FOOLISH HABITS.

The Folly of Picking Up Pins. Playing
Cards and Other Foolish Habits
A certain Senator of the United States
could never sec a pin lying on the floor,
or in the street. without picking it up
This habit OF pin-gathering he followed
fur years, and then suddenly broke it
off.
al saw o man one day prick small
dlcer with a pin and then throw it
away he said. 81 never picked up
pin after that. The thought OF the
foul uses to which some OF the pins |
had picked up might have been put,
quite overcame the habit"
We knew a clergyman who saved Cv-
cry bit of string he could find. No
matter how dirty it might be, or how
much time might be necessary to un-
tangle it, it seemed impossible for him
to pass it by. He was at length induced
to discontinue the practice by his ply
sician, who assured him that it exposed
himself and family to the danger OF
contagious diseases.
The other day we observed an ac-
quaintace stoop and take fugitive card
out of the mud. He carefully cleaned
it with his handkerchief
''It's bad habit I've contracted, he
said, laughing. "At first / noticed that
occasionally / saw playing-card in
the street. wondered if it were pos
sible to find whole pack. So began.
And if you'll believeit I've been twelve
years collecting that pack Of cards; ]
have found the same card over and
over, but the pack isn't complete yet.
l don't advise any body to follow my
example; but the habit is SO settled
upon me that can't seem TO stop it ."
The aforementioned habits, with
their element of danger from conta-
gion, to say nothing Of the waste OF
time involved, certainly do not com
mend themselves to any one.
We can not forbear adding to the
list practice more dangerous than any
of the foregoing that OF putting money
against the lips and even into the
mouth. No one knows who handled Il
last or what contamination may lingei
about it Let no mother give silver coli
to her baby to ''cut its teeth upon, foi
even washing does not alwnys destroy

During fifteen months the Ameri.

tered 2 s67 converts.
The colored women Of the South
are earning for themselves creditablo
positions as teachers among their own
race.
There were SIG conversions and
accessions in the mission churches
served by students Of Garrett Biblical
Institute last year.
The Massachusetts, Agricultural
College at Amherst has eighty free

No soul can preserve the bloom and
delicacy Of its existence without lonelyt

ness Of this necessity is in proportion

There were added, on profession Of
faith nearly 1000 souls q week, on az
average, during the year ending May
1889, to the churches connected with
the Presbyterian General Assembly,
North The total number added on
examination is given at 81, 962
1T appears from tho Year Book Of
the Church Of England that in 1875 the
number Of persons confrmed in En-
gland was under $4,000. while for
1888 the corresponding total was over
217, 600; an increase in thirteen years
of nearly fifty-eight per cent, which Is
almost four times as great as the growth
of the population.
One hundred and seventeen young
Indians. belonging to tribes in Dakota.
Montana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Indian
Territory, New Hexico and Arizona,
having finished five years course Of
the Government school at Carlisle, Pa,
left for their homes lately. Six were
regular graduates. and all speak
English. The young men have had
good training as mechanics and farm
ers. while the girls have been well IN
structed in household duties
The school Of the future must do
more than it has done hitherto in the
direction OF mental development; must
furnish better training for the hand
and for the senses; must do more for
the cultivation Of taste and the love Of
the beautiful; must kindle in children
a stronger appetite for reading and
personal cultivation, and, at the same
time, bring them into closer contact
with the facts OF life, and with the
world of realities as we'll as the world
of books.-Dr j. G.. Fitch, London.
The very Interesting discovery of
many years ago OF Jewish colonies in
western China is now well supple
mented by the discovery of Christian
clans or sects in Africa, south of Abys-
sinia. These wholly isolated peoples
have retained some forms Of Christian
belief and worship since the early
centuries, when Egypt and the lands OF
the South were in the hands of the fol-
lowers of Jesus. Mohammedanism
arising in the seventh century cut of
this section, and has obliterated Chris
tianity to the north of them. What is
left, however, of the better faith is now
so thoroughly degenerate that it is not
worth the preserving. Africa Is full Of
wonders.

Mesmerized Into Wealth.

An Augusta bank cashier recently
told me about queer experience.
There came into his bank seedy man
with wild look in his eyes, who said:
al guess I'll take that money" "What
money!" There's five hundred thou
sand to my credit here, amt there"
The cashier thought he was talking
with an escaped inmate OF the insttu-
ton across the river. II guess you've
made mistake" said he. Then his
visitors eyes began to roll strangely;
he rubbed them with his hand, and
sheepish expression came over his face.
'What-w what's the matter?" he asked.
A moment later it came out that the
man had been mesmerized, had been.
made to believe that he was rich, and
had recovered himself in the bank. He
was as poor as poverty, but had all the
sensations OF being millionaire for
about five minutes. .-Lewistown (Me.)

In fancy stand by the river
Where we wandered in years long ago,
Two lighthearted boys with our fish linea
Which we cast in the river below;
And stoop meath the crealSlng mills rafteTS
Where the sunbeams afirighted would steal,
And listened again TO the music
OF the wafer that dripped from the wheel
The sunlight falls bright on the water
AS 1t used in our boyhood's glad days,
And the forest and meadows resound with
The BIRDS halleluiahs OF praise;
And the soft, sweet spell OF the summer
Fills my heart with the same calm delight
AS when on our youthful horizon
The fair bow Of promise shone bright
We rejoice in the strength Of our manhood,
In the victries that crown us as men,
But we'd give all the fame that is ours
For half days boyhood again;
Just TO stand as we stood in those bright days
BY the river and old water-mill,
Care-free and light-hearted a-fshing,
Two bare-footed boys, Walt and WIN.

A Test OF Nerve.
From the Detroit Free Press.

FROM the OetrOit free freSs.
1t was on the line between Charleston and
Savannah, and we had run in on siding to let
the express go by. She was behind time, and
as q number Of us strolled around some one
proposed to stand alongside Of one train while
the other passed. The space between two
tracks is little enough, but when you stand
with your back to a car the space is frightfully
reduced. You can extend your arm and touch
the passing coaches. Only one man decided
to try 1t. The rest of us stood on the plat
forms. He stood midway of our train, his
back TO coach, and he laughed at the idea of
danger.
When the express finally appeared she was
running at the rate of 40 or 50 miles an hour,
and there was such cloud OF dust that she
might have been taken for Cyclone. She
came with a roar and scream. / saw the
man turn pale before the locomotive was up to
him, and the third car had not passed before
be wilted right down In his tracks, and when
the express had passed and we went to him, he
had tainted asadead away as any woman ever
did When he had been revived he said:
II thought I had more nerve. From where
stood it seemed as II the train was headed
right for me, and all at once got the idea that
one Of the coarches would jump the track. The
roar confused me, and the speed OF the train
made my fiesh crawl would not try that
position again, safe as II looks, for all the gold
you could pile on baggage car"

The Witching Hour.

Snow for hours had blown and drifted,
And the wrack went scudding by;
Specifically the branches lifted
Naked arms against the sky.
What cared we though time was fitting,
What cared We though winds made moan,
In the witching twilight sitting
All alone?
She within a rocker cosey,
upon q hass0ck low,
Watching o err her face the rosy
Cupid dimples come and go;
For the lover freight heightened
Every blush with ardor bold,
And her locks Of brown were frightened
Into gold.
Like the fabulous sack Horner''
OF the merry nursery page,
Cheerful from dusky corner
Grinned an idol gray with age;
And methought his dark lips muttered
What i longed to there ayow:
"Tell herr were the words he uttered,
"Ten her now"
Then there fell q silence sweeter
Than when air Is stirred with song,
Than when strains In mellow meter
Swing with rhythmic sweep along.
In her eyes look beguiling
Babe me not 70 break the spell.
Something told me In her smiling
All was well.
Slowly grew the iirelight DINNER
TIL the angles Of the room,
Lighted by no ruddy giimmer.
Melted In the shrouding gloom;
And not cen the ancient idol
Saw Loves apotheosis,
Or the presage Of . bridal
In kiss.
