An Erie (Pa.) paper prints a story
about minister in Mercer who cured a
dog of paralysis by praying over it for
an hour. We don't doubt it. A pra yer
an hour long, by some preachers,
would make wooden dog get up and
walk. The only wonder is how the
Mercer parson could stand it so long
himself. Darlington Ha,okeye.
The most gauzy story ever presented
to the credulity of the American public,
says the San Francisco Post, is that in q
recent stage robbery in Montana an
editor who was passenger was
robbed of $3.50, and had 5000 that was
not taken. The inside facts are that he
had the $1.50 in the toe of his sock and
the 5000 in his mind.
A hungry countryman was explor-
ing one of the quiet lanes in the city for
a dinner, when his ears were saluted
by shrill voice from an eating-house,
which uttered in rapid tones the follow
ing incomprehensive jargon: Billed
Rosemuttonantaters = Biledlamancab-
bagevegetables = Walkinsirtakeaseat-
SIR" The astonished man fastened his
pace in order to find a house where
they spoke English.-M Y. Graphic.
Once upon time abelated traveller
applied for shelter at farmhouse in
rather a wild part of New England,
and after being taken care of for the
night, was invited to join the family at
morning prayers. The host prayed
with due fervor for the stranger within
his gates, and also that his own sons
might be like two hemispheres. The
guest, failing to comprehend his exact
meaning, ventured to ask it later on.
The good farmer looked a bit puzzled,
said he didn't exactly know, and after
a moments hesitation said: .But / guess
it's pretty good word. amt it P"-

An orange-seller, the other day,
found bad specimen among his fruit
and carelessly tossed it away. It struck
an old woman in the eye, and she made
such fuss over the accident that the
man gave her dozen good oranges to
90 her way in peace. She had scarcely
left when a sharp-looking boy about
twelve years of age slid up to the fruit
seller and said: aAre you going to hit
any more old women to-dayP'' s.Why,
no, not if / can help il" was the reply.
'1f you are, give me chance" con-
tinued the lad. "Pll bring my mother
down here, and you may hit her in both
eyes for half the oranges you gave that
other woman. and if that isn't fair you
can have a shot ct dad and me. Cat

The keeper of New York prison
charges prisoners fifteen dollars week
board. He must be laboring under the
idea that the prison is summer resort
hotel. Such an outrageous charge is
enough to induce a poor man to lead
an upright life and not patronize his
old Norristos0n Herald.

Williams accounts for this curious
phenomenon by supposfng that the

heyes that the surfuce temperature
OF the bright side of the moon must
be about 600 degrees. OF course
the dark side must be intensely cold.
