Cheerful Advice.

A number of railway men were once
discussing the question OF accidents.
"The roads in Scotland" said one Of
fetal, used to have bad name, in
deed, in respect to accidents. No one
thought of embarking on a railway
Journey unless he had provided him
self with an accident policy of insur-
ance.
1.-The famous DR.. Norman Macleod
was once about to set off on a journey
through the Scotch country. Just as
the train was pulling out the clergy
mans servant put his head in through
the window and said:
"'Hae We ta'en an insurance ticket,
STRIP
"T have replied the doctor.
"'Then,' continued the servant,
write ye'er name on it and gle it to
me. They haze an awful habit of rob
bin the corpses on this line"

How the Hippo sweats Blood.

At times the hippopotamus exudes
what has been described as a bloody

the emulation is found to consist of a

Der of pink-colored bodies made up OF
some crystalline substance forming
clusters of rodelike and triadite form
These, becoming dissolved, give the
surrounding fluid medium deeper

dissolution took place. Both the col
ored and colorless matter appear to
be exuded by special pores in the
skin which display activity only i'm
mediately after the creature has left
the water.

Those LAWYERS.

Mrs. Langtry, at a dinner in New
York, laughed ruefully at the unpleas
ant and impertinent questions that, un
der the new customs rules, had been
put to her on her landing in America
"Those questions!" she cried, com
ing one after another as they did, and
each worse than the one before it, their
effect was appalling.
"In their character they reminded
me of that lawyers bill which is some
times quoted to show what a lawyer
at his worst, can be. | don't remem

Newspapers of the Country.

In 1775 there were only twenty
seven newspapers in the United
States Ten years later, in 1885, there
were seven published in the English
language in Philadelphia alone, of
which one was daily. The Oldest
newspaper published in Philadelphia
at the time of the federal convention
was the Pennsylvania Gazette, estab-
lished by Samuel Keimer in 1928. The
second newspaper in point of age was
the Pennsylvania Journal established
in 1742 by William Bradford, whose
uncle, Andrew Bradford, established
the first newspaper in Pennsylvania,
the American Weekly Mercury, in
1918.

Maryland Judge Pronounces Him the
Greatest Animal in the World.
John ]. Upshur Dennis of the SUI
preme bench, who has been i'll nearly
a year, sat in his room at the Church
Home and Infirmary on Monday after
noon and talked of things, says the
Baltimore News. His talk was light
and pleasant and interesting, for it re-
lated to the joys of living and the
dishes so agreeable to the palate, in
Guiding terrapin and duck. 1.-THE hog,
he said, lis the greatest animal in the
world. Every part of him has diff,
ferent flavor and each flavor is better
than that of any other animal in the
world"
Better than a terrapin?"
81 don't call terrapin an animal
The terrapin, as 1 explained, is crea
ton But to return to the hog; all OF
him is good, from his tail to his front
feet. Chine is great dish, but il
doesn't compare with jowl. Jowl anC
turnip tops in the spring can be beat
by only one thing and that is boiled
hen turkey. Nobody but a yankee OF
heather would roast hen turkey II
the spring. Hen turkeys are fat before
they lay and the flavor is delicious
Properly cooked and served such
dish is fit for kings and nations have
gone to war for less cause"

Preachers in Politics.

Is it true that ministers have no
right to "meddle in politics?" Some
eminent members of the clerical pro-
fession say no. They maintain that
preachers and politics ought not to
mix and cannot mix without more in
jury to the preacher than good to the
politics resulting.
A man by becoming minister Of
the gospel does not cease to be citi-
zen of the republic. 1t is his duty as a
citizen to do what he reasonably can
to secure and maintain good govern
ment. This does not mean that he
should carry politics into his pulpit
ordinarily. There are, however, ex-
ceptional times and seasons when
silence in the pulpit on an issue be-
fore the people is the neglect not only
of political but religious duty.

Witches in EucsheIls.

When Napoleon III. was approach
ing sovereignty he asked a judicious
friend to observe him carefully for a
week and to point out to him any
thing that he did which was not ac-
cording to the severest code of the
manner of a we'll bred man. At the
end of the week there was only one
practice which his friend had noticed.
The emperor after eating a boiled egg
invariable thrust his spoon through
it. Whence this practice has arisen,
at one time not uncommon, it is diff
cult to say. Some date it from very
early period and assume that It was
done originally in order to prevent the
witches sailing in the eggshells.
