RAVENS BUT NOT HAWKES..
A Good Story of Noted North Carroll,
Divine.

A Good Story of Noted North Carolina
Divine.
North Carolina probably never pro-
duced an ADLER preacher than DIR.
Francis l.. Hawkes., who quarter of
a century ago was pastor of Grace
Episcopal church, New York Short,
thichset, swarthy, black-eyed, and
black-haired, he was a striking per-
sonage. He was not only a great pull
pit orator, but considered the best
reader in the New York episcopacy.
His rather luxurious family deferred
him from accepting a bishopric, which
would have otherwise been rendered
One day a delegation from a Buffalo
church waited upon him, and invited
him to accept a pastorate In that city
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory. the question Of accept
ance narrows down to business mat
ter" said DR.. Hawkes.. "What salary
do you offer?"
"Dr Hawkes." said the spokesman,
1--WE recognize that you have a high
reputation, and are willing to be liber-
al. Our recent pastor has received
$500, but on account Of your stand
ing we have decided to offer you
$500"
my good man." cried the doctor,
''do you know what salary 1 am re-
ceiving here?
''No, SIR
'T get $4,000 and this parsonage;
and as | have an expensive family, l
do not see my way clear to accept
your offer"
The spokesman looked Ia Their sheep
ish. but made another essay
IF we had known that fact, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where; but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done,
and as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravens"
''Now, my friends" responded the
clergyman, quizzingly, 81 have made
the Bible my study ever since / was
twenty-eight. I have read it through
carefully and prayerfully over a hun
dred times. | remember the raven in
cident perfectly, but nowhere can
find any reference to the Lords pro
vjding for young Hawkes."

Willing to Fight For 1t.

An English journal tells good story
at the expense of the Earl of Derby.
While walking on land belonging to
the earl collier chanced to meet the
owner. His lol'dship inquired if the
collier knew he was walking ON his
land. Thy land? Well, 1 got no
land myself" was the reply, land I'm
like to wake on somebody's. Where
did tha' get 1t froY "Oh," explained
his hardship, Il got it from my an
cestor." ''An' wheer did they get it
fro'?' inquired the collier. 'They got
it from their ancestors" was the re-
ply. "And wheer did their ancestors
get it fro'?" ''They fought for it."
"Well, bedad," said the collier, squar-
ing up to the noble earl, "I'll feight
thee for it,"

ONE EGG FOR TEN.
The Allowance at California Oystrich



Farm.
One egg for ten guests is the allow
ance at California ostrich farm, as
found when | visited one.
Zone, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten," said our host,
counting the guest he had invited to
spend the day at the ostrich farm With
him. Il guess that one egg will be
enough"
Having given utterance to this ex-
preston, he Wended his way to the
paddock, and soon brought to the
house an ostrich egg Ror a
whole hour it was boiled, and though
there was then some misgivi1gs as to
it's being cooked, the shell was broken,
for curiosity could be no longer res
trained. and three-pound hardboiled
egg laid upon the table.
But apart from it's size there was
nothing peculiar about it. The white
had the blush tnge seen in the ducks
egg, the yOlk was of the usual color.
1t tasted as it looked, like ducks
egg, and had no flavor peculiar to it
self. But it was immense! And it
takes tWenty-eight hens eggs to equal
in weight the ostrich egg which was
cooked
1t was evident that the host knew
what he was about in cooking only
one. There was enough and to spare,
and before leaving the table the party
unanimously agreed that ostrich egg
was good.

Fifty Dollar Coins.

Fifty-dollar gold pieces We're never
coined by the United States govern
ment; there were, however, private is
sues OF octagonal gold coins of this
value in California in 1851, 1852, 1858
and 1855. In 1S51-55, also, round fifty
dollar pieces were issued In California
They received their full value when
deposited at the United States assay
offices. By the now existing laws Of
this country there can be no revival
Of private coinages bearing such close
resemblance to authorized mint issues.

1t Looks Like q "sure Thing %

The chances that an accident insur-
ance company takes when it sells q
policy good for tweutyfOur hours to
a casual tTayeief may be estimated
when 1t is known that the interstate
commerce commission has figured out
that one person is killed by railroad
accidents in this country for every
10000 people who ride twenty-four
miles. Selling accident policies on
these figures looks like ''sure thing"

Wild Rice,

1t has been suggested by some stu

rice of the Northern Lakes might be
prOtitably cultivated for food. 1t has
a good grain, but it falls very easily

The StafJardshir.p RCernrn Pter

In local collection Of pottery there
is large mug, dating from the last
century, called the ''Stahordshire
Beerometer," upon which is a repre-
sentat ton of a tube of mercury, With
the following degrees of intoxication
and sobriety against it:
80 Drunk as a Lord.
40 Drunk.
40 Disguised in Liquor.
80 AS sober as a man ought to be;

To Keep Vegetables Fresh,

All vegetables when cut may be
kept fresh by putting the stalks into
water. Servants generally insist on
immersing them, which favors decom-
position. Carrots, turnips and the like
if placed in layers in a box of sand
will keep for many weeks. Clean
new-laid eggs will keep quite fresh
for months If buried in dry salt, well
closed. Boiled potatoes ought to be
laid out on a plate and are then as
good for frying Or mashing as if they
were freshly cooked.

THE NEGRO AS A FACTOR.

There is too much jealousy and pre-
udice among certain Negroes of the race
that is an impediment to the races ad-
vancement. The masses expect better
things from their representatives than
what is daily developed.

gro will be a factor in the body polite.

one another rather than advance his
own interest Or that of the race.
