Was Grateful to The Preacher.

"The man who said ''tis the unex-
pected that always happens, was a
preacher, I'll guarantee" said a.chemi-
cal member of the Lunch Club. "At
my time of life I ought not to be
stunned by anything, but after service
a good woman of my flock did manage
to take my breath away. I was
preaching about the Fathers tender
wisdom in caring for US ALL" he said.
'I illustrated by saying that the
Father knows which of US grow best
in sunlight and which of us must
have shade. you know you plant
roses in the sunshine I said, 'and
heliotrope and geraniums, but if you
want your fuchsias tc grow you must
keep them in a shady nook After
the sermon which I hoped would be a
comforting one, a woman came up to
me, her face glowing with a pleasure
that was evidently deep and true
oh, Doctor, -, | am so grateful
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 and life I had touched. Only
for a moment. thought. Yes she
went on, fervently, I never knew
before what was the matter with my
fuchsias. "-Chlcago Interior.

The Precise Man.

"When you put a postage stamp on
an envelope" said a precise man to
his son, 'you should put it on square
and true, in the upper right hand cor
ner, and as near as possible to the
margin of the envelope. You put it
-on at the right hand corner for the
convenience of the stampers in the
%postoAice, so that it may be uniform
in location with the stamps on other
envelopes and so more conveniently and
expeditiously stamped. You should
study the comfort of others as we'll as
yourself. You should put it as near
as possible to the corner, so that the
%canceling stamp will be less likely to
deface, and so, perhaps, to obscure the
address on the envelope.
"You should put it on square ar d
true because that is the methodicaI
and proper way to do. Many person 8
are disturbed by the appearance of a
stamp put on in a careless and slip
shod manner And [ can easily
imagine that such a practice might
work positive injury to you: You
might have occasion to write to a man
on a matter of business that wac of
Importance to you. You might COM
pose and write this letter with faith
full care and set forth what you had
to say with commendable clearness
and precision, and yet upset it all by

"Then I must see him, if he is

feel this, and they are publicly saying
it. They say big sinners are secure
in the church if they are only rich
enough. They say that mission
churches built for them are an insult
to them as long as rich churches draw
the line against the poor at their own
doors. This charge does not lie equal
ly against all churches, nor only
against very rich churches. The
same spirit may be in your church
and mine. If We by any means make
any distinctions among people and
make it more easy for some to worship
in our church than for others, if we
begin any process Of sitting out what
we are pleased to consider the better
class of people, We are guilty of deadly
sin against the very cross of Christ.
And if we make a church in which
Jesus, the carpenter, would not be
just as welcome as Christ the gloriGed,
He will repudiate US with wrathful
indignation, as He did the church Of

lots shall 60 into the kingdom of God

The Moons Influence on Hair.

The fat barber at the last chair adj
iusted the towels about the customer
neck, shipped a liberal bunch of hair
from the back of the customers head
and asked:
"Want a hair cut ?"
Being assured by the customer that
that wal his purpose in entering the
shop, the barber proceeded.
"Have you noticed the moon this
week ?"
"Not particularly" answered the
victim between his teeth.
"Well, you should always do that
when about to have your hair CUT
continued the barber, as he cut a long
gully in the growth of black hair.
1.-THE moon is now On the wane.
The man who persists in having his
hair cut while the noon is dying will
surely be bald-headed. The proper
time to get a hair cut is during the
period Of new moon or first quarter.
The hair grows as the moor grows.
"See me ?" and the barber ran his
fingers through a luxurious growth of
curly auburn tresses. Cali my broth
ers are. bald-headed. They had their
hair cut during the last quarters of
the moon. I had mine cut during the
first quarter"
The mar in the chair was getting
uneasy. He lifted his hand to his
head unconsciously and felt the spots
the clippers had passed over.
"By gracious, I'm getting bald al
ready Stop - he exclaimed.
"Too late, now," seriously answer
ed the barber as he shipped at a tough
bunch. II just tell you now so you
can govern your hair cutting here

Can't he Burnt.

A freproof man is Jacob Fl. Boyer,
of Phoeni1ville, Pa. He can step in
to a furnace where the temperature
is more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit
he can work there with little discom-
fort, though the heat singes his
whiskera and burns the soles of his
shoes. And yet this human salaman-
der willis under the first strong rays
from the sum-.
Boyer is a mason, employed by the
Phoenix Iron Works, and he draws a
big salary. His duty is to repair fur
naces when they are in use.
The capacity of a single furnace is
estimated at forty tons of best Phoenix
steel every twenty-four hours. The
ignots to be heated vary in size, the
largest being a foot in diameter and
eight feet long. These ingots are
heated for the rolls, and it occasional
ly. happens that an accident occurs to
the furnace while heated. To take
the heat out and cool the furnace would

convenience to the company. Right
here is where Boyer's wonderful abili-
ty to stand heat comes in handy.
He can repair the breakdown without
the loss of a moment. His thorough
familiarity with the details Of the fur
a c work and his freproof qualities
have made him one of the highest
salaried men in the employ of sthe
company.
Boyer's shoes have frequently been
scorched, and his whiskers and hair
have often been burned off to the
roots. Once he repaired a melting
furnace while il was so hot that the
tools he was using were bent double.
Several Of the fire bricks had fallen
out of place and Boyer used a long
iron handled instrument to put the
bricks in place. The job was accom-
plished only after the greatest diff
culty.-Neu York Journal.

wealth, and something that everyone
can attain. II believe" says Charles
Kingsley, "that a man might be as a
tailor, or as a carpenter, every inch Of
him a saint, a scholar and a gentle
man." A saint, a scholar and a gen.
tleman; these are the qualities that
constitute a true man, and every man,
whatever his station in life, can have
them. Jesus was as truly a saint, a
scholar and a gentleman while making
plows and ox-yokes as while preaching
the sermon on the mount. This is
the truth contained in much of the
teaching of such men as Ruskin and
Tolstoi, and it is truth that is much
needed in this day of vulgar wealth
and success. Instead Of keeping up
this everlasting cry about "getting
on in the world" and teaching it to
our children, let us know that most Of
US must stay where we are, a1d that
in the humblest station we can develop
the highest manhood, and may, every
one of US, he a saint, a scholar and a
gentleman.

church of to-day to Jesus, the Carpen-
ter? 1t is o literal, and would be a
lu%dicrous, were it not such a terrible
fact that If Jesus were to appear UNI
known in his carpenters clothes in
some churches bearing His name to-
day, He would be given the cold
shoulder, and might even be hustled
out. The church that was founded
by a carpenter whom the common peo-
pie heard gladly and whose gospel was
first preached by fishermen, that be-
gan by leveling all human distinctions
and gathering in the poor, has begun
the process of sitting out the better
classes and is in danger Of becoming
the exclusive possession and privilege
of the rich. Workipgmsn instinctly

Discomfort OF the People OF the Mis-

a cahlegram early in March for the state
department at Washington City. claim
fng that the vexatious custom house
methods would compel the American mer-
chants who had settled in that Spanish
colony TO abandon their trade. All tele-
grams dispatched from Manila are SUBJ
mitted to the authorities before being sent.
Gen. Blanco caused the American consuis
time TO consult both the local council.
the chief OF the custom house. The customs
officials naturally declared that the asser-

chants were false. and stated that ne had
applied only the regulations in force
against all exporters Of products from the
Philippine islands. In consequence Of this
inquiry. according 10 the Spanish officers
version, the American consul consented to
withdraw his cablegram, which the Span

how. Tho Spanish party In Manila wanted
to make anfi-American and patriotic de-

them and took energetic steps TO protect
