Nearly Killed By a Chicken.

A strange story comes to us from
Point of Rocks. As one of the fast
trains stopped at the station the en-
gineer was found stunned and life
less, suffering apparently from q
blow on the head. A dead chicken
was found lying on the cab- The only
explanation that could be given was
that the chicken attempted to fly
across the track while the train was
running at high speed and came
in collision with The drivers head.
The latest news was that the unfort-
innate man had recovered conscious
ness, but that bis recovery was by
NO means assured.--Mail.

SELECTIONS.
SLEEPING In CHURCH.

Preachers have frequently resort
ed to odd and outlandish modes of
drawing attention to themselves or
their doctrine. says the Albany Press,
either by the performance Of some
mountebank trick in the gown, or
by some utterance or tale that was
all awry. The Rev. Daniel Burgess,
observing but small congregation
assembled one day, roared out, as
he entered the pulpit: "Fire fire /!

ened congregation instantly exclaim.

or, "to burn such wretches as regard
not the tidings of the gospel
In Charles lbs time there lived a
certain Nine. Creswell, whose char.
acter was VIGOROUSLY bad. She was
at last imprisoned IN Bridewell, and
as her death approached she desired
to have sermon preached at her
funeral, and left by her will $3.50 for
that purpose, only the preacher was
to say nothing except what was well
of her. The preacher gave a sermon
on mutability, and concluded: "By
the will of the deceased it is expect
ed that l should mention her and
say nothing except what is well OF
her. All that I have to say of her,
therefore, is this: She was born
well, she lived we'll, and she died
well; for she was born with the
name of Creswell; she lived in
Clerkenwell, and she died in Bride
WE'LL"
Some preachers have given illus.
trations in their pulpits which have
savored of acting. The Rev. Billy
Dawson was preaching about Da.
vid's encounter with Goliah, and,
after dramatically describing the
challenge of the Philistine and the
defence of David, he took out a
pocket handkerchief and made sling
of it, put in an imaginary stone and
flung it with such imaginary force
in reality that Sammy Hicks, the
village blacksmith, lost all control
over his feelings and shouted
"That's right, Billy; now, hoff with
his'ead !"

lection is the question which the denizens of
fever and ague districts ask themselves. The
answer comes from former sufferers who for
years have escaped the visitations of the peri
odic scourge, through the protecting influence
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When the me-
cessity for using preventive measures arises,
use this means or prevention at once. II regu-
lates the liver facilitates digestion, and liber-
ates Impurities from the system, when such
exist, by promoting healthful action of the
bowels and kidneys. Act early. In all regions
where miasmatic vapors breed disease, 1t is
absolutely necessary TO be provided with safe
guard and this is true, though asojourn In such
localities is destined to be brief No one can
afford to breathe malaria for a short time. The
