SCARED HIM INTO PREACHING.



In the early days of Methodism In

permitted TO have colleague" wh1

Thompson was a circuit rider In a
somewhat thinly settled portion OF cen,
tral Illinois more than fifty years ago.
The colleague assigned to him was
Brother James Smith, an excellent
young man, but with very little expert.
ence as preacher.
One Sunday Mr.. Thompson had an
appointment ut small meeting house
in the country, but having severe
cold he asked his young assistant to
so along with him and preach the ser.
mon, and the latter, as In duty bound,
obeyed orders.
Brother Smith had never undertaken
10 preach In the presence Of his more
experienced colaborer, and when, after
the opening services, he rose and gave
out his text, he was visIbly embar-
rassed.
He stammered through a few sen.
tences, hesltated, made another at.

Brother Thompson saw that the case
was one In which heroic measures
were necessary.

in his ear, ''you get up again and
preach that sermon, or I'll take you
out in the grove, after this meeting Is
over, and give you hard spanking,
as sure as your name is Smith,
An electric shock could not have
operated quicker. Brother Smith rose
TO his feet again, his hesitation all
gone, and in ringing tones he preached
sermon that is still remembered by
aged survivors Of that old-tlme con-
gregation as the most fervid and elo-
quent discourse they ever heard so
young a man deliver.

In one part of "all the Russlas," the
province of Ukraine, 1t is always leap
year as far as the female privilege of
proposing is concerned. 1t Is said to
be customary there, when young
woman falls in love with a man, for
her to so to his fathers house, and in
the most tender and pathetic manner
plead with the young man to take her
as his wife. She promises the most
submissive obedience to his will II he
will but accept her. Ii the young man
says: II beg that you will excuse me
from this" she tells him that she Is
resolved not to depart until he shall
promise to take her for better orworse.
She accordingly takes up ner abode
there and remains until he is wooed
and won or until he ends the siege by
fleeing to parts unknown.

Up to one and one-quarter inches a

A Vivid Imagination.

A furniture dealer tells little story
that shows how some people are consu-
tuted A lady ordered an elegant easy
chair of a peculiar kind. 1t was made
and sent to her house. She examined
it carefully and critically, finally re-
marking that 1t suited her exactly,
with one exception-it was too soft.
She sent the chair back to be made a
trifle harder. 1t was returned to the
shop and put aside Nothing was done
to it. After a lapse of about a week
the chair was sent out again. The lady
again examined it and now found it too
hard. She was sorry, but when she
paid so much to get an article for her
own comfort she wanted 1t just right,
so she sent it back to the shop for an
other change. The chair was again put
aside for week or ten days and sent
out for the third time without the least
alteration. This time 1t was just right.
She took the chair, paid for 1t and was
sorry 1t had not suited her at first. The
poor woman never knew that the chair
had not been changed particle.

Deceptions of wild Birds.

Falcons. hawks-the largest species
can compress their features and look
very slim If they think 1t necessary to
do so. As to the owls, they can hump
up into any position they think most
suitable. 1t is useless to look for these
self preserving traits In any of the
family kept in geological collections,
for the birds are so accustomed to see
large numbers of people passing and
repassing or standing in front of them
that they treat the whole matter with
perfect Indifference. They know that
at certain time their food will be
brought them and that they are other
wise perfectly safe. Then the raptores
in a wild state have a bloom on their
plumage like the bloom on bunch OF
grapes which is not often seen when
In captivity.
