A Ruined Bonnet.

A landlord in a small way in Asbury
Park found at the end of the season
that the lady who had rented his house
for the keeping of boarders was unable
to pay him for it to the extent of a bill
for S1S, which bill she said he might
be able to collect if he came up to her
house in the city during the winter.
OF course he did SO, and was shown
into more than half darkened parlor,
in the gloom of which he could family
distinguish the outlines of lounge.
Upon that he sat himself while await
ing the appearance of the lady.
Before she came down his seat grew
uncomfortable, and he changed his po-
sition to grope around with his hands
where he had been sitting and to find
the object that had interposed between
himself and the lounge. He took it to
the window, pulled the curtain aside TO
throw the light upon it and discovered
that he had absolutely ruined love of
a bonnet. He had bent it double and
fattened it like pancake. Not know
ing the price of bonnets, and fearing
that this one might have cost more
than his S1S, he incontinently fled out
of the front door and charged the
lady's debt to profit and loss. Chatter.

Only q Mistake.

Little 3-year-old Tom Gibson, of Cal
ifornia, ought to make a good lawyer
if he keeps on. One day not long ago
his father said to him:
tom, get my slippers. They are
under the bed"
Pretty soon Tom came back empty
handed.
: 'Fader," said he, you told big
lie"
How is that?" said his father.
''Well," replied Tom, 81 looked un-
der the bed, and no slippers there. No
slippers there, fader"
''That wasn't lie, my son." replied
his father. That was a mistake"
The slippers were found and the in
cident was forgotten until few days
afterward. Tom came running into
the house with his lips betraying visible
evidence that he had been eating.
Tom" said his mother, "what have
you been eating"
Nothing, mother" replied Tom.
''Why, Tom" said his mother, there
are crumbs all over your mouth Don't
you know you have told me story"
NO" replied Tom promptly, that

The Advance of Sanitary Science.

During the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries epidemics swept over
the civilized world, almost depopulating
it. Smallpox alone never entirely
ceased, and every few years it became
a great epidemic, even as late as the
Eighteenth century. Almost every per-
son sickened of it once in his life. An
immense number were blinded. OF in
fants, one-third died before their first
year, and one-half before their fifth
year. Asiatic cholera, the black death,
typhus fever and other epidemics also
wrought fearful havoc. Sanitary art,
now become sanitary science, stands an
able protector against such as these.
Armed with the effective weapon she
places in our hands, we no longer dread
such visitations. Yet this science is but
in its infancy. When it has reached its
full growth the filth diseases, now al
ready called the ''preventable diseases,
will be things of the past.--Dr. Cyrus
Edison in Forum.

SIGNS OF A SUMMER RAIN.

For their bells have been open the whole day

And they're flowers that tell no stories.

Though so far away they rolled over the rails
As plainly as if was near them.

'' For the sound of the wind was so hollow,
And when the winds moaning and signing
that way
Why rain-storm is certain to follow.

For when cats of her age like their own kit

And the wind, with splash and dash, threw

'Gainst the doors and the windows, each sign

One NYaY of Taking COlo.

On this side of the Atlantic single
shower will frighten thousands of house
keepers into closing their windows for
week. Warm weather may return the
next day, but the air blockade is main
tanned, and some fine morning the whole
family will be found coughing and sneez-
ing. "Caught cold" is the procopt ex-
planation, though their affiiction might
be more properly defined as congestion
of the respiratory organs by develop
ment of disease germs, favored by COM
bination of heat and moisture. Up to
the first of May, and even later, stove
fires are often kept blazing while the out
door thermometer ranges in the eighties;
children, flushed with outdoor sport and
drenched by transient April shower,
enter a room where the slightest attempt
at opening a window will elicit prompt
protest from grandpa's corner; wet
clothes are dried near the stove, and the
domestic atmosphere develops harvest
of catarrh seeds as successfully as a
batch of eggs are Matched in a patent in
cubator.-Ladies' Home Journal.

HOW One Man secured a wife.

Some years ago certain lawyer, now
well known, was walking down one of
the fashionable streets. He came to a
tiny fruit stand over which two pretty
children had control 1t was a conceit
of the little ones, indulged in by their
well to do parents. The judge-he was
then a young lawyer-had a vein of
humor in him. He stopped at the stand,
picked up the fruit, ate it and walked
off without paying for it. Of course
this aroused the ire of the little ones,
and they began screaming and crying
A young lady came out of mansion.
She was the sister of the little ones who
had been playing storehouse.
They pointed out the man who had
stolen their fruit and eaten thereof
The young lady was indignant and
overlook the young man at the corner
he was not running away, but only
making believe. The young lady, in a
quiet but firm manner, informed the
young man that he hadn't done any
thing funny. Seeing that his act had
created more disturbance than he had
intended he apologized, paid double
the amount of the value of the fruit
and walked on Inside of fifteen months
he became the husband of the charm
ing woman who had given him lecture
on the street for taking her sisters
fruit.-Chicago Tribune.

about a thousand acres surrounding
his country place, near Asheville, N.

the other day, ''is to get down at my

Ex-senator Palmer writes me that he
intends to make tour of the lakes on
one of his freight steamers, and after
he returns he will settle down in his
log cabin near Detroit. This log cabin
contains about six rooms, and it cost
S12, 900 to build. Palmer has a lot of
Jersey COWS, the milk of which costs
him fully as much as that of Senator
Evarts, and his farming is one of the
luxuries of millionaire. He blows up
stumps with dynamite, raises fish in a
pond kept fresh by a steam engine
pumping water into it and entertains
magnificently. He calls himself pio-
neer, and his house is fictitiously dub
bed Font Hill, because, he says, there
is no fountain and no hill connected
with it.-Washington Letter.

How the Ancients swore.

Speaking of Latin reminds me that
among the ancient Romans it was con-
sidered the thing for each man to have
some particular god to habitually swear
by. Some swore by Jupiter, others by
Mars, others still by Minerva, and so
on. The demigods, like Hercules and
Castor and Pollux, were also made use
of in the way of oaths Castor and
Pollux were usually appealed to as the
'"Twinsn by Gemini !'-the phrase
whence we get our exclamation "By
Jimmy" 1t was thought very improp-
er for Roman ladies to swear by the
male gods, but they were permitted to
take the names of the Twins in vain.
In moments of great aggravation they
might go SO far as to cry 'rMecastorl"
-'EBy Castor!"
The Greeks swore by the cabbage,
which was the most priced of vege-
tables, and even to this day the same
oath is often heard in Italy, while in
France lover is being intensely affec-
tionate when he calls the lady of his
heart his petit chou" or little cab
bage." ''By jingo" is from "Jincoa,"
the Basque name for God Barbarous
tribes have been accustomed to swear
by the head of their ruler. Queen
Elizabeth is said to have been a very
hard swearer, as ladies were very apt
to be in her day.-Interview in Wash
ington Star

He Wanted That Egg.

IN a cheap down town restaurant,
where texts from the Scriptures adom
the walls and cheer the hungry as they
discuss the modest bean or the domes-
tic pie, an old man was painfully con-
suming an egg. He was gathering the
residuary food which Glove to the sides
of the glass, when the waiter swooped
down on the table and cleared off the
debris of the meal.
As the old man vigorously licked his
spoon after its last excursion around
the glass, he raised his eyes and his jaw
fell.
Then he tapped on the glass with his
shaky hand, and said pleadingly to the
waiter:
waiter won't you bring back that
egg2 haven't eat it yeti"
And the waiter brought it back

CDR. TALMAoE,s FIRST SERMON.

/ The Great Preacher Tells How He Ap-
peared When He Began His Life Work.
All, how well l remember the first
| Sunday in my first church,
The congregation gathered early.
The brown stone church was beauti-
full structure within and without. An
adjacent quarry had furnished the ma
terial, and the architect and builder
who were men of taste, had not been
interfered with A few creeping vines
had been planted at the front and side,
and white rose bush stood at the
door, flinging its fragrance across the
yard.
Many had gone in and taken their
seats, but Others had stayed at the
door to watch the coming of the new
minister and his bride She is gone
now and it is no fiattery to write that
she was fair to look upon, delicate in
structure of body, eyes large and blue,
hair in which was folded the shadows
of midnight, erect carriage, but quite
small She was such a one as you
could pick up and carry over stream
with one arm. She had sweet voice
and had stood several years in the
choir of the city churches, and had
withal magic of presence that had
turned all whom she had ever met into
warm personal admirers. Her hand
trembled on her husbands arm as that
day they went up the steps of the
meeting house, gazed at intently by
young and old.
The pastor looked paler even than
was his wont. His voice quivered in
reading the hymn, and he looked con-
fused in making the publications. That
day a mother had brought her child for
baptism, and for the first time he off
ciated in that ceremony. Had hard
work to remember the words, and
knew not what to do next. When he
came to preach, in his excitement he
could not find his sermon. 1t had
fallen back of the sofa Looked up
and down and forward and backward.
F'ished it out at last, just in time to
come up, flushed and hot, to read the
text. Made very feeble attempt at
preaching. But all were ready to hear
his words. The young sympathized
with him, for he was young, and the
old looked on him with a sort of pater-
mai indulgence. At the few words in
which he commended himself and his |
to their sympathy and care they broke |
forth into weeping. And at the foot of
the pulpit at the close of the service |
the people gathered, poor and rich, to
offer their right hand.-T. De Witt
