 He turned up punctually, with the grin still on his face, and In due time we reached Old Harbor once more.

One day Andrew Carnegie at Pitts burg called up one of his New York lawyers by long distance telephone.
 The steelmaker wanted to ask question, but could not make himself understood clearly over the telephone, so he asked the lawyer to come to Pittsburg
 The lawyer said he had an important appointment in New York next day and could not get away.
 Come over now, then" MT. Carnegie said.
 Cant get train," answered the law yer.
 Hire special" was the answer which came back from Pittsburg.
 So the lawyer engaged a special train, went to Pittsburg and saw MT. Carnegie.
 The steelmaker asked the lawyers advice as to whether the question trou- bling him called for ''yes' or mo-"
 The lawyer answered. "No."
 Thank you" said MT. Carnegie. Good night"
 The lawyer had said less than 2O words, for which he received 1000, said Good night, MT. Carnegie" and took special train back to New York in time to keep his appointment next day.-New York Herald.

Forrest a. a Ncsr. u.a.treI.

From almost the beginning of Ameri. can stage history there Were negroes of the minstrel variety impersonated on the stage, though it was not until about lSi0 that they were organized into bands. Some of the greatest actors of later days had their experience as min strels, among them Joe Jefferson and Edwin Forrest
 Forrest was given q negro "song and dance" act to do when he was very young, and after he had studied 1t up inc asked where was the "old negro lady" that was to net his assistant in the piece. The management tried sev- erai of the women who were members of the company, but none of them would consent to blacken up, and. In fact, they were very indignant over the proposition. The actor, however, was not easily discouraged. md on the night of the first performance he black ened up and went around the corner to an old negro woman who did his wash ing.
 Hello, Dinah." he said on entering. How yo' be CT feelln dis bcry fine ebcninT'
 Hello, yo'," replied the African lady. "'Pcars to me yo' am CT bery fresh nig- ger"
 "I'ze no nigser." answered Forrest, and then, time being rather short. he assumed his natural voice and told Di- nah, much to her surprise. that he was Forrest. the actor, and that he wanted her to go on the stage with him that night and laugh loudly at frequent in- tervals, which was all the female part called for. The two made a great hit and were kept on for some time. which goes to show that Forrest might have been a good minstrel had he been of an ambitious nature.-Saturday Evening paof

 Honors of Heaven.
 My subject also impresses me with the fact that lions cannot hurt a good man. No man ever got into worse company than Daniel get into when he was thrown into the den. What rare morsel that fair young man would have been for the hungry monsters. If they had plunged at him, he could not have climbed into nirEe beyond the reach of their paw or the snatch of their tooth. They came pleased all around about him, as hunters hounds at the well known whistle come bound ing to his feet. You need not go to Numidia to get many lions. You all have had them after you-the lion of financial distress, the lion of sickness, the lion of persecution. You saw that lion of financial panic putting his mouth down to the earth, and he roar ed until all the banks and all the insur- ance companies quaked. With his nos- tril he scattered the ashes on the do- mcstic hearth. You have had trial aft CT trial, misfortune after misfortune, lion after lion. and yet they have never hurt you If you put your trust In God, and they never will hurt you. They did not hurt Daniel, and they cannot hurt you. The Persians used to think that spring rain falling into seashells would turn into pearls. and I have to tell you that the tears of sorrow turn into precious gems when they drop into Gods bottle. You need be afraid of nothing putting your trust In God. Even death, that monster lion whose den Is the worlds sepulcher and who puts his paw down amid thousands of millions of the dead, cannot alright you. When in olden times a man was to get the honors of knighthood, he was compelled to go fully armed the night before among the tombs of the dead carrying sort of spear, and then when the day broke he would come forth, and amid the sound of cornet and great parade he would get the honors of knighthood. And so 1t will be with the Christian in the night before heaven as fully armed with spear and helmet of salvation he will wait and watch through the darkness until the morn ing dawns, and then he will take the honors of heaven amid that great throng with snowy robes streaming over seas of sapphire.
