ADpIauding the Preacher.

In these days, congregation listens to a
sermon in silence; but in the Sixteenth CEN
fury it was quite otherwise. Latimer, on his
way to the cross in st. Paurs churchyard,
which served him as a pulpit, used to be
greeted by cries from the opening crowd:
''Have at them, Master Lastimerl have at
them" They were as quick to express disap-
prevail as approval
Once, while Bishop Bonner was preaching
from st. Paul's cross, a man in the crowd
emphasized his objection to the preachers
sentiments by throwing a dagger at him.
Even as late as the Seventeenth century, Eng
fish congregations had no idea of being only
listeners. A writer in Temple Bar says:
1t was allowed to them to applaud or hiss
the preacher, as the occasion required, the
applause taking the form of loud hum of
appreciation. DR.. johnson relates, on the
authority of his father, that DR.. Burnet and
Dr.. Sprat once preached on the same day be-
fore parliament. When Burnet preached,
part of the congregation hummed so loudly
and so long, that the delighted preacher sat
down to enjoy it, rubbing his face with his
handkerchief.
Dr. Sprat, during his sermon, was honored
with the like animating hum, but he stretched
forth his hand and exclaimed: "Peace, peacei
pray you, peacep
When the same DR.. Burnett was preaching
on another occasion before the house of COM
mons he turned his glass at the end of the
hour as sign that he was going to continue
his sermon, when his audience broke out into
loud hum of appreciation strong testi-
mony either to his eloquence or to their en-
durance

How Women Swim.

The majority Of the fair pupils swim with
their arms only, and, if they do kick, the
force of their stockinged soles is lost on the
air. Instead of drawing the legs up under
the body as good male swimmer does, the
feminine pupil bends the leg at the knee, Sc
that the lower parts of the limbs rise grace
fully above the surface of the water at every
stroke and then drop back with thud, as il
part of the roof of the bath house had fallen
in. The effect of this innovation is most ex-
hilarating, especially to the disinterested
spectators. In proportion to their size women
have heavier heads and smaller lungs than
men, and as lung power has much to do with
swimmers buoyancy woman has a tend
ency in the water to pitch head downward.
The conformation Of her body, too, helps this
unpleasant tendency, SO that when she aggra-
Yates the trouble by kicking her heels out of
the water she looks like duck diving for

The Cub's Ride.

When the government light horse tender,
Manzanita, returned from her Alaskan voy-
age, she brought back one more passenger
than she started with. This was little black
bear cub, Sallie, which literally Rugged her
way to the hearts of all on board Being con-
stantly with the men, and at the same time al
lowed to roam at will all over the vessel, she
very quickly became tame and gentle as a kit
ten, and quite as playful. Theone place where
she was not allowed was the engine room,
not because the chief engineer did not like
her, but because he was afraid she might get
hurt One day, Sallie was missed at dinner
time, and one of the men volunteered to find
her,
After long search, she was discovered
perched ON the walking beam of the engine
which was in motion. There she chung; and
and at every movement of the great BEAM
she was raised to within six inches of the
ceiling, and her fat little body compressed to
a corresponding thinness. But she never
made whimper, for she was too much
frightened to jump off, and knew she would
be whipped if she made noise. So there she
chung, now getting n good breath, and the
next moment losing it in rathe.. violent
manner. The moment she was safe in the
mans arms, she Rugged him tightly, and be-
gan to squeal and make q tremendous fuss,
behaving in this respect like others of her

A Plucky Girl.

Edward Brady, Philadelphia lawyer, has
remarkably plucky daughter. She was
recently flung down steep embankment by
an unmanageable horse and pinioned between
two ties on the Pennsylvania railroad track
near Berwyn, Pa. Her head was in an inn
movable position, less than six inches from
the outside of the rail, and before she could
be rescued an express train Numbered past
her, the fire box of the engine fairly scorch-
ing her face And yet she never tainted nor
screamed, but remained calm and quiet,
though she felt certain that death was at
hand.
Her first words when help came were ut
tered to frame pleasantly. Such courage
and GOODNESS in a young and inexperienced
girl bespeak qualities of mind and heart that
one usually associates with royalty of the
ideal type. Miss Brady is an out and out
heroine. -NeW York Press.

A Gun of Good Coffee.

There is more than one way of preparing
pot of good coffee There are as many
ways, in fact, as there are kinds of coffee.
Nearly every housekeeper has pet theory
of her own for producing a rich color and
fine flavor. Some say use this sort of coffee,
others that sort, and more tell you that only
by judicious mixture of variety of brands
can the taste of the epicure in coffee be salts
fed
Many people stick to the conclusion that
coffee should always be boiled in the old
fashioned way, while others are sure that
stepping it is the only true way
There is no doubt but that the manner of
making coffee has great deal to do with the
appearance and flavor of the liquid, but a
great deal depends on the brand that is used.

A Rural Member.

A new member of congress for one of the
rural districts of Michigan was ambitious to
distinguish himself by his oratory, and &C.
cordingly watched for a favorable opportu-
nifty At length an occasion presented itself.
A motion was made in the house for enforcing
the execution of some statute, whel eupon the
orator in embryo rose solernnly up, and after
giving three loud hens, spoke as follows:
"Mr. Speaker: Have we laws, or have we not
laws2 II we have not laws, and they are not
observed, to what end are those laws made?"
So saying he sat down, his chest heaving high
with conscious consequence. Instantly Cox, the
clown of the house, with a twinkle in his eye,
rose and delivered his thoughts in these words:
Mr.. Speaker: Did the honorable gentleman
who spoke last speak to the purpose, or not
speak to the purposel If he did not speak tc
the purpose, to what purpose did he speaks"
That particular orator never troubled the
house again. San Francisco Argonaut.
