An Effective Sample.

A clergyman was very fond OF par.
ticularly hot brand Of pickles, and,
finding great difficulty in procuring
the same sort at hotels when travelling
always carried bottle with him. One
day when dining at a restaurant with
bis pickles in front Of him, . stranger
sat down at the some table and with
an American accent presently asked
the minister to pass the pickles. The
minister, who enjoyed the joke, politely
passed the bottle, and in few minutes
had the satisfaction Of seeing the Yam
kee watering at the eyes and gaspine
for breath.
"I guess" said the latter, "tha,
you are parsonf"
"Yes. my friend, am" replied the
minister.

Yankee.
"Yes, sir; I preach twice a weel

"Do you ever preach about he'll

"Yes; I sometimes consider il my

"The Mayor OF Chicago is Edward

No one to care for me-
Just q homeless dog of leisure,
Just the kind you often see
But Pm thankful for the blessings,
And Pm glad my lot amt worse
l might have been a poodle,
With woman for a nurse.
Oh, you measly little poodle
Baby ribbons in your hair
Put on dog, just like human,
The way you're sitting there.
Have you bathed in perfumed water?
Mamma combs your curly locks?
Go out riding in your carriage
See the opera from the box?
Oh you watery-eyed imposter!
Oh, you dude! You pink-eyed fopl
Why, single flea, I'm certain,
Would fairly make you hop.
You are tucked away at evening
With your grouty misery,
In q nightie and cradle,
Where baby ought to be.
They call you lovey-dove and sweetsie
Oh, you curly headed pup!
Just come down from off the carriage
And watch me eat you up!
Why, you pop-eyed little poodle,
Would trade my place with yon?
BOw-wow! No wouldn't I do it
If you threw the nurse In too.
Yes, I know I'm full of sorrow-
Full of fleas and all OF that
Got no home and have to hustle
In the alley with the cat;
But I'm happy, oh, SO happy!
That my lot it amt no worse
That wasn't born q poodle,
With q woman for nurse.

STORK SWIFTEST OF BIRDS.
Makes Journey Of 2.400 Miles at the Rate
Of 100 Miles an Hour.

There are certain species of ducks
that are given the credit by naturalists
OF being the fleetest of winged crea-
lures. Recently, however, it has been
ascertained that the learned men were
in error, and the stork is found to out
strip by far all denizeus of the air in
speed. After an exhaustive survey of
the field it is now declared that no
living thing, not even a scared jack
rabbit, can travel with the speed dis
played by such birds as the stork and
the northern bluethroat. Not only do
these birds fly with speed that can
hardly be conceived, but they keep up
their rapid flight for 1000 or 1000
miles at a stretch without apparently
firing.
Evidence has been collected recent.
ly which shows that the bluethroat
flies from central Africa to the shores
of the North sea, a distance of 1000
miles, in less than a day and q night,
and making it, moreover, in one unin.
terrupted fight.
The storks which spend their sum-
mers in Austria. Hungary and their
winters in India and Central Africa,
are also marvellous travellers and make
their journeys twice year in un.
broken flight each time. From Buda.
Pesth, in Hungary, to Lahore, in
India, is 2,400 miles in an air line, and
the storks make the journey in "a
hours, thus travelling at the rate of
100 miles an hour for the whole dis
tance. The stork which spend the
summer in central Europe and winter
in central Africa travel with the same
rapidity.

Silver spoons and forks which are

A good layer OF newspapers under

from moths, which have a strong
objection to printers ink, and will not

every time the carpet is taken up.
F.w people, except trained nurses,

Hymns You Ought to Know
PERFECT PEACE.
BY Edward Henry Bickersteth.

S~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edward Henry Bickerstetch, London,
Jan. p, 1925, an English Episcopalian,
who was created Bishop of Exeter in
1885,. is the author of one sustained relig-
ious poem, Yesterday, To-day and For
ever" of the hvmnal companion to the
"Book of Common Prayer" and of a
number of hymns. "Perfect Peace is
specially noteworthy as being the favor
ite hymn of Queen Victoria, being often
sung by request in the services which
she attended. While this is one OF the
new hymns, having been written but a
few years, it is finding place in all the
standard collections and its growing pop
ularity will probably give it permanent
place amongst the great hymns. 1t is
usually sung to the stately tune Pax
Tecum."
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world
of sin?
The blood OF Jesus whispers peace within
pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surg
ing roundy
On Jesus bosom nought but peace is
found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far
away?
In Jesus keeping, we are safe and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all un-
known?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us
and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its
powers.
1t is enough; earth's struggles soon shall
cease,
And Jesus call us to heavens perfect
peace.

A raft containing 10000, 900 feet of
logs was successfully towed from the
Columbia river to San Francisco, last
week.
An entire Indian village was wiped
out in a landslide near Spence's bridge,
on the Canadian Pacific railway, q
few days ago, when practically the
whole top of a mountain slid into the
Thompson river. Eighteen natives
we're killed and many wounded while
a vast tract was flooded by the i'm
prisoned waters.
An active volcano was discovered in
Humboldt county, Nevada, by cattle
men making a roundup, the other
day. An area a quarter of mile in
diameter has been covered by lava,
which is still in active flow. That the
region is one of recent volcanic dis.
turbance, probably accounts for its un-
known existence.
The employment OF women nurses
for the control of the violently insane
of both sexes, has been given thor
ough trial at the asylum in Peoria
county, ILL.,, and DR.. Cellar, the Super
intendent, reports that the plan has
been great success. He argues that
women have the respect of the male
patients, no matter how wild the latter
may become, and are quiet when the
presence Of male attendants rouses
them to great fury.
After taking measurements of the
height of the women in France, Eng

that the English woman is the tallest,
and that the American comes next.
The average height Of the French wo-
man is five feet, one inch. The Amer.
ican woman is nearly two inches taller
and the women of Great Britain half
an inch taller than the latter. Amer
ican women, however, weigh slightlv
more than either OF the others, their
average weight being about lit pounds.
Professor Toyokichi Ivenegs, a ia.
pansse lecturer in Chicago, in dis
coursing on "The Rise OF Japan" last
week, claimed that that country had
the highest civilization in the world.
" It has," he said, emo strikes, no labor
unions, no billionaires, no trusts, no
cable cars, no baseball, football or golf
and no profane words in its language"
1t looks, however, if all these things
are handicap upon civilization, as if
it were counterbalanced by the amp
litude and wire.fence aggressiveness OF
Japanese proper names, of which the
Professors affords an example, when
such simple appellations as Smith,
Brown and Jones are available.
1t is thought that the Navy Depart
ment will ask an appropriation for an.
other dry-dock on this coast and that
it will probably be located on Puget
Sound. The naval authorities are
unanimous in declaring there is an
immediate need for better docking ia
cilities on the Pacific, and are equally
unanimous in believing it unwise to
build such dock at Mare Island navy
yard, because OF the bad channel ap.
proaches. If another dock is author.
lied it is preferred that it be loca ted at
Bremerton, on the Sound. The only
thing to check this recommendation
will be adverse action by Congress,
which may deem it inadvisable, in
view of the condition of the treasury,
to seek money for the dock at this
time.
