1.-TWO Pius and a Hog"

A man in Cape Breton left his estate
Of $4,000 to trustees for the care of
pair of pigs. In his will he explained
that he did this because otherwise
the money would be in the hands Of
pigs who denied their Identities" and
that he might as well give it to pork
ers who made no pretenses." He al
luded to some attentive cousins who
were looking for legacies. But what
q lovely Christian spirit and how well
prepared to die! Then, too. how noble
purpose to which to devote the saw
ings of q frugal and industrious life!
1t suggests a certain sympathy and
kinship between the benefactor and
the objects of his bounty. And there
are so many poor and hungry and
helpless human beings to whom his
$4,000 would have meant much!-Bos-

GRATING FISH TAILS.
An Interesting Art In Which the Jap
anese Are Experts.


Among tie many interesting arts In
which the Japanese excel is that OF inc
making of fish tails. Almost every one
has seen the bush tailed goldfish, with
its four. five and sometimes more long,
wavy tails, but 1t Is not generally
known that most Of them are not Its
own.
When the little goldfish are very,
very young their flesh IS as clear as
glass. so that one can see every bone IN
their tiny bodies. At this time the few
that are born with two or more tails
are put by themselves, and then q
queer booking old Jap, with a great
magnifying glass fastened in front OF
his eye and wee sharp tools handy,
reaches down under the water and
cuts off the tails Of the plain little fish,
and then three or four of these tails
are Joined on to the backbone where
the one was cut off and fastened there
with tiny bandages until they grow
fast
The Japanese, who are very skillful
In queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish In the world, and 1t Is q
very good business, for very fine fish
of this kind often bring as much as
$500 to $500, and one sold not long age
for 81. 900.

A Rnrled Forest.

Piratic boards of Spanish doubloons
are not the only buried wealth one
may seek with spade and pick. A
wonderful relic of the past has just
been brought to light in Peterborough,
England. in the discovery Of a buried
forest. At a depth Of seven feet have
been found a number Of oak trees
which have been covered for some
1000 years. Most Of the trees are al
most perfect in condition and are be-
ing sold to furniture manufacturers
and others. Altogether about eighty
trees have been raised, and hundreds
more are left In the ground untouched
at a depth of five or six feet. In near
ly all the trees the roots are found at

and can be worked only by machinery,
as it turns the edge Of an ax.-London

Old Indian Armlets.

In a jewelry store at Eufaula. 1. L"
there were recently exhibited two arm
lets made Of metal and Of the pattern
worn extensively by the Indians CEN
fury ago. The armlets were found IN
an old Indian burying ground on the
banks Of a creek twenty-five miles
west of Eufaula. Evidently they had
clasped the arms Of some Indian brave
who had been buried there, and the
sands had drifted away, leaving the
armlets exposed long after the remains
of the Indian had passed to dust The
armlets are Of the pattern that were
annually given to the Indians by the
government in the early days. Each
of the armlets found bears the emblem
of the government, and there are In
the shield fifteen stars. indicating that
at the time they were made there were
fifteen states in the UniOn.-Jewelers'

Those Empty Pews.

Some years ago our church paper
contained a very able article on empty
pews. The writer went on to say he
had no doubt whatever that very
many churches would gladly give
liberal reward to any person who could
tell how to fill the empty pews. AS far
as we know, no one has as yet come
forward to solve the knotty question or
capture the prize. What an Immense
burden would be lifted from many
faithful pastors heart and from the
financial and spiritual departments OF
church life If this stern reality could be
removed. 1t is not our intention to go
along the old beaten path Of the spir-
itual life Of the church, but possibly to
consider 1t more from its material
side.-J. b Campbell, D. D., in Chris
tan Intelligencer.

CARE OF CHAMELE0NS.
How These Little Creatures Can Be
Kept Alive For Years.


Chameleons can be kept alive TOR
years by making a frame to tit over
plant In a Aowerpot and covering IL
with mosquito netting, which must be
long enough to tie with a string about
the pot. Keep the pot In the sunniest
window and water the plant every
day through the netting. You will be
surprised to see how eagerly the little
creatures will drink the running wa
ter after they get over their rear.
Set a wire fly trap for flies, which you
can llberate under the netting. Inc
chameleons will not be backward
about helping themselves.
In winter they do not require mucn
food. but will relish a meal worm oc-
casionally on sunny days. Meal worms
can sometimes be got at the gram
stores for the asking or can be pur-
chased at the bird stores, or small
sniders can be found in cracks and
crannies asleep for the winter. They
NAV be frozen stiff IL found out OF
doors. but they revive in n warm room.
Chameleons enjoy place to sleep IN
nights and winters. Take piece OF
red flannel four inches wide and eight
inches long; roll 1t over stick as
large round as your finger and sew II
while on the stick so that 1t Will not
come unwound; then slip Off and run
a wire through 1t long enough to sus-
pend It from one Of the branches on
the plant The chameleon will crawl
into this cozy bed and go to sleep.-St

THE BOOK OF PSALMS.
Best Known Because II Appeals 70
Common Religious Feeling.


The book Of Psalms is perhaps the |
best known book in the world. NO
other portion Of the Bible speaks to us,
as it were, with more familiar voice,
saws the London Spectator 1t has an
intimate and almost homely charm
which commends it at once to the ar
fections. Critics and theologlans have
discussed In endless volumes its origin,
its Interpretation or its authority, but
neither comment nor controversy much
affects the countless multitudes VINO
love the Psalter Men do not come 10
It with curious intellects, but WIN
warming hearts. What they seek in II
Is not learning or instruction, but COM
fort. consolation and some confidence
of hope. 1t is to the sorrowful, the az
ficted and the despairing that these
sublime yet simple hymns make their
constant and irresistible appeal. Ana
they do so; they go home so TO the
heart because they come so directly
from the heart They have that IN
spiration which is not less divine De-
cause it seems for the most part hu-
man. because 1t seems not so much a
message communicated from without
as an outfowing from the deepest
springs of being or a revelation OF
thoughts written on the heart itsen
by the very Finger Of Cod"
Their words, in fact, touch US SO
nearly exactly because they are so nat
ural. The writers are subject to hui
man weaknesses. They often exhibit
the fierce passions Of their age or
form narrow conceptions of JehoVan
or seem to look only for temporal
PROMISES. and yet their very ratings
only bind them to us with closer
bond and place In clearer reliet tne
wonder of their strength, the perpetual
marvel of their faith. For the stead
fastness and sureness Of their faith Is
indeed q true marvel. They walk In
darkness. but have no doubt and amid
dangers. but are without fear. They
shall put their trust in the Lord, shall
be even as the Mount Zion, which may
not be removed, but standeth fast for
ever" Such Is the continual burden OF
the psalmists.
That Jehovah is merciful, loving ana
righteous and that as their fatherS
put their trust in him and were not
COMPOUNDED" even so also 1t shall be
with themselves Is the firm foundation
Of their simple creed, as 1t must every
where and always be the foundation
of all creeds. however complex; and 1t
is just we believe, because OF this SIN
gleness, this simplicity of thought that
the influence of the Psalms Is so uni
versal. They make their common ap-
peal to all minds because they dwell
almost wholly on those basic Ideas
which underlie not one particular De-
lief only but all religious beliefs that
have risen above the stage OF super
StitiOn.

BURNING MARTYRS.

Curious Old Bill.

Cost Of the Funeral Pyres Told In
Curious Old Bill.
A hill for the materials with which
10 burn Cranmer and his fellow mar
tyrs Is probably the most curious and
suggestive document ever presented
for payment. The execution Of Lat-
mer and Ridley took place on Oct. III,
1855. while Cranmer did not sufrer
until March 81 of the following year.
The memorandum Of the bill Is In
cluded In the book which was found
by Strype when he wrote his Memoirs
of Archbishop Cranmer" in 1893, In
which the expenses of the martyrs
were entered during their imprison'
ment. This book Is probably some
where among the manuscripts OF OK
ford university, now a grim, matter Oh
fact witness to the fanatlcal hatred OF
the day.
The following are exact transcripts
from the bills by the person who had
charge of the funeral pyres:
"Paid for the burning Of Archbishop
Cranmer and his two fellow sufferers,

of wood fagots, 8s.: for one hundred

pavinn In church-Two Views.

A Jewish clergyman in Brooklyn
writing about people who habitually
attend services at the synagogue with
out contributing toward its mainte-
nance. calls them "moral parasites
and describes them further as "individ-
uals whose religious life steals its SUD-
stance from others" He says there
are women parasites" also and that
he has known women ito beat or steal
their way through their religious life.
In the course of his letter he refers 10
them as "avarcious," congregational
parasites" moral degenerates," ETC.,
and says that 1.-THE race should come
under the ban Of human contempt"
This is in strange contrast with Il
clergyman Of the same denomination
who writes: There are thousands OF
Jews who become estranged from their
faith because Of the new system. In
the free synagogue there will be no
pews and no assessments. 1t will be
free in every sense Of the term."-New

REAL COUNTRY LIFE.
Why the American Farmer Grows Old
Early In Life.

Why the American Farmer Grows OLD
Early In Life.
ANY one who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason
farmers grow old early. for he knows
Of the strain under which the Ameri-
can farmer lives during the hve
months Of spring and summer. HIS
workday Is from or in the morning
until 8 or 8 ut night, including chores
fifteen to seventeen hours Of the hard
est kind Of physical labor, and every
minute Of It at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes period
of relaxation In the fall, the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him In
health; later, the winter season, ap-
preaching stagnation, In which he
takes on flesh, gets 'logy," and then a
furious debauch Of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by forty-five he has mad a
sunstroke and cant stand the heat
or has "a weak back" or his "heart
gives out" or a chill "makes him rheu-
matte" and when you add to this fu-
rious muscular strain the fact that the
farmer sees his income put In peril
every season and his very home every
bad year, so that each unfavorabie
change in the weather sets his nerves
on edge, 1t can be readily imagined
that the real "quiet, peaceful country
I life" Is something sadly different from
the ideal.-Woods Hutchinson, NJ. d.

An undsruround River,

While a we'll was being bored near
Maria, Tex, an underground river was
struck at a depth Of 200 feet. With
the artesian flow which poured forth
from the mouth Of the well came sew
eral articles of wearing apparel. This
fact led to the conclusion that the river
had its source in Arizona and that the
articles mentioned were lost IN the
food at Clifton, Ariz., which recently
occurred.
