How MANY LEGS HAS A SHEEP p
The Earl of Bradford was brought before
Lord Loughborough, and a conversation
followed, in which the Chancellor was COM
pletely puzzled At last he asked, "How
many legs has Sheep" Does your Lord
ship mean, asked Lord Bradford, "a live
sheep or dead sheep?" rs it not the
same thing p said the Chancellor. "No,
my Lord, said Lord Bradford; 'there Is
much difference. A live sheep may have
four legs; dead sheep has only two. The
two fore legs are shoulders, but there are
but two legs of mutton.

A writer in German paper states that
it is custom in offices in that country to
have sliced potato on the desk in COM
mercial houses. He does not state whether
the esculent should be raw or not, but the
probability is that it is boiled. The use of
the potato is to clean steel pens, and gen.
orally act as pen-wiper 1t removes all
ink crusts, and gives peculiarly smooth
flow to the ink. He also states that the
Hamburg clerks pass new pens two or three
times through gas fame, and then the

TEMPERANCE AND RELIGION

Every church member should make
temperance a part of his daily relig-
ion. The bottle is the deadliest foe
to Christ in our churches and our
communities. A friend of Christ
must be the enemy of the bottle.
More souls are ruined by the in
toxicating cup than by any sin
gle vice or error on the globe.
Every professed Christian who gives
his example to the drinking usages
is a partner in the tremendous havoc
which those evil customs produce.
eff any man will come after me, =
said the Divine Master, ''let him
deny himself" And the great apos-
tie only clenched this glorious pre-
cept when he said, sit is good not to
drink wine whereby my brother stun
bleth, or is offended, or is made
weak" On this immutable rock OF
self-denial stands the temperance re.
form. There the divine founder oil
Christianity placed it. With Chris
tianity it is linked; with Christianity
it will stand or perish. We do no
hesitate to close this brief paper will
the declaration that with the triumph
and prevalence of Christian selt-deni
al IN the church is bound up the only
hope of the triumph and prevalence,
of pure Christianity, in our world

Interjections have their value.
They can express emotions which
cannot be conveyed in any other way.
80" is fat, jolly letter, but it can
hold good deal of sympathy.
Notice the following from an ex-
change: An eminent clergyman sat
in his study busily engaged in pre-
pairing his Sunday sermon, when his
little boy toddled into his room, and,
holding up his pinched finger, said,
with an expression of suffering,
"Look pa, how I hurt it. The ia
Their, interrupted in the middle of a
sentence, glanced hastily at him, and
with just the slightest tone of impa-
tience, said, 81 can't help it, sonny"
The little fellows eyes grew bigger,
and, as he turned to go out, he said
in low voice: Eyes, you could.
You might have said, 20 ?"

Longfellow's courtesy was as I'M
failing as the demands upon it were
numerous and pressing. Very few
are aware of the tax upon prominent
men for autographs. He almost in

Not long since he had a letter from a
western boy, who sent his name, de-

HARRY'S BIRTHDAY.

Little Harry sat on the door step
one bright spring afternoon, studying
his lessons for the next day. His
mother was in the next room with
the dress-maker, who was making
him some calico shirts. His mother
called him, but instead of coming
right away, he said GROSSLY, Cant
you wait a few minutes? | want to
finish this example,
"Now said his mother firmly,
s'you must come right away" Har-
~ came, but with a pout on his lips
and frown on his forehead.
SIS this the boy that only last ev-
ening told me he was going to mind
me without pouting?" said Mrs.
Manning. In an instant Harry's
arms were around her neck, and he
said:
ooh, mama l forgot that prom
Use. Really, 1 did. Please forgive
me-"
II will, if you are really sorry,
replied his mother.
II am sorry enough to do anything
for you,-you are so sweet" an
swered Harry, with something in his
tone of voice that showed that he
meant it.
care you sorry enough to 60 to
Haley's for some calico to match
this? said she, handing him sample
of blue and white checked calico.
''Indeed | am, MOTHER said Har-
ry.
"All right. Hurry up; and on
your way please post these letters, y
handing him five. ''Here is the mon
ey; l have no stamps" mother said,
giving him three fve-cent pieces.
When Harry got into the town. he
lived in the country, he saw hoop
Just like one his cousin had had when
he visited him. So, of course, Harry
wanted it. He inquired the price, and
found it to be fifteen cents. He had
twelve cents, but that was all.
Il can post four of mama's let
tiers and keep the change, and thai
will make fifteen,' he said to him
self. But conscience whispered
"You know you ought not to, for the
money is not yours. - "But SHE
would give it to me if | asked her,
said his own will. Conscience whis
pered, "But you did not ask her.
And so the fight went on in his heart
At last, sad to say, the evil conquer
ed, and he mailed four letters, tool
the change, bought the hoop and tn
calico, and hurried home. His moth
er asked no questions.
Very soon his birthday cam
around. The day before, as hi
mother was cleaning up Harry's room
she came across the letter he had nc
posted. She felt greatly grieved
She thought Harry had forgotten t
post it, and then was afraid to te
her; so she called him to her.
Harry, what does this mean
Come, dear, tell me,-so you can bt
gin the new year, tomorrow, righr
ly," He told her all, and then said
''Do forgive me, mamma? [ hay

SAD ACCIDENT.
gIr. OSCAR CRAIGG Blown MP by a Prema-

SUBSTITUTION of an EYE-Its
Subsequent Removal by Surgical


Mr.. Oscar Craigg was foreman in a cement quarry
at Rosendae, Ulster Co., n. Y. By an explosion one
day in the quarry he lost eye-lost totally Under
the impression that the matter less serious the
local physician told Mr.. Craigg that his eye was not
lost wholly but could be saved by treatment The ex-
pertinent tried and failed. Worse remained be-
hind, for he was in danger of losing the other also,
through sympathitic inflammation. In this strait he
consulted DIR. David Kennedy of Rondout, N Y.
who told him the injured eye must be taken out to
save the other To this Mr.. Craigg demurred and
went back home in doubt. His local physician said :
$50 TO New York. To New York the patient went
and of the most eminent oculists in the country
having looked at the case, SAID: You have lost one
eye entirely go back and do what you can to save the
other" Briefly. DIR. Kennedy removed the ruined
eye and treated Mr.. Craigg with ssKennedy,s Fa-
v0rite Remedy' to build up the system, and the
result was successful
DIR. Kennedy's great success as a Surgeon is due
to the use of sFavOrite Remedy'' in the after
treatment
