A Rector and His Club.

The rector of Gwaenysgon, in Wales,
is man of more than ordinary energy
and enterprise. In an attempt to collect
the tithes due him, and which the peo-
pie are not disposed to pay, he headed a
party of bailiffs who were sent to protect
the auctioneer in an attempt to distrain.
The auctioneer had been driven off three
times while making similar attempts,
and when it became known that he pro-
posed again to enter the farms, assisted
by the bailiffs and the rector himself, a
large crowd, armed with sticks. assem-
bled and made desperate attack upon
the distinguished party. The rector
fought nobly in defense of his rights, and
with heavy club, which he welded
with great dexterity, he felled four Of
his flock to the earth. The bailiffs, how
ever, showed less grit and fled with the
auctioneer from the field, 80 that the en-
terprising rector was forced to yield.
He now declares that he might as well
turn pirate out and out as attempt to col
lect the tithes due him from the stubborn
Welsh farmers. London Letter.

Exes Of ! severed Head open.

A Negannee special to The Detroit Free
Press says; A brakeman named Thomas
Higgins slipped between two freight cars
on moving train near Maple Ridge
yesterday morning. The signal to stop
was given by another brakeman who saw
the fall and the train stopped and backed
up to where Higgins lay. Five cars had
passed over his body, which was fright
fully mangled. The head was completely
severed from the trunk and lay several
feet from the track. Fireman Byo picked
up the head and was horror stricken to
see the eyelids close and again open, then
partly close again. This was seen by En-
gineer William Whitney and the brake
man, and all three were badly frightened.
This sign Of consciousness was given
several minutes after the head was sew
cred from the body.

When the last tabernacle was built,
DR.. Talmage was receiving salary of
$1,000 year, and his plan for the new
edifice was considered so pretentious that
it was feared he could not fill it. He en-
tered into an agreement with the trustees,
which was, in effect, that if he did not
succeed in filing the tabernacle every
Sunday during the year, he would not
claim a cent of salary. His success was
SO great that the huge edifice was abso-
lutely crowded at every service, and his
salary was raised to $4,000 year.
People even sat in the aisles until the
fire commissioners passed special reso-
luton forbidding this dangerous prac-
tice.--Once a Week.

Sewing on Rutt0nS.

when I get "a bright idea, / always
want to pass it along" said a Lady, as
she was watching young girl sewing
"Do your buttons ever come off, IdaW
"Everp They're always doing it.
They are ironed off, washed of, and
pulled off, until I despair. I seem to.
shed buttons at every STEP" IS
snake use of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and see
if they make any difference. When
you begin, before you lay the button
on the cloth, put the thread through,
so that the knot will be on the right
side. That leaves it under the button,
and prevents it from being worn or
ironed away, and thus beginning the
loosening process. ~
Then, before you begin sewing, lay,
large pin across the button, 80 that;
all your threads will go over the PIN
After you have finished filling the.
holes with thread, draw out the pin,
and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That
makes compact stem, to sustain the.
pulling and wear of the button-hole.n
"It is no exaggeration to say that
my buttons never come of, and I'm
sure yours won't if you use my meth

Rival Lines in Japan.

We hear great deal about rival tele-
graph lines, and the expedients TO-
which different companies resort to
cripple one another, such as cutting
rates, etc.; but, according to 3 writer
in Good Cheer, the spiders of Japen
resent the competition Of telegraph
thread spinners in an original and efs
fective manner. Spiders are one OF
the great obstacles to telegarphers in
Japan. Filling the trees along the line
these insects spin their webs between
the earth, the wires, the post, the insut
lators and the trees. When these
webs become wet with dew they con-.
stitute q good conductor, and the lines
are found to be in connection with the
earth. The only method Of obviating
this inconvenience is by employing
brooms of bamboo to brush away the
webs. But, as the spiders are more
active than the workmen employed IN
this work, the difficulty is not the less
serious.-S,UisS Cross. -;

A Bugbear Exploded.

Vicar-General Preston has been ln-
duced by the press TO set forth what ne
calls the laws of Catholic burial, and
saws something which only the public
ity which the press gives in this coun-
try to all that affects public interest
would ever have elected from the au-
thorities of that Church. We quote
his words from The Stua: Last OF all,
understand this, that the Catholic
Church does not pretend to say that
the souls of those whose bodies 1t IS
compelled to deny burial in consecrat,,
ed Catholic ground will fail of eternal
salvation. We simply refuse the
bodies the last external rites OF the
Church. We don't claim that our re-,
fusing to bury the body makes the soul
q lost one." That is just what Dr.
M'GIynn says. But, nevertheless, the
average Roman Catholic would be fear
full, if his father and mother should be
refused burial and the last rites OF the
Church, that there was no hope for
either. On contemplating the c1arac-
ters of many persons buried i'll Catho-
Tic cemeteries and churches in Europe,
we feel authorized to add to the vicar
GENERALS statement that, while erclu,
Sion sin consecrated Catholic ground
does not make the soul a lost one, IN
clusion cannot make it u saved one.

The JOhnstOwn Calamity.
THE CAUSE.-THE AGENCY OF GOl
AND MEN.

THE CAUSE.-THE AGENCY OF GOD
AND MEN.
Probably nothing of the kind has
ever so affected all classes of the people
of this country as the Johnstown flood
and the consequent destruction OF lives
and property and the distress of sur
vivors, has done. Nor is it probable
that any event has ever so touched and
opened the hearts and hands Of the
people as the reports from Johnstown
have done. AS with one mind and
heart the people far and near have
sent and are sending substantial relief
which can be measured only by the
wants of the Johnstown members OF
the human brotherhood. The people
are proving themselves neighbors to
them who were and yet are involved
in the calamity. The heroic and llber-
al aid thus afforded will go into the
history which may tell of the destruc-
tive flood which was the result OF the
conjoint operation Of the hands of God
and the hands of men.
What agency had God in that calam-
ity?
God decreed that the physical world
should be controlled by certain laws !:
that earth and water should each have
so much weight and force in them
selves, and resist or overcome the one
the other according to those laws, both
elements being affected by the laws OF
cohesion and gravitation.
The additional fall of water from the
clouds added to the weight and force
of the water in the reservoir and thus
caused the fatal break. The water
from the clouds came also according to
law. Thus far had God agency in the
calamity.
The building of the houses of Johns
town and their occupancy was the Will
and work of men. Had they so chos--
en- they could have builded and lived
elsewhere. The building of the reser-
voir dam was by men, the permission
to build was by men, the payment for
the work was by men. Whether or
not integrity governed from first to
last in building the dam, whether or
not the inspection of the dam was by
competent and reliable men, 1t was al!
the will and work of men.
The repeated warnings in view OF
the suspected weakness of the dam
were given by some men, but were not
needed by other men.
The dam, the product of the will
and work of moral agents, was too
weak to withstand the law-governed
body of water. Hence the break, the
flood, the destruction. Prudence nG
the part of men might have prevented
the calamity or would have prevented
the building of the dam; but as things
stood at the fatal hour, God could not
have prevented the calamity without
working a miracle.
In the light of the foregoing thai ca.
lamity may be called '.judgmen." OF
God, and it may with equal propriety
be accepted as an illustration q the
Scripture: "The prudent man for2-
seeth the evil and hideth himself; but
the simple pass Oh and are punished"
Yet this calamity does not luke xiii ::
\ show that the people of Johns :own
were "sinners aboven those who dwell
in other sections Of the country.

Confidence.

Not long ago there came to our
knowledge an instance of Il young lie
blighted for want of that confidence
which should exist between mothers
and daughters. Could this girl at
whose character the poisoned arrow
Of suspicion had been unjustly aimed
have found Il confidant in her mother,
the ranking wound she received
might have been mcdicated and
healed. AS it was. she brooded in ST.
lence over the sorrow she could not in
trude on another, and under the pres
sure of her mental sufferings broke
down both in mind and body and be-
came an invalid for years. One plain,
frank, kind talk with her mother
might have saved her untold agony OF
mind and suffering of body.
There are children so open-hearted
and out-spolen and care free that
there is little danger that conceal
ment, like worm in the bud, will
feed" upon their vitals. And there
are reticent children, brooding chill
dren, sensitive children, of whose in
terror life it is almost impossible to get
a glimpse. What loving, tender, con
stant, wholesome sympathy such chill
dren need, but how often they are left
to themselves to become morbid, un-
healthy, cankered, and spoiled: If
some gentle but firm hand-a mothers
hand would insist OH opening the
closed doors of their hearts, on letting
the warmth of sympathy and the sun
shine of free communion into the hid
den recesses of their souls, the dark
ness of their thoughts would vanish,
perpleXing questions would be solved,
the specters of doubt and discourage
ment that haunt them would be laid.
That girl who finds confidant i'll
her mother is safe. That boy whose
heart is an open book to his mother is
safe. The wise and skillful mother
will learn how to possess herself in
such way of the heart of her child
that the secret recesses Of that heart
will be opened to her. And it is. in
finitely more important to the child
that his best friend should have a
pass-xey to every innermost apart
ment of his spiritual nature than that
the body should be nurtured ever so
carefully.
Children should be encouraged to
express themselves freely to their par
ents to tell their dreams even, both
waking and sleeping; to talk about
their religious views and thoughts; to
ask God aloud for whatthey need with
as little hesitation and shamefacedness
as they ask their parents for bread or
clothes or toys. Young hearts that
thus lie open to the sunshine of SYM
pathy and of appreciation will not he
corroded by lettering cares or griefs,
and will readily recover from those
wounds and bruises Which none suject
to mortal ills can escape.
