4 malicious person, who took pleas

Guthrie, the eloquent Scotch preacher.
But the young minister-the incident

The malignant man had been very i'll,

doctor would permit, visited him. The

for It. Il was at time when the con-
.roversy that resulted in the formation
Of the Free church was raging through
out Scotland, and scurrilous pamphlet
had been published against DIR. Guth-
rie. which he had heard Of, but not seen.
The malignant man, who had secured
copy of the pamphlet, Thought to
mortify his minister by getting him to
take it home and read it. No sooner
had the clergyman finished praying
with him and risen to his feet to go
than the man said
"Oh, Mr.. Guthrie, hore is PAM

Jay Gould's Orchids.

"Shrewd as Jay Gould was in every
branch of finance" a flower merchant
said to me the other day, che had no
idea whatever Of the value of orchids
his great hobby. The old orchid collec-
tion up at Irvington has run down
now, but during Gould's lifetime it
was one Of the finest in the world. The
amount Of money that had been spent
on it, however, was enormous. Careful,
conservative buying by an orchid expert
would have gathered it together at al
most fraction of the sum actually paid
out. Many exquisite and rare varieties
were numbered in it, it is true, but an
excessive price was paid for the most of
them.
"The old financier's ways in this
were well known, and people with fine
orchids to sell seldom failed to get the
sum they asked. Actually, he used to
pay as much as $50 at times for orchids
that were hardly worth quarter Of
that In London he had agents constant
ly on the lookout for rare plants Of this
species, and he paid them prices that
they could have obtained nowhere else. {"

"The man who said. 'Tis the unex-

preacher, I'll guarantee" said clerical
member Of the Lunch club. "At my
time Of life I ought not to be stunned by
anything, but after service good wom-
an Of my flock did manage to take my
breath away. Twas preaching about the
Fathers tender wisdom In caring for us
ALL" he said. "I illustrated by saying
that the Father knows which of us grows
best in sunlight and which Of us must
have shade. You know you plant roses
in the sunshine, said, and heliotrope
and geraniums. but if you want your
fuchsias to grow you must keep them in
shady nook. After the sermon, which
/ hoped would be a comforting one, a
woman came up to me, her face glowing
with pleasure that was evidently deep
and true. oh, DR.. -, am SO CRATE
full for that sermon, she said, clasping
my hand and shaking it warmly. My
heart glowed for a moment, while I
wondered what tender place in her heart

ment, though. Yes, she went on fer
vently, I never knew before what was
the matter with my fuchsias. '"-Chi-

victors Supply Hard Boiled Eggs.

There is strange custom attendant
upon local elections which has existed
in Brown township, Delaware county,
O., for the last 80 years. 1t is that Of
eating 40 dozen hard boiled eggs on
election night at the expense Of the sue
cessful candidates. Neither the bill Of
fare nor the number Of eggs is ever va
ried. Each year committee is selected
to secure the eggs and prepare the feast.
When the count is finished, the eggs are
passed around and the banquet begins.
The persons who are elected foot the
bill. Party feeling never interferes with
this part Of the election proceedings, and
it is an unwritten law that the feast is
to be furnished. But one man ever dared
to brave popular sentiment and refuse
to pay his share Of the expense. He had
been elected by good plurality, but
was turned down mt the next election for
no other reason than his want Of respect
for the custom. The election for the
township is held at the little village of
Eden, where the greater part of the
township is gathered ON the night Of the
feast. No one knows how the ceremony
originated. ed.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

There is probably no peasantry in the
world SO ground down rs the Persian.
The agricultural laborer there, as in
China, never tries to ameliorate his con-
dition, for the simple reason that If he
earns more, more is taken away from
him by the rulers Of the land. The gen.
eral condition Of the laboring classes,
however, does not seem to be 80 bad az
might be supposed. In a country 80 vast
(550, 900 square miles) and 80 thinly
populated (5, 500, 900 in all), a small
and sufficient supply of food is easily
raised, especially with such prolific soil
at the command Of the poorest. At
Shiraz there are two harvests in the
year. The self, sown in summer and
reaped in autumn, consists of rice, cot
ton, Indian corn and garden produce,
and the tchatoi is sown in October and
November, and reaped from May till
July. This is exclusively wheat and
barley. Here also grow grapes, oranges
and pomegranates, for which latter
Shiraz is famed.

Documentary Evidence.

The average parent does not half ap-

his daughter the dangers that may arise
from the too free use Of her pen. Men
are taught in their business life to be
careful what they put on paper, and
this same caution ought to be part Of ev-
