THIEF AMONG THE ANGELS.

One day the mayor of Cambridge, who had tried to curb Mir Sturgeon s tendencies to sensationalism, inquired of him if he had really told his con gregation that if theft got into heaven he would begin picking the an- gels pockets. t'Yes, sir,' the young preacher replied, ''I told them that if it were possible for an ungodly man to go to heaven without having his nature changed, he would be none the better for being there; and then by way of illustration I said that were a thief to get in among the glorifed he would remain a thief still, and he would go round the place picking the angels pockets.' But my dear young friend" asked the mayor seri- ously, don't you know that the angels haven't any pockets?' No, sir,'' re- piled young Sturgeon with gravity, T did not know that; but I am glad to be assured of the fact from gentle man who does know I will take care to put it all right the first opportunity get' The next Monday morning Sturgeon walked into the mayors place of business and said to him cheerily: T set that matter right yesterday, sir" What matter!' he inquired Why, about the angels pockets What did you say?'' "Oh, sir, just told the people I was sorry to say that I had made mistake the last time preached to them, but that l had met gentleman-the mayor of Cambridge-who had assured me that the angels had no pockets, so I must correct what I had said, as I did not want anybody to go away with false notion of heaven. I would, therefore. say that if thief got among the an gels without having his nature changed, he would try to steal the feathers out of their wings. .'-Homi- letic Review.

 By former decision the trust was invalidated so far as it related to the real property, which was ordered dis tributed.
 The trustees contended, however, that this decision did not extend in ef- feet to the personal property, valued between $S,O00.O00 and $9,o000 GOO, and on the order of Judge Troutt for dis tribution to the Fair children of that portion of the estate they prosecuted the appeal which is now determined in the court of last resort.

PASSING OF CENTRAL.

A very significant innovation is q telephone system that does away with "Central' In practicable and success ful operation in Fall River, Mass, is a telephone exchange providing an auto- matic arrangement whereby the sub- scriber, by revolving a disk-someWhat like the disk of combination safe until it cheeks off the number he wish- es to call for, rings up'' the number. Bringing the 'combination'' to the first number in the series he wishes causes q switch in the Central exchange to swing to certain group of contacts the next number narrows the selection to certain number of contacts in the group; the last brings it to the identi- cal spot required. The caller then pushes 9 button and the connection is established. If the line is busy. a bug zlng noise gives him warning. The calls come in first to the larger trunk lines, of course, and thus il might be expected that the apparatus would be oIten pussy. since one call would shut off accessibility to many numbers in the group of instruments covered by the trunk line, but an ingenious con- trlVance causes the current to pass by the trunk lines that are busy till if comes to one not in use, so that the system would fail to work only when all the trunk lines or selectors were busy. Even then the buzzed warning would indicate that the caller would have to wait only until one of ten per sons had finished talking.
 The cost of maintaining the mechan- ical part of the system has not ia- creased. And though 1t works hard ship to discharged employees. the svs- tenn economies in wages, for, with the exception of necessary bookkeepers and few attendants to see that things run on without bitches. force of work people is not required. Indeed. on Sundays and during the night while the exchange is locked. the instruments continue making their connections without supervision. Privacy is se- cured. Cheapness is secured. The automatic telephone means another step in the elimination of middlemen and the automatizing of life.-W Worlds Work.

A WRESTLING CHOIR


 J. T. Lockhart, superintendent of the Berean Baptist Sunday school of Augusta, Ga, is responsible for a new departure in church music, and through his efforts the innovation has been eminently successful.
 MT Lockharr obtained his idea from ''The Burgomaster,' which recently appeared in Augusta. He heard s.The Tail of the Kangaroo" whistled. and when the audience joined ill the cho- rus the effect struck him as being so unique that he at once decided to put it into effect in his choir. MT Lock- hart talked the matter over with the Rev J. Fl Oliver, pastor of the church. and it was decided to'try the plan the following Sunday The Sunday school numbers 301 members On the Sum- day when Mir Lockhart had planned to introduce whistling music the ex- ercises were opened by short talk on the sacredness of all melody and harmony and of the praise that could be rendered to God in every form of music. MT Lockhart then told the pupils that they were going to try a new form of music He said that as great many of the young men who really had good voices would not sing because they had never been trained in music he had decided to form a whistling choir
 The superintendent had no difficulty in inducing the boys and young men to come forward and whistle.-New York Commercial AdvertiserI
