Trouble wien the erammnrlnn..

A writer in The Christian World sends
up this little rocket to shed light upon
the confusion existing in the minds of
many very well educated people in re-
gard to the use of the two words "sit"
and 'set"-a confusion similar to that
which seems to attend upon the choice
of saying Twill" or ''shall:"
"A man, or woman either, can set a
hen, although they cannot sit her; neither
can they set on her, although the old
hen might sit on them by the hour If
they would allow. A man cannot set on
the wash bench, but he could set the
basin Oh it. and neither the basin nor the
grammarians would object. He could
sit on the dogs tail if the dog were will
ing, or he might set his foot on it. But
II he should set on the aforesaid tail, or
sit his foot there, the grammarians as
well as the dog would howl And yet,
strange as it may seem. tho man might
set the tail aside and her sit down, and
neither be assailed by the dog nor the
g-rammarians."

: Sattara assumed the title of Ch'hatra-
patti. or lord of the umbrella, and it is
by no means impossible that the word
satrapes, used by Herodotus for Persian
governors of Asiatic provinces, origin
ated in this way. Examples of umbrel-
las have been found on the monuments
of Egypt as well as on those of Persepe-
lis; their construction differs little from
those now in use, and they are almost
invariably associated with persons of ex-
allied rank. 1t is not too much to say
that throughout the east the umbrella
was everywhere regarded as the emblem
OF dominion and sovereignty. This was
doubtless due to its close association with
various solemn religious festivals and
observances, notably those connected
with the worship Of Bacchus; and this
connection points to n direct relationship
with the mysteries of sun and nature
worship. -Gentleman's Magazine.

Ministers, as a rule, are as fond of
a good joke as other people, no matter
whether they are the joker or the victim.
One evening when Mrs. Van Colt was
holding revival meetings in st. Paul, a
party OF ministers, including Rev. DR..
Dewart, of the Bates avenue church,
were present, and, in response to n re-
quest by Mrs. Van Colt, gave ''experience
talks" The Bates avenue minister was
the only one who failed to respond, and
was made the subject of remarks from
the pulpit, the lady not knowing that
DR.. Dewart was also n minister. Finally
she came down from the pulpit and,
standing directly over him, said: Young
man, unless you repent of your sins and
walk in the narrow path, your soul will
be forever lest" Seeing that she wa
laboring under a misapprehension, the
reverend gentleman good naturally lis
tened TO the exhortations, while his min
isterinl brethren were almost forced to
laugh outright. Noticing the broad
smiles, Mrs. Van Colt suspected the
truth and returned to the pulpit. After
the services a good laugh was INDUCED

Adaptation to Wants.

Much has beer said about the adapta-
tions in nature to the wants of mankind.
Another point of view shows the same
facts as evidence that man has adapted
himself TO varying conditions of life.
An exception to what is looked upon
as a general law is found in the distribu-
ton Of fish. 1t is observed that in the
warm waters of the Nile, for instance,
fish of many kinds abound, but they are
all Of poor quality. The same could be
said of the fish in all warm waters.
Very few varieties are fit for the table.
Now it happens to be the case that in
hot climates the lighter articles of food
are most in request The system does
not need in the tropics the meats which
are so largely consumed in the colder
region. The sending of fish from Nor
way to the countries about the Mediter-
ranean is one of the oldest branches of
trade in the history of commerce.
Where the fish was OF good quality
the population was scanty, and, on the
other hand, where the population was
numerous the fish was poor, Is it not a
reasonable inference nat both man and
fish have sought the portions of the globe
where the conditions of life were most
favorable to them respectively?-Youth's
Companion.

Across the sun In threatening darkness went
A great cloud, thunder rim'd: and silent, to
Their sheltering nests, the birds ndrighted few
And the June leaves were into shivering sent;
And soft young grasses 10 the meadows bent
And the hushed. heat charged air, more suitry
grew,
When, suddenly n bolt of fame shot through
The lnsurgcnt sky, wherein n fire seemed pent;
And down It's darkened bosom crashed q sound,
As massed artillery had broken away;
Then, rush OF mighty waters smote the ground,
For clouds, black souls that held the heavens In
sway,
With passion OF the lightning all unbound
Broke forth tumultuous, nor their floods could stay.
Poor rose, that but two yesterdays ago
Bloomed by the way so young, and fresh, and fair,
Something Of your old fragrance still you bear,
With kisses Of the wild rain. lying low,
The cruises have been lifted up, and blow
Thick starred with daisies, in the storm cleared air.
And the June lenves forget their half despair.
And rock the yellow sunshine TO and fro;
The skies are even fairer than before;
Yet with the rain your crushed leaves still are wet;
With life so sweet, can death mean, all is o'erf
Nay, chance some bird, your blush remembering
