The members of the Independent
Order OF Enthusiastic Good Fellows
were operating on Mr. Tlmberwheel,
a few weeks ago, putting him through
the operations supposed to be neces.
sary to convert the ordinary citizen
into an Enthusiastic Good Fellow.
They were almost through with the
initiation when some kind Of an ex-
ploslon In the store over which the
hall was situated blew the building
into the middle Of the street and In
terfered with the ceremonies.
Ready hands set to work and extrl-
Gated the people from the debris
Fortunately no one was hurt very
much, but after census had been
taken Mr.. Timberwheel was found to
be missing. A search was instituted,
and before long he was found in an
adjoining yard, where the force Of
the explosion had landed him. He
sat in a lodge-room chair and his eyes
were still bllndfolded.
"Why on earth didn't you take that
thing off your eyes and get out Of the
chair when the explosion occurred9'
asked one of the Enthusiastic Good
Fellows.
"Exploslonl" echoed Tlmberwheel.
"Why, / thought that was part Of the

standing orders for as many hammers
as David Maypole could make. And
from that day to this he has gone on
making hammers, until now he has
one hundred and fifteen men at work
for him. He has never pushed, never
borrowed, never tried to compete
with Others In price, because other
men had done so. His only care has
been to make perfect hammer,
to make as many hammers as
people wanted and no more, and to
sell them at fair, reasonable price.
Now, here is a bit Of good advice,
boys; Whatever you undertake, do 10
perfectly, with your might, and you
will succeed.

In the case Of a French countess
who left all her property to the Pope,
the French court, in the action on
the part of the natural heirs Of the
countess to break the will, decided
that the Pope could not hold land in
France-not because he was foreign
sovereign, but because he was not a
concrete person, but an abstraction,
standing for the school Of ideas known
as Christianity, and because an abb
stract idea cannot hold real estate in
France.

Queer Custom.

At Axum, in Abyssinia, a singuisr
custom is observed. When any person
is injured he gets hold, If possible, OF
his adversary's garment and ties it to
his own. II he can do this the offender
never attempts to deliver himself,
but quietly follows to the presence Of
his superiors, who are to judge him.
Such respect to this novel though
legal form Of arrest would hardly
have been expected in such country.

our churches, ministers and Sabbath

day by such services as shall be best
