The Reformed Gambler.

A reformed gambler from Ohio
went to Washington when Hoke
Smith was secretary of the interior
and, saying that he had forsaken
games of chance, sought employ
ment. A friend introduced him to
Hoke Smith, stating his case. Mr..
Smith listened attentively and then
said:
u will do what l can. | viii look
into the vacancies and see if I can
place him. | would ike to give him
a chance very much"
All this time the reformed gam
bier had been standing quietly, ey-
ing the secretary. After Smith had
finished he stepped forward and
said:
"Now, see here, Hoke. old boy.
Tell me if this is right. If you kin
give me a job lenme know, but if
you can't femme know, too, for
can't afford no time to be stayin'
here in this sort of way dublin

The VetY EarIiost Coins.

No one knows exactly when or
where the original coin was
''struck" or what metal was used.
Certain passages in Homer would
lead to the inference that brass was
coined as early as the year 1884
B. c. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early
as the year 1870 B. c., but Herodo-
tus, the acknowledged "father of
history" is of the opinion that the
Lydians "inycnted" coins some time
during the ninth century B. G. One
OF the oldest coins now known is
a gold daric, coined by the Persians
during the reign of Darius. On
one side OF This coin is a BUST Of
Darius and Oh the other side a
figure of kneehng archer.

She Knew About Peter.

A visiting pastor was examining
the Sunday school of Germantown
church a few Sundays ago and had
ASKED the c!aoa just in ifont of him
IT any member of it could tell any,
thing about the Apostle Peter. A
little girl with a precocious face
raised her hand. "Come mp here,
my little lady" said the minister.
u am much gratified to see that
you have remembered your lesson.
Now tell the school what you know
about Peter" The little tot was
quite willing to show off her knowl-
edge and commenced, Peter, Peter,
pumpkin eater, had a wife and
couldn't keep her; put her in a.
The school never heard where he
put her on account of the general

Ancient Breton Custom.

In Brittany a quaint and very
beautiful custom of Christmas giv-
ing is still preserved from very an
cient times. When the country folk
go to the midnight mass, the open
ing mass of Christmas day, they all
carry lanterns to. light them on
their way. Upon their arrival at
the church they give their lanterns
over to the poor old women of the
parish, who are gathered in crowd
outside the church awaiting them.
The worshipers enter the sacred
building and then attend to the de-
votions, which the church teaches
should be Of especial fervor at this
holy season. But when the mass
is ended and they are dismissed with
the benediction they come forth to
find the patient old women awaiting
them outside the church bearing the
lanterns. The lanterns are given
back to their owners, and as each
takes his own he exchanges for it
piece of money. The value of the
piece varies, but the aims is always
considerable.

He Knew Mrs. Barker.

The Barkers possessed three
large, intelligent tortoise shell cats,
and sometimes as many as three
families Of kittens. Mrs. Barker
was much too tender hearted to
drown or chloroform the superfuous
kittens, yet she could not keep them
all; consequently she devoted much
time and thought to finding happy
homes for the tortoise shell progeny.
One spring the daughter of a neigh
Dor, who had moved some years
previously to another town, hap
pened to pay Mrs. Barker a visit
As the little visitor was about to
depart, Mrs. Barker exclaimed sud
denly:
'By the way, Alice, wouldn't you
like a kitten to take home with
you?"
'Pd like it," returned Alice, visit
fully, ''but the very last thing father
said when I came away was, Alice,
whatever else you do, don't bring
home any cats youths Com

The Last Bulletin,

The editor Of a newspaper in a
small eastern town had occasion to
visit Washington a day or two after
President Mckinley was shot and
was greatly impressed by the bulle-
tin boards containing The hourly
condition of the president. Imme-
diately after his return he had a
bulletin board made and placed in
front of his Office. For awhile he
had no use for the board, but the
opportunity came when Deacon
Jones, one Of the leading men of
the town, became i'll. The following
is the way the board appeared:
Monday, 10 a. m.-Deacon Jones
quite sick.
Monday, p. m.-Deacon Jones
has slight rally.
Monday, 5 p. m.-Deacon Jones
worse.
Tuesday, . a. H1.-Deacon Jones
very much worse-family has been
summoned.
Tuesday, II a. m.-Deacon Jones
has died and gone to heaven. Fu-
neral at 3.
When the mourners returned
from the funeral they were startled
by another notice made by wag-
gSsh travelling man:
Tuesday, 5 p. m.-Great excite
ment III heaven. Deacon Jones not

HE TURNED TINE LAUGH.
+ Quick Witted Orator Who Was
Equal to the Occasion.

An orator who was equal to an
! emergency was the late George A.
Sheridan, who was noted spell
binder" often engaged by the Re-
publican national committee. At q
big meeting lie was addressing in q
town near New York he was intro
duced by Mr.. O'Brien, the chair
man, in most tlattering terms. In
order to reciprocate Mr.. Sheridan
paid glowing tribute to the ster-
ling qualities of the chairman and
wound up the eulogy by asserting
that no man could say Mr.. O'Brien
owed him a cent.
"He owes me $3p came a keen
Celtic voice from the rear of the
audience.
1t was almost solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience
started to laugh and jeer. Rallying,
the speaker said: "Don't be alarm
ed. good friends. I will answer that
man presently" This assertion was
to gain time and if possible have
the audience forget the incident.
But again that penetrating voice
cried out:
"He owes me $3 cold cash."
Advancing to the edge of the
platform, General Sheridan in a
confidential tone said: eyes. l know
all about the So, for my friend, Mr.
OBrien, has given me the inside
facts. Ladies and gentlemen, the
truth is simply this, and it reveals
peculiar character: This man who
has interrupted me met Mr.. O'Brien
recently and asked him for the loan
of $40. I haven't got ten,' said
generous Mr.. O'Brien, but here are
81 handing the money to him.
Now this man is going around say
ing my friend, the honorable chair
man, owes him So because he could
lend him only 81 when ten were re-
quested." A roar of laughter filled
the hall, and the indignant man
tried to answer the orator. He was
howled down. The chairman whis-
pered in General Sheridan's ear:
"You have saved me. You are a
genius. "-Leslie's Weekly.

BELLS ARE VERY ANCIFNr
They Were Known 80 the Ecx..
Before the Exodus


Bells were well known to n.
Egyptians before TIE time Of th the
Jewish exodus. In the descrint;o,l'ss ;,ls
Of Aaron's sace-dotal robe r,opt; tion
is made of the fact that upon n tSa
hem OF the garment there were bano o
of gold, alternating with noma 0r,S
granates Of blue, Of purple and ~
scarlet: GA golden bell and pomo' ~
granate, a golden bell and a now
granate, upon the hem Of the rob
around about. And it shall be nnor Ove
Aaron to minister, and his sopna Oa
shall be heard when he goetb
unto the holy place before the To.a
and when he cometh out. that h.
die not" Hand bells were in COW .,0
mon use all over the ancient world
The earliest use Of bells in churcbos
was for the purpose Of frighten;n~,
away the evil spirits which were bos'
heved to infest earth and air and
the earliest curfew was runp at
nightfall to rid the neighborhood "a "a
the village or town and church ~
demons.
Most old churches of Eurona
have small door on the north s;de
and at certain points in the service
this door was opened, and he'll
was rung to give notice to the devil
If he chanced to be present, that he
might make his exit before the elp
vation. BY the command of Pone
John TX. church bells were rung AZ
a protection against thunder and
lightning. The monument of Por-
sena, the Rtrurian king, was decor
ated with pinnacles, each surmount-
ed with bell, which tinkled in the
breeze. The army of Clothaire
raised the siege of Sens on account
of a panic occasioned among the
men by sudden chime from the
bells Of st. Stephens church. The
largest Bell in the world is in the
Kremlin at Moscow. It's weight is
$50 tons, and the value Of the bell
metal alone, not cousting the gold
and silver ornament which we're
thrown into the pots as votive offer
ings, is estimated at f66,565, or
about $685., 1895.

High Priced BumbIebees.

Many years ago the farmers of
Australia imported bumblebees from
England and set them free in their
clover fields. Before the arrival of
the bees clover did not flourish in
Australia, but after their coming
the farmers had no more difficulty
Oh that score. Mr.. Darwin had
shown that bumblebees were the
only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed a proboscis suifi-
GENTLY long to reach the bottom of
the long, tubelike flowers and at
the same time body heavy enough
to bend down the clover head so
that the pollen would fall on the in
sect's back and thus be carried off
to fertilize other flowers of the
same species. The bumblebees sent
to Australia cost the farmers there
about half dollar apiece, but they
proved to be worth the price.

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom Of the Cobra Is Deadly Al.
mest Beyond Belief.

1t was III the autumn of 1891
that Calmette, while acting as di-
rector of the archaeological insti-
tutc Of Saigon, Cochin China, frst
commenced his experiments on the
naturalization of serpent venom in
the animal system. He had excep-
tional opportunities in the matter
of serpent venom whcrewith to car
ry out his investigations, inasmuch
as a band of cobras had recently at
tackled a village in the vicinity of
Bacheu, and by order of the gov
ernor of the district no fewer than
ninety specimens Of the terrible Ma
ia tripudians, or cobra de capello,
were forwarded in a barrel to the
institute.
Forty of the reptiles arrived
alive, and several were al once sac
rifced to secure their venom glands.
Each gland, resembling both in size
and shape a shelled almond, con-
tains about thirty drops of venom,
and in this transparent limpid liquor
is embodied a toxin of .xtraor-
dinary strength. AS is well known,
this cobra is the most dreaded Of
all serpents, and it is widely dis-
tributed over India, Burma, Suma-
ira, Java, Malacca and Cochin Chi
ma, Until Calmette, however, set
to work to Systematically study the
nature of this reptiles venom but
little precise or reliable informa-
ton had been obtained as to its
character. 1t was, of course, nee
essary in the first instance to as
certain, within as narrow a limit as
possible, the exact degree of toxic
power inherent in the venom and to
determine if possible the precise
dose lethal in respect of each varie-
ty of animal experimental upon.
A correct calculation of the guam
tity of venom required in every case
was, however, found to be quite i'm
possible, fer so yirulent is the
poison that single drop of an
emulsion produced by pounding up
eight glands in 800 grams of dis
titled water is sufficient, when in
troduced into the vein of a rabbits
ear, to kill it in five minutes. All
the mammals to which Calmette ad-
ministered this cobra venom, such
as monkeys, dogs, rabbits, guinea
pigs and rats, succumbed more or
less quickly, according to the size
Of the dose.-We Westminster Gazette.
