The Parson Was Too Hasry.

The Rev. Samuel G Smith Of St.
Paul is noted not only for pulpit
oratory, but for practical works. He
holds, it is said, that one atom OF
practical c Christianity is worth world
Of mere piety. He is ever ready to
step out of the pulpit and take hand
| in the enforcement of the laws. He
is himself keen in the use of ridicule
and as keeniy sensitive to its shafts
when it is turned upon him. He is.
therefore, ever on the alert to avoid
being victimized in any way. The
following joke concerning him is going
the rounds:
Some time before W. P. Murray
ceased to be city attorney, DIR. Smith
happened in upon him one afternoon,
leading boy of 12 years by the
hand.
"Mr. Murray, want you to have
=, wko keeps q saloon down here on
Fourth street arrested. He gave this
boy drink"
"Well ahemp r was the first char
acteristic utterance Of Mr.. Murray
with wink, a twitch or two of the
head and brush or so of the hand
over the head ana face. What
time we're you in that saloon lad?'
quizzed the attorney. =
"Jest KEN out minnit ago" re-
piled the boy modestly.

"Gave you drink, did they?"
Yaas."
And the boy wiped his nose witt
an upward stroke of the palm of hi

an expression of satisfaction. Mr.
. Murray scratched his head a minut
and proceeded.

The First Telephone.

One Of the most noted men OF
science in Newton's day was DIR.
Robert Hooke, Professor of Geometry
in Gresham College, London. He
had conception of the telephone in
1864, and what is more, he put il
plainly on record. He wrote: As
glasses have highly promoted our
seeing, so 'tis not improbable but that
there may be found many mechanical
inventions to improve our other senses
of hearing, smelling, tasting and
touching"
He then proceeded to mention some
instances in which people had heard a
whisper at the distance of a furlong
and he declared that he knew 8
method by which he could hear a mar
speak through wall a yard thick
He then comes to the telephone pas
sage, which is as follows: ~ car
assure the reader that I have, by the
help Of an extended wire, propogated
sounds to very considerable distance
in an instant, or with as seemingly
quick a motion as that of light; al
least incomparably swifer than thai
which at the same time was propogat
ed through the air; and this, not only
in straight line or direct, but in one
bended in many angles"
This was published 222 years ago
and it is good, although incomplete
description of the telephone. 1t is tc
be regretted that DIR. Hooke omitted
to mention the4neans he employed tt
imparf.sAhis wire the power t.

Bile, however, that he made use of
magnet for the purpose.

MATRIMONY.

I hold that everyone is bound to carry
In full effect the duties of this LIE;
That is, that man in proper time should
And live in love and harmony with wife.
If now and then, a woman prove shrew,
'Tis an exception to the general rule;
And I would deem him either knaye OF
who says that woman is not kind and true.
There may be men who shoul ne'er marry
As have heart affection cannot touch;
Buthe who bears the impress OF man,
And has a bosom filled with yearn1ngs
Should win the heart of some pure-hearted
And pop The question to her bravely as he
can.
Where, in her virtue, a sweet wife fulf1lls
Her gentle duties, and unnumbered Ills
From that love guarded precinct keeps
aloot.
And . he who finds wife," twas said OF
"Finds something good" and so always
The bachelor is a nondescrtpt-Q beg
His pardon, but it's truel, quite out OF place,
He seems to me, among our loving race
Unfinished; like chair that lacks a leg
A knife without a fork-a book unbound
lonely traveller On lonesome way,
Whe faint and sad looks wisttuly around,
But from the sun of love receives no cheer
If this be SO, why don't he go and marryP
'Tis Autumn now the birds long since have
And cen the flowers their nuptial time has
shared;
Then why should he still solitary tarry?
Were a bachelor, I'm sure I'd tall
A captive to some maiden of our land,
I'd scarce know how to choose among them
all,
Yet, in our day, a single heart and hand
Are all the law allows, and this is well:
The love of one sweet heart on one bestOw'd,
Is full enough to make his bosom swell
And teach his feet to leap along lffe's road,
Ye bachelors, goa loving helpmeet take,
And send around your compliments ano
cake.

You didn't ask me, SIR" returned
the youth demurely.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
a Remarkabie Incident.

A curious circumstance occurred
lately in Paris, before the Correction
al Tribunal. A very old man, named
Palgois, half-paralyzed, having been
charged with mendicity, a decently
dressed, modest looking young girl,
stepping forward, said he was her
father and requested that she should
be given up to her.
But has the old man any means of
existenee?'; said the president.
"The proceeds of my labor, sir," !"
answered the girl
But you must earn very little. .
Pardon, sir, I am very active, and
by beginning to work early and leav-
ing off late, can manage. Is it not
so, mother p she Iced, turning to
her old mother, who was also present.
The president paid a high compli-
ment to the girl, who responded by a
deep blush and she joyfally took her
father by the hand to lead him away.
The public prosecutor then rose,
and asked the old man if he were not
from Baune, and related to some
large farmers. Having been answer
ed in the Affirmative, he stated that
the prefect of police had forwarded a
letter from the Mayor Of Baune, an
nouncipg that rich relative Of the
old man had just died, and left him
all his fortune.
"You see, mademoiselle,'' said the
president to the young woman. !" thaI

How a Corpse Is cremated.

There are several methods of Gre
nation. Among the most practical is
that of DIR. Polli of Italy, who obtains
complete incineration or calcination
by the use of coal gas mixed with
atmospheric air, applied to a cylindri.
cal retort of refracting clay, SO as to
consume the gaseous products of com
bustion. This process occupies two
hours. In the Siemen's regeneratiye
furnace, which has been approved by
several high authorities, only the hot
blast is used, the body supplying
hydrogen and carbon or stream OF
heated hydrocarbon mixed with heat
ed air is sent from gasometer sup
piled with coal, charcoal, peat OF
wood, the brick or iron cased chamber
being thus heated to high degree
before cremation begins.

Darwin on carlyle.


CARLYLE sneered at almost every
one. One day in my house he called
Grote's " History ''"a a fetid quagmire,
with nothing spiritual in it." I al
ways thought until his Reminiscen-
ses appeared that his sneers were
partly jokes, but this now seems rather
doubtful. His expression was that of
depressed, almost respondent, yet
benevolent man; and it is notorious
how heartily he laughed. I Ibelieve
that his benevolence was real, though
stained by not a little jealousy. No
one can doubt about his extraordi-
nary power of drawing pictures Of
things and men, far more vivid, as it
appears to me. than any drawn by
Macaulay. Whether his pictures If
men we're true ones is another ques-
ton. He has been all-powerful in
impressing some grand moral truths
on the minds of men.
On the other hand, his views about
slavery were revolving. In his eyes,
might was right. His mind seemed
to me very narrow one, even if all
branches of science which he despised
are excluded 1t is astonishing tc
me that Kingsley should have spoken
of him as a man we'll fitted t6Eadvance
science. He laughed to scorn the
idea that mathematician such as
Whewell could judge, as maintained
he could, of Goethe's views on light
He thought it most ridiculous thing
that any one should care whether q
glacier moved little quicker or o
little slower, or moved at all. As fal
as l could Judge, never met mar
with mind so i'll adapted for scien
tific research.-Popular Monthly.
