Gross Ingratitude.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton used to tell
the story Of a band Of good women
who furnished the means for educat-
ing a poor young man for the ministry.
who rewarded their kindness and self
sacrifice by preaching his first sermon
from the text Let your women keep
silence In the churches"
Somewhat similar was the expert
ence Of Editor Cadby Of the Whang-
vile Patriot. He tells 1t In this wise:
II gave that boy Of mine college

did 1t. Through my acquaintance with
friend In. the big city I got him q

Raising the Fee.

In that particular year 1t happened
that the national political convention
Of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded.
This Is how 1t came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder, who went merely as
prominent citizen of the republic and
had not taken the precaution to engage
room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman Of the house near the
corner Of Fish street and Potato ave-
nue., the first residence at which he
called, showed him the only room she
had to spare.
THAT suits me, ma'am," he said.
SLOW much win 1t cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
days?"
"Well," she answered, "this Is not a
regular boarding house, and am only
taking boarders because 1 want to ed
ucate my boy for lawyer. / shall
have to charge you SO for the four
days"
Madam" loftily rejoined the colonel,
taking out his pocketbook, "you will
never educate your boy for lawyer by
giving such an example as that. I will
pay you $10."-Chicago Tribune.

How Water Causes a Fire.


One would hardly believe that bot
tie of water standing harmlessly on
a table could be the cause of fire.
Nevertheless such Is the case. In my
laboratory the other day detected the
odor of burning wood and. seeking the
cause, noticed tiny wreath of smoke
rising from the counter. Setting aside
q flask Of water that stood close by
sponged over the burning spot with a
damp cloth. Shortly after / again de-
tected the odor Of burning wood, when,
to my surprise, discovered another
burning spot on the table close to the
water flask. The flask was standing
in the sunlight, thereby concentrating
the rays to focus on the top Of the
table, acting In this case as burning
glass. A handful of highly combusti
bic material was thrown over the burn
ing spot, catching fire almost immedi
ately.
/ cite this instance merely as a warn.
ing to chemists and apothecaries, VINO
may not realize how easily fire may
be started In their storerooms by the
sun shining through bottles, TASKS and
carboys Of liquid. converting them for
the time being into burning glasses of
great power. have In mind now the
instance of fire originating in q
storeroom from this cause.-New York

There is man in Liverpool who il
renowned for his imperturbable calm.
ness on every imaginable occasion. One
day he strolled leisurely into the Office
of a friend.
81 have Just had q chat with your
wife," he said by way Of beginning.
"Why. I didn't know she was In
town"
"Oh, she wasn't In town." replied the
other. 81 called at your house."
~ didn't know she YVES receiving to-
day." said the husband with some sur
prise. 81 thought she had headache"
"She didn't mention 1t to me-" said
the calm man. "There was crowd at
the house."
"A crowdw echoed the husband.
EYES," went on the calm man. "They
came with the fire engine"
"The fire engineer gasped the hus-

"Oh, It's all right" went on the calm
man TITS all out now. 1t wasn't much

Beguiling Childhood.

When my little son could scarcely
walk, says Rev. c. T. Brady, west
ern missionary, took him to the
cathedral one day, when l returned
for something I had forgotten after
morning service.
/ left the child in the nave, and
when l went back to him he had ad-
vanced half way up the middle aisle
and was standing where the sun threw
a golden light about his curly head
y tiny object he was in that great
church.
it was very still. He was looking
about i'm every direction in the most
curious and eager way. To my fancy
he seemed like a little angel when he
said In his sweet, childish treble. which
echoed and re-echoed beneath the
vaulted roof:
Papa, where's Jesus? Where's
jesus"
He had been told that the church
was the house of the Saviour, and on
this. his first, visit he expected to see
his Lord.
That baby Is quite grown up now.
Not in the faintest particular does he
resemble an angel. The other day,
when rode off to the wars, he aston
ished even me with this request:
Papa, If you get wounded, don't for
get to bring me the bullet that knocks
you out want 1t for a souvenir for
my collection"
Fortunately for me, IL unfortunately
for him, / brought him no bullet.
