II Amazod the CubauA.

"I was on the detail for street
cleaning in Santiago" said the vol
unteer sergeant, "and / had four carts
and lot of Cubans under me in my
district. All they had to do was to
rake the refuse into heaps and load
the carts, and that seems simple
enough for a born idiot. The way
they went to work knocked me out.
Instead of driving the cart from heap
to heap they shoveled the heaps
along for half mile until they had
reached the cart. / let each gang do
this way once, and then made the cart
drive from heap to heap, and showed
them that they had wasted four-fifths
OF their time. When they understood
they stared in open-mouthed admira-
tion and exclaimed: "Ah such peo-
ple--such Americanos! It is no
wonder that Cuba is to be free!"

New York Journal: In the rear Of
a quaint farmhouse in Crawford. N. j..
where Mr.. Sylvester resides, daily
scene of mutual affection between a
dog and magnificent specimen OF a
barn-yard hen is displayed. The dog is
fed regularly and he at once seeks the
hen, and together they devour the re-
past, the hen clucking the while and
the dog showing every evidence OF sat-
isfaction. After the food has been
-eaten both the hen and the dog seek
a sequestered spot and nap is enjoyed
by both. Regular after the noon
meal, the hen, as II in payment of the
repast, will lay an egg in the saucepan
in which the dinner has been served.
Then the dog. in response to muca
clucking on the part OF the hen, will
run to the pan and quickly eat the
fresh egg.

the hotels and inns, but guests ut the

the other day. They were brought
there by the butler in the household
of President Diaz, who mas been on
a trip to Progreso They are three
bugs Of n rare breed. The only place
in the world in which they are found
is Yucatan. The average specimen Is
about an inch and half long. Its
body is in two sections, resembling
the bodies Of some species OF the bee

stout shield or plate which Is almost
fat, curving but little at the edges
When the head OF the bug is placed
under the microscope II looks rather
intelligent and amiable. The bugs
which were brought here are in a
highly ornate state. Some cunning
artist OF Yucatan has painted shields
in the Mexican national to!ors on the
rear plates over their bodies, and
highly colorcd punches Of flowers on
| the front plates, and has gllded their
long, doublrd-up legs. Little gold
| chains are attached to the middle OF
the rear plato. which Is the larger OF
each bugs body, by which his bugship
can be lifted up or led around. One OF
the bugs was presented to President
Diaz, ono to n Mexican lady and the
other to an American lady. They are

THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.

Minister Makes tho Congregation and
the Congregation the Minister.
Between minister and his congre-
CATION there is an action and a reaction
SO that the minister makes the con-
gregation and the congregation the
minister, says Ian MacLaren in the
Ladies' Home Journal. When one
speaks OF a minister's service to his
people one is not thinking OF pew
rents and offertories and statistics and
crowds; nor of schools and guilds and
classes and lectures. The master
achievement OF the minister is to form
character and to make men. The chief
question, therefore, to consider about
a minister's work is: What kind of
men has he made?
And one, at least, OF the most deci-
sive questions by which the members
Of a congregation can be judged Is:
What have they made OF their minis
ter? BY that one does not mean what
salary they may give him, nor how
agreeable they may be to him. but how
far he has become a man and risen
to his height in the atmosphere OF his
congregation. Some congregations
have ruined ministers by harassins
them till they lost heart and self-con-
troll and became peevish and ill-tem.
pered. Some congregations, again
have ruined ministers by so humorine
and petting them that they could en-.
dure no contradiction and became
childish. That congregation has done
its duty most effectively which has Gre
ated an atmosphere so genial. and ye
so bracing, that every good in It's min
lister has bsen fostered and everything
petty killed.
