was noted that he was more than

It was also remarked that evening
how Aunt Martha seated herself direct
iy behind Deacon Ransome though
her usual place is on the opposite side
of the church, The kindly old minis
ter opened the services and after u
hymn, sung to the good old tune of
Federal street, requested ,Deaeon Per-
kins to lead III prayer. Now was the
time for action; Aunt Martha leaned
forward and nudged Deacon Ransome,
who rose to his feet. saying:
Brethren and sisters, l hev pain
full dooty to perform this evenin', and
it goes agin my feelin's to hev it TO do
but dooty, my brethren. dsety aaa-

of kissin', yis, an hurgin' think 81 IL,
brethren Il girl, who wuz not his wife.
Brother Perkins it becometh you not
to lead in prayer with this ere charge
iiangin' over your head"
A murInur Of surprise swept through
the church, Deacon Perkins rose in
dignantly to his feet and was about to
speak, but was silenced BIZ Deatoh
Ransoute, who waved his hand i'm
patiently, and continues:
1.-The witness for the prosecution
will now come forward"
Ozro Meachim, sitting in one Of the
back pews, stood. but declined to come
forward. Turning slowly around the
deacon faced him and proceeded to
question him as follows:
Young man, did you, or did YOU
not, see the defendant in the aforesaid
act?m
"Thet's so, deacon can't deny it."
Ibid you. or did you not declare
thet, to the best of your ability, it wuz
not his wife; furthermore, that you
didn't know who t'wuz?'
"Wal, / said as how it wasn't his
wife, and ! said / didn't know the
girls name"
Them two dispositions are identi-
cal, young man," said the deacon,
sternly.
Cant say l hitch with yer thar,
deacon. don't know the gals name
cause she amt named yit. The dea-
con was a huggin' an a kissin' his gal
baby"
The silence for n moment was pain
full. Deacon Ransome dropped into
his seat like a stone. A litter, that
soon became shout, woke the echoes
in the old Westinghouse, in the midst
of which Aunt Martha swooned and
Ozro quietly slipped out at the door.
1t is needless to say .meetin' was not
resumed that evening.
The good minister took occasion soon
after to remonstate with Ozro on his
fondness for joking.
"Wal, you see," the young man re-
piled. "Aunt Martha was JUS a dyin'

Editor Roche, of the Boston Pilot in
the course OF his studies for his book
on buccaneering, found that Davy
Crockett once visited New York and
Boston, and much was made OF him.
In his diary OF that time Crockett says
that he was entertained by Philip
Hone, OF this city who was the finest

Crockett came to discover this fact

The Printing Industry.

An exchange says: The printing
industry is not only important in itself.
but also because of its immense gener-
al influence. The department in which
this influence is greatest is that OF
newspapers, the number OF which pub
lished in all countries is estimated at
41,0OO. OF these "a, appear in
Europe. Germany heads the list with
$500. then comes France with A., 100,
Britain with 1000, Austria Hungary
with $500, Italy with 1,400, Spain
with $50, Russia with 800, Switzer-
land with 450. Belgium and Holland
with 800 each, and the remainder in
the smaller countries. The United
States have 12, 800 newspapers. Canada
has 700 and Australia also 700. Out
OF the 800 journals published in Asia
Japan alone has 200. II this is any
measure of progress the latter country
has progressed immensely, for twenty
years ago it had no newspapers.

silk Umbrellas Common.

The manufacture and consumption of
silk umbrellas is steadily on the increase
in this country. To see cotton um-
brella in use in the large cities is about
as rare an occurrence now as the sight
of a silk umbrella was thirty years ago.
The rapidly increasing wealth of the
country, together with the great reduc-
ton in the cost of silk fabrics, are the
main causes which have effected this
change.
While the majority of the siik umbrel-
las in use are made of texture of silk
and cotton, the increase is in the con
SUMPTION not only of all silk umbrellas,
but also of the very highest and finest
grades.
One of the umbrella manufacturers of
this city says he believes that the day is
not far distant when a well dressed
American will not be seen on the street
with cheap, shabby or clumsy UNI
brella, but will deem fine, close roll
ing, natty one as much personal requi-
site as good looking hat or coat.-New
