Sure of Heaven.

Timblcthorp, who had not attended
church for some time, thought he would
go the other Sunday, md as he did, not
have time to shave himself he concluded
that he would not make his appearance
in the sacred edifice until after the
services had begun. When he got there,
however, he found that there, were q
great many people of evidently the same
mind as himself, for the rear pews were
all full. The polite sexton seeing his
annoyance told him there were plenty OF
seats half way up the aisle, and Timble.
thorp, ashamed to turn back now that
he had placed himself ut tho religious
plough, proceeded through the dim light
towards the chancel. He looked right
and left, but could find no place until he
reached the vicinity Of the pulpit, when
ho cspied a pew with only q lady and q
small boy in it. They occupied the
upper end of it, and ho modestly took
his position Mt tho opposite extremity.
He devoutly proceeded to knccl when
the knceling bench shot up like a rocket
and struck tho little boy, who was stand
ing Of course, under the chin An
inearthly yell shot through the church,
all the members Of the congregation
sprung 10 CIelf lecC, ana TIC music Ol tnc
choir was completely drowned The
next thing Timblethorp knew was that
he was being escorted down the aisle by
two policemen, preparatory to being
locked up on charge Of malicious
assault. 1t was not till tho next day
that the sexton discovered that some
mischieyoss boy had twisted off the
underpinning of the kneeling bench iat
Timblethorp's side of the pew. Timble-
thorp was discharged from custody, but
he says that no saint ever endured 80
much modification as he, and that no is
sure Of heaven if he never goes to church
again.

Economy in Fuel.

DIR. @. w. Siemens thinks it about time
that the economical use of fuel should be
practiced in our Offices and our homes,
rs we'll as in large manufacturing estab-
lishments. He hes devised CRATE which
gives ont fine heat without noxious
gases into room--a grate which is very
cleanly and which meets fairly tho re-
quiremonts of economy in construction
and Use. There is no patent on this
CRATE. An iron dead plato is riveted at
right angles to stout copper plate fac
ing tho back Of the grate and extending
fiye inches above and below, where the
iron plato joins it. The dead plate stops
short about IN inch from the bottom bar
of the CRATE to make room for hnlf-inch
gas pipe which is penetrated with small
holes arranged zig-zag on it's upper sur
face. This pipe rests Oh a lower plate
bent downward toward the back so as to
form vertical and horizontal channel
Of about ono inch in breadth between
the two plates. A trap.door in the lower
plato below the gas pipe serves to remove
the ashes. The vertical portion of the
channel contains strip Of sheet copper
arranged like frill and riveted to the
back. This frill Of copper conducts the
heat from the back and sets up current
of air in tho channel, and this air forces
tho small gas-jets of me perforated pipe
to burn brightly. Instead of tho pumico
stone, the front of the CRATE is filled with
coke or anthracite, to which the heat of
the gas-jets Is transferred. DR.. Siemens
says that he holds it almost barbarous to
use raw coal for any purpose and that the
time will'come when oil our. fuel will be
separated into it's two constituents before
reaching our factories or domestic
hearths

Miss Keziah likewise rose, and folding
her hands primly in front of her remark
ed grimly: "When you first began your
talking hadn't the least idea what you
were driving at. T thought You were
limiting about Betsey Hill, and wanted to
take mo into your confidence. never
dreamed that you meant me. Why, I
supposed that 1 wouldn't give up my
freedom for the best man living. Betsy
Hill is pious, likely woman; she'll
make good home for you and she needs

.Ihe deacon wns completely withered,
and Miss Keziah continued: eff you'll
step around a little iyelier, deacon, and
pick up the stones on your lots and put
them into good fences, and NOW down
those pesky weeds, there's no earthly
reason why your farm shouldn't look as
well asmine. If I've said anything to
hurt your feelings, deacon, I hope you'll
overlook it, Why, you're all tangled up
i'll that yarn; I'll untangle it."
The delay of unwinding the yarn from
the deacon's feet gave Miss Keziah
chance for further remark: zone word
more, deacon; have you heard about the
Western lands?'
The deacon wished he was anywhere
out of the range of those mercilcss black
eyes.
"I-think I've hcen tell suthin' about
'em," he replied, meekly.
81 thought SO! I thought so!'' ex-
claimed Miss Kcziah, savngely. "Well,
deacon, those lands rightfully belong to
my niece, Mary; I only hold them rs
The deacon began to look upon his re-
lection as a blessing in disguise, for
without the Western lands Miss KeAiah' q
attractions seemed tame compared with
those Of mild, blue-eyed, buxom widow
Hill. II can trust to ye never to men-
tion this?" he asked, timidly.
"I shall not mention it. Now, follow
my advice, deacon; Mako sure of Betsy
Hill before another week goes by. You
have my good wishes. See to this Mt

The good woman followed her crest
fallen visitor to the door. AS sudden
gust of cold night air put out tho light,
she said: '"rho air is swapping tonight;

And the discounted deacon felt that
he had been nipped by something sharp

TRI-WEEKLY EDITION
THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There il many q rest on the road OF life
II wa would only atom to take IT:

There is many q rest on the road Of life
II we would only stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
II the querulouB heart would wake it.
TO the sunny soul that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers arc bright,
Though the wintry storm prcvailcth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And keep the eyes still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominouB clouds are rlfted.
There never was night without day,
Or an evening without morning,
And the darkest hour, 80 the proyerb goes,
Is tho hour before the dawning.
There is many gem In the path Of life,
Which we pass in our Idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jewcled crown,
Or the mlser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love Of a little child,
Or q mothers prayer to Heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For q cup Of water given.
Better to weave In the web Of life
bright and golden filling,
And 10 Gods will with ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing,
Then to snap the delicate, slender threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.
