A good story is told in New York Of
the welLknowh lawyer, Francis ID.
Bangs. Mr.. Bangs, so the story runs,
went once or twice 10 hear X. Heber
Newton preach. He was favorably i'm
pressed, and engaged TWO Pews for him
self and family as regular attendants.
Shortly afterwards some Of his friends
in the church combined to elect him
vestrymaD. He accepted the matter as
a compliment without understanding
anything Of the duties Of the position.
Several Sundays afterward he was star
tied one night by having the contribu-
ton plate thrust into his hand, with the
request to pass IL. He begged to be let
of, but the sexton told him he was the
only vestryman present. "How much
does .he contribution come tor" asked
Mr.. Bangs. "About $20," was the re-
ply. Mr.. Bangs pulled $50 bill out Of
his pocket, laid 1t on the plate, and said
that ought to be enough and he guessed
the plate need not 60 around for this
time. "Yes, but Brother Bangs" said
the sexton, "you don't understand; all
these people here want to give their
mites for the support Of the Gospel"
"Brother Bangs" heayed a sigh and
marched forth 10 do his duty. He left
the bill on the plate, and there was s
fire in his eye that said to the worship
pers that they had better not trine with
the vestryman, but put in their pile and
be done with it.. The vestryman does
better now, as he has son who does
duty for Chicago Tribune.

Every physician must have q skeleton
as part Of his outfit, and therefore this
preparation IL an important feature In
the profession, says q New York corre-
spondent. The students Of the medical
college have neither the time nor the
facilities for such work, and hence IL
naturally falls into the hands Of the jan
itor. Skeletons are with him an article
OF merchandise, the quotations being
$50 for a very fine specimen, while an
ordinary article IL offered for $50. The
important but difficult task IL to clean
the bones without marring them or
leaving the mark Of the knife. IL 10 not
necessary TO tell how this Is done, but
the process Is very simple. Each jani-
tor may get up twenty-five skeletons In
a season, sometimes more. This forms
a very important perquisi.e, and, In
deed, II rightly improved, his berth can
be made very profitable. There is con-
slant importation Of skeletons from
Paris, which Is carried on by the dealers
in surgical instruments. The French
have the art Of whitening the bones ia
a way never attained Ia this country,
and the price 10 generally from tC0 10
800. The Partisan establishments excel
In turning the best skeleton Of children,
and even Of infants, and some Of the
latter look like dear little doll skeletons,
that one might want 10 dancIe on his
knee or rock in the cradle. They are
very cunning-Iooking things, these dear
little baby skeletons.

AYERS SarsqpanM

Is the only remedy that can be relied upon,
in all cases, to eradicate the taint Of hered-
itary disease and the special corruptions
of the blood. 1t Is the only Alternative
that is sufficiently powerful to thoroughly
cleanse the system of Scrofulous and
Mercurial impurities and the pollution
of Contagious Diseases. 1t also neu-
tralizes the poisons left by Diphtheria
and Scarlet Fever, and enables rapid
recuperation from the enfeeblement and
debility caused by these diseases.

Pale lay the Frost. and paler
The cheek that felt his kiss,
As young bride doth veil her,
She yelled her brows with this.
Silent the withered garden,
Strewed with the Frost Kings peh
Save where the owl. her warden,
Hooteth to cheer himself.
Testing the high and lowly,
Seeking for one most pure
Only a maiden holy
The frost-kiss might endure.
Comes the still one and fingers
Over the blooming bed,
Touching with eager fingers
Every unguarded head.
All the impassioned flowers,
Scared by his searching breath.
Blackened within their bowers,
In the quick throes Of death.
Sanity, and still. and queenly,
Stands the white maiden there,
Wearing his gifts serenely
As maids their jewels wear.

Watch through the waning night.

THE matter fact statistician has
gone so far as to collect data and com
plete figures about American jokes.
For instance, he shows that the stove
pipe joke, which brought out 80, lG9
paragraphs during the year 1860, had
in 20 years fallen to only $50 par
agraphs per year. while for the five
monrhs of the present year only II have
been perpetrated. Here are some of
the figures for last year: Mother-in-
law joke, 1887 paragraphs; dude,
500; big hat at the theater, l,2G2;
clearinghouse hash, 3,l12; Chicago
girls feet, 1925 (; editor and poet,
3,265 plumber, 9,671, and last. and
by all odds greatest, the skating rink,
2l4, 1868 paragraphs. During the pres
ent year all these figures show an i'm
mense falling off, in mauy cases as
great as 70 per cent, from which fact
the statician, true to his instinct, argues
the decadence of American humor and
the falling off in the humor of humor-
lists.

CAUSE or Observation-Disclosures
Prestwich, of the University Of Oxford,
argues that the earth must consist Of a
solid nucleus, surrounded by molten
stratum of no great thickness, which
i'll turn is enclosed by q crust which
NAV be less than 20 miles III thickness.
He does not regard the expansion OF
which can hardly penetrate to
a greater depth than seven or eight
miles-as a primary cause for vol
canic action. The presence of aqueous
vapor is due alone to the surface and
underground waters encountered by
the lava in its passage to the surface,
and while it adds greatly to their
violence, it does not originate the
eruptions. The contraction OF the
earth from cooling, slow though it be,
is sufficient to account for the forcing
out of lava, Cordier having long since
calculated that FIVE volcanic eruptions
annually would shorten the earth's
radius only about 1-25th Of an inch in

What We say shall be said for these
antediluvian relics unless it be that
they still retain their gift Of prophecy
and like BALKAN, are compelled to
speak the truth against their will as
they do when they say further:
Jefferson City with all her faults
and they may be numerous-is an
historic spot, consecrated by the hal
lowed memories of the past, and dedi-
Gated to state occupancy of the wis
dom of its fathers. 1t may be weak,
here and there, from unconsidered in
diligence in oleomsrgarine and adhe-
sive beefsteak, but it is the grandest
site to-day for a state capital, and the
people would find themselves lonesome
without it.
But the spirit of perversion seems
to have triumphed in poor Eph's heart
when be succeeded in turning Sedalia
into frog pond" and asserting in
double enteDdrethat "as for its railroad
facilities, they will not surpass those of
Jefferson City in the next four years.
What Jefferson City's railroad ia
cilities may be in four years can cut
but little figure with what they are,
and could it do so the only certain eri-
terion as to their future condition, must
be drawn from their present dicontion
and that is not much more promising
than the prospect that still another of
Rome's seven hills will be dumped
into goose bottom to quell the cIamor
of their own frogs and add to the num-
Der of their catacombs.
