ombstone Epitaph.

Graham county Jail, at Clifton,
Ariz., is probably the most unusual in
America. 1t comprises four large
apartments hewn in the side of . hill
of solid quartz rock. The entrance to
the Jail is through box-like vestibule,
built OF heavy masonry, and equipped
with three sets Of gates of steel bars.
Here and there in the rocky walls
holes have been blasted for windows,
and in these apertures q series OF mas.
sive bars Of steel have been firmly
fitted in tho rock. The floor OF the
rockbound Jail is of cement, and the
prisoners are confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In some places
the wall OF quartz about the Jail is
fifteen feet thick. Some Of the most
desperate criminals on the southwest
border have been confined in the
Clifton jail, and 30 solid and heavy are
the barriers to escape that no one
there has ever attempted to make q
break for freedom. The notorious
Black Jack was there for months.

Tea Smoking.

II has been recorded on good author.
ity that one of the early uses made of
dried tea leaves was to smoke them
after the manner of tobacco.
On the first introduction of tea into
Europe, in the seventeenth century,
pipes, especially in France, were fire..
quently filled with tea, at least among
the wealthier classes of society, to
whom on account of its high price it
was alone accessible, and the fumes of
the leaf were thus enjoyed, like tobac.
co, without prejudice to the use ordi.
narily made Of it as a beverage.
Blegny, French physician OF the
time, in work published in 1857 and
quoted in LIE Grand d'Aussy's "His.
toire de Ia Vie Privee des Francais," :"
has reference to this practice of
smoking tea, which was then, as he
affirms, frequent and popular fash.
ion.

a great mistake. The proud old
descendants Of the CAROLS, the War
fields, the Toms, the Howards, and
many others, will never countensnce
the policy" in any way.
A church paper says, Health is the
gift OF God" l don't believe a word
of that. Health is the gift of correct
habits and depends to very large de-
gree on the parent stock. And that
reminds US OF another expression in
Jthe same article: "Our daily bread is
rom His hand" If a man sat down
and waited for his daily bread from
God he would starve to death. 1t is
singular that papers will publish such
trash, that is meaningless.
So many fool utterances by college
professors and preachers are giving
publication, that it is comforting to
find quotation that is sensible. Said
Bishop Fowler, Of the Methodist
church: "Never marry woman
because she is pioua. If it is put to
you, to choose between a woman who
has a great deal of common sense and
no religion, and q woman who has
plenty of religion and no common
sense choose the common sense" To
which say, Amen.
The Green Brier Presbytery OF West
Virginia has passed the following
resolutions: "That it is the solemn
and painful conviction of this Presby-
terry that some of the brethren are de.
parting from the time.honored Gus.
tom OF their fathers and wearing bob
tail coats. The Presbytery would
hereby warn the brethren against con-
formity with the custom of dudes"
Come to think of it, however, there
may be deep significance in the new
movement. Some of the ministers
are not only cutting off the tails Of
their coats. Some of them are cutting
off the tails of their creeds. And in
this also they are departing from the
time.honored custom OF their faith.
ers." Bob.tailed theology may 60
with the bob-tailed coats. Aye, there's
the rub.

The Noble DOG.

A wild cry Of alarm rang out.
Little Mildred Gumboyle, the fair
haired pet of the millionaire, had ven.
tured too near the brink of the raging
stream and had fallen into the water.
"Save my childp he shrieked.
Seated on the steps of the hotel We.
randa was Colonel Hankthunder. At
his feet lay a large and magnificent
Newfoundland dog.
BE calm, suh," he said to the dis
tracted millionaire. "My dog: will
save your child. Rovah !"-and he
spoke to the animal" Good boy! TO
the rescued"
Rover rose slowly, shook himself,
walked leisurely to the bank, looked at
the struggling form of the little girl,
and shook his large, magnificent head
Whereat, with q muttered curse,
Colonel Hankthunder rolled up his
trousers, waded in, and saved the child
himself.
