Spurgeon's Correction.

One day the mayor Of Cambridge
who had tried to curb Mr.. Spurgeon's
tendencies to sensationalism, inquired
of him if he had really told his congre
cation that, If a thief got into heaven
he would begin picking the angels
pockets.
"Yes, sir" the young preacher re-
piled, IT told them that, If it were pos
sible 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 H.
lustration, I said that, were a thief to
get in among the glorified, he would
remain a thief still, and he would go
around the place picking the angels
pockets!"
But, my dear young friend" asked
the mayor seriously, don't you know
that the angels haven't any pockets?'
"No, sir,' replied young Spurgeon
with equal gravity, II did not know
that, but I am glad to be assured Of
the fact from a gentleman who does
know. will take care to put it right
the first opportunity I get"
The next Monday morning Spurgeon
walked into the mayors place Of bus
mess and said to him cheerfully: Il set
that matter right yesterday, SIR"
What matter?" he inquired.
"Why, about the angels pockets"
What did you say?"
"Oh, sir, I just told the people I was
sorry to say that I had made mistake
the last time preached to them; but
that had met a gentleman-the May
or Of Cambridge-who had assured me
that the angels had no pockets, so
must correct what I had said, as did
not want anybody to go away with q
false notion about heaven. I would,
therefore, say that, If thief got among
the angels without having his nature
changed he would try to steal the
feathers out of their wings.

THE SINFUL BRoTHER.-It was at a
certain church meeting, and the good
bishop was calling for reports. He
had a rather stern, sharp manner
which sometimes Jared little on the
nerves of the more timid. By and by
he came to Brother B., lay delegate.
Brother B., what is the spiritual
condition Of your church," demanded
the bishop briskly.
IT consider it good" said the broth
er.
What makes you think he is good?''
went on the bishop.
"Well, the people are religious. That
is what makes me think so.'
What do you call religious? Do
they have family prayers?"
Some Of them do and some do not
do you mean to say that man may
be a Christian and not hold family
prayer?"
Yes, sir; I think So"
do you hold family prayer?"
"Yes, sir" returned the brother very
quietly.
And yet you think a man may be a
Christian and not hold family pray
er?"
- have a brother who is better
man than am who does not hold fam
lily prayer"
What makes you think he is bet
ter man than you are?"
Everybody says so, ana know ne
is."
why does not your brother, If he is
such a good man, hold family prayer?'
thundered the bishop.
He has no family" meekly answer
ed the brother.-Harper's Magazine.

The letter. which was not intended

"The' Roumanian atrocities are sim

exceeded by those in the Bulletin. /

MONSTER GUN SHIPPED.
Giant Coast Defender Is Sent from
Wateryliet Arsenal 10 sandy
Hook Proving Grounds.

The 1G-inch coast defense gun, which
was manufactured at the Watervliet
arsenal, has been shipped TO the Sandy
Hook proving grounds. The largest
crane in the world had to be pressed
into service TO load the gun on the
boat.
Under the direction of Col. Farley,
commandant at the arsenal. the gun
was loaded on specially constructed
car weighing 34,e7e pounds and slowly
moved to the arsenal dock, where, by
means of the crane and a mammoth
derrick, it was swung onto the barge.
The following are the dimensions of
this great weapon of coast defense:
Length over all. 10 feet 80 inches;
diameter at breech. feet: bore, 16
inches. Its construction was begun
May IA, 1S9s. and ii was finished June
IL. 1902 Some faint idea of its power
can be obtained by the statement that
it shoots projectile weighing 1870
pounds distance of 81 miles. If
smokeless powder is used il will re-
guire $40 pounds. or about 900 pounds
of black powder. The crude steel
from which the gun was assembled
weighed 36>,000 pounds. 1t has cost,
in material. labor. and machinery,
about S150,0O0.

After the first surprise the strikers
rallied and attacked the COssacks.

horses, dicked and stoned and beaten
to-death. Re-enforcements were sum

Heaps OF stones and pieces of iron
we're collected and with these the
troops were assailed both from the
barracks and the housetops. The
troops made six attacks on the bar
racks, but were repulsed in each case.
In the ranks OF the strikers were
1000 women, who fought ferocious
ly. Many of these proletarian ANA
IONS fell victims of the Cossack's
lances.
The next day an overwhelming
army barred their way to the place
appointed by the strikers for meet
