A young married lady went to church
in Indianapolis Sunday evening with a
man who was not her husband. In the
midst of the services they were observed
to rise and hurry out lust as the Wom-
ans husband marched down the aisle
with a knife in his hand. Two or three
deacons jumped through the windows
and.so prevented a hostile meeting on
the sidewalk, which finally ended in the
husbands going home with his wife and
the lover trying his luck else
where. In spite of the %eloquence of the
preacher these proceedings attracted
more attention than he did.
The Pail Mall Gazette SAYS there are
still agricultural villagers in England
where the laborers do not taste meat
from one years end to another. AT
one such village in Essex some of the
meat from which beef tea had been
made was given to a laborer, who ex-
claimed, as he deyoured the tasteless
and rather indigestible mass, ooh, if I
had some of this every day it would
make a new man of me-" The curate
has made arrangements for obtaining
large consignments of this emssculated
food from the London hospitals, and it
is eagerly bought by the villagers.

The project of draining the valley of
Mexico is an immense one, and rill cost
for its completion, it is estimated $l0,-
100000, but from the character of the
men engaged in it, it will probably be
accomplished within the next three
years. Hon. Geo. B. Loring is president
of the company, and he has associated
with him such men as senators Call, Har-
ris, Jones, Butler and Sabin besides many
other representative men both in this
country and Mexico. The work will be a
continuation of that begun in the second
century after the conquest, and when
completed will entirely change the san
itary and agricultural conditions of the
valley.
In Justin McCarthy's new novel,
"Maid of Athens the following dialogue
is given:-"All greet countries produce
stimulants," said Vlachos. sententiously;
France, wine; England, beer; l mean
great as distinguished from big countries.
The United States will one day be great
as well as big; then yours will be a wine
producing. country. Wine goes with

the proposition. To Lord st. Ives the
grare made into wine was an article of
commerce, and he knew all about it.
For the poetry of the grape and the wine
it makes, for the poetic dreamings that
are born of wine, Lord St. Ives cared
nothing. He never bestowed a thought
on the subject. He would as soon have
thought Of associating it with vatonia or
tallow. To Paul Hathaway the
properties of the grape when melted in
to wine were simply an abomination.
Sobriety N mar was to him the same as
chastity IN woman.
