"Mr." Mason. as his people love TO
call him, is a man OF great simplicity
of character--a frank, straightforward.
manly man. Of singulariy attractive per-
sonaIlty. A most marked characteristic
az a pastor Is his power to engage and
hold the affections OF his congregations.
This has been conspicuously noticeable
wherever he has served, and no church
has ever parted with him except with
the sincerest regret
He Is a preacher OF marked ability.
both intellectually \ and spiritually.
Without art or artfice. and totally with
out any attempt at display. his sermons
are full OF power and earnestness, which
command attention and impress his
hearers with his own deep convictions
OF the truth and the Importance OF his
message. His sermons are carefully pre-
pared. but are delivered without the
aid of manuscript.
But It Is in private Intercourse. In
the sick room, by the hearth where
sorrow sits, I'm the struggles OF The sin

sweetness and strength. and tenderness

Ready to Comnromiac.

An Engishman at dinner once told q
tale Of tiger he had shot which meas
ured "a feet from snout to tail-tip.
Everyone was astonished, but no one
ventured to insinuate doubt of the
truth of the story. Presently Scotch
man told his tale. He had once caught
n fish which he said he was unable to
pull in alone, managing only to land it
at last with the aid of six friends. 1T
was skate, and it covered two acres"
Silence followed this recital, during
which the offended Englishman left the
table. The host followed. After return
ing, he said to the Scotchman: You
have insulted my friend. You must
apologize" II dinna insoolt him." said
the Scot. "Yes, you did, with your two
acre fish story. You must apologize"
WELL" said the offender, slowly, with
the air of one making great conces-
sion, tell him II he will take ten feet Oft
his tiger will see what / can do with
the fish."-London Figaro.

OLD OAkEN BUCKET.
How Little Elsie Illustrated One OF HeI
Favorite Songs.

How Little Elsie Illustrated One OF Her
Favorite Songs.
A dear little girl, named Elsie, was
quite singer, and very fond of an old
song, familiar to most children, called
The Old Oaken Bucket" Elsie was
taking lessons in drawing, which inter-
ested her very much. She drew pictures
in all her spare time, and often leased
mamma with the question::
"What shall / draw next, mammal"
Mamma always suggested cows, or
bears, or steamengines, or trees, ac-
cording to the first idea which came
into her head. One day, in answer to
Elsie's usual question, mamma re-
Piled:
"Draw the old oaken bucket Elsie.
You are very fond of singing The Old
Oaken Bucket. Sit down and make Il
picture of it."
This was new. Elsie, with deep
satisfied breath, sat down and staid
quiet about five minutes. At the end of
that time she brought mamma this
picture:
"What upon earth does this meant"
asked mamma. 1t looks ike conuh-
drum, Elsie; or like the sun, moon, and
stars!"
Elsie looked at her design with great
pride, and little impatience at
mammals obtuseness.
"why, don't you see, mammal? she
cried. "Thc first one is the old oakcn
bucket, and the next one is the IRON
bound bucket and the next is the
moss-covered bucket that hangs in the
well!'"
Then mamma laughed hard, leaning
back in her chair, while she held Elsie's
sketch at arm's-length to see it better,
as artists always look ut pictures.
"And what are all those little spots
for, Elsie?"
"Why-those, mnmma?' said Elsie.
"Tbose are the spots that my infancy
knew!" '-Harper's Round Table.

TEMPEST IN A BOTTLE.
A Very simple Experiment Invented by =
Belgian Professor.

belRmn IEOIebsoTs
Some of our young experimenters may
be interested in simple device for max
ing real rainstorm in n bottle. The
only apparatus necessary is tall bottle,
like the one shown in the cut, and an
ordinary coffee saucer. The bottle Is
half filed with alcohol of 02 degrees
strength, and heated IN n bath of water
until the alcohol, the bottle and the
saucer are of an almost equal temper
AZURE. Then the apparatus is removed
from the water, wiped quickly with a
soft cloth, and the experimenter is
ready to watch some wonderful trans
formations inside of the bottle.
The yapor of the alcohol soon rises
and fills the bottle, but the saucer cools
rapidly, and the vapor being warmed Is
quickly condensed. Real clouds appear
in the upper part of the bottle, and pres
emily, as the cooling process goes on,
tiny rain drops form and fall just rs in
a regular shower.
The whole process of the distribution
CT moisture on the earth's surface is
illustrated in the bottle. The alcohol
is the ocean or the lake, the air above
it is the clear sky, and the warm bath
of water is the sun. The saucer plays
