a certain courtroom in this state once
on a time the proceedings were de-

Sarah Mony to arrive. After waiting
long time. for Sarah the court con-
cluded to wait no longer, and wishing
to crack his little joke, remarked:
This court will adjourn without

Everybody laughed except one
man, who sat in solemn meditation for
five minutes, and then burst into
hearty guffaw, exclaiming: 81 see it

When he went home he tried to tell

Sam Jones, the Reviva ist.

Sam Jones was born in Alabama
about the year l847. In his youth
his parents moved to Georgia, where
he was brought up. He comes of a
family of Methodist preachers, but in
his youth was wild and dissipated. He
studied law, and had just entered upon
the practice of his profession when
his father died. The old gentleman,
who was a most sincere, God fearing
man, on his death.bed urged his son
to repentance, AMI the young man
dates his conversion from that hour,
Having forsaken his dissipatet habits
and his wild companions, he also de-
cided to give up the profession of the
law and enter the ministry. He was
first licensed to preach by the Atlanta
conference in 1872, and since that
time he has preached with great sue
cess and conducted reviyas in nearly
every city in the South and Southwest.
Shortly after entering upon his career
as an evangelist Mr.. Jones married
Miss Laura McElwain of Eminence

The Rite Of "Suttee,"

Since the advent of the British into

tee, which condemned to be burnt
along with her husband his widows,
has been prevented; and though, even
at this day, Hindostani burning is a
sight by no means pleasant, it was
much more fearful when along with
the burning dead husband were burned

A Fair.Minded Cat.

81 once had a cat who always sat IN
TO the dinner table with HE, and had
bis napkin round his neck, and his
plate and some fish. lie used his paw,
of course, but he was very particular,
and behaved with extraordinary de-
corum. When he had finished his fish
l sometimes gave him a piece of mine.
"One day he was not to be found
when the dinner bell rang, so we be-
gan without him. Just rs the plates
were put round for tho entree, puss
came rushing up stairs and sprang
into his chair, with two mice in his
mouth. Before he could be stopped he
dropped mouse on his own plate, and
then one on mine. He divided his

sI06.000,00O. There are 1864 societies,
with about 100000 members, repre-.
senting heads of families, making in
all 2,750,000 people. The sales for the
year 1882 were Sl30,000OO0; profits,
$lO,OO0,O00; capital. 100000. The
increase of capital in ten years was
100 per cent. The cooperative manual
which furnishes these figures goes into
vast amount of detail to show the
operations of these societies. The
movement took its present shape in
1864, when the membership was II.
5O0. In four years the membership
was $4,000; in seven years, ll5,00O.
The movement took wholesale proper
tlons very early. In 1888 the dry
goods branch of the business involved
a capital of sl.000,0OO. Furniture
was dealt in, butter agencies were
opened in Ireland and houses were
opened in Hamburg and Copenhagen
for the transaction of business. The
societies have now their own fleet.
They have agencies in New York.
where in one year over $l00,0O0000
was handled. They have detots at

and they insure their own property.
They make crackers. boots and

Great Salt Lake,

Great Salt Lake Is in fact not q
branch of the Sea at all, but mere
shrunken remnant of very large
fresh water lake system, like that of
the still existing st. Lawrence chain.
Once upon time American biologists
say huge sheet of water, for which
they have even invented definite
name. Lake Bonneville, occupied a
far larger valley among the outliers of
the Rocky Mountains, measuring 300
miles in one direction by 1870 miles in
the other. Beside this primitive Su-
perior lay a great second sheet-an
early Huron-(Lake Lahontan the
geologists call it) almost as big and
OF equally fresh water BY and by
the precise dates are necessarily indefi-
nite--some change in the rainfall, un-
registered by any contemporary, made
the waters of the big lakes shrink and
evaporate. Lake Lahontan shrank
away like Alice in Wonderland, till
there was absolutely nothing left of it;
Lake Bonneville shrank till it attained
the diminished size Of the existing
Great Salt Lake. Terrace after ter
race, running in long parallel lines on
the sides of the Wahsatch Mountains
around, mark the various levels at
which it rested for a while on its grad
ual downward course. 1t Is still fall
ing indeed, and the plain around is be-
ing gradually uncovered, forming the
white, salt-encrusted shore with which
all visitors to the Mormon city aA so
familiar. But why should the water
have become briny? Why should the
evaporation of an old Superior pro.
duce at last "a Great Salt Lake? Well,
there is a small quantity Of salt in
solution even in the freshest of lakes
and ponds, brought down to them by
the streams or rivers, and, as the water
of the hypothetical Lake Bonneville
slowly evaporated, the salt and other
mineral constituents remained behind.
Thus the solution grew constantly
more and more concentrated till at the
present day it is extremely saline.
Prof. Geikie Ito whose work the pres
ent paper is much indebted) found
that he floated on the water in spite of
himself; and the under sides of the
steps at the bathing places are all en-.
encrusted with short stalactites Of
salt, produced from the drip of the
bathers as they leave the water. The
mineral constituents, however, differ
considerably in their proportions from
those found in true salt lakes of marine
origin, and the point at which salt is
thrown down is still far from having
been reached. Great Salt Lake must
simmer in the sun for many centuries
yet before the point arrives at which
Gas cooks say) it begins to settle

Below the Sea.

Deep in the bay the old church lies,
Beyond the storm-wind's power,
The waves that whelmed it ever play
In ripples round the tower.
And you look down through the tide
Many and many time
You may catch the glimmer of the stones,
Or hear the sweet bells chime!
For thoy that dwell deep in the sen,
Below the wind and rain,
The Mermen and the Mermaidcns,
Have built it up again!
They have made fast the ruined walls
With their immortal hands,
And strewn the aisle with red sea flowers,
And with the wet sea sands.
And when drifting boat comes lack
Rock shattered to the shore,
With never captain at the helm.
Nor sailor at the Oar,
Then down below the stormy fonm
The sweet old bells ring free,
They call upon til. mariners
That come no more from sea.
