The Minister'S Cow.

1t is good thing for preacher to
"stick to his text" But il he is tied to
it, it may run away with him, especially
if it goes ON all fours. An exchange tells
this droll story of a clergyman expert
ment, and how it ended:
Some years ago there lived In Central
New York very worthy but eccentric
divine known as Father Goss. lie had
a hired man named Isaac, who always
obeyed orders without question.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when milked,
refusing to surrender the tactical fluid,
although Isaac used all the persuasive
arts of which he WAS master. He finally
reported her delinquencies to his mas
ter.
We'll, Isaac" said he, "go TO the
barn and get those pieces of new rope. =
isaac obeyed; the COW was driven to
the stable, tied with piece of rope,
when the Rev. came out armed with q
knife.
Now" he explained to Isaac, 81
will get on the cows back, and you tie
my feet beneath her, then you 60 on
with your milking. and, with my weight
upon her, she must give down hermiIk.
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied, the
pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and plunged
wildly about. The stable was low and
the Rev. s head was fearfully thumped.
80 Isaac Isaac /" bawled he, g cut
the rope
Isaac seized the knife and cut, not the
rope which tied the masters feet, but
the one that tied the COW. The stable
door was open, also the yard gate.
Away darted the frantic COW, the ter
rified man on her back, helplessly roar.

DESTROYING the Human Stomach,

The manufacture of cheap candies
from white earth, or terra alba, mixed
with little sugar and glucose, is carried
on extensively in New York. A census
taker, who investigated the confectionery
business, reports that seventy five per
cent. Of some candies is composed Of
these substances, and some candy,
notably 'sgum Drops contains still less
sugar. What is called fine brand Of

Taking Advantage of Nature.

An ingenious application OF expansion

taken advantage Of since. The walls Of

to be giving Way BY bullying outward,

to their vertical position. For this pur-

4 Decidedly New Game at Cards.

A Paris correspond Mt gives this CO.
count of pretty game of cards now
fashionable in that city:
"The participants were young ladies
and gentlemen who sat in equal numbers
on either side Of the table. The cards
were dealt out to each, and one hand,
like as IN euchre, settled each wager.
The wager played for in this game is that
the lady or gentleman whogets the ace
OF hearts and can take trick with it, or
beat it with another card, has the option
to kiss any lady or gentleman he or she
may select IL lady is the winner Of
the successful trick, this option may be
used or not, as she elects and generally
she does waive her right; but ii gen.
tleman holds the lucky card, of course
he invariably exercises his right The
result was that gentleman when he held
the ace Of hearts was sure to get it passed;
if lady held it she almost always had it
taken. IT was quite study to watch with
what perfect sang froid the gentlemen
stood mp to receive the stake he had won,
and with what consummate grace the
indy bent her head to one side SO that
her lucky opponent across the Ia lie
should receive his full pound Of flesh,
not to mention the utter indifference If
both to the psesence of friends or
strangers sitting around. do not know
how the players felt, but the watching Of
few hands played was sufficient to sat
isfy me that il was but a poor game after
alI How it came about don't know,
but saw one gentleman win six games
i'll rapid succession and kiss the same
lady as maey times. That destroyed all
interest had NJ to that time taken in
the game. It satisfied me that it was a
game in which the cards could be so
manipulated that a poor player or a
beginner could have very little chance.
II made me feel indeed that I would yet
prefer hand at euchre for the drinks.
