Au en Acoount 81 . Ben.

TWas only q little hen, with a Topped
comb and a flushed face, that broke up
the pastorate Of an able Maine parson.
She used to sneak under the fence, You
know, just the way hens do always, tip
toe across the grass border with the min
net step and then the elders garden had
to take it. OF course 1t was aggravat-
ing. Did you ever watch q hen at this
jobi
She trips carelessly into the middle Of
the garden bed; she cocks her head; a
careless look comes into her eye; she bal
ances partners with q fiipand scrape to
the right, a fiirt and kick to the left, a
double shuttle and a grand skirt dance
flourish. Then she looks for grub.
s Well. that person saw the whole thing
for days; same hen, same gestures, and
she came in miraculously, astonishingly,
through new hole every day. Then
came at length wrath and girding Of
the loins; gun, bangl-dead hen float
ing upon the placid breast Of a river
eddy. The current washed the corpse
upon the neighbours strand and then the
neighborhood beard the tale. The atroci-
ty was famed vigorously and the poor
parson found that he was not to be an
assassin and the leader Of the parish at
the Same time. Therefore his farewell
sermon. Dexter Gazette

e.ze,,e. and Human Sentiment.

In the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, in
q fine grassy inclosure, is group of tiny
animals, the smallest antelopes known.
They will come, about the size Of so
many cats, close behind their low wire
grating, and stand and doubtfully gaze
up at you with enormous liquid eyes.
And such is the effect Of their ittleness,
their timorousness, their almost absurd
delicacy- small, so delicate, those lit
tie, little hoofs, those little tender limbs,
those fragile fawn colored sides, that
little humid twitching muzzle; SO small,
and yet SO keenly, tremulously per
ceptive and 90 intensely sensitive; 80
little, yet all alive and quivering with
nerves; 80 small, 80 weak, SO helpless,
and apparently so untitled for aught ex-
Ecept to apprehend; such minute atoms
and specks Of sentient being, so lost
[Amid q universe's vast incomprehensi-
bility-that my heart has been smitten
10 look upon those miniature living
things, with the quite inordinate frailty
Of their body and the disproportionate
bigness of their eyes.
Symbols or suggestions Of humanity's
every aspect may, one fancies, be dis
covered in animal creation. And
think those antelopes are symbols of a
state Of soul rare enough among men,
and yet too frequent.-Edward Delille

A SOAP for Metal work.

The soaps used for cleaning metal
work usually consist of mixtures of vase
line, oleic acid and fat, mixed with a
small quantity of rouge. When freshly
prepared they leave nothing to be de-
sired. But unfortunately such mixtures
soon turn rancid, and become unfit for
use.
A soap for metal work, which is stated
to be free from this objection, is made
from cocoanut butter in the following
way: 90 kilogrammes of the butter are
melted in an iron vessel together with a
little water, and to the mixture is added,
with constant stirring, 1870 grammes
of chalk, 87.5 grammes Of alum, 87.5
grammes Of cream of tartar and 87.5
grammes of white lead.
This mixture is then poured into
moulds and allowed to solidify. The
soap so obtained is made into paste
with water and rubbed over the metal
to be cleaned, and finally removed by a
dry rag or channels leather.-Manufact-

One Shit for Six.

Writing in Century DIR. c. B. Gillespie
relates this incident of Sunday in Co
Iona, CAL, in 40:
A group of half dozen Indians espe-
cially attracted my attention. They
were strutting about in all the glory Of
newly acquired habiliments, but with
this distinction-that one suit of clothes
was sufficient to dress the whole crowd.
The largest and best looking Indian had
appropriated the hat and boots. and
without other apparel walked about as
proudly as any city clerk. Another was
lost in an immense pair Of pantaloons.
A third sported nothing but a white
shirt with ruffied bosom.
A fourth Haunted blue swallow
tailed coat, bespangled with immense
brass buttons. A fifth was decked with
fashy vest, while the sixth had moth
ing but red bandana, which was care
fully wrapped around his neck. Thus
what would scarcely serve one white
man just as effectually accommodated
six Indians.

Court Room Fright.

A. genuine case Of fright was devel-
oped few days ago when Charles Darr,
Of Colerain pike, entered the court house
for the purpose Of testifying in the case
Of Thomas s. Strahan versus Isabella
Watson before Judge Bates and jury.
Mr.. Darr thus made his FIRST appearance
In court. When he reached the large
entrance to the building, and the great
stairway doomed up before his startled
gaze, Mr.. Darr's teeth ratified like casta-
nets.
AS he slid up stairs ON the elevator
several buttons dropped from his clothes,
so hard did he shiver and shake As he
travelled the long corridor leading to the
court room poor. Darr was completely
ratified, and series of shrill screams
issued from his lips. In order to prevent
the man going insane from childish
fright he was excused, and he made
tracks for his country home at rate
that would defy the best efforts of fly
ing machine. Cincinnati Enquirer.
