Gathering in the L,ambs.

Little P--is learning a great deal at
Sunday-school now. The figure of the
shepherd folding his lambs in his bosom
has particularly impressed his childish
imagination, and his tendency to recur
to 1t in conversation was accepted az
proof that his lessons were sinking
deep into his heart.
"Do you know how the shepherd puts
his lambs in his bosomY he asked his
sister yesterday.
"Why, yes said she, "he just takes
them and puts them there
but he has to kill EN- and cook 'em
first" said little P.
"Cook them?"
"Yes, and he eats 'em, and then he
has 'em in his bosomln
And the boy stroked his chest and
stomach downward in a way that left
no room to doubt his appreciation Of
his own theory as to the proper way to
gather lambs into ones bosom.

The Captain Turned Preacher.

A lady who was actively ecgaged
in distribution Of the holy scrip
lures and religious tracts went on
enc occasion to the quay at Ply
mouth and requested permission OF
captain 10 60 on board q man-of
war, in which were about eight hun
dred men and many dissipated fe-
males.
The captain said, MADAM, it will
be of no avail; you will only meet
with abuse"
"She answered, with your leave
1 will 60"
Certainly, madam" he replied
And she went.
Something occurred during the
time which irritated the captain
who swore n dreadful oath.
The lady said, "Sir, as you have
granted me one favor, l hope you
will confer another"
Certainly, madam," was the cap
taIn's reply.
at is, then sir, that yeu will
please to keep FROM swearing while
I am on your ship"
This he complied with. After
the lady had gone round the ship
and given sway some tracts (and,

Sorghum as a Fodder Crop.

The probability that sugar will
be made from sorghum with profit
IN the near future, makes it desira-
BILE that it should be cultivated, if
only for fodder, until farmers be-
come expert in its culture. AS a
fodder crop ii is one of the best
that can be grown. The excessive
sweetness OF the stalks make them
palatable for cows and experience
has shown them to be highly pro-
ductive of milk. The crop is grown
as easily as corn, and when desired
for soi.ing, the stalks may be cut
when half grown and left to spreut
for a second crop. The seed is
quite small and is best sown in rows
with a common hand drill, such as
is used for sowing mangels or beets
or other small seeds. The rows
should be three feet apart and the
plants may stand-for fodder-a
foot or less apart in the rows. The
cultivation is precisely the same as
tor corn. A light, warm, sandy
soil is preferable and any artificial
fertilizer suitable for corn is better
than yard manure.-America Ag-
riculturist.

Baptizinp the Wrong Woman.

Baptizings are Sunday morning

says the Sunny South, and each
congregation, in succession, wit
nesses the immersion OF the con-
verts made during the past winter.
Hymns are sung and every one ap-
pears animated by religious zeal.
On one occasion, so the story goes,
a worthy colored woman with Gull
nary tastes got so interested that
she unconsciously pushed up to the
minister, and he, regarding her as
one of his flock, seized her. She
resisted but the minister imagined
that she was merely afraid of the
GOODNESS Of the water, so before she
could explain the situation he sous
ed her. She came up sputtering
and she exclaimed: "What you
doin'? Lemme go, l tell youl" But
be exerted his strength and sent
her "kerchuck" below the surface
again. She emerged, clawing the
air wildly, and shouting, "Gway
from here! Don't you chuck me
under ag'in, you niger" But the
clergyman was memorable and he
plunged her under a third time and
held her there for a minute SO as to
let it soak in and do her good.
Then she came up and struck for

Keeping The head PERFECTLY cles

Keeping the head perfectly Giles n
has heen observed as contribute e
much to the prever tion of disease.
1t is stated, on t. e authority of a
distinguished quarantine physician,
that a person whose head is washed
thoroughly ever day, rarely takes
contagious diseases, hut when the
hair becomes dirty and mattel it is
hardly possible to escape infection.
Nervous headache is sometimes
speedily relieved by simply wash
lug the head in weak soda water.
"ROso cold'' has been known to
to yield completely to a thorough
washing of the hair.
