The Men With the Pig.

A few days ago two men, who were
afterwards found to be Detroiters, ar
rived in a town about fifty miles to the
west of this, leading pig. 1t was per-
haps big enough and heavy enough to
be called a hog, but they termed it a pig,
and as they turned it over to the care of
the landlord atwhose inn they proposed
to rest for the night one of the men ex-
planned:
''Be awful careful with that pig. He's
daisy-a new breed just from Scot
land. We've sold him to farmer out
here for $50, and we don't want any
thing to happen to him."
The landlord locked the pig up and
then began to think and cogftate and
suspect. When the strangers had gone
to bed he called in some of the bows
and said:
ave twigged the racket; them two
fellows are sharpers, and that's q
guessing pig. Tomorrow they will
give you chance to guess at his
weight at ten cents a guess, and you'll
be cleaned out-only you won't! AS
the fellows sleep we will weigh their
pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was taken
over to the scales and weighed. He
pulled down 10 pounds to hair, and
the villagers went home and hunted up
their nickels and dreamed of pigs and
scales and sharpers through the re-
mainder of the night.
Next morning the pig was led around
in front, and before starting off on his
journey, one of the owners remarked to
the assembled crowd:
Gentlemen, I'm going to weigh this
pig directly. Maybe some of you would
like to guess on his weight? I'll take
all guesses at ten cents each, and who
ever hits it gets fifty cents"
This provoked a large and selected
stock of winks and smiles, but no one
walked up until the pig man said that
any one person could guess as many
times as he cared to, provided dime
accompanied each guess. Then rush
set in. Three or four merchants put
up fifty guesses each. A justice of the
peace took thirty. A lawyer said about
twenty would do for him Before there
was any let up in the guessing about
600 had been registered and paid for.
T@FeIy souI VI 6u gu6SSeu dt l1U pounus.
1t was curious what unanimity there
was in the guessing, but the pig men
didn't seem to notice it. When all had
| been given chance the pig was led to
| the scales, and 10! his weight was ex-
actly ia pounds!
''You see, gentlemen" explained the
| spokesman, while this animal only
| weighs 10 pounds along about eleven
o'clock at night, we feed him about five
pounds of corn-meal in the morning
before weighing! You forgot to take
this matter into consideration
Then somebody kicked the landlord
and he kicked the justice, and the just
ice kicked merchant, and when the
pig men looked back from distant hill
the whole town was out kicking itself
and throwing empty wallets into the
river. er.-Detr0it Free Press.

She Took Him.

At eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon
couple of excursionists took seats on
the east portico of the City Hall, directly
under the window of the Chief of Po-
lice. He was bean-pole looking chap
of twenty-three, with dust an inch deep
on his back, and she was an auburn
haired angel of twenty, wearing a solid
shoe, and chewing three quids of gum
rolled into one. For long time they
sat and looked at the fountains and
sighed and were silent. Then he ten
derly queried:
"Hanner, isn't it dreamy ?"
"Yum," she answered.

pered.

More silence and sighs, and then he
took her elbow in his hand and said:
"Hanner, I'm hungry now"
"Didn't you bring q biscuit along ?''

The recent Methodist Conference
in Philadelphia has enacted that minis
ters of all colored churches in Della
ware and Iowa and other Northern
States shall be permitted to join the
conference in which they are geograph-
ically situated
The English Wesleyan Missionary
Society, whose anniversary has recently
been held, reported an income of

missionaries and assistants, II, ,984

School pupils. lssFb
The twenty ninth annual session of
the Southern Baptist Convention met
in Baltimore recently. Reports showed
that Ia missionaries labored at 33S
churches and stations. The Sunday
Schools number 145 teachers and 4, 100
pupils. The money expended was about
$48,000. The increase in laborers was
fifty per cent.
The total annual school income per
year as reported for all States and Ter
ritories, is $88, 142, ,088; the total expen-
diture, $85, Ill, 442. Total estimated
real value of sites, buildings and all

This is the report made by q pastor
of the membership Of his church:
Two-thirds of the members of my
church are honorary members. They
don't come to prayer meetings; they
don't attend Sabbath School; they don't
add to the life of the church; they are
passengers on the Gospel ship; they
bear no burdens; add no strength;
their names are on our books; they are
honorary members. - Bdpttst Weekgy.

sion work was aptly illustrated by

Serpent Worship.

Tt has been suggested, and appar.
ertly with some reason, SAYS Mr.. Cor
don Cumming, that in ancient pagan
times it may have been a recognized
symbol in serpent worship, and hence
may have arisen its common use as a
charm against all manner of evil. The
resemblance is obvious, more especially
to the species of harmless snake which
is rounded at both ends, so that head
and tail are apparently just alike. The
creature moves backward or forward
at pleasure; hence the old belief that it
actually had two heads and was inde-
struetible, as even when cut in two
parts it was supposed that the divided
heads would seek one another and re-
unite. It stands to reason that in a
snake-worshipping community such a
creature would be held in high rever-
ence. Even in Scotland, various an.
cient snake-like bracelets and orna-
ments have been found which seems to
favor this theory; and at a very early
period both snakes and horseshoes seem
to have been engraVen as symbols on
sacred stones. We hear of the latter
uoFiuS bS0u SCulptur0us nOL only on tho
threshold of Old London houses, but
even on that of ancient churches in
various parts of Britain And in the
present day we all know the idea of
luck connected with finding one, and
how constantly they are nailed up on
houses, stables and ships as charm
against witchcraft. In Scotland, all
parts of England and Wales, and es-
pecially in Cornwall (where not only
on vans and omnibuses, but sometimes
even on the gates of the old jails,) we
may find this curious trace of ancient
superstition. Whatever may have been
its origin, it is certainly remarkable
that it should survive both in Britain
and in Hindostan. London Spectator.
