A MODEST PARSON.

He COul0 NOT kSe induced to Live Fine
and Hoony House.
Arecent item in reference TO the Rev.
John Brown, who has been pastor OF g.
Presbyterian church in Fall River,
Mass, for 30 years, and who will re-
sign June I, sell his library, buy tent
and preach the gospel when and how
he pleases, renders timely statement
of the reacons leading to this resigna-
ton.
The congregation OF the Rev. John
B-oT.-l &c to~py gricved at his depar
turc. tL2c l-5uble arose through their
devotion 70 In ard their desire to pro-
mote lis co2,Iolt.

Of the cllr<-c--- u was tiny house, and
tho pc:;5or. possessions had 50 far out
grown it t., his bCol1shclvcs lined even
the halls a.2d scc2irways. Still the pastor
would not move nor permit his people
to erl2rgsa Lis house. Finally D wealthy
member Of the church, who had built n
large and beautiful home and then
wearied Of i, presented his homo to the
parish, and now the parishio2crs insist
ed that their loved pastor should live
there. The result was that he resigned.
He gave his explanation on the day he
presented his resignation
''From my youth up have had an
aversion to large houses. I like to be
within touching distance of my family.
[ like sense of fullness, of safety, III
house Nothing gives me such pleas
ure as that my books must wander for
a resting place through all the rooms,
and that the plants must crowd each
other from tho conservatory and bloom
in every window. -
Then he related d part Of his life be-
fore unmentioned.
While he was still in his teens his
father died. Reverses overlook the fam
lily, and finally the children decided to
divide the family property and RESPONSE
bilities. Two things came to him, his
mother and his mothers bedstead. The
care Of his mother, even though she was
old and feeble, seemed no tax on his
youthful strength, but the bedstead had
been the trial of his carly years. It
had been purchased in the days of great
est prosperity. It was extra width and
length, and tho headboard possessed an
adjustable ornamental extension which
demanded a very high ceiling Often in
his early struggles, when his income
was very limited, he had longed to live
in some small, comfortable cottage. But
his mother refused. She had only one
argument
''Thinll of the bedstead, my son. You
6now could never put the top piece Oh
the headboard in that tiny house. -
The mothers whims must be humor-
I'd. So all thought of comfort was aban-
loned and some rambling, spacious house
was chosen, suited to tho bcdstead, of !
course, but the family must shiver i'll
its cold halls and hall furnished rooms
One time the family effects were de-
strOyed by fire, with them the bedstead. !
Since then he had always lived in cot
tage.
''So,' - he concluded, ''since it is your
nish that once more l must yield to
your preferences and live in that large
house which in your mistaken kindness
you have provided, l must cheerfully
resign my parish. Chicago Record.

Eating Alligator.

There is reason to believe that tho
desh Of a young boiled alligator is bare
~ distinguiahable from veal. 1t is prcb-
ably cleaner and more tender than much
Of the meat of the animals that are
usually consumed as food on the CONT
nent or in the east end of London. I
have never desired to taste the flesh Of
alligators, cooked or uncoOl1ed. But in
India I have seen the SOntals and other
casteless natives greedily devour the
flesh Of an alligator without waiting to
cook it. The flesh was very pale in color,
and probably was much superior to the
flesh Of snakes and rats and such like
creatures which form the ordinary food
Df the predatory Sontal when huntingin
his native woods. 1t does not fall to his
lot very often to be able to circumvent
and Stay ami eat a large alligator. He
more frequently comes upon small ALI
gators, and they go to swell the con-
tents of his cooking pots. Ii, however,
he is SO lucky as to meet sahib who
has shot large alligator, say about
feet long, he eagerly falls upon the un-
wonted dehcacy without waiting to
cook livery much as we read in books
Of African adventure that the natives
deveur the ca-casses of the large game
animals that the English sportsman do
not want for their own followers

Reasons whole pleasure, all the joys OF

Live in three words, health, peace, and COM

So says the poet. Competence counts for
little when one is sick, and peace is distur bed
when health is upset, so that the poet rightly
places h alth first. To have good health you
must have pure blood. From the blood the
system receives all Its material of growth
and repair. The best blood. purifier is DIR.

Live Pigeon Shooting.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
hever become generally popular il. this
country, because it is doubtful If there
is any form Of SO called ''sport" which
offers SO little amusement for SO large a
price. 1t is cheaper to keep u saddle
horse and pair Of trotters the year
round than to indulge in pigeon shoot
ing to any great extent. The well known
pigeon clubs in the vicinity of New
York sell birds to their members for 50
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
sportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee the men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refresh-I0uts.
Ii bets ere IIade-and there arc many
who seek to recoup themselves in this
way-the expense is likely to be much
greater. In England and on the CONT
nent there are q great many men who are
said to make q good living out of pigeon
shooting by means of bets made on the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such a means OF exist
ence would be looked upon as preca-
rious to say the least.
The birds are supplied TO the club
members at about their original cost,
but q certain profit is made through
their natural increase as well as by the
sale Of the dead birds at 81. 30 % dozen
and by the returning OF those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came. The number of pi-
geons killed during q brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity of New
York is very large.-New York Sun
