In a certain parish in Scotland col
lectors were going round soliciting con-
tributions for the kirk. On coming to
a wretched little hovel they hesitated
whether or not to enter, but finally de-
cided to try their luck" A hale old
man greeted them, and to him they ex-
planned their errand, but he really had
nothing to give them, he said.
Cant 20 gle up your whiskyY' one
of the visitors asked. NO" he said,
81 don't drink 'whusky." Perhaps
then he could forego the pleasures of
snuff. No. he didn't use snuff.
The collectors prepared to move on.

stntc.,nnn and Gambler.

Charles James Fox. the English
statesman, was even more notorious in
the gaming world than he was famous
in the world of politics. He had squan-
dered $250,0O0 before coming of age.
He became one of the most profigate
gamesters of the vicious days in which
he lived. Some of his finest displays in
debate were sandwiched between eX-
element such as would unnerve most
men who had no serious business on
hand. Walpole has given a glimpse of
q typical passage in this extraordinary
mans life. He had to take part in the
discussion on the thirty-nine articles IN
parliament on a certain Thursday. He
had sat up playing hazard from Tues
day evening until 8 o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon. An hour before he had
recovered 100000 that he had lost and
by dinner time, which was 8 o'clock,
ended losing $4,000. On Thursday he
spoke in the debate, went to dinner at
past IL at night; thence to club,
where he drank till the next morn
ing; thence to a gambling house, where
he won $4,000, and between 3 and
in the afternoon he set out on q jour-
ney to Newmarket.

Lengfhcning a Bees Tongue.

Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts Of beautiful
creatures, but the account is far more
than balanced by the amount of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case Of the bee. The bee
lives by its tongue, with which organ
It is able to extract the honey from
flowers. Now, bees tongue is natu-
rally about a twenty-ffth of an inch
long. Clever beekeepers, bykeeping only
those bees with naturally long tongues,
have succeeded in frightening the
tongues Of a number of bee colonies
TO the extent of another hundredth Of
an inch. 1t does not sound much, but
it enables those insects to do quar-
ter as much work again in the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. He has given them ready made
homes, where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles of wax for outside walls, ana
food during fowerless weather.

The Students Prayer.

There was long ago a divinity hall
presided over by most amiable and
dignified professor. On certain days
the senior students opened the proceed
ings of the day with prayer. One morn
ing raw youth from a remote re-
gion performed this duty, and it was a
memorable occasion. None who were
present can forget how the venerable
professor turned and gazed on the I'M
tutored lad, who prayed for him as
follows: Lord, have mercy on our
professor for he is weak and ignorant.
Strengthen his feeble hands, confirm
his lettering knees, and grant that he
may go out and in before us like the
he goat before the flock. "-"Twenty-

A Tvpical south African Store.

0. r. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical of South Africa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
''needle to an anchor" This store is
situated in valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about twenty
five miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says: 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius of
thirty miles, to many of whom l have
supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All
testify to their value in a household
where a doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile of my
store the population is perhaps sixty.
OF these, within the past twelve months,
no less than fourteen have been abso-
lutely cured by Chamberlain Cough
Remedy This must surely be a re-
cord" For sale by Richard Gibson

when the Cat Was Sacred.

In the middle ages brute animals
formed as prominent a part in the de-
votional ceremonies of the time as they
had in the old religion Of Egypt. The
cat Elurus was embalmed after death
and buried in the city of Bubastis be-
cause, according to Herodotus, Diana
Bubastis, the chief diety of the place,
was said to have transformed herself
into a cat when the gods fed into
