a Wise Old GobbIer.

A farmer living in Hartford county
has for many years very often invited
the preachers Of n Sunday to take din
ner with him, and, of course, us all
preachers are very fond OF fowls, his
wife would have some killed and pre-
DnFcu for dinner. And, strange To say,
but nevertheless true. all his old gob-
blers and roosters by some means
could tell preacher by his looks. and
just as soon as preacher drove up to
the house the old gobblcrs and r0osters
would call all their families to hide ur-
der the big barn and stay there until
the preachers Left. But upon one oc-
casion two preachers drove up, and no
turkeys or chickens could he found
anywhere. But after dinner one Of the
preachers left and the old rooster came
out and Topped his wings and told his
family that the preachers were gone,
but the old gobbler was not satisfied
and pOlied his head out and said.
Doubtful. doubtful doubtful"
That was the first time that l ever
knew that any Of the dumb creation
could count. rs the old gobblcr was
certain that two preachers had driven
to the housc.-FOrest and Stream.

Lavvs Against Begsars.

Begging was q capital offense in
England in the days of Henry VIII,
when the laws were very severe
against beggars, and. under statute
passed in that reign, any one caught
begging for the first time, being nei-
ther aged nor infirm, was whipped at
the carts tail. If caught q second
time, his ear was slit or bored through
with a hot iron. If caught a third
time, he suffered death rs felon, un-
less some honest person having f1O in
goods or 40 shillings In land or some
householder approved by the justices
would take the offender into his sery-
ice for two years, entering into bond
Of f10. So the law Of England remain
ed for Go years. First enacted by Hen
ry VIII. it continued unrcpealed
through the reigns of Edward and
Mary. Reconsldcrcd under Elizabeth,
the same law was again formally pnss-
ed, the two legislative houses thereby
expressing their conviction that it was
better for man not to live at all than
to live the life of.a beggar.

Oaa Bsetaoas ~ wasas.z.

The hardest worked washerwomen in
the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about { zen dresses for their
husbands, and inasmuch as every man
wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy
that they come up to his neck like
those OF a clown. they have plenty to
do. The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like q shirt
front fresh from q Chinese laundry.
The Chinese rip their garments apart
for every washing, and they iron their
clothes by spreading them on q fiat
board and leaning this nip against the
house to dry. The sun takes the wrin-
kles out Of dry clothes, and some OF
them have quite q luster.
The Japanese woman does her wash
ing out Of doors. Her washtub is not
more than six inches high and is about
as big around rs the average dishpan.
She sometimes uses Japanese soap.
which is full Of grease, and works
away with her bare feet. The Chinese
girls do their washing in much the
same way.-Kansas City Journal.

An Age or Falsehood.

ATLANTA, Ca, July Bishop
Morrison spoke from tho pulpit of the
First Methodist church to-day to the
Frecmasons of Atlanta. In the course
of his sermon the bishop said "It
has seemed to me Of late that the pres
cnt is all age Of insincerity, an age of
falschood and the status of society
and of our business life will bear me
out. Thousands Of men will not tell
the truth unless they know they can
make something by it. The mora! de-.
cay of the present age is due to this
disregard for truth. Lies are put up
in packages, sent out in barrels and
hung on hooks. Men are justifying
themselves with the fact that their
acts are common.
That embalmed beef sent to Cuba
is no worse than we get to-day. be-
lievc that the large death list in this
country which is daily growing great
er, is due directly to the dishonest
adultcrations Of the food which goes
in the homes Of our country. The
whole commercial world is honeycomb-
ed with untruthfulness, and the inor-
dinate love OF money which has taken
hold Of our people is at the bottom
of it.
"There arc men in Atlanta to-day
who have been running to money so
long that while their wealth is FIVE
times as great as formerly their repu-
tation and their influence for good in
the community is more than five times
as small as il was before"

Unreliable.

The author Of Little Journeys to
the Homes Of American Statesmen"
tells story Of the Civil war, when
the days dragged gloomily in anticipa
tion of ncws from the front and when
grief was likely to overtakc any who
had boys in the ranks. lie says:
One night the postmaster was read
ing aloud the names Of the killed at
Gettysburg, and he ran down to the
name of youth he knew. The boys
father sat there ON nail kcg, chew

sake. tried to shuttle over the name
and hurry to the next.

There was nothing to do but face
the issue, and the postmaster repeated
with n forced calmness
"Killed-Snyder, Hiram.
The boys father stood up with a
jerk. Then he sat down. Then he
stood up again, staggered to the door
and fumbled for the latch like blind
man.

The minister preached funeral SER
mon for the boy, and on the little
pyramid that marked the family lot in
the burying ground they carved the
inscription:

Not long afterward strange, yellow
bearded men in faded blue began to
arrive. Great welcomes were given
them, and many big gathering was
held i'll their honor. At one such
gathering ghost appcarcd-a lank,
saffron ghost, ragged as scarecrow,
wearing the cape Of cavalryman' s
overcoat, with no coat beneath.

minister remark in solemn and ag-
gricvcd tone:
Hiram Snyder is a man who can
not be relied upon.

where tho Compass Came Fro


The earliest references to the use of
the mariners compass are to be found
In Chinese history, from which we
learn how in the sixty-fourth year of
the reign OF Hoaug-ti (2634 B. CO. the
emperor attacked Tchi-yeon OH the
plains Of Tchou-lou and, finding his
army embarrassed by thick fog
raised hy the enemy, constructed an
instrument fcr Indicating the south, So
as to distinguish the four cardinal
points. and was thus enabled to pursue
his adversary and capture him.
The power OF the loadstone to com
municate polarity to iron is said to be
for the first time explicitly mentioned
In Chinese dictionary, finished in A.
d. 121, where the loadstone ia defined
as "a stone with which an attraction
can be given to the needle"
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated rs far as India by the aid OF

An Artlncia1 silver n1ine.

In one corner Of the melting room at
the New Orleans mint Is e large iron
tank In which the newly cGst silver
bars are dropped, kissing, to cool of.
At the end Of q hard days work the
surface Of the water shows a faint
rainbow hued scum, like the metallic
iuster Of stagnant pools, seen near a
dyehouse. 1t comes in part from mi
croscopic fakes Of silver that have
scaled of In the cooling. The water,
when changed, runs down pipe that
terminates In the bottom Of cistern,
which contains o layer Of mud a couple
or feet deep. AS the water seeps up
and through, the mud acts as n filter
and catches the particles of precious
silver metal, SO in time it becomes an
artificial silver mine. Once every quar-
ter the stuff is scooped out and passed
through a reduction process. The re-
suit is a silver brick, worth maybe $50.

his physician, DR.. NJ Smith Of Pearl

Carolina in the hope that the dry air
and mild temperature might restore him
to his wonted vigor but he gradually
failed and grew weaker, and returned
home last August. For the past two
months he had been confined to his bed,
and although he suffered constantly, yet
he bore his pain with Christian courage
and fortitude, and said toward the last
that he was going home to Jesus.
The deceased was member OF ST.
Pauls church and also member of the

and three months. During his compar-
