What a Goat Did.

An English girl, near Manchester, tied a
string TO her toe and let 1.-THE string not
the toe-hang out the window for gentle
man friend to pull in order that she might
not miss her music lessons The rector of
the church, il is further stated, hearing of
the arrangement, refused the couple the sac
rament And this reminds us of Il little
story. Once upon a time a young lady who
desired to get up with the lark in order 10
go on an eloping tour, adopted the English
girls plan and the lover was to be on hand
at daybreak to give the signal. The string
used for the pedal communication was a
stout cord, and one end was dropped out of
the third story window into the back yard,
and the other end, of course, was attached
to the damsel's great toe. And the legend
runs that healthy goat of the William per
suasion arose early next morning to look for
the early worm, as it were, and wandered
into the yard. After eating up all the old
tomato cans, barrel slaves, and broken crock
cry ware, he found the string and took that
in as a dessert. AS soon as the cord was
drawn taut, the goat stood on his hind legs
and gave the string an impulsive jerk.
The girl awoke. The goat gave another
sudden pull, and the maiden jumped out of
bed with a smothered cry Of pain. Then
she stopped down to detach the cord just as
the ridiculous beast gave another violent
jerk, and she lost her equilibrium-and her
toe, too, almost, the cord cutting into the
tender flesh She sprang to the window
and called down in hoarse whisper
''Stop pulling Charles-I'll be down in
a minute"
Then she made another effort to unite the
cord, but the diaboical goat gave his head
several angry bobs, and each time the girl
gave a cry of pain. Again she softly called
out in the darkness:
"Charles, if you don't stop jerking that
way, I'll not come down at all ~
She was answered by another savage pull,
and the cry of anguish that escaped from
her lips brought her mother into the room,
with look of alright, and lighted lamp.
The young lady tainted, the elopement
was nipped in the bud, and the disappointed
maiden's big toe was sore for two weeks
The goat escaped.

Easy to Make Sermons.

The following incident is related of the
venerable and eminent Dr. Nesbit, formerly
President of Dickenson College, Carlisle:
at amazes me that ministers don't write
better sermons am sick Of the dull, pro.
sy affairs, said a lady in the presence Of
DIR. Nesbit.
"But ii is no easy matter, my good wo.
man, to write good sermons, suggested
the Doctor.

so long about it. could write one in hall

"Oh, if t5xt is all you want, said DR..
N9sbit, 81 will furnish that. Take this one
from Solomon; 1T is better to dwell in d
corner of house top, than in a wide house
with a brawling woman "
'Do you mean me, sirlo inquired the
lady quickly.
"Oh, my good woman, was the response;
'you will never make a sermonizer; you
are too soon in your applications. y

An OhstInate nrchestra.

AT the opera at Paris recently, while re-
hearsing a new ballet the ORCHESTRA played
an air in quite another movement than the
composer had set down. He promptly
rose and said to the leader
'IIold onl hold on! That isn't as wrote
and intended it. Please begin again"
"Ihe orchestra of the opera never begins
again, " sublimely answered the leader.
Twas ever thus. Only one man was
ever known to get the better of the orches-
ira of the opera, and he was Marshall Vail
liant, Minister of Fine Arts under the En-
pire.
Once upon time that refractory body
had petitioned for an increase of pay, and
deeming that the authorities had been too
slow in replying to its memorandum, it al
lowed "The Houguenots" to be performed
without any accompaniment.
Early next morning the delegation rep
resenting the orchestra were invited TO call
on the minister. This looked like a surren-
der, and they entered his Office in triumph.
The Marshall wore an aspect Of timid and
chastened politeness as he desired them to
be seated, and began;
Gentlemen, l have first of all to inform
you that his Imperial Majesty was gracious
ly pleased yesterday to sign the decree in
creasing your salaries to the figures de-
manded.
The delegates hugged themselves in rap
ture and exchanged looks Of triumph. The
Marshall went on;
81, however, as you will perceive, take
upon myself the responsibility of tearing
the decree in pieces and deposting it in the
waste basket And let me add that if to-
morrow night there is any trouble | will
have you driven out by the police, if the
building has to be closed till the day of
judgment You may retire.
They did and the Marshall never had
any further trouble

"I'll Keep 'em Awake"

Near DunGries, Scotland, lived a pious
family who had adopted an orphan vho
was regarded as half-witted, lie had i'm
bibed strict views on religious matters, how
ever, and once asked his adopted mother if
she did not think it wrong for the people
to come to church and fall asleep, paying
no better regard to the service. She replied
she did Accordingly, before going to
church the next Sunday, he filled his
pockets with apples. One bald-headed old
man, who invariably went to sleep during
the sermon, particularly attracted his atten-
ton Seeing him at last noddng and Civ
ing nasal evidence of being in the Gland of
dreams" he struck the astounded sleeper a
blow with an apple on the top Of his bald
pate. The minister and aroused congrega-
tion at once turned round and gazed indig-
nantly at the boy who merely said to the
preacher as he took another apple in his
hand with SOBER honest expression of
countenance "You preach I'll keep 'em
awake.

wild Goose shooting.

All along the Susquehanna, Schuylkill
and the minor streams in Pennsylvania
the myriads of wild geese, that journey
northward and southwark when cold wealth
er comes, are found in abundance. To
bring down the swift-moying flock, and to
entice them within shooting range after
they have struck the water, requires skill
and practice The experienced hunter Sc
lects a pond where wild geese have been
known to stop either for rest, fresh water,
or sand, for they must have all these, but
can do without either for long time. Then
he selects a cove or small bay, backed by
boggy swamps, and with a point of land
iutting into the pond, so as to allow clear
range, right left and in front, Six rods
back from the end of the point should be
built the blind This is constructed by
building an entire framework Of boards.
These should be covered on the surface to-
ward the water with whatever variety Of
evergreen boughs the woods in the vicinity
may furnish. The structure resembles n
natural growth of bushes along the margin
of the lake, AT the bottom of the stand
small openings are left through which the
lines attached to the decoys are manipulat-
ed. A rod to the rear of the blind is the
hut of the hunters, in which they may live
comfortably through the flying season,
which lasts from the beginning of frost un-
Til ice begins to form. About two dozen or
more wooden dummies are scattered about
in flocks over the cove. They look like
living fowls at distance, as can be testi-
fed by more than one marksman, who, af-
ter careful padding to windward, has
emptied the contents of his breech-loader
into their white pine carcasses. Wild

Wheels,

The pedometer consists of four tough,
light wooden wheels, supplied with an outer
rim of tough india rubber These wheels
are secured to a frame the shape of the foot,
which is strapped to the pedal extremities
in the usual manner. Unlike roller skates
these little vehicles are not under, but are
placed on each side of the foot, thus giving
the wearer good standing, as well as a
solid footing The rear wheels are three
inches in diameter, while those in front are
but two and half inches This gives the
foot a slight incline, and when in motion
has much to do in impelling the pedestrian
forward. Extending from the toe, with a
slight curve toward the ground, is a piece Of
casting termed the pusher, which is simply
used in mounting an elevation or steep in
cline. From the centre of the heel a small
brass wheel extends backward, serving as a
guide, as well as brake. The whole scarce
ly turns the scale at a pound weight. In
using them no more effort is required than
in ordinary walking. The wearer steps
with his' regular stride, and is amazed to
find himself skimming over the ground SO
rapidly with so little muscular effort. Mr.,
Hobbs explains the mystery of the rapid
movement in. this manner A man whose
stride is thirty-two inches will traverse for
ty-eight inches, or one-half farther, with
the pedometer This is because the body
is in constant motion. For instance, says
he, the traveller starts, and, while he raises
one foot to step, he continues rapidly on
ward until that foot is set down and the
other raised to make another step. This
gives him more momentum, and away he
goes over two miles in the same time that
il would take him to accomplish mile with
the feet. No effort of the body is required
for their use as in skates The traveller
imply plants one foot before the other, and
finds himself whizzed along al a lively rate.
