A Sermon from Newspapers.

The Rev. III. y. Pringle of the PASSPORT
Congregational church preached d Sensa-
tional sermon last Sunday night, which he
had advertised as the longest and most
unique of the year His subject was the
temperance question in eastern Maine and
the basis of his talk was found in $50 col
umns, measuring go feet, which had been
clipped from the newspapers during the
week. The sermon consisted OF reading
extracts from the newspapers, and IN COM
ments on the non-entorcement OF the liquor
law 1t had been intended to have roll OF
the clippings carried out of the church door
toward Passamaquoddy bay, but because OF
the storm it was stretched up and down the
church aisles. Mr.. Pringle obtained CON
siderable prominence in the State few
weeks ago by denouncins Sunday trains
and Sunday newspapers, and has been a
leading temperance agitator OF Maine lor
some time. His sermon has provoked con-
siderable comment because Of the charges
made regarding the liquor 4'stiic.

The common red, or Virginia deer,
is exceedingly plentiful in many parts
OF New Brunswick, and peculiar fact
concerning it is that it is largely
changing it's habitat, so far as Canada
is concerned. 1t has recently made it's
appearance in the Gaspe district, where
hitherto it was unknown. Upon the
north shore of the st. Lawrence il was
only known until quite recently, to in
habit Western Canada and the Ottawa
district of the Province of Quebec.
Within the last year or two Il has
spread into the st. Maurice territory,
and thence into the country north of
Lake st. John. In the vicinity Of Que
bee specimens have lately been seen
swimming across the st. Lawrence
from the south shore to the north
shore. In the localities where it is most
abundant, namely, in the Ottawa and
Gaspe districts, in the Metapedia val
ley, north of Montreal, the neighbor-
hood of Lake Megantic and the coun-
ties of Beauce, L'Islet and Kamour-
aska, it has increased to such an ex-
tent as to be a nuisance to the farm
ers, whose crops it ravishes. 1t seems
particularly fond of peas. Large num-
bers of this beautiful animal are DOW
failing daily to the guns of visiting
sportsmen.- Sunday World.

son his duty to his parents.
This went on for some time, aud
Heldar became pathetic. A sort or
apathy rested upon the people. They
sang melancholy hymns at church,
they talked of the SORROWS of life, and
above all they resigned themselves to
the inevitable.
But it happened that Jeanette Vail
came to town. She was the niece or
the Hansons, who had lived there al
ways. The town felt furry of some
thing akin to excitement at the advent
of this glowing young beauty, the heir
ess, as it was learned, to a goodly
fortune. The sight of her on her
wheel, glancing along the streets, was
invigorating, and Heldar temporarily
forgot its depression. A dance was got
up in her honor, and her gaiety and
charm seemed to bring fresh life to
the girls whose lovers never came
back and to the young men whom for
tune had stranded in the quiet spot.
The first time Jeanette had occa-
sion to go to the postoffice there was
sensation. AS usual, one of the wild
eyed cats was looking out Of the win
dow.
Dear me, postmistress," cried jean
nette, with good-natured condescen-
sion. lis that your cat?"
The cat blinked gloomily, and the
postmistress did not answer, but as
she appeared at the window another
cat was visible on her shoulder.
"You must be fond of cats" said the
girl pleasantly. The group in the
postofice held their breath. 1t was
unheard of for the dour Patsy to be
addressed in this fashion.
Have you any mail for Miss Vail
Jeanette Vail?"
The postmistress shook her head.
But you haven't looked. How can
you know?"
With a flash of anger from her little
eyes Patsy looked, but returned with
a mute denial.

window it would be difficult to i'm

Swept Past the AstonIshed Guards and

The Philadelphia Commercial Mu-
scum and the National Export exposi-
ton had their beginning in the collec-
tions gathered for Philadelphia at the
worlds fair in Chicago by DR.. William
z. Wilson, now director of the museum,
says the Philadelphia Post. The work
of packing the valuable material kept
DR.. Wilson at work nearly all through
the winter. His labors were almost at
an end when a fire broke out endan-
gering his most precious goods. DR..
Wilson called one of his assistants.
go out and get all the wagons you
can, and get them quickly" he said.
The assistant lost no time in making
his way to the nearest gate. But in
few minutes he came back despond-
ent. Its no use,' he said; I'VE can't
get a wagon They are afraid thieves
may plumber exhibits, and the guards
will let no one enter the grounds. What
can we do?" Dol" exclaimed DR..
Wilson; why, get those wagons here!
We must and will have them. Go back
and hire them. Then form them in a
line outside the gate, and at the head
of the line put the biggest driver and
the best team of the lot. Then, when
you give the word, let them drive in,
guards or no guards, and every man
jack of them close after him. Now,
hurry" Within ten minutes the col
umn was formed, and, led by brawny
Irishman, it swept past the astonished
guards like battery going into action,
stopping only when the agricultural
building was reached. The goods that
DR.. Wilson was anxious to save were
among the thirty carloads of exhibits
shipped to Philadelphia three weeks
later, and some of them may be seen
at the Commercial museum today.

was accursed, and as if everyone who
left it was false to it. There was Dick
Simmons, for example, who left his
mother praying for his prosperity, and
who had seemed the tenderest OF sons,
but who had not sent a word home in
years. The distant city had swallowed
him up There was Enoch Brand, who
went away to make a home for his
sweetheart, Vivian Oxford, and who
sent no word and returned no more
There was John Harrison, who prom
ised to send his father the money to
raise the mortgage on the old place,
but who forgot to keep his word. But
il is foolish to cite the cases. 1t
seemed as If there never had been a
community with so much reason for
bitterness of spirit as that of Heldar
The worst of it, for sensitive souls,
sometimes seemed to be the fixed de-
light which Patsy Null took in these
disappointments. The sardonic smirk
upon her face would be emphasized
when the anxious watcher for the ex-
Dected letter would be turned from
the window empty handed day after
day. She almost never spoke. She
merely shook her head or nodded it.
She asked no questions. but everyone
was aware that she kept abreast with
the doings in the town. Little went
on that was not talked over in the
postofIice. and If Patsy was economical
with her voice she was prodigal with
her curiosity.
There were certain fanciful women
who said that it seemed as If Patsy
was a sort of evil spirit who brooded
over the town. 1t seemed as IL she
had hunger for disappointment and
enjoyed seeing her neighbors suffer.
Her little eyes, which were too close
together, shone with vicious bright
ness whsn she heard that another low
