with those who are not preiudiced we

who have showed themselves capable
that We must follow. One of the most
intellectual bodies of Afro-Americans
that will convene in the closing OF the
nineteenth century will be the General
Conference of the Africa Methodist
Episcopal Church. And while those
that have held the banner highest will
receive the election Of blshopric, let all
centralize on the one greatest financiers
the Connection has ever known, Rev,
Z. A Hubbard, D. D., of Colorado.
The California delegation will vote

Hubbard is an ideal type Of the Chris

Cross In Front of Engines.

zone Of the oldest traits in animal
nature" said an old time Illinois Cen
trail engineer, lis the desire of every
living thing to cross in front Of the
locomotive. At first it filled me with
wonder, and l used to lie awake nights
trying to explain it. Now it's grown
to be an old story with me.
"What goes in front of the engine?
Why, everything. Let me see! I've
seen snakes-and Pm a sober man,
mind you-stick up their heads to see
what was making all the rumble along
the right of way and then deliberately
start to crawl across the rails. I've
seen many quail spring up along the
right Of way, fly along just ahead of
the engine and then shoot across in
front. Several times when I've been
running a mile a minute the engine
has struck these birds and killed them.
In the old days l used to jump deer
now and then, and the chances were
he'd cross the track every time. Cat
tie invariably do it until they have
learned better; so do pigs and all do
nestle animals. Even chickens will
run fluttering across.

animals to stock a farm and men

Horace Walpole tells lively story of
an old porcelain vender, who had an
exceedingly rare and valuable jar on
which he set an almost fabulous price.
One hot summer a slight volcanic
shock, such as the British isles occa-
sionally experience, logged his house
about his ears and split his porcelain
vase. To an ordinary mind the accident
would have been calamitous, but the
china seller rose superior to fortune.
He doubled the price of the article i'm
mediately and advertised it as "the
only jar in the world which had been
cracked by an earthquake" Nothing
very slow about that. Whether he got
his money is not added, but he certain
ly deserved it.
