tify i'll the case.
They came, greatly puzzled and sur
priSed. The case was gravely stated
by the senior elder. when the culprit
and witness burst into Il laugh. Check
ing themselves, when they saw how Sc
riouS and sad the session looked, they
explained.
The minister's wife. though an excel
lent woman who loved everybody, and
especially her husband, did not love
rats. But the house having been va
cant for some time, the rats had taken
pos. nSSion. When they went to their
chamber, a huge rodent ran under the
bed. The wife screamed. The hus-
band caught up stick and missed the
rat {; the lady screamed again. How
could she help ite 1t was an exciting
scene, and must have looked very fun
ny to their neighbors who were watch
ing through the curtained window.
They laughed heartily when it was all
over, and the rat was dead; and they
could not help laughing whenever they
thought about it.
The session were in fix. They
were down on Mrs. 5. for making fools
of them. They asked her, "Why didn't
you go over to the minister's and make
sure about the matter before you re
ported il p And she retorted, "Why
didn't you go and inquire into it before
you called Il meeting ?''-The Occident.

An Empress On Love.

Some years ago the late empress of
Russia, while inspecting IL girls school
in that country, asked one of the pupils.
"What is love p Blushing deeply. and
much embarrassed the girl made no re-
ply. Her teacher stepped forward, and
bowing low to the empress, informed
her that ''in my school no instruction
is impaired to the pupils on this par
ticular subject, and i'll all probability
the girl does not even understand the
meaning of the word your majesty has
deigned to pronounce ''That is much
to be regretted replied the empress
''fOr wOman's life is naught but love
first of all love for her parents then
love for her husband, and lastly love
for her children. If these girls have
acquired no just comprehension of love,
they have been very badly prepared
for the duties of lifen Having thus
expressed herself, the empress left the
school in manifest displeasure, and i
few days later the teacher was dis

ucatiOn and public worship.

agent. working his sausage machine.
She laid down IA silver quarter. Being
well acquainted and practical joker,
the agent drew from his pocket gilt
tcring trowScrs button, passed it over
with the ticket and ScoOped up the
quarter.
''I> this a legal tender ?" asked the
lady quietly.
..Oh. yes" he answered with mock
gravity. They are the mainstay of
the republic"
She pockctcd it and got aboard,
leaving the agents face coruscating
with smiles.
A few days after he told it to a bri-
gadc of runners buying tickets for

encore the lady appeared with

at the runners. He laid down the tick

bowed from the presence of more than

Still in Favor Of It.

The account of the Iowa girl who is
said to have been hugged to death by
her lover has caused quite "A sensa-

dashed open the little door, and pushed
MOllie inside, passing in myself, and
drew the door close again, shutting out
the eager flames whose angry roar pur-
sued lis as we dropped gently down into
the shallow water and crept beneath
the wheel.
Our appearance was hailed with IL
shout of delight and relief. for all had
given us up for lost, and we must have
been but for the heaven-inspired
thought of the wheel-house.
Now that the danger was over. poor
little MOllie tainted. and no wonder.
But she soon came out all right and
as the people began to find out that the
''brave little girl" as they called her,
was really bride of only few hours,
and that we were on our wedding trip,
there was Il regular ovation, followed
up by nine deafening cheers. The isl
and upon which the M0bilia had been
beached was low, sandy and uninhab-
tied, altogether not an inviting place
for 300 people without II shelter to pass
half day upon, yet even i'll this plight
| there were few grumblers in our midst.
There was no room i'll our hearts for
any feeling but that of thankfulness
for our preservation from fearful
death, and after the peril of the last
hour or two it seemed small matter
to wait patiently for the coming of the
relief boats that we knew were sure to
arrive before many hours went past.
Though some miles from any large
city, we knew that the burning steam
er must have been seen from the farm
houses scattered along the river bank,
and that from these, notices of the dis
aster would be sent to the nearest
town. And so it was. Before night
fall several small steamboats, arrived,
and after that but IL few hours elapsed
before we found ourselves safely at
home and our adventurous wedding
trip at an end. But the results were
not ended by any means. The terrible
nervous strain had endured, combined
with the severe burns on my face and
hands, threw me prOstratc on bed of
| sickness.
When | was able to report for duty
again, two weeks later, | learned that
IA noble gift from the Mobilia's grateful
passengers rs-nO less Il sum than S2,000-
lay in the bank awaiting my order.
Not only this, but the steamboat com
pany had voted me Il gold medal and
the appointment of pilot of the finest
steamer on the line.
Years have passed by Stree my brave
wife and had so nearly .journeyed ont
of the world on our wedding trip.
From pilot | have come to he captain

TaIe-Bearing.

Never repeat story, unless you are
certain it is correct, and even not then
unless something is to he gained, either
of interest to yourself, or for the good
of the person concerned. Tattling is n
mean and wicked practice, and he who
indulges in it grows more fond of it in
proportion as he is successful. If you
have no good to say of your neighbor,
never reprOach his character by telling
that which is false. He who tells you
the faults of others intends to tell 9th
ers of your faults, and so the dish of
news is handed from one to another,
until the tale becomes enormous. "a
story never loses anything" is wisely
remarked but on the contrary gains
i'll proportion as it is repeated by those
who have not II very strict regard for
truth. Truly, ''the tongue is an unru-
ly evil, full of deadly poison"

HeaItIfuIneSS Of Milk.

If any one wishes to grow fleshy, Il
pint of milk taken on retiring at night
will soon cover the scrawniest bones.
Although we see good many fleshy
persons nowadays, there are great
many lean and lank ones, who sigh for
the fashionable measure of plumpness
and who would he vastly improved in
health and appearance could their fig
ures he rounded with good solid flesh
Nothing is more coveted by thin wo-
man than a full figure, and nothing will
so raise the ire and provoke the scan
dial of the "'clipper-build" as the con
sciOusness of plumpness in rival. In
case of fever and summer complaint
milk is now given with excellent re-
suits. The idea that milk is feverisI
has exploded, and it is now the physi
clans great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too low 4;
state to be nOurished by solid food. L
is a mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher

A Minister Beating His Wife.

The story was all over town. Every
body was talking about it. 1t was too
bad, they said. What was too bad !
Why, the new minister had been beat
ing his wife, Was it possible? Yes,
there could be no doubt about it. Mrs.
s., who lives next door, heard shrek
about ten o'clock last night-a wOmanS
shriek-frOm il chamber in the parsOn-
age. She looked across, and through
the curtain she could see that man and
woman were running about the room
in great excitement. He was flourish
ing stick and striking with it. The
blows could be plainly heard. And as
he struck, she screamed.
Mrs. S. could hardly sleep that night
she was so excited by what she had
seen. She was up early next morning
She hurried through her breakfast, and
then started QUITO see the poor abus-
ed minister's wife and comfort her
Not hit of it. She went to Elder AS
found the family at the table, and told
the news. Then she footed Oh to Elder
BIS and Deacon C's, and over half the
town. The other half that she had nC
time to call on soon heard it from the
first half, and before noon :there was
great excitement i'll Ballville.
The officers of the church discussed
the matter with heavy hearts. Sucf
disgraceful conduct could not he en-.

and his wife and inquire into the mat

''What minister will you send p

And the Grave answered, Il am con

And now the church bells began to
toll, and the mournful procession to
advance.
"Who are they bringing now ~ said
the Grave.
"Ah," said Death, ''they are bringing
IA household. The drunken father aim
ed Il blow at his wife. He killed the
mother and her child together, and
then dashed out his own life"
"And who" said the Grave, "comes

"This is broken hearted woman,
who has long pined away in want,
while her husband has wasted his sub
stance at the tavern. And he too is

"Yes. 1t is the widows cry. 1t is

An Immense Man.

Chang, the Chinese giant, now eX-
hibiting in this country, is an atfable,
courteous, educated, gentlemanly crca-
ture, with the best of manners. His
right hand sparkles with five huge dia-
mond rings, one of them present from
the Emperor of Austria, hearing the i'm
perIal crest; another Il present from
the late Emperor of Russia, and the
rest presents from mobiles and people of
different countries in the old world
which he has visited. He is thorough
scholar, speaks seven different Ian
guages, among them the English, with
the tiucncy of Il native. His height is
within four inches of nine feet his
weight is 364 pounds. He is not ii
ttcshy man, as most giants are, but
spare i'll proportion to his build. He
has been in the show business for 20
years, and has seen all the countries
over the world and all the noted pcO-
pie. He is high-priced giant, because
he is imposed upon everywhere. To
tailors he is Il prize, to landlords Il ter
ror. I'm New York he went to get meas
ured for IA suit of clothes, which at the
most eXhavagant calculation would not
have cost the average man over $50,
but the tailor charged him SIS5. In the
same city, when he first arrived there,
two months ago, his agent procured
board for him at Il down town restaurant.
The proprietor charged him S4.75 fol
one meal and told him, after he had
paid his bill, that he could not board
him at that rate, as he would break
him up i'll IL month if he attempted to
do it. Subsequent negotiations with
the agent induced him to take him at
the rate of 5000 IA month, but in three
weeks time the proprietor pleaded with
the agent to he relieved of the con
tract, as Chang was eating him out ot
hnuS, and hona
