A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

1t happened several years ago, but
the incident is still fresh in the minds
Of many colored people. There was
an African Methodist Bishop, who as
church dignity was greatly respect
ed. He frequently addressed Sunday
school children, and as only could be
expected, he was we'll advertised be-
fore making one of his Sunday after
noon addresses. On this particular
occasion he had been exceptionally
well heralded, and the gathering of
colored children was one of the great
est that ever assembled in the school
room. He had been enlightening the
youthful minds for nearly an hour
upon what were to the children Bib
lical mysteries. Then taking out
his handkerchief and hopping his
brow with the air of man who had
performed task to his own thorough
satisfaction, he said:
Now, children, I think you all
understand what I have been talking
about, but if there is any point which
have not made quite clear l want you
to ask me, as never like to leave
any little mysteries unexplained"
Please, sir" said a little girl at
the back of the room, ''why did the
angels walk up and down Jacobs lad
der when they had wings to fy?"
Instantly the room was all atten-
ton, and even the teachers almost
held their breath to catch the reply.
The Bishop thought a minute, then
said: Um-yes-ah-I-see-er
would any little child like to an
swer that question ?" Then pulling
out his watch, he whispered to the
superintendent: 81 have train to
catch. I am sorry cannot wait for
prayers, but 1 know you will conduct
them"

A SEAT WORTH sss, 900.

Eighty-one thousand dollars is the
price paid recently by New York
Stock Exchange, says Golfers Week
", and added to this was the mi
tiation fee of So, 900, making the total
cost $50, 5000. One week before
seat had been transferred, the consid-
Grafton being $40, 900, and a day or
two afterward one brought $4,000.
Under the laws of the exchange a
man may borrow money on the secur-
ity of his membership, but only OF
his fellow members. Repeated loans
having reduced the margin of his
equity to low figure, and seeing
chance to sell and save something
from the wreck, member will give
notice of his intended retirement and
sale of his seat. The secretary causes
a bulletin of the fact to be posted.
This is form Of advice to all mem
bers holding claims against the seat
to file them for collection. The pur-
chaser pays the money to the secre-
tary, and he in turn pays the claims,
turning over the balance to the re-
firing member.
Accusation of misconduct have
been the cause of members selling
his seat. Where the offense is venial
a fine is imposed or term of suspen-
sion ordered. While under suspen
sion the member is not admitted to
the floor. Though the board Of
governors have pronounced his Of
fence pardonable, it is not easily for
gotten by the members in general.
This is especially the case where the
lapse is such as to bring down a SEN
tence of suspension for whole year.
Many are called to membership,
but few are chosen. 1t is one thing
to have the price of seat and quite
another to convince the board of gov
errors that you possess the qualities
to pass muster. If Diogenes with his
lamp came to Wall street seeking an
honest man, possibly he wonld find
his quest much easier than he did in
ancient Greece, for in the curious
game that is played on the floor of
the exchange there may be no cheat
ing. There, at least, it must proceed
in accord with the unwritten laws
that prevail among men of honor. If
there is a deus ex machina in this
daily grind of serious horseplay, it is
the spirit of confidence In the swift
bargaining that goes forward there
can be no bond save that of a mans
word.
A glare is turned on a mans past
when he presents himself as a candi-
date for membership. Thegovernors
make searching inquiry concerning
his integrity as man and about his
financial standing. His application
is posted, and all who have light to
shed may borrow the ear Of the gov
errors. If charges of unftness are
preferred, the candidate has an oppor-
tunity to answer them. He is per-
mitted to present his side through
counsel. Should he do SO, the case
proceeds as it might in court of law.
When the decision is favorable, it is
in order for the eligible one to find
member who wants to sell his seat.
Usually, however, this detail is at
tended to in advance.

SINGLE BEDS FOR REAL REST.

1t single beds were more numerous
than they are, great many people
would be better off. When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless, out of sorts,
he or she ought to sleep alone and
not communicate by proximity the
maladies that affect him. The brute
creatures when sick go away by them
selves till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct a great
many human beings have. Those
that have it are best if INDUCED in it,
not to the slightest degree of neglect.
however. Where two children in a
family must share the same room in
a great many cases they would be
better off to have two single beds
rather than one wide double bed.
We can share great many things
with those we love, but solitude
clings to us from birth to death. We
come into the world alone, and we
must go out of it alone, and we live
i'll it alone, in a certain important
sense, and to get and keep our "bear-
ings" we must sometimes be left
alone. 1t is good that we should be.

No pressure yet reached destroys all bacteria.
Milk has been subjected recently to pressures
up to 100000 pound per square inch, but it was
not completely sterilized although brief COM
preston under 70 to 100 tons to the inch delayed
souring "a to so hours, and pressure of 80 tons
per inch for an hour caused the milk to keep
from four to six days. AS odd tastes and odors
were soon acquired, it seems that some kinds of
bacteria were killed while others survived the
tremendous squeezing.

ARE DESPERATELY POOR
Scramble For Coal in Boston
Which Almost Reached the
Proportions of a Riot.

New York. Dec. 11.-Hundreds of resi-
dents of the north end besieged the en-
frances to the yard of the Metropolitan
Coal company, Causway street, says a
dispatch in the Times from Boston, and
at one time there was a small-sized riot.
When the offices and yard were
opened, a crowd was gathered IN front
OF the building and as soon as the COM
pany's men began TO arrive these peo-
pie commenced the liveIiest kind Of a
scramble to get inside. So much trou-
BILE was caused by them in their fight
for a chance to get through the gates
that the Metropolitan employees decided
to haul a wagon load of coal in bags
out of the yard and distribute 1t from
the opposite side of the street in order
to draw a part of the crowd away. "A
large wagon was Immediately filled and
driven outside.
Hardly had the driver pulled up his
horses before the crowd was upon his
wagon Men and women pulled one
another and fought for a chance to get
at the coal. The patrolmen who were
on duty at the yard were called upon
and it was only with the greatest diff
ficulty and by using force that they
were able to keep the bags from being
stolen.
One patrolman jumped on the wagon
to save the coal and was thrown down
and pulled about by the women. One
woman had him by the back of his
belt and another jumped on his back,
bearing him to the bottom of the wag-
on. The policemen said he thought it
was their intention to keep him from
interfering until the coal had been re-
moved. However, this action was
checked by the arrival of other patrol
men and it kept them busy holding
down the bags until the wagon was
again inside of the gates.

dent that the people Of San Francisco
had erected a monument to cOmmemO-
rate Dewey's victory at Manila and the

Miss Clara Barton of the National
Red Cross society and Samuel W
Briggs, secretary of the society, also
saw the president to protest against
the removal of the service from San
Francisco to Seattle. They expressed
the belief that the removal would be

soldiers at San Francisco were supe-
rior to those at Seattle. They, too.
went TO the war department to see
Secretary Root about the matter.
