A Joke On The Preacher.

Two mis.5hievous girls who are members
of church in country town figured
recently in Il laughable incident which is
quite good enough TO bear repeating. In
some way, known only to themselves, they
became possessed of the subject of the
minister $ Sunday morning sermon, and
thereupon set about selecting songs in
harmony with the theme. On Sunday
morning they were on hand bright and
early, looking innocent enough TO deceive
brace Of Pinkerton detectives One Of
them seated herself at the organ and played
.Fain, Yet Persaing, which was sung
as a voluntary. Then the minister arose,
and consulting the list which had been
given him, called tor number 1896. The
choir sang Almost Persuaded The
minister arose and announced the theme;
'.Cpurtship and Marriage, read the les
son aud called the next song The choir
sang Triumph at Last, and the con-
gregation began to hook amused. After
prayer sing number POL, said the min
ister, and in petition ask that the spirit of
leviiy, which possessed some of his hearers,
be- banished. Then the choir sang
Hasten Lord the Glorious day, and
everybody laughed Even the minister
had difficulty in sitting smile when the
choir struck up Behold the Bridegroom
Come,h, and the congregation became
positively hilarious As the organ Pealed
out the opening notes Of What Shall the
Harvest Be- And throughout these
wicked girls preserved their expression of
sanity innocence and afterwards decided
that it was the most peculiar and striking
coincidence they ever heard of

What the Jury Found.

Some years ago the body of well
dressed man was found in field on the
outskirts of an English town There were
no marks of violence, and it was doubtful
whether death had occurred from natural
causes or if the individual had committed
suicide
In due course the body was identified,
and gentleman who had been acquainted
with the deceased was called upon to give
evidence at the inquest
Among other things, he stated that he
had always considered him to be man of
marked idiosyncrasies, and his brain was
continually excited by his irresistible fond
ness for chimeraS of various kinds.
The jury was evidently satisfied with
his statement and immediately brought in
verdict that death was caused by lido
syncrasies forming ON the brain in conse-
quence of excessive indulgence in chime
ras, adding a rider that lit should be a
warning to people to refrain from that and
other intoxicating beverages.

Expensive Walnut Wood.
From the Chicago Record.

Indiana timber land, which was con-
sidered the best in the country, is being
so rapidly denuded of the once splendid
forests of hard wood timber that specula-
tors are seeing the advantage of gobbling
up everything that may be got in the way
of timber tracts.
The walnut and hickory of Indiana and
Ohio are considered the best that can be
had and the monster poplars which once
formed the nucleus for the log heap fire
are now worth Individually more as they
stand than the acres they occupy will bring
when cleared, many poplar tree selling
for s100 before the axe touches it.
The walnut that was once so plentiful
that barn timbers, house sills, fence rails,
etc, were made from it is becoming ex-
eeedingly scarce, and curled walnut stumps
have brought almost fabulous prices, while
hickory of the shellbark variety can scarce
ly be found in some of the best sections.
Last year purchase by Goshen, Ind,
firm of fifty-fve standing walnut trees
near the northern Indiana line for $40, 900
and the handsome sum they made out of
the handling Of this rare ehump of trees
have proved an incentive in the search for
timber in other directions. Grant county
furnished a notable instance in the sale of
1000 acres of virgin forest in the Wood
tract, the last large forest in Indiana, for
500, 600. A New York firm bought the
walnut timber where it stood for S55, 900;
400 acres of land, the timber being re-
served by the seller, sold for $40, 900, and
there remain 630 acres of the best timber
in Indiana, the walnut alone being sold
from it The buyers will clear $50, 600
by their deal in that timber.
Where years ago the lumbermen went
only for large tracts, they are now con-
tent with individual trees and wherever
there is notably fine forest monarch of
the desirable variety, its whereabouts be-
comes widely known and the competition
to secure it is very sharp.

A Hot Bath to Bring Sleep.

\ hot bath will bring sleep. Suppose
a person be so tired out by overwork of
any kind as to feel nervous, irritable and
worn, to be absolutely certain that bed
means only tossing for hours in an unhappy
wakefullness Eve all know this condition
of the body and mind) turn on the hot
water in the bathroom and soak in the hot
bath until the drowsey feeling comes, which
will be within three minutes; turn on cold
water until it becomes tepid; then rub
yourself with coarse Turkish towel until
the body is perfectly dry and then go to
bed. You will sleep the sleep of the just
and rise in the morning wondering how
you could have felt so bad the night be-
fore. The bath has saved many a one
from sleepless night if not from a severe
headache the next morning.

Heard Him Preach.

| A hard featured man, dressed in a new
suit of very cheap black, called at the
house of well known clergyman and upon
giving his name was invited to take seat
in the gentleman study.
II have few days to spend in town,
said the visitor, s'and I did not want to
leave without calling and paying my re-
spects to you. have heard you preach
many time
"Yes, said the parson, beginning to
take an interest in the visitor.
II like your preaching, and, though [
do not belong to your church, yet | must
say you preach the best sermon | ever
heard -
"Ges, said the person.
There are 50 very few good preachers
now, very few in whose uprigh tness we
can place trust. that when we meet one of
the right kind We like to express our ap-
probation.
Yes, the good man repeated, and as
the bell tinkled he rose and said, Come,
my friend, and take some lunch with me. -
The visitor was only too happy and g,
seated at the table, began to eat with an
ayidity that attracted his host attention
You say that you have heard me
preach many time, remarked the min
ister.
"Oh, yes, the man replied, conveying
an ample allowance OF mashed potatoes to
his mouth.
Il don ever remember seeing you at
my church | suppose you have heard
me in the country.
NO, said the visitor, helping himself
to beans, mot in the country.
Certainly not in town.

THIS BAD OLD WORLD.


There's plenty of good in this bad old world,
In spite of what cyuics say.
There's many hanL held out to help
Another on his way.
The world is selfish the world Is cold
And its idol is success;
Yet it often steps aside for fear
On the fallen it will press.
There's many hero gives up his life
In humble duty done.
With no hope of glory to shrine his name
Past the setting Of the sun.
Dearly the world loves dollars and yet.
in spite of its grasp and greed.
There's many dollar freely spent
On the widow and orphans need
Bad a. 1t is, with its vice and sin,
