Henry Upper, one of those know.
ing men, was explaining to his wife
and sister-in-law in Dubuque, the
other day, how they should conduct
themselves in case their clothes
should accldently catch afire. "The
best thing you can do, he said, "is to
rush out and roll over and over in
the snow. It's easy enough and a
sure thing, if you only keep your pres
ence of mind. Here I've got on
some old clothes, and I'll show you
how it's done" He showed them.
He turned kerosene on his legs and
then touched q match to them. All
this happened in the kitchen. The
unearthly, terrific yell Mr.. Upper
let loose happened there too, and
then, like a screaming, blazing dem
on, he dashed for the snow bank, via
dining room, hall, stairway, bedroom
window and the top of the woodshed.
He got into the snow bank and roll
ed over, just as soon as the presence

and resuscitated the ladies, who now
not only understand what to do in
case their clothing get on fire, but
are fast learning that cotton, moist
ened with cool cream, though a very
soothing application for parched flesh
will not entirely check profane
groans.

Thirty-fve years ago a prominent
farmer Of Wayne county, O., was a
passenger on train on what is now
the Fort Wayne road, and neglected
to give his fare to the conductor. A
few days ago he called on the station
agent at Wooster and told him
he wanted to pay for the ride, as his
conscience had been troubling him
for 35 years. The money was paid
over in full, and forwarded to the
General Passenger Agent.

Stingy man, yes. He chewed to,
bacco, dried his chew, smoked it,
gave his wife the ashes to brush her
teeth with, and made her go and
spit on the garden as a fertilizer.
Such a man might do to bottle up
and sell as mucilage that will stick
to anything that comes in its way,
but he won't do for husband.

At recent lawsuit in Texas thir-
teen expert cattle branders swore
that when cattle were branded in
1.-THE dark of the moon" the brand
will never get larger than the first
impression, no matter how much the
animal may grow. But if the brand
ing iron is applied in the eight Of
the moon" the scar will spread, and
the lighter the moon the larger will
be the scar.

What looked like the largest,
straightest, soundest, and longest
walnut log ever Aoated down the
Cumberland reached Nashville the
other day 1t belonged to a green
looking countryman who gave good
reasons why he must sell it immedi-
ately. 1t was such fine log that
despite the owners anxiety to sell, it
fetched almost its apparent value.
In due course of time it was taken
out Of the water, and proved to be a
sycamore log with walnut bark tack
ed all over it in the most artistic
manner. The green countryman has
not been seen since.

WHY ATTEND CHURCH.

l. 1t helps ourselves, The church
services give vigor to the best thoughts
and purposes, strengthens our integ-
rity develop and solidify right charac.
ter, and feed the mOrai and religious
part of our nature, We cannot af-
ford to lose those sweetening and
strengthening influences for single
week.
2. 1t helps the minister. Nothing
is more disheartening to a minister
than simple neglect. What sense is
there in preparing message for
those who do not come TO hear it
How can he preach with vigor to
empty pews? The dullness of any
service is often to be laid to the ac-
count Of the absent ones.
3. a church lives on the devotion
OF its friends. Nowhere is this de-
votion so fully shown, 80 quickly felt
or so plainly seen, as in the attend
ance on the Lords day--eyery one
in their place, and the church re-
jOices in a consciousness of strength
and vitality, and goes forth with
zeal and power to all its appointed
work. With half the seats vacant
there comes depression and the
church sinks into inaction. A live
church helps the community. The
moral tone Of any community de-
ponds largely on it's churches. If the
friends OF the church will attend,
strangers will be sure to do 50.
