"When horse eats too fast put a
few good sized rocks ia his feed-box
and it will take him n long time to sort
out his feed from stones" A Superior
street man whose wife talked him TO
the verge OF the grave read the above
recipe and an idea struck him imme-
diately in the head. He sprang up,
overcome with gladness, and kicked
his slipper plumb through a window
pane. He had purchased his with n
large amount OF chewing gum with the
hope that by keeping her jaws at work
on that, it would so weary them that
she would be unable TO blow him up
But il seemed to make no difference.
Her tongue flew at the rate OF 900
strokes a minute, and she would chew
the gum with one side OF her mouth
and talk with the other. But when he
read the above recipe he said, 81 have
i'll" He went 10 a shoemaker's shop
and secured big chunk Of shoemak-
ers' wax and mixed il with gum. The
next morning she came down cheerful
as ever, took mp her "claw" OF gum,
and started out 70 blow up her liege
lord.
But she didn't do il. The first time
she set her teeth into the gum she was
seized with the combination lockjaw
and now silence and quiet reigns in
that Superior street household. All
the noise that can be heard is the clink
OF the locksmith's tools in the darken-
ed room, where sits the wife with her
jaws in a sling and crowbar with
two hundred weight on the end be-
tween her teeth. The doctor fears that
the only cure that there is for the poor
woman, is to blast her jaws apart. The
"croal" husband is still at large.

Thou shalt Not steal.

What poisonous malaria is there in
the mir before which such men as Mr..
Lambert aud Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Gill
man succumb? Speculation, gambling,
theft, these steps succeed each other
with frightful facility in the progress
downward. Mr.. Gilman would not
have forged that FIRST check in COM
munity where moral principle was stall
wart and moral honor high.
Does il not also disclose fatal de-
feet in our Christian society? 1t is
idle to say that Christianity is not on
trial; Christianity is not, but Christian
men and Christian institutions are.
The world looks to see what sort of
fruit grows in the garden OF the Lord,
picks a defaulter. and turns away with
a WY face. Christianity was not on
trial when Tetzel went hawking indul-
gences over Europe to the highest bid
der: but the organization that called
itself the Church OF Christ was on trial,
was weighed in the balances, and was
found wanting To-day the Christian
church is on trial. Are there no Prot
estant indulgences? Is there no Prot
estant absolution? Does the Protes-
tant pulpit thunder oni, "Thou shalt
not steal?' Does it teach its congre-
cation TO abhor that which is evil? Is
there real education Of the conscience
Or is the institution on which the COM
munity has been accustomed TO rely
for tho atoning Of conscience, for the
nerving OF the soul against subtle
temptation, become itself unnerved
and low in tone? Has the salt lost it's
