How the Sinners Helped Him
BY REV. E. P. TENNEY.
IAN ACTUAL INCIDENT I

AN ACTUAL INCIDENT.
The cross and quarreling saints had
hindered the minister, and he turned
to the good-natured sinners in his con-
gregation. AS young and inexperi-
enced home missionary, he preached
every other Sunday to divided church,
and his parochial visits were spent in
hearing no end Of back biting. One
winter Sunday he found no fire. The
sexton gave him the key and said the
trustees would not take it or pay him
the two years wages they owed him
The tall, fne-looking, youthful minis
ter took the key and did not hesitate
to take the responsibility. After Script
ure reading and prayer, he gave a ne
tice and dismissed the congregation.
This was the notice:
81 will not hereafter preach to the
members of this church, or call upo n
them at their homes. But if there are
any sinners in this town who want to
hear the gospel, [ will preach to them
and | will call upon them at their
homes. In two weeks from to-day I
will begin to preach to the sinners and
commence my paroch1al work among
them. But we need wood to warm ap
the meetlng-house, and we need a col
lection to pay the sexton / want the
sinners, who wish to hear the gospel
preached, to bring all the wood they
can down to the meeting house before
our next meeting"
The sinners broughta a hundred cords
of wood and four hundred of them
came to meeting to hear the gospel
Moreover, they gave hundred dollars
then and there to pay up the sinful and
slnned against sexton. The minister
went down from the pulpit and picked
out sinner for the treasurer, and an
other sinners strange to say-for a
chorister, and one more sinner to play
the organ
The sinners heard the gospel, and
scores of them were converted; and
then the saints, too, turned from the
error of their ways, all but two or three
of them, who sold their goods and
moved out of that sanctified town.
And now the minister. somewhat
past middle life, has grown conserva-
tive and he would never make SO rash
an experiment again. He is, however,
still wise to win souls in his home upon
the northwest coast, where I once
heard him relate the story of that Sun
day when he preached from the text,
Brethren, these things ought not so
to be-"

A Din2er DeIicacy.

A dish of salted almonds is an agree
able adjunct to a dinner and serves to
pass the time between courses. They
may be prepared as follows: To cup
full of blanched almonds add table
spoonful of melted butter or olive OH
Stir well and and let them stand for ara
hour, then sprinkle with salt, using am
even tablespoonful for each cup of nuts
Now pour the nuts into baking-tirr,
place in moderately hot oven and bake
until brown, stirring them occasionally
while they are browning. The recipe
may be increased to suit any amount of
nuts desired. They are served in d
small bon-bon, olive or almond 7Isbes~
and one or two dishes for doze, ,estS
are sufficient, as they are inJendeG
simply as delicacies, and are not to be-
eaten in quantity. Peanuts are also
served in the same way, and are very
appetizing.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Impressive Warning Received by a
Bad Man.
There were three or four young men
making considerable noise in a Russell
street saloon the other day when po-
1iceman who was off duty and in plain
clothes entered the place. He heard
and that one, and of being tough and
full of sand, and selecting the moss
boastful of the lot he said:
"Young man you have wrong idea
of things, and one which will lead you
into trouble"
"Who the dickens are you?'' demanded
the young man.
"Well, policeman and philosophers
Iheard you talk of cleaning out the force
You would only get badly hurt if you
attacked an officer. You are no fighter
You think you have sand, but you
haven't. If you ever pitch into a man
of your size it will be bad for you"
"Don't give me no chinr' shouted the
man, as he jumped up.
ST am only telling you the truth. IF
you will step out into the yard with me
I'll illustrate my meaning"
The other was willing enough, and
out they went, and he sailed into the
officer In two minutes he was a licked
man, and so acknowledged, and as the
officer let him up he said: ''You see the
idea? You are simply a fighter with
your chin. You d dn't know it before.
and you might have been pounded to-
death by some good man. As it is, Z
haven't hurt you much. Let this be a,
warning to you, and hereafter you keep

Tho Chinese Alligator.

Two examples of the Chinese alliga-
tor has reached the geological gardens.
They are the first that have ever been
exhibited here alive. The alligator is
so distinctively an American animal
that the proof, so recently as 1879, of
the species in China was extremely in
teresting. Nevertheless, the Chinese
classics contain numerous references to
the creature, and even pictures, which
could be easily recognized as being
crocodile of some sort. 1t is to be hoped
that the specimens at the zoo will bear
out the notion of the extreme longevity
of the reptile.
Its name is apparently used in certain
parts of China in the same sense as
Methuselah in this country. Marco
Polo wrote about this animal and rec
commended its gall as an excellent rem
edy for the bite of mad dog and fol
various other complaints, so that il
seems to have been the medieval
equivalent of some of our much adver,
tised remedies of the present day,
Curiously enough, the beast is even
now made use of in Chinese medicine

There are two precious stones that

are wearing rings on their fingers. How
many know where the first ring came
from Straight from fairyland. A
merry sprite who loved a little fairy
danced with her on the green until he
was drunk with moonshine and he lost
his ring, 1t was found by peasant
girl and she gave it to her lover, and

Rich Men of the Future.

A leather merchant, not generally
known to be a rich man, died i'm New
York. A lawsuit arose from his will,
which distributed great legacies among
a score of colleges. The suit was com
promised, and the legacies will be paid.
Out of the estate of this unknown mill
ionaire nearly 81, 900, 600 will be given
to thirty-five colleges; half million
more will be divided between several
hospitals
1t is impossible to estimate the good
to students and the sick that these be.
quests insure for years and years to
come. There is no doubt, however,
that in general rich mans money had
better be given away before his death
than after it,
Many years may pass between the
making of a fortune and the carrying
out of the makers will. Besides this
useless delay there is the danger that
bequests will be diverted from their in
tended purpose. While man is alive
he can see that his money is spent as
he wishes. After his death there is no
telling what legal contentious and un-
foreseen difficulties may bring about.
Money in itself is worth nothing. Its
only value lies in what one can do with
it. Many young people are going to
make fortunes within the next genera
ton or two. If they will devote share
of their wealth while they can still con
troll it to the wise, generous service Of
their fellow men the value of money
will be realized as never before. -

One hot summer day after climbing
the old Government" road which
winds in and out of the gulches, but
always up from Copper Basin, my com
panion, Colonel Bigelow, and myself
reached the cool spring which bubbles
from the rocks Just before the divide is

is eight or nine miles away. The
mountains here are covered with tall
pine trees which spring from the
ground covered with immense granite
bowlders
Resting ourselves at the spring the
colonel pointed to a trail leading up
the side of the opposite mountain and
said: "a good many years since-I

II started out from Prescott, and
was coming up the trail on the other
side of that ridge over there, all the
time keeping my eyes open for Indians,
for in those days a person was always
on the lookout for Indians and always
had his gun ready for instant use.

AN oLp SCHOOL DOCTOR.

Oh, a wee man is my doctor,
And he knows no wise old SAWS
He has balm for all my troubles,
But he never hcms and haws.
An unwrinkled is his forehead,
And he wears his long hair curled.
His eyes are blue and shining,
And he smiles on all the world.
His gown Is quaint in fashion,
Short. to reach dimpled knee.
His are tiny feet that patter,
Patter almost ceaselessly.
When the shadowy dusk is falling,
And my home again sec,
Through the lowest pane he's peering.
And his healing waits for me.
All my wounds he binds up deftly,
And he pours in oil and wine;
Binds them with his arms so tender,
As about my neck they twine.
He gives hope Of bright tOmorrows,
As his cheek on mine he lays,
Weariness is all forgotten,
CHEEKY grow the darkest days.
All, the magic of his healing
Can't be learned by book or rulel
Heaven has taught this blithe young doc
tor
OF a very old, old school.
