about to go out the Fishing
Bank with fisherman, propos-
ed, before they started, ''to take

"No," said the fisherman; 81
don't drink"
'Don't you drink anything?"
"No, / don't drink anything"
"Why not?"
because / am a christian. "
"What!' said the man, "does
Christ keep you from drinkingY
The fisherman, at first, con-
fused by the novelty of the ques-
ton, hesitated a moment, then
answered: s'Yes, Christ keeps
me from drinking"
The poorinebriate was struck
by the reply. He thought:
"Thcre is help that ! didn't
think of" Ee went home and
into his room, and knelt down
and said: 30 Lord Jesus Christ
keep me from drinking" His
appetite for liquor suddenly left

A Mysterious Spring.

In Lincoln county, Nevada,
there is a spring Of ice-cold wa
ter that bubbles up over a rock
and disappears on the other side,
and no one has been able to find
where the water goes. At an
other point in the same county
is a large spring, about twenty
feet square, that is apparently
only eighteen inches deep, with
a sandy bottom. The sand can
be plainly seen, but on looking
closer it is perceived that the
sand is in a perpetual state of
unrest, and no bottom has ever
been found. 1t is said that a
teamster, on reaching this spring
one day concluded to soak one
of his wagon wheels to cure the
looseness of its tire. He took
it off and rolled it into the, as he
thought, shallow water. He
never laid his eyes on that wag-
on wheel again.

Wouldn't Marry in Haste.

In one of Michigan's interior
towns live a couple known as
the "Siamese Twins" They are
always together. No one in the
village ever remembers seeing
one unaccompanied by the other.
They go to church together, they
split wood together, they walk
together and they fight together.
Not long ago, after severe bat
tie, gentleman said to the fem
inine twin:
"Sarah Jane, why do you
pummel your unprotected hus-
band so? Think how bad you
should feel if he should die. I"
"Oh," said Sarah Jane in a
tone that showed the matter was
settled in her mind, "we will die
together. We made thatarrange-
ment when we were married.
You see John Henry was mar
ried before, and seven days after
his first wife died, he came to me
and asked me to marry him.
John Henry said l you ought
to be ashamed of yourself. On

funeral, and I'll marry YOU

Eureka.
[St. Louis Times.l

Eureka Springs, down in Ar
kansas, will soon become the
most famous and best watering
place OH the continent, if it
keeps OH as it has begun. Not
many days ago a stage load of
passengers on a pilgrimage to
its healing fountain was besct
by highwaymen and the passen-
gers were relieved Of their spare
cash and other portable articles
of great yalue, at the muzzle of
the revolver. The passengers
on that stage coach will talk a.
bout Eureka Springs as long as
they live. About the time That
these highwaymen were going
through that stage coach certain
muscular knights of the spade
and pickax were digging a well
at Eureka. If they ever struck
water the fact has not been re-
corded. Before delving very
deep into the earth they dug up
a baby, and all Eureka at once
became indifferent as TO whcth-
er there was water in the line of
that well or not. Tac baby was
petrified as hard as adamant; it
had been bnried at least |, ,0O0,-
600, ,000,000,O00 years before the
flood and had completely forgot
ten how to squall. 1t is very
wonderful baby, and Eureka is
more delighted with it than any
mother ever was with her first
born. If anybody wants to sec
the baby that is going to revo-
lutionize geology and prove that
babies existed before Adam, that
person had better pack histrunk,
arm himself against highway
men, and set out for Eureka.

Got a Corner.

! On a train over the Erie road,
a farmer-looking man walked
the length Of car without find
ing an empty scat, and he slow
ly returned to one occupied by
a lone man, who at once spread
himself out as much as possible,
and suddenly became deeply in
terested in his newspaper. The
farmer halted beside the seat, but
the other made no movement.
Even after a full minute had
passed there was no sign that
he meant to share his quarters
with the other. Then the farm
er touched his arm and said:
"If you hang on long enough
you'll make Il fortune"
"What's-what's that, sir?"
demanded the other, as he look
ed up.
"It's a big thing hang on to
it," whispered the farmer.
"What is it? What do you
mean, sir?"
II tumble, but l won't give it
away!" chuckle'l the farmer.
"What do you mean, sir?"
II mean that you've got the
biggest corner OH the hog mar
kct ever known in this country,
and if you don't make Il million
dollars out of it I'll eat goldfish |
Tor year."
Half of that seat was sudden
ly vacated, but the farmer Spre-
ferrcd to stand up and brace a.

How Butter is Made Heavy.

Oleolnargarine has hardly
come to supply the place OF but
ter, before something is thought
of to adulterate oleomargarine.
The adulteration takes the shape
of soapstone powder, WHICH is
now ased to some extent by the
"honest" butter packers. This
powdered soapstone is white
and fine and tasteless, and il.
sold as low as twenty dollars a
ton.
From six to eight pounds of
this powdered soapstone can be
thoroughly mixed in every tub
of butter so as to defy detection.
1t grcotiy increases the weight
without affecting the bulk very
much. This powder is said 20
be manufactured in large guam
titles in Cincinnati Cor Iegiti-
mate purposes, but a great deal
of it is quietly sold directly to
some dairy men and farmers, so
that the adultcIation is going on
in the churning-room.
The buyer who first discover
cd this adultcration process says
of ii: "a
81 was shown into all adulter-
ation-room by a butter-packer.
Three dishes were set before me,
containing respectively pure
butter, powdered soapstone, and
the butter adulterated with soap
stone. j first tested the pure
butter; it was of very good
quait Inext tasted the pow
tlered soapstone; it is practical
ly tasteless. i then took a bit
OF the adulteratcd butter in my
mouth, but could distinguish no
difference between it and the
pure article. / was then asked
to purchase a quantity OF the a.
dulterated article, but declined
to do So"
BY this process the packers
obtain the market price OF but
ter on the soapstone article,
which costs them but one cent a
pound to adulterate. The con-
sumer is paying for and eats a.
bout one-seventh of a pound OF
soapstone in every pound OF
butter.

REMEMBRANCE.
A baby form of gentlest grace

A baby form of gentlest grace
Tonight | held upon my knee;
A smiling little cherub face
watched in all IFS infant glee.
The baby eyes were blue and bright,
The baby face was passing fair,
And on the baby brow so white
Were tiny rings of clustering hair.
But while | watched its merry play
So innocent and sweet to see
The memory of long gone day
Rolled with its sadness over me.
For when saw the baby's eyes.
And heard IFS voice so sweet and low,
A form before my gaze would rise
A form | loved long years ago.
For had loved fair young girl
Whose eyes were blue and bright as
this,
And on whose brow the clustering curl
Tempted, as now, my ardent kiss.
The same blue eyes the same brown hair,
The same high brow Of noble mien,
Was in the baby smiling there
Which in my loved one had seen.
/ Ipondered on the baby's face,
The dear expression which it wore,
The same which marked, in statelier
grace,
Its mother in the days of yore.
The baby played upon my knee
ITS mother looked and sweetly smiled;
She must have known, it seemed to me,
Why so fondly Kiss her child.
