nEarri,d by a Woman Minister.

While Rev. Anna Shaw was speaking ill New York last fall sho was listened to with great delight by many, and espe- eially by young German lady, who de- clared she would certainly have only a woman minister perform the service when she came to be married. But learning that Dr. Shaw was in Kansas and would not be likely toreturn to the east at the time desired she looked about for another ordained woman. Through Mrs. Blake probably she dis covered that Rev Phebe A. Hanaford was residing at 33G West Fifty first street, Now York, and sought her assist ance. The result was that on July 2t, 1894, Mr Carl Ernst Theodore Strunc1 and Miss Christiana Louise Volltans were united il marriage by Rev Mrs. Hanaford, and on Aug 1, 1894, the brides sister came to the same parlor, and NIT. Armin Bruno Carl David Eich- Ter was married to Mrs Johanna Cath erina Filian, nee VoIsens, by the above named woman minister.
 On Juno 20, 1891, Rev. Mrs. Hama ford went out to Glen Edge, N. J., and offioiated at the marriage of Mr. Ed ward Frithiof Linquist and Miss Annah Ayres She had christ aI the bride groom 22 years before ,.Gile she was pastor in New Haven. These parties were all educated, cultured persons, who were abundantly able to decide for themselves without prejudice and were evidently entirely satisfied with their marriage by a woman minister -Bos- ton Woman's s Journal

STRANGE HILL THIS.

A Bicycle Will Not Run Down It. but Goes
 Up Easily.
 "There is a hill in Ulster county that bicycle riders find no difficulty in as cending on their wheels, but which their machines won't descend by their own gravity" " said New York wheel man. This mysterious hill is tho last one of the numerous hills on the route between Lake Mohonk and the Hudson river.
 The moment he takes his feet off tho pedals to let the machine toboggan down by force of gravity 1t slows up and be- gins to wabble and if it's rider doesn' t brace up and take it in hand and foot again it will topplo over and tumble him in the ditch He has to work the wheel for all he is worth to get 1t down the hill On the contrary, the wheel will mount the hill with less effort on the part of the wheelman to propel it than it requires ordinarily to move it along on tho level.
 The theory is that there must be big mass of magnetic ore under the surface near the top of the hill which influences the action of the bicycles. However that may be, the fact exists that here is a hill that a bicycle won t run down of it's own gravity, and which the wheelman can mount as easily, if not more easily, than he can ride the level road.

FINISHED POETRY
Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy
 Factor In It's Production,

Factor In It's Production,
 There arc yet some persons left who fancy that poetry is the product of q fine frenzy; that the poet genius awalzes from a sublimated cataleptie trance to fill page after page with effortless beatitudes. A number of manuscript sheets of Longfellow's Excelsior, which may be found ill Harvard, should not only explode this theory, but give hope to many discouraged amateur. As Longfollow first constructed the first verse of this poem it ran:
 The shades of night were falling fast
 As through Nn Alpine village passed
 A youth who, as the peasants sung,
 Responded in m unknown tongue,
 Excelsior.
 This was manifestly weak, as the only obvious reason why the Alpine peasants sung was that they might af- ford rhyme for the youth S response ill an unknown tongue. A second trial at the verse, however, not only failed to improve it, but arranged 1t i'll such form that it is difficult to believe Long fellow guilty of the fault. The last two lines of the verse were made to read:
 4 youth who bore pearl of price,
 X banner with the strange device.
 Thore are not many, even among the magazine poets of today, who would consent to refer to banner as "a pearl of price. :" But the poet had by this time three lines to his liking, and the substi- tuition of "a youth who bore mid snow and ice" completed the verse as it has been read and spoken throughout the length and breadth of the land all of which goes to show that the genius of the poet is in the conception, and that the production of the poem, being quite another matter, lies solely in the direc- tion of patient labor.

Differences in Human Nature.

One uf the most striking things in ail nature is he difference that exists hetWeeh the various individuals uf the same c1aas II is said that if our power of vision were sufficiently aeutc, W. should perceive that no two blades of grass, nn two grains of sand, no two drops of water were precisely similar Me know this to be true ef eISthing that comes within the scope of our obsert ation. both in the organic and inorganic world. and it k only reasonable t0 believe that the same law reigns through the entire universe These differences become more obvious To Us as we heeome more familiar with the type Ne easily recognize the variations in Inc trees ia the forest, in he birds of the air, in the beasts 0f fie fields, in the features and forms of the men and women who surround Us, and the oftener We observe them. and the more closely we scrutinize them, the greater is the diversity that we discover between them. When We know person well il is impossible that we can mistake him for any one else; his peculiar cXpres- sions of face and form and manner ar2 stamped upon our memory and excite eur instant recognition.
 No two minds run in the same cha melR, or think exactly each others thoughts Truth is many sided, and mnltitudea of men and women stand still, viewing continu- ally but one of her phases, Did they but move around her, changing their respective attitudes, they would ap- preciatc one another far better EX- cclent people sometimes regret that there are so many differences of opinion upon single subject If all were agreed, they say how smoothly and tremendously might all work together for he general good! They forget thai, were this possible, there would be no consensus of truth, no gat thering together of it's many fea- lures, no comparison of it's many aspects. Ii is just this mingling of sincere convictions that enables men La correct their fallacies to retrieve their blunders, to arrive at some thing like Wise judgment and correct conclusions. Yet we chafe and fret at these very differences, and attl'ib- ute to them many of the evils which really belong to our willingness tO recognize and accept them. Too often irritation, ill feeling, and even anger arise from this innocent cause
 Interchange of opinion, whether in ordinary conversation or in discus sions and debate, is among the
 most instructive and valuable means of forming true opinions, yet how often it is poisoned by dugmatism that will brook nc contradiction and q temper which regards all dissent as Il personal Philadelphia Ledger

A healthy hen, after repeated washings in sterilized solutions was placed i'll q sterilized cage As soon as possible after being laid portion of her eggs were placed in sterilized cotton and then i'll an incubator All these eggs de cayed and swarmed with bacteria.
