How A PREACHER EARNED A SOFA.
The World says; The Rev. f. T..
Hopkins, pastor Of Presbyterian church
in Hampstead, l.. l., on Friday stopp-
ed at furniture store in the village
to enquire the price Of a sofa. The
proprietor Of the store jostingly told
him that he could have one for moth
ing if he would carry it home. Mr..
Hopkins took him at his word, and
picking up a sofa carried it of, much
to the susprise of the furniture'dealer.
As the preacher passed the railroad
depot a train arrived, and as soon as
the passengers learned the circumstan-
cCs they cheered Mr.. Hopkins.

The new postal money order, which
it is proposed to issue, is simple card
with three rows Of figures on it. Any
amount, from five dollars down can be
RENTED in this way, by simply punch
ing the figures representing the re-
quired amount. The cost of the card
will be only three ceuts. This will
be great public convenience; as,
since the abolition of the fractional pa
per currency, the remission of small
amounts has been attended with inoon-
venience and loss. The fact was de-
veloped, during the debate on this
subject in Congress, that at the close
of the last fiscal year the money or
ders left uncalled for and unpaid
amounted to over two million Of dol.
lars.

An astute medical man, in France,
has discovered a venomous poison in
the germ of the potato, to which, he
says, many of humanity's ills are to
be attributed. How singular it is
that he made this discovery only af
ter the succulent potato had risen in
value to almost it's weight in gold,
and in dignity to the proud eminence
heretofore attained only by the hot
house strawberry. Y. Herald.

Webster in his young days, fell very
much in love with young lady Of
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, who reciprocated his
passion, but whose family strongly
objected TO her choice. The result
was a separation, painful but final.
The lady wrote him a last letter, in
which she used the words, eff we try
we may forget" afterward employed
in the song, coming in at the close of
a stanza:
For III We try we may forget"
Were words Of thine long years ago.
The last verse is as follows:
Yes; these we're words Of thine Lorena
They burn within my memory yeti
They touch some tender chords Lorena,
Which thrill aud tremble with regret
There Is future Oh thank God,

IT'S dust TO dust beneath the sod,
But there. up there, It's heart TO heart.

no doubt happy, but the curious story

value.
In 1914 the English government
under Edward VI paid El2. 1Qs. 1t.
about Saol for II ozs troy weight
OF standard gold. In 1881 it paid for
the same quantity OF gold f46,14s.6G
about $780, The question Is: III
gold was worth $50 per lb troy weight
in 1874 and $3.50 per 10 troy weight
In 1881, what determines that value !?
and in what il 1t paid?"
