a Reverend centIsman's Awkward
ProdIoament.

A college student in one OF our
Western States recently returned
home after his course was finished,
to find that his father, clergyman
with small salary. was eking out his
living by running small farm. One
of the adjuncts of the farm was a
COW, a pretty good animal, which,
however, had strong aversion to be-
ing MIXED.
Here was en- opportunity for dis
play of the lately acquired knowledge
OF the juvenile collegian.
Father" said he. Professor G.
says IL ono will place a weight npon
cows back it will make her give
down the milk"
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor
e.. decided to try the simple remedy.
Instead, however, of placing weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it, But then
he answered the purpose. The cow,
however, was still obstinate.
'"Tie my legs under the COW" said
the father to the son.
The son did so. But the COW, I'M
used to such unusual and arbitrary
proceedings, manifested her displeas-
ure by rearing and plunging, entirely
unmindful of the dignity of the per-
senage astride her spinal column. 1t
was getting altogether too. interest
ing for the two bipeds concerned in
the transaction.
"Cut the rope! Cut the rope !"
shouted Mr. V. to his dutiful son,
meaning the rope by which he was
attached to the COW.
But the son, being somewhat ex-
cited, cut the rope by which the COW
was fastened to the stanchion. At
once availing herself of the liberty
thus offered, the COW tooksan uncere-
monious exit from the stable, and
down through the street she went.
The minister accompanied the COW,
but in manner not exactly befitting
the dignity Of his profession.
AS it happened, one of the sisters
of the congregation was on the street
as the race was in progress. Sur
PIiSou az ouCh slSnu, tHe Soou siS-
ter called out, why, Brother ",
where are you going?"
His sense of the ludicrous coming
to his aid, Brother V. shouted back:
''The Lord and the COW only know.
/ don't!o
The clergyman was eventually res
cued from his awkward perch, and
never attempted the feat again.

interest Labouchere. The stranger talked
volubly until his host, who had listened
with evident reluctance, asked:
'How do you expect to get back to Lon
don tonight My house, as you see, is
full, and cannot offer you bed. Have
you a carriageP"
NO." said the Mexican. "I came by
train and intend to return that way"
But" returned Labouchere, 1.-THE last

ton, where you can catch the express. We
can talk business on the way"
Excusing himself to his guests, Labou-
chere went off with the Mexican. Within
an hour he was back''

Monuments to Honorable Women.

Great merit and lasting fame are ascrib-
ed in China to widows and maidens de-
prived by death of affianced husbands who
have devoted their sorrow stricken lives to
the service of their parents at law. Sad to
say, such mourners are yet more highly
esteemed where they signalize their be-
reavement by suicide This Chinese suit
teeism is never as in India by fire, but
by opium, starvation poison or drowning.
In honor of these women and girls me-
mortal arches are sometimes erected and
may be seen, usually near the highways,
all over the country. They are Of stone,
about 20 feet high, more or less deliberately
carved with inscriptions engraved on the
upright and cross pieces in praise of filial
piety and chastity, which virtues are ex-
pressed by the two large characters ''hiau"
and "tsieh" The inscription also gives
the Widows name and the place of sepul-
cher. Near the top are always found two
characters denoting that the monument is
raised by the emperor's permission. The
cost of such structures varies from tens to
hundreds of dollars toward which a small
contribution accompanies the imperial
sanction. When the edifice is completed,
some mandarin of inferior rank goes to
worship before it.-London Culver.
