A Text That stumped Him.


81 once heard minister who boastad
from his pulpit that he was able to
preach from any text III the Bible Off
hand without thought or other prepa-
ration, and as Il test of his talent in eN-
temporaneous speaking he, invited lis
congregation the next Sunday morning
to hand in any texts they would like
him to preach from, when he would
show them what he was able to do"
relates the Chicago Record Herald. ''In
order that he might not be suspected of
surreptitious preparation the passages
Of Scripture We're to be written upon
slips Of paper, sealed up in envelopes
and placed upon the pulpit Immediate
ly before the opening of the service.
The next Sunday morning the pastor
came bounding in, pride and confidence
cleaning III his eyes, and found num-
Der of sealed envelopes lying upon the
big Bible. After the preliminary se:.y-
ice he called attention to them and said
he would preach from the text cLn-
tained in the envelope that lay on the
top of the pile. The remainder ne
would reserve for future Sabbatis
Tearing it open. he unfoided slip Of
paper and read the words once ad-
dressed to the prophet Balaam, Am

The Flemish Fi.hvsafe.

She is monstrous big creature, us
unrcstrained in her physical growth as
she is in her expression Of the smallest
or the largest emotion that stirs her.
Two of her walking side by side fill
the narrow street with broad cx-
panse Of hips which leaves no room
for anything else to squeeze past her.
Her back view is as imposing and Eot
unlike the mighty Flemish horse in
motion in front Of one. Her great
broad feet are comfortably bestowed In
wooden sabots that make a pleasing,
leisurely clatter as she moves majestic
ally along. Her massive chest is
crossed by the knitted shawl she al
ways wears. The strings of her apron
have never yet succeeded in reaching
clear about her waist. Her face, broad,
red, lightly wrinkled, as quick to tight
en- with anger as to broaden with
laughter, has never been shaded by a
hat nor schooled to conceal q thought
that moves her. Her hands IRE huge,
strong, quick. And her tongue!

The Ancient Hour.

The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, GUS
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from II. c. 2293, when sun
dial was erected i'll the temple of Quiri-
nus at Rome. Previous to the invention
of water clocks. b. G. 15S, tile time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one cNpedient of meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning an hour. The first per
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. d. 1850. Day began al
sunrise among most of the northern na-
tions, Mt sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, st midnight among the Ro.
mans, as with us.

Bad Spelling.

One of the causes to which the prev
alence Of bad spelling among the rising
generation is attributed is the fact that
the modern Roman method of pro-
nouncing Latin gives no direct indica-
tion of the pronunciation of the Eng
lish derivatives and so no cue to their
spelling. as the English sound Of Latin
words did when It was used.
