but only the lower portion had been
wiped dry, the rest Of his face was drip
ping with water. On being told TO
return and wipe his face he said, HBut
teacher ! can't" Naturally surprised.
the teacher asked why he could not
follow her instruction, in as much as
he had succeeded in washing his face
and hands and wiping them so nicely,
as fur as he had gone. The small boy
answered, while the big tears ran
down his cheek: 'sMy shirt amt long

gard of principle and indulgence in Grim

According TO a contemporary a minister
in a neighboring town closed a sermon
the other day with these words: 1--WE
would be pleased, moreover, to have the
young man who is now standing outside
the door to come in and make certain
whether she is here or not That would
be great deal better than opening the
door half an inch and exposing the people
in the last row of seats TO a draught."
The Franklin Ne,cS, an excellent au-
thority on tho subject gives this method
of detecting good from bad money: "The
test of the genuine or counterfeit bill is
easily made. Take United States bill of
any denomination, hold it up to the light,
and you will sec two lines running across
it lengthwise. Upon examination you
will find these to consist of silk thread,
a red one and blue one. Every genuine
bill has this mark of genuineness. With
out these marks bill may be put down
as counterfeit, no matter how good the
engraving on it. No paper mill will dare
to make that sort of paper, and that is the
Governments only protection on its cur
rency."
Under an act which became law on
the 9th of May, 1889, courts in the several
counties of this State may, upon tho petit
ton of not less than rs taxpayers, appoint
such a number of Deputy Constables as in
their judgment the case may warrant.
The Constables may exercise all the pow
ers of policemen in cities in the several
townships where they are appointed, and
the keepers of jails and lockups are re-
quired to receive all persons arrested by
these officers. When on duty these OFF,
GERS shall wear badges with the townships
name on them. The courts shall award
them such compensation as they may
deem fitting, and discharge them when
their services are no longer necessary.

This is the way Burdette washes the
Office towel in the "Old Oaken Bucket" :"
"When think Of the towel, the old fash
ioned towel that used to hang up by the
printing house door, think that nobody
in these days of shoddy can hammer out
iron to wear as it wore. The tramp wht
abused it, the devil who used it, the comp
who got at it when these two were gone

man, each rubbed some grim off whilt
they put heap on. In, over and under
twas blacker than thunder, twas harder
than poverty, rougher than sin; from thu

it tapped on the wall like a banner OF tin

ier hue, until one windy morning, withou
Y any warming, it fell to the floor and wa

Novel and Useful.
ABYSS.

Retail gfocers, and other retail dealers
doing q credit business are adopting a
plan that is at once novel and decidedly
useful. They issue to their customers,
Coupon Books, (patented}, similar to
Mileage Books for Railways, but instead
of the coupons being one mile, they are
for one cent each the value of the books
varying from two to twenty dollars.
These coupons are good for their face value
in groceries or other merchandise at the
store of the firm issuing them. When
the books are issued, the dealer charges
his customer with the value Of the book.
When payday comes the customer pays
this amount, and meantime uses the cou-
pons for the purchase of supplies, same as
paying cash, thus avoiding all disputed
accounts and saving valuable time to both
the dealer aud his customer. Every retail
dealer doing a credit business should
adopt this plan, and should write the pub
fishers for information, and If every GUS
toner would insist upon his dealer using
them, there would be much less occasion
for the disputing of accounts. Manuiac-
