There has been good deal of discussion
as to the best time for eating certain arti-
cles of food. For instance, we are advised
not to eat meat late in the day, not to take
fruit just before retiring, and to avoid tea
and coffee in the evening il a wakeful
night is not desired
Men OF mature years and good stomachs
are not devoting much time to studying
these questions. They will tell you that
watermelon never tasted better than on n
dark night when the dog was chained and
the owner of the patch was sleeping after
the weary labors of the day
Apples never were so sweet as when an
entrance was surreptitiously effected into
the rear end of the orchard and the invader
punished the stolen fruit with an assur
ance that the proprietor was not within
eyeshot. Cakes, pie and preserves were
eaten whenever the eyes Of watchful and
solcitous parents were temporarily off
duty. Green cucumbers We're smuygled to
bed and eaten in the still watches of the
night, while raw turnips were generally
enjoyed on the top of stake and ridered
fence.
In those days it was the custom of boys
to eat what they most enjoyed, when they
could get it. and to get it when they could.
Stomachs were not run according to any
time table, and yet a good many hearty
men can look back with pleasure to those
youthful indiscretions Detroit Free Press

Ashes on Cigars.

Few men protesting to be judges of fine
cigars know anything at all about smok-
ing them" remarked a cigar dealer. 1.-THE
ashes on the end Of the cigar serve to
retain the flavor, and should be permitted
to remain as long as possible. Then the
constant humping some smokers give
their cigars in the attempt to keep them
clear Of ashes often causes the wrappers to
break, and that also lessons the pleasure of
q good smoke"
He also added: Never buy ten cent
cigar let it be five or fifteen, or even
more, but Il ten never. The ten cent cigars
are made Of the leavings of higher priced
cigars and are never long filled, while the
five cent cigars are manufactured from Il
first class second grade goods, are long
filters, and, as rule, good smokers, unless
the purchaser is unfortunate enough tc
have 'two-for' put on him for a five cent
cigar "-EXchange

Monstrous Bears.

that the quickest and easiest way to make
the journey was by sliding. Says be:

several hundred feet my dogs bounding

"They were not AT all disturbed by my
presence, and in spite of my shouts. which

of THETA came leisurely toward me. His
strides over the snow revealed strength
and activity commanding admiration de

awakened by his proximity and evident
curiosity.

End of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Litigation In Oakland.
Rev. F. s. Hopkins has placed
upon record in the office of the
Circuit Court, of this county,a deed
reconveying to Mrs. Mary L. Tuck
er the property known as the Par
ish Church of st. Matthew'S Par
ish, Garrett county. Since the lit
igation began it was discovered that
the legal title to the church prop
erty was in Mrs. Mary L. Tucker,
of Clarke county, Va, instead of
the vestry of the parish. Mrs.
Tucker took sides with Mr.. Hip
kins as against the vestry and con-
veyed the property to him. She
desired that Mr.. Hipkins should
continue to hold services here, and
gave him the church for that pur-
pose. Mr.. Hipkins never designed
to act outside the ecclesiastical law
nor regardless of the bishop wishes.
After a full consultation with the
bishop and many prominent clergy
men, including members of the
standing committee, it was Thought
best that Mr.. Hopkins should be
transferred to some other parish.
After consenting to this arrange
ment he asked Mrs. Tucker to con-
sent to the conveyance Of the church
to the bisoph, but her consent could
not be obtained, and hence the
reconveyance to her, as abovestated.
BY this course on the part of Mr..
Hopkins a longand bitter legal con-
test has been averted and what was
considered great church case is
ended. Mr.. Hopkins expects toleave
for new field of labor in a short
time.

The King of Dahomcy,

The king of Dahomey, upon whom
the French are going to make war, is
differently described as fetish wor-
shipper or as a Christian. In his fathers
time French Catholic missionaries went
to Dahomey and persuaded the king to
remove and destroy a number of his
fetishcs. The missionaries, thinking
their labors ended, were about to de-
part. Then the king was disappointed
and spoke to them: 81 have listened to
your speeches and demolished my fe-
fishes. You have offered me nothing in
return. Before you leave, l now insist
that you show me your own God to set
up his image in the place of my lost
fetishes.' What should they do? They
saw the uselessness of trying to make
of the king true convert to their
faith in an invisible God, and their per-
sonal safety required that they should
satisfy his demand. So they sent him
statues of the twelve apostles, which
are now figuring among the other fe-
fishes of the kings museum of abnormi-
| ties and indecencies making up his cir
Gle of divinities. OF such kind is the
Christianity of king of Dahomey.-

Something to Say.

In Norfolk, Va, police court a col
ored boy was about to receive sentence
for some petty crime, says a corre-
spondent. 1t was evidently his first
offence, and he was not familiar with
court usages. When the judge asked
the usual question before pronouncing
sentence, he varied the form little
carelessly, or perhaps as relief to its
monotony.
"Well, sir, have you anything you can
say?"
"Yes, SIR" said the frightened boy.
"You have?"-the case had been very
clear against the prisoner. "Speak up,
then, and let us hear it."
To the amazcment of judge, lawyers
and loungers, the little fellow began:
