subsequent visit she addressed the
lady, saying, ~ think you are afraid

"Oh, no." The ombra then said, But

fact, for she was so alarmed that she
had given notice to leave.
This lady was remarkably unfortu-

"The half-the half was not told mel"
IT IS THE OLD STORY.
Everybody tells it, Isaiah told it,
John told it, Paul told it, Ezekiel
told it, Luther told it, CALVIN told it,
John Milton told it-everybody tells
it; and yet-and yet when the mid
Mi CHIT shall fly the hills, and Christ
shall marshal his great army, and
China, dashing her idols into the dust,
shall hear the voice OF God and wheel
into line; and India, destroying her
Juggernaut and snatching up her little
children from the Ganges, shall hear
the voice OF God and wheel into line;
and vine-covered Italy, and all the
nations OF the earth shall hear the
voice OF God and fall into line; then
the church which has been toiling and
struggling through the centuries, robed
and sarlanded like a bride adorned
for her husband, shall put aside her
veil and look up into the face of her
Lord and King and say: 1.-The half
the half was not told mel
Well, there is coming greater sur
prise to every Christian-a greater
surprise than anything have de-
p;cted. Heaven is an old story. Ev.
ervbody talks about it. There is
hardly a hymn in the hymn book that
does not refer to it. Children read
about it in Sabbath school book.
Aged men put on their spectacles to
study it. We say it is q harbor from
the storm. We call it our home We
say it is Il house OF many mansions.
We weave together all sweet, beauti-
full, delicate,
EXHILARANT WORDS;
we weave Them into letters, and then
we spell it out in rose and lily and
amaranth. And yet that place is 60
ing to be q surprise to the most intel
ligent Christian. Like the Queen of
Sheba, the report has come to us from
far country, and many OF us have
started. 1t is desert march but we
urge on the camel. What though our
feet be blistered on the way? We are
fastening to the palace. We take all
our loves and hopes and Christian
ambition, as frankincense and myrrh
and cassia to the great King. We
must not halt. The night is coming
on and it is not safe out here in the
desert. Urge on the camels. I see the
domes against the sky, and the houses
OF Lebanon, and the temples and the
gardens. See the fountains dance in
the sun and the gates flash as they
open to let in the poor pilgrims.
Send the word up to the palace that
we are coming and that we are weary
OF the march of the desert. The King
will come and say: welcome to the
palace; battle in these waters, incline
on these banks. Take this cinnamon
and frankincense and myrrh and put
it upon q censor and swing it before
the altar" And yet, my friends, when
heaven bursts upon us it will be a
greater surprise than that-Jesus on
the throne and we made like him! All
our Christian friends surrounding us
in glory All our sorrows and tears
and sins gone by forever! The thous-
ands and thousands, the one hundred
and forty and four thousand, the great
multitudes that no man can number,
will cry, world without end: 1.-THE half
the half was not told us!''

A New Process for ColorIng skins

New Process for Coloring Skins.
BY a new process now being intro
duced the coloring OF sheepskins for
rugs, ETC., has been much simplilied,
while at the same time theappearance
is said to be considerably improved
beyond the ordinary article Accord
ing to this method the skins, after
being tanned in the usual manner, are
well watered and nailed fat on a
board OF corresponding size with flesh
side downward.
A bath or beck is made up with the
colors required, and the board with
skin allowed to float upon it, so that
the wool hangs downward; the beck is
thengradually heated up to the temper
allure necessary for dyeing, care being
taken that no waves are produced
the point of consideration in this re-
spect being not to allow full boiling to
be reacbed-and. after the dyeing is
accomplished, the skin is rinscd on
the board, then ioosened and dried.
Ii many skins are to be dried, large,
shallow watts and casks are fitted up,
upon which may float the boards, the
latter to be we'll dried to prevent

HE RUED HIS BARGAIN,

The Buyer OF a Marked-Down Bull
dog Wants to Return the Goods.
An excited young man dislocated
the bell-knob beside the door of a dog
fancier's store on Ninth street the
other evening, says the Philadelphia
Times, by a vigorous jerk some time
after the proprietor had retired for
the night, and performed lively reel
on the pavement to keep his blood in
circulation while he was awaiting ad-
mttance.
"Hello!" he said, when a window
above was raised and q nightcapped

"ilow's that?" demanded the dealer
in embryo sausages, leaning farther
out OF the window so as to get good
look at the other. "Don't he suit
you?"
''No, he don't the young man said
promptly, and I'll be willing to part
with him without any consideration

tied the bloodthirsty brute to the

"Well?"
"He's there yet, that's all, and my
wife has been spending the evening
with the neighbors. l don't like to
disturb him myself, although I'd like
to get iii the house so as to assist my
mother-in-law off the OF OF the porch.
II you'll come out and get the dog I'll

A noise, which sounded suspiciously
like chuckle, came from above and
interrupted the speaker as the window
was shut down. Then the young man
proceeded with the intricate steps OF
the reel while he awaited the appear
ance OF the dog-dealer, occasionally
varying the performance by audible
expression of sentiments regarding
marked-down bulldogs that could
only be represented here in long blank
lines.

Cost of Sending Coupon Bond.

care you aware of the enormous
expense of sending coupon bonds
across the Atlantic?' asked a gentle
man OF a friend. with whom. he was
conversing on things in general at the
Laclede. The gentleman answered
"No." "Well, let me give you an i'll
stance" said the quest1oner. "Mr
Gabei has just left New York for Glas-
gov with s2,5OO,OOO for your city.
When first heard of his being sent
some 1000 miles, l thought it was
piece OF folly, a waste OF time and
waste of money. But find it was
an economic step, after all. The ship
ping companies charge at the rate OF
$3.50 for one thousand dollars worth
of bonds, and SO more for marine in
surance-that is $3.50 for each one
thousand dollars worth. A slight
calculation shows that the total
charges on the sum named would be
$13,75O; so that it is much cheaper
to pay the expenses OF a trip than to
pay the freightage."

Now that the New York Herald
admits cuts and display type, the

lonesome with its straight-laced
regulations REFRESHING the budding
genius of the enterprising adver-
tiser. Since Mr. Bennett, who was
the high priest of the old system,
has fallen into modern ways, it is
not time for great paper like the
Eagle to awake to the needs of he
business community? Printers Ink
is confident that if its publishers
were some day to make up form
with a few live advertising blocks
scattered through, they would be
so charmed with the effect that
