a Refrirerntor In a CHURCH rower.

The church and the ale house have
been frequently associated by the irrev-
erent, but it remained for the city of Lon
don to exhibit an instance of o well
known church being actually occupied
by the kitchen servitors of restaurant.
Oneof the church wardens of this church
recently assembled the tower and discov-
cred that the cooks of a neighboring eat
ing house-the kitchen being situated at
the top of the building had made an
entrance into the tower and utilized it as
a storehouse No doubt it was a. cool and
safe chamber; but it is scarcely neces-
sary to add that the legs of mutton,
Camembert cheese, and the other dain-
ties were bundled forth without any GER
emeny and measures adopted to protect
the sacred edifice from such worldly in
trusion in the future. London Press.

some Notable Reprodaetions Of Ideas In
Observation-Disclosures InexorabIe-
All great writers have initiated here
and there, but always consciously and
for their own amusement solely. Many
of these reproductions have been very
brilliant, but upon no one of them has
the fame ofan author ever rested. When
Coleridge wrote his remarkable para
phrase of the Bible, "The Wanderings of
Cain," it was undoubtedly an event in
the literary world, and brought him
great praise; but If Coleridge had never
written s'Cristabel," or "The Ancient
Mariner" !" or ''Kubla Khan what niche
in literature's temple would Coleridge
occupy todayl Byron, in his Heaven
and Earth" wrote description of the
food which for dramatic power, vivid
portrayal and stupendous strength, far
exceeds the Bibles picture; but because
the food had been the Bibles peculiar
property for hundreds Of years before
Byron was born, 80 it will continue to
hold its rights to the end Of time.
To come down in the scale, "St. Elmo"
and "Rutledge" owed their great vogue
to the popularity of ''Jane Eyre" and
the inspiration their authors drew from
that famous novel The duchess and
Helen Mathers pressed their lips to the
fever stricken mouth of Rhoda Brough.

form. Rita and Amelie Rives have
snatched the falling mantle of Ouida,

about themselves that it has become an
extra cuticle and could only be removed

Great original genius is only recog-
nized and admitted after a desperate
fight, because there is no greater coward
than the intellectual public. The well
furnished and critical brain has every
shelf of its cells fitted up with the lore
upon which centuries or generations of
public approval have set their SEAL It
knows that to admire that choice library
is both safe and proper; it gives one dig
nifty and it gives one pleasure. Any
thing, therefore, which is radically diff
/ ferent from the inhabitants of those
precious shelves must perforce be worth
less.
People do not stop to compare or even
to remember the difference between the
succeeding iteratures of past gener-
ations Think of the monotony of the
worlds letters If no original minds had
ever come to break loose from traditions,
inaugurate new schools and plant new
ideas! Suppose the glorious galaxy now
Illuminating our past had succumbed to
the inevitable fire Of public protestation,
what sort of a literature would we have
today? Unquestionably the literature of
one generation, even of one decade. is
the natural result of the literature i'm
mediately preceding it; evolution is in
exorable. But upon this force of heredity
operate the great and complex forces OF
the times, and the man who is thrust
head and shoulders above the mass. as
the target of his generation and q
landmark for posterity, is he in whom
both forces have met and been ignited
by the divine spark that shot in his un.
born brain. whence no man can tell

There is no educator like experience.
1t is the stepping stone in life's stream,
and the man who does not heed its les
sons slips into the creek and gets drowned.
Yes, experience is an excellent teacher,
although it often charges high wages.
Its lessons are always valuable and
firmly fixed in the memory-stamped
there by the force of circumstances. The
little child that gleefully tries to mash a
wasp on the window pane under the de-
lusion that he is going to have some fun

are cold and unsympathetic when the
bunco man calls them by their right

the old folks and all the neighbors.
On the other hand, the man whose life
has been spent in study is easily taken in,
and has to telegraph home for money to

An Immense OIL Well.

are being erected and the Buckeye pipe
line company is connecting with the
well. Later reports say that the we'll is
producing not less than 5000 barrels per

No AnoIory Necessary.

A Michigan avenue car stopped at
Second street yesterday to permit a
young lady and a gentleman to get on.
AS the former, who was young as well
as pretty, passed forward to accept
seat offered her, she, tripped over the
outstretched foot of an individual who
was sitting at the rear of the car. aa9E
In an instant she was almost at full
length in the bottom of the car. The eexcla-
nations of the passengers and the black
looks they directed at the extended stum-
bling block should have caused its owner
to sink through the seat. Quicker al
most than she went down, however, she
was on her feet again, and gracefully
acknowledging the courtesy Of the gen.
tleman who surrendered his seat.
She was greatly embarrassed, and her
escort looked like thunder cloud and as
if he would like to punch the head of the
fellow who had caused all the trouble.
But he didn't. He contented himself
with occasionally stepping vigorously on
the still extended and offending foot.
There did not seem to be the least sign
of CONSCIOUSNESS from its owner, while
the passengers awaited the denouement
Finally. with lurch from the car as an
excuse, the foot received another fero-
cious dig that was SO pronounced as to
almost twist the man out of the seat.
Thinking that perhaps he had really in
iured the man, the escort muttered on
excuse that was received in great equa-
nimity, with the gratifying explanation:
"Oh, don't apologize; it's a wooden
one and used to being stepped on. De

The Government Of washington.

Washington is city that is governed
by the people of all the states Of the re-
public. In electing their representatives
in congress the people Of the. States elect
Washington's board of aldermen, and in
choosing their president they choose
Washington's mayor. For this privilege
Of controlling the Federal City the coun-
try has to pay one-half the expenses of
the municipality. In fact, very little
money but Uncle Sans money is ever
seen here, and very rarely does any one
in Washington get hold Of an old bank
note. The government pays out nothing
but new moLey, fresh from the money
mill Even the United States treasury
is used as sort of town bank, to which
hundreds of Washingtonians go daily to
get money changed.

Many people might smile if said that
horses color was an index to his game
ness, but such is the case, as I have found
from experience, says a veterinary sur
geon. I have closely noted this fact and
have had an opportunity to judge, hav-
ing performed thousands Of operations
on horses, some of them sufficiently pain
full to test the gameness of the subject.
I have found that the most aBrant cow
ards among horses are sorrels and the
gamest brutes bays or browns. Some
time ago Iperformed an operation on a
pair Of chestnut sorrels and they groaned
like human beings. A bay or brown will
usually suffer without noise of any Kind,
just rolling its big eyes in an appealing
way which is almost human in its in
tensity. Gray and white horses, as a rule,
are not particularly game.

the absolute necessity Of preventing work
from degenerating into worry. It is
worry that kills for the most part, not
work. To learn to put forth our best
