An Idol SMASHED.

A series of revival meetings was in
progress, and the subject on one evening
was the book of Ruth Among the con-
gregation was brother whom the sisters
delighted to heer. His language was
always howery -graadly eloquent
Waiting for his chance, he at length
arose and said Brethren and sisters,
the subject this evening is the book of
Ruth And do you know that | never
turn to the book of Ruth without
thought coming to my mind that there it
lies, like beautiful jewel between the
ermine of the Judges and the purple of
the Kings" Such an exquisite thought
did not fail to have its effect upon his
admiring hearers. Laterin the evening
an elderly clergyman came in, and after
listening to the remarks for some time
arose aud said: "My friends, whenever
| turn to the book of Ruth | am always
reminded of thai beautiful quotation
from Taylor, that it lies like a lovely
jewel between the ermine of the Judges
and the purple of the Kings And he
sat down, blissfully unaware of the idol
he had smashed while the grandiloquent
man, like turtle, drew his head as far
down into his coat collar as his spine
would allow. - Nea0burypou Herald,

Hunting TrGmes.

The employment of the pig in search.
Ing for truflies probably originated in
Italy in the fifteenth century, and his
services are now highly valued in this
connection. But it is kind Of pig
quite different from the obese animal
which is the pride of breeders. He trots
before his master, and, on reaching the
place Of search, he smells the ground
and stops where trufie has attracted
him by its aroma. A curious scene then
ensues. The pig begins vigorously to
dig with his snout into the ground,
throwing up the earth and stones, some
times kneeling on his short forelegs so
rs to obtain a better purchase. When
he has reached the truflie, however, the
gatherer steps in and with an iron prong
disengages it from the soil. He gen
orally manages to save it from the
hungry jaws of his agile auxiliary, but
sometimes the pig will seize it and run
off, the gatherer pursuing. After much
grunting and resistance, however, the
animal is intimidated into giving up his
prey, and the grotesque struggle ends.
The gatherer is careful not to beat the
pig in case the latter might refuse his
lubute scENlCcS Ut DeCOIlc 100 ulSttubb-
full. The dog is also employed as an as
sistant in truffie gathering, the barboni
or barbet dogs of the Milanese and
Piedmont being regarded as the best.
Their use in this way also originated in
Italy.
At one time in the German courts
"truffle hunting" was quite fashion.
But where the truffle is largely Guilt
waited as lucrative product the pig is
generally preferred on various accounts.
He has'greater force of snout, and can
dig up hard ground better, being three
fourths of the work of excavation. The
dog is sooner fatgGed, is less steady at
his work, and often wounds his paws i'll
scraping out the stony or compact
ground; besides, he leaves his master
more to do. Still, the dog is found
valuable aid to the poachers of trufiies.
These men, living by fraud, are obliged
to extend pretty widely the field OF their
operations, train the dogs just to mark
with their paws the place where truf-
iles are to be found.-Loadon STANDARD.

Corporations.

o, yes said an eminent legal man,
corporations are great institutions.
You We heard the story about two boys
who formed a corporationP' NO"
replied his friend. "Well, then I'll tell
YOU" resumed the legal gentleman.
" There were two boys who had cent
each, and they wanted to buy q two-cent
cigar. Neither could buy it alone, and
the elder of the two suggested that they
form corporation, of which he was
to be President and the other was to be
stakeholder The cigar was purchased
and the President began to smoke it.
The stakeholder looked on, expecting
that his puff would come, but the Presl-
dent consumed one-half and then two
thirds. Look here said the stockhold-
er, 'ain't going to have chanceP' i

In the town of Ledyard. Conn. n

In the town of Ledyard, Conn, are
fifty Quakers who own property. They
have scruples against oath taking, and
most of them will not even affirm. Last
year o law was passed making the penalty
accumulative for failure to return prop
erty lists, and these lists must be sworn
to or affirmed. Ten per cent. is added
for the first years neglect, twenty for the
second and so on. The Quakers must
therefore lose heavily or sacrifice prin-
ciple, unless the Legislature changes the
law, as it is asked to do.-New Haven
