who seem to delight in springing sur- prises on "the common people''-those who give utteranee to fragmentary sem tences which at first glance would seem to indicate an attack on the faith, but which when closely analysed are, after all, old statements dressed up" and presented in an attractive way. God power and mercy. as well as His im- minenee. were dWelt upon, and many helpful lessons were brought out.
 The presence and helpfulness of the Holy Spirit in guiding us and leading us to the truth was also referred to. and the speaker. in broad and liberal spirit, stated his convictions that God is continually appealing to the con- science, through His Spirit, and in every land and among all peoples, His beneficent work is going on and shall continue to move the hearts of the chil- dren of men until all shall know Him from the least to the greatest, and peo- pie and realm of every tongue dwell on His name with sweetest song.

IN OLD BONAVENTURF,

Rarely does one drive for pleasure in a cemetery, least of all in the winter months. Yet 8 visit to Savannah in January or February is incomplete without one drive through this old burial ground with it's avenues of mag nif1cent live oaks, and its masses of the pink, red and white wax-like blos- sorns of the camelia, And as if this in midwinter was not beauty enough, the unaccustomed eye fingers upon the filny veil of Spanish moss which hangs in grey festoons from the dropping branches, and Esways in the breezes which are soft as early spring. /,
 Savannah used to be way down south," but times have changed, Now the lively city with it's souvenirs of the "old days and its stirring life of to- day, means but luxurious three days journey down the coast. No finer coastwise steamers ply these waters than those of the Savannah line, and from the deck of one of them one says goodbye to winter as the gleam of Barnegat light fades away in the cold gray twilight. Turning within, the WdTfuLI1, llSuL anu GOltiloiL u lHe great ship is a pleasant foretaste of the two or three days to follow. By morning the southern sun has made life on deck a luxury, and until, steaming in past Tyber Island of war memories, the steamer anchors in the Savannah river, the voyage is a. constant pleasure.
 Time only lags while waiting for the call to meals, for the sea appetite is proverbial and the cuisine of these ships is unsurpassed.
 It is conceded by all travellers that there is no more beautiful southern city than Savannah. and one may well re- main there for weeks or, with every rail and steamer facility for reaching all points of interest, 1t may be made simply a starting point for further ex- cursions, to be visited again, as one re- turns to take the steamer for the north. The ships of this.line sail four times a week, making the voyage between New York and Savannah in seventy hours.
 Send for booklets and information to Sweezey & Kelsey, 1O2 Center street. who, supply tickets by every known line of steamers to every known port.

Read Over This Test and Then Con-
suit Your Dictionary.
The following rather curious piece of
composition was placed upon the black
board at a certain teachers institute
and a prize Of dictionary offered to
any person who could read it and pro-
nounce every word correctly. The book
was not carried off, as twelve was the
lowest number of mistakes in pronun-
citation made:
"a sacrilegious son of Belial who has
suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances in order to make
good the deficit, resolved to ally him
self to a comely, lenient and docile
young lady of the Malay or Caucasian
race. He accordingly purchased CALI
ope and coral necklace of a chameleon
hue and securing a suit of rooms at a
principal hotel he engaged the head
waiter as his coadjutor. He then dis
patched a letter of the most unexcep-
tional caligraphy eXtant inviting the
young lady to matinee. She revolted
at the idea, refused to consider herself
sacrificable to his desires and sent a
polite note Of refusal, on receiving
which he procured carbine and bowie
knife, said that he would not now
forge fetters. hymeneal with the queen
and went to an isolated spot severed
his jugular vein and discharged the
contents Of the carbine into his alb
domen. The debris was removed by
the coroner"

The Triumphant Spider.

A little garter snake about five inches
long went to sleep in wheelwright
shop, and a big black spider spun a
web around the reptile. When the lit
tie snake awoke it was literally in the
tolls and began to struggle, 1t finally
managed to free It's body, but not its
head. Meanwhile the spider was in
dustriously spinning fresh threads,
stopping occasionally to give the snake
bite. Then the real fight commenced
and lasted for an hour. The snake
could not get away, but it tried its best
to bite the spider, without avail. Weak
ened by its futile efforts and the sue
cessive stings Of the insect, it gradual
ly ceased to struggle and finally died
Then the spider, presumably triumph
ant, disappeared under the wall.

The Buttered Side.

A woman who is close observer of
children was out walking in the coun=
try one day, she relates, when she saw
a little girl with solemn big blue eyes
sitting on a doorstep munching huge
slice Of bread and butter. The only
popularity about the operation was
that she was holding the buttered side
of the bread toward the ground.
"Why do you hold your bread and
butter that way?" asked the lady.
"Tause," whispered the little maiden
conf1dentially, mamma says bwead
always falls butter side down, so If
you hold it butter side down to start
Wit and then dwop it, why, of course,
It falls butter side up"

A Question of Science.

'I remember when 1 was a student
at Wyoming seminary" said a clergy
man, "a farmer came to Kingston to
visit his nephew, whom he was edu-
eating.
1.-THE farmer had no urban polish.
His tea when it was brought was very
hot, and he poured it in his saucer, to
his nephew's great modification.
Finally, unable to restrain himself.
the nephew was so rude as to say:
"'Uncle, why do you pour your tea
in the saucerP
"The old farmer looked up in sur
prise. Then he said in a loud, hearty
voice:
"'To cool it, to be sure The more
air surface you give it the quicker it
cools. These here modern seminaries
don't teach much science, do theyP"

HE LOVED THE THEATER.
Parces and Clowns Were the Joy OF
George III. of England.


Few men of any rank or time have
ever derived so much unaffected pleas
ure from the theater as George III.
In fact, in the words of a contempo-
rary, it was "as good as a play to hear
the royal laughter and note the genu-
Inc enjoyment of his majesty" HE
is said," Thackeray wrote, mot to
have cared for Shakespeare or tragedy
much. Farces and pantOmimes were
his JOY, and especially when the clown
swallowed carrot or a string of sau-
sages he would laugh so outrageously
that the lovely princess by his side
would have to say, My gracious, mon
arch, do compose yourselfp And he
continued to laugh and at the very
smallest farces as long as his poor wits
were left him.
SO frequent were Georges visits to
the theater that "his face was the most
familiar in London to playgoers, who
took no more notice of his presence
than If he had been a simple citizen,
except when his boisterous laughter
drew attention to him and started 9th
ers laughing out of irresistible infec-
don." As familiar spectacle as that
of his majesty purple and rolling with
laughter was to see him sleeping as
peacefully as child between the acts.
So partial was he to actors that he
permitted and even smiled at liberties
which he would have resented in any
one else. On one occasion, when Par
sons was playing in ''The Siege of Ca
lais," the actor walked toward the box
In which George was sitting and ad-
dressed him in the words of his part:
"An the king were here and did not
admire my scaffold would say: Hang
him! He has no taste,'" piece of i'm
pudence which threw his majesty into
a fit of aughter.-London Tit-Bits.
