AN UNFAMILIAR TEXT.
But 1t Was n Forcible Illustration
of Great Truth.

VI Nreut truth
Several years ago there labored in
one of the western villages of Mime
sofa a preacher who was always in the
habit of selecting his texts from the
Old Testament and particularly some
portion of the history of Noah. No
matter what the occasion was. he
would always find some parallel Incl
dent from the history of this great
character that would readily serve as
text or illustration.
At one time he was called upon to
unite the daughter of the village may
or and a prominent attorney in the
holy bonds Of matrimony. Two little
boys. knowing his determination to
give them Il portion of the sacred his
tory touching Noah'S marriage. hit
upon the novel idea of FASTING together
two leaves in the family Bible so as to
connect, without any apparent break,
the marriage of Noah and the descrip-
ton of the ark of the covenant.
When the noted guests were all as
sembled and the contracting parties
with attendants in their respective sta
tons, the preacher began the ceremo-
MES by reading the following text:
And when Noah was one hundred and
forty years old he took unto himself
a wife then. turning the page, he
continued, 300 cubits in length. 80
cubits in width and 80 cubits in depth
and within and without besmeared
with pitch" The story seemed a little
strong. but he could not doubt the b.
BILE, and, after reading it once more
and rejecting moment, he turned to
the startled assemblage with these re-
marks, My beloved brethren. this is
the first time in the history of my life
that my attention has been called to
this important passage of the Scrip
lures, but it seems to me that it is one
of the most forcible illustrations of
that grand eternal truth that the ma
ture of woman is exceedingly difficult
TO comprehend.-Starlight Messenger.

RISKS FIREMEN TAKE.
The Reason Engineer Brown Stuck
to His Dangerous Post.

The reason Engineer brown STUCK
to His Dangerous Post.
The risks that firemen in big cities
take are an everlasting wonder. and
the story of Bill Brown, as told by
Cleveland Moffett in Careers of Oar
ing and Danger" shows that the en-
gineer's bravery is sometimes put to
tests as severe as those which the
hose man or the ladder man eteri has to
endure.
What happened was this: Engine %,
pumping her prettiest, stood at the cor
ner so near the drughouse that the
driver thought it wasn't safe for the
horses and led them away. That left
Brown alone. against the cheek of the
fire. watching his boiler and keeping
his steam gauge mt seventy-five.
As the fire gained chunks of redhot
sandstone began to smash down on the
engine Brown ran his pressure up to
eighty and watched the door anXiously
where the four firemen from his squad
had gone into the furnace.
Then an explosion of chemicals in
the building sent a flame wide as a
house curling across the street, enwrap-
ping enb.ne and man and setting fire
to the elevated railway station over
head. Bill Brown stood by his engine
with a sheet of fire above him. He
heard footsteps on the pavement and
voices that grew fainter crying, Run
for your livesr' He was alone, and the
skin on his hands, face and neck was
blistered.
Brown knew why every one was run
ming There would be another eXplo-
sion. 1t was tolerably certain that he
must die if he stayed. But his four
chums were in the fire and needed the
water. If he quit his engine, the water
would fail.
He stocked in coal and ran the gauge
up another notch, easing the running
parts with the oiler. He was offering
his life for his friends.
In a few minutes the four firemen
came out of the building. Then Bill
Brown ran for his life with his COM
rades. \ second or two later engine
% was crushed by the falling walls.

Early Methods of Curing Skins.

The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of clean
ing and drying them. Removal of the
hair by maceration in water seems to
have been common among the very
early tribes, and one writer has sug-
gested that the idea was obtained from
the natural process of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
1t in the case of drowned animals,
where maceration can be plainly OBJ
served
Following this smoke, sour milk, oil
and the brains of the animals them
selves We're found etticacious. Many
of these primitive methods are employ.

| toward the outskirts of the town. The
! air was of a hue strange to him, sullen-
/ " luminous. and he had gone not more
( than quarter of mile when he saw
/ to the south, directly opposite from
/ where the storm had come. a menac-
/ Ing bank of restless clouds. They were
ablaZe with ragged fire. The boom of
[ thunder rose afresh. Yes; there could
/ be no further question. \ second
tempest was approaching. Already the
1 sickness of terror was upon him. the
nausea of cowardice, and he again fac
ed toward his refuge. the cave. But
something in the sky held him fas-
cinated. something shaped like IT,
tanic top. hung from the heavens and
| spun by demon hands. Then it stop
! ped moving. growing larger and larger.
What had the landlord said that aft
ernoon? When it stops "bouncin'," it's
close.
He turned and fled for his life, but
even as he ran Il new thought came to
him. 1t was not yet morning. None
in the sleeping town knew of the doom
racing toward their homes. He had
pitiful vision of shattered houses, lit
tered with mutilated bodies. women
and children caught from their slum-
bers in the crunehing nav Of the cy-
clone.
He forgot himself and : fear. He
had passed the cyclone cellar and was
rushing through the hall of the hotel.
Cyclone! cyclone! To the cave
for your lives
The house sprang into instant life,
but before the first startled guest
reached the main floor Andrews was
again in the street. He carried the
dinner gong, which he had seized in an
inspiration born of anxiety. Between
each shout of warning he drummed
mad, Quivering alarms on the eloquent
brass.
He made the round of three sides of
the square when of a sudden mighty
roaring was all about him. He paused,
bewildered, and crashing thunder
bolt seemed to strike his temple, a
burning splendor blinded his eyes.
/ Then an invisible power struck full
against him. seized him and wrapped
him in its crushing embrace, bore him
aloft, tossed him here and there and
finally into a blackness that swallow
ed him completely
Three days later he woke to see an
angel bending over him. No; it was
flesh and blood, after ALL 1t was she.
He blinked at her uncertainty.
You are a hero" She spoke softly,
with shining eyes.
Then he remembered.
Were many saved?"
GAIL" she answered proudly. "Those
you saved reused the Others and only
a few. who sought refuge in cellars
instead of caves. were hurt by falling
timbers. But you suffered most. Oh,
it was noble"'
Andrews spoke with sudden vigor
mo; l am a coward. The storms
frightened me shamefully. You can
not understand how l quivered and
/ trembled like child. am not worthy
of you. l had already hidden in the
cave that night. l came out only when
l thought all danger was over. The
rest was-an accident"
He stopped exhausted. and she bent
close 10 him.
Don't talk that way, dearest. You
are not a coward, but conqueror of
fear, and you will be my hero always"

Chinese weddings.

The chief incident in a Chinese mar
rage is the arrival of the bride in her
bridal clothes before the house of her
chosen one This is Il de facto fulfill
ment of the contract. The wedding
day is determined by the parents of the
groom. The imperial calendar names
the lucky days, and on such days the
SO called red celebrations" take place,
both in the city and country. The same
bridal clothes may be used several
times. That the chief part of a Chinese
marriage is the arrival of the bride at
the house of the groom is illustrated
by the fact that the sons are often mar
ried without being present at their own
weddings 1t is not believed to be for
tunate to change the wedding day when
once decided. If the future husband.
therefore, happens to be called away on
the wedding day, the marriage takes
place by sending the bride to his house.

was given. The explanation is that
Mr.. Winner wrote a great MANY of his
songs over the pen name of Alice
Hawthorne, and he sent "Listen to
the Mocking Bird" into the world over.
that name. Another pen name of his
was MARK Mason" Indeed, most of
his songs were written over names
other than his own, which is proof of
n fact that modesty was one of Mr..
Winners most marked character
istics.
Soldiers of the civil war will remem-
Der another song of Septimus Win
ner's that was the sensation of the
day when it was first put into circu-
latlon and that was sung around many
camp fires. This famous old war song
was Give Us Back Our Old Command
err" 1t was inspired by the removal
of Gen. Mcclellan from command of
the Army of the Potomac. Some idea
of the impression the song made may
he had from the fact that the de-
partment of war felt called upon
to suppress it. Mr.. Winner who no
titled that he would be imprisoned in
Fort Lafayette if he continued to sell
the song, and a public singer, Julia
Mortimer, who was singing it with
tremendous effect or the stage, was
informed that she would be impris-
oned if she continued singing it.. More
than $4,000 copies of the songs were
sold in Washington alone, and it's au-
thor became one of the most talked of
men of the day.
Mr.. Winner was also the author of
that old-time favorite, "What Is Home
Without a Mother?" whispering
Hope" and many other favorites.

R o MANY SONGS.
Death of septimum Winner Recalls
Number of Once Very Popular
COmpOsitfOns.

The recent death of septimus Win
ner recalls the fact that he contrib
uted many songs to the world. When
ne celebrated his seventy-fourth
birthday last spring he also was con-
graduated because it was the forty
fourth anniversary of the publication
OF his song, Listen to the Mocking
BRO. The greatest of singers have
sung it, street urchins have whistled
IL and the greatest of musicians as
well as the humblest have played it.
Ihose who remember having seen the
name OF Alice Hawthorne given as the
author OF the song on its title page
Will perhaps wonder why this name
