London boy messenger. As we stand
below the tube we can hear the whiz
of the ''chase" distinctly. There It
goes ut lightning speed, bearing, most
probably, some tender message from

These are the telegraph and telephone

Surprising Facts About Cattle.

In the year 1910 the weight Of fat cattle
in the London market averaged only SO
pounds. This, too. at the average age of
years, prior to which time they were not
considered as being marketable In 1875
this average weight has increased to nearly
482 pounds In 1880, 1O5 years later, tho
average weight Of cattle sold on the Lon
don market was $50, almost twice what it
was in 1910 and at that time the averag &c
age at which such beasts were sold was
only 4 years, as against 8 years at the
earlier date.
We have no statistics which show exactly
the average weight Of the fat cattss CT 10
day, but believe that we are not far from
the truth when we say that it is at least
twice what it was in $50 and upward Of
fear times greater than it was in I71O.-

NO EAR FOR MUSIC.

Whistles 1t His Work.

An@ Gym1C and the Nan Who sings OF
Whistles At His Work.
''Give me the man who sings at his
work, - says some one. Well you may
have him. Take him and all his tribe;
the man who sings, and the man who
whistles, and the man who drums; the
man who gives you last nights opera in
what he supposes is fine voice, and the
man who thinks he can whistle tho air no
heard last week at Duhy's theater. You
can have them all
don t know exactly what you want to
DO with them. Perhaps you want to hang
them, or dispose Of them in some dark,
dreadful manner and sell their bodies TO
some medical school. But I don't care
what you DO with them either. I hope I
have q heart in my body, and so all I ask
is that you won't roast them alive For
the rest, please put them where they viii

had a fellow bookkeeper who used to
sing at his work-that is, he thought he
sang. When he began, I would usually be
in the midst Of a column of figures, fight
ing my way to the top as hard as I could
Then he'd begin to sing. And that whole
addition would be wrong, and I would
have the pleasure of doing the thing over
again. I appreciated that fellow song, I
did
Another of the clerks thought he could
whistle. He used to preach to US about
being cheerful in the midst Of depressing
circumstances, and then he would proceed
to depress them, so that we could put his
advice into practice. He disappeared in
some mysterious way. I didn't do it.
AS for the drummer, just let me tell you
about him First he'd represent a body
Of troops a long distance of, and then how
they'd approach nearer and nearer, and
how the drum beats would grow louder
and louder. Then the soldiers would be
just around the corner, and then they'd be
right in front of the door. Then they'd
take themselves off in the same way.
Gradually the drum beats would die away
in the distance. This, OF course, happened
when the boss was out. The boss had no
ear for music.
Well, all those people came to bad ends.
They died I know who did it. but I'm
not going to tell. I'm only telling this
story to warn others like them, that they
may take heed in good time, and not sing
or whistle, DO matter how we'll they think
they can do it. They should remember
that the man is around who once said,

Cleveland. May 12.-Rev. Mr. Ouayle
Of Kansas spoke out in meeting this
morning.
The NJ. E. conference today got into
q snarl in which the Local morning
newspapers were attacked and the
meeting Of the committee on state of
the church held yesterday afternoon
came out prominently. In that meet
ing Rev. DR.. Quayle in the course Of
his remarks about the Christian En-
deavorers in their attempt to secure a
recognition Of the deity in the COM
mittee used the language which ap-
peared in the morning papers which is
as follows mot long ago that or
ganization not only made itself ride
ulous and all the churches which it
represent, but actually made the re-
ligion Of Christ ridiculous by praying
for the redemption OF Bob 1ngersOll.

church would ever be guilty of such
an act of absolute idiocy.' Cries of

the remark, rose. He is a youthful

of the case was hOwled down.
Every denial of the article called out
