a CLERGYMAS's EXPERIENCE WITH SAU-
sAGEs.-A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way to preach
funeral sermon in the country, called to
see one member of his, an old lady, who
had just been making sausages, and as
she felt very proud of them, insisted
on the minister taking some of the
links home to his family. After
wrapping the sausages in cloth the min
lister carefully placed the bundle in the
pocket of his great coat. Thus equipped,
he started for the funeral. While at
tending the solemn ceremonies of
the grave, some hungry dogs scented
the sausages, and were not long in tracking
them to the pocket of the good mans over
coat. Of course this was a great annoy-
ance, and he was several times under the
necessity of kicking the whelps away. The
obsequies OF the grave completed, the
minister and the congregation repaired
to the church, where the funeral dis
course was to be preached. After the
sermon was finished the minister halted
to make some remarks to his congrega-
ton, when brother, who wished to have
an appointment given out, assembled the
stairs of the pulpit, and gave the
minister's coat hitch to get his attention.
The divine, thinking it dog having de-
signs upon his pocket, raised his foot, gave
a kick and sent the good brother SPRAYING
down the steps. You will excuse me,

jumping the Game

The infstuating influence of the gambling
table is well illustrated in the following
extract from a letter in the St Louis Globe
Democrat
Senator Ncemith of Oregon, recently de
ceased, may be included within the cate
cory OF poker kings. 1t is related that he
played in game of poker on one occasion
at Portland, Oregon. continuously for six
weeks. Ben Holiday and RUFF Ingalls,
were in the same game. At the commence
mept of the seventh week it incidentally
occurred to Nesmith that he had left home
for only few days sujourn at Portland,
and had not provided his wife with suf-
ficient money TO last longer Perhaps she
wes starving, or had been forced to beg
food from neighbors. The thought was
maddening, and the longer he dwell upon
the possible condition in which his deserted
family might be placed through his infatua-
ton for poker-playing. the more moody he
became. He could stand the narrowing re-
Election no longer, and, rising from his seat,
exclaimed:
Gentlemen, you must excuse me.
am going straight home, possibly to find
Mrs NeSmith starved to death. ! left her
only $50 when | came away, expecting to
return in a week. Here have been play
ing poker for six long weeks and forgot all
about her. This is cruel. | am too
wretched to play longer. and must go home
at once. | am few hundred winner, ii is
true. but heaven grant that Mrs. Nesmith
is not cold corpse. If she is, it is my
accursed fault. and you are partly respon-
sible."
Ben Holiday, who would rather play
poker than eat, being loser on the game
became angry because his friend Nesmith
insisted upOn returning home He at once
blurted out in his rough way:
"Nesmith, don't believe a word Of your
Internal wife story. You're ahead and
want to jump the game. Why don't you
say so, like man, and not lay it on your
wife? You must take us for idiots
Great God rejoined Nesmith, Jump
the game jump the game when we have
been playing night and day for six long
weeks, adjourning only for few hours
sleep! How long do you expect man to
play before he may decently jump the
gamer Curse me if 1 ever play with such
poker hog as you again--you never know
when you have got enough, and your wife
might die and be buried hundred times
over before you would jump the game to
attend her funeral"
Away went Nesmith into towering pas
sion, while Rufe ingalls,, who knew Nes-
NTH was sincere in the matter, came near
strangling with suppressed laughter at Ben
Holidays impotent rage. The six weeks
game, therefore, broke up, and Ben Holli-
day swore the biggest kind of oaths that he
would get even with Nesmith some day for
jumping that game

counter In the white goods department Of =

noblenlan, with bewitching admiXture Of
the American dude. The very sight of him
was enough to conjure up halo Of romance

swell bellies can understand when say that
she seemed to be buying everything that
struck her fancy, that she was indeed pur-
chasing literally. But it was not possible,
thought, that visibly growing emotion on
the part OF the pretty clerk was due to the
magnitude of the sales. No: nothing di-
rectly connected with mere trade could have
so stirred the depths OF his delicate soul.
He got worse and worse. His hand quiz
cred, his eyes filled with tears, his replies
to her casual questions grew more incohe-
rent, and finally, with sigh that almost
rent his moderate bulk and grip of his
lntinitessjntal forehead between his tremb-
ling palms, he dashed out of the room.

matter with the fellow p | inquired of the
superintendent Of the department after he

WHY GLAcIERs TRAyEL.-Thc cause of
the movement of glaciers is still to some
extent a disputed question. 1t was for
merry claimed by some that ice is of Wis
cous nature, like tar, and flows under the
influence of grayitation, like any similar
substance; but experiments have shown
that, while ice can be bent in any direction,
it cannot be drawn out, but always breaks
when pulled apart. So when glacier falls
over a cliff, il does not flow smoothly over.
but is broken up into separate fragments,
which reunite again on reaching more
level part of the valley. II is probable that
the motion of q glacier is due TO the princi-
pie of regulation, and that the attraction of
gravitation and the pressure of the snow
and ice in the upper part of the glacier force
it along, while the ice is being continually
broken apart and pressed together again,
thus adapting itself to all tho windings and
inequalities Of the valley in which it flows
