How Found Hiz Room.


A young fellow from the south, after
some Office, told me that he had fallen
In with a gentleman who was among the
first rewarded under the new regime.
This gentleman, being Of q social turn,
at nightfall asked his companions to take
drink. Several times this invitation
was repeated, until the Jolly fellow
thought it time to 60 home He had
forgotten where he lived exactly, but he
knew the street. After vain attempts to
locate his boarding house he remembered
there was a butchers shop opposite his
place and that the butcher knew him.
After trying numerous shops without
success they hit upon the right one.
Having found the house and entered
with difficulty, the Jolly fellow did not
recOllect his room g number or position.
At last he said to his soberer companion
''If you can find a room with a man
asleep IN his boots on the sofa and an
empty whisky bottle on the table,
that's my room. Every Saturday night
my roommate takes that reCumbent at
titude." Search was made and IN one
apartment, sure enough, such condition
Of affairs existed The Jolly fellow took
up the empty bottle, examined, and
dropped it with sigh. He gazed at the
snoring, stupetied man on the sofa, and
then flung himself on the bed, boots and
all. What temperance sermon must
the blessed Sunday light as it crept into
that booty LAIR have preached to the two
men with sWellsd heads and aching
brains, as they looked at one another.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Mcpherson Freeman: Mcpherson
seems to be a fortunate place for minis,
ters. The last two Methodist ministers
who have filed the pulpit here were pro
noted to the Office Of presiding elder, and
the last one to fill the Congregational
/ pulpit was called to Baltimore at $4,000
a year, while the wife of the late pastor
| of the Presbyterian church is one Of the
direct heirs to a large estate In New
York City.
Stockton Net0s: The new Christian
church, at Plainviile, is rapidly assuming
shape. The building is frame .24x36
feet. The congregation at that place
only numbers about ten members, who
must be pretty we'll endowed with 90 grace,
grit and greenbacks' or have great faith
In the Lord and their neighbors, TO build
such a house.

The first NJ. E. church, at Topeka, is a
liberal church. They have paid church

S12,2 This includes, besides current
expenses and regular collections, about
$1,000, paid on the Episcopal residence
and improvements on parsonage.

The place known as ''The valley Of
death, or ''the poison valley, is on the
island Of Java 1t is-the most remark
able natural example Of an atmosphere
loaded with carbOnic acid gas in eZis-
tence. 1t has never been fully explor-
ed, because Of the danger Of remaining
more than few moments IN its poison
GUS atmosphere. It is hollow, near
the summit Of a mountain range, only to
be reached by a long climb up the hill
side Approached through an opening
between the hills it is seen 10 be an oval
shaped valley, about half a mile across.
1t is about thirty-five feet deep, the bot
tom is hard and sandy, without vegeta-
ton, and streWn with many large
stones. Throughout, the surface iB al
most covered with the bleaching bones
Of animals, tigers, pigs, deer and others,
all kinds OF birds, and also Of human
beings. Explorers Of the valley seldom
venture beyond the borders, though 1t
has been proved that the deadly air
does not Immediately effect human be-
mgs. This Is because the carbOnie acid
gas, being heavier than the atmosphere,
settles to the bottom Of the valley. Dogs
and fowls thrown into It fall senseless
instantly and die In few minutes. No
eraters or assures are visible on the
floor Of this valley, and It is thought
that the openings are near the base Of
the rocky hills surrounding.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A correspondent Of the Poultry World
has this to say about the chicken bust
ness: Among the now considered small
interests OF the south is that Of poultry.
A chicken man In the south is laughed
at by his neighbOrs, and considered as
either drunk or a fool A chicken man
in the north and west is a lord. The man
In the south who pays So for plymouth
Rock rooster is ready for the insane asy-
lum, while the fanciers Of the north and
the west think no more Of giving $50 to
$50 for a chicken than a Georgia cracker
thinks of drinking quart Of sweet milk
day. Men all over the north and west are
daily counting money by raising chickens
"a little business During my travels
In Massachusetts, and Indiana last sum
mer L sat down to meat, with at least
three chicken men who amassed fortunes
by raising poultry, both for fancy and
for market"
The average sheep men still cling to
washing sheep. Did it ever occur to such
that no fleece was ever washed clean
enough on the farm to fit it for the manu-
facturer? Did it ever present itself for
chilly that the yOlk Of the heeces was it's
preserVer from injury soap, In fact,
mixed with a considerable amount Of
fixed oil. This preserves the elasticity
OF the fleece. When thoroughly washed
the fleece becomes dry and brittle and
loses its elastic qualities. Again, un-
washed wool is said never to be infested
with the MOTH which destroys the value
Of wool Washing gets out a certain
amount Of yolk, but not enough to really
increase the value Of the wool to the
manufacture, since in drying the wool
catches much dirt and gEit. Yet the buy
ers VIII always try to convince the owner
Of unwashed wool that it Is worth less
than washed, but the quality being all
right he buys It.
The daughter Of a rich widoWsr In
Holland fs4 IN love with one OF her
fathers young clerks. AS the youth

man favored the suit. The clerk how
ever, put an end to the match by dis
closing that he was only poor girl
who had taken on male disguise as a
means OF earning a livelihood. The cid
man having set ms heart on a wedding
accomplished that purpose by marrying
her himself The story does not 20 to
