Had no Fun In Him

Ono Of the members of the Methodist Con-
ference recently held here was out for .
walk at an early hour one morning, and
while on Howard Street he encountered
strapping big fellow, who was drawing Q
wagon to the blacksmith shop.
"Catch hold here and help me down to tho
shop with this wagon and I'll buy the
whisky!" called the big fellow. ",

good man.
"Well, you can take cigar"
81 never SMOKE" .''..
The man dropped the wagon tongue, look
ed hard at the membe and asked:
"Don't you chew?"
"No sir" was the decided reply. -
"You must get mighty lonesome" unused
the teamster.

'I'll bet you oven that can lay you on

"Well, let's take each other down for fun,
them. You are as big as am, and I'll give
you the under hold"
II never haye fun," solemnly answered
the member. "Well, I'm going to tackle
you any way. Here We Co."
The teamster slid up and endeavored to
get q neck hold, but he had only just COM

clear of the grass aud slammed against .
tree box with such force that he gasped half

OPENING THE BosroN MUSEUMS ON SUNDAY.
The movement now on foot in New York to
secure the opening of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum on Sundays is in keeping Of the grow
ing desire on the part Of the American peo-
pie, one-quarter Of whom arc said to live in
cities, to secure on Sunday a larger degree of
educational freedom and privilege. Coinci-
don't with it has been tho English house Of
Lords to secure the opening OF tho British
Museum and the South Kensington Museum
on Sundays. The motion to open these great
institutions TO the masses Of people in Lon
don and in aho districts suburban to it was
lost BY the narrow majority Of seven votes.

sent Of Parliament to tho change Ia only

Fra Roces. the celebrated but eccentric
preacher of Naples, once scared mis- congrega-
ton in tho most beneficial way. He, preach
ed tremendous sermon On the inevitable
consequences Of . sinful life. His hearers
wore in q convuision Of excitement with the
blazing picture OF "a sulphurous retribu,ion
before their iuaaxiaations. All .: once he
stopped in the very midst of an eloquent
appeal and cried ont, ':Now, all Of yoa who
sincerely repent Of your sins, hold up your
hands" Every hand in the assembly was
up in en instant. The preacher looked upon
the sceno for one awful moment, and then
addressing the higher powers exclaimed.

thy adamantine sword standeth at tho right
Of the judgement seat or God, hew me OF every

A Cannon to shoot Ten Miles

The making of the patterns for the Lyman
Haskell accelerating or multicharge gun, at
Scott foundry of the Reading Iron Works
was begun this morning. The gun will be
twenty five feet long and have bore six
inches in diameter. Along the bore four
pockets will be located, in each of which a
charge Of powder will be placed, with the
view of accelerating the speed Of the bail
after it leaves the chamber of the gun and
during its progress through the bore. Ex-
perts who have seen tho drawings and have
given the subject OF the manufacture of heavy
ordnance study have expressed the opinion
that the gun will throw ball distance of
ten to twelve miles, whereas five miles is
good range for tho best cannon. The charge
of powder will be $50 pounds, and the weight
Of the shot $50 pounds. 1t is calculated that
a shot from the gun will penetrate through
two feet Of solid wrought iron.--Reading

! Fred Somers writes to the Argonaut aud de-
scribas model and, also an immoral city.
| Clean and well-kept streets; boulevards
lined with shady trees and flanked by broad
side walks, terminating in spacious squares;
| perfect sewerage; police system so efficient
that life and property is as safe as human pro-
| lection can make it; cabs that demand reson-
| able and uniform fare; omnibuses that drive
| to their destination when the places are full
without stoppages Ell route; stores that are
compelled to stand by their represen tations Of
goods; markets that dare sell nothing I'M
wholesome in fish, tiesh or fowl: place
where there really is such thing as law and
order; where rascally contractors do nor a
bound, and where the officials do not steal the
city blind and themselves rich. "Yes Paris
is model city, bnt-it is so immoral" All,
but that is exactly what makes it so attractive
Good Americans and other moral aliens
would not break their nocks to get there were
it otherwise. The French have reasoned it
well. immortality being the necessary evil,
they recognize the fact. and only demand that
it be as decent as possible. They whiten the
sepulchre. and gild the dome. If "the way
of the transgrossor is bard" in other cities, in
that it is the transgressor's way anyhow, and
might well be made as comfortable to trav-
el as possible. London, and New York, and
even the virtuous Boston, drive their vice up
on the streets, or hide it within the aristo
cratic fashionable circles, and then, with up
saised hands OF holy horror deny its existence
altogsather. Paris, on the other hand, is hon
est enough to recognize her tree Of evil. and,
pointing to the forbidden fruit, says: There
it is; if you want it, pluck and cat. And on
this simple Invitation it is hardly necessary
to inform you that the prudes abroad manage
to get away with the bulk of the crop, for no
one interferes with them in the harvest. Toll
Grafton, and the minding Of ones own busin-
ess in this respect, is nowhere more complete.

Diseases OF the Horses Eye.

Replying to the question. "Is a de-
feet in the eyes. which impairs the sight.
apt To get worse in the course of time?"
the Prairie Farmer says:
There are some diseases OF the
horses eye which may be entirely re-
moved by proper and timely treatment.
Certain diseases of the eve. such as
periodic ophthalmia. or so-called moon
blindness, can only be relieved tempo
rarity; while there are others, such rs
cataract, amaurosis. and large specks
on the surface of the eye ball, the cica-
trice of q wound, which are of perma-
nent duration. Depending upon the
nature of the ailment, the utility Of the
horse is correspondingiy more or less
impaired, and the value OF the animal
lessened. Whatever the nature of the
disease may be, unless it arises from
particular and recent cause, it is apt to
get worse. and may eventually end in
total loss OF vision. During the pro-
greSs of the disease, such horses are
generally more or less dangerous to use.
