NEW DEVICE OF STREET FAKrRs.
Crowd was Soon Collected and a
Lively Business Followed.

Street fakirs always have novelty to
catch the eye of the public. A number of
these wandering merchants have recently
N visited New Haven. One of the
schemes used to draw crowd is worthy
of mention Here it is: An aged man was
leading a child, clad in rags, down Chapel
street, one cold night recently. The
strong arm of the man hurried the poor
little one on. Then a few tears could be
seen finding their way down the small
face. When Orange street was reached
the little creature made an outcry. A
tall, slender, smooth-faced young man,
evidently touched by the pathetic sight,
grabbed the old man by the arm and ex-
claimed:
What do you mean by having that
poor little child out on the street on a
cold night like this? It's almost freez-
ing
"None of your business" was the harsh
reply of the old man. He then started to

listeners. The old man and child disap-
peared down the street, while the young
man did a good business in pocket stoves

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

Nowadays it is practical benefit to
the worlds active work that men are
after; and he who makes two ears of
corn grow where only one grew be-
fore, or he who can utilize some vast
reserve of motive power now going to
waste, is the sage the world ranks
high, the discoverer who reaps golden
reward. So when it comes to religion.
Not that creed which lavishes de-
scription of the beauties and delights
of the life that is after this; not the
one which erects theories upon the
cries, and sub-theories to prop and sup
port them, touching the salvation of
infants or of linarproachable pagans,
is likely to retain most attention in
these days; but the one who deals with
the problems right close to us, prob

NOTES OF THE DAY.

There are nearly 1000 miles of streets
in London.
There is only one sudden death
among women to eight among men.
The wars of the last seventy years
have cost Russia 1,775, 600 600 and the
lives of $4,000 men.
To be perfectly proportional it is
claimed that man should weigh
twentyeight pounds to every fod- of
his height.
If there is any portion of a bank
bill equal to three-f1fths of it's original
size remaining it is redeemable at it's
face value.
The most 'densely settled state is
Rhode Island, and the second Massa-
chusetts. The former has 1854 in

latter 27S.4S
The letters in the various alphabets
of the world vary from twelve to 2O2
in number. The Sandwich islanders,
alphabet has twelve, the Tartarian 202.
Professor Booteasy says: Cats die
at an elevation of $1,000 feet, even
though they are reputed to have nine
lives when on q level with the ocean
Dogs and men can climb the greatest
known elevations.
An evidence of the striking uniform
ity of size among the Japanese is
found in the fact that recent measure
ments taken of an infantry regiment
showed no variations exceeding two
inches in height or twenty pounds in
weight.
Professional hunters who hunt and
trap among the mountains along the
Snake and Grand Ronde rivers in
Washington say that the weather in
that region has been so mild all winter
that the bears never once went into
winter quarters.
The most expensive parliament in
Europe is that of France. The two
chambers cost the nation 81, 500 900
annually. Spain spends $4,000 on her
representation, Italy S420,0O0, England
$320,00O, Belgium $4,000, Portugal

sometimes be unwound from the cocoon
without turning it over at all.
A doctor says that the big sleeves

TRUSTWORTHY MEN.

Let it once be understood that
man is strictly trustworthy, that he
can be counted on in all the ordinary
emergencies of life and confidence and
unlimited credit are within his reach
Many man has a reputation of far
greater value than bank deposit, for
that by some accident may be de-
stroyed or diverted from its legitimate
purpose, but the name is a guarantee
for all it's owner promises. In years
past, when value had a more fixed
standard, when there was less specu-
lation and not so much of what is
called trading upon paper as at
present, the statement that a mans
word was as good as his bond was
more common than it is nowadays To
have this said of a man, especially one
who is comparatively young, is the
greatest compliment that can be paid
him.-Presb Banner.

CALLS FROM THE PULPIT.

Congregations do not like to hear
from the pulpit so much about money.
One complained that the minister had
four times in a year spoken from the
pulpit about the duty of giving more
literally. Well, the trouble was that
they had not given enough. and his
duty was to train them into this grace
also. Wesley's mother is said to have
repeated lesson to him twenty times.
The father asked why she said it over
SO often, and she replied: Because
nineteen times were not enough. If
the people were up to duty in aims
deeds that would be enough to keep the
pressing calls out OF the pulpit-Re-

to exhibit that love for the world.
Hence it IS written: God so loved the

that whatsoever believeth in him
might not perish, but have everlasting
life Aye Gods goodness extends to
even the animal creation. He has
made ''the high hills as a refuge for
