Misunderstood.
From the New York sun.

Shortly after the attempt to blow up
Russell Sage, well dressed man, with his
hat tilted back on his ruffied hair and an
excited look in his eyes, entered New
York art store and stalked up to the
counter. behind which several clerks were
standing. The man slapped his hand i'm
peratively on the counter. ~ want
auarter " million" he cried, "and L
want it quick ~ The clerks turned pale
and stared at the stranger. A porter slid
quietly to the door to get policeman.
The well dressed but excited stranger
stared at the clerks in establishment.
"What the dickens is the matter with you
fellows, anyhow" he cried. "Can's |
get quarter " million without all OF
You having fts?" 'Pray, sir, don't get
excited" said clerk, patting the man on
the arm; 'sthe porter has just gone after 1t.
We can't get so much money in second,
you know.
The stranger looked thoughtful mo-
ment, then laughed, and the laugh gave
the clerks another unpleasant shock
.Ha ha !" said the stranger; II see, l see.
Dom t get alarmed. l merely want paint
paint, not cash. A quart of vermilion
paint" The clerks recovered their self
possession. Il beg your pardon" said
one, ''but you talked so fast that it sound
ed as if you had demanded quarter OF a
million We thought you meant dollars.

Scruple of a Lawyer.

The late Robert Toombs, Of Georgia,
had large practice at the bar, but he
always showed that he was more concerned
for the honor of his profession than for its
reward. On one occasion he said to a
client who had stated his case 20 him,
eyes, you can recover in this suit, but you
ought not to do so. This is case in which
law and justice are on opposite sides.
The client told him he would push the
case anyhow. "Then," replied Mr..
Toombs, "you must hire some one else to
assist you in your rascality." At another
time lawyer went to him and asked what
he should charge "A client in case to
which Mr. Toombs had just listened in the
courthouse. "Well," said Toombs. II
should charge $1,000, but you ought to
have $4,000, for you did great many
things that l would not have done.

A Farmhouse on the Danube.

By Poultney Bigelow, in Harper's Magazine
Lenzing was the name of the place where
we sought refuge, made up entirely OF the
farm belonging to prosperous peasant.
He welcomed us when we had dragged our
boats beyond the reach of the savage waves,
and took as into his big dwelling-room,
which was like baronial hall. Here was
space for fifty people to sit and feast or
have romp. Substantial rafters made
the ceiling; the tables and benches were of
wood well scrubbed He offered us beer,
and then his wife gave us bowls OF milk
fresh from the cow and strong country
bread, all the while entertaining us as invit-
ed guests. While the storm ragged we in
spected the premises with great interest,
for one roof covered dwelling house for cows
and horses AS well as family and servants.
The anteroom outside of the main dwell
ing 'halr' opened on one side to the
kitchen, above, to the bedrooms, on the
right to our ''hall, and ON the left to the
stables. But let us hasten to add that
cows and horses were cleanliness itself, that
every part Of their quarters indicated
scrupulous neatness, from the round little
windows to the extreme recesses OF the
valuted ceiling. The roof Was supported
by stone columns that would have graced
monastery. Their eating and drinking
troughs were Of stone, their wants were
ministered to by two as dainty and grace
full maidens as ever figured in a pastoral,
and such was the behavior Of these animals
that 10 well-regulated housekeeper could
have objected to them as fellowlodgers.
The veranda that passed the dininghall
continued past the stables, wherein were
about dozen horses and twice as many
cows. The manure was shovelled across
this walk and stacked up, Immediately
near it, and yet this veranda was the agree
able gathering place of warm evening,
As we chatted, two colts, a few weeks old,
walked up and about us, nibbled at our
trousers, and fingers, ubbed their noses
affectiOnately against each of US in turn,
and played with the big Watchdog as hap
PLY as if all there were pups in the same
litter. With such evidence of kind treat
ment, is it wonder that their livestock
is gentle and willing?
We asked our host if he found no ill
effects from so much manure beneath his
windows, and he assured us that he con-
sidered it wholesome. He certainly ap-
peared healthy, and his household as we'll
radiant with prosperity and good spirits,
generous with his substance; a good illus
tration of the Straubing peasant as describ-
ed by the learned professor half century
ago. He would receive nothing himself
for our entertainment, but finally accepted
contribution for the poor.

Kitchen Furniture.

The novice is apt to think that the needs
of the kitchen are trifing, and that pur-
chases for it can be placed, like itself, quite
in the rear of all else But truth is that
the kitchen table is even more necessary
than a drawing-room table and that kitchen
furnishings are really formidable rivals In
expense to those in "the front ROOM.
All kitchen utensils and furniture should
be carefully bought, for they are the tools
by which the health of the household Is
wrought. Health giving food and clean
apparel come from within the kitchen walls,
and whatever cripples its efforts to provide
these is lamentable, and should have no
place therein. Scanty, poor utensils effect
the variety, quality, and palatableness OF
food. and unnecessarily wear out the work
er's strength and temper. This needless
waste of strength, even in servant, is poor
economy, and in the kitchen the builder of
the home should relax her desire to save,
and freely and cheerfully provide all that
her practical sense of family comfort shows
to he needed.

England's Money Guarded.

The Bank of England's doors are so finely
balanced that the clerk, by pressinga knob
under his desk, can close the outer doors
instantly, and they cannot be opened again
except by special process. This is done to
prevent the daring and ingenious upem-
ployed of the great metropolis from rob-
bling the famous institution. The bullion
department of this and other great Eng
lish banking establishments are nightly
submerged in several feet Of water by the
action of the machinery. In some of the
London banks the bullion departments are
connected with the managers sleeping room
and an entrance cannot be effected without
setting off an alarm near the persons head.
If a dishonest official during day or night,
should take even as much as one from a
pile of 900 sovereigns the whole pile will
instantly sink and pool Of water take its
place, beside letting every person in the
establishment know of the theft.

Rev. W. A. Bunch, of North Carolina,
was granted leave of absence owing to Ill
ness in his family.
The report of the Committee on Frater-
nal Relations was read by Rev. w. H.
Bentley, chairman of the Committee. The
report commended the action of the Ecu
menical Conference, held in Washington,
in 1891, also the fraternal message from

messenger. Rev. j. Baltzell, and recon-
mended that ministerial and lay messen,

mended DR.. T. H. Lewis, the faculty and
students of the Western Maryland College

on Monday of last week. The fraternal
greeting of the Primitive Methodist Church
of England was read and commended. The
report also laid before the Conference an
intimation received to the effect that the
above church were DESTROYS of considering
the propriety of an organic union OF the
two denominations. As no official commu-
6ication had been received a motion was
adopted striking out that part OF the re-
port. The Committee expressed their ap-
preciation of the fraternal greeting re-
cciyed from Mr.. Vim. II. Barry, President
of the Associated Methodist Churches OF
Baltimore.
The following was added to the report;
That committee composed of DIR. J. w.
Herring, President, and U. 5. Fleming
Secretary of the Conference, be appointed
to receive any proposals of organic union
coming from any denomination, to be by 1t
communicated to the next General Confer
ence. The entire report was adopted.
An amendment was made by DIR. ID. >.
Stephens, of Pittsburg, substituting the
name of J. II. Hawkins in place OF Fletcher
Chambers on the Governing Board OF
Home Missions. The amendment was
adopted. The Conference adjourned at
1880 for the day having accepted an IN
vitation from Burns Post, G. A. K, TO

Paper a Hundred Years Hence.

From the Paper World.
Experts are predicting that the books of
today will fall to pieces before the middle
of the next century. The paper in the
books that have survived two or three GEN.
turtles was made by hand of honest rags
and without the aid of strong chemicals,
while the ink was made of nutgalls. To-
day much of the paper for books is made,
at least in part, of wood pulp treated with
powerful acids, while the ink is a COM
pound of various substances naturally at
war with the fimsy paper upon which it is
laid, The printing of two centuries ago
has improved with age; that of today, it is
feared, will within fifty years have eaten
its way through the pages upon which it
Is impressed

Java is said to be the region of the globe
where it thunders oftenest, having thunder
storms on ninety seven days in the year.
After it are Sumatra, with eighty six days;
Hindustan, with lify-six; Borneo, with
fifty-four; the Gold Coast, with ffty-two,
and Rio de Janeiro, with fifty-one. In
Europe, Italy occupies the first place, with
thirty eight days of thunder, while France
and Southern Russia have sixteen days,
Great Britain and Switzerland seven
days, and Norway only four days. Thun-
der is rare at Cairo, being heard on only
three days in the year, and is extremely
rare in Northern Turkestan and the Polar
regions. The northern limit of the region
of thunderstorms passes by Cape Ogle,
Iceland, Nova Zembla and the coast of the
Siberian Sea.

Sip Your Milk Slowly.

Many people complain that they cannot
drink milk without being distressed by it.
The reason is that they drink it too fast.
If glass of milk is swallowed hastily it
enters the stomach, and then forms in one
solid, curdled mass difficult of digestion.
At least four minutes should be occupied
in drinking glass of milk, so that in reach
ing the stomach it will be so distributed
that when coagulated, as it must be by the
gastric juice, instead of being in one hard
condensed mass, it will be more in the
form of sponge.

Most yellow or orange colored flowers
are phosphOrescent, if watched in the
twilight during July and August, when the
atmosphere is highly electric and not par

mon potato, when decomposing, gives light
enough to read by--a light SO vivid that

The reason for the red sunset indicating
a fine day to come is because the amount
of vapor floating in the air reflects the
beams of the sun and more freely trans
mits the red rays of light than the colored
rays. 1t is the degree of moisture in the
atmosphere which affects the reflection of
the light, and when red rays of evening
are freely transmitted the amount of mois-
ture does not approach the rain point, and,
therefore, promises the following day to be
fine
