animals Additions.

A cat always carries about with 1t a
clothes brush. for its tongue is rough,
and 1t cleans its glossy coat just as a
lady brushes her furs Foxes, dogs
and wolves, on the other hand, do not
use their mouths when they need a
wash and brush up. but scratch them
selves vigorously with their front and
back paws and are as fresh as ever
Field mice comb their hair and
whiskers with their hind legs in the
same way as dogs, and the fur seal
spends as much time in making her
self look smart as a woman does. Al
though elephants appear to be thick
skinned and callous, as matter Of
fact they take the greatest care of
their skins, and are constantly having
shower baths by the aid Of their porta-
Bile trunks. After the bath they roll
themselves in a toilet preparation" Of
dust, which keeps the flies off. 1t is
the crocodile, however who makes his
toilet In the most luxurious fashion,
for the Egyptian plover acts as his
valet.

Of what became ct these women
graduates Of 1900 1t was stated re-
Gently that 26 we're sull pursuing
their scientific work. there were 20
teachers. one was in the meteorol0g.
ical observatory. two we're in goY-
ernment laboratorier, two were fol-
lowing literary careers, one In a
railway office, one in a library, and
20 lived at home with their parents.
OF the rest no record has been kept.
In the orthodox church there are
no women priests. and there are no
law schools for women in Russia
Looking at the question closely.
the American woman's opportunity
reaches farther, embracing as it does
all occupations and trades. The key
note of the Russian TOmans infu-
ence and power seems to me to be
expressed in these words Of Ruskin,
in speaking of the true quality Of
the sexes: "The happiness and per-
lection of both depends on each ask
ing and receiving from the other
what the other only can give"

uses both Chinese and Arabic huently-
In a recent address made in mission
meeting she spoke hve different lang
guages so that they could be under
stood by representatives of ave differ
ent nationalities in the room at the
time
This power has also been granted
to the pastor Of the church, Rev Gil
bert E. Farr, ard his wife. There Is
nothing new in this" he says. We
simply believe and have proved con-
clusively that the power Of the apOs-
ties reaches down to the present time
We are now living in the Gospel age.
and everything inaugurated by the
apostles in their age holds good in the
present. We are not a sect nor a cult
We simply believe in the whole Cos
pei. and in this thing along with alb
the rest Of it.
Mr.. Farr furnishes this description
Of how the gift came
Last August a body Of Christian
people was holding camp meeting in
this city, and during the meetings two
Christian women came to us from
Los Angeles They said they were
going to Jerusalem to preach the Cos
pei in Arabic, as God had given them
chat gift and also the gift of other lam
guages. Many Of our members began
to seek it for themselves. After the
public meetings closed we all went
into a separate room and waited for
the Lord to do to us as He did to the
apostles at Pentecost, when He gave
them the gift OF languages.
THE first manifestation Of the pres
ence Of the Holy Ghost was when peO-
pie began to tremble and fan down
and then there came rushing OF
great winds. This is just the same
thing that happened according to the
Bible on the day Of Pentecost. Very
soon several of our members began to-
speak in different languages and 9th
ers interpreted what they said. No
less than 40 people, men, women and
children, have received this wonder
full gift.
"As for myself ! cannot tell any
thing more about my receiving the
gift than this: My throat began to
swell and l was compelled to remove
my cravat. While opened my mouth
under the inspiration Of the Holy
Ghost, began to speak in foreign
language which had never studied
or heard spoken, and ] have spoken
under this wonderful power many
times since"

HuMoR or THE U. s. MINT.
Its Establishment the Cause Of Some
Laughable Debates.

Documents in the congressional II

the establishment Of the mint was UNI
der discussion IN Washington's time
there were some amusing debates in
congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. There is one ac-
count of squabble over the design
for the silver dollar.
1t appears that member OF the
house from a southern state bitterly
opposed the choice Of the eagle on
account of Is being the king Of
birds" and hence neither suitable nor
proper to represent a nation whose in.
stitutions and interests were wholly
inimical to monarchical forms Of gov
ernment.
Judge Thacher, in reply. had play
fully suggested that perhaps a goose
might suit the gentleman, as it was
rather a humble and republican bird
and would also be serviceable in other
respects, as the goslings would an
swer to place upon the dimes.
This reply created considerable
merrlment. and the irate southerner
considering the humorous rejoinder
an insult, sent a challenge to Judge
Thacher. who promptly declined It
The bearer rather astonished, asked
'Will you be branded as a coward? p
Certainly, if he pleases," replied
Thacher. 4 always was one, and he
knew it, or he would never have
risked challenge"
The affair caused much mirth, bui
was finally adjusted, cordial relations
being restored, the irritable southern
er concluding that there was nothing
to be gained in fighting one who free
nothing but jokes.
