A Quaker having married for his wife
member of the Church of England,
was asked, after the ceremony, by the
clergyman for his fee, which he said was
a crown. The Quaker, astonished at the
demand, said if he could be shown any
text in Scripture which proved the fee
was crown he would give it, upon which
the clergyman directly turned to the
twelfth chapter of Proverbs, verse four
where it said : "a virtuous woman is 6
crown to her husband" Thou arr
right" replied the Quaker, in thy as
sertion Solomon was wise man. Here
is thy money, which thou hast well ant
truly earned

How SOME SHIPS ARE Scrubbed
1t seems that in several places in the
world, there are volcanoes under the sea.
Such volcanoes of course, do not send up
volumes of flame and smoke. Instead,
they pour forth streams of sulphurous
acid vapor that mingle with the sea
water. Some of these volcanoes are sit
ua:ed in bays where ships can safely
ride at anchor.
As is well known, the bottom of some
ships are protected by covering of cop
per. This copper, after time becomes
corroded by the action of the sea-water
a sort of green mould forms, sea MOSES
begin to grow, and even small sea ami
mails like the barnacles build their shell
houses upon it. Of course all these
things roughen the ships bottom, and as
the vessel gathers more and more, il
sails very much slower by reason of the
great accumulation. Then, if she hap
pens TO be anywhere in the neighborhood
of these submerged volcanoes, the cap
tain sails her thither to be secured.
This securing process does not require
hands or machinery of any sort. All
that is necessary is that the ship should
lie quietly at anchor where the sulphur
Gus acid vapor, mingled with the sea
water can gently wash her sides and
bottom. In few days or weeks, as the
case may be, not weed, nor barnacle
not bit of the dark green mould re
mains, and the ship can sail off again
her copper bottom as clean and brigh-
as when it was first put on.
I've heard boys say, speaking of Thu
same thing, they read about it in a bool
called Cosmos, written by one Hum
boldt. Some of you may like to lool
into it.-S. Nicholas for March.

Nor AT HoME"-A Whitehall lady
was sitting at her sewing one day last
week, when she observed approaching
the house a neighbor whom she did not
care to see. She quickly dropped her
work and stepped into closet, SO as to
be not at home to her caller. The
closet door closed with spring. Four
hours later her husband returned home
at supper time, and, having occasion to
look into the closet, discovered his wife
lying insensible on the floor. The air re-
vived her, and she is now clear that it
would have been on the whole less try
ing to have seen her talkative neighbor.

MOODY AND SANKEY.-A writer in
the N. Y. World gives the following ac-
count of the manner in which these re-
vivalists are supported
How Mr. Moody and Mr.. Sankey, who
live well and are well attired, subsist
without the contributions of money
which are offered to them invariably in
vain, is a question that puzzles a good
many people. Ever since they began
in the West their work, which was after
wards extended into England, Scotland
and Ireland, they have sturdily declined
payment. They receive considerable
profits on the sales of their hymn books,
but Mr.. Moody will have nothing to do
with such moneys except to use them
for poor churches and Sunday schools
and other charitable purposes. Henev-
er keeps a cent, nor, it is said, does Mr..
Sankey. How, then, do the preacher
and singer, neither of whom has any
private fortune, pay their way?
Mr.. Moody's startling success in Chi
cago was illustrated by the conversation
and the friendship of many of the rich
est citizens. Among his best friends was
John V. Farwell, the great dry-good
merchant of the Northwest, to whom
while he was accumlating his estate the
late Mr.. Stewart extended credits. Mr..
Farwell said to Mr.. Moody at the conclu-
sion of his labors there MOODY, |
know you want to go out and preach.
You ought to. Go ahead, and I'll see
that you have the means. Mr. Far
we'll and several other wealthy gentle
men speedily arranged for the necessary
income, and have ever since maintained
it. This is why Moody and Sankey are
able to decline to take toll for themselves
along the way.

The stuff That Fell.

During the month of August, 1867,
masses of gelatinous matter containing
minute granules were found inthe streets
of the city of Albany, New York State.
The following account of the phenome-
non, published at the time, is from DIR.
j. S. Mosher, then of the Albany uni-
versity:
Viewed through microscope the
small brick colored bodies were some
what of the shape Of grains of wheat,
and the gelatinous matter Seemed to be
connected to each one in separate COW
ering. They were apparently separate
cells, very uniform in size, being 1-120
of an inch long and 1-150 Of an inch
thick, filled with granular particles,
from which they derived their color
The gelatinous envelope and their APP
pearance gave them at first somewhat
the character of one of the single celled
prototypes, resembling most the palmo-
glaa. That they were not these was
proven by their behavior with iodine
and their containingno distinct cell wall.
Several persons claim to have seen them
fall in shower, and they were not found
under trees or shelter. They have prob.
ably been carried a great distance by
the wind, and are likely to be germs of
marine growth, perhaps the .fa'cus pIaty-
carp,ts, which they resemble. The pres
ence of chloride of sodium, which is
found largely in the gelatinous envelope,
is confederation of their marine origin.

Gen. santa Anna In his Ola Age.

Santa Anna lives in the city of Nlexi.
co, in a third-rate house of two stories,
with courts not more than twenty feet
square, the pavements out of repair, the
whole telling the story of poverty. He
was seated upon much worn sofa, at
tended by smart appearing Mexican Of
middle age, and rose, with some diff
Guilty, in receiving us. He complained
considerably of his wooden leg, and alsc
of blindness.
He is an old man of eighty years
very decrepit, yet in full command OF
his faculties has a good head and face,
not unlike the picture of Humboldt in
old age, with broad temples and an alb
rupt, square nose, and, at one time, good
eyes. He had little to say, but appear
en- pleased at our visit and, as we told
him of the four or five general officers of
the Mexican war still living, he listened
with interest, but showed no special rec
ognition until the name of Pillow was
mentioned, whom he remembered per-
fectly.
Over the sofa where Santa Anna sat
was the picture of beautiful woman in
her fullness of youth and loveliness
This was his wife when both led the for
tunes of Mexico. As we passed out the
court our attention was called to the fig
ure of a woman of fifty in the window
in plain dress, and devoid Of
any interesting attribute. This was she
whose picture had so interested us, Mrs.

John Sullivan Adams.

j. S. Adams, so we'll known in this
state for many years as the active and
enthusiastic secretary of the Board of
Education, died at his home in Jackson
vile, Florida, on Sunday, April 23d.
He was born at Burlington in 1920, and
was therefore 56 years of age at the
time of his death. He entered college
at the age of IA and graduated in 1888.
lie was best known to the people of this
state by his work and zeal for the COM
mon schools of Vermont, a work that
will long endure and is yet fresh in the
momory of the people. Partly from
failing health and partly from differ
ence with the Board of Education in
regard to text books, he resigned as Sec
rotary and went to Jacksonville, Flori-
da in the fall of 1867, where he had
held several positions of trust, and was
postmaster of that city at the time of his
death. He was twice married. A love-
ly daughter by his first marriage died
while at school at Brattleboro in Decem-
Der 1874. A son also by his first mar
rage, his wife, and most devoted sis
ter, survive him. He died of consump-
ton.
He was unselfsh, publicspirited and off
unquestioned integrity. His services to
this state were very great and valuable,
and teachers and all who have ever felt
an interestin the common schools of Yer
mont will hear with sorrow the announce
ment of his death, and deeply sympa-
thize with his bereaved family.
