Novel Cause Of a Suit at Law.

A few weeks ago an English clergyman
was made the defendant in lawsuit in con-
sequence of his ordering the postman not to
leave letter addressed to one of his maid
servants because it bore The prefix miss" be-
fore the woman's name The contents of the
letter which she thus failed to receive were
of such importance that the damages claimed
in the suit were placed at $4,000. The letter
was an offer of marriage on the part of PROS
porous young farmer, who waited sufficient
time for reply, and then concluded that the
young woman's silence was to be construed
as negative. Whether he married some one
else does not appear, but at all events the
maiden lost the opportunity to change her
name and way of life, and hence the lawsuit
The clergyman had very positive notions rs
to the improperly of addressing serving
woman as Miss or Mrs. or a serving man as
Mr., and had given general order to the To-
cal postman not to deliver at his house any
letters thus addressed to his employees. The
trial has been twice postponed through the
influence of the clergyman with the legal au-
thoritiee, and it is impossible to predict with
certainty when it will be reached. The feel
ing in the courts and among the lawyers will
doubtless be in favor of the clergyman, and
the chances are against the winning of the
suit by the plaintiff The use of the prefix in
question is much less common in England
than in America; if such case were tried
before an American jury the defendant
would pretty surely be the loser. An Anne
lean country editor is said to have offered to
write MIR. before or Esq. after the name of
any subscriber, on payment of twenty-five
cents extra on years subscription, while
for fifty cents he would give the prefix colo.
| mel or general to any man who desired it.

Very Sticky.

A New York gentleman, recently back
from trip to the West, was telling some of
his friends at the club about his adventure
with gang of highwaymen in Kansas. Ac-
cording to his own version of the affair, he
played very brave part-so brave, indeed,
that the robbers, well armed as they were,
were soon glad to get away in the darkness.
He would have pursued them, but it was
raining, and the mud was horrible. When
asked why he did not get officers and follow
the thieves the next day he replied that he
did; that is to say, he tried to do so, but
could not find the trail
"Why, how was that?" asked one of the
listeners. thought you said it was horribly
muddy. The robbers must have left tracks
enough to guide you"
$50 it would SEEM" answered the hero of
the story; but you see the mud out there is
so sticky that the rascals' tracks stuck fast
to their feet, and they carried them away

WHERE THEY DIFFER.
Striking Examples of Three Distinct Human
Qualities.

In town in the far west, a crowd Of cow
| boys stood around fenced enclosure, beside
the railroad track. In this enclosure was
confined large bull The cowboys were
amusing themselves by annoying in many
| ways the poor brute, who was fast becoming
! furious.
Suddenly, ono of their number, lightly
Vaulled the fence, landed squarely astride Of
the bulls neck, and grasped him by the horns.
The infuriated animal plunged and snorted,
but his rider, with wonderful agility, quickly
leaped to the ground, and before the bull
could turn and gore him, sprang over the
fence again, to be greeted by the applause of
his comrades.
Their attention was soon diverted, how
ever, by the arrival of passenger train
which was just drawing up to the station
across the street, and the cowboys, with
characteristic shouts and laughter, ran across
towards the platform.
Meanwhile, the now maddened bull had
succeeded in breaking through the fence, and
with tossing head and lashiDg tail was trot-
ting across the street, believing as he went.
Just then young man, satchel in hand,
came running down the street to catch the
train, passing on his way some farmers who
were standing some distance from the bull
They shouted to the young man as he
passed Hi, there! Stopl The bull
The bull~ but he kept on, with a
wave of the hand and an Gall right I'll look
out for him."
The nexl ms ant the bull saw him, and with
lowered horns, ran to head him off. But the
young man was fast runner. He passed
just in front Of the bulls head, which, the
next instant, brought up with thud against
the side of the station. 1t was a very close
shave.
Dazed by the shock, the bull stood still for
moment, then turned just as two children,
who had arrived on the train and had passed
through the station, started to cross the street.
When they turned the corner of the building
they caught the animals eye and quick as a
fash he charged them.
A cry of horror went up from the group of
farmers as the two little girls, now aware of
their danger, started to run hand in hand.
A stalwart young farmer soon appeared
short distance behind them. He took in the
overlook the bull when but a few feet from
the children, quickly grasped with both hands
the horn nearest him, set his feet firmly and
with one quick, strong, downward and back
ward jerk, threw the animal heavily 10 the
ground.
With the help of the other farmers, who by
this time had reached the spot, the bull was
secured and led away where he could do no
more harm.
Thus, in less time than it has taken 10 tell
it all, occurred perfect examples of three dis
tinct human qualities, which in the minds of
many people are often onfounded-bravado,
and courage.

is going there" There was once an artist
who painted picture Of Adam and Eve in
the Garden of Eden. 1t was exhibited public
ly. One day the painter, entering the hall,
saw two men, who appeared to be farmers,
standing before the picture.
Now" said the artist to himself, II can

He drew near and listened to what the
farmers were saying.

there's one thing about it that strikes me as

The Language Of Animals.

Every one who has heard dog or horse
welcome its master with EXPLANATIONS of
joy, or cat plaintively mewing for its food,
ought to believe that animals can talk The
dog has different sounds to express hanger,
pain, joy, sorrow, thanks and fear. Birds
have different songs and notes to ex-
press their feelings. We recognize their
songs of victory and of love, as well
as the notes of anger aud fear. 1t is
evident that these notes are understood
not only within the limits of one species
but among other birds; for different tribes
often make a common cause of JOY and bat
tie. Monkeys EXPIRE IS their passions, fears,
and desires by various cries and gestures.
Some of the most uncivilized languages are
but little richer tnan theirs Abbott tells Us
that crows have twenty seven distinct cries
or utlerauces. Many scientists believe that
certain sounds made by fishes are for the pur-
pose Of expressing their feelings. 1t is clear
TO the careful observer that language is uni
versal wherever there Is sensation, and all
animal life more or less inter-communicative

Self Control.

A truth that needs repetition over and over
again in this age of moral skepticism is that
effort at self-control, resolutely kept up, will
modify restless, uneven nature, and in time
attain good degree of evenness and balance.
Most of the cranky, ill-adjusted people we
meet have made little effort to improve them.
selves, and so tended to become more and
more out of-sorts with themselves and the
world. Power of self-control certainly comes
through earnest determination, and unless the
person is actually diseased or defective in
nervous constitution it can be obtained in a
great degree and be a source of much COM
fort The trouble with many people who
would like to be in better mental condition,
is that they are disnclined to the serious
work that is indispensable to secure il. .q1
