eat it, and are filled. The prayers for
rain avail nothing.

Mixed Metaphors.
from Westminster Gazette. !

A mixed metaphor story was told by
the late A. M. Sullivan. When he was
beginning his practice in Ireland, he
was present at case where a small
farmer brought an action against a
neighbor for alleged malversation of
three bullocks. Counsel, a well-known
member of the circuit, concluded his
speech by saying: "Gentlemen of the
jury, it will be for you to say whether
this defendant shall be allowed to come
into court with unblushing footsteps,
with the cloak of hypocrisy in his
mouth, and draw three bullocks out of
my clients pockets with impunity."

SUCCESS!l SUCCESS y!

Nothing succeeds like success The truth
as told by our patients is that the Morrell
Cure Is grand success. Why Because no
man who wants to be free, from the thral-
dom of drink, need be one moment longer
slave. The testimony of men who have
tasted the bitterness of poverty, disease, and
disgrace, and are now free from rum and all
its harms, the testimony of such men i.
worth much more than all the lies of those
who .'have their doubts"
We claim moth ing but what we can prove
in court, and yet we make rather strong
claims.
Claim No. I've never fail TO cure, when
the patient is faithful and does his part well.
Claim No. I've never injure a patient in
any way. as our treatment is individual
treatment and not the haphazard way that
some other cures have.
Claim No 3-No, we NEVER have had
patient go back to his old HABITS of drink be-
cause of any need on his part or because the
old craving came back to him.

Railroad Depredations.

BY Edwin F. Drop, from Home and
Country for April.
The Archbishop of Canterbury,
while on his way to London to at
tend sitting of Parliament, ihad
in his possession a large amount
of money, church funds, in the
form of bank notes of large de-
nominations, to deposit in the
Bank of England. A few stations
previous to his arrival in London,
young, stylish and handsome
woman entered the compartment,
and discoursed entertainingly
with the distinguished gentleman.
But as the suburbs of London were
reached the old prelate was aston
ished and Mortified to see the
young lady tear open the front of
her dress.
"You have several. thousand
pounds in bank notes with yOu,"
she said; "give them to me or |
will have you arrested, charging
you with criminal assault"
The archbishop found himself
in a decidedly uncomfortable posi-
ton. Should he refuse to comply
with the woman's demands, ter
rible scandal would result, and
every one would doubtless be de-
lighted to hold him guilty, es-
pecially as this happened at time
of great excitement in England,
caused by railroad outrages, in
which persons belonging to select
rOciety were implicated.
But this adventures was deal
ing with a man whose equanimity
was not so easily disturbed. He
handed his pocket book to the
woman, who, laughing triumphant
ly, rearranged her dress and
alighted from the cars at the next
station. But the archbishop was
equal to the occasion. Following
her, he quickly summoned the
first policeman, and ordered him
to arrest the woman as a thief
Fortunately the constable knew
the archbishop, and at once took
her in custody, although she pro
tested vehemently, stigmatizing
the archbishop's story as {
myth. But the old gentle
man was cleverCr than she
Drawing a memoranda from his
coat pocket, he handed the consta
BILE list containing the numbers
and denominations of the bank
notes contained in the pocket book
at that moment to be found in the
wOman's cOrsage. The adventures
was caught in her own net, thor
oughly foiled and severely pun
ished by the courts, while the
archbishop, by his cleverness anC
foresight, had spared himself {
great deal of unpleasantness AM
loss.

Table Decorations.
New York Sun.

Nc" i VI cuus
Part of the daily duty of one of
the girls in a Park row dairy"
restaurant consists in removing
from the under side of the edges OF
the tables the chewing gum which
has been stuck by there customers.
1t takes the girl a full hour to
accomplish this every morning,
and she has to work hard and
exercise considerable strength, as
the chewing gum hardens and
sticks tenaciously to the tables,
She removes it with knife. In
any of the cheaper grades of res
taurants the tables are decorated
on their under sides in the same
way. 1t is the men who practice
this peculiar habit, and it goes to
show how many of them use
chewing gum.

The Last Piece of Bread.

Again all was quiet iE the room
quiet and death-like.
Want and misery stood at the
door waiting until the last piece of
coal was burned then indeed there
was nothing left-nO food-no fire
nothing.
Poor man! Poor woman!
Dusk set in; the clock Of a near
by church struck six. A small
stout man was seen approaching
the house. He was the city mis-.
sionary. Many time he had call
ed on the invalid. He knew the
history of this poor mans life, and
was determined to help him if he
could. A city missionary doctors
the body, but more etfectually the
mind; his advice as we'll as his
help is needed by his poor patients.
At last he had succeeded in find
ing a position for his protege, and
well paid one, too; whilst the
work would not surpass the
strength of a cOnvalesCent.
Painting, he climbed the stairs.
Oh, how many there were of these ;
how high up this garrett was! He
would see to it that his patient at
once moved into healthier quarters,
then he would recover more quick
ly.
He knocked at the door. No re-
Spouse. He tried to enter, but the
door was locked. He noticed a Pc
culiar odor; it seemed to come
through the cracks in the door !;
something seemed to be burning in
the room.
His shouts aroused the other
people in the house. They did not
know whether the couple had gone
out; no one had seen them during
the day.
The room was filled with coal
gas. Husband and wife were found
in each others arms. Want and
misery had disappeared-likely
they were now looking for other
prey.
"Killed by inhalation of coal
gas" was the verdict.
