A Church Story.

Not very many years ago, In country
church in the west of England, the rector,
preaching with great earnestness for home
missions, took for his text, Feed me with
food convenient for me-" AS he came
down from the pulpit, well content with
the effect his eloquence had produced on
the congregation, the disturbing thought
struck him that he had made no arrange
ment for the collection (sure to be liberal
one on this occasion) AS he passed through
the chanccl he whispered hurriedly to an
intelligent choirboy, $50 into the vestry,
take the plate you will find on the table,
hand it round to the congregation, and
then bring it to me-" The boy departed
on his GRAND, and the rector took his place
within the communion rails and gave out
the offertory hymn.
The last words of this had scarcely died
away when the boy stood before him, a
plate of biscuits in his hand and an apol-
ogetic expression on his chubby face
please, sir, he explained in an audible
voice, GIVE handed them all round to ev-
erybody, and nobody won't take noner'-

A Pair of COddlers.

A man with curious fondness for
skullcaps was the Able de ST. Martin,
who in the seventeenth century made him
self ridiculous by his vagaries. He always
wore nine of these articles to keep off the
cold, and, Furthermore, nine pairs of stock
ings. His mode of passing the night was
more remarkable still. He caused to be
constructed for himself bed of ricks, be-
meath which was a furnace, so arranged
that he could regulate 1t to the degree of
warmth he might require, and his bed was
fitted with only very small opening,
through which the able used to creep when
he retired to rest at night.
Even more ludicrous was the contriv-
ance which the great French mathemati-
clan, Fourier, designed and used for the
protection of his health. He incased him.
self in species of box, the interior of
which, by some mechanical means, was
kept at the only temperature at which he
felt he could live without Inconvenience.
While enveloped i'm this clumsy affair he
was necessarily confined to one spot, but
he provided means for the freedom of his
head and hands. Even the ills of asthma
and rheumatism, one would have thought,
were preferable TO existence under such
circumstances as this. But the French
mathematician, we must believe, was OF a
different opinion. London Standard.

A Novel international Luncheon.

For an international luncheon the name
cards might be adorned with map
sketched with pen and ink, and also by n
drawing of the national flower of the coun-
try represented. If one is so fortunate as
to be able to use water colors, the cards
can be made most attractive. Each card
should contain some question which the
one at whose plate it is will read and an
swer, or If unable to answer, will present
to the company for general discussion.
For example, under the map of Venezuela
may he written, when and how did Eng
land first acquire territory here?" and on
the map of France the question, why did
Napoleon antedate the actual time of his
birthy' Questions in regard to the people,
flora or fauna of a country may be pro-
pounded If desired, and the clever hostess
will see that the cards are distributed so
that the knowledge and talents Of each of
her guests may lie shown to the greatest
advantage. The idea can be developed
still further by having foods from the
various countries represented, for instance,
French peas, ""Cuban sugar, spanish
olives and "Swiss cheese. Ladies'

Gold Beating.

The process of preparing gold until it Is
reduced to thickness of 1880, 900 of an
inch is necessarily elaborate. The gold Is
first cast into ingots inches in length and
| inch i'm width, which weigh from 10 to IL
ounces, according to thickness. 1t Is then
passed between polished rollers, worked
by steam, until it forms a ribbon 2S yards
long and 800 inch thick. These ribbons
are then cut into $50 pieces, an inch square,
and placed between vellum. and then the
real business of the gold beater is begun.
He beats for half an hour with n 20 pound
hammer, making the inch square into
inches square. Then these pieces are quar-
tered, becoming 4 inches square. He
beats again for u hours, until the IA
inch square becomes inches square. The
inch pieces are again quartered and beat
en- and finally cut to proper size-viz.,
squares of 3-s inches, of thickness Tor
rather "thinness") of $3.50, 900 of an inch,
and in this shape the leaf is lifted into
books of tissue paper. New York Sun.

MORAvlAN VIEW OF DEATH.
A Beautiful and Impressive Custom of the
MOravians.

Clifford Howard contributes to The La
dies Home journal an interesting article
upon the Moravians of Bethlehem, Pa,
and their religious customs
"Upon the death of one of the congrega-
ton he writes, "the event is announced,
not by the monotonous, mournful tolliDg
of the bell, but by the deep breathing
melodious music of trombones, played in
the open belfry steeple of the church by
the trombone choir, and as the deep, sweet
notes of the familiar hymn are borne to
the people below they reverently drop their
work to listen. Hark!' they whisper, the
horns are blowing. Some one has gone
homel Gone home!'-perhaps nothing
more beautifully exemplifics the perfect,
unquestioning faith of these devout people
than that expressive utterance, the SINGER
ity of which is ever demonstrated by the
lack of mourning at the passing away of n
member of the household, however dearly
beloved. So true and heartfelt is the Mo-
ravian belief that death is but the entrance
to brighter, happier home The from
bones are also used at the touching funeral
services held at the grave, and amid their
sad yet inspiring strains the departed one
Is laid to his eternal rest On all occasions,
whether of death or joy, the trombones
lend their sweet solemnity In fitting
breath. From the steeple they herald the
festival day of each of the choirs and in
all open air services their riellifuous tones
are ever present.

At the Portals of the Unknown.

On one occasion only has any really scri-
Gus attempt been made TO explore and in
vestigate the regions situated To the south
of tho Antarctic circle, and that attempt,
incredible as 1t may appear, was made
more than 30 years ago.
Nothing of importance has been under
taken since Even the portals of this un-
known area can hardly be said TO have
been approached during that time. Half
century is u long period especially in
this enterprising and adventurous age,
when the ever restless and enthusiastic
energies of the pioneers of civilization are
leaving their indelible footprints over por-
tions of the globe that 80 years ago were
deemed almost inaccessible, for one par
ticular part of the world to remain wrapped
in the same impenetrable darkness that
has surrounded it from time immemorial
Now however, the time has arrived
when the question of polar research in
both hemispheres should be equally con-
sidered. There Is still much to he done in
the north, and so long as gallant explorers,
like Nansen, jackson and Peary continue
to devote their energies in that direction,
we shall not rest satisfied until the entire
area of nearly a million and half square
miles has been faithfully delineated on
our maps. But it is an indisputable fact
that there is much more than this to be
done in the south, for there is more than
seven times that extent of undiscovered
area to be explored, and although the Ant.
arctic circle has been pierced in two or
three places, our geographical knowledge
of that region is not only extremely linn
tied, but may be regarded as purely con
jectural In the Antarctic we have abso
lutely everything to learn.-Admiral A.
