A Transaotion in Deslss.

A passion for old furniture general ly communicates itself to the collec- tors friends. Thus of a young lawyer iu Worcester, who has good taste In antiques, the Gazette records that his enthusiasm has infected many persons7 sometimes with saddening results It was no more than natural that when the lawyers friend, the professor, sold his desk, which was of ancient design but of doubtful age, and began looking for something better, he should con- suit the young lawyer. The man Of law was delightfully."- sympathetic. T sSw just what you want the other day, he said. but Pm afraid it's gone now. I'll keep my eye out for the next few days" Well, if you see anything real Iy good, said the professor. "buy it and hold it for me- It is not safe to let a bargain go too long. Only let me 'know as soon as you can, so that I won't be buying one, too. It would be a great favor" Not at all,'' said che lawyer Its a pleasure to buy a good thing, even if you are not to keep it yourself" In day or two the pso- lessor received a joyful note. The young lawyers mother had found just what the professor wanted-a beauty one of those rare old bits that theR cannot counterfeit, and such a bargain. only ten dollars. The professor was charmed. He immediately sent his cneck to the young lawyer, with an enthusiastic note of thanks and re- quest to send Up the desk. He was in the hall vixen it arrived. He tore off the sacking and inspected his prize. It was his old desk that he had sold a few days before for eight dollars and . half.

FED TO ANIMALS.

h the corn districts of the United States the English sparrows have abandoned insects for grain
 Though horses train best on hay and oats in many stables they are now be- ing fed hay, bran. vegetables and corn, mixed, steamed and then served after this cooking. Dogs have been induced to feed on vegetables in order that they may be milder tempered and the dog biscuits fed them have taken the place of table scraps.
 Animals that live on one single food are growing more scarce among the highly organized creatures. There is evidence that the swan once fed on aquatic grasses. Once when ice de- stroyed the grass growing at the bot tom of the lagoon at AbbotsBurv the half-wild swans starved in hundreds because they would touch no other food. Nowadays they eat grain and bread.
 Instances of carniYorous animals turning to a vegetable diet are rare. One noted instance is a Scotch deer hound, which is so fond of peaches that it will stand on it's hind legs to reach them on the trees. In New Aea- land a parrot took to sheep-killing and eating, and some pigs evinced a prefer eDee for a diet of young lamb while some Australian sheep became not only carniyorous but eannihal-

PASTOR MUST LEAD HIS FLOCK
He Should Not Come Down to Their
 Level

He Should Not Come Down to Their
 Level
 ''Fhe minister should be given to understand that his congregation ex- oeets to share in the ripest knowledge he possesses, and will appreciate his most careful thinking" writes Ian Maclaren ir the Ladies Home Journal. When he rises to his height on any Occasion and breaches a great sermon, t does not matter whether every per son has understood every word or iome of them only about one-half He ought to be told that all the members of his church are proud of him and hank God for him. and that even if he were beyond them this was not be- cause of obscurity but becaus Q of ele- Fation, and that they are pleased to have a minister who lives at such a level. He must not come down to hem, but they must strive to rise to him. It is a miserable business for preacher to repeat the commonplace of his people in a showy form so that the man in the street goes home con- graduating himself because he has heard his paltry ideas tricked out in showy dress. It is the function of the prophet to lead his flock onward, even though the march be soInee-mes through the wilderness. and they ought to follow close behind him and tell him that they are there, and that they will aot cease to follow till he has brought them into the fullness of the land of promise Under those conditions man will feel bound to read the best books and to think out every subject to it's very heart; he will grudge no labor of brain, no emotion of soul, to meet the expectation of thoughtful broad-miuded people, and if he come at last to be leader of thought whose words fly far and wide, then to this congregation will the credit be due who believed in him, and demanded great things of him, and made of him more than he. in his most ambitious moment, could bave imagined"

tnsanlty in the nonar Animal.-

Darwin declared that insanity was not peculiar to human beings. and as- serted that other animals often become insane. According to pr. Snelison, the lower animals, without exception. at times labor under delusions like those of insane human beings. They worB themselves into frenzy of insanity. and this is applicable to birds. cats. dogs, monkeys, cattle and horses. Mir Richard Kearton gives instances of birds developing forms of insanity Razor-biils, he says, are somewhat shy birds. and yet on one occasion when 250 Dutch fishing boats landed at ina capital of the Shetlands. in order to hold their annual feast before start. ing summer herring catching ana tba place was literally crowded. razor. bill came in from sea, and began to cut such odd eapers within dozen yards of the crowded esplanade as made everybody who saw it wonder Some Of the onlookers said that fbev had never seen q bird act in sncb fashion, and that "it must be mad.

 Nine tons of poultry, consisting of 2s169 geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks, from Boston, were recently landed at London dock, where it was found that they had decayed on the voyage. They could not be condemned, however. till they had been loaded on wagons and earted to a police court, where police magistrate came out, listened to the inspectors story, sat- isfled himself by his own senses that the fowls were unsound, and ordered them to be destroyed. A police magis- Irate is apparently the only English official who can condemn bad meat, md this he can do only after listening Q complaint and examining the cor pus delicti personally in his own court ;oom.

4 Sailors GratitndA

Edward McGarry, the sailor of the Resolute who was pardoned from Portsmouth jail by Gov. Rollins, where he was serving six months sentence for disorderly conduct, has gone home to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester (N H. Union. Before leaving he made frorl piece of the aft rail of the United States steamship Maine a paper weight, which Lawyer John H. Bartlett, who was his counsel, has for warded to Gov. Rollins. The design was suggested by McGarry. The top bears the inscription, Edward Me- Garry to Gov. Rollins" while on the reverse is neatly engraved, Made from the aft rail of the U. s. Maine. D
 McGarry is an artist as we'll as a sailor and has drawn a sketch of an- other paper weight which he is to have made. When speaking of it he said: T wanted to show my apprecia- tion of whet your governor did for me. The metal of which that paper weight is made came from the United States steamship Maine, now in Ha- vana harbor. I took it from the wreck myself, with a view of having a large paper weight made to present to the governor of Maine. This little token which am now having made to send to Gov Rollins is hurried af- fair l am going to give him a better one. Here is a picture of it which I have designed. You see, the base is to represent a rough rock, typical of a sailor On the top you see a sailors hat, with the band |. s. s. Resolute upon it. While upon the top of the hat you see Q pair of handcuns, the con- meeting link of which has been cut in two by q quill pen"
 The whole affair will weigh nearly a pound and half and engraved upon a little tablet on the face of the rock will be the words. Gov. Rollins freed a sailor of the nesolute."
 On the bottom of the weight will be engraved: Presented to Gov. F. W. Rollins in remembrance of the kind- ness shown Edward McGarry of the U. s. 5. Resolute."

Who Wrote Books of Travel, Yet Fad
 Never Travelled.
 New Orleans Times-Demoerat: "I used to know a man." said New Or leans bohemian, who made a living writing stories of travel for boys. He had never been out of Missouri in his life, but he was famous for the graphic fidelity of his description of foreign lands. His reference library consisted of exactly three works: An encyclope- dia, set of United States consular re- ports. covering four or five years, and copy of Woods Natural History" If the scene of the story was to be laid. for instance, in Borneo, he would be- gin by reading the Borneo article in the encyclopedia; then he would turn to the consular reports and look up all the odd and interesting matter he could find touching that particular island. and finally he would get a description cf its animals from Woods. He wrote at an old table on which was glued a map of the world, covered with a sheet of glass This was constantly before his eyes, so he couldn't go astray on geography, and, as I said before. his descriptions were marvels of accuracy. He could draw q better and more re- alistic pen picture of foreign countries than travellers themselves. People thought that he had been a great globe trotter, and, crazy as 1t sounds, I be- lieye he actually got to thinking so himself. The last time I saw hir he talked about Afghanistan in the easy off-hand vein of a personal observer. If hadn't happened to know that be had been living in S.. Louis all his life l would have sworn be had been there"
