A Kansas church deacon said in prayer
meeting: Brethren and sisters, let US
pray for G. M. Smith and make q better

Norman Mcleod tells of rather glut-
tonous Presbyterian preacher who used to
look at the dinner before saying grace,
and if it was good one began, 'Bountiful
Jehovah" If it looked bad, "We are not,
o Lord, worthy of the least of thy mer-
cies."
Martin Luther's soul has gone marching
on in Germany during the last four CEN
turtles. His journey to Worms might per-
haps have been cheered if he could have
looked ahead and seen the emperor I'M
yelling statue in his honor on the fourth
centenary of his birth.
The Christian Register says that the late
President Chadbourne inquired of the sup
erintendent of the Massachusetts reform
school how many of the young criminals
there came from the farm. The superin-
tendent Investigated the matter and sent
HIM word: "There is not single boy here
whose father is or has been farmer"
A Tennessee clergyman vouches for the
truth of the statement that dog in his Vi
cinity crows like rooster. The case is
cited as remarkable proof of canine do
cility, and yet in Kentucky a dog would be
considered very poor specimen of his
species that could not be taught to preach
a better sermon than the average Tennes-
see clergyman.
"Away, them" said Prof. Parish to the
twenty-five young women to whom he was
giving diplomas, as graduates of the Phila-
delphia Woman's Medical college, with
the fallacious reasoning that woman may
with propriety devote her capabilities to
the study of the lily or the rose, the spider
or the beetle, but cannot study man, the
noblest work of God"
A Washington territory Indian, who
came to life as he was about to be buried,
claimed that he had an interview with the
great spirit, who told him that Virgins
is fraud. What many men will be at
loss to understand is this: Glow is it
that the great spirit of infinite love and
boundless kindness knows that Virgins
exists, and still permits him to cucumber
the earth?"
The island of Foula, about twenty miles
west of Shetland, and containing about
800 inhabitants, has been isolated by con-
tinuous storms from the mainland during
the whole of this year until Saturday,
with provisions. The people were found
to be in a terrible state of restitution, and
many of them must have been starved to
death but for this neighborly succor.
Lord Grandville's sister, Lady Georgiana
Fullerton, has made an appeal for old
clothes for the west of Ireland, where, she
says, in some cases women and children
- IL
ing. So far as Donegal is concerned, this
| reflects grave discredit on the, even at this

| which it forms a county. Lady Georgiana
| became a Roman Catholic. She is we'll
known as writer.
A hungry little girl was a begging in
Des Moines. A man dropped fve-cent
piece into her hand. A tramp came along
and told the child he had eaten nothing in
a week, and so impressed her with his
greater distress that she forgot her own
and gave him the coin. Then he went to
the nearest groggery and bought glass
of whisky. The climax of the story is a
tremendous whipping, given to the tramp
by the original donor of the nickel.
The ancients knew great deal for which
they get very little credit. A short time
ago collection of surgical instruments
was dug up at Pompeii. 1t is evidently
the property of some single establishment
and was quite elaborate. Of course the
Sind" was removed to the Naples museum
One of the appliances attracted great at
tention. 1t was long rod with metallic
plate fixed at one end at an angle of 1876
degrees. At first it was thought to be &
cautery for internal operations, but its re-
semblance to the modern laryngeal mirror
suggests the probability that it was so
! used.
