The Champion Liar.

The most abled-bodied liar on this
continent is now on the staff of the San
Francisco Chronicle, and that paper is
justly proud of his brilliant mendacity.
Gifted as others have been in this line,
the Frisco man discounts them all and
gives them as many points as they wish
at the beginning of the game. His gen.
ius in this respect is probably the result
of the GLORIOUS climate of California, ."
ably seconded by that training which
only Chicago or San Francisco can give.
His most imposing and massive false
hoods are always in the medical line. A
while ago he gave an accout of physi-
clan who removed a condemned criminals
brain, piece by piece. The top of the
unfortunate culprit's head would lift off
like a lid, so that any inquisitive person
could gaze at the empty shell. To do
the doctor justice it must be admitted
that he kept the scooped-out head filled
with cotton, SO that the brainless man
could not catch cold. No doubt Califor-
mia is SO accustomed to see men without
brains that this story passed current
there. This man, We presume, is now
an estimable citizen of San Francisco,
going around with lump of cotton in
stead of brains. Again, this chronicler
wrote of physician who fixed up bath
that would freeze solid in an instant, by
touching an electric knob. By mistake
the physician got into the bath, some
one touched the knob, and in moment
the doctor was ready to be loaded on an
ice wagon. The latest yarn appeared
last week. Barney McGee, probably
descendant of the Bouncing Barney
McGee" celebrated in an old Irish song,
drove street car till he got disease
that softened all his bones. Barney was
about to collapse when DR.. Bishop took
him in hand and ossified Mr. McGee on
the outside. He procured bone material
at the stock yards and covered Barney
with a shell-in fact, made human oys-
ter of him. Barney has no bones inside,
but his outside shell prevents collapse
and although he is little stiff in his
manner he gets along all right.-Detroit

A Rlizzard.

A "bizzard" is described by the Chey-
anne Leader as follows: There is no
clearly stated definition of the word
" blizzard" as it is not found in the
dictionaries. It is purely Western in
yention. Blizzard came out since the
dictionaries were built. But then biz
zard is an unspeakably mean thing. Oh!
it is so mean. No one ever thinks of a
blizzard without apologizing mentally
for touching upon SO base a subject.
What the cayote is to the hunter, the
freighter, the cowboy, and the miner,
the blizzard is to the average citizen.
The blizzard ranks about as high in me-
teorology as does the skunk In zoology.
And then a blizzard is the only thing
known to history or science that will
blow thirteen ways at once. It.descnbes
a course precisely like a Scotch plaid.
You turn from direct Gne-to the lee
way-of the fierce wind in order to catch
a good square breath, and the blizzard is
there too. It catches you on the point
of exhalation, just as your lungs are an
immense vacuum. Your mouth is open,
of course, and the blizzard suddenly
fills you so full of wind that nothing but
q heavy conscience prevents you from
soaring aloft at once like balloon. You
feel miserable and tighter'n bass drum.
You want to swear, but you haven't time.
Your only relief is to strain the blizzard
through your fingers.

One of Mr.. MOOdy's Stories.

A man came into one of our meetings
in the East, called me aside, and said:
81 want to be Christian, but I am
defaulter. have taken s., 800 from my
employers, and have less than 81, 900.
What shall do? Hadn't better take
what have and go into business, and
try to make enough to pay what owe ?"
"No, sir" I said "you haven't any
more right to that money than if you
had taken it out of my pocket. Go and
return all you have, even if you leave
your family penniless. The Lord will
not receive you while you have stolen
money in your hands," The man came
night after night, but found no peace
until he brought all the money he had
($9SO) and gave it to me to give to his
employers. took it to them. They
forgave him. They helped him, and he
soon found peace in Jesus"

True HerOisn.

An act Of distinguished bravery was
performed in one of the principal mines
in the district of Linares, in Spain.
Three miners were engaged in sinking a
shaft, and, after charging the borehole
with dynamite, two of them climbed to
the gallery above, the third, as is GUS
tomary, remaining behind to light the
fuses attached to the charges. Having
done SO, he signaled to his comrades,
and was in the act of being hoisted up
with a windlass and rope when, on near
ing the mouth of the shaft, he by some
accident lost his hold and fell distance
of fifty feet to the bottom of the shaft,
where he lay stunned and disabled, in
close proximity to the burning fuses. A
chain ladder fortunately communicated
with the bottom of the shaft, and, ON OBJ
serving the fall, one of the miners at the
windlass, placing his drawn knife be-
tween his teeth, went down without q
moments hesitation to the rescue of his
injured comrade, and severed the fuses
as they were on the point of igniting the
charges, and thus saving him from an
awful and instantaneous death.

An Affecting Sentence.

Judge x, of Arkansas, had brought
before him convicted felon to be SEN
fenced. The opportunity to improve
the occasion was not to be lost; and SO,
after the usual demand for reason why
sentence should not be pronounced, his
Honor slowly, and with genuine feeling,
addressed the prisoner: "My poor fel-
low, you are about to go to the Peniten-
tiary. You are required to give up, for
a long time, everything which the great
world values-your family, and, instead,
to take for your associates only felons
like yourself; your home, and to take
instead what can never have the SEM
blance of a home; your will, and SO to
be subject to the order of men who have
no sympathy with you. Even your ordi-
nary clothing you exchange for"-here
his Honor, raising his left arm, pointed
to it with the index finger of his right
hand striped clothes, the stripes not
running lengthwise, like those, but so
round and round, like a coon's TAIL"

Birds in HeligOland.

Heligoland is the most celebrated
station in the world for studying the
migration of birds. This little island is
hardly hundred acres in extent-an
isolated, triangular rock of red sand
stone, With perpendicular cliffs 200 or
800 feet in height all around it. It is
mostly cultivated, and its resident birds
are hardly more than dozen species;
but in spring and autumn migrating
birds make it resting place, and these
are watched for and shot or trapped by
almost the whole population, and the
results have been carefully chronicled
for the last twenty-five years by Mr..
Gatke, an experienced resident ornithol-
ogist. The amazing result is that as
many species of birds have been OBJ
tanned in this minute islet as In any
country in Europe, while the vast num-
Der of the migrating focks is shown by
the fact that 5000 larks have some
times been caught in one night.

GA Great Moral Lesson.0

Those who pass "the boxes" wherein
the aims of the congregation are put,
see many moral lessons, but none more
graphic than this one:
At meeting of some colored breth.
ren it was decided to make collection.
The President concluded to pass the hat
himself, and, in order to encourage the
others he put in ten-cent piece. After
the collection, during which every hand
had been in the hat, the President ap-
preached the table, turned the hat up
side down, and not even his own contri-
button dropped out.
He opened his eyes with astonish-
ment, and exclaimed, else eben lost de
ten cents started wild |"
Then there was consternation on the
faces of the assembly. It was evidently
a hopeless case, and was summed up by
one brother, who rose in his place and
said solemnly, "Dar pears to be great
moral lesson roun' heah somewhat"

Thread from Wood.

The manufacture of thread from wood
for crochet and sewing purposes has, it
is said, been started in Sweden. The
manufacture has arrived at such q state
of perfection that it can produce, at q
much lower price, thread of as fine
quality as Clark's, and has from this cir
cumstance been called thread ga la
Clark" 1t is wound in balls by ma
chinery, either by hand or steam, which,
with thelabeling, takes one minute twelve
seconds, and the balls are packed up in
cardboard boxes, generally ten in box.
Plenty of orders from all parts of Sweden
yet in proper order there has hardly
been time to complete them all. The
production gives fair promise of success,
and it is expected to be very important
for home consumption. - Scientific
