m7nt is apparently decreasing at the
rate Of about 100000 a year, and
that the deficit of 1S77-S and 1883

L., an army doctor, noted for his
voracious appetite, was quartered in
Kingston, Jamaica, and there got yellow

SDociSc PRAYERS.

A pretty good text for practical SER
mon is found in the anecdote concerning
rural rector in England who, upon be-
ing entreated by his parishioners to
supplicate fine weather, stepped medita-
lively to the barometer, tapped it, and
said: Gentlemen, I think we had bet
ter wait till the glass rises little" Far
different was the simple earnestness of
the Orkney minister who, being asked to
pray for better weather, went into the
task heartily as follows: "Lord, send
us Draw weather, and bit sough of
breeze that will dree the stran' and win
ma harm the heads; but if we blow us
tearin' irwin bletherin' gale, like what
we've been ha'ing, yell play the very
mischief with the ats, and fairly spoil
a." And this recalls the story of the
Puritan parson, in Eliot's History of
New Englsnd.' He, too, prayed for
rain, but, believing that it would be
better to be specific, and that one might
as well describe precisely what he want
ed, he advised the Lord thai the at
tendant worshipers did not want 8
" tearing, drowning rain," but they
would keenly appreciate a gentle driz-
that might last about a
week -

Put His Foot in It.

Recently a heavy fall and great
racket was heard in the livery stables of
G. w. Zecher. Mr.. Zecher and some of
of his men ran to see what was the mat
ter, and were not a little asst 1nished to
find one of the horses belonging to the
Adams express company lying down
with one of its hind feet wedged in it's
mouth. 1t required the united strength
of several men, using levers, to Dry the
horses mouth open wide enough to get
the foot out, and before they succeeded
in doing it two of the horses teeth were
knocked out. The poor brute would
have strangled to death had he not been
promptly relieved; and it was nearly
half an hour before he could rise to his
feet. 1t is supposed that the horse
threw his foot forward in striking at the
flies, and at the same time threw his
head backward, biting at them, thus
opening his mouth and putting his
foot in it." The entire hoof was in the
horses mouth, the teeth being sunk into
the mesh above the hoof, almost, if not
to the bone.-Lancoster Po.,

a Skippery Town.

Sz.ered, small town in upper Hun
gary, is to be added to the list of places
beautiful in situation in so far as people
desirous of lodging the minions of the
law are concerned. Half of it lies in
Pressburg and half in Neutra, so that
when the bailifs pursue an inhabitant he
alertly skips over the gutter with a
defiant ira, la. la!" into another iuris-
diction. The baffled pursuers then
have, with many formalities, to hand
over the papers to the authorities of the
other country, whose constables the
debtor proceeds with equal promptness
and facility to outrun, any irregularities
in extradition being guarded against by
the existence of hereditary jealousies be-
tween the two countries. A somewhat
similar condition of things was recently
recorded at Montreal in the case of a
saloon-keeper who built his place of
business with one door in the city and
the bar just across the line and out of
the metropolitan Jurisdiction, thus saw
ing the important difference between
city and suburban license rates. To
such base uses can typographical
education be misapplied!

The Brutality of Sports.

The brutality to which pedestrianism
has sunk was illustrated by the 75-hour
race in Boston. Toward the close OF
the third day, three of the contestants
were SO close together that the struggle
for the lead became desperate. Croft, a
young man from Little Falls, n. Y, be-
came temporarily crazy rom the fatigue
and want of sleep, and quilted the track
but his trainers forced him to return,
and he eventually won by completing
271 miles on course so small that 19
circuits were required for a mile.
Campana, the old man whose feats in
Gilmore's garden were awkward and
ridiculous, also fell into condition of
mental arrangement, and frequently
stopped to talk incoherently with the
spectators; but he was forced to con-
tinue though he sank On the track ex-
hausted, and at the last moment re-
linquished the second place to Hichborn,

inch cylinders, on an adjoining track:

they? l wonder what one of them
weighs7" Second young lady: "Well,
I should think that one must weigh
nearly a ton; it looks pretty large"
Young man, with superior knowledge:
ooh, more than that. You see there's
the boiler, that's al cast-iron, you know,
and that's heavy; then there's those
round things in front, the-the cylinders
they call them, they're solid brass; and
then there's the wheels, all steel, you

Whose shores with many a shining riff
tar-oti their pearl-white peaks unfit.
Through all the long midsummer day
Inc meadow sides are sweet with hay,

Ana ana Irlngy roots and pebbles fret

watch the mowers as they 90
through the tall grass, white-sleeved row:
With even stroke their scythes they swing
In tune their merry whetstones ring.
Behind the nimble youngsters run,
And toss the thick swaths in the sun.
The cattle Craze; while warm and still
slopes the broad pasture, basks the hill,
And bright when summer breezes break
The green wheat crinkles like lake.
The butterfly and bumble-bee,
Come to the pleasant woods with me;
Quickly before me runs the quail,
Her chickens skulk behind the rail-
High up the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And the woodpecker pecks and fits
sweet woodland music sinks and sweIls,
The brooklet rings its tinkIing bells.
The swarming insects drone and hum.
The partridge beats his throbbing drum,
The squirrel leaps among the boughs,
And chatters in his leafy house;
The oriole flashes by; and look
Into the mirror of the brook,
Where the vain bluebird trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float.
As silently. as tenderly,
The down of peace descends on me.
o, this is peacel have no need
OF friend TO talk, or book to read;
A dear Companion here abides,
Close to my thrilling heart He hides;
