Two Singular Men.

A stranger with long hair, white
coat, white hat with Grape band and
| other evidences of lunacy, entered a
Griswold street restaurant and said to
| the proprietor:
"Sir, let me explain in advance that
am singular man"
"All right, sir. A singular mans Or
der is as good as any one else's."
Il want six oysters on the halfshell
on the left-hand half, if You please"
The oysters were opened and placed
before him, and when he had devoured
them he said:
"Now take SIX oysters, run them
through a clothes-wringer to remove the
dampness, and fry them for me in olive
oil"
This order was also filled, when he
called for cup of salt and water, add
ed milk and sugar and drank it down
and asked for his bill
II also desire to explain in advance
that l am singular man." replied the
proprietor.
Your bill is So"
"Impossiblel"
Just s., sir"
But that is monstrous
Perhaps it seems high, but that's
my singular way of charging for singu
lar lunches"
"I'll never pay it,"
Then I'll sadden your heart
The sad proceedings were about to
begin when the long haired man forked
over and walked out. The lesson
seemed to sink deep into his heart, for
he halted OF fruit store and, without
any explanations in advance, paid the
usual price for banana and carried it
off without asking the seller to dip the
ends in rose water.-Detroit Free

Cultivated Ferns.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
says many of the varieties may be cul
tivated, with very little trouble, in the
garden or ornamental grounds. Most
of them do best if planted where they
may have full, or partial shade; and if
the ground is naturally little cold or
moist, the north side of the house, or
the shade of shrubbery or board fence
is good situation to grow them. A
rockery supplies good facilities for
growing several species. At the base
those from the low lands find a place,
while higher up those from the hills
may be planted. Artificial rock-work
should be filed in between the stones
with earth not too far removed from
the natural soil in which the species
grew. Those coming from limestone
region will do all the better for having
a little mortar rubbish added to the
soil. After having shem once planted
and established they require very little
attention.
Two egg dealers of Tompkins county,
New York, have stored in their coolers
upward of 100000 dozens of eggs each,
bought during the summer, and which
are being held for higher prices.

6,528 200 sittings and representing valu-
alton of 500, S54, 121. The entire Metho-
dist population Of the world is estimated
at 25 ,472 $40.
This is the result of the Bible studies OF
two young men, sons of rector in the
Church of England, who passed their spare
hours while students at Oxford in learn
ing to interpret for themselves the grand
truths of the Old and New Testaments.
John Wesley was born in 1908 at Epworth,
Lincolnshire, where his fathers parish was
located. He and his brother Charles were
called 1.-The Methodists' by their college
companions, from their extreme propriety
Of conduct and methodical habits. These
two brothers, with about dozen of their
friends and pupils, passed their evenings
In reading the Greek Testament together.
and we're the nucleus of the great Metho-
dist denomination, living up to their con-
victions in spite Of the opposition of those
around.
John Wesley remained at Oxford until
1925, when, with his brother, he came on
mission to the Indians of Georgia, at
the request of Governor Ozlethorpe.-
Whitefeld, one of the little band at Ok
ford, at the same time commenced his
labors as an evangelist In England, and
afterward joined the Wesleys in their
American labors. The Wesleys returned
to England, formed society, and on May
l, 1888, commenced systematic work i'll
London before audiences of from five
thousand to fifteen thousand people. The
first conference was held in London in
1744, when the country was divided into
circuits. The chapels wer given in care
of trustees in 1749. In 1859 two missiona-
ries, Boadman and Pilmoor, were sent 10
America with Thomas Coke and Richard
Whatcoat.
In 1866 a number of Wesley's followers
who came to New York from England
and Ireland formed the first Methodist
society in this country in room in the
house Of Philip Embury, of Ireland, who
was their first local preacher. They after
ward hired loft in William street, and
when the congregation outgrew that loca-
ton they purchased lots In John street
and erected a house of worship. which
they called Wesley Chapel, in 1885, the
Rev. Philip Embury preaching the first
sermon October 80, in that year. Their
6rst Conference was held in Philadelphia.
July 4, 1773, and in 1884 DR.. Coke called

country, who assembled in Baltimore,

pal Church of America was organized as

popularity did indeed increase with tho
knowledge of her art. but it was mark

try, on the other hand, began like rocket
and compl eted the simile. She drew $751;
765 the FIRST week she appeared here, but
she never touched that total again.
She descended almost steadily to
5000, her smallest weekly takings. In
the contest and comparison between
art and beauty, art won. Mr.. Ir-
wing began by drawing fewer hearers not
only than Nine. Bernhardt, but even than
Mrs. Langtry. The totals for the first
month here Of each, were Nine. Bern
hardt, $9S,942; Mr.. Irving, $75, 6S7 Mrs.
Langtry, SOL ,S13. and it was only Mr.. r.
Wings later weeks which enabled him to
mako this showing as compared with Mrs
Langtry. At first the beauty surpassed
the artist. But In the event Mr.. Irving
surpassed both the beauty and the artist
Mrs. Langtry's total earnings were $685.
663. Nine. Bernhardt.s are stated to have
been $500 900 for 26 weeks, an average Of
$2,l4 for 181 performances. Mr.. Irving's
are given as $405, 6O4, or an average OF
$2,241. MIR. Irving thus begun with q
qualified success and ended by eclipsing
the highest standard of contem pOrary
competition by which it was possible to
try him. It is submitted that the truth
is more favorable and more creditable to
Mr.. Irving the unreasoning assertions
that his American career was ''phenome-
nal," unprecedented" &c. How false
that appears from.a comparison between
him and the great Rachel. She appeared
50 times In New York and Boston In
1866, aud the total receipts were 269 ,242f.
Mr.. Irving's greatest success was per
, haps in Boston. In one week he played
there to $1,000 hearers. something which
he never did before. The weeks receipts
| were $27, O87. All the credit should not.
however, be given to Mr.. Irving. as
might appear il there were materials for
comparing the plays in which Miss Terry
did and did not appear. Tho generous
| trlburs which ne pzld ner on Saturday she
deserved. He won his American success
by his intelligence. The triumph of her
personality was easy and Immediate. 1t is
only fair to judge Mr.. Irving by the en-
semble which he offered for judgment.

trimmings of brown stone, and has

trace. The interior compares favorably

During the late illness OF his wife. Mr..
Astor,s time was chiefly devoted to cheer
ing her weary hours at the bedside with
the same untiring affection he has shown
throughout the many years of his married
life. His principal recreatlons are visits
