Schenectady Star.

ChiIdren's day was celebrated in the
Methodist Church at Rexford Flats
recently, and the church was hand
somely decorated with flowers, while
numerous canaries in cages suspended
about the edifce added their sweet
music to the singing of the children.
One lady, not having a canary,
brought an accomplished, but not
genteel, parrot TO church. The par
rot behaved well for a time, but
finally when little boy of his &C
quaintance stood on the platform and
began recitation the bird commenced
to mock him, causing considerable
amusement to the congregation and
greatly annoying the boy. Finally
the parrot screened out: Hey, you
little devilw which had the effect of
completely breaking up the youthful
declaimer, and demoralizing the cons
gregation. The bird was led out of
the church in disgrace.

Hand-Shaking.

The etiquette of Misunderstanding is
simple. No man should assume to
take a lady's hand until it is offered.
A lady extends her hand and allows
the gentleman to take it. On intro
duction in a room married lady
generally shakes hands; young ladies
not often. In the ballroom, where
the introduction is for dancing, not
for friendship, never shake hands.
The more public the place OF intro
duction the less Misunderstanding takes
place.

If come here to swear profanely and tell the untruth, or not according to the facts of the case, I humbly beg the celestial and terres- trial spirits to redress Loi An Cows grievance and to punish the false wit ness immediately and to arrest his soul. May he die under a sword, or die on the halfway of the sea, and have no life to return to China.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Every man considers his own lot in life hardest.
 Any truth, faithfully faced, is strength in itself.
 Our thoughts of today, are our ac- tions of tomorrow.
 Do the truth you know and you shall learn the truth you need to know.
 There cannot be a more worthy i'm provement of friendship than in fer vent opposition to the sins of those we profess to love.
 Useful knowledge can have no ene- mics except the ignorant; it cherishes youth, delights the aged, is an orna- ment in prosperity, and yields comfort in adversity.
 It is injurious to be in hurry, and delay is often equally so; he is wise who does everything in proper time. Tardiness and precipitation are ex- tremes equally to be avoided.
 It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation. The slave may be free- man. The monarch may be slave. Situations are noble or ignoble, as we make them.

Monkeys Along n Railroad LIne.

The following story was related to a correspondent of the Madras (India) MaH by one who travels by rail almost every day: Between a place called Niddlvunda and Herebully there is large tope which is well known to be infested with host of monkeys. Having no other mode of occupying their dull hours, they are bent upon trying to destroy the Tum- kur line. It would appear that these animals. about fifty or sixty, form themselves systematically one-haif on one rail and tho other half on tho other. They begin by first removing the earth from the sides of the rails. Then they arrive at the difficulty of nuts and bolts, which, though they examine them very minutely, they cannot get over. On the approach of the up or down train they walt till the engine is within a few yards, when, with the utmost coolness, they simply jump on one side till the train has passed, and then resume their work. A remarkable instance occurred on one of these occasions. As the engine was approaching, tho monkeys made their usual jumps, with the exception of one, who persisted in remaining on the line, the engine by this time being very near. Five or six monkeys, sec ing the danger one of their number was in, made a sudden rush, dragging him of, some laying hold of him by the tail, others by the legs; anyhow. they saved him. They are now styled the Niddivunda gangmen by the guards and drivers.

The Arc dc TriOmphe.

The Arc de Triomphe in the Place de pEtoile, Paris, under which the re- mains of Victor Hugo lay in state, owes It's existence to Napoleon l., who decreed it's erection in 1906 to cele- brate the victories of the French under the republic and the empire. It is the largest triumphal arch in Europe, being 152 feet high, 137 feet broad and 68 feet deep. The height of the principal arch is 90 feet. Its cost was about $2,1O000O, and it was thirty years in completing, being finished in 1886. There are various groups of CO., lossal statuary, and Fame surmounts the whole, while History is occupied in recording his deeds. The interior is ascended by winding staircases. which lead into several large halls. After mounting 261 steps the top is reached, from which one of the best views of Paris is gained.

Savings of Rev. Sam Jones.

The following are some of the latest proverbs of the Rev. Sam Jones, whose reputation as a revivalist has rapidly spread over continents:
 would not let my cook go to a german. Dancing is nothing but hug ging set to music.
 "I have doubts" says one. Well, you just quit your meanness and you will quit your doubting.
 If man hasn't enough religion to pray in his family he hasn't enough to save his soul with.
 It's not so much when and where a man joins the church. It's all right, just so he sticks up to it.
 Be honest and pay your debts There are too many men in the church boarding with their wives.
 Get in the right attitude and faith will come. Bread is the gift of God, at the end of a plough handle.
 Have religion at home, train your children right, and no revival will be needed. Religion is catching.
 There is not man in Chattanooga who doesn't have family prayers that has got as much religion as goat.
 Twelve years ago consecrated my self to God, and since that time have never had an invitation to ball.
 A mans hates and his likes determ- inc character; a mans affinities de- termine what he is and who he is.
 There was never sinner in this town, however hoary headed, who would want the churches done away with.
 Do you think pale, weak looking fellow like me could preach four times day the year round if wasn't uplifted by the grace of God.
 In certain places they tell you if you want to get into society you must join our church. If you want to go to hell join that church. That is the plain English of it.
 If I could have my choice getting into heaven between church, Sunday school. prayer meetings and Q good mother, would take the latter and be sure of the better home above.
 God won't keep young lady piouS who has her waist encircled seven times week by a spider-legged dude.
 Sow billiards, reap fools. Sow cards reap gamblers. Sow whiskey. reaI drunkards. Sow germans, reap spider legs.
 The dude looks as if he was melted and poured into his pants.
 There's many fellow with W hite wash brush trying to clean up little before he goes to God.
