Stealing Bis Own Property.

A reckless man left an apple in bag
on his desk in a room where several
people sat. An Office boy "peeped" into
the bag, hovered longingly around it,
finally brought another boy around to
share the temptation, asked if anybody
owned the apple, and then assured that
the apple belonged to nobody in the
world promptly fell There seems to be
something in the theory that crime, like
misery, loves company, for the young
ster divided the apple with the other
boy, making him party to the theft.
Not content with this, he placed piece
of coal in the paper, closed the top and
replaced the bag on the desk. The right
full owner Of the apple came i'll min.
ute later, and seeing the office boy and
the bag containing the apple, as he sup
posed, he picked up the latter and held
it out.
"Here's an apple I saved for you, !"
he said, and he handed over the bag to
the boy.
Honesty is the-but everybody knows
what it is, and that Office boy looked
truly conscience stricken that he had di-
vided the apple when ne might have
had it alll-New York Tribune.

theme. At its close the contracting
parties, who had been seated on oppo-
site sides of the church, came forward
and presented themselves at the altar.
A series of questions was propounded,
and these having been answered af-
irmatively, the young couple were
pronounced married. Both resumed
their seats, and the church services
were concluded.
Courtship by members of this church
| is pursued in a manner peculiar to
themselves. Until the engagement,
which is several weeks before the mar
riage, the bride and groom have no
communication with each other. When
brother in the church wants to mar
ry sister he does not make his wish
known directly to her, but goes to the
minister and tells him his secret. The
minister, if pleased with the match,
carries the brothers. message. The
sister is usually surprised, as this is
supposed to be her first intimation Of
the plan. If the proposal is received
with favor, the negotiations are car
ried on by the minister.
The ceremony always takes place in
church. No invitations are issued,
but the banns are proclaimed from the
pulpit two weeks beforehand. During
this period the groom is permitted to
visit his intended without the interven-
ton of third party.
After the wedding dinner is always
served, after which bride and groom
go to their respective homes, and re-
main apart for several days. The
marriages in the church are generally
happy ones, and there is no record Of
any of the members ever suing for
divorce.

PASSING THE SALT.-A dapper
young bookkeeper living in Corryville
thought he was going to get married q
short while ago, but his only rival was
a prominent newsgatherer. His affec-
tions rested upon beautiful young
lady, whose first name, by the way,
was Helen, and when he popped the
question, she shyly replied: ~ don't
know, ask papa" The young man,
knowing that he had rival, lost no
time in repairing to the old gentleman.
The latter was disposed to be very
particular as to the character of a
young man who should come and ask
the hand of his daughter in marriage.
He questioned the suitor closely as to
his habits. The young man declared
that he neither drank nor gambled,
and the old man, who had previously
looked up his antecedents to some
extent, expressed himself satisfied
with these avowals. Then he invited
his prospective son-in-law in to dinner.
Just at this moment who popped In
but the newsgatherer, and in his own
natural way made himself at home.
All sat down to dinner, and the book
keeper became very restless at the ap-
pearance of his rival, and began toy
ing with the salt box in peculiar
way. "Please pass the SALT" remarked
the old gentleman. The bookkeeper
gently pushed the salt box toward
paterfamilias with the ends of his fin
gers, at the same time making slight
forward movement with his head.
"That will do," said Helen's father,
"you can't marry my daughter" The
careful and discerning father had dis
covered from the way in which his
Juliet's Romeo had pushed the salt
box forward that he was familiar with
the handling of poker chips. 1t is all
over with the bookkeeper.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE SEA.

Lie OCcduS duu oooo oA0 ono SiS"'
reservoirs into which run all the riv-
ers of the world. 1t is the cistern
which finally catches all the. rain that
falls not upon its own surface, but
upon the surface of the land as well.
All Of this water is removed again by
evaporation as fast as it is supplied, it
being estimated that every year layer
of the entire water surface of the globe
over ii feet thick is taken up into the
clouds to fall again as rain. This
vapor is fresh, of course, and if all the
water of the oceans could be removed
in the same way and none of it re-
turned, it is calculated that there
would be a layer of pure salt 23O feet
thick left in the bottoms of these great
reservoirs. This is upon the supposi-
ton that each three feet of ocean
contains one inch of salt, and that the
average depth of all oceans is three
miles.
At a depth of 800 feet the temper
ature is uniform, varying but a triie
between the poles and the equator. In
many of the deep bays on the coast
of Norway and other Arctic countries
the water often begins to freeze at the
bottom before it does at the surface.
At the same depth, $500 feet, waves
are not felt. Waves do not travel
that is, the water does not move for
ward, although it seems to do so; it
remains stationary. 1t is the rising
and falling that moves on.
The pressure of the water increases
rapidly with the depth. At a distance
of one mile the pressure is reckoned
as about one ton to the square inch,
or more than 1873 times the pressure
of the atmosphere.
To get correct soundings in deep
water is difficult. The best invention
for that purpose is shot weighing
about 80 pounds, which carries down
line. Through this shot or "sinker"
hole is drilled, and through the hole
is passed q rod of iron which moves
easily back and fourth. At the end
of the bar cup is dug out, the inside
being coated with lard. The bar is
made fast to the line, a sling holding
the shot in position. When the bar,
which extends below the shot, touches
the bottom, the sling unhooks and the
shot slides downward and drives the
lard-coated cup into the sand at the
bottom. In that way the character of
the oceans floor is determined.
If the surface of the Atlantic was
lowered 1854 feet it would be reduced
to exactly half its present width. If
the Mediterranean were lowered 660
feet Italy would be joined. to Africa,
and three separate seas would re-

CHURCH SERVICES In EARLY DAYS.
The services in these churches were
long. They were opened by reading
and singing conducted by the voorlee-
zer, or voorzauger-that general utility
man who was usually precentor,
schoolmaster, bell-ringer, sexton, grave
digger and clerk. During the singing
the dominic entered, and pausing for
few minutes at the foot of the pulpit
in silent prayer, he soon assembled to
his seat of state. The psalms were
given out to the congregation through
large hanging board with movable
printed slips. Of course the powers
and duties of this church functionary,
the voorleezer, varied in different
towns, says writer in The Atlantic.
In all he seems to have charge of the
turning of the hour-glass, which stood
near the pulpit in sight of the dominic.
In Kingston, where the pulpit was
high, he thrust up to the preacher the
notices stuck in the end OF a cleft
stick. In this town, about Revolu-
tionary times, he was also paid two
shillings per annum by each family to
20 around and knock loudly on the
doors every Sunday morning to warn
that it was service time. In some
towns he was permitted to give three
sharp raps of warning with his staff
on the pulpit when the hour-glass had
run out second time, thus shutting
off the sermon.
