The bald headed man, in the family pew.
Leaned back on the cushions and slumbered
He dreamed that the preacher these words
had proclaimed
"The hairs of your head are ali numbered"
The bald.hcaded man awoke with start
From his weakly devotional slumbers,
Then down on his knees he ferventy prayed:
20 Lord, send me down the back numbers!"

Wise Words.

Joking sometimes loses a friend, and ncv-
er gains an enemy.
They that know no evil will suspect none.
The retrospect of life swarms with lost
opportunities.
The first step of knowledge is to know
that we are ignorant.
No communicate ms can exhaust genius;
no gifts impoverish charity.
Neither borrower nor a lender be; for
loan oft loseth both itself and friend
The most utterly lost of all days, is that N
which you have not once laughed.
The way to procure insults is no, to sub
nit them-a man meets with no more re.
spect than he cXacts.
The best portion of good mans lite IS his
little, nameless, aforementioned acts of kind
ness and Of love.
The darkest hour in the history of any
young man is when he sits down to study
how to get money without honestly earning
it.
Whatever there is of greatness in the
United States, or indeed in any other coun.
try, is due to labor. The laborlr is the
author of all greatness and wealth. With.
ont labor there would he no government
and no leading class, and nothing TO pre-
serve.

TurLsy-How the Native AmsrlrR,
Foul Lost his Freedom.
The turkey as we know him, he who
,ust al this season of the year is much
discussed and sought after, has been az
inhabltant of the face of the earth foi
st least four centuries, His first home
was in the New W%orld-South America
Mexico, United States and Canada
Here he enjoyed u natural free life and
RlorIed In all his wildness, a thing that
he has never been able to do complete
" since the Conquest. He was troubled
Nv no reforms OF any kind, No new d.
citing fads were tried on him and he
managed to grow fat and numerous
without the aid OF incubators, Those
we're his ha'cyon days. Then all was
changed. He was discovered,
In the sixteenth century the Span
,ards found him In Mexico, and seeing
what good Christmas dinners he made
took him hack with tnem to the old
country, where he has furnished sump-
tuous lepasts ever since. This was his
6rst trip to Europe, and he must have
liked It there, for he afterwards took
English names for both of the hest yari-
cites Of his kind. This was how II hap
pened.
shores for n good spot to plant a colony
and for trophies OF the glorious New
World to take back to England, heard
the sturdy note-call, turk, turk" and
forthwith made up q large part OF his
ships cargo OF turkeys. Thus he was
named, and not from any relation to the
Ottoman empire
once in England, Il turkey became
entirely domesticated, and now shows
two very fine breeds, the Norfolk and
the Cambridgeshlre. The former, the
taller OF the two, Is almost entirely
black. The CambridgeshiFe, while gen.
orally bronze In hue, is sometimes
slightly v%ariegated. Occasionally the
cocks grow top-knots.
Having obtained this start In life
(irom the Spaniards and John Cabot
the turkey availed himself OF all his
opportunities for travel and self.cul-
ture. He journeyed to all points OF the
compass, and to-day a be found
throughout the civilized portions OF
three continents-North and south
America and Europe. Thus he is
known over hah the world.
All this has made q great change In
his mode OF living. He no longer roosts
on high tree tops nor seeks his food at
wide range through the forest, but oc-
cuples a eleVeriy constructed coop and
studies character and gossips in the
chicken yard. II he is neither OF the
Norfolk nor Cambrldgeshire family he
dresses in dull brown or fawn.
Even though his life may appear easy
and luxurious. II Is always one of great
sacrifice. He gave up his picturesque
ways and Independence to profit man
kind. and gives up his life every day
for their use.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN wRECKING.

der Il Train.

Kingston, jamaica, Feb. . The presi-
dent of the American corporation con
trolling the jamaica railway arrived
here on Thursday evening from New
York. Whether this has anything to do
with what happened on saturday is not
known. H. is, however, Il fact, that on
Friday afternoon several local newSpa
per, received an announcement written
in red ink, aud apparently with some
blunt instrument, AS IL whitfield stick.
that it was the writer's Intention to de
stroy the railway. This was regarded rs
Il Joke and was passed unnoticed; but on
Saturday morning such IN attempt was
actually made.
AS the passenger train from Kingston
arrived ut IL point couple of miles from
the station it came to II sudden halt and II
slight Jar was felt. On inquiry being
made the driver declared that someone
had "fired off gum under the engine as
it passed. but no person or gun conld be
found. and so the train proceeded,
although the entire crew coEcurred that
there had been some sort of an explosion
under the engine, and everyone on the
train felt the jar.
Later linerlan discovered some odd
looking thin"s along the track in the
same track, and reported the matter to
the station. An inspector of police and II
railway engineer went out on II trolley 20
investigate and found what they in part
expected that they would find, the rem
nnnts of an Internal machine, but they
also found something else, n similar ma
chine in the act. The appearances in
dicted that the two explosive bombs,
diabolically conceived, but poorly con
trived, had been placed on the track for
the morning passenger train. One had
exploded, but with little or no result,
whilst the other had been hurled off the
track by the force of the explosion and its
fuse extinguished. They were not con-
trived to 20 of OH contact, but had been
lighted and placed on the track US the
train was approached. One acted as to
time, and the other possibly ignitcd the
moment its mate was blown away
What was found OF the exploded bomb
was three torn and rent milk cans and
traces of gunpowder. The other was con
strrctcd on similar lines and was filled
with giant powder The whole was well
packed in II box of earth, the size of !;
large cigar box. The police are invcsti'
eating the matter.
