stingy Strangers Mistake I'm Con-
trlbuting To Gospel Fund.
This story was told the writer by n
friend who was an itinerant Methodist
missionary His friend was working
in the wilds of Arizona good many
years ago. One Saturday evening the
missionary entered mining camp
whose inhabitants had lost all track
of Sunday. He went to the biggest
saloon in the camp and introduced
himself, telling the proprietor that
the following day was Sunday and
that he would like to preach SER
mon to the miners. The proprietor's
name was Jake.
"All right, said Jake, eve win be
glad to have you. | will fix it with
the boys"
lie did fix it and all of the saloons
were closed when it came time to de-
liver the sermon. Yhe exercises We're
held in the big saloon and Jake made
himself the master of ceremonies.
the bar and delivered his discourse to
all the idiers in the town who had coll
lected in the saloon. At the close of
his address he timidly suggested that
travelling was expensive, and, while
salvation was free, the Cos pei had to
be paid for. He suggested the pro-
pricty of q collection.
"All right, pars on. ! will attend to
that: she'll ont, boys cried Jake.
He passed his sombrero through the
crowd and everyone threw in a large
coin, until he came to Il stranger in
the camp. The stranger put his hand
in his pocket and felt ar ound there for
a while. Finally he pulled out quar-
ter and started to drop it into the hat.
Jake drew back the hat and put his
nand on the handle of his revolver. .
Look a-here stranger he said,
''chips are dollar in this game and it
is your ante"
The stranger played the limit and
Jale's hand left thu handl of his
revolver. After that every one played

Marshes.
The water-fringcd village of Grouw,
in Friesland. North Holland, is re mark
able for two things-cheesc and ducks.
the lakes which fringe the village on
three sides are thick with bulrushes
and water grass, and afford excellent
cover for wild ducks and other aquatic
fowl. To promote the comfort of the
former and at the same time facilitate
the collection of the eggs the villagers
construct nests. The nests are made of
plated rushes, and are hung on poles
driven into the soil or perched be-
tween the forks of trees Above
each coteric the owner OF the nests
fixes pieces pf colorcd cloth. which
enables him to readily distinguish his
nests from those of his neighbors.
These bits of bunting arc useful also
To the birds. who invariably keep
to their own nests. The owner goes
each morning in his boat to the nest
ing ground, thrusts his arm into the
bottle-shaped nests, and collects their
contents for the market.

A SWINGING AoUEDUCT.
One English Canal Carried Across An
other on u DrawbridEe.

other on Drawbridse.
The recently opened ship canal,
which connects the city of Manchester,
England, with the sea, is of com
mcrcial rather than engineering i'm
portance. There were few difficulties
to be overcome in its construction. yet
one of the novel features of the enter
prise is so curious that ii deserves
passing notice. 1t is very common
occurrence for one railroad track to
be carried over another; much less
frequently we see one canal conducted
across the line of another, but to have
the intersections of two water routes
provided with a drawbridge is still
more unusual This. however. was
found the most satisfactory way Of
dealing with the problem presented
where the route of Manchester's new
highway to the Mersey ran up against
the old .Bridgewater canal leading
southwark from Wigan, in Lancashire
aust what reasons existed Tor not
having grade crossing do not appear,
but it does appear that such scheme
was not deemed feasible, and hence
the smaller channel was borne over
the larger. But fixed aqueduct
would have interfered with the p.asts,
if not the smokestacks, of big ships,
and therefore, a swinging span, like
that of an ordinary drawbridge, was
resorted to. Obviously, the station
airy ends of the severed waterway
needed to be, and they are, equipped
with gates, which must be closed be-
fore the swinging span is opened.
The latter structure is similarlyfu fur
nished, so that it is possible to\epen
the draw" with a floating barge on it.
