RELIGIOUS Faith of Presidents.

The religious convictions and church
affiliations of or presidents have often
excited the curiosity and interest not
only Of church members, but of serious
people generally. Washington was a
communicate of the Episcopal church.
Jefferson, though accused Of being an
atheist, alludes in his writings to his be-
lief in supreme being. Jefferson, how
ever, never connected himself with any
denomination and not very often at
tended any place Of worship. John Ad-
ans was Unitarian. Madison and Mon
roe were Episcopalians. John Quincy
Adams was Unitarian. Jackson join
ed tie Presbyterian church after the
death of his wife. Van Buren, attended
the Dutch Reformed church, but was
not a member W. H. Harrison was an
Episcopalian So also was Tyler. Polk
was not church member, but on his
deathbed was baptized by a Methodist
Clergyman. Taylor was a regular at
tendant at the Episcopal church. Fill
more was a Unitarian. Pierce a Congre-
gationalist. Buchanan belonged to the
Presbyterian church.
President Lincoln belonged to no de-
nomination, though before his election
and frequently afterward he attended
the Presbyterian church. Johnson at
tended the same church as Lincoln.
General Grant was a tolerably regular
attendant on the services Of the Metho-
dist church, though not member of any.
Hayes was Methodist communicate.
Garfield attended the Church of the
Disciples, sometimes also called the
Christian" or "Cmnpbellite, of which
he had once been a preacher. Arthur
was an Episcopalian, Harrison is a Pres
byterian elder and Mr.. Cleveland at
tends the Presbyterian church.-Phila-

a Wonderful Family.

Near Athens, Ga, resides or did reside
recently ole Of the most remarkable
families to .,e found any place in that
section of the south. 1t is the family of
I. Gloer man of the average
weight of about 1856 pounds. Gloer's
"children" and his wife, however, are
persons whose weights are far beyond
the ordinary. To begin with, the wife
weighs 316 pounds, over twice the
weight of the husband. Joseph, the
heaviest of the "boys," weighs 912,
David coming a good second with 300
pounds of avoirdupois. Mary, the only
girl of the family, weighs but little less
than her giant brothers, tipping the
beam at about even 300. Ishman, the
"runt," who, the neighbors say, takes
after his daddy" weighs but 100. TAX
ing the six as grand total, it is doubt
full if there are half dozen families in
the United States comprised of sim
liar number that will weigh rs much.
Collectively they weigh 1853.
The "big McKinneys a celebrated
Hawkeye family, two members OF
whom, with their mother, reside in and
around Knoxville, Ia, are composed Of
four persons-James Oscar, Frank and
John = the quartet weighing 1,O46
pounds.
Borgout's "Queer Characters of Hull
gary tells of all Italian family of ten

known as the "Heselop Giants and
were in their prime about the year 1746.

THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
Refuge From the Tempta-
lions of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA.

THE more important object of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Forti-
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ.
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension Of the principles
| of Total Abstinence from all intoXi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and So years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females 10 years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of and IL years.
Each branch has a service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages ana
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch, of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. y.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
| benefits of SObriety.

IN oyeruwed Hichwayman.

The hue AID cry WIS frequently
raised III Engla:G during the eighteenth
century, against highwaylncn who in
tested the public reads and made even
the enyirons Of Icndon unsafe for well
to do travellers. These knights Of the
road worc ccn McniCusly respectful to
the persons ihcy r>Lled after their first
greeting, Your l:iorcy CT your lifeP'
emphasized by pistol and occasionally
they became champions Of the dis
tressed.
One highway1nan, named Boultcr,
who was hung III 1918, met a young
woman weeping Is he was riding on
horseback. Learning that her distress
was caused by the presence Of a creditor
and bailiff i'll IL neishbor.ng house to
take her husband to prison fer debt of
30 guineas the highwayman gave her
money to pay the debt. Then, when the
creditor came along the road, he took
back the 30 guincas and rode off, much
pleased with his inexpensive charity.
On another occasion this same high
wayman was "blufTcd" by an impe-
rious, pough nobleman, who was also
deaf. Lord O., the noblenan, while
travelling i'll his postchaise, was reused
from a nap by the stopping of the car
riage. Seeing man OIL horseback, pistol
in hand, the nobleman angrily asked:
"What do you want?"
Money, my lord" answered the
man.
"What money? Are you the rascal
who has just awoke me so suddenly"
"Be quick, my lordl I've no time to
lose. Hand over your purse. "
my purse! You shall not have it.
You carry Oh fine trade, don't you?'
Lord O. then quietly pulled out a
full purse and with his finger and
thumb deliberately took out three gum
cas- which he haHdcd to the highway
man, saying: "T:hcre, that's enough for
a scoundrel like you hope may live
to see you hanged. u
The robber was so surprised by the
nobleman's rough manner and con-
temptuous Indifference that he did not
insist in his demand of the purse,
though he had u pistol to enforce it.
