Had Read About samson.

A preacher going through dark
corner of one of the counties in this
section lately stopped over with a
family that never had a Bible. The
good man was shocked at this, ana
gave the man OF the house Bible he
had with him and impressed upon him
the importance that he should read
the Scriptures. Sometime after ward
tue miOister was passing through the
same neighborhood when he called
upon his friend to whom he had pre-.
sented the Bible, and in conversation
with him inquired, "How did you like
the book gave you!" "Oh, first rate,
said the Ian, Its a good book, and
has lots OF good stories in it. Ii that
is a true DRY about Samson and the
Phihstincs, old man Samson played
hi with EN-, didn't he?"

They Painted the Church.

A church in Jersey City needs paint
ing. Instead of squandering funds on
professional painters the trustees OF
this church are going to ecOnomize by
getting some of the church members to
help them. Most of these good people
have never handled paint-brush.
That will make little difference. They
are going to lay the paint on with all
their might. A firm of dealers in paint
will supply at a generous discount the
needed pigments. When the brethren
meet at the church, all armed with
paint brushes of various sizes and pat
terms, there will be such picnic as is
seldom seen.
A church in Kansas tried this home
made method of painting last summer.
The brethren who laid on the paint
were so liberal with it that it was not
thoroughly dry for several weeks. The
backs of the pews were not cushioned,
so it seemed good to the amateur paint
ers to adorn the backboardS with a
coat of white. This was laid on SO
thickly as to be glossy, and was much
admired until the first Sunday, when
the people who sat in the pews leaned
against it. Many of them stuck fast.
The pew-backs were dishgured by the
marks of the Sunday clothes which
were pressed against them. The Sun
day clothes were spoiled by the paint
which they took from the pew-backs.
The congregation. homeward bound,
presented two remarkable spectacles-
one from behind, the other from before.
The rear view gave the idea of a white
washed flock of worshippers. From
! the front the faces of the victims OF
homemade painting had discon-
tented and sorrowful look, as if just
let loose from funeral. The pastor
escaped the baptism of pigment, as no.
body had thought of painting the cush.

Berry Names.

"Strawberry. "A fruit. The word
is made up of s'straw'' and cherry"
The Aryan root of straw is star, which
means to strew-the star being a
strewer of light. By the time the Ar
yam root has passed through several
changes in passing from Asia to the
Anglo-Saxon land it has become strae.
Straw is a corruption of strae, which
means to stray. The strawberry is a
straying plants a strawberry in re-
ality, but owing to the corruption no.
ted is known as strawberry, So star
and strawberry are both from the
same Aryan word. Both are beautiful.
BERRY" comes, from the Sanskrit bias,
to eat. In Anglo-Saxon it is berga,
and in Gothic, bias, the same as in the
older tongue. the Sanskrit. The sense
of bias seems to be ''edible fruit"
Raspberry. THE old name was
raspise-berry. In fact, as may be no.
ted in Bacon's Essay, the fruit was
called raspes, without the berry. In
Italian it is raspO, a rasp, a rough im-
plement, which quality this fruit is
supposed to resemble-hence its name
raspberry.
stGooseberry.' THE word has moth
ing to do with goose. The proper name
is Qroise-belry. The word is 6ruS, or
kroes, crisp, curling, or frizzled-which
relates to the condition of the surface
of the rougher kinds of the wild goose
berry.
..Huckleberry"- THE same as whor-
tleberry, both variants Of hurtleberry,
which is but corruption of the oio
English heorot, hart (a male DEER
and berige. berry. Davenport Denaocrot
