He Overdid 1t.

An eccentric clergymen in Corn
wall had been much annoyed by q
way the members of his congregation
had got into of looking round to take
stock of late corners. After enduring
the annoyance for some time, he said,
on entering the reading desk one day:
Brethren, regret to see that your
attention is called away from your re-
ligious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind you.
l propose, henceforth, to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and l hope the service will
then be allowed to proceed without in
corruption" He then began: Dearly
beloved" but paused half way to in
terpolate, Farmer Stubbins, with his
wife and daughter"
Farmer Stubbins looked rather sur
prised, but the minister, with perfect
gravity, resumed his exhortation.
Presently he again paused. Sam
Curtis and William Diggle." The
abashed congregation kept their eyes
studiously bent on their books. The
service proceeded in the most orderly
manner, the parson interrupting him
self every now and then to name some
new conner. At last he said still with
the same perfect gravity: Mrs. Sy-
mons, of the Red Lion, in q new bon
net" In a moment he felt his mis-
take, but it was too late. Every femin-
inc head in the congregation had turn

A Celebrated Fighting Pig.

In little hostelry at Jenkintown,
whose walls are bedecked with queer
old fashioned sporting pictures, there
is one illustration that will recall to old
patrons of all sorts of diversions a curl
Gus feature of bygone days when
many things went that wouldn't go
now. 1t is a fairly spirited sketch Of
the famous fighting hog Patsey, or
some such name. There was not
much fat on Patsey, but he had quick
legs and ugly teeth, and his owners
would fight him against any dog in
the country for 500. No dog ever
got Patsey by the ear and held on any
great length of time, and the pig had
a long record of dogs killed in the
ring; all kinds of CANNES they were,
too. Patsey, SO far as the sporting inn
keeper at Jenkintown can tell, is the
only hog with this kind of talent that
ever lived.-Philadelphia Press.

Many of the older school buildings

these registers are, as general thing,

Through Siberia.

No one can thoroughly understand
the meaning of the word "monotony"
who has not visited Siberia, and trav-
eled fer hour after hour, day after
day, week after week along its dark,
pine girt roads. Along the whole of
the post road from Irkoutsk distances
are marked by wooden posts, painted
black and white, placed at.every verst,
while at every post station a large
board indicates the distance from the
chief towns. My heart sank when
ever l looked at these and saw the
word Petersburg, with the appalling
number of naughts under it. The
few versts from station to station were
bad enough, but when it came to the
six thousand odd separating us from
Petersburg one almost gave up all
hope of ever seeing Europe again.
/ have never, even in the
depths of a Bornean forest, felt so
utterly lonely and cut off from the
rest of the civilized world as when
crossing Siberia.
Everything after the first week be-
came mechanical. Drinking tea at
the stations, going to sleep at mo-
ment's notice, if there were no horses,
Harvesting them at once if there were,
and returning to the depths of our
gloomy vehicle, there to lie hour af-
ter hour, and day after day, with
nothing to look at but the black road
and eternal pine forests, nothing to
think of save fair, civilized Europe, so
far away, but to which one felt, with
kind of gloomy satisfaction, every
jingle of the collar bells was bringing
us nearer. Even the scenery does not
atone for all these drawbacks. The
Siberian forests are not grand, but the
trees have a dwarfish look produced
by the immense plains. Not a bird,
not sound, is heard in these vast sol
itudes, and when the horses stop and
the bells are silent, the stiffness be.

THE SELFISH MAN.

His Portrait Painted in Glowing Colors By
Woman who SCENE to Know Him.
A woman who has been giving her
attention to the subject of the selfish
man gives the Stroller the following
as the result " her ponderings on the
subject: ~.
"What a good time he seems to
have in this world, with nothing to do
but to sit down before the rich pud-
ding of life and stick in his thumb
and pull out plum when he pleases.
No one asks him to do errands. He
hasn't time to run around or to carry
packages-he isn't going that way; or
to match spool Of silk-he hasn't an
eye for colors; or to buy you a ticket
for the lecture-he's afraid he won't
suit you. His time is all his own;
and how much he does--for himself.
Then, too, he invariably gets just
what he wants; did you ever notice
thatl It's given to him grudgingly,
but he gets it all the same. If you
doubt it watch the proceedings as he
enters room where several others
are sitting and see if the most COM
Portable chair doesn't roll right up to
him, as q matter of course, as if it
were magnetized by his presence. At
the table the same unaccountable law
governs the tenderest piece of meat and
the best cooked potato, for they nat
urally slide on to his plate. The rest
of the company may grOwl mentally
and wish him in Siberia; but that is
all the good it will do them; he will
feed on the fat of the land. AT night
he reposes on the downiest bed in the
house, though others toss on touches
of straw, without even a cotton top on
which to rest their weary bones.
Little children never bother him
with their troubles-they know better
and so some one else ties up their
shoe strings and soothes and smooths
their bumps Sick folks don't bore
him with their aches and pains; poor
folks don't follow him about asking
for aims, and if his pocket gets full Il
is likely to stay so. Oh, how nice and
comfortable it all sounds. Don't you
wish you were he2
This might do very well if he
could be assured that he would never
trip up, but when he gets flat on his
back, either in literal or a figurative
sense, there is grand scattering
among his so called friends, and the
universal comment is: Good enough
for you, old fellow; now lie there
awhile and see how you like itr
Few care to spend any extra
amount of time with him, condoling
or consoling, and he is fortunate if he
doesn't suffer from positive neglect.
One or two good Samaritans may,
through a spirit of benevolence, turn
aside and pour the oil of charity into
his wounds, but you needn't tell us it
isn't hard work for even them to do it
for one who has never lifted finger
to relieve or help others. Nothing is
or can be done for him from that low
ing impulse of sympathy that makes
our burdens easy to shoulder and
sweetens the bitterest waters to our
taste.
SIN this condition it is possible for
conscience to come to- after its long
period of deafness, and the prickling
of its awakening are favor,
able signs of returning life. 1t is we'll
if this self appointed despot is at last
