A JOKE ON HIS MAMMA.

Why a New Haven Youngster Wanted to
Say His Prayers in German.
New Haven Palladium.1
A capital story is being told of lad Of 8
summers who had mastered the German
language one winter while being separated
from his mother. He was conferring with
his father as to how to surprise and delight
his mother on the acquaintance of the new
tongue, and D brilliant thought struck the
young man.
''I'll say my prayers in German; that'll
surprise her, papa"
The father admitted this was an original
way, but decided that it was hardly proper.
most giving in to the plan, finally vetoed it
once for all on the ground of irreverenee.
This disgusted the 8-year-old, and he said:
"You don't seem to understand, papa. 1t
isn't joke on God; it's on mamma"

A MUSTARD SEED.


But if any Church of England rectorhad
valued the Bible more and the Thirty-nine
Articles less he would have learned long be-
fore he took holy orders that all his books
could not make Christianity much smaller,
much more local than the grain of mustard
seed, the little leaven whereunto Christ
likened it. But, small and local, the vital
point was there, the eternal life which has
been ever since unfolding, however slowly.
which by its mighty development promises
to become universal Mrs. Ward sees in
that mustard seed only grain of sawdust.
Mr.. Gladstone speaks of the church, of
the priesthood or ministry, of the sacra-
ments, as the established machinery of
Christian training; as the wings of the soul.
If "Robert Elsmere" is any true picture of
ecclesiastical England, the machinery has
become too heavy for the motive. The
church and the priesthood and the sacra-
ments shut the soul away from God rather
than interpret God to the soul. The wings
are wooden and crush the spirit down when
it would soar toward its source. Never was
a soldier sent to victory with SO little powder
in his flask.
"Truth has never been, can never be, con-
tained in anyone creed or system"

fallen on the Church of England If such a.

THE CUTTLE FISH.

Its Flesh Regarded with Great Favor ss
Food by the fOlynesians.
The octopods are such ungainly and
repulsive-looking creatures that they
have not generally been used for food.
/ find, however, that the cuttle-fish
forms something Of an exception to
this rule. as appears from an account
published in the "Aanual Record of
Science and Industry" for 1873 Ac-
cording to Mr.. Simmons. the flesh of
the large species OF cuttle-fsh was es-
teemed great delicacy by the an
clients; and at the same time the ma
tives OF the Polynesian Islands regard
1t with great favor as food. These fish
are frequently met with throughout
India and China, dried, and offered tor
sale. In Chilli they are also considered
delicacy, and in Barbados a species
OF loligo is often eaten. Mr.. Simmons,
however, considers the flesh as tough,
indigestible; innutritious and uninvit-
Ing. He further states that there Is an
extensive trade in species Of octopod in
the waters OF Tunis, and that they are
consumed largely during Lent a.
coming under the canonical head OF
hsh. Three or four thousand hundred

purpose. gdnapll9 gtais;a83 iBs

Rev. MT. Lathbury Borrowed Mrs. Chan
 dler's Child, Will Not Return It.
 NEW HAVEN, Jan. S.-There was a spicy hearing in the probate court, before Judge A. Heaton Robertson, over the possession of a child now in the custody of the Rev. MT. Lathbur}, of the Summerfleld Methodist church.
 Seven yesrs ago Henrietta Chandler, a very pretty young lady of Newark, N. J., moving in good society, gave birth to a enid, and the infant was spirited away. Mir. Lathbury was the pastor of the brooklyn Methodist church, and in his flock was Mrs Catherine Goldby, the wife of principal in one of the Brooklyn public schools. MT. Lathbury was removed by the Methodist conference to New Haven. and he induced Mrs Goldby to allow him to take the child to New Havsn to keep his wife company. Once securing possession of the child, he refused to give her up and in- duced Miss Chandler to sign paper deliver ing the child to him. He ins.Smed Miss Chandler that Mrs Goldby only wanted the child to sell Mrs. Goldby has brought the matter into court to secure possession of the little one. She produced letters written to ner by the minister, which are far from cred itable to him. In addition to the court pro- ceedings Mrs. Goldby has presented charges against the Rev. MT. Lathbury to the presid- ing elder of this district

Falling Rock at Niagara.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Jan. S-On last Friday night large mass of rock fell from the precipice of the Horseshoe or Canadian falls, and on Saturday night at 10 D. Ill. an other mass broke away. Ill both cases the noise made by the falling rock alarmed the residents in the vicinity on the Canadian side. The massive stone building known as the Table Rock house was jared to such degree that the doors were thrown open and the occupants who had retired jumped out of bed greatly excited by tho unusual noise and vibration of the building, resembling severe shocks of earthquake. Tue same.sensations were experienced at the residence of Gate keeper Whistler, on Cedar Island, and also half a mile up the river where Gardner Mo Cameron lives. The effect of these displacs- ments on the contour of the falls Is quite marked, the change being from an angle to the original horseshoe shape.

Since the withdrawal of the halibut trust local companies have prepared to control haddock as we'll as hali- but, and from the volume of business they seem likely to succeed. Owners are encour- aging the movement, and have ordered their skippers to sell trips here. The amount landed and shipped was 15o,OOO pounds of halibut, prices ranging from nine to thirteen cents, and sSO,O0 pounds of haddock, with several trips in the stream yet to land. Fish ermen are satisfied, and favor making this the principal point of distribution Steamers enough to handle the traffic can be supplied.

A Mayor in Hot Water.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Jan. s.-Mayor Kirk has invited the wrath of a number of clergy men. Three weeks ago the mayor sent a letter to the police commissioners requesting them to enforce the Sunday excise law, es- pecially between midnight Saturday and 1 P. m, Sunday. He added that he saw no harm in citizens quietly drinking beer on Sunday afternoon. The ministers now call upon the mayor to withdraw his letter, and to strictly enforce the lAH. The mayor viii give bis answer to the ministers in a day or two
