How He Saved Himself.

A prominent clergyman used to tell
Of one Of his parishioners who had
been very sick: A physician had given
him some medicine and told him he
could go out, but under no circum-
stances was he to get wet. The man
went out on the farm and a shower of
rain came up suddenly. There was no
shelter near, and to save himself he
crawled into hollow log. The action
of the rain caused the log to shrink SO
as to endanger his life.
He could not move, and being
brought face to face with death the
whole of his past life came before him
as in a panorama. He remembered the
days of his childhood, his entrance
upon life, his successes and his sins,
then he remembered, last of all, that
when he left home that morning he re.
fused his wife, when she asked him for
fifty cents for the church, and the
thought made him feel so small that he
had no difficulty in getting out of the
log.-Grace Church Bells.

taken from the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon. to be presented to Admiral Win
field Scott Schley by his friends in this
state and in Washington, has been COM

'SMade of silver taken from the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon, DESTROYED in the
naval battle off Santiago de Cuba July 8,

The fineness of the silver used was not
interfered with, and the metal therefore
has almost the hardness of steel The
weight of the coins used was about 1900
ounces, and at the present price OF silver
represents a value of $780, but nearly six
times that amount was required to pur-
chase the coin from the government.
The presentation of the service will be
