GOT THE SACK.

Thirteen Freight Cars Broken Open for
an Empty Flour sack.
The seals of thirteen freight cars were
broken night before last at the Santa Fe
yards at Emporia. The only things that
could be missed from them were a
box of books and two sacks of -four. The
box was found unopened this morning,
one sack of -four was also found intact
and -four in the other sack was found in
a pile on the ground, but the sack was
gone, SO that it seems that the burglar
got only the sack.

Why He Remained Away.

Clergy who complain of the lack Of con
flrmation candidates ought to make quite
sure that people understand the nature OF
the rite. A vicar in the Midlands has
been confiding his experience to Peter
Lombard of The Church Times. The
good man thus states the case: One has
sometimes heard of baptism being confused
with vaccination but a still more curious
case of confusion of thought occurred in
our village of over 1, 600 inhabitants. A
young man, being invited to join the con-
firmation classes recently formed, prom
ised to come, but failed to put in an APP
pearance. On inquiring at his home his
grandmother stated that the reason of his
absence was that he did not know what
was required of him. "He thought he
should have to strip to be examined" and
he did not relish the idea.-Pall Mall Ga

BUFFERS FEAST ON CRABS.
Fate of Fiddlers or Blue Crabs That Get
Into Their Tank at an AQUARIUM.


When pursued by an enemy, the puffer
or swellfish, which is common along this
coast, distends itself with air or water in
to the shape Of globe, to make itself too
big to be taken into the mouth of its pur-
suer. In It's ordinary shape it is almost
fiat bellied, with a rounded back; its belly
is white, its back gray and speckled with
large brown spots, ana it attains a length
of about eight inches. The puffer has in
each jaw two strong triangular teeth, with
sharp, cutting edges, set close together.
With these teeth it can easily crush the
shell of a crab. The puffer is very fond of
crabs and other thin shelled crustaceans,
and it likes topip off barnacles from sunk
en- logs and splles.
There are half dozen buffers In one OF
the wall tanks OF the New York aquari-
UNI at Castle Garden. Their regular food
is freshly opened round clans, but there is
fed to them occasionally live crab or
lot of fiddler crabs, their natural food, to
keep them in good Lealth. Twenty or thir-
ty fiddler crabs are placed in the tank at
once, and each puffer will eat four or five,
devouring all but the hard claws. The
tank is five feet in width and four feet in
depth There is put into the tank sedge
crab, perhaps an inch and a hapf in length.
1t sinks straight down through the water
with its legs extended and mOtionless.
When the crab is about half way to the
bottom, q putfer makes a dart at it as
though it were butting it, 1t doesn't ap-
pear to bite the crab The crab sinks to
the bottom, its claws still held rigid, feign-
ing death, perhaps, for there are fish that
won't eat dead food, though the puffer Is
not one of them.
On the bottom the crab ambles off to
one end of the tank, and there a little Kill
lie comes down to look at it. Then puff
er darts down and with single quick
snap bites piece out of ITS shell at the
front edge. After that the buffers make
short work of the crab. The killies, big
an opportunity, and so do the shrimps,
and soon there is nothing left but the hard
pincher claws.
In nature the puffcr will tackle full
grown blue crab having body five or six
inches in length and spread of claws of
eight or ten inches. The blue crab is de-
cidedly fighter, but the putfer often gets
the better of it. The puffer first disables
the crab. 1t darts at the crabs pincher
claws and breaks them off or pulls them
off. Sometimes it pulls them out of joint,
and it renders the big crab as helpless as a
man would be without his arms. Then the
fish starts at the crabs top shell, and after
repeated efforts bites u hole in it, and then
it makes away with the crab quickly

THE ANGLER.

But lock! Der the fall see the angler stand,
Swinging his rod with skillful hand;
The fly at the end Of his gossamer line
Swims through the sun like a summer moth,
Till, dropt with careful precision fine,
1t touches the pool beyond the froth.
A-sudden the speckled hawk Of the brook
Darts from his covert and seizes the hook.
Swift spins the rel: with easy slip
The line pays out, and the rod, like whip,
1.-the and arrowy, tapering, slim,
Is bent to a bow Ger the brooklet's brin,
Till the trout leaps up in the sun, and filings
The spray from tie fash Of his fnny wings;
Then falls On his side, and, drunken with
fright,
Is towed to TIE shore like staggering barge,
Till beached at last Oh the sandy narge,
Where he dies with the hues OF the morning
light,
While his sides with a cluster Of stars are
bright.
The angler in his basket lays
The constellation and goes his ways.

LOST SOULS.
Queer and Interesting Statistics on the
Supposed Population of He'll.

Supposed Population of He'll.
In q late edition of an English free
thinkers magazine VIC find some curious
statistics on the relative number Of souls
that have been saved and lost Stree the
creation Of tho world. They are very faulty
as we'll as rashly presumptive-this latter
remark refers to the probable number OF
souls lost between the date Of the birth or
Adam and that Of Christ-but are queer
and interesting nevertheless. Tho follow
ing Is q synopsis Of the article:
In round numbers the earth has popu-
lation Of 300, 900, 900, Of whom BOO, o0O,
900 arc protested Christians the other
1000, 600, 900 bcdng Mohammedans, Bud
dhists, jews, pagans and heathens. Tho
whole race was condemned to eternal pun
ishment for tho sin OF Adam. This was
the fall Of man, and for wlbh there was
and Is no redemption save through the
death OF Christ.
Biblical chronology gives the earth a
period Of 6, 900 years. From Adams time
down to tho date of the birth Of Christ
was A, 900 years, during which time all hu-
man souls were lost. The population of
the globe during that 4, 900 years averaged,
we will say, 1000, 900, 900. Three genera
tions, or 5000, 900, 900, passed away each
century.
Forty centuries, therefore, consigned
1870, 900, 600, 900 human souls to eternal
fire, and If we are to believe the doctrine
of eternal punishment these souls must
still DO in hell. In the 1900 years which
have elapsed since the birth of Christ, 81,
100000, 900 more Of human beings have
lived and died. If oil the Christians, nom
inal and real, who have ever lived on the
face of the earth have been saved, they
would not number more than IS, 600, 000,-
900. Now, If we deduct the latter number
from the grand total of III, 600, 900, 900,
tho number which have been born since
the creation, we find that $50, 900, 900, 600
Of souls are now suffering the torments of
holl fire against a possible $4,000 900, 600
who have escaped. But this is not the
whole truth. No one believes that over 10
per cent of professed Christians are really
such. The Calvinists say that the elect
arc very few. Say that 10 per cent of tho
SO called Christians have been saved,
which Is very doubtful, then heaven con.
tains population Of less than 1880, 000,-
600, while that Of hell aggregates upward
of goo, 000 600, 000.-St. Louis Republic.
