SILENT FORCES. - Workmen in the
stone quarres sometimes find very
hard kind of rock. They pick little
grooves for the iron wedges, and then,
with great sledge hammers, drive the
wedges into the finty rock. And yet,
once in while, they fail to divide the
solid mass. The iron wedges and the
sledges prove useless, and the workmen
wonder at the stubborn rock.
But there is yet another way. The
iron wedges are removed from the mar
row grooves. Then little wooden wedges,
OF very hard FIBER, are selected. Now
you begin to shake your heads and think
4" Well, if iron wedges will not do, how
is it possible for wooden wedges to be
used successfully ?" Just wait, until we
explain. The sharp, well-made wooden
wedges are put into water. They are
then put in the grooves, tightly while
wet, and water is kept in the grooves,
and no sledge is needed to drive them. -
They would break under the severe
blows of the pondereus hammer. But
the workmen just leave the wet wedges
alone. They will do what the driven
iron failed to do. How so ? The damp
wood swells. The particles must have
room to enlarge. And the granite heart
cf tie rock cannot withstand this silent
influence. In little while this solid
rock parts from top 10 bottom, and the
workman's will is accomplished.
1t is so, often, in other things. What
noise and visible effort fail to do, some
quiet power, when applied, will surely
achieve. Teachers may remember this
fact in mechanics, and manage some
very stubborn natures by the application
of silent forces. The iron and the sledge
hammers often fail. But tears, prayer
and patient example never fail.-ALer-
dnder Clark.

THE "HEY?" FEVER. Up Woodward
avenue piece is one of those men who,
even if he understands perfectly we'll an
enquiry addressed to him, invariably re-
plies "Hey?" ami the enquiry must be
submitted again. The world has tens OF
thousands of these "heys?" but until the
other day this Detroiter WAS the worst of
all. Along came stranger the other
evening who might and might not have
known ofths mans eccentricity. Enter
ing the store he remarked:
II want four pounds of sugar?"
"Hey?" replied the other.
81 said l wanted sausage>s tufferp''
continued the man.
"What-hey?'
Il asked if you had pickles in vinegar,
coolly remarked the stranger.
"Hey?"
q want-a-g -gallon-of-turpentine," )"
suddenly exclaimed the citizen.
81 didn't suppose yor did,"
"Hey?'
IL said I'd take some iiverpills in place
Of it,"
No doubt the dealer had heard every
single word Of the entire conversation
and he didn't like it very well either, but
habit prevailed and again he called out:
Hey !"
~
ger, I've asked you a dozen times over
if you had any good, eight cent calico?''
mo, sir-no, sir-no, sir !" was the in
dgnant answer.
"lIey !" called the stranger, his hand
to his ear.
The citizen looked around for the four
pound weight, but when he found it there
was nothing to throw at.-Free Press.

HASKELL ON HIS TRAvELs.-Every.
body on this Coast remembers the Rev. ;
Haskell, ex.circus clown, ex~temperance
fraud, ex-book canvasser, ex pretty near
ly everything else, who figured here a
few years ago in many devious ways. We
had lost sight of Brother Haskell, and
sincerely hoped that he might have been
gathered to his fathers, but it seems, like
many other frauds, he thrives and WAKES
fatter and fatter. At last accounts he
was conducting Methodist rev vival in
Amboy, Ill. An excited sister tainted
in one Of his meetings, and he said:
"Stand away, brethren.and sisters, and
let the angels come in and fan her. l
feel as il a quarter section of heaven had
cayed in and all the stars were tumbling
down on me. You Christians arc like
young pigs. / have To pull your ears of
to get you up to the Gospel trough, and
after you get taste of the glories, nearly
pull your tails off to get you away"

Moscow The Russians love Moscow.
1t is the idol of every Russian heart. Her
shrines are to him tho holiest in tho EN-.
pie, hallowed by seven centuries Of his
torical associations, But grand and holy
as it is, it has suffered from the sword,
ibe torch and the plague. Three hun
dred years ago 1t was nearly consumed
by fire, in which 1000 of its citizens per,
ished. Fifty years later the tartars fred
the suburbs, and 100, 900 of its inhabitants
perished by the flames and by the sword.
A hundred years ago the fatal plague SO
reduced its population that it never re-
gained its former proportions. Within
our own century, and to save, it from
plunder by the foe, the people gave up
their beautiful city TO the flames, the
grandest sacrifice ever made to national
pride. But when the French retreated,
the city was rebuilt, and is to-day thing
of beauty. Its too frequent reconstruc-
ton is the cause OF the irregularity every
where apparent. Only a few Of the streets
are straight, palace and "A hovel, state
building and a stone, splendid church
and a small hotel adjoin each other, and
the rich and poor are neares. neighbors.
Nothing is mere noticeable and attractive
than the display OF colors, red, white,
green, gold and silver, With which the
public and private buildings are orna-
mented. Rome has long been celebrated
as the city of churches, having one for
each day in the year and an additional
one for leap year, but Moscow can boast
ofnearly 400 temples dedi dicated to religion.
Although the decentralization of the city
is more than twenty English miles, yet
the objects Of interest TO traveller are
within narrow limits. The Moskva flows
through the city, spanned by noble bridgs
es, and along its banks are beautiful lawns
shaded by noble trees.

the ditch IN awful mass. Some of the
coaches considerably smashed, and some
Of the people badly bruised, but no one
was killed, and of course our train escaped
entirely. Satan must have cared for big
Tom, the other engineer. He did get
bruise, but was up and across the fields
like deer, screaming and shrieking like
a mad tiger. It took five men to bind him
after he was run down, and to- day he is
the worst unatic in the state.
"Tom was II good fellow, continued the
engineer, after a pause, land he used to
take his glass pretty regularly. l never
saw him drunk, but liquor kept working
away on his nerves till at last the tremens
caught him when he had hundred and
fifty lives behind the engine. He broke
out all of sudden. The fireman was
thrown off the engine, all the steam turned
on, and then Tom danced and screamed, f,
and carried on like fend. He'd have
made awful work, sir, but for God Is mercy
I'm trembling yet of the way he came
down for US, and III never think oft with
out my heart jumping for my throat. No
body asked me to sign the pledge, but
wanted my name there. One such night
on the road has turned me against intoxi-
eating drinks, and now that I've got this
red ribbon on can talk to the boys with
better face. Tom is raving as l said, and
the doctors say he'll never get his reason
again. Good night, sir, my train goes in
ten minutes.

THERE were score or more Of women
gathered together at Mr.. Johnson house.
Mr.. johnson is good -hearted man, and
a respected citizen, though he Is rather
skeptical in some things. The women
had just organized "The Foreign Benevo
lent Society" when Mr.. johnson entered
the room. He was at once appealed to
donate a few dollars as foundation to
work on, and then Mrs. Graham added;
"It would be SO pleasant in after years
for you to remember that you gave this
society its first dollar and its first kind
word"
He slowly opened his wallet, drew out
$40 bill, and, as the ladies smacked their
lips and clapped their hands, he asked;
"Is this society organized to aid the
poor Of foreign countrles?"
Yes-yes-yes ~ they cherused,
"And it wants money!"
"Yes-yes."
"Well, now," said johnson, as he
folded the bill in a tempting shape,
'there are twenty married women here.
If there are fifteen of you who can make
oath that you have combeG the children's
hair this morning, washed the dishes,
blackened the cook stove, and made the
beds, I'll donate the ten dollars
II have, "answered two of the crowd,
and the rest said;
"Why, now, Mr.. johnson !"
"If fifteen of you can make oath that
your husbands are not wearing socks with
holes in the heels, the money is yours !"
continued the wretch.
"Just hear him |" they exclaimed, each
one looking at the other.
"If ten of you have boys without holes
in the knees of their pants, this X goes to
the society,"" said johnson.
"Such man !" they VIII ispered.
"If there are five pairs of stockings in
this room that do not need darning, III
hand over the money!" he went on.
"Mr. Johnson," said Mrs. Graham,
with great dignity, "the rules Of this So
ciety declare that no money shall be con-
tributed except by mem bers, and, as you
are not member, beg that you with
draw and let as proceed with the routine

UNCLE EPHS SURGERY.

Away down in Georgia there once liv-
ed and fourished an old colered man
who had for gsod many years performs
ed among his neighbors tho duties of
physician, and who almost existed upon
the glory of the distinction arising there
from. He gathered his herbs in the
veloped in an air of mystery, which was
no less awful to the ''uneddicated" ne
groes, than it was salts factory to Uncle
Eph. To be addressed as doctor" by a
colored man would bring forth only a
corresponding bow or patronizing word,
but to be thus addressed by one of the
"Massas." would cause Uncle Eph's eyes
70 spar kle with satisfaction, his face to
asume an expression of dignity, and his
decrepit back to straighten as by magic
touch
But Uncle Eph had never had a call to
perform surgical operation, and when
his master was brought home one day
with shattered leg, having sustained a
fall from his runaway horse, Uncle Eph,
though filed almost to bursting with the
importance of his official functions, was
almost at lost what to do. His stock
of picra, lobelia, Johnswort, spearmint
and Other herbs and roots was worthless
in this case. A messenger had been dis
patched for the nearest regular" surgeon
twelve miles away-but something must
be done. Uncle Eph was summoned and
was found quite equal to the emergency.
bring mo some alum" roared Uncle
Eph; the article was brought ard stiff
horn Of alum water was forced down the
throa. of the patient. ooh oh ! my
stomach !" ohrieked the distracted vic
tim, "what the devil is that Can't any
of you idiots do anything for mani"
bring on the alum water !" command,
ed tine thoroughly excited medical man,
and down went another half pint.
Bring me some borax," thundered
Uncle Eph. Ii was brought, and the
dusky disciple of Esculapius compounded
q strong lotion, and with the aid of cou
pie of "house men," anxious to share the
honors, it was applied externally to the
injury.
The patient was now unconscious, but
alternate mugs of alum water and borax
lotion were administered and applied with
vigor, and when the surgeon arrived,
Uncle Eph was on his knees on the bed
with a tin funnel and bowl of his mixture
preparing to admin ister another dose.
Taking in the situation at glance, the
physician demanded of Uncle Eph:
"What have you given him?"
"Give some alum water sah, and put
salvation on de cuts ide, sab. What
dive s'pose, sah?'
"Borax and alum water? Why, man,
you'll kill him What in the name Of
heaven have you given him borax and
alum water for? you old black ignoramds,
demanded the doctor.
"Look a here, now, you Doctor Smith,
don't ye cali no names now | knows
what Use doin'. As perfes sional, now,
sab, | glib him the alum water to bring
the parts together, an | put on the borax
to make 'em stick, sab ! Take me for a
fool sab? OATS what dey use in dc
blacksmith shops for TO make the iron
come together and stick. OATS what |
use de alum an borax for, sah."

ANOTHER outspoken Southern editor
has been heard from. The Jackson Miss }
Clarion, in recent issue, says: "If by
cones are to be by cones. let them be so
in fact as well as in pretention; but this
system Of pensioning the soldiers who
fought on the winning side of the war at
the expense of the side that lost, is not
only disagreeable reminder ofby- cones
but most unfair and iniquitous proceed
ing" Union soldiers are also given to
understand that while the South controls
Congress they may expect no more PEN
sions and no more extra pay. In fact 10y
atty is out out Of date; treason is now the
the arbiter Of the nations destinies. 49,

A PREACHERS TROUBLE.
The Awkward Position I'm which
He Was Placed by A Trifie.

He had recently bought new necktie
and donned it for the first time on Sun
day morning. 1t was one of the small
black ties, with vil.ainous rubber loop.
During the singing of the first hymn pre-
ceding the sermon it fell into the preach
er's lap. In vain he tried to get it back.
The button lodged the loop, and the rub
Der snapped at the button. The preach
er's fingers trembled with nervousness
the last strains of the organ faded away,
the audience sat down prepared for the
customary Sunday nap.
To say that the preacher was nervous
gives but faint idea of the situation.-
In vain he tried to screen himself behind
the narrow desk ; red and redder grew
his face, his fingers were dancing all over
his neck and throat trying in vain to
lasso the elusive button with the elastic
moose. The small boys snicker reached
his ears like the crack of doom the head
of the singers began to peer over the
choir rail to see the cause OF the delay,
while the preachers face glowed like
scarlet and his fingers searched with
tremulous uncertainty for the evasive
and treacherous button. The audience
seemed to swell before him into multi~
tude great sea of eyes watch his con-
fusion the first patterings of the great
storm Of laughter, that was surely com,
ing, began to fall upon his ear the rub
Der snapped in mockery, the gold button
still led the loop ir vain chase ; more
and more the trembling fingers inter~
twined themselves IN laundering clumsi-
ness the contortions of the face became
more marked the scarlet hues deepened
into the hot glare of conAagration ex
istence became burden, and tho preach.
er's chair greater instrument of torture
than the rack of an inquisitor.
At last the crisis came. Rising up,
holding the crumpled but triumphant
tie in his hand, the preacher asked to be
excused, retired to his private room,
where before the glass in single mos
ment the deranged toilet was adjusted.
lie returned to his pulpit wiser man.
He will buy his ties earlier in the week,
and will go on dress parade before com
peient official before venturing on tho
platform. His experience may lead that
parish to the appointment OF dignitary
who shall examine the ministers as the
heel-rappers do the cars at the stations
to see if they can go in safety. One more
experience would result either In flight or
apoplexy.-C CHRISTIAN Leader.
