THE DEACON'S WIFE'S TEETH. :
They Had a Way Of Dropping Ont When
She Sang.

They Had q Way OF Dropping Ont When
She Sang.
At every meeting of the Congregational
Sunday school supsrintendents some one
tells a good story in illustration of some
point which he wishes TO bring out. The
meeting recently in Berkoly temple took up
again the topic that was left unfinished at
the last monthly meeting: "What Can the
Sunday School Learn From the Public
SCHOOL," This subject gradually led up to
the Choice. Tenure and Change Of Teach
ers in tho Sunday School," in which Q. W.
Carter spoke at length. Ills remarks led to
= very funny story by h. O. Bullock as re-
ported in the Boston Herald.
MIR. Carter spoke of the necessity of hav-
ing good teachers as something which every
one admitted, but he recognized the fact
that to get the best teachers was an exceed
inRly difficult thing. To change teachers
often was a great injury to a school. and he
thought, therefore. that it was often better
class rather than risk the alternative and
hurt the teachers feelings deeply besides.
Then Mr.. Bullock arose.
"There was once a country parish" he
said, ''wheIe the choir was led for a very
long time by the wife of one of the deacons.
For ten years she sang acceptably to the
people, and for several years more she did
not sing acceptaDly. Then it was made
worse by her getting a set OF false teeth.
These teeth came out one day when she was
singing, and the deacon's, wife didn't like
it.
"The minister and the congregation
didn't like it either. But the former was
like Brother Carter, n said We will wait
awhile; it would be too bad to hurt the
feelings of the deacon's wife, So he
waited. The teeth came out a good many
times during the next year or so, but the
deacon's wife still sung. When her teeth
came out of course some of the congrega-
ton laughed. Finally the minister was
obliged to do something. He decreed that
if tho deacon's wife was to sing in the choir
the congregation should stand back to the
choir.
'.Some of the congre CATION complied,
some didn't. That created division in the
church. Neither side would yield an inch,
and to-day there are two churches where
there was then only one, all because the
minister was afraid of hurting the feelings
of the leaoOn's WIFE"

A REMARKABLE BOOK

Count Won M0ltke's history of the
Franco-German war has been pub
ilshed in Berlin. The London Times
published six column review of the
work.
The work throughout is written in
that clear, terse style so characteris-
tic of the field marshal, and which is
so closely copied by the school Of
officers he educated to carry on the
traditions left behind him. The Ian
guage is absolutely free from inter-
mixture of foreign or Germanized
words, and it may be confidently
predicted that as a German classic ii
will take foremost rank in the
prose literature Of the century.
In the preface Won Motke says
that $50 long as nations continue in
dependent of each other there will
be disagreements only to he settled
by an appeal to arms, but in the in
terest of humanity it is to be hoped
that wars will become less frequent
as they become more terrible. Gen
orally speaking it is no longer the
ambition IF monarchs which endan-
gers peace: it is the passions of the
people and dissatisfaction with in
terror conditions, the strife of parties
and the intrigues of their leaders
which cause declarations of war.
Most of the London morning
papers have editorials extending
warm welcome 10 the French fleet.
The Chronicle warns France OF
England's sad fate in the Crimea,
due to depending upon German
friendship. 1t will likely be hers if
she depends upon Russia in the hour
of need.
The Paris Journal DIES Debats
wants the French Government to be
satisfied with the friendship of Rus
STA and England, and not attempt
the impossible task of forming an
other Dreibund.
The Berlin TagebIatt says: Eng
lands interest lies on our side.

MARINE liens.

Commencing with the steamship
Alameda, all the steamers of the
Oceanic s. =, Co., plying between
San Francisco and sydney, Austria
liza, will call at Apis, Samoa, both on
the outward and honeward trips, in
stead of transferring mails and pas
sengers to a small sailing vessel about
seventy miles from that port as form
ery. The alteration in the route
will cause about fifty miles OF extra
steaming. The traffic between San
Francisco and Samoa has decreased
wonderfully of late.
Two new marine engines will be
placed in the missionary steamer
Morning Star and her passenger &C.
modations will be enlarged. The al
terations and repairs will cost in the
ueighborhood of $4,000.
Battle ship No. 6, the Oregon,
which is now in course of construc-
ton at the Union Iron Works, will
be the first really modern battle ship
of the United States Navy. She 8
designed to have n displacement If
10000 tons. Her dimensions will
he: length 34S feet, beam 50 feet 8
inches; depth from the keel plate to
the superstructure, AZ feet. She
will have d double bottom extending
the whole length OF the vessel. The
Oregon will carry crew of 30 Off
GERS and 430 men. Room will be
provided for three months supply
of provisions, and the coal bunkers
will hold 400 tons of coal. This YES
sci is one of the three battleships
authorized by the Naval Construc-
ton Act, which was passed by Con-
gress June goth, 1890, and her cost
will be about 100000 By the
contract the minimum speed to be
maintained for four consecutive hours
is to be not less than ID knots.
