The Sunday school was largely attended

new Bibles were on hand and used for
the, first time. Our superintendent gave
each class ten cents some time ago, as
capital to invest for the benefit Of the
school. Last Sunday these talents were
called in. The amount gotten by the
different classes was about 500 there was
no class but what did something. This is
simply beginning, other efforts are on
foot now to help. Sunday evening found
the church we'll filed at an early hour.
The PASTOR preached from Luke l5-4 5, 6
verses, subject, the "Good Shepherd, !"

hymn, NINETY and Nine," that hymn
has led hundreds to the haven of rest.
The congregation fully appreciates the
efforts that are put forth by all in the

IRVING COLLEGE.

Irving College, April l6, 1SS8.-We
have had very refreshing rain and
vegetation is springing up rapidly.
Some of our farmers are done plant
ing corn, while others have scarcely
commenced. Wheat is looking eX-
ceedingly well. Oats since the rain
are very promising also. Apple trees,
generally, are in full bloom and the
prospect for this delicious fruit is'flat-
tering. In fact all kinds of fruits
promise a large yield.
Prof. Etter's school at the College
is giving entire sati sfaction so far as
we can learn.

The residence of Enoch McMahan, an
old and highly esteemed farmer, near
Anderson, Ind, was burned. All the
family, except the old man, were away
at singing school at the time, and he
persisted in the flames, his half consumed
body being dragged from the burning
building with poles by the first persons
to arrive after the fire was discovered.
1t has been question as to whether or
not the old man was murdered and the
house robbed and burned to conceal the
crime. Leastwise, when the neighbors
gathered they found Uncle Enochs dog,
Mingo, bowling disnally about the
burning building, and from that day to
this the faithful animal has never left
the place. The house was never rebuilt,
and no one has since lived on the farm,
yet "Mingo" fingers about the ruins and
until recently slept in rain and snow.
For months kind hearted people carried
him food and water, and they built him
comfortable house on the spot where
his master was burned, and like hermit
he stays there day and night, respondent

The Paris Exacntinner.

/ There has been considerable talk about
Deibler's want of dexterity in dispatch
ing Prado After every execution we
hear the same thing, for Deibler is a
little, hesitating man, with anything but
an impressive way of doing business.
His appointment as executioner caused
many heartburnings, for, when Helm
drichs died, there were 800 applications
for the post. Deibler has married the
daughter Of Roch, the previous "Mon-
sieur de Paris" BE had also served as
assistant to Hendricks, and had made
several important improvements in the
mechanism Of the guillotine. Consider
ing his familiarity with blood, he is a
very nervous man, and he has never for
gotten Tropman's biting Off Hendricks
fingers during the operation of adjusting
the lunette. The fact is that it is very
difficult in fitting the bascule to SO work
it that the neck Of the condemned man
falls exactly into the hollow of the
lunette so that the blade should strike in
the right place; but Deibler was only a
quarter of minute in fixing Prado,
though, no doubt, it seemed much longer
to the waiting crowd, and to Prado.-

Flies and Wolves.

When visiting friend last summer he
called my attention to a curious plan for
preventing the plague of flies in his
house. The upper sash of one of the
windows in his sitting room being open
for ventilation, there was suspended out
side piece Of common fishing net. NY
friend told me that not fly would ven
ture to pass through it. He has watched
for an hour at time, and seen swarms
fly to within few inches of the net and
then, after buzzing about for little, de-
part. He told me the flies would pass
through the net if there was thorough
ight-that is, another window in the
opposite wall. Though the day was very
warm, l did not see single fly in the
room during my visit, though elsewhere
in the town they were to be seen in
abundance. suppose they imagine the
net to be spiders web, or some other
trap intended for their destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious fact
that in Russia no wolves will pass under
telegraph wires, and that the govern
ment are utilizing this valuable dis
covery, and already clearing districts of
the country from these brutes.-Notes

The Acrorolis of Today.

The town of Athens, and especially the
Acropoiis, is now passing through very
remarkable period in its existence. 1t is
with mixed feelings that even those who
reside here, and whose chief interest is
IN archaeology, look upon the sweeping
alterations that have quite changed the
character of its appearance. The tend
ency to demolish all monuments of me-
dl@val or modern history has been al
lowed free play of late years; in short
time hardly anything will be left that
does not go back at least to Roman times.
The line will probably be drawn here,
though if one regards nothing but the
work Of the great age of Athens as
worthy OF preservation, it is hard to see
why (for instance) the pedestal of Agrip-
pa deserves more respect than the
"Frankish tower" which certainly was
more picturesque and of higher histori-
cal interest. H
But now it is too late to regret what
may have been lost. Only two or three
insignificant fragments Of later walls re-
main, and those Of quite recent period;
when they are removed the Acropolis
will appear-but for the wear and acci-
dents OF ages-much as it did when the
so called "Beule gate" was first built.
This is an Ineligible aim, and we i'm
agine 1t will now be recognized by all as
the best attainable. The Acropolis can
never again present that picturesque
medley of historical associations and
monuments Of all periods that delighted
the visitor twenty or thirty years ago;
but we may hope, when the ugliness Of
recent excavations and alterations has
worn off, when painfully exact appear
ance Of order and arrangement has been
avoided las is promised, and, above all,
when the old verdure and flowers have
once more spread over the whole, that a
new and more purely classical charm
may be found to have resulted from the
temporary loss of beauty.-Athens Cor.

Puss Is All RIGHT.

The cat has ever been regarded as a
mysterious creature and has Of a conse-
Iquence been Stunned, as amateur swim
mers avoid deep holes, by the youth of
our land in their literary efforts. The
dog and the horse are VIGOROUSLY what
are termed ''old stand bys" as subjects
for composition, but it is noteworthy chat
the cat, though even more familiar to all
than either of the aforementioned ami
mails, is neglected in all Friday afternoon
literature. The kitten is much beloved
by reason of its frivolous and gay nature.
Its propensity to amuse itself with any
light object or, in default of other NOV
ables, its own feeting tail endears it to
all young persons, but there is an un-
natural gravity and air of absorption in
deep philosophical matters about the
mature cat which is forbidding, not to
say awe inspiring. tmay be that its UNI
canny nature has caused it to be ascot
ated with witches. Certainly it's habit of
being out at all hours of the night gives
color to the suspicion that 1t is baleful
beast. A cat acts as if it knew that the
disclosure of its secrets would result in
death to all its kind at the hands Of an
enraged humanity. Now there is some
thing frank and open hearted about a
dog. He may bite an enemy, but a cat
will scratch its dearest friend. A dog
cannot keep secret. A cat never tells
one.-Chicago Mail.
