Tale of TWO BADGERS.

Two French peasants, accompanied
by a dog. happened one day to start
a badger, to which the dog gave chase.
The animal hid beneath a tree, but 1t
was got out and killed. Az the COM
mune, or parish, gave reward for
slain badgers the peasants proposed
to convey It to the nearest village. a
fow miles off. Making rope of tough
twigs, they dragged It behind them,
By and by the squeal of an animal
was heard and they then saw another
badger following them. Although
they attempted to drive IL away II
took no notice of them, but came up
to the dead badger and began to lick
it, The men now gave up trying tn

STORY OF A sow.
Circumstances Under which che
"Three Fishers" Was Written.

Circumstances Under Which The
"Three Fishers" Was Written.
Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers" as a result of the many sad
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror in particular lived In
his memory, day as he described 1t,
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns Of the water spouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale; and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy
even from those iron walls Of rock
than from the pitiless bowling waste
Of spray behind them; and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrieking women and old men. casting
themselves on the pebbles. In fruit
less agonies of prayer, as corpse after
corpse swept up ut the feet Of wife
and child, till In one case alone q
single dawn saw upward of sixty
widows and orphans weeping over
those who had gone out the night be-
fore In the fullness of strength and
courage" These scenes lived ever
IN MS mlnu.
But the Three Fishers" was writ.
| ten as result Of one of the strangest
incidents In the stormy career of the
| preacherauthor. In 1851 he preached
| a sermon In London church on THE
Message of the Church to the Labor
ing Man" At its close the vicar rose
and denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield
forbade Kingsley to preach again In
his diocese, until, having read the
sermon and seen its author, he with
drew the edict. The same night upon
| which he delivered his discourse
Kingsley went to his home weary.
There had nearly been riot In the
church. Sick at heart, he retired to
his study. When he reappeared he
handed to his family his immortal
song; 'as though 1t were the out
come of it all" as his wife said.

the sea one gets an enchanting vision
Of churches, palaces. houses and ter
raced gardens. In the heart of all this
splendor the inevitable electric street
car runs. These lines come to com.
mon center at the Garibaldi statue, In
the Piazza de Ferrari. Genoa also has
its university. its hospitals. the larg-
est theater in Italy and its cathedral
dates from the year 9S5.
1t requires five hours in an express
train to reach Rome from Genoa, and
twice as long to reach the Eternal
City from Naples. The tourist natur-
ally Is usually inclined to spend the
time to make journey to one Of the
wonder cities of the world.
Naples. on its beautiful bay. is ever
associated with Vesuvius, whose
smoking cone is striking figure In
the background. The trip up the vol.
cano is neither difficult nor particular
ly dangerous except at times well
known in advance, and visit to the
excavatcd city of Pompeii is only a
short journey.
After Naples, the wizard Isle OF
Capri is usually visited. Here the
inhabitants are practically supported
by the income from tourists. who
number about 10000 a year.
Palermo, the beautiful city on the
island of Sicily, and the British Isle
of Malta, are likely to be visited. II
one has Egypt as an objective.
This is the best time of year for a
trip up the Nile, although one will find
much of curious interest In Alexan
dria. the home of the Khedive, OF
Cairo, the old capital. Here the tour
list finds himself in the land OF the

Preachers Opinion on Prepared and
Extemporaneous Sermons.
Apropos of the question OF the
best way to prepare sermon Rev.
G. Campbell Morgan. the great Eng

ing told the following story to a class
of Bible students at the Mccormick
Seminary:
AN aspiring young curate once ask
ed an old preacher II 1t were better to
write out a sermon or to preach ex-
temporaneously. The venerable clergy
man, who was noted for his rambling
discourses. replied My son, never
write out your sermon, for the devil

Moles and Cattle.

Farmers used to think that moles
were bad for the fields where their
herds grazed. but this opinion seems
to be no longer held. II the creatures
sometimes ate grass roots, they also
gobbled up insects and grubs which
did great mischief to all green stuff.
So the moles did some good. A coun.
try laborer told that they were valu-
able animals because they ate up the
worms. When they have cleared of
the grubs and worms in one district
they depart to another. 1t was this
mans belief that grass grew better
in localities which had been thus
worked over by moles. and was. In.

On the African coast. But even II the

the route lays to Gibraltar, the ma
testic rocky guardian Of the entrance
to the Mediterranean.
Once at Gibraltar there lie little
trips and tours at every hand. One
can run up to Granada and view the
dream of a palace erected there by
the Moors-the Alhambra-or one
can take ship across to Algiers,
where France is dominant, but has
not sought to interfere with its de-
