Evangelist d. l.. Moody went down
into the sluns Of Chicago to preach TO an
audience OF people never seen inside Of
the churches. After the services he was
the center Of scene. Half dozen
young men, half drunk and noisy, waited
at the foot Of the stairs. They insulted
the young women who came out and
they tripped up the young men. They
were evidently preparing to have some
rough sport with Mr.. Moody, for when
he appeared at the door they crowded
around him and jostled him of the lower
step.
He saw the danger and averted 1t
neatly. He was carrying his overcoat on
his arm. Picking out tho biggest and
toughest of the crowd, he said Wont
you please help me on with this coat7
I'm getting little old and stout" The
bad young man was unnerved He red
dened, and stepped back. Mr.. Moody
held out his arms appealingly, and the
young man weakened. Muttering some
thing that sounded like an oath he hoisted
the coat ON to the broad shoulders. ~

In Italy, Turkey, Greece, Asia Minor.
Egypt and many Of the oriental coun-
tries the archaic images Of the deiti-s
were painted red; and it has been said
that the traditional practice was intend.
ed to please 1.-THE color sense" by which
is meant that these images were regarded
as pretty gewgaws. This is not likely,
and the true explanation is that tho
color of red was sacred. All pristine
creeds can, with probability, be traced
ultimately to two origins. They are, in
different DISCUSSES, the worship Of tho
sun and the worship Of humanity. Red
became therefore an exceptionally odious
color when the ascetio temper gained
possession Of religion.
The author Of 1.-THE Wisdom of Solo
mon" betrays a profound antipathy to
the color in the following: "Or make 1t
like some wild beast, laying 1t over with
vermilion, and with paint coloring 1t
red, and covering every spot therein. +"
The coloring was very offensive to him,
and he describes in another place the
voluptuary as crying: LET us crown
ourselves with rosebuds before they are
withered" Afterward fresh associa-
ton was added, and scarlet typifed not
only the sins Of Babylon, but their pun
ishment also.-Exchanne,

A Cat That Lives on Canaries.

George Fair, of the Haymarket thea
ire, says; have tiger cat, pug dog,
seventeen gold fish, and forty canaries.
The dog is the most submissive of the
lot. He has been licked SO many times
that his tail won't curl. Ever see pug
dog with the curl taken out Of his tall
I've got one. But the cat is the boss.
Mrs. Fair is very much attached to the
cat l wanted her to sell the cat, or let
me bring it down here, or kill it-any-
thing to get it out Of the house. No,
sir, she wouldn't have it. Said the cat
could stay in the house as long as she
did. One day she went home and found
lot Of feathers on the floor, and the cat
asleep on top Of the piano. The cat had
eaten the canary-several canaries. !
said to Mrs. Fair, II guess tho cat will
go now. but she said no. For two or
three days we noticed that the cat didn't
cat anything. He refused beefsteak,
mutton chops, whipped cream, and all
OF the dainties. He had tasted the cana
~, and nothing but canary would sat-
isfy him. So We are raising caparies
now to appease the cats appetite. The
dog eats the bones and the crumbs which
fall from his masters table.-Chicago

we Become Dicnifled Too Soon,

How soon peoples dancing days" are
over. Middle age doesn't dance. was
at Long Branch hotel last summer and
saw the evening chop" 1t was enjoyed
mostly by children. The elders looked
on. but did no dancing. Some of the
elders" were quite young saw among
them those who, eight or nine years be-
FORE used to he very active on tho foot
in that same parlor. But they dance no
more. 1t is too puerile. They look on
little while and walk about YEARLY.
They seemed to have entered on that
phase of life when everything bores
more or less saw ladies walking with
tl.eir Husbands M and dnwn- tha carri-
dor Some waddled. Some were too
fat to dance. Some had lost entirely
the elastic muscle of childhood, though
not forty. These, of course, were too
dignified to dance. At least they seemed
to consiler this apparent inability to
lance as dignity. Perhaps it is. saw
even young men of twenty-five, who
danced nightly at eighteen, among the
ranks of those who had grown above
dancing. think we enter on the heavy,
sit down phase of life much

Revolution in Printing,

To the Man About Town an old printer
remarked the other day: 1--WE are on the
eve OF great revolution in the typo
graphical appearance Of printed matter,
especially newspapers, that is, the use Of
black paper printed in white letters, in
stead of white paper printed in black
letters, as now. The change is one to be
desired by the public, for the reason that
white letter on a black ground pos
sesses greater contrast and distinctness,
and is, consequently, easier on the eyes.
The change will give at first an odd
enough appearance to printed matter,
but the merit OF it will eventually result
in Its general adoption, and in time the
black letter will be as rare as the white
letter now is. Sign painters and show
card printers recognize the superiority
Of the white letter, and are rapidly
adopting it, as is evidenced by the nu-
merous white lettered signs now to be
seen on the streets and In the shops.
The change would be comparatively In
expensive to publishers, and as black is
cheaper than white paper, saving could
he effected With our newspapers thus
printed reading on cars and In dimly
lighted places would be not only prac-
ticable, but easy."-St. Louis Republic.
