An Unsuccessful Experlm ent.

Young Mr. Goode has been married
only very short time, but (or perhaps
1 should say therefore, he had a num-
Der of theories as to how to be happy
though married. One Of these was that
the husband should invariably pretend
to like his wife's cooking, whether it
was good or bad. One evening Mrs
Goode prepared some biscuits. They
were heavy and soggy and absolutely
indigestible, but her better half ate
heartily of them. (The sequel will show
why call him the better half) AS he
finished the sixth one, he smiled across
the table at his wife and said tenderly:
..These biscuits are delicious, love.
Just like my mother used to make"
"You mean thingr' exclaimed his
spouse, GROSSLY, IF couldn't make bet
ter biscuits than your mother makes,
I'd live in boarding house
All Of which goes to show that wom-
an is indeed, as the poet says, "Uncsr-
tain, coy and hard to please. "--5an

A Missing Word.

A North Carolina preacher in one or
our western counties, whose memory
sometimes fails him at the critical
point, says the Homiletic Review, was
recently preaching sermon before a
Sunday school convention. His subject
was ."The Resurrection" The thought
toward which he was driving with all
physical earnestness was that the doc
trine of the resurrection was the very
essence of the gospel. The word "es-
sence" he had carefully calculated to
use in q tremendous epitome Of his
whole thought. Rising on tiptoe, he
shouted: I'm a nutshell, my brethren,
the doctrine of the resurrection is the
very-is the very
Alas! His chosen word, Essence"
