ONLY ONE COULD Do TT.

Conscious guilt does much toward
unconscious confession. A good story
is told IN the Christian Advocate, which
illustrates this:
"Last Sunday" said the clergyman
to his congregation, ssome one put a
button in the collection bag. I won't
m ention names. I will merely say
that only one individual in the con-
gr egation could have done SO, and I
will expect the same member after
service to replace the button with
coin of the realm.''
After church ell-to do but close
listed individual sought an interview
with the clergyman in the vestry.
Ter" he began, hesitatingly,
Unjust apologize for e-er-button
incident, which can assure you was
an accident. 7 happened to have the
button in my waistcoat pocket, to-
gether with shilling, and took out
the former by mistake. However, sir,
here is the shilling"
THANK YOU" said the clergyman,
taking the shilling and gravely hand
ing him the button.
By the by, sir" said tie man, 81
cannot understand how you should
have known that it was 1 who-er-
committed the-er much to be regret
ted mistake"
81 didn't know" replied the clergy
man.
"Didn't know! But you said, sir,
that only one individual in the con-
gregation could have done so.''
s'Just SO. You see, sir, it is scarcely
possible that two individuals could
have put one button in the bag, is it
now?" said the clergyman with
bland smile.

FLOUR AND GRAIN.

The prices quoted yesterday for the
choice brands of spring wheat patent
flour were just $1.05 per barrel higher
than they were one week previous, and
in general trade brands there has been
an advance of from 81 to S1.50. These
are the advances quoted by the mills
Jobbers and all other sellers are inclined
to ask about much of an advance
though of course there is flour on the
market, bought before the full advance
had been quoted, on which a big profit
could be made at prices under the pres
ent market value.
The market for corn has ruled firm
for a week past III sympathy with
wheat.
The market for oats is firm, but has
shown less excitement than other
grains.

Pretty Ottomans.

A couple of pretty ottoman seats
which may be made appropriate for any
room, according to the character of
their covering, are easily manufactured
by saving off a small barrel or keg to
about foot in depth To the closed

which are then covered and fastened
with a circular piece of sailcloth,
firmly nailed to the wooden sides,

An Unhealthy Mattress.

Cotton is not good for mattress. It
is so much of a nonconductor that it
grows hot under the body and some
times gets damp and musty and of
course unhealthy. Cotton packs together
too closely. 1t is not as good either for
covering, as generally used in thick
comforters, as blankets. Cotton batting
after a little use gets SO matted that it
is almost impervious to air. -Pittsburg
