Rest i'm Change.

Rest does not mean doing nothing.
That is the most fatiguing existence of
all. The vacation which does a human
being most good is that which gives the
most complete change from his ordinary
vocation, with the condition of course
that the change is a pleasant one.
Change everybody must have, or he
will sink into state of mental imbe-
cility or go mad Even the planets that
work all the time do not run in rut.

position to the sun every moment. II

A Church strikes OH.

1.-THE best paying church know OF is
probably a little country church in
Washington county, Pa" said A. L..
Rutledge, of Pittsburg. "It's Presby-
terrain church and is near Mcdonald.
Two years ago Mcdonald was a milk
station. Passing by there on train all
one could see were few hundred milk
cans on the station platform and the lit
tie church on the hillside, with its little
parsonage alongside. Well, oil and coal
and natural gas were discovered around
Mcdonald, and today there is an ideal
oil town there. with miners camps scat
tered about.
productive? Why, oil wells were
struck that flowed $4,000 barrels day
There was no tankage big enough to
hold the supply and the oil was allowed
to run down the hillside and into the
streams. Outsiders banked up the creeks
and scooped enough oil out Of the dams
they made to net them 800 a day, car
rying the oil away by the bucketful.
Natural gas2 Why, the pressure was so
strong that the greatest difficulty was
experienced in boring the oil wells The
gas formed a cushion that it was abso-
lutely impossible in some cases to drive
the augers through.
"Derricks were put up all about the
little church. The pastor did not enjoy
any increase of salary and the church
income did not grow until some of the
enterprising elders conceived brilliant
idea and carried it out. They bored for
oil on the church lot and they struck
it-struck it rich. At first the oil pour
ed out at the rate of 1000 barrels day.
The society grew rich, of course, and
the income is still flowing in smooth as
oil, and the little church ON the hillside
is one of the wealthiest religious organi-
cations in the state. Chicago Tribune.

A whirlwind in Kensington Gardens.


On a recent Sunday afternoon a curl
Gus phenomenon was witnessed by those
persons who were walking in Kensing-
ton Gardens. A rough, grating sound
suddenly filled the air. 1t appeared to
come from the north side of the park
and those who looked in that direction
in order to discover its cause saw an
immense column, dozen feet or more
in diameter and nearly a hundred feet
in height, rapidly approaching them.
1t was a genuine whirlwind on a small
scale. The column appeared to consist
of sand, gravel, dust, leaves of trees and
twigs of wood, and it approached with
a centrifugal motion. As it swept on
ward it was seen to be quite Opaque,
any object which it passed being hidden
from view.
An unfortunate lady who was in the
Broad Walk in Kensington gardens sud
denly found herself caught in the grasp
of the strange monster. People at a
short distance from her lost sight of her
for moment, and then she became Wis
ible again, but it was seen that her dress
was flying wildly in the air, and that
she herself was positively revolving just
as the column itself had done. Fortu-
nately no damage was done.-London

Historic Expressions.

The mace is an emblem of authority
and use in our congress as we'll as in the
English parliament, and though it il
merely symbol it commands respect
but it was never so insulted as whe1
Oliver Cromwell stalked into the Eng.
lish house to dispense the members and
dissolve the parliament. The mace lay
in its regular place, and when Cromwell
saw it he must have sneered at the
petty symbol, for he called one of his
soldiers and ordered, "Take away that
bauble." So, as the mace was carried
out, the doors were locked and parlia.
ment effectually dissolved.
The message of Commodore Perry il

had taken place, and the British fleet
were defeated. Then the commodore
sent to General Harrison, grandfather
of the present president, his famous dis
patch, I'VE have met the enemy, and
they are ours" 1t was but little
longer than Caesars, 81 came, |, saw,

the record for brevity when, after ht

A Bad Trait.

The absentminded writer, who, after
filling sheet of paper with what to hin
at least is valuable literature, tears il
up without knowing what he is doing
and throws the bits of paper in waste
basket, recently brought confusion and
horror into his existence by one of his
''thinkless" actions. He had completed
an article of several thousand words and
had finished Cooking it over" and max
ing changes and corrections in it. Thel
he sat back and let his mind dwell OIL
the subject upon which he had been
working, and working very hard and
for some time too. AS he mentally re.
viewed the whole article his fingers be
gan to do deadly work with the manu-
script. They tore it all into the finest
bits and threw them away.
Then the man got up with sigh OF
content that the work was completed to
his satisfaction. Not until the next day.
when he went to his desk to take out the
manuscript, did he discover how much
his terrible vice of absentmindednes
had cost him. All his labor and pains
were gone in fragments of worthless pa
per, and the thought made him faint
and sick. And yet he himself declares
that there is no help for him. He con
siders himself hopeless case" and
tries to make the best of bad trait-a
straying and capricious mind.-NeW

The Advantages of Old Costume e.

We should like to call attention not
only to the picturesqueness, but to the
convenience of the male costume dur.
ing the first twenty-five years of the Six.
teenth century. Many of our doctors
are assuring us that an extraordinary
amount of pulmonary disease is due tG
the fact that men are in the habit OF
going about Of an evening much mort
lightly dressed than during the daytime,
wearing waistcoats of thinner material
and open in front upon the chest, pre-
cisely the part of the body which should
be most protected.
Now the doublet screens the chest
from every wind, and can be made of thu
lightest material in summer and of thu
heaviest in winter. 1t is quite true that
the legs were more exposed than they
are at present; but at the same time if
we study infinitely the drawings and
engravings of the Sixteenth century we
observe that in winter the men are rep
resented as either wearing worsted
stockings, CATERS, or long boots.-Lon-

of banks and railroads will be the best

ground that the platform of the Peo-
