Lorenzo Dow's WoOing.

Numberless anecdotes are related of
the eccentricities and characteristic
acts Of the Rev. Lorenzo Dow, the IA
nous itinerant Methodist preacher.
Mr.. Collins relates that when he was a
widower he said to the congregation
one day at the close of his sermon:
Il am candidate for matrimony.
and if there is any woman in this audi.
ence who is willing to marry me L
would thank her to rise"
A woman rose very near the pulpit,
and another in a distant part of the
house. Mr.. Dow paused moment,
then said: There are two; think this
one near me rose first; at any rate, 1
will have her for my wife"
The woman was in good standing and
possessed of considerable property.
Very soon after this eccentric wOoing
she became Mrs. Dow.-Youth's Com

source from which the unearthly sound
proceeded.

hastily made its escape. The captured
turtle, the oldest and largest ever seen

great fervOr and earnestness. His ex-
haustive labors are thought to have led
directly to his death.
Henry George was born in Philadelphia
on Sept 2, 1889, and as hoy went to
California. He drifted into journalism
in San Francisco and attained some celeb
rity as writer on political theories. In
1873 he published Progress and Poverty,
which acquired worldwide reputation.
In it he gave the result of his investiga-
tions among the poor of the great cities
and his theories for reform. About the
same time he first expressed his plan Of
taxing property on single value-that is,
taxing the land itself and not the I'M
provements thereon. This was the origin
of the single tax doctrine.
In 1880 he removed to New York. The
following year he published volume on
Ireland and England. His publications
of various theories on political economy
made him one of the best known men in
the country. In 1886 he was the candi-
date of the laboring element for Mayor
of New York, but was defeated by Abram
S. Hewitt by $4,000 votes. He led Theo-
dOre Roosevelt, the Republican nominee,
by 5000 votes. Ever since then Mr..
George has been more or less identified
with political movements.

To ascertain the freshness of an egg,
without breaking, hold it before a

the shell. l. the yolk appears round
and the white surrounding it clear,
the chances are that the egg is fresh.
Or you may drop it into water: if the
egg sinks quickly an remains at the

and quite bad if it floats The shell Of
fresh egg looks dull, while that of a
