Crying Babies in Japanese Church.

Syracuse Standard.
The Rev. Naomi Tamura, pastor of
the First Presbyteri church of To
kio, Japan, spoke from the Fourth
Presby terrain church pulpit last ewes
ming. Mr.. Tamura Will be remem-
bered as the young theological stu
dent who, several years ago, used Oc'
cssiOnally to speak acceptably from
syracuse pulpits while pursuing his
work at Auburn seminary.
"When / got back from AmeriCa,"

ministry that l had decided TO ao.

shook their heads and said: Better

"'Weil, you see they haven't had
any pastor for TOUR years, and things
have got little disorderly.'
"Well, took the church, and found

In the first place, the babies cried
Now you here in America don't know
what that means. You hush your
babies when they cry. But in Japan
the babies are let cry until they are
cried out and get sick Of it. You can
imagine the result when, on the first
Sunday, four babies started in at
once, and in the midst of the uproar,
a.couple of boys got to fighting right
under the pulpit. Well, l told the
ushers that next Sunday when any

Will be sufficient for our purpose and
show the general character of the

Now, when So large proportion of
teachers misspell 80 heavy percent
ages as these, and it be borne in mind
that no obsolete, unusual or catch"

the entire list, 1t justifies, we think,

jim Rakestraw and His Dogs.

From Southern Sketches by Richard
Malcolm Johnson.
Jim Rak estraw was q gaunt, dull
big footed, lazy fellow, with y house
full of children and more dogs than
these, including, sometimes, the
sides of bacon that were in his smoke
house. With one exception these
dogs were hounds, and that of low de
gree, so low, indeed, thstthey would
plumber hens nests, and even sneak
in to the dairy and the pantry and
help themselves to whatever they
found there.
Mrs, Rakestraw was an excellent,
industrious and extremely meek
woman, trying to bring up her child
rem well, and keep as decent house,
hold as was possible in the circum.
stances. Rut Jim, too INDECENT to
work, when not roaming about the
house and yard, went roaming with
his hounds, and tried to believe that
the rabbits, squirrels aud opossoms
taken in these excursions more than
compensated for the absence of what
his family might have mad, if he had
been without this pack of greedy con-
small but sufficient bit of ground
which his wife had Inherited from
her father.
On the place was dog of which all
the family, except Jim. were very
fond-an honest dog, who did not
hesitate to attack the hounds on their
marauding expeditions about the
house, although Jim had several times
whipped him for doing it. One day
Jim said to his wife:
Betsy, several people wants that
dog Sailor. Mr.. links specially told
me yesterday he'd like to have him
for q guard dog; and told him If you
hadn't any great objection to it,
rather thought I'd let him take him.
l didn't say 1 would positively and
PINT blank, cause l amt sure in my
mind that 1 can make a good thing
out of it," And he tried to look very
innocent and wise, but he looked only
sheepish and foolish.
Mrs. Rakestraw demurred, and the
matter dropped for three or four days,
when Jim announced to his wife that
rs she had been unwilling TO give
Sailor away, Mr.. jerks had said he
was willing TO buy him.
"Oh, Mr.. Rakestraw! sell a dog,
Mr.. Rakestrsw! Why, never heard
of such a thing. 1 shall feel bad to
see Sailor go; but I'd rather you'd
give him to Mr.. jerks out and out
than to sell him. L don't know what
people would think of US for selling
such a thing as dog, poor as We
are"
TITS no business Of other peoples.
But, when q man, and a rich man at
that, makes me a offer of $50 for a
piece of prOp'ty that's no more &C
count than there cur dog, that he de
nothin' under the sun but lay around
the house and fight my hounds every
chance ne git, when he sees my very
eye amt on him, like it were him
owns these whole preemerses, and
not me, why 1 say ag'In it's my very
july to take 1t; and my word Is done
passed to do IL and that tomorrow"
Twenty dollars? That does seen
big price foro-for q dog"
The next day Jim led Sailor away.
When they were out of sight the
mother and the children cried little,
but they needed money and $40 was

ADVICE about Canned Fruit.

New York Times.
Now that the season of canned fruit,
is again upon us, ,housekeepers will
do we'll to repeat the caution which
forgetful maids need perlOdicaIly-to
empty the provisions out of the can
as soon as it is opened. Often a most
dangerous acid is formed by the che
mical action of the soldering of cans.
1t is this acid indeed, which is re-
sponsible for much of the prejudice
accidents would, If they could be
thoroughly investigated, be found to
have resulted from Kitchen care less
ness. The thrifty Cook who
wishing everything in ample time,
opens her can of corn or peas an hour
or more before it is put into the
saucepan exposes the family to
danger which is none the less serious
because usually avoided. Open the
cans IL necessary, but empty their
con tents at once, and never set q
remnant away In them for future use.

The "two-Centn railroad fare ques-
future. This has been brought about
by the action OF some of the weaker
lines going into the territory Of the
stronger and carrying passengers at
less than the established rates. The
stronger lines have protested, and it
is an open secret that they have re-
solved to work for q 1.-TWO
cent-s-miie" rate, to have 1t es.
tablished by law in Ohio at the next
session of the legislature. The Lake
Shore and Pennsylvania company
take the position that If these weaker
lines can afford to do business coming
from territory other than their own
for less than &c per mile they can
OffOrd to handle the business in their
swn territory at that rate. The Off
Gals OF these lines claim they are able
to live on &c rate, and never would
have opposed il but through the ap-
peals to them by the lines that are
now foremost in making the cut.
The New York Central has an es-
tabIished rate OF &c and finds 1t salts
factory. There fifty miles means ST.
to every passenger, let him be minis
ter or travelling man. There are no
reductions and no mileage books, and
a round trip ticket costs just double
the one. way rate. This has tended to
simplify the work of the passenger
department, and the gain in the
earnings, from no excursions or other
reduced rates, equals, If 1t does not
surpsss, the loss by reducing the fare
from Sc to &c mile. They claim fur.
Their that the general public is bene
fitted by such rate, while other re-
auctions affect but certain classes.
For these reasons, and on account
of recent rate-cutting by the weaker
lines. the stronger roads are favor of a
Goa mile rate to be established by
law.

An Ungrateful Man Steals $4S From His
Roommate.

Roommate.
On January IA Edgar Doughty came
to this city from Morris, ostensibly to
look for work. He drank a few beers,
and night coming on he inquired from q
man he met where he could find hotel.
The man he met proved to be David
Sinsabaugh whowas veryaccommodating
and agreed to pilot him to hotel. They
first visited the David house, but could
not be accommodated. At the Earle
house a room was secured. In the mean
time Sinsabaugh told Doughty a pitlful
story, that his wife had died but re-
Gently, he was out of work and had no
place to stay. Doughty sympathized
with him and asked him to share his
bed. Doughty awoke first in the morn
and awakening Sinsabaugh gave
him twenty-five cents to buy some
whisky gBoth drank of:the half pint and
The whiskey part was Sinsabaugh's
story. After drinking he said he left
his companion in the room and went to
Hartford. He met a friend there a few
days later who told him him the police
were looking for him, for robbing
Doughty. He went to Boston and only
returned few days ago and was stop
ping with his brother when arrested.
Doughty claimed that the whiskey was
brought in, but he only took one drink
when he knew nothing more until ii
o'clock. When his senses returned he
found that $49 which he carried in his
trousers pocket, was missing. He then
notified the police. The only description
he could give of the man was that two
front teeth on the lower juw were
widely separated. 1t was by this de-
scription tina Sinsabaugh was identified
by Sergeant Dodds and Detective Egan
when they went to his brothers house
last night. He denied all knowledge of
the money this to-day but admitted hav-
ing been with Doughty. The latter failed
to recognize him in the box and created
laugh when he asked Sinsabaugh to
open his mouth, and he at once declared
he was the man. Judge Bradstreet i'm
posed a fine of $50 and costs with so
days in Jail.

MAMMoThS OF SIBERIA.
Frozen When They Died, Their Bonei
Now Cover the Vast Elains

Frozen When They Died, Their Bones
Now Cover the Vast Plains.
In his book on 1.-THE Mammoth and
the Flood" Mr.. Howorth advances a
new theory with regard to the remains
of mammoths and other large animals
in the soil of Siberia. All over this
great plain, wherever the ground is
frozen hard, are found mammoths and
other animals preserved very fresh, so
that the wolves and bears can feed upon
their remains.
, These mammoths have been found
from the eastern border clear to the
Obi river. They have been found under
conditions which make it certain that
they could not have lived unless the sur
roundings and climate had, at the time
they existed, been entirely different
from the present conditions. The re-
mains of the plants on which they feed
are also found, and southern contempt
rary shells are discovered with the re-
mains, pointing to climatic conditions
which no longer exist.
Mr.. Howorth believes that this pla-
teau is one of the most recent features
in the known physical geography of the
world, and that its rapid elevation
caused the tremendous change Of cli-
mate which has enabled the bodies of
great beasts to be preserved intact as
we find them. He says that unless
these animals had been frozen immedi-
ately after they died, and remained
frozen to this day, they would certain
1y have decayed and disappeared. A
single Siberian summer sun would have
destroyed them completely. 1t is known
that further east the bones of great an
imals have been found seventeen thou
sand feet above the sea under condi-
tions which Falconer declared to be abb
solutely incompatible with their mode
