Courte sizes to Che Glory.

Clergymen are more or less on the
free list all the world over. Theater
managers open their doors to them
and many stores give them discount
on their purchases OF books they
have their full share, and are allowed
a rebate on what they buy. When
they go travelling they are privileged
to do so at half rate The garb OF
clergyman is considered equal to one
half fare to any part Of the Union.
The other day, in one Of the big
stores, clergyman was looking at
pair of gloves, says the New York
News He was very intent on the
selection, and did not observe the
solicitude with which he was re-
garded by a man in the crowd.
Finally the stranger, no longer able
to restrain himself, came nearer, and
addressing himself to the man in
priestly garb, said: Ibid you find q
pair to suit you?" On being
answered in the affirmative the
stranger responded, pulling out
his purse: Suppose you
allow me to pay for them" The
money was passed to the cashier.
There was handshake at the door,
and the clergyman went away with
his glove, the other with the happy
consciousness Of doing good. At
Fayetteville, near Syracuse, they
show the home in which Grover
Cleveland's father, Rev. Richard
Cleveland, held his donation parties
In those days, some forty years ago,
it was the custom of the villagers to
assemble at the minister's home and
present him with cakes, pies, etc.
The room in which Mr.. CleveIand's
father held tneS1 meetings is in the
basement of the old square frame
house, adjoining the school which
Grover himself attended. 1t is the
custom in many parishes to give en-
tertainments of dramatic character
for the benefit of the school The
clergyman has no difficulty in secur-
ing for such purposes the use Of Valu-
able and lifting furniture for
the stage; also procuring costumes
for the members. All this is an
other illustration of the courtcsieS eX-
tended to wearers of the cloth The
fact that so many avenues are open
to the clergy at a reduced cost makes
a sharper brazen enough to simulate
a minister for his own ill-gotten ends
1t is a matter OF record to note in the
press accounts of imposters working
under the ministerial guise. Some
times the thief is caught soliciting
aims for some church charity, exist
ing merely in his own imagination;
again, one reads of the capture of
some scound rel who is playing the
confidence game in the matter of rid
ding a fictitious church of its heavy
mortgage. Thousands of people are
annually sWindled by the sham min

Railway Speed Recorder.

An instrument has been designed
to meet the demand Of railway Off
Gals for an accurate speed recorder
and indicator. This invention can
be readily applied to street railway
cars, and will noU only record On pa
per but indicate on dial similar to
a steam gauge the speed in miles per
hour. The recorder can also be ap-
piled to locomotive, in which case
it is placed in the cab, so that the
engineer can see at glance the
actual speed he is running at as easily
as he can see by the steam gauge how
much steam he is carrying. When
attached to a car the indicator is
placed anywhere to suit the conven-
fence of the persons using it. The
record is made by the pressing of a
metallic pencil on a ribbon or tape.
The ribbon has horizontal and per-
pendicular lines, and each horizontal
line from the base or zero line repre-
sents five miles per hour, ana each
perpendicular line mile passed along
the road. The line traced on this
paper shows by its distance from the
base line the exact speed at which the
train passes any point on the road,
the number and location Of the stops,
the distance travelled, and the. loca-
tion sand speed of any backward
movements that may have been made.
The power of recording runs up to
about ninety miles an hour.

Exact Hosnitality.

Siberian hospitality is extremely
matter-of-fact The peasants like to
visit and treat each other, especially
on high days and holidays; but this
hospitality is the result of calcula-
tiOn.
When man Is going to visit his
neighbor, he never goes straight to
his house, but walks along the road,
and stops as if by chance at the win
dow and begins conversation; then,
if the master or mistress wishes to
see him, they invite him in When
the ''samavar' is ready, they drink
tea out of saucers. now and then TAX
ing bite Of piece Of sugar.
In this way they consume about
three cups and then turn the cups
upside down, placing on the bottom
the remains of the sugar they have
been nibbling at.
AS soon as, tea is over, the guest
rises to 60, and then the following
dialogue invariably takes place.
"Why are you in such hurry?"
says the hostess
ut is time to go home" answers
the guest.
Stay little longer"
"Thank you; you have given me
plenty to eat and drink"
''There was but little"
"No, there was quite enough; had
plenty"
This conversation. which always
takes place, and is almost mechanl-
cally repeated, being ended, the
guest approaches the host, and, TAX
ing his hands. says, II thank you for
the vodka, the tea, the sugar, the
cake" etc
1t is indispensable, when returning
thanks to the host, to enumerate
everything the guest has consumed
during his visit. At the end Of this
catalogue the visitor humbly begs his
host to come and see him, which,
after time, he does. and things go
on in exactly the same way. Care
must be taken that viands provided
are of equal quantity and quality
If, at any time man eats or drinks
more than his host, when a guest. on
a former occasion, did, Quarrels, up
braidings, or sarcastic ramarks are
the result Il gave them tea and
sugar, and they gave me nothing but
tea" or 81 gave Them cake, and had
nothing but bread in return"

Poultry on the Farm.

! On the great ma ority OF farms hen
will pay profit Of 81 year, and this
can be multiplied by 100, if 100 hens
be kept, provided they are not
crowded into one house, (says the
Tennessee Farmer). The reason why
most farmers do not pay more atten-
tion to poultry, or let their wives and
children do so, is because they think
it won't pay. and the reason they
think it won't pay is because they
know nothing about it, having never
kept an account with their hens

A very sad tragedy was enacted last Saturday at the Triplett place, a few miles above the city. Two boys, one seven and the other nine years of age, the sons of Mr. Joe Rogers, tenant on the above place, were frollicking in the house, when one of them went to the bureau, opened the drawer, took out his fathers pistol, and expecting to have some fun by soaring his brother pointed it at him. The pistol fired and the ball struck the little fellow in the head, from the effects of which he died in a few hours.
 The accidentsis very sad one. The fond parents and all other members of the family are in great distress over the occurrence,

Clue.

1t will be remembered that the depot at Fuckers station was recently burglarized. For a number of days there were no traces what ever to be found leading toward the detection of the perpetrators of the robbery. We were informed this morning by parties from that place that a clue has been discovered and several arrests will be made in a short time.
