Whenever hypocrite gets mad he will claim
to have been righteously indignant
Many man who talks nice in chnrch will
90 right home and find fault with his wife.
1t is hard to find a man who does not put the
blame for his misfortunes upon his wife.
Shadows sometimes come to the good, but
they never have to be alone in the dark.
Every man makes the world either richer or
poorer by what he gives to it Of himself
Some fdders can play tune on one string,
but it never makes anyone want to dance.
Many have led sober lives because they were
shocked by the vicious example of drunkard.
There is no promise in the Bible for the man
who wants to eat bread without earning it.
Keeping right with God is the best way ever
vet discovered of keeping bread i'll the house.
If all the devils were cast out OF some folks
there would be hardly enough left to look at.
Begin the day with Bible promise in our
heart, and you will still be rich if the banks
break.
Deciding to do right is the beginning of
fence that God will help you bmild to keep the
devil out.
1t is hard to make stingy man believe that
he is robbing himself by keeping his money in
his pocket.
1t often looks as though the devils first choice

If the Republicans imagine that the Popu-
lists are dead, they should dismiss that idea
right away. We're in splendid fighting trim,
and are right into the fight for go.
THE temperance Republicans should now see
to it that W. o. Knight, their newly-elected
county attorney, carries out his promise to them
to close the joints.

Picking Apples hy Machinery.

The time during which apples should
be picked to be their best is short, and
sometimes the picking is so delayed that
the last become oyerripe. Another Gisad-
vantage in taking in the harvest crop is
that the supply of pickers may be short,
and those that are secured may be careless
In handling the fruit, much of which is
consequently bruised and rendered unfit
for grading. Many contrivances have been
devised for facilitating and chespening
this work, but none has come into univer-
sal use. A catcher is made in two parts
OF canvas or any other strong, durable fab
ric such as sailcloth. The lower part, or
main canvas, is 40 feet across, in the form
Of an immense saucer, the center about
the tree coming down TO the ground.
Above this lie the hood. about u feet
square and highest in the center. When
this is adjusted about the tree, the branches
are shaken. and the apples find their way
down 10 the ground in a pile at the base
of the tree. II IS claimed that fruit can
thus be gathered in one-half the time, at
one-half the expense OF hand picking and
with marked Improvement in condition.
The apple catcher is especially service
able when gathering fruit from lofty trees.
Ii may be used for stack covering when
not required for fruit gathering. Il is also
made in smaller sizes for gathering pears,
plums, nuts, etc.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

San Francisco, Dec. 25.-The Cliff
house is on fire and Adolph Sutros' big
baths recently completed at a cost of
half a million dollars are threatened
There are no means for fighting fire
Il the Cliff house and the nearest fire
engine is about four miles away. The
FIRE commenced at about half past
eight tonight and at o'clock about half
of the Cliff house has been destroyed
The Cliff house was a world-famous
resort, as 1t overlooks the seal rocks
and is part Of the possessions of Adolph
Sutro. San Francisco's mayor-elect
The buildings of the Cliff house are
frame structures and were used as
restaurants, saloons and curio shops.
In addition there were wide balconies
from which the seals could be viewed.
About 100 feet to the north are the new
salt water baths and connecting the
two buildings Is row Of sheds and
fences. The baths are immense frame
structures, capable OF holding twenty
thousand people and are the largest
in the world. They have been in course
# construction for three years, and a
month ago were opened to the public.

Jpened constantly as a park to the pub

tence is in danger. The greatest fear
IS for the baths. Fire engines have
gone form the city to the rescue and
they may arrive in time to be of ser
vice. A strong wind is blowing at the
Cliff and so far there is nothing to
keep the flames from spreading. The
Cliff house buildings were built about
thirty years ago and no visitor ever
went away from San Francisco with
out first going to the Cliff house and
looking at the seals.

Rehearsinx tho Wedding Ceremony.

One of the oldest customs IN modern So
ciety is that of conducting rehearsal of
the wedding ceremony in church. 1t gives
q curiousiv theatrical air to the event and
surely does something to lessen the So
lemnity of what should be the most sacred
moment in two lives. This preliminary
practice no doubt causes the actual cere-
mony to proceed with a smartness sug-
gestiye of machinery, but there is loss
in sentiment and in religious feeling. A
little more simplicity in the arrangements
would obviate the necessity Of rehearsals

The ever prevailing problem Of how 10

an easy and economic method of disposing

CAN ANTS TAlKi
Another Tribute to the Brain Power OF
These Remarkable insects.

These Remarkable insects.
Twas one day standing in my garden
near the trunk Of an old willow tree, up
which a scattered line of ants was crawl
ing. After a time observed an occasional
etraggler coming down in tie opposite d.
rection. Here and there q couple of ants,
ascending and descending, CHANGED to
meet, but there was no stoppage and no
talk. Presently, at about five feet from the
ground, smeared little hollow in the
trunk with a large spoonful of thick trea-
Gle 10 see how long it would remain undis-
covered. / then went away for q short
time, and on my return found about q
dozen ants busily feasting on the treasure.
A minute or two later one Of the feastrs
crawled slowly down the trunk with
heavy feet, and when near the ground met
a friend, whom he suddenly arrested on
his way up, and with his anteDna, which
he piled vigorously, held a good talk.
What was said know not, but the friend
knew and thereupon marched steadily on
up the tree TO the newly found treasure.
Meanwhile the bearer of the good tidings
made his own way quickly back to the
nest few yards of in the grass to which
l watched him. He was soon lost to view,
but beyond all doubt soon spread the news
OF treasure trove throughout the colony.
Within half an hour of that time long
unbroken line of hungry ants was march
ing direct 70 the tree, making straight for
the feast, remaining there for a time and
then returning to the nest in another line
on the other side of the willow. This proc
ess of ascending and descending termites
went on for some hours-in fact, until
dusk-when the numbers of advancing
guests sIew less and less and finally
ceased. Before IL was dark not single
ant was TO be seen, though early the next
morning a fresh band Of Adventures set
out in the same fashion, coming and GO
ing all day until every uiorsei Of the sweets
had disappeared.
Here, therefore, clearly some talk Of the
surprising dainty had taken place between
the two ants meeting On the road to if,
while tidings had been carried TO the col
ony, which at once reused all the inmates
TO go forth direct 20 the feast, possibly led
by the very guide who had first discovered
it. So much for the general intelligence

life and work CT this wise nation Of In
