THE DISAPPEARING TRAY.

result OF Putting II Japanesc Metal
Ash Receiver Upon Hot stove.
Ii you ever use one of those little
fancy Japanese metal trays sold about
the streets for ash receivers, don't put
it on the stove, though that happens to
be handy place for circle of smok-
ers to reach. That was what the OBJ
servant Jerseyman did the other night
at his country home, says the New
York Sun.
lie and his sons were sitting about n
big stove on cold night, all smoking,
and for convenience he put the ash re-
ceiver on a sort of shelf at the back of
the stove against the smoke pipe. When
he went to bed he left the ash receiver
there. The following morning his wife
discovered it. 1t was perfect in ap-
pearance and form, and still held the
pile of ashes, burned match ends, and
cigar butts which had been deposited
in it the night before. She was about
to pick it up, when she bethought her
self that it might be hot. Taking some
thing, therefore, to push it with, she
attempted to slide it off upon plate.
The moment she touched it the ash
receiver lost its form, became liquid.
and ran off the stove upon the floor in
n shining stream of white metal. The
heat of the stove had been sufficient to
melt the pewter, of which it was COM
posed, and it had probably stood there
for hours, all in liquid form, except
the little crust of oxide and lacquer
upon its outer surface. This ernst had
been coherent enough to keep the tray
in form until touch broke it, and then
the whole had collapsed.

LIVING PROGENY OF FISH.

Vtviparous Pisces Recorded in the
Territory of Arizona.
A doubt that has troubled scientists
for years-whether there exists viyi-
parous kind of fish, one that gives birth
to its young in living state-was def
nite!y settled in the affirmative the
other day. when the city hall fountain
of the capital of Arizona territory was
cleaned out. In turning the water out
OF the big cement basin. where a gold.
fish variety of the carp family has long
disported itself for the ediication of
the Phoenix nurse girl and the Mari
copa county hobo, i; was found that
many of the fish had given birth to
progeny fully formed and ready to dart
in search of food nj the moment of com
ing into their watery world. Others
had given birth to tiny creatures that
were globular in shape, except for the
protruding eyes and IL nascent tail fin
that could scarcely be seen without a
strong glass From all the evidences.
It was clear that the cleanup had been
made during the breeding season, vet
there was no sign of fish roe or eggs.
Many specimens of the strange young
fish were collected, and will be shipped
to different experts, one lot going to the
Smithsonian institution.

Do Your Part.

A young girl was sorely tempted to
remain silent during a prayer meeting,
through fear that she might not say
just the right words; but she wished
to be faithful to her Savior and so
tremblingly repeated this verse, think
ing all the time that no once cared to
hear it, and that It would do no good:
Come unto Me all We that labor and
are heavy laden and will give you
rest"
Then a stranger arose and said, 81
did not expect to say anything, but
that passage comes like a key unlock
ing a great fund of thahkfulness in my
heart, and sets it yelling up so l am
obliged to speak. / am q sailor, here
only a few hours. Until three years
ago lived a hard, reckless life among
rough, wicked men. Then was brought
to a stopping place by our ship being
wrecked. It was a scene of terror, the
ship driving before the wind, beyond
all control. The waves like mountains
dashed over the decks, washing away
everything not firmly dashed, includ-
ing many of the passengers and crew.
"Clinging to the rigging was a lady
who through all this terrible expert
enee held her Bible. She could not
open it, but the sight of it quieted the
few of us who remained; and in every
lull she would sing, quote scripture
or pray. Over and over, her voice
rang out the invitation repeated by the
young sister, Come unto Me! and the
words reached my heart.
81 said, I would come if I knew
how and she answered, her voice
sounding above the wind, You dom
have to know how. Come as child a.
the call of its mother
came! 1 come! l shouted, and
others clinging there shouted also,
come! l come? All seemed to come tt
the light at once. Soon the wind wen
down and we were taken off the wrecl
by a passing vessel; but all unsaVe'
souls are in the condition Of peril W

"I1II RIak IT,

A devoted pastor-so the story is told
having concluded an earnest appeal
to the unsaVed of his congregation, APP
preached a bright and attractive girl
and pleaded with her tearfully to think
seriously of religion, reminding her
that life is short and delay dangerous.
But the words were vain. And as the
pastor turned away with heavy heart,
the girl hastily wrote in her song
book the words, "I'll risk it."
The days passed, and weeks length
ened into months. But one day the pas
tor was summoned in haste to minis
ter what comfort he could to this same
girl who with scarcely moments
warning had been stricken low and
now fingered at deaths door with no
ray of hope.
Again the pastor pleaded for a
changed heart, but with look of des-
pair in her eyes the dying girl replied:
at cannot be, my heart is cold, dead.
When you spoke to me months ago
was moved, but l stifled the nobler i'm
pulse, and as you left, wrote in book
the words, I'll risk it. And the Spirit
lett me-" And so ere long she passed
into the world OF the great unknown
"lll risk it." What ominous words
Fraught with what awful import! How
many have uttered or thought them tc
their eternal cost!

Look at Home.

A college professor, who prided him
self on his correct English, heard his
wife remark: 81 intended to tell Jane
to bring a fresh bucket of water"
"You doubtless mean a bucket Of
fresh water" corrected the professor.
81 wish you would pay some little at
tention to your rhetoric. Your mis-
takes are curious"
A few moments later the professor
said: my dear, that picture would
show to better advantage II you were
to hang it over the clock"
"Ah," she replied, quietly, "yOu
doubtless mean If were to hang II
above the clock. If were to hang IT
over the clock, we could not tell the
time. 1 wish you would be more care
full with your rhetoric, my dear. Your
mistakes are curious" And the pro-
lessor all at once became very inter
ested in his books.

Remembered for What He Had Done.
A poor victim of intemperance in
his last moments was visited by a
neighbor Of his who had furnished him
the rum which brought him to ruin
and a drunksFd's grave, who asked
him whether he remembered him. The
dying man, forgetting his struggle
with the king of terrors, said: Eyes, /
remember you, and remember your
store, where formed the habit which
has ruined me for this world and the
next. And when am dead and gone,
and my creditors come and take from
my widow and fatherless children the
shattered remains Of my property to
pay my drink debts, they, too, will re-
member you" And he added, as they
both attended the same church: Eyes
brother, we shall all remember you, tc
all eternity"

A road for hauling purposes must be
judged by its worst spot

Some idea of the attention that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is now
paying to its passenger traffic may be
gained from the fact that during the
past eighteen months nearly 800 pas
senger cars received thorough and or
binary repairs, 696 being reprinted.
Nearly all of the equipment is now
royal blue and most of it is equipped
with Pintsch gas, the Pintsch light
being used on local as well as through
trains.

When Papa Was q Little Boy.
when papa was a little boy
You really couldn't find
In all the State Of Washington
A child SO quick to mind.
Els mother never called but once
And pa was always there;
HE never slid down banisters,
or made the slightest noise;
And never in his life was known
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard at school,
And got his lessons right;
And chopping wood, and milking COWS
Were papa's chief delight
He always rose at six O'Clock,
And went to bed at eight,
ana never lay abed till noon,
And never sat up late,
He finished Latin, French and Greek
Wnen ne was ten years old,
And know the Spanish alphabet
AS soon as he was told.
HE never grumbled when he had
To DO the evening chores,
And ne'er in all his life forgot
To shut the stable doors.
He never, never thought of play
Until his work was done,
He labored hard from break Of day
Until the set of sun.
He never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the parlor floor,
And never answered back his ma,
And never banged the door.
But truly could never see"
Said little Dick Malloy,
How he could never do these things
And really be a boy"
