Zeal in good cause is good. espec'
tally if it be "a zeal according to
knowledge" A highway surveyor
in Germany was called upon to build
a new road. He proceeded with his
task in an industrious, methodical
manner, and after much labor and
painstaking the road was stakeI out
1t was Saturday night when this
part of the work was finished and
before going home the surveyor
called upon the mayor of the parish,
He explained what he had done, and
added. 81 must ask you to see that
the poles are not stolen over Sun.
day."
Monday morning the surveyor
was on hand in good season to pro.
coed with his job but every stake
had been carried off. He went in
haste to the mayors Office.
"Oh, yes" said that intelligent
public functionary, Il had them
locked up for safety in the town

An Omission.

A few days ago two men who
were afterwards found to be Detroit :
ers, arrived in town about so miles
west, leading pig. 1t was perhaps
big enough and heavy enough to be
called hog, but they termed it pig.
and as they turned it over to the care
of the landlord at whose inn they
purposed to rest for the night. one of
the men explained
"Be awful careful of that pig. He's
a daisy-a new breed just from Scot
land. We've sold him to a farmer
out here for $50 and we don't want
anything to happen him."
The landlord locked the pig up,
and then began to think and cogi-
tate and suspect. When the stran
gers had gone to bed he called in
some of the boys and said:
five twIgged the racket; them
two fellows are sharpers. and that's
guessing pig. Tomorrow they
will gave you chance to guess at
its weight at ten cents a guess. and
you'll be. cleaned out only you
won't! AS the fellows sleep we will
weigh the pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was
taken over to the scales and weighed.
He pulled down 40 pounds to a hair
and the villagers went home and
hunted up their nickeis and dream
ed of pigs and scales and sharpers
through the remainder of the night.
Next morning the pig was led
around in front, and before starting
off on his journey one of the owners
remarked to the assembled crowd:
"Gentlemen. Pm going to weigh
this pig directly. Maybe some of you
would like to guess on its weight ?
I'll take all guesses at 10 cents each,
and whoever hits it gets so cents"
This provoked large and selected
stock of winks and smiles, but no
one walked up until the man said
that any person could guess as many
times as he cared to, provided dime
accompanied each guess. Then a rush
set in. Three or four merchants put
fifty guesses each. A justice of the
peace took 80. A lawyer said about
20 would do for him. Before there
was any let up in the guessing about
six hundred had been registered and
paid for. Every soul of 'em guessed
at ITO pounds. 1t was curious what
unanimity there was in the guessing,
but the pig men didn't seem to no
tice it. When all had been given a
chance the pig was lei to the scales,
and To-! his weight was exactly III
pounds!
"YOu see, gentlemen" explained
the spokesman, "while the animal
only weighs ITO pounds along about
eleven o'clock at night, we feed him
about five pounds of oatmeal before
weighing. You forgot to take this
matter into consideration !"
Then somebody kicked the land
lord, and he kicked the justice aud
the justice kicked the merchant and
the merchant kicked the lawyer, and
when the pig men looked back from
distant hill the whole town was out
kicking itself and throwing empty
wallets into the river.

People With Prejudices.

Persons without prejudices are gen
orally insipid. They are verv nice peo-
pie morally, but usually lack force of
character.
We like men who have decided opin-
ions of their own on all important
subjects. and who make a stout fight
for them even when in the wrong,
for in the sharp attrition between
minds of opposite prepossessions many
brilliant spark of truth is struck out.
Every human being is, or ought to
be, prejudiced in favor of his native
land, according to the N. 7. Ledger.
We have no sympathy with the cosmo-
polltan who says that all countries are
alike to him. It is not necessary that
the Englishman who loves England
should hate the French, or that an
American who insists that the United
States is ''the most enlightened nation
under the sum- should depreciate the
mother country" Te believe that
there is no place like home is whole

lousness of spirit, we most cordially
despise.
