A German clergyman who was trav-
cling stopped at a hotel much frequent
ed by wags and jokers. The host, not
being used to having clergyman at
his table, looked at him with surprise.
The guests used all their raillery Of
wit upon him without eliciting re-
mark. The clergyman ate his dinner
quietly, apparently without observing
the gibes and sneers of his neighbors,
One of them, at last, in despair at his
forbearance, said to him: "Well, won

Lunfolatry In China.

In China the practice Of luniolatry
exists at the present day and is of very
early origin. The chief festival, that
Of Yueping, or moon cakes, is held dur
ing the eighth month Of the Chinese
year. Persons make cakes Of various
sizes in the shape of the moon and
paint different figures upon them
Friends and relatives pay visits to one
another, give entertainments and pre-
sent their cakes after making protes-
tations and pouring out oblations to
the moon.
1t is very remarkable that verse of
one of the Jewish prophets should be
explained by this Chinese custom
"The children gather wood" said the
seer, "and the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women knead their dough to
make cakes to the queen of heaven"

WEAK IN THE ALPHABET.
some Letters That Men Can Never
Learn to Make.


"Why is it that with some men some
letters Of the alphabet are harder to
make than others and, in fact, that
there are some letters that some men
never learned how to maker asked
young man who takes considerable In
terest in the matter Of handwriting In
the New Orleans Times Democrat. ut
Is a rather singular fact that nearly
every man outside of the experts is
weak on one or more Of the letters in
the English alphabet. Sometimes the
letter involved is n capital letter; some
times 1t is of the smaller kind; some
times 1t Is one letter and sometimes
another. In any event, you will hnd
few men who are exempt from the fail
ing referred to.
81 know of one man who in spite or
the fact that he does a great deal OF
writing has never learned how to make
q capital P. He simply makes stag
ger at it. and, as a rule, the result of
his efforts will look more like q small
p than like the capital P. I know an
other man who can't make a small
to save his life. He can never get the
lower part of the letter below the line.
He makes it look like clubfooted b
instead of an f. There are others who,
when they try to make the small b,
give 1t the long shank, and 1t looks
more like the letter f. 1t is rather SIN
gulhr that these traits should hang on
to a mans writing for a lifetime, but
they do 1t just the same, and If you
make a few inquiries among your
friends and acquaintances you will find
that but few Of them are exempt from
this fault.
at is very much like the habit OF
spelling certain words incorrectly.
Many men who are rated as first class
spoilers pass through life without ever
in a single instance spelling certain
words correctly. It Is due to habit
largely. II you should ask them how
to spell the word. they would tell you,
but, when they go to write 1t, that is
quite different, and they will get it
wrong every time. SO they know, too,
how certain letters should be made, but
they simply can't put them down on
paper. 1t is a curious but common
fault"

Gen. A. w. Gilchrist of Punta
Gorda, candidate for speaker of the
House of Representatives in the
state legislature was in the city last
Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday
he was the guest of DIR. and Mrs.
Sprague at dinner. Gen. Gilchrist
is interviewing members-elect on
the matter of his candidacy. He is
popular man in all parts of the
state, and should it so happen that
he is called upon to preside over the
House he will perform the duties
with honor and becoming dignity.
The concert at V. I. AZ Hall last
Friday night was most delightful
and successful affair. The atten-
dance was large and every number
on the program was filled with in

four readings; Prof. Morse gave an
illustrated talk on "Ants and Their
Intellect;" Mrs. r. G. Williams
gave a vocal solo; the Misses Hutch
inson rendered two piano duets, and
the Misses Morse gave number on
the banjo and guitar. The audience
was delighted with all features of
the entertainment, especially the
talk of Prof. Morse.
Hon. ]. H. Harp is at Hastings in
attendance upon the Farmers Insti-
tute and at which he is scheduled
for a speech on some feature of farm
economy. Mr.. Harp is practical
farmer who has probably made as
much of success in the work as Of
ten comes to one in Florida, and it is
an encouraging sign when the pro-
mOters of Farmers Institutes seek
teachers from his class. The theo-
retical farmer is all right in a purely
wind-jamming contest, but when it
comes to real hclpfulness, one word
from the practical man is worth
more than a column of condensed

The Traveller Wanted a Towel ana
Finally Got II.
A. II. Savage Landor, In his book Of
hRvel, ACROSS Coveted Lands" re-
lates an amusing railway incident that
occurred In Russia while he was en-
route to Persia.
Unable to get at my towels packed
in my registered baggage and ignorant
of the Russian language" he says, "I
inquired Of polyglot fellow passenger
what was the Russian word for towel
so that could ask the guard for one.
'Palatiensi,' said he, and 1 repeated
'palatiensi, palatiensi, palatiensi,' so
as to impress the word we'll upon my
memory. Having enjoyed a good wash
and shampoo and dripping all over
with water, | rang for the guard, and
| sure enough, when the man came |
could not recollect the word. At last 1t
dawned upon me that it was 'palatln-
ski and paIatienskP asked of the
guard. To my surprise the guard
smiled graciously, and, putting on a
HuOuSSI ar Ieplleui IdldIuShl met,
Daruskt cI do not speak Latin, speak
only RussianD, and the more l repeat
ed 'palatinski,' putting the infection
now on one syllable, then on the other,
to make him understand, the more fat
tered the man seemed to be, and mod
estly gave the same answer.
"Thls was incomprehensible to me un.
til my polyglot fellow passenger came
to my assistance. DO you know what
you are asking the guardP he said in
convulsions Of laughter. Yes, l am
asking for palatinski-a towel No,
you are notv and he positively went
into Mysteries. Palatinski means do
you speak Latin?" How can you ex-
pect Russian railway guard to speak
Latin? Look how incensed the poor
man is at being mistaken for a Latin
scholar! Ask him for palatiensi, and
he will run for 4 towel
'"The man did run on the magic word
being pronounced and duly returned
with nice clean palatiensi, which,
however, was of little use to me, for l
had by this time got dry by the natural
processes Of dripping evaporation"
