Pastor Is SURPRISED.

The Rev L. II. Jackson, the new pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church.
was very agreeably surprised Friday
night, when about fifty of the members
of his church called on him and his fam
lily in a body, bringing with them va
rious and sundry substantial donations.
One of the members presented them
with a donation that was very novel.
and the joke is on the Rev. Jackson that
the novelty part was not discovered UNI
til the next morning. The gift consisted
of what appeared to be half bushel of
nice. large Irish potatoes and they were
deposited in the pantry and were not
paid any more attention until the next
morning when some were being pared
preparatory for cooking and &c piece
was found inbedded therein, and upon
further investigation 1t was found that
there were fifty nickels inbedded in as
many potatoes.
During the evening songs and recita-
tons were rendered by many Of the party
and a very pleasant evening was spent.

joyed. ~

plished daughter of the Rev. Jackson,

SPRING LAMBS AND PEAS. Writer Devotes Some Eloquence to
 Subject Gastronomical.

When the poet spoke of ethereal madness" he meant spring lamb and peas. How we'll he knew them! Lamb, the type of innocence, and the pea, the first fruit of civilization, away back on the Aryan summits. The pea grows nowhere in wild state. It is the product of tender care and the hearts solicitude, and hence fitted for gentle association, and all the quiet moods of nature, where no anger, trouble, or tumult comes. When sharp wind arises or frost hurls a menace from clear night, spring lamb and peas vanish, like a bird that feels prying breath upon it's nest. But when the shadows shorten and the robin is abroad in the early morning and the apple blossoms are whitening the air, then appear the lamb and peas, with a smiling saluta- tion, Here we are-gather about us." Don't we? Don't we taste the ethe- real mildness? Don't we feast our imagination on the blue sky and the daffodils ?-Ohio State Journal.

Heavy Berry Shipment.

While the weather has been very unfavorable for ripening the straw, berry crop in Crawford county, yet 25 cars have been shipped from Van Buren alone, although the heavy move ment of the crop will not begin much before May l, about the usual time, that being shipped now being the result of the extreme warm weather during the month of March. Notwith- standing the many reports to the con- trary, the berries in this county were not injured by the late frosts, and with favorable weather the crop will be as large as usual. The vines are heavily fruited and owing to the cool, cloudy weather no reports of rotting have been received. The berries, on the other hand, are solid, up to the standard in size and color and are carrying even to the fartherest markets better than ever before, and with much less refrigeration.

Surprise Tests" on Railroads.

It is but a few years since Ameri- can railroads began systematically the use of surprise tests These more or less directly grew out of an incident that occurred on one of the largest systems of the middle west. To test the operations of their sig nals some officials went out one night and leaving a signal set at clear, simply removed the light. They watched ten or twelve trains go by sad not one engineer stopped to in 4uire what was the trouble, as the rules demand. This same road re- ports that in 1906, 1,600 surprise tests were made without one resulting in failure.

The straphanser in London.

The Englishman who rides in street car will be sure of a seat The aisles will be kept clear. There will be no overcrowding. In comfort Englishmen seem to be very exacting. Why shouldn't the strap hanger be welcomed as a manifesto ton of the age-of hustle, hustle and the deil take the hindInost? The Londoners show how much they are behind the times when they insist upon excluding from street car every person who cannot get seat. They are slow, very slow, in London. They will never be Americanized and modernized until they welcome the straphanger and sacrifice comfort to expedition and the 1get-there' spirit. Will the Londoners never cease to demand all they pay for?

"Old Ironsides," the famous frigate Constitution, is preparing to make what is likely to be her last cruise or at least the last trip prior to being laid up in perpetuity. She is being fitted for voyage to Hampton roads, where she will be one of the most interesting exhibits at the Jamestown exposition. As ship she will not cut much of a figure along side of the big floating steel fortresses representing the nayies of the world. But no vessel of all the number will typify as much glorious history as "Old Ironsides." It seems almost a pity, says Troy Times, that the famous craft, now at Brooklyn navy yard, cannot be put in shape to sail down the coast and into the famous roads under her own canvas. This is impossible, however, and the once stately vessel will be lowed to her destination by commonplace tug. But even this cannot rob her Of her Well-Won renown
