CHRISTIAN MEEKNESS.
How Unitarian Missionary Made a Most
Devoted Friend.


A story is told of the late Rev. Mr..
Dali, the Unitarian missionary to In
dia, which illustrates how he carried
Christian precepts into practice.
When he went to Baltimore as a
preacher he took a house where there
was good opportunity for garden,
and, being fond of flowers, he devoted
much leisure time to the cultivation of
the little spot. A woman lived next
door who, for some reason, conceived
an intense dislike for her neighbor and
missed no opportunity to annoy him.
Among other things, she persisted in
throwing refuse over the fence into
Mr. Dall's garden, greatly to its detri-
ment, despite his repeated protesta-
tions, couched in the friendliest words.
Mr. Dall's garden, however, tlourished
and finally blossomed. Gathering the
first flowers, which were exceptionally
beautiful, the minister made bouquet,
went to his neighbours door and asked
for the lady. She came with an aston
ished scowl but when he, with a friend
ly smile, extended his hand with the
flowers, begging her to accept the first
products of his garden, she was taken
aback. After that she was one of Mr..
Dall's most devoted frisnds.-M Y.

The following is placard in the

just returned from Egypt. He pro-
cured 1t at a cafe chantont IN Alexan-

the direction. During the repetitions
the price of consummations to be the
same that in every the others coffee"
With the aid of the parallel passages
in other languages the meaning is
found as follows: "All iced drinks one
piastre extra. All complaints should
be made at the Office. Notwithstanding
the performance the prices will be the
same rs those of other cafes. "--Man-

Number of Hairs in a Head.

An eminent German has undergone
the enormous labor of counting the
number of hairs in heads of four differ
ent colors. In blonde he found 140,-
400 hairs; in brown, 100, 440; in a
black, 1872, 962, and in red one, 49,
740 What the red and black heads
wanted in number of hairs was made
up, however, in the greater bulk of the
hairs individually, and in all probabili-
ty the scalps were all pretty equal in
weight 1t is to the fineness and null
tiplicity of hairs that blonde tresses
owe the rich color and siiklike charac-
ter of their flow, circumstance which
artists have so loved to dwell upon.-

NAMES FOR FAME.
Ludicrous Applications Bestowed Upon
Innocent Children by Silly Parents.

Ludicrous Applications Bestowed Upon
Innocent children by silly Parents.
OF all people perhaps the Southern
negro is the most noted for curious
names. This, no doubt, is due to the
fact that on attaining freedom they
sometimes took their former masters
surname, but more often adopted one
of their own selection. Hence they
were oftentimes ludicrous, at others
grandiloquent. An old woman near
Orangeburg, S. c., who has Il large
family. all with very long names,
may be regarded as a fair specimen.
Her oldest son has the short appel
lation of James Washington Scipio
Caesar Alfred June Louis Lynch; one
of her daughters, Ida Celesita Lovely
Vene Lovely Vine Susan Matilda Belle
Caroline Lynch; her youngest, Rebecca
Annabel Victoria Purity Little Sss
Medoria Lynch; and the others are
long, but not to be compared with
these.
Nor are some of the Caucasians be-
hind in this line. A young man of the
same South Carolina neighborhood rev.

all his uncles and grandfathers.
A well-known South Carolina doctor,
whose experience dates over twenty
five years of an extensive practice, and
who has, in consequence. been in con-
tact with many people of all classes,
said he knew of a young gent whose
delightful name was Gilbert Filbert
Fillmore Stansel Stanmore. He also
said that he was once attending
patient whose social status was not
upper ten, being rather of q moody
character. He had completed dag
nosis of the case and was preparing
the medicine. A little sallow, dirty,
clay-eating boy came in the door
gnawing biscuit He did not see the
doctor, and was soon absorbed in ex-
aiming the bottles in the medicine
chest. The doctor, placing his hand
on the boys head, asked: "What is

fellow looked up with an expression of
terror, and shot under bed.

They Were Near Sighted.

You seem to be very much attached
to your wife, as much so as if you
were enjoying your honeymoon in
stead Of being old married people"
said Smith to Brown.
The latter appeared somewhat con-
fused. He took of his eyeglasses,
rubbed them very carefully with q
handkerchief and replaced them on his
nose. What do you mean?" he asked.

night?" asked Brown.

Flies and the Declaration.

1t is wonderful how little matters
affect great deeds. I came across a
funny story as told by Randall, the
man who wrote the large biography of
Jefferson, which shows how the signing
of the Declaration of Independence was
FASTENED. Says he: while the ques-
ton of independence was before COM
gress it had its meetings neal a livery
stable. The members wore short
breaches and silk stockings, and with
handkerchief in hand they were dill
gently employed in lashing the flies off
their legs. So very vexatious was this
annoyance, and to so great an inn
patience did it arouse the sufferers, that
it fastened, if it did not aid, in induc-
ing them to promptly afix their sigma
lures to the great document which gave
birth to an empire Republic. This
anecdote / had from Mr.. Jefferson at
Monticello, who seemed to enjoy it
very much, as well as to give credit to
the influence of the flies. He told it
with much glee, and seemed to retain
q vivid recollection of an attack, from
which the only relief was signing the
paper and flying from the scene" The
State Department library is the richest
OF the offices of Washington in its
relics of tho Declaration. It has the
original draft of Jefferson, and the en-
crossed parchment signed by tho dele
gates. The two are in a big cherry or
mahogany cabinet. They are kept
behind glass, and the writing on the
parchment has begun TO fade, so that
now John Hancock's name has almost
entirely vanished. and the names OF
many others of the slgners are illegible.
In another part Of the State Depart
ment Library Is q case containing the
desk on which jefferson drafted the
Declaration. 1t is only three inches
high. and sold when new, for, / sup
pose, not more than $40 at the most

preservation Of wooden buildings. In
eastern Massachusetts,, notably in the
vicinity of Cambridge, there are wood
en- buildings still in q good state OF
preservation. They were erected near
~ two hundred years ago. A wooden
building in most parts OF the west,
however, soon begins TO decay. 1t is
liable to have an old appearance even
when it is comparatively new. 1t re-
quires paint and oil to preserve it, and
the coating of paint lasts but a very
lew years. Ordinarily the exterior Of
q wooden house must receive a fresh
coat OF paint as often as once in five Or
six years. The climate that is hard on
wood is also hard on paint. Hard
burned brick or those that have been
verified in the kiln can be used as a
substitute for stone for a variety of
purposes. If laid up with mortar that
contains q large proportion of hydraulic
cement. they make as good a founda-
ton for walls as split stone. They also
make good cellar walls, well curbing,
and Innings for cisterRs. In making sew
ers nothing is superior to them, as has
been repeatedly shown in all our large
cities.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never let the tea boil.

Sprinkle sassafras bark among dried
fruit to keep out worms.
If your fruit pies boil over, roll up i,
small tube of white paper and insert IL
in the hole in the upper crust. The
juice will boil up in this, and not run
over into the oven.

ing.-Before using new earthenware
place in a boiler with cold water, and
heat gradually till it boils; then let ii
remain till the water is cold. 1t win

manner.
LEMON CREAM PIE.-The juice and
grated rind of one lemon, one cup of
sugar, the yolks of two eggs. three
tablespoonfuls of sifted -four, and rich
milk enough to fill your plate or pan.
This makes a large pie, and should be
made with an under crust only. Bake
until nearly done, then take it from the

whites of two eggs, with two table,
spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Set
back in the oven until brown, Eat

AMBER PUDDING.-Peel and cut up
about eightqapples, and stir them over
the fire with four ounces of butter, the
juice and peel of one lemon; when the
apples are quite soft, mash them up or
put them through a seive; stir in four
yolks OF eggs, and bake in a pie-dish
which is edged with paste. When
done, put the whipped whites on the
top, and return it to the oven till it is

Revealed by an Old Newspaper.

G. G. johnson, a young colored
printer of San Francisco, has in his
possession . relic of considerable inter-
est, in the shape of q newspaper ITO
years old. The paper alluded to is The
Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Id,
v~ertiser Of Oct. so. 1776. 1t is yellow
with age, and nearly worn + shreds by
reason Of much folding and handling.
A study of its contents reveals some
curious facts. For instance, one adver-
tisement, well displayed, is rs follows:
ITO Be Soda likely. healthy. capa-
BILE negro lad. country-born, about IL
years of age. Inquire of the printers"
1t seems strange nowadays that any
such advertisement as the above could
have ever been Published so far north
as Philadelphia The larger portion of
the journal is taken up with advertise
ments offering rewards for the arrest
and return of deserters from the colonial
army and navy, from which it appears
that all of our forefathers were not In
spired with that lofty patriotism so
often ascribed to them. A curious adj
vertisement is the following:
TO DE SOLD.
The time of a healthy servant boy, who ha.
been at the tanning business, aud has upward
OF five years to serve.
Another party offers "a reward for
the return of q red-headed, freckled-
faced boy.
Another lad" reads rather ~funnily,
and one wonders how the advertiser
was possessed of so complete an in
yentory of his servants wardrobe. 1t
is as follows:
Ran away the first of this instant,
September. from the subscriber, living
n New London township. Chester
county; an English servant woman
named Sarah Philister. about 80 years
Of age, of q brown complexion. very
talkative, and fond of liquor; she has
lived in several parts of Maryland, and
served part of her time with William
Miller, of New Garden township. Took
with her one calico gown and petticoat
of the same. two linsey and one stuff
petticoat, three short gowns of different
sorts, two check and four white aprons,
u black cloak. and bonnes, and sum
dry other clothes too tedious to mem
ton. Whoever takes up and secures
said servant so as her master may have
her again shall receive Sc reward and
reasonable charge, if brought home,
paid by DAVIS MAcKEY."

phrase, and an evidence of genius as
