Night Work And Cranks.

The other afternoon, a newspaper
man spoke about the weather being
rather cold, and followed up the re-
mark with the assertion that "we
people who work nights haven't blood
enough to keep us warm anyway"
"And, more than that" he contin-
ued he, ''night work makes a man
cranky. Why, L have frequently
been ashamed of myself the way 1
have spoken to the men who work
with me. L often feel like [ didn't
want any one, even my best friend,
to speak to me; and at home it is
the same way. Often / have given
my wife such cross answer that the
tears would come TO her eyes; then,
at a second thought, | would see
where l had made fool of myself
and an apology would have to follow.
Everything would be all right again
after a few minutes but then
don't like the idea of wounding her
feelings. even if a few words will
make her forgive and forget; but it
is the night work that is to blame for
it all. / know of many men who
have had the same experience as
myself, and all lay it to the unatural
hours of work that one can not avoid
and be one of the multitude who
help get out morning paper" Md

and shattered it will be found out that
the work was not done by the hammer
of the iconoclast, or by the sword of
the conqueror, or by the torch of per-
secution, but by the plain, simple,
overwhelming force of ssthe soft tongue
that breaketh the bone
And now [ ask the blessing of God
to come down upon you in matters of
health in matters of business: that the
Lord will deliver you from all your finan-
cial perplexities; that He will give you
a good livelihood, large salaries, health
full wages, sufficient income / pray
God that He may give you the oppor
tunity of educating your children for
this world, and, through the rich grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ, of seeing
them prepared for the world that is to
come.
Above all, I look for the mercy of
God upon your immortal souls and
lest [ stand before some who have
not yet attended to the things of their
eternal interest in this, the closing
part of my discourse, implore them
here and now to seek after God and be
at peace with him. Oh, we want to be
gathered together at last in the bright
and blessed assemblage of the skies,
our work all done, our sorrows all end
ed God bless you, and your children,
and your children's children. And
now I commend you to God, and to
the word of his grace which is able to
build you up, and give you an inherit
ance among all them that are sancti-
fed

One Legged Newsboys Fight.

Among the hundreds of newsboys in
New York city there are six with only
one leg apiece 1t would naturally be
supposed that these MANNED little fell
lows would be meek and inoffensive.
On the contrary, they are among the
most truculent and vicious of street
Arabs. Each one of the boys carries a
crutch, and in case of a quarrel the
crutch is welded with skill and vigor.
Fights are frequent among the boys,
and the manned ones receive and ex-
pect no favors A duel occurred the
other day near the Franklin statue in
which the weapons were crutches and
the contestants had two legs between
them.
One was known by the nickname of
Timpsey, and the other bore uncom-
plainingly the title of Crutchy They
were equally matched as to size. The
crutches We're used both as bludgeons
and rapiers. A sounding whack on the
skull knocked Timpsey to his knees.
While in that position he retaliated by
showing the end of his weapon forcibly
into Crutchy's stomach, which evident
ly interfered with his digestive appara-
tus, for he dropped his crutch, placed
both hands over his ragged vest and
began to cry. Between sobs he blurted
out:
''Dat amt fair, Timpsl I wouldn't
try to make no hole in your dinner!'-

Red Hee1ed shoes for Men.

French Washers have taken to wear
ing red heeled shoes. Under Louis XIV
gentlemen wore large boots; the out
side sole was in wood to protect against
humidity. In the middle of the Sew
enteenth century the boots were re-
placed by shoes, with bows of ribbon
and lace. The heels were three inches
high and painted red. Ladies wore
the high heeled shoe, and thought to
add three or four inches to their stat
ure. The shoe was in silk, embroidered
satin or brocade Under Louis XVI
white stockings were in vogue. These
necessitated white satin shoes.
The red heeled shoes that made their
appearance under Louis XIV contin-
ued to be worn, but not so high, under
Louis XIV, so that about 1875 red
heeled shoes were considered to be the
mark of a gentleman. But while the
lords lowered the heels of their shoes
the ladies augmented theirs, so much
so as to make them ten inches high. -
1t was under Louis XVI that the gold
and silver buckle, ornamented with
diamonds, replaced the ribbon bow
The Sans Culottes wore no stockings
and patronized only wooden shoes. For
short time under the directory the
sandal as worn by Roman ladies was
the mode Bands sustained the sole
while showing off the foot, and on
every toe was displayed a diamond

Cleaning Oil barrels.

The question is asked if coal oil bar
rels can be cleaned for meat. A friendly
farmer writes TO The Mining and Sci
entific News: Il have used them for
fifteen years with perfect success.
Knock out the head, set fire to a piece
of paper and put it in the barrel. The
fire will burn with n loud roar. Roll
the barrel round so it will burn out
even, and when it is burned one-eighth
of an inch deep turn in about a pint of
coal oil, roll around until it is spread
all over the inside, then fire again.
Scrape off most of the charcoal and
wash it out. 1t is not necessary to burn
over One-eighth inch deep. will guar

French Roya1ists Sell to the Kaiser.

1AOydAlSIs SCH 10 INC AAdAScEs
Three French royalists have just sold
the historical estate of D'Urville, of
which they were by heritage the CO.
proprietors. The purchaser is the Ger
man emperor, who took a fancy to the
place when he first visited Metz, and
has ever since watched for an oppor-
tunity of buying it. The estate in ques-
ton is wedged in between German Lor-
raine and Luxembourg. Some centuries
ago it was under the sovereignty of the
house of Orange, or rather constituted
a little sovereign state in itself.
Louis XVI bought it from Maria
Theresa and the Emperor Joseph for
$40, 900. The king was to have gone
there if he had escaped from the Tuile-
ries, and would have been guarded by
a regiment of De Bouille's division. AS
Urville was close to the Luxembourg
frontier he could easily have with
drawn from France if threatened by
the revolutionary army. The estate of
Urville became part of the national do
main and was sold to the Bande Noire,
but the old chateau and the timber in
the park escaped being demolished
and cut down. The castle is a noble
pile, and the park in which it stands is
richly wooded.-Cor. London News.

THE CHURCH AND THE LODGE.
Alarm at the Inroads Made Upon Re-
Icion bv Secret ORGANIZATIONS

Alarm at the Inroads Made Upon Re-
1igion by Secret Organizations.
What shah be the attitude of the
church toward the secret orders which
have multiplied so rapidly throughout
the country during the last few years9
With many of our churches no problem
is more serious, or beset with greater
complications. The problem would be
simplified somewhat if these organiza-
lions were made up entirely of men
who have professed no allegiance to
the church, but the place which the
lodge holds in the affections of many
church member is what gives rise to
great anxiety. Sad though the confes-
sion is, it must be acknowledged that
some men whose names are on the
church roll habitually give precedence
to the secret society over the church.
IF the meetings conflict the successful
competitor for their presence is the
former They have no time to spare
for the great religious gatherings like
those at Saratoga, but they will go a
long distance to be present at a con-
clave of their fraternity
At the meeting of the Vermont Con-
gregationalists at Rutland the subject
aroused the iveliest discussion of the
whole session. Resolutions mildly dep
recating the absorption of some Chris
tians in such interests were set one
side, because a few thought that the
formal protest would be considered a
declaration of war, and would embar-
rass them in their efforts to counteract
the baneful influences of these societies.
Yet not a man who spoke failed to adj
NIT that Christian concerns in his own
community were suffering on account
of them. Several who live in towns of
only a few thousand inhabitants re-
ported from twenty to forty thriving
orders.
We believe that Vermont is not ex-
ceptional in this respect. The lodge
using the term to include the meetings
of the various secret orders-will be
found strongly intrenched all through
the country, growing in numbers and
power, and everywhere detaching the
devotion of Christian men from the
church, and too often, we fear, from
the straightforward service of their
master. Recent figures, carefully COM
piled, show that Boston has 243 church
es to 500 lodges; Brooklyn, 355 church
es to sos lodges; Washington, 1S1
churches to 316 lodges; Chicago, 384
churches to LOSS lodges, and the same
proportion obtains in other Cities

NJ. Stambouloff, the premier and

they are now worth 81, 800 each.
A writer upon birds says that in the
fields and groves there are many old
maids and bachelors who apparently
never had any inducement to marry.
There is no doubt that the rivalry in
bird courtship is extremely keen, and
the choice is a deliberate one.
