CHURCH PEws.-This is a speck Of
history connected with the origin of
church pews that cannot but help prove
interesting. In the early days of the
Anglo-Saxon and some of the Norman
churches a stone bench afforded the only
sitting accommodations for members or
visitors. In the year 1919 they are spoken
OF as sitting upon the ground or in q
standing posture. AT later period the
people introduced low three-legged stools,
and they were placed in no uniform or
der in the church. Directly after the
Norman conquest wooden seats came in
fashion. In 1887 a decree was issued
that none should call any seat in tie
church his own except noblemen and pa
irons, each entering and holding the one
he first found. From 1880 to 1910 seats
were appropriated, and a crowbar guard
cd the entrance, bearing the initials OF
the owner. 1t was in 1908 that galleries
were thonght of. And as early 1914 pews
were arranged to afford comfort by being
baisel or cushioned, while the sides a
round were so high as to hide the occu
Talts--G device of the Puritans TO avoid
being seen by the officer, who reported
those who did not stand when the name
Of Jesus was mentioned.

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are consider
ed as wishing to continue their subscrip-
ton.
2. If subscribers wish their papers dis
continued, publishers may continue to
send them until all charges are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their papers from the office or place
to which they are sent, they are held re-
sponsibe until they settle their bills and
give due notice to discontinue.
4. If subscribers move to other places

A WoMAN's BARGAIE.-The Liver
pool Steam Packet Company, wishing to
exteud its premises, decided to purchase
adjoining land, which was owned by a
maiden lady of uncertain age. The lady
sold the land cheap, but caused to be in
serted in the agreement an article TO the
effect that during her lifetime she and a
lady companion should have the privi-
lege Of travelling free in any Of the Conn
pany's vessels, The day after the agree
meut was signed she sold her house and
furniture, and, having found compan-
ion, went on board of one of the company's
steamers, Just about to sail for South
America, and from that time to this she
has lived at sea and at the company's ex-
pense. She advertises for some lady
who wishes to make the voyage as her
companion, and who pays her fare, and
in this way, it is said, has already ac-
cumulated about $4,000. The company
have offered her more than this TO cancel
the agreement, but this she refuses to do,
and as the life at sea suits her health re-
markably, there is no present prospect
that her voyage will soon come to an end.

SEEING MoTHER.-A lady was once
riding in her carriage among the noun
tains, when they came upon an old wo-
man, with funny hood on her head,
and a staff in her hand, walking on all
alone. She was neat and clean, and her
skin was soft and delicate, but her back
was bent and she was barefoot.
The lady saw that she was shoeless,
and stopped the carriage. Here is some
money" said the lady in a tender tone.
"What for?" said the woman, looking
up pleasantly.
"To buy shoes for your poor feet. Do
you not want pair of shoes?"
The woman laughed little low laugh
which seemed to come from heart filled
with simple happy thoughts.
81 s'pose | do" said the woman, "but
didn't think Of anybody's givin' 'em to
me-"
Take this bill, please, and buy you a
pair" said the lady.
"God bless and reward you'll" answered
the woman, heartily.
The ca riage drove on and the lady
sank back on the seat with tears in her
eyes. "Oh!" said she, 81 thought l saw
my own mother in that dear old lady.
She had just such a sweet face and pleas
ant voice. You don't know how felt
when | thought of my mother, old and
feeble, walking with bare feet over this
rough, rocky roadr'
If we all saw our fathers and mothers,
brothers and sisters, in the poor, the cold
and hungry, what a world this would
soon be.

WHAT ALLIED THE BUTTER.-Jones
seemed doomed to have trouble at his
clearinghouse. The other morning he
went down to his breakfast in fne hu-
NOR, and thought he would have some
fun with the landlady. While all the
boarders were plastering their hot cakes
with butter, Jones called out from his
end of the table TO the solemn man next
10 the landlady's end Of the board:
"Mr. Rhodes, be so kind as to re-
quest the butter to amble in this d.
rection ~
Several boarders smiled, and the land
lady cast a threatening look at Jones
but he acted as though he didn't see it
and soon remarked
''lf was as strong as that butter
ia hire out to a circus, and trave
around, having big pictures in ten col
ors and stuck upon fences and dead
walls, showing me off as the "Man will
the Iron Jaw" boldin' up black tes
boxes marked fifty pounds in whit
paint"
"Mr. JONES'" sharply demanded th'
landlady was it you that went stumbling
up stairs at one o'clock this morning
singing, 'Das was gooter larger beer,
or something Of the sort p
Jones protested that he was in bed a
nine o'clock in the evening, and as SO
Der as judge. A painful silence en-
sued, which Jones soon disturbed,
"If l furnished the help around thi
house, I'd hire real, genuine, live Ca
manche Indians"
"Mr. Jones !" exclaimed the landla
dy, what do you mean by such out
rageous conduct ?"
BEG pardon, ma'am, but you dom
comprehend ; the Indian would be righ
handy TO scalp the hair off the butte
before break"
Five men lodged in a hurry as tn
sugar bowl went whizzing at Jones
head, W lille that individual slid under th
table. The next minute he was fyin
out through the hall door into the street
and the landlady was just far enough be
hind to miss when she grabbed at hi
coat tail. As Jones stopped TO tell po
lceman what the row was about, she in
formed him:
"Mr. Jones, you impudent, drunken
rascal, it'll take a distress warrant AND
two constables to get your rags and dad,
out Of here, and they'd better be quick
about it, too"
And now Jones is boarding elsewhere
Gin a quiet neighborhood," he says

IN the Sacramento, Cal, jail. Turley is

cure evidence that David has been SUBJ

from the gallows. No evidence of this
character can be adduced in this county,
hence Turiey will probably be executed.
His family seem fatcd. His father killed
himself during the war his older broth

A Wo2LD OF SUICIDE.-Professo
Fsraday has given it as his opinion that
all who die before they are a hundred
years old may be justly charged with
self murder; that Providence, having or
ignally intended man to live a century,
would allow him to do so if he did not
kill himself by eating Wholesome food,
all wing himself to be annoyed by triaes,
giving license to passion and exposing
himself to accident. The French savan,
Flourin, advanced the theory that the
duration Of life is measured by the growth.
VIII n the bones epiphysis are united, 4,
the body grows no more, and it is at
twenty years that this union is affected
in man. The natural termination of life
is five removes from the several points.
Nan, being twenty years in growing,
lives, or should, five times twenty years; !;
The camel is eight years in growing, and
lives five times eight years; the horse is
five years in growing, and lives twenty
five years, and SO on with other animals.
