closing the sermon he referred to the
death Of Hon. NJ. NJ Strong. He
spoke substantially as follows: |

words, when heard of the death OF
one of the founders of this parish. And
surely the wisdom Of his service in
| this church as yestFyman, as a true
and constant supporter, as 4 cheerful
and generous giver is hereby justi-
lied In his death, which was quiet
from the fear of evil. and in whose
shadows he dwelt in safety The
wisdom Of life lies along this way Of
ehurenlg devotion and attachment,
and he our departed and aged
brother realized what David did
when he wrote 50 beautifully about
the shadow Of death, and his freedom
from evil OF Mr.. Strong's marked
ability. there can be no question; and
although all the honors which it called
for, and could rightly claim, were not
his. does not this show that the world
does not always listen to the voice of
wisdom? Upon this, only dwell, to
emphasize the loss which as a parish,
and diocese we have sustained. For
thirteen years be has been tn me a
constant and true friend All the
petty details Of parish differences

energies; We was not mentally built
that way; aud whatever differences
came he had little or no part in them.

and of the diocese there is no need to
SPEAK, for the fact stands on its

hold Of his heart and mind. But if
defeat came, no personal malice or

hatred in his heart. For years he was

and BY his marked ability there dis

him in matters of ecclesiastical polity.

Architecture of the Fntnrs.

The Eiffel tower, built wholly of
metal, is an example, and good ex-
ample, of step in the direction
which architects will be forced to
follow in the future. The great rail
way stations, exhibition buildings
and other structures of steel, con-
crete, paper and glass, which the
needs and inventions of our day have
called into existence, show which
way flows the stream of tendency.
The new building material has come
to stay. In another century houses
may not merely be built with steel
girders; they may be made of metal
frames bolted together and gripping
walls of papier mache. Then the age
of the tent will return. A man will
buy his house from a manufacturer
and will hire site to set it upon.
When he moves from one place to
another, he will take his home with
him. Building leases will die nat
ural death. Towns will wander about,
and great many curious results will
arise. boston Transcript.

GravitatLon Deaed.

While it is. usually conceded that
puns belong to "the lowest order of
wit" there have been puns which
can hardly De classified in this way.
One of these is said to have been
made by jeffrey Keller, an Irish law
yer who was more noted for his wit
than for eminence in his'chosen pro-
fession.
A lawyer of the name Of Wayne,
who was O. highly respected but de-
cidedly heavy person, had risen to a
judgeship. while Keller, who had en-
tered on his legal career at about the
same time with Mayne, was still
much in want of clients and fees.
He was In a courtroom one day
when Mayne was solemnly presid-
ing, and he turned to a friend who
sat beside him and plucked at his
sleeve.
"See there r. he whispered. There
sits Mayne, risen by his gravity, and
here sits Keller, sunk by his ,levity.

Your Own Body.

Think deliberately of the house you
live in-youp body. Make up your
mind not to abuse it. Eat nothing
that will hurt it; wear nothing that
distorts orpains it. Do not overload
it with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal of danger from any
Of the thousand enemies that sur
round you defend yourself.
Do not take cold; guard yourself
against.it; e if you feel the first symp-
toms, give yourself heroic treatment.
Get into fine glow of heat by exer-
else. This is the only body you will
ever have in this world. A large
share of pleasure and pain of life will
come through the use you make of it.
Study deeply and diligently the struc-
ture of it, the laws that should gov
ern it, the pains and penalties that
will surely follow violation of every
law of life or health. New York Dis
patch.

Shelby could not possibly make org

of the State. From the county q
shelby ''The outcome occasioned b,
ate rains has been not only suipris
to the growers but source OF CRAFTY
cation as well, as the yield has been
largely increased. From the count>
of Campbell: "The tobacco matured e
such a fine quality that we have no.
raised crop equal to it since 1881.
suppose the yield will be very large
We had a little frost on the 25th on the
low lands, but the damage will be very
small" From the county OF Fleming.
Grain came too late to improve The
corn much; tobacco was never known
to make such progress in four weeks.
There will be full crop in this
neighborhood, far better than last
year." From the county of Grant;
There remains in the field about one
quarter of the tobacco crop. The late
rains brought out our tobacco, and we
have difficulty in finding house room
and sticks. 1t is the best grown in
years, in quantity" From the county
of Galloway: THE late rains have
made good improvements in tobacco.
This CORR spondent places it at l25 per
cent" From the county of Trigg /:
Tobacco mostly housed in good con-
dition in Trigg. The best crop for
ten years." Per cent for white hurley,
81. Per cent for dark tobacco, 80.
GRASSES.
Grasses of all kinds are reported
very short in many localities; all
kinds of grass has not grown as IL
was thought it would have done since
the rains commenced. Rains have not
been abundant in many counties.
Some correspondents report stock
water very scarce.

had hive goat flung down from his
two stored house in accordance with
the directions of a 80 called magician,

Phenomenal Luck.

The chat man heard a story which
demonstrates the accuracy Of the old
adage, Its better to be born lucky
than with silver spoon" Some six
years ago a boy from the Canadian
side of the lake came to Rochester to
reside. He secured a position in a
dry goods store and worked faithful
ly for two years. The boy had am
bition, and go he left the city and To-
Gated in New York. He continued
to work as dry goods clerk, but
while so doing made a large number
of friends, some of them who knew
the drift of the Stock Exchange. He
got a tip one day, and by little
transaction cleared SO, 1000. Hespec-
ulated again and won $4,000. He
pursued the market and in the course
of year had made in actual profit
something over S12O,000 He then
branched out and invested in various
enterprises, and it seemed that every
thing he touched turned into gold.
In the four years that he has operat-
ed he has been able to net something
like $750,0C0 He has magnificent
mansion on Riverside, New York.
He drives a team of spanking hopses
and lives like a prince. The gentle

The West India hurricane which
swept the Atlantic coast the past week
has proved far more disastrous than
the one which proceeded it. The
worst damage was done at st. Pierre
and Miquelon Islands, Newfoundland,
where 300 vessels were damaged, fifty
OF them being completely wrecked,
and thirty lives were lost. Around
New York the storm was extremely
severe, and many vessels were
wrecked. All along the coast from
Cape Hatteras northward the storm
has been violent.
