How tho Minister Obtained a Large

The Rev. DR.. Wellington was the old
Templeton minister from early in the
eighteen bundreths, and Col. Leonard
Stone was ono of his Pensioners 1t was
the custom to supplement the minister,

products OF the farm, and especially with
wood. Now Col. Leonard one day in

was going across the common with it his
brother, Col Ephssim, caught sight Of

about it?'
Now, look here, says Col. Leonard,

I'll give the minister as big load as you

Col. Ephraim was man for fun. He
instigated the townspeople to take hold

lenge. First, they made the sled. Long
trees werc cut for the runners These

eight feet apart The body OF the sled
projected two feet over the runner on each
side. Thus the sled would hold twelve
regular cords at one layer There were
two tongues, one in front Of each runner

oxen from all over town came TO the meet

Miss Josephine Meeker, in lato lecture
says "The Utes live principally upon
bread and meat. When they can't get
bread they live on meat and whom they
can't get meat they live on bread. When
they have provisions on hand they eat it
all up before getting any more. The same
is true when they have q small quantity on
hand. They are dirty. Their meat is gen
orally permitted to lie about on the
ground or any place Each Indian family
possesses any number Of dogs from eight
to fifteen, and these animals help them
selves to the meat. After they have salts
fled themselves, and the Indians become
hungry, they cut off this same piece Oh
which the dogs fed. They generally boil
their meat. but sometimes broil it, They
put it In water and let it remain only few
minutes, just long enough to heat, when
they take it out and begin to eat. They
use the same water and the same pail for
boiling over and over again until the wa
ter becomes perfect slime Of filth. One
pot generally does service for the entire
family. This particular pot is frying
pan. When the Utes get out Of bed they
wash their faces and bathc the baby in IL,
after which they bake the bread and boil
the meat. They eat 1out Of the vessel,
and then the dogs lick up the leavings.
They clothe themselves with the skins Of
animals or with blankets. They generally
take blanket or skin and cut hole in
the middle Of IL and throw IL over their
heads, cutting arm holes and fastening
the garment at the waist with u wido belt
while they close up the neck with buck
skin string. When the garment wears
out they cut the string and let it drop, but
not before. Sometimes the Indians will
wear as many as five Of these garments at
. time, always keeping the cleanest ono on
The outside.

MUSICAL SERVANTS. The following
strange advertisements are taken from an
old English work. They speak volumes
OF abject standing Of musicians one hund.
red and fifty years ago;
II any young man that plays well on the
violin and writes good hand desires a
clerkship. l can help him to Gao a year
want compete young man that will
wear livery TO wait on very valuable
gentleman; but he must know how TO play
on o violin or n flute.
l want q genteel footman that can play
on q violin to wait on person Of honor
II can meet with sober man that has
countertenor voice, i can help him 10 a
place worth ESQ the year, or more.
This continual demand for musical
servants arose from the fashion OF making
them take part In tho musical perform.
ances, of which custom we find frequent
traces in Pepys Altogether, the most
varied accomplishments appear to have
been expected from servants.

GROWING OLD. Don't grow old and

youth. Gray hair and wrinkles you can

your age is only ON the outside you will
win confidence from tho young, and find
your lifo all the brighter from contact
with theirs. But you have too many grave
