A Good Temperance Story.

John B. Cough used to tell the fol-
lowing story, though the joke was at his
own expense. Once, while on q lectur-
ing tour through England, he was in
troduced to q small village audience in
these terms: Ladies and gentleman-I

distinguished lecturer, Mr.. John b

a SENSIBLE GIRL.

Sorry to Accept Flowers from Her Lover
E. Because They Cost 80 Much.
''Oh! wish he wouldn't!' said dear
girl to New York Evening Sun re-
porter, as she opened the box and for
one long moment of pure delight drank
in the exquisite beauty and perfume Of
the great cluster of velvety ''jacks."
''They're lovely, and so is he, but do
wish he wouldn't!" she repeated as she
lifted out tho great bunch and thrust
them with the most elaborate and
artistic carelessness into . great cut
glass rose bowl.
"Why shouldn't he If he wants tor"
asked her listener.
She flushed little, but answered
bravely: "Because he can't afford it.
You see," she went on heavily, II know

am sure. If young men only knew it,

After Many Days.

The Llangotten Advertiser recently
related the following remarkable story
regarding missing ring belonging to
Henry M. Stanley. at the time when
the Anglo-American expedition started
for Africa, Mr.. Stanley was presented
with ring, on which was engraved his
name, together with that of the expedi-
ton and the date. Mr.. Stanley wore
this ring whilst exploring the lakes in
Central Africa on his first march across
the Dark Continent. The ring was,
however, missed, being either stolen or
lost. After eight years it came into the
possession of Welsh missionary to the
Congo, the Rev. w. Hughes, now presi-
dent of the Congo Institute at Colwin
Bay, who bought the ring from native
and brought it home. On his recent re-
turn the other day the missionary for
warded the ring to Mr.. Stanley as a
wedding memento. Mr.. Stanley, in &C
knowledging the receipt of the ring, ex-
pressed great surprise and delight that
it should have followed him from the
darkest regions of Africa

The Wonderful Congo River.
From the sentemher Sc1ihner.

From the September Sc1ibner.
For our knowledge of the dimensions
and navigable lengths of the Congo, the
largest and next to the Nile, the longest
African river, the world is indebted al
most entirely to Mr.. Stanley, it's discov-
erer, and the founder of the great free
state within its basin. According to Mr.
Stanley, the Congo is more than 5000
miles long, and in size and volume the
second river of the world, the first be-
ing presumably the Amazon. Like
the Nile, the Congo has one stretch of
uninterrupted navigation 1000 miles
long, between Stanley pool and Stanley
falls. Unfortunately for commerce, how
ever, this magnificent stretch of water
is separated from the sea by series of
insurmountable cataracts that compel a
portage of 235 miles, or two portages of
eighty-five and fifty miles and many
transfers. The largest of all African
rivers, and probably the most valuable
from a commercial point of view, more
promptly and emphatically than any of
sthe others forbids the upward progress
of the steamer

A Duke Sells Out.

The young Duke of Newcastle has just
sold his fine country seat of Worksop
Manor to John Robinson, bookmaker
and liquor dealer of Nottingham Early
in the century an ancestor ofthe present
Duke of Newcastle bought the estate,
when he could i'll afford it, merely to
prevent any parvenu of merchant or
manufacturer settling in the neighbor-
hood. Into the charmed region of the
dukeries'' of Clumber Park and We'll
beck Abbey, Of Thoresby Hall, and
Rufford Abbey this unbending represent
tative of the old English would allow no
lesser being than a peer to intrude.
Yet, on the bankruptcy of the late Duke,
the family seat itself, Clumber Park,
passed into the temporary possession of
Mr.. Fox, the umbrella marker, and now
Worksop Manor and its beautiful park
of 29O acres passes into the hands of a
man who owes his position solely to beer
and betting.

In recalling the memory OF the early
DAYS at Deadwood, Col. Patrick said:
"There will never again be another
Deadwood. From every state and terri
tory of the union thousands Hooked to
the spot, and yet it was the best-natured
crowd [ ever saw. At one season--lt
was during the campaign for county

from II to O'Clock to see from 5000 to
1000 men collected at one of the street
corners, the main gathering place OF
the town. A platform made of cord
wood was a permanent fixture OF
the spot, and behind it was q
blackboard Every day before
noon somebody assembled the plat
form and wrote the names of ten to
twenty persons who would be expected
to deliver addresses from the rostrum
for the edifcation of the people. 1T
mattered not whether a man could
speak: no excuse was received, and II
any victim attempted to escape he was
seized and carried to the spot by main
force. Once there he was always ac-
corded respectful hearing until some
body began to think he had talked long
enough. The first intimation he re-
ceived of the fact was blow from be-
hind, which sent him headlong from his
perch He was knocked down with an
empty tea chest, which was attached to
rope and drawn back into the store to
be used upon the next speaker. The
crowd screamed with laughter at the odd
appearance of the speaker as he fell for
ward, and another victim was pro-
duced | know whereof | speak" con-

Stop That Coughing.
From the Youths COMPANION.


How certain well-Rnown divine
stopped the promiscuous coughing
which was annoying him one Sunday
morning in church He was
particularly interested in his subject
that day and was preaching at his best,
and it seemed to him that fully one-h half
the congregation were clearing their
Threats, some from necessity, perhaps,
but most from sheer force of example
Suddenly, with no warning whatever,
he stopped in the very midst of a
sentence and stood perfectly silent
Surprise held the congregation silent
also; not cough was heard. After
holding their attention a brief space the
preacher said: 81 pause to remind you
that coughing is more largely under a
persons control than we are accustomed
to suppose" He was not troubled any
more that day by the sympathetic
cough habit.
