Lady Pendulum.

From the New York Tribune comes
a story, which Mr.. Moody recently
told. illustrative of the fact that to the
power of single hearted perseverance
there is no known limit:
When / was in London some years
ago, saw lady in my audience who
could not walk and had q chair on
wheels in which she was brought into
church. The look of disgust on her face
and the attention she attracted in being
brought into the meetings made me
take notice Of her spoke to her one
day, and she said:
"Mr. Moody, when this excitement is
over and you have gone back to Amer
lea the people will go back to their old
ways. They won't keep on. They can't
do il.
talked with her for some time, but
she stuck to her point. A day or two
afterward / told the fable OF the clock
The pendulum counted how many times
it would have to tick before it was
worn out, and it was so appalled, at the
number that it wanted to give up right
there, saying, 81 never can do it. "
But" said one Sf the other parts of
the clock, 1T is only tick at time. "
"That is just what some of you are
doing" said, Saying that after Mr..
Moody goes back to America the excite
ment will die out. We will not keep it
up We can't get grace enough to do
so.' Get grace enough to live tick at
time, step at time" said /.
That woman went home and bought
a clock with a pendulum and put il
where she could see it. She preached SO
much about "a tick at a time" that her
friends called her Lady Pendulum.
The day before returning to America
I received package from her. In it
was clock, and the letter with it said
"Please put this clock in your room,
and when you look at it remember that
Lady Pendulum is still living tick al
q time

Tho Word "Toast."

The word toast" used for describ-
ing the proposal Of health in an after
dinner speech, dates back to medieval
times, when the loving cup was still re-
garded as an indispensable feature Of
every banquet. The cup would be filled
to the brim with wine or mead, in the
center of which would he floating a
piece Of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cup
to the guest Of honor seated ON his right
hand, and the latter would in turn pass
It to his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table, each one present taking a
sip, until finally the cup would come
back to the host, who would drain what
remained and swallow the piece OF toast
In honor Of all the friends assembled at
his table.

Glued Seams.

A correspondent who signs himself
V. c., evidently meaning Victoria
Cross, sends the following Renaissance
to the London Telegraph: Your &C
count of the tailor who has invented
gummed seams for sewed ones reminds
me of the experience of a gallant French
officer who was friend of mine, then
q young man, in the Crimea-General
Pelissier. He was rather careless about
his dress except when in uniform, and
one day he surprised all his friends by
appearing in magnificent shepherd
tartan suit. They were all enyious of

The Profits of Monte Carlo.

The merchant whose losses are the re-
suit Of untoward and unforeseen changes
in the market receives sympathy and
help, but what bank or private friend
will advance money to a gambler? The
betting man who has staked his last
shilling and lost it is pronounced a fool
and has put himself beyond the reach
Of practical compassion. The sharper
who has fleeced him has neither graft
tude nor pity. He uses his victim as the
butt of his ridicule. And the victim
himself, who has risked his money on
mere chance, or on baseless information,
or on fraudulent representations, freely
pronounces himself a fool, Judging him
self in the light Of the issue. To fancy
that we shall be exceptions and win
where others have lost, that we shall be
the solitary lucky ones among the thou
sands unlucky, is folly to which we
are all liable, but it is none the less a
folly.
1t is stated that the winnings of the
table or bank at Monte Carlo last year
amounted to $500, 000-that is to say,
this was the net sum lost by those who
played. Yet each gambler who stakes
his little pile fancies he will be the one
to win. There are some thousands Of
bookmakers in our own country. Out OF
whose pockets do they pick so comfort
able a living? Out Of the pockets Of
their dupes, whs SO bountifully contrib
ute to the maintenance of their worst
enemies. Good Words.

TUESDAYS CONGRESS.

The National Defense Bill Stjrs Up the Pa
triOtic Feelings of the Nations Law
makers
WASHINGTON, March S.-The senate
to-day considered the District of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill. A meeting
Of the senate committee on appropria-
tions made it clear that the Cannon
$50, 600, 900 national defense bill will
be reported promptly and probably
unanimously.
Public interest in the debate on the
bill appropriating $50, 900, 900 for the
national defense was reflected in a
large attendance in the galleries of
the house to-day. On the floor almost t
every member was ia his seat.
On the faces of the leaders on
both sides sat an air of stern
resolution, indicating their deep APP
probation of the grim business upon
which congress and the country were
entering in making this vast appro-
priation for possible war As soon as
the journal had been read the speaker
raped for order and amid a deep
oAACASC Nlldll man NdnnOn ulOoC anu
presented as deficiency bill the
measure appropriating $50, 900, 900 for
the national defense. 1t includes also
several other items among which are
100000 for coal for naval vessels.
When the reading of the bill was con-
cluded with the item of $50, 900, 900 for
the national defense spontaneous
outburst of applause went up from the
members and the galleries. All the
speeches on the bill breathed patriotic
fervor and many were truly eloquent.
Mr.. Cannon said that at the request of
many members he would ask for roll
call so that every member could go on
record.
The bill was passed by a unanimous
vote, 81 being cast for it, 1t was car
ried immediately to the senate

WASHINGTON, March SIN view of
the possibility of war between the
United States and Spain, there has
been a great deal of speculation in
Washington as to the attitude likely
to be assumed by other European
powers, and especially by Great
Britain. There has been no idea that
Great Britain would be actively drawn
into such a war in any way, and it is
now generally believed that the United
States would have her moral support
and sympathy.

The Bulletin ReEar'''ng the Results of Ex-
periments Will soon BE Issued
WASHINGTON, March S.--Mr. C. c.
Bell, of Boonville, Mo-, had a confer
ence with Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson yesterday, at which the details
of sugar beet planting in Missouri this
year were arranged. Secretary Wilson
informed Mr.. Bell that the bulletin to
be issued by the department giving
the result of all the experiments made
in beet culture last year would be out
in short time, and that copies would
be furnished Mr.. Bell for distribution
among all the farmers of Missouri who
had made use of the beet seeds fur
nished by the department There
were about 5000 farmers who expert
mented with the beet last year Seeds
were sent to such large number,
more for the purpose of advertising
beet culture than from the idea
that satisfactory result, woul be OBJ
tanned. The Missouri farmers are now
thoroughly informed upon the su bject,
and during the coming year will be
prepared to conduct the experiments
in scientific manner. At the confer
ence between Secretary Wilson and
Mr. Bell it was decided that the sugar
seed would not be sent to so many
farmers, but the quantity given those
who would promise to live up to all
the conditions imposed by the depart.
ment would be larger than last year.
All those farmers in Missouri who are
willing to undertake the experiment
on these conditions should write to Mr..
