It Crops Out Occasionally Among Elders
OF the Kirk.

It Crops Out Occasionally Among Elders
of the Kirk.
The elder of the kirk, like most of us,
can blunder occasionally. The pastor of
a small village on the borders had gone
for a few days to visit some relatives,
when an OLD lady was suddenly stricken
down and not expected to live more
than a few hours. The elder was hastily
summoned 20 attend; but, having been
lately elected to the post, which he had
accepted in order to satisfy the vanity
Of his wife, he did not feel able to face
the trying ordeal. His wife %entreated
him to do his duty, and whispering a
few lines Of Scripture into his ears sent
him off on his errand.
An hour later his wife beheld him
stepping homeward as brisk as q March
hare. She inquired how he had come on.
"Oh, fine, woman, fine - was the re-
ply. "She vas deid when 1 got there! :"
A short time ago, when disestablish-
ment was in everybody's mouth, an old
lady created quite a sensation in a
church not far from Amman. Having
been from home a considerable time,
h was unaware that the election Of
elders had taken place. She attended
services the following Sunday, when the
minister, commenting on the result, re-
marked that in David Richardson the
church had a new pillar Of strength, to
which she retorted: "What!> David
Richardson a pillar! Nae wonder the
auld kinks gaun to fa'r David, who
had the misfortune to have a wooden
leg and a hump back, quietly rose up
and answered: "Whee hit, We gowk.

hood not straight
On one occasion the minister met
Donald coming from Dumfries Rood fair
in rather a muddled state. David !
David! Dr. I see your double?'
"Eh, guidsakes, minister - exclaimed
the elder. ''Guidsakes, are ye>fou tae?"
A minister, feeling indisposed on one
occasion, did not put in an appearance,
and the elder, apologizing for his alb
sence, gave it out hat 'his reverence
was unco had in the roomattic" (for so
he pronounced the word ~rheumatism)
land couldn't get out"
On hearing this startling intelligence
an old lady who happened to be pres
ent shrieked out:
"Eh, that auld hizzy o. his! Has she
locked puir man in the attic because he
was enjoying himself at Farmer Bells
kirn?'-Scottish American.

SPANS VIEW OF IT.
SENIOR CASTELAR,, Ex-DlCTATOR OF
SPAIN, SPEAKS OF CUBA.

Americans Called UnJust-New Religion
Inevitable America Must sooner or
Later Create One Which vii he Called
Hispanism.
Senior CASTELAR,, the famous Spaniard,
expressed himself as follows recently to
. correspondent of the European edition
Of the New York Herald in regard to
Cuban affairs:
II ought not to NEEDLE in q question
involving a conversation between two
gentlemen, but l must say that the ideas
expressed by the American ambassador
in Paris, or those attributed to him, have
spread throughout the United States,
thus injuring all island that the United
States are supposed to defend.
"When the old regime ended and we
prepared to finish up slavery in 1868 the
Separatists initiated a wal that never
would have occurred to them in the
time Of colonial absolutism:
"Now, when the Spaniards are about
to increase the privileges of the island
without damaging the national unity,
back they go to war, which I consider
is As antihuman as was the action Of
the slave owners toward the redeemer
Of the slaves, Lincoln.
when Spain represses the insurrec-
ton, and she will repress it quickly,
what will the United States say if beau
tiful Cuba be reduced to the condition
of rebellious states? Spain will not in
terfere with Cuban progress, but the
fault will be with those who sustain de-
ceitful hopes.
North Americans are not just to the
country which was the mother and dis
coverer of America. Classicism in liter
allure and art still reigns in Europe, and
there exists throughout the world q sort
Of religion called Hellenic, because
Greece was the initiator Of European
civilization. In occidental countries we
have made Roman civilization a dogma
and called it Catholicism.
well, America must sooner or later
create a religion which will be called
Hispanism, because from the Mississippi
to Patagonia America owes the civiliza-
ton which has been it's life to Spain,
and the logical laws of religion and 30
ciety desire that Spain shall always be
an American power in the interest of
VI planet and the good Of humanity"

II. V. Jones, the commercial editor of
the Minneapolis Journal says Of his re-
cent tour Of South Dakota:
While l shall make no state estimates
OF yield until after an inspection Of
wheat in northern Minnesota and in
North Dakota, l wish to emphasize one
point here, in order that there may be no
misunderstanding to my position at this
time. The dispatch printed from me
yesterday gave South Dakota a full
CROP" when l wrote "ine CROP" 1
would not like to say "full crop" because
there might be a difference Of opinion as
to what that would be. In a bulletin
printed last week, / said the injury to
wheat in central counties Of South Da-
kota had not been overestimated with
averages for some counties running as
low as five bushels. In view of this it
may be considered by some inconsistent
to claim a fine crop for the state. And
yet it Is perfectly consistent, for the
average yield south Of the Milwaukee
road will be so heavy that a large aver
age for the state will be maintained.
There will be nc reduction Of acreage in
the state. either, all Of the southern
counties having liberal increases to off
set decreases north. think this state
ment ought to be satisfactory to those i'll
the northern counties of the state who
have been claiming small averages, and,
IN most instances, t%ruthfully SO, and at
the same time satisfactory to the lower
counties where, as many expressed it,
there's nc kick comm"
l make the general statement for the
purpose of clearing up the situation, and
l think that it my statement OF very low
averages in the northern part of the
state is accepted by traders who are in
terested, the statement of very large
yields in the southern counties should
be given the same show of confidence.
1t Is my desire to give a perfectly i'm
partial summary Of the r situation.

Husband and Wife Strangely Located.

Mrs. Catharine Muller was sent to
the county house, near Rome, N. Y,
Aug. IS, 1894, and she died June II.
She aud her husband parted about Is
years ago, and neither knew the where
abouts Of the other. Mr.. Muller was
sent to the county house from Clinton
March %. Each was about 70 years old.
Both were at the county house for sew
eral months and knew nothing Of each
other presence. When the mother died,
her son was notified in Syracuse, and he
came here, and as he was about to
enter the home he saw his father on the
plaza of that institution. He did not
know where his father was and sup
posed he was dead. The son was too
poor to bury his mother, and she was
laid away in the Home cemetery. He
said he would provide for his father and
took him to his home. Utica Observer.

Sioux Falls, which has steadily and
persistently "sown the wind" in lobbying
for lax divorce laws is now "reaplng the
whirlwind" In an unsavory moral repu-
tation all through, as set forth by one of
the colony" in all the leading papers of
the United States. According to the
article Sioux Falls is a morally rotten
borough and the Argus Leader is doing
its best to refute the charges. But j.
Leslie, when lobbying for this immoral
legislation last winter said 1t was worth
$4,000 a year to his paper and he is now
no doubt reaping his reward. But virtue
and honor for money is a dear exchange.

SAROINE FISHING.
IT Process From the Time of the Catch
to the Canning and Cooking.

The Process From the Time of the Catch
to the Canning and Cooking.
Toward the end of April the sardine
fishermen along the coast of Brittany
begin to watch for the bubbling of the
sardines Oh the surface of the sea. For
they know that vast shoals of the little
fish are on their way from the coast of
Africa up through the bay of Biscay to
the north, and that they must be caught,
II at all, as they pass. When any one
sees the water agitated, word spreads
rapidly and the boats put out from the
shore and race to the shoal.
When the net is extended, the water
is ''baited' by throwing balls of
"roque" into it. As the bait dissolves
and sinks the sardines rise and remain
long after to nibble it, and their doom
is sealed. For this reason "roque" is a
most important part Of the sardine fish
erman's outfit. 1t is made Of the eggs of
mackerel and Goldfish mixed with clay,
and is rather expensive, costing from 25
shillings to 20 shillings a barrel.
) Within the curing factories or can
neries everything is hustle and confu-
sion, for there must not be a moments
delay in cleaning the fish. All night
long the work is carried ON by the light
OF blazing oil wicks. The sardines are
spread out on benches or tables, where
salt is busted we them. Then the
women go along and snip off the heads
with great scissors.
The little fiat boxes SO we'll known
to commerce are taken one by one and
filled from the glistening pile Of fish,
after which pure olive oil from the
province Of Bari, in Italy, is poured
over them and the tops solderedon.
In the meantime a great ealdron of
hot water has been raised to the boiling
point ready for the real operation of
cooking the fish. The sealed boxes are
thrown into it and left for two or three
hours. If any oil appears on the top of
the water, the master workman knows
that some AN has not been properly
soidered, and the loss is charged up to
the man who did the work. A good
workman will not lose more than two
or three boxes in l0O.-New York Re-
