The Newest in slanr.

The novelty in slang fer the new
year is the word 'skate," as applied to
drinking. When q man was tipsy last
year the rule was 70 say that .she had a
jag on but hereafter the phrase is to
be "Aes got skate" Presumably the
idea at the bottom of the new slang
word is that tipsy man rolls from side
to side of the pavement like a person
skating. But however that may be,
skate Is what goes now. New York

with the intruder while the wife took
pistol from under the pillow. AS it was toe
dark to take aim, she lighted candle. She
then aimed and fired. and the negro fell

crept under the bed but as she was unlocking
the door he emerged aud seizing a mirror threw
it at her. It missed her. but exuinguished the
light, and the negro succeeded in escaping.
When she relighted the candle she discovered

Hogs for Speed.

Farmer James Brown, his wife and
family, last year decided they would
move to the great south so as to
escape the cold winters. He carried
with him some very fine stock.
Among them were Berkshire hogs
that he took much pride in. He
bought a snug farm in Mississippi
and set to work to astonish the ma
tives.
In that beautiful climate his hogs
throve far beyond his expectations.
The next season finding that he had
the finest pair that he had ever own
ed he decided to enter them at the
forthcoming fair. The day came.
His pets attracted great attention.
The old man received kind words
from many a visitor. 1t was a fore
gone conclusion that Farmer James
Brown would win that prize.
The judges came around and made
their awards Great was the sur.
prise when it was found that the
honors had gone to the owner ofone
of the native hogs ofthe breed known
as s:razor-backs.
Thinking there was some mistake,
Farmer James Brown accosted the
Judge and asked him on what points
he made 1.-THE award. The answer
was:
i +
Speed, sir; by CAD, speed, sir!"
Farmer James Brown says there's
money in raising fine stock in the
great south but no glory.

A Good Dog Story.

DR.. Boyer, of this place, has very
fine fine Newfoundland dog, with q kind,
intelligent face, which accompanies
him on his visits to the sick. His
name is Rover. He seems to take
q deep interest in materia, medica,
and to understand the treatment of
ordinary ills. Not long ago Christian
Miller, who thinks the only good
CANNES are the dead ones, gave Row
er a dog button. Rover, installing
it for a mint lozenge, of which he is
very fond, and believing Christian to
be his friend, ate it. But he soon
afterWard discovered that it was
poison. So, running home as fast
as he could, he went to the doctors
dlspensary, got down a bottle of
tineture oflobelia, pulled the cork
out with his teeth, drank copiously
OF it, and by the use of this emetic
escaped death by poisoning Since
then his demeanor toward Christian
Miller has been cold and Distant
Punxsutawney Spirit!

CAME TO The SURFACE.
The Body of a Peddler. Who Had
Been Murdered for His Money
Hound in, a Pond

Inc bOdy OF q HeUOier VINO Had
Been Murdered for His Money
Found in a Pond.
PHILADELPHIA, March 29-What will prob
ably prove 10 be one of the most aJrocious
murders ever committed in Southern New
Jersey was brought TO light by the discovery
OF the remains of man floating on the sur
face of a pord near Turnerville, small
village in Gloucester county. His nose had
been broken, and his head covered with
frightful gashes. The body was very much
decomposed, and had evidently been in the
water fo- some time The body was soon
recognized as that of Jewish ped
dler, who visited that section of
the country once a month regu-
larly until about three months ago, when he
was missed from his rounds AS he had al
ways stopped with Joseph Hillman, young
married man living in Turneryile, suspicion
was directed towards him aud to-day he was
placed III custody About the time
the peddler was due on another round
astonished every body in the vicinity by
starting out with peddlers pack He
seemed to have lots of money, and this fact
was more astonishing as he was usually
known to be without money. He offered his
goods for sale at unusually low figures,
and on being questioned as to how he
could afford to sell so low, he is said to have
explained that he found the pack and wanted
to dispose of the goods, as he had no use for
them. An examination of the house from
which Hillman moved showed stains
on the floor of the second story
room and also on the boards on the
ground floor. These spots showed evidence
OF an effort to clean them up and il is sup
posed they are blood stains. The theory is
tnat the unfortunate peddIer was murdered
while asleep on the second floor and his body
carried down stairs. When found the body
had a rope tied around the waist, which had
evidently been used to drag the remains to
the pond.

PARLIAMENT FoRBIDs.

fhe Very Rev. Granville Bradley, dean of
Westminster, has met the suggestion that the
body of john Bright be inferred in West
minister abbey with the regretful statement
that an act of parliament forbids the inter
ment in the abbey of any person not having
received the rite of baptism in the estab-
lished church. This bar to special honor to
the Birmingham statesman will be greatly
deplored by many who in other cases would
uphold the act as not only proper, but nee
essary to the maintenance of the church
Three thousand persons viewed the body of
Mr.: Bright to-day. The crowd behaved quiz

following:
We talk of food for the mind as of food

and for the best part of US, yet how long
most people would look at the best book be-

books cost the tenth part of what bracelets

making people forget that If a book is really

No book IS worth anything which is not

been read and reread, and loved and loved

A Story About Nilsson.

When Christine Nilsson first appeared

was bony and freckled Scandinavian
lass like scores one sees in Western
towns. Now she is a magnificent wo.
man. commanding in carriage and coun.
tenance. Occasionally her temper gets
the better of her on the stage, and once,
here in Chicago. she knocked over the
piano-stool and stamped angr5ly because
something had gone wrong. If she
proved herself ungrateful to former
benefactors, retribution came quickly in
the treatment which she met at the hands
of her first husbands relations, upon
whom she had lsvished princely dona-
tions.
She is a woman of noble impulse,
which was once illustrated at the house
Of a retired Chicago milIiona re near
New York. A distinguished company
had been invited 10 meet her at dinner.
On entering the diuing-room she dropped
her hosts arm, hurrying IN ANA -ement to
the stately young butler, and Selling him
efnsively by the hand, engaged him in
conversation, while the other guests
stood waiting and the entertainer looked
on in establishment. THAT man," she

.erhe Place whore Jesus, Name Is.


All the missionary reports dwell on the
wonderful results of women's work among
the heather. One of the most remarkable
comes from Madura, in the Indian Archi-
pelago, and is published in the Missionary
Herald. 1t appears that a Biblewoman
gathered little class of native women to-
gether, and used to speak to them about
Jesus, reading TO them, and explaining his
life OF love. One day woman who had
ben most attentive listener, interrupted
her with:
care all the things you read and tell US
about Jesus written in that bookFi
Eyes, and much more than have yet
toll your
81 want book like it; will you bring me
one tomorrow
"Yes, l will bring one, but of what use
will it be to YOU'D You cannot reld it"
But l must have the Book that tells
about Jesusn
The next day when the book was given to
her, she cl1sped it eagerly with both hands,
and touched it lovingly to her lips. Then
opening the book she said:
Show me the place where Jesus name
isn
''As soon as it had been pointed out to
her she kissed the sacred page reverently.
Before the Bible-woman left the house the
happy owner of the Book asked that the
place might be marked so that she would al
ways ma the name OF Jesus
Another woman, who has only been under
instruction few months, has been much
impressed with the thought that it is her
duty to 60 from house to house, like the
Bible readers, teaching and telling
of the love Of Jesus. Sheis very anxious
TO read in the New Testament, and has per-
suaded her husband to help her, so that SO
may learn more rapidly. Not long since she
came carly in the morning, and entrealr--
the Bihle-woman to go with her to a neigh.
boring village to preach, saying she wished
TO begin to tell what she had learned about
Jesus, but was afraid to teach IN her own
village, where she WAS wellknown, for the
people would laugh at her because she knew
so little. Surely God has blessed this branch
of the work in answer to many earnest
prayers.
