STUDIED THE WRONG ANSWERS

A young man, intending to enter the
matrimonial state, decided to study
the answers to the questions which he
would be required to answer by the
preacher He made very ridiculous
mistake by studying the answers to
the questions asked persons about to
be baptized instead of those he should
have studied. Upon the preacher
asking him if he took this woman to
be his lawful welded wife," the groom
fearlessly answered, Il renounce them
all ~
The minister was so astonished at
his answer that he muttered, II be-
lieve you're a fool"
The happy groom blandly answer
ed "All this | steadfastly believe"
The mistake was soon afterwards
discovered ; and the groom was then
told what to say and he said it with
out further mistake.

RATHER EMBARRASSING.

zone OF the funniest and yet the
most embarrassing things that ever
happened during my ministry" said
a Clergyman TO reporter, happened
while | had charge of church in IL
small town. One Sunday l had for 4
guest q clergyman who had removed
from our town to a distant city about
ten months previous. As he was Il
very popular man with his townsmen
| asked him to occupy my pulpit that
Sunday morning. 1t happened that
lust at the time this clergyman lef!
town q young man, who had only been
married short time, lost his bride
and was completely crushed by the
blow. Fears were entertained for his
reason, and every one IN town, includ.
ing my friend, the clergyman, felt the
deepest sympathy for him. Well. il
happened that while he was escorting
his wife's remains to her former home
he met a most charming young lady,
and in less than six months they were
married. But the clergyman knew
nothing of this, and when on that
fateful Sunday morning he stood il
the pulpit and saw before him thi.
young widower, as he supposed, he
naturally thought of his bereavement
So it was that during his prayer the
congregation was amazed to hear him
begin to pray for this young man.
He said:
"'There is before you, Lord, a
young man who has suffered recent
and terrible aflliction and for whom
we ask your special blessing. Be neal
and comfort him in his last affiiction
keep him safe in life and be near hin
when death shall remove him from his
great sorrow
Just think what that poor man
and his new wife must have felt sit
ting through such a prayer as that
The whole congregation gasped."

SHE HAD TO GO.

''If you tell u lie, you must stick tc
it,"
This is old and to some extent true
as woman of my acquaintance prov
ed recently.
She is stopping at hotel here and
intends to return shortly to her home
in Utica.
While out shopping the other day
she met a mother and daughter from
her own town whom she doesn't know
But they fell upon her neck.
''if this isn't just glorious To think
of our meeting you here. We don't
know a soul in New York, and know
you'll take Us round and show us the
sights"
Well, my friend just made up he1
mind that she'd do nothing of the sort
She wanted what little time she hat
for herself. So she replied-it wa!
wrong of course
I'm awfully sorry, but I'm living a
New Rochelle, and have just run il
for some shopping. I'm going on
again this afternoon"
"Oh, isn't that too bad? Wha
train do you take p
The 3 O'clock
well, we'll go up and see you off. ;
Here was Il nice state of affairs
but there was Ito way out of it thai
my friend could think of without be
ing absolutely rude.
So up they all went to the depot
and that unfortunate woman bough
a ticket to New Rochelle, and actually
had to go there, as her friends upoI
the platform gave her no opportunity
of escaping from the train.

W1LKING BACK WARDS CURE FOR
HEADACHE.

An apostle of physical culture says
that an excellent and never failing
cure for nervous headache is the sim
pie act of walking backward. Ten
minutes is as long as is usually neces-
sary to promenade. 1t sometimes,
however, requires more than ten
minutes to walk at all, if one is very
nervous" But it is not understood
that it is necessary to walk a chalk
line. Any kind of walking will do,
provided it is backward. IL is well to
get in long, narrow room, where the
windows are high, and walk very
slowly, placing first the ball of the
foot on the floor, and then the heel.
Besides curing the headache, this
exercise promotes a graceful carriage.
A half hours walk backward every
day will do wonders toward producing
a graceful gait.

THE ONLY GOLD TOILET SET.

The only complete gold toilet service
in the world belongs to the Khedive
of Egypt. 1t was made in London
and consists of twenty eight pieces.
Each piece bears the monogram Of the
Khedive in diamonds, the same being
surrounded by a fillet in imitation of
that of the Grand Turk. Upwards of
5000 diamonds and over 200 rubies
were used in decorating these golden
toilet articles. The body of each
piece is OF eghteen-carat gold, and all
are inclosed in a diamond-incrusted
ebony case.

WAITING,

Sweet childhood with thy painted toys,
Oblivious of those tleeting joys,
., sing and sport, for soon, alasi
Those bright and joyous days will pass,
But wouldst thou knew thy latent powers
That slumber through those sunny hours,
In vain thou shalt inquire of fate,
Full many year yet thou must wait.
Ambitious youth with eager eyes,
Looks forward i'll those halcyon days
To laurels bright he hopes to gain,
But lon" he struggles for i'll vain;
Like mirage oft before his eyes,
Appears the goal and envied prize;
He still pursues the aliuring bait,
But ere he grasps it long must wait.
Matured manhood with like zest,
Pursues his phantom with the rest;
But with more obstacles he copes.
Though not less ardent are his hopes,
Advancing years now trials bring.
While older ones around him cling,
With life along these terminate,
But for deliverance he must wait.
Old age, with snowy locks, appears,
Bt Meath his weight of cares and years
Subdued are now ambitions fires,
And higher hopes his soul inspires.
Almost within his eager gaze
Are dazzling CLEANS of heavenly rays;
And ere he sees the Golden Gate"
He hath not now long to wait.

The Washington Star has heard of
a young lady who went into the coun-

in rural sights and sounds.
On the second day she saw farmer
walking slowly between the rows of
his garden and picking something in
to tin dish. She went near, but
could not solve the mystery.

politely, :'but l can't see any fruit on
these vines.n
No ?" answered the farmer.
Ono, l don't see anything but leaves
and flowers. What are you picking?"
"'Tater bugs" said the farmer.
