Women who Save.

Mrs. Hansen put fifty dollars in the
oven of her stove one night, to keep it
safe. Next morning after breakfast the
national debt had been diminished exact
" that much. A student of the curious
would find it interesting to note the places
in which women hide their money. One
excellent and frugal dame used to tuck
her little savings away under corner of
the carpet. The tiny roll Of greenbacks
grew fater and fater in the coulse of q
year or two, when, the day after it count
ed up to two hundred and fifty dollars,
the house took fire, burned to the ground,
and again the national debt was dimin-
ished by a little roll of woman's pin
money.
There was that other careful lady. too,
who used sometimes to hide her diamond
rings between two teacups in the kitchen

brick in the cellar, and again under the

other places Of safety for her jewels also,
the only trouble being that she had so
many hiding-places she occasionally for

Address to Sections.

Bishop Huntington, of the Protestant
Episcopal church, has word to say to
sections from which they may profit. A
great deal can be done for quietness in
churches by the sexton. The most per-
feet sexton ever saw was an apostle of
silence. His eye and ear and hand were
everywhere, and hs genius for forsta'ling
and suppressing confusion was wonderful.
Before service he always changed his
boots for slippers. He glided about the
aisles as noiselessly as ghost. He made
bookkeeping fine art. Doors and win
dows We're fixed SC that they would never
be heard. He took care that no sound
should come from the furnace or gas
fixtures after the service began. The fact
was that this was not mere instinct of
proprlety or crafty measure of success in
his office; it was a constant answer of his
believing and humble heart to the solemn
sentence. "The Lord is in His holy
temple. What contrast to the clumsy

The Dey1l's Fruit.

Potatoes were first introduced at Mos
COW by Mr.. Rowland, between eighty
and ninety years ago. At fist people
would neither plant nor touch them, say
ing they were the devil fruit, given to
HIM on his complaining to God that he
had no fruit, when he was to search in
the earth for some, which he did, and
found potatoes. A curious Berwickshire
legend, which, however, is Palpably an
achronical, attributes the introduction
of potatoes into Scotland to that famous
wizard Of the north, Sir Michael Scott.
The wizard and the devil being in part
nership, took lease Of farm on the
Mertoun estate, called Whitehouse. The
wizard was to manage the farm the devil
managed the capital. The produce was.
to be devided as follows: The first year,
Sir Michael was to have all that grew
above the ground, and his partner all
that grew below; the second year their
shares were to be just the opposite way
His satanic majesty, as is usual in such
cases, was fairly overreachcd in his bar
gain, for the wizard cunningly sowed al
the land in the first year with wheat, and
planted it with potatoes the second, SO
that the devil got nothing for his share
but wheat stubble and potatoe.tops; and
this scourging rotation Sir Michael con-
tinued, until he had not only beggared
his partner, but exhausted the soil. In
spite Of this legend, however, we must
continue to give credit to Sir Walter
Raleigh for having been the introduce1
Of potatoes into this country. The first
that tried them, we are told, fell into
the very natural mistake of eating the
apples, and disregarding tho roots. Tn

Two novel kinds of incendiarism lately

which appeared on the road outside the

the light and the cries proceeded from

LORENZO DOW.

Every body has heard or read of this
famous revival preacher, and a great
many anecdotes are related of him. He
was living at one time in hilly and
rocky place in Connecticut, when a very
comical joke was played on MI. Dow by
some unruly boys.
s ] don't suppose said our informant,
" that there's a prominent spot round the
place that the old man has not preached
and prayed on more then a half-dozen
times That is the right kind of a coun-
try" the speaker continued, cynically,
with sweep Of the hand towards its
stony fields and pastures, matched with
briers and bayberry bushes, 'sto produce
a religion hard enough for any body. No
wonder that the preachers were tough.
No nonsense at all about 'em. There's
material enough lying round loose there
to turn hell without any very great
strain Of Imagination. The old man got
his religion and his mission to preach
direct from there and from the Bible.
He didn't belong to no denomination, but
set out on his own hook. He didn't take
no pay, and went about as the apostles Of
old, wherever the spirit called him.
Lord, how he used to sail into preach
ers that got salaries! He had ideas of his
own, and was independent Of every Que
and everything, specially fashion. He
always wore his beard long when every
one else shaved theirs off, and he wore an
old straw hat, summer and winter, with
the brim half tore off.
"Every body went to hear him. and
when it was known that sOld Dow was
going to preach, all the other meetings
were deserted. The boys sometimes put
up jobs on him, though. recollect once
that he was to preach in an orchard, an,
big crowd gathered to hear him. Well
just before the meeting began the fellows
got him great hogshead to stand or
and filled it about two thirds full of wa
ter. They put in the head rather loosely
and waited for fun. Dow mounted or
the barrel, gave out his text, got fired up
and was prancing and humping around
on that barrel head in lively style, ant
suddenly in she went, splash, slush
boards, Dow, straw hat and all. The
water was about up to his neck. and hi
scrambled out, dripping all over. Jeru

ground, but significantly he ha6
