The Minister Thanked Heaven.

IN old sea captain sat in the lobby
Of the custom house one afternoon.
He was in a talkative mood, and re-
lated a number Of funny experiences
he had had with ministers, There
was one in particular which amused
him very much as he recalled it.
''Once, when we left London, 4" he
began, ito make a trip to Baltimore,
among the passengers on board was
a preacher. We had hardly got out
of the river before the good man be-
came awfully sick, and he felt sure
something was wrong with the ship.
He related his fears to me, and to al
lay them l took him to the fore part
of the vessel, where q number of
sailors were at work.

I asked.

ship The reverend gentleman saw
the point and felt much easier.
1.-The next day terrible storm
arose. The vessel plunged in the
trough of the waves, and the passen-
gers were greatly frightened.
Il noticed the preacher going to
the same part of the ship, and fol
lowed him. Suddenly he stopped
and listened attentively. Then he

Horrible Thought.

Material, a dead body. Process,
compression. Result a paper weight.
This is the result mapped out by
an inventive genius in Pittsburg.
He is a doctor by trade, and there
fore can speak with authority of the
destiny of his patients. His name is
Cooper. If his idea 'goes," he will
make a barrel out of it. His appara-
tus is a combination of steel presses
and hot rOIlers-a sort ofrolIing mill
on a small scale. There is little
sentimentality about the operation,
but it is effectual.
A human body is put in at one end
and taken out at the other in the
shape of a paper weight. Ia other
words, the enormous pressure eX-
Ciudes all moisture from the body
and congresses it to a fraction Of it's
original bulk. The body of a full
grown man can thus be reduced to a
cubic of one foot, as hard and i'm
perishable as marble. DR.. Cooper
asked nobody to take his word for
all this. In this respect he is like the
man who owned hen which he said
laid two eggs a day. eff YOU don t
believe it, he said, there's the hen. -
When DR.. Cooper runs across a
skeptic he takes him by the arm,
leads him into his study and beaming-
~ points on his centre table to what
appears to be a cross fashioned of
the purest marble.
'eThere, - he exclaims, care the re-
mains of a child converted by my
process into a handsome and val
uable-Ornament. Taste it-yOu will
find it tasteless. Smell of it-yOu see
it is OdOrless. Try it with knife
it's as hard as marble. And, what's
mOres i can turn ont as neat a job

A Lesson in Natural History.

A city man who has gone to the
country had his curiosity awakened
the other day by the shril and vocif-
erOus piping of some creatures in the
neighborhood that the country folks
said was tree toads. Probably every
body who has been in the country
knows this high key chorus, formed
Of two notes necessarily repeated.
The city man traced the noise to q
grove of trees, and spent ten minutes
standing beneath one tree after an
other and looking up along the
trunks and branches to discover one
Of the loud chOristers. He had no
success whatever. The noise filed
the air, and seemed as likely to pro-
coed from one tree as another, and
more likely to proceed from all. just
as he was about to give up the quest
he came to a little dent or hollow in
the ground, and his ears were smOte
by such a close and loud volume of
the singing that ne knew he was on
the right trail There was q little
water in the hOllC ~, full of leaves,
black in the middle, and scummed
with green at the edges. He took
one step nearer to it, and the noise
ceased. He stopped down and MIN
licked the frog chorus pretty closely
by whistling. Instantly the air was
filed anew with the strange melody.
The capture was an easy matter
after that Every time he advanced
toward the water the noise ceased,
and he stirred itup again by visiting.
Finally he found himself bent directly
over the pool and engaged in close
and sympathetic conversation with
its denizens. Under one leaf. by mar
row scanning, he perceived a throb-
bing or palpitatiOn Of the water
The noise proceeding directly from
that spot was so loud and acute that
it pierced his ear. It seemed that the
musician must be of large size He
plunged in his hand and drew out
what does everybody suppose? afrog,
but as small one as nature could
well build-a little black object that
would scarcely cover a quarter of a
dollar. 1t was not One-twelfth the
size Of S canary bird, and yet in voice

Other chemists made light of it
and pronounced it nonsense of the
rankest kind.
One of the Oldest undertakers in
the city took in the situation at a
glance.
Practicable" said he; s'of course,
and easy and simple besides. There
is a great deal of solid matter in the
human body. Take the blood, for in
stance: In a body Weighing $50
pounds One-thirteenth of the weight
is blood and twenty per cent. of the
blood is solid matter; this gives you
about two and One-third pounds to
start with. The muscles weigh
seventy-seven pounds and quite a
proportion of solid matter The
skeleton weighs tWenty-One pounds
and eight ounces, and here the pro-
portion Of solid matter is large.
Compression will reduce everything to
solid matter, which would be indie
seructible, without the necessity of
any chemical change. In embalming
the principal thing we have to contend
with Is the liquids of the BODY. Elk

A Lesson in Eucher.

4 rom TIE NeNurE journal.
A clever swindIe was perpetrated
on one of the trains of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad Company, and the
victim was a farmer who thought he
knew it all.
Among the passengers on the ferry
boat from Philadelphia for Camden
were two Well-dressed men of middle
age, who pulled away carelessly at
their cigars and appeared to be on
speaking terms with all the world.
When the bOatreached the Wharfthey
walked to the railway station and
took q double seat in the smoking
car Of the Mount Holly train. Here
they took the liberty Of speaking to
the people sitting near them on all
sorts Of topics, and conducting them
selves generally with an air of easy
confidence that quite captivated a
Hartford farmer, who sat just ahead
OF them.
Finally the stranger produced a
pack of cards and began to plav. but
IN few minutes one of them became
tired and turning to the farmer asked
him If be wouldn't ike to pass away
the time with a game
"What kind O. game is it?" asked
the farmer
"Old-fashiOned eucher" was the re
spouse.
The farmer took a hand, while one
of the sporting gentlemen sat beside
him and watched his hand, at the
same time giving him advice now and
then. After two or three hands had
been played the farmer saw a good
chance aud made it diamonds.
''That suits me, said the sporting
gentleman. Fact is / wOuldn't mind
bettin' awad of money on this hand -
Here was the opportunity, and the
farmers adviser nudged him hard
and remarked in a whisper: $50 in
and blow him out. That hand OF
yours is worth fortune If you
don't want to play it let me have a
chance"
But the farmer said he guessed he'd
take a hack at the game himself.
How much did the sporting gentle
man want to bet? The latter sug-
gestes that $50 would be the proper
sum, so the farmer went down in his
milestone pocket and tished out bills
to that amount.
You're a fool to bet that way"
suggested a venerable gentleman
across the aisle.
81 may be q fool, but my money
amt, " answered the farmer. ''I'm a
reg'ler canary, 1 an" With this re
mark he turned his attention to the
game and looked at his hand. He
had the right and left bower, seven
and eight spots of trumps, and ace
of clubs-an invincihle hand, he
thought. So he led of with his right
bower and then his left, but caught
nothing but the nine and ten of
trumps. Then he led the ace of clubs.
which the sporting gentleman cap
tured with the ace of diamonds, fol-
lowing it up with the king and queen
of trumps in such rapid succession
that it made the farmers head swim.
Tt was a clear case of eucher.
The sporting gentleman grabbed
the money and got off at the next
station, followed by his companion.
The farmer was dazed. Finally he
pulled himself together, wiped the
perspiratiOn from his brow, and said:
"GOsh dast the luckl"
