The superintendent Of a Pittsbuho
Sunday school was told by the librarian
a few Sabbaths ago that two or three
playing cards had been found in one OF
the books returned.
Taking the painted pasteboards in
his hand the good mar delivered TO the
school a lecture bearing on the subject.
and closed by holding up the c-rds and
remarking:
THE scholar who left these in his
book may step forward and get them. +"
Singular as it may SEEM. no one was
anxious to claim the property, and the
superintendent placed the p~asteboards
in the breast pocket of his Prince Al
bert coat.
Later in the day he was walking
along the street with the pastor of the
church His brow becoming heated he
drew forth his handkerchief from the
inside pocket of his Prince Albert and
the cards iuttered to the pavements
As the pastor had not been at Sun
day school and knew nothing of the
previous occurrence it was necessary
for the superintendent to enter into
an exhaustive explanation. -Pittsburg

brick receives four distinct presses.

All the labor required is one man to tip
the clay into the grinding pan and one
boy to take off the bricks as the ma.

purposes for which this machine is EN-

are the forming Of purple ore, or ''blue
