It was in Omaha. A lawyer wa

1t was in Omaha. A lawyer was
addressing the Judge, and the Judge was
eating peanuts and reading novel. The
lawyer bore it for some time, and then
angrily remarked: II suppose am en-
titled to claim the attention ofthis court"
"Well, sir" retorted the Judge, "the'
court has long suspected you and will do
its duty the first chance it gets"
Said a young man once, and with
deep feeling: ri remember with graft
tude tho thousand and one little kind
nesseses done me by my sainted mother;
but more than all do I remember what
she did not do. She never administered
reproof to me in the presence of compar-
ative strangers; she was always too care
full of my feelings to do that. After the
company had dispersed she would quiet
ly say. My boy made mistake at the
table to-day and then she would tell
me of some error in speech or manner,
or reprove some brusqueness or rudeness
of which I had been guilty" Surely
this is lesson for fathers and mothers.
If you would save their pride and win
their gratitude, never reprove your chill
dren ir the presence of visitors Or stran-
gers

The CHURCH MUST PREACH AGAINST
STEAL1NG.-"Thou shall not steal" seems
to be the troublesome part of the deca-
logue for large proportion of our peo-
ple and the offences against this COM
mandmentseem to be acquiring that semi
tolerant reception which, in q more
marked way, attends unchastity in the
Latin nations. This is tendency, only
a tendency to be resisted, resistance to
which is one of the important duties of
the American pulpit. The Indian is
robbed; the cities are robbed; the ma
tional government is robbed. There is a
startling statement ascribed to official au-
.thority that it would cost SIS, 900 to pre-
pare a list of official defalcations and
Shortages within the last seven years.
There is something staggering in the
statement. We have,altogether too many
well-behavcd thieves, thieves in honest
clothes, and under Christian professions.
Our thought is that the pnblic education
needs to be attended to. Morals should
be given prominence in the education OF
the young, prominence in the instruction
given by the pulpit and the press. We
must also learn how to condemn effect
lively the dishonest man, how to taboo
him with the relentless severity which we
visit upon offenders against chastity.
Upon the churches must fall the greater
share Of the task of resisting this ten
dency and preventing its passing on into
cofirmed habit.-7he Methodist.

THE MINIMUM CHR1srrAN.-The
minimum Christian And who is he !?
The Christian who is going TO heaven
at the cheapest rate possible. The Chris
tian who intends to get all of the world
he can, and not meet the worldings'
doom. The Christian who aims to have
as little religion as he may without lack
ing it altogether.
The minimum Christian goes to church
in the morning; and in the afternoon
also, unless it rains, or it is too warm, or
too cold, or he is sleepy, or has the head
ache from eating too much at dinner
He listens most respectfully to the preach
er and joins in prayer and praise. He
applies the truth very judiciously, some
times to himself, oftener to his neigh
bors.
The minimum Christian is very friend
ly to all good works. He wishes them
we'll, but it is not in his powerto do much
for them. The Sabbath school he looks
upon as an admirable institution, espe-
cfally for the neglected and ignorant. 1t
is not convenient, however, for him to
take class. His business engagements
are so pressing during the week that he
needs the Sabbath as q day of rest; nor
does he think himself qualified to act as a
teacher. There are so many persons bet
ter prepared for this important duty,
that he must beg to be excused. He is
very friendly to home and foreign mis-
sions, and colportage, and gives his mite:
He thinks there are "too many appeals" +"
but he gives, if not enough to savehis rep
utation, pretty near it; at all events, ne
aims at it.
The minimum Christian is not clear on
number of points, The opera and dan,
cling, the theatre and card playing, and
large fashionable parties, give him much
trouble. He cannot see the harm in this,
or that, or the other popular amuse-
ment. There is nothing in the Bible
against it. He does not see but that g
man may be Christian, and dance or 60
to the opera. He knows several excel
lent persons who do. Why should not be

that in trying to get to heaven with lit
tie religion, you miss it altogether; lest,
without gaining the whole world, you
lose your own soul.

vent the accidents to which railroad
trains are liable from one car jumping
the track, the plan has been devised Of
applying to cars kind of shoe, consist
ing of clamp-like arrangement, which
is placed between the wheels of each
truck. This runs about two inches from
the rail, and if anything happens tend
ing to throw the wheels from the track,
the clamp at once grasps the rails, holds
the car on the track, and brings the train
to speedy halt. Such shoe will! it is 5

show that the arrangement accomplishes
very effectively the object in view.

A STRUGGLE FOR APPEARANCE.-A.
st. Louis paper relates an instance of the
pride of child who struggled to keepuP
appearances in way that was touching
to witness. The hopelessness of the en-
deavor was made painfully manifest BY
the we'll meant action Of her teacher, and
the facts are these:
Just before the close of the last session
of the public schools in that city, an in"
cident took place which, as an illustra,,
ton, is more than touching. At one OF
the schools, numbers of the pupils were
in the habit of bringing luncheon with
them, which at noon they ate together.
Among those who did not 60 home for
dinner, the teacher in particular room
noticed a little girl who always sat look
ing wistfully at her Playmates when
they went out with their luncheon, but
who never brought any herself.
The child was always neatly but very
poorly clad, and one OF the closest still
dents in school hours. This odd action
of the child's lasted for some time, when
one day the teacher noticed that the lit

ner with her. The noon hour came, and
the children took their lunch as usual and
went out to eat it, the little girl referred
to alone remaining in the room, with her
dinner wrapped up P, in tt. the paper 5anthS on the
to the child and ask her why she didn't
90 out with the rest, at the same time put
ting out her hand toward the package on
the desk. Quick as thought the little
girl claspsd her hands over it and ex-
claimed sobbing:
"Don't touch it, teacher, and don't tell,
please It's only blocks" And that was
the fact. Having no dinner to bring,
and too proud to reveal the poverty OF
her family, the child had carefully
wrapped up a number of small blocks in
paper and brought the package to present
the appearance of lunch 1t was moth,
ing; mere ridiculous incident in school
life; but it was sufficient to make wiser
and older hearts than hers sad.

The HIGHER AIM IN FARMING.-The
higher aim of every intelligent tiller of
the soil should be the improvement of
the productiveness of his land, until it
reaches the point where maximum crops
are produced at the least expense. Wise
husbandry regards the farm simply as a
machine for turning cut crops. The ma
chine is the matter of first importance.
This is always to be kept in good run
ming order, and its efficiency is TO be in
creased by all economical methods. The
man who farms upon this system will
never sacrifice soil for great crop. His
aim is to have crop found it. He aims
in,eyery working of the soil to increase
its depth and to add to it more elements
of fertility than he removes in the crops,
and to make the crops not only pay for
themselves, but to pay for the improve
ment of the acres upon which they are
grown. In carrying out this aim so as
to realize these results, a man shows his
skill as cultivator. 1t is a compara-
lively easy thing, for any one who has
money, to improve the soil so that it
shall produce crops paying for the labor
ofgrowing them and the interest on $500
or $500 An acre. Stable manure, enough,
we'll plowed in, will do this. But it is
altogether another matter to make this
Improvement pay for itself. Yet it is q
possible thing to do this, and there are
farmers skillful enough to accomplish
this, result, and this we hold to be the
trne aim in the cultivation of the soil.
The most judicious improvements are
those which finally pay the largest pro-
fits, requiring several years to bring in
their full returns. II is matter OF great
importance that our farming population
should not be only settled, but that they
should feel settled, and plan all their
operations upon the farm as if they ex-
pected to spend their days upon it,

squire to dine with him, one day. When
game was put on the table, and the squire
got a snipe on his plate, he took it by

were horri6ed. The king saw 1t, and
knew that if the squire should glance up
and see their looks he would know that
he was doing something dreadful, and be
covered with confusion; whereupon the
king took his own snipe by the legs and
