gimAet look of those boys, which be.
came, finally, uncomfortable. One Of the
Modocs, forced to action, leaned sudden
ly forward and seized boys head as
though he wanted scalp, but he didn't
make any attempt to secure that trophy.
He simply twisted the boys head around
until il looked in the direction of the
minister, and at the same time signifi-
cant gesture to the other boys caused
them to look the same way. Never did
boys pay better attention to sermon
than did those of Lexington during the
remainder of the exercises, and the Mo-
doc demonstrated that he had in him big
material for Sunday-school superin-
tendent.-St. Louis Republican.

THE better kind of matches undergo
what is called frame-dipping," which
consists in arranging the splints, already
cut to the desired length Of the mach, in
square wooden frames, at equal and short
distances from one another. The COM
position is spread by spatula on q
smooth stone or metallic surface, warmed
by steam, in a uniform layer of some
thickness. The prepared frame is placed
horizontally upon this, SO that all the
ends Of the splints sink to the bottom Of
the composition. When the frame is re-
moved, each splint is found dipped with
q small button of paste, which in drying
acquires the ordinary ovoid shape.
After all the dipping has been done
the matches are dried in aroom especially
adapted for the purpose-artiicially
heated and fire-proof. The last thing of
all is boxing" The splints are re-
moved from the frames or loosened from
the bundles, as the case may be, by per.
SONS who are known as "emptiers." The
same persons act also as "boxers" or
"lidders," which names express the
duties they have to perform. "Cross-
cutting" is done prior to frame filling"
but with bundles, as was intimated, it
follows the dipping. The vapors of the
phosphorus escape in several Of the proc
esses: in mixing the composition, dip
ping, drying and boxing. The better
class of manufactures have separate
rooms for each Of these, and only the
persons especially engaged in them can
inhale the poisonous emanations. But
in some instances the entire business is
done in one small room, aud all the work.

"Mes wart some bread an butter

"Mes wart some bread an BUTTER"
said Robbie, meekly.
Mamma looked at him as though she
had never seen him before.
"I haven't any bread and butter for
children who don't live here" said she.
You'd better run home, little boy"
With choke in his throat Robbie
turned and ran to the playhouse. Ches-
ter was very indignant over this repulse,
and shook his head and talked about
running away.
Meantime it was growing dark, and
Bridget lighted up the dining-room SO
bright that the light shone in at their
little window Mamma told her not to
put down the curtains. So they stood
by their window looking over into the
cheerful room, while Bridget went about
and set the table, without their little
trays, and leaving their hieh-chairs stand
ing against the wall. Pretty soon she
put on great pile of fine white bread,
and nice slice of golden butter, and
then came a dish of clear apple-sauce,
and plate of fresh gingerbread.
After awhile she rang the bell, and the
family came in and the two boys, lean
ing on their window-sill and eagerly gag
ing at them, saw them gather around
the table, and mamma began to pour
the tea; but she looked very sober, Rob-
bic thought, and the choke came up in
his throat again. Then they turned
away from the window, but their little
house looked dark and gloomy, and they
felt forlorn and homeless.
SO in another minute there came an
other knock at the side door, and when
mamma opened it very penitent little
figure sprang in, threw his arms around
her neck and burst into tears.
"Oh!I want to live with you," he
sobbed, as soon as he could speak. "Tm
your boy; grew just for you, an I'll
never 60 way again!"
Chester walked composedly in, and
said gravely, though with husky voice,
and suspicious little gasp now and
then;
"I want to stay-in this house-'cause
you're my own-aunt, an I'm willing to
and butter"
Mamma comforted Robbie, and rang
the bell for Bridget to bring plates and
and soon they were seated in
their old places eating bread and butter
with ravenous appetites. But every few
minutes Robbie would turn around and
throw his arms around mammals neck
and sob, and cry out:
"Oh, feel as if ! should cry, when
think about going away from you to
liver'- Christian Union.

THE LITTLE WHITE LIE.

WAS in trouble beyond any doubt
was in trouble-and how to get out?
"Tell white lie" said the devil to me.
"Tell lie, o! how dreadful! But what
would it be
If / should ?-though never shall tell one, +"
said l.
"Don't be frightened" said he, "we won't
call it lie
A few words in their way quite as good as the
truth,
And for this occasion far better, forsooth."
But my little white lie, when told it, grew
black;
Then, O! how could hide it or how get it
back?
For it never would do to be caught in lie,
For twas known that very good youngster
was I.
must manage in some way to keep it from
sight;
"Tell one more," said the devil; "'twill make
it all right"
But my two grew to three, and my three were
soon four,
And my four gave rise to dozen or more;
Till felt in my soul such sense of dis
grace,
had scarcely one friend I could look in the
face;
And at night to my room went creeping up
stairs
God is truth! could | sleep without saying
my prayers?
But my fears and my conscience thus followed
about,
l was really half glad when the lie was found
out;
For it vast is always the way with lie
And all said that very bad youngster was I.
Good or bad, have learned in one thing to
be wise,
And shun in the future all little white lies.

EcIipses In China.

The Imperial Almanac" published
in the first instance by the Board Of
Rites at Pekin, and afterward by the
various provincial authorities, does not,
so far as we are aware, mention before
hand the coming eclipses Of the sun and
moon; but the imperial astronomers,
some time previous to their occurrence,
notify the Board of the very hour when
they may be expected to be visible, and
this information is at once transmitted,
through the high provincial officers, to
all the subordinate officials throughout
the Empire, whose duty it is to "save
the sun and the moon" from being
devoured by some celestial monster; for
the Chinese nation at large has no def
mite notion of the actual cause Of
eclipses, o. may be inferred from the
terms by which they denote them, viz;
" Jih-shih" and Yueh-shih" literally
meaning an eating Of the sun and moon
respectively. The agent in tho matter
il usually thought TO be the omniveroua

The Two BiIls-A Fable.

Two BILLS were waiting in the bank
for their turn to go out into the world.
One was little bill-only one dollar;
the other was big bill-a thousand-dol-
lar bill
While lying there side by side they
fell a-talking about their usefulness. The
dollar bill murmured out:
"Ahl if were as big as you what
good would do! could move in such
high places and people would be SO care
full OF me wherever should go. Every
body would admire me and want to take
me home with them; but, small as am,
what good can dor Nobody cares much
for me. am too little to be of any
use."
"Ah! yes; that is So" said the thou
sand-dollar bill; and it haughtily gath.
cred up its well-trimmed edge that was
lying next the little bill in conscious
superiority. "That is so," it repeated.
IF you were as great as | ana thou
sand times bigger than you Me-then
you might hope to do some good in the
world" And its face smiled wrinkle
of contempt for the little dollar bill.
Just then the cashier comes, takes the
little murmuring bill and kindly gives it
to poor widow.
God bless you'll" she cries, as with
smiling face she receives it. MY dear
hungry children can now have some
bread"
A thrill of joy ran through the little
bill as it was folded up in the widows
hand, and it whispered: "Imay do some
good, though am small" But when it
saw the bright, happy faces of her father
could do little good.
Then the little dollar bill began its
journey of usefulness. 1t went first to
the bakers for bread, then to the
miller's, then to the farmers, then to the
laborer's, then to the Doctors, then to
the minister's; and, wherever it went, it
gave pleasure, adding something to their
comfort and joy.
At last, after long, long pilgrimage
of usefulness among every sort of people,
it came back to the bank again,
crumpled, defaced, ragged, softened by
its daily use. Seeing the thousand-dollar
bill lying there, with scarcely wrinkle
or finger.mark upon it, it exclaimed:
"Pray, sir, what has been your meas
ure of usefulness?"
The big bill sadly replied: II have
been frcm safe to safe among the rich,
where few could see me, and they were
afraid 10 let me 60 out far lest should
get lost. Few indeed are they whom /
have made happier by my mission"
Then the little dollar bill said: ut il
better to be small and 60 among the
multitudcs dviug sood thon to b. 90
great as to be imprisoned in the safes Of
the few" And it rested satisfied with
| its lot.

day duties makes one the most useful

Glover Turned Under.

Mr.. j. GREGORY, few years ago,
moved from Tennessee and bought
plantation in Murray County, Ga.
The land at the time he purchased it
with a good season, would produce ten
bushels of wheat to the acre. In Octo-
Der Mr.. Gregory sowed broadcast fifteen
acres of white Boughton wheat, one
bushel to the acre, and in February tol-
lowing he sowed the same ground In red
clover, sowing broadcast in two ways.
one bushel to eight acres. He harvested
ten bushels Of wheat per acre and cut .
fine crop Of hay the same season. Tho
next year he moved two crops Of good
slower hay, averaging two tons per acre.
The third crop grew up from four to
eight inches high, and In October he
plowed the clover under, plowing deep
and subsoiling; 'sowed one bushel Of
white Boughton wheat per acre. The
result was an average Of thirty and one
half bushels of choice wheat per acre.
Thus, you will see that the only manure
used to improve the land and get thirty
and one half bushels Of wheat where he
could only raise ten was to plow under
deep . good crop Of clover and subsoil.
