\ BoTToMLEss PIT.-Frank Messick, an
individual whose head measures about 40
inches in circumference, well known
loafer about the county ate one night last
week, 81 ginger cakes. The first ten soon
disappeared, the second ten little more
slowly, the third quite deliberately, and
between the last two he paused long enough
to remark that he had nearly meal, but
for so cents he would eat twenty more. He
has been known to get outside Of is large
cakes. On one occasion he nearly bank
rupted a Church Festival by consuming 10
large plates Of ice cream, Is slices Of cake
and twelve cups of coffee. He had to sue
cumb, however, when some young men
piled him with whisky, rum and beer,
mixed. That's the only time he ever felt
sick.-Salgjury (Md.) I;nas.

TUENIEG a JEST INTO FAcr-When the
invention Of the telephone was first an
nounced, it was humerously suggested that
eventfuIly people would not need to 90 to
church, but through their private tele.
phones could hear their favorite preachers
sermon while reclining at their ease in their
boudoirs and drawing rooms. The jest has
already been in part turned into fAct-not
for the beneitof the lazy but for the crippled
who are unable to 20 to church. DR.. Moses
Iogc, the pastor Of the second Presbyterian
church Of Richmond, Va, is said few
Sundays ago to have lad a telephone com.
munication established between his pulpit
and the room Of his daughter, who has been
confined to her room for ten years. She
was able 10 hear perfectly, and to Join i'll
the whole service ofthe church, for the first
| time in ten years. What objection there
can be to extending thus, the privilege Of
| the Lords house to such as cannot other
wise avail themselves of them, we cannot
see.
