"My friends, are you aware with what vile compounds you insult your stOmachs?' said an eloquent preacher in a mining town recently. After a short pause he ccntinued: ''The stuff served to you at the dramshOps here is not honest whisky, but a mixture of alcohol and water cOlored and favored with fuseI oil and chemicals. You can go to any drug store and for % cents buy enough of these ingredients 10 make barrel Of the stuff you drink..'
 As he reached this climax a great burly man jumped up and, waving a five dollar bill high in his hand. ex- claimed in stentorian tones:
 One moment. please Here is my last V. Give me that recipe. would sooner possess it than a gold mine"'
 A hearty cheer by the audience end cd the meeting The preacher prudent ly withdrew. richer in experience and more circumspect in his remarks at subsequent Eatherings--BuffalO News.

Flour Tests.

Since more bread is eaten in the course of lifetime than any other one article of food, it behooves us to have 1t of the best possible quality. Even in this era of strict pure food laws flour will be adulterated, so it is up to HIS 10 be able to test Its purity for our selves. The chief ingredients that are mixed in flour are whiting and alum, both of which can be discovered by simple tests. To discover alum in four it is only necessary to remember that it coagulates with milk. Soak a piece of bread in water until it Is en- tirely dissolved. then put it on to boil with an equal quantity of milk. If there is any alum lurking around great clots will be formed. Even simpler is the test for whiting. Moisten the thumb and first finger with a little olive oil and rub between them a good sized pinch of four If it turns brown, but does not get sticky, its purity is pretty certain. Writings presence will be shown by sticky, pasty feel ing and no discoloration.

 If Richard and Miss Harriet enjoyed their afternoon, the same could not be said of Bills. For. three long hours the servant did penance for his sins. knowing not which ached the most his head, his heart or his tender feet To walk was agony. To sit was to suffer with a gnawing, burning heat that ever increased as his feet began to swell. At the end of the first half hour he determined to run away, to hide himself somewhere in the wilder ness of New York, where his master might seek for him in vain. Immedi- ately, however, stumbling block pre- scented itself To get into the boots had been difficult. To get out of them proved to be an utter impossibility, and to run anywhere with such ap agonizing handicap was out of the question. True, he might have cut them off, but in view of the thought of crows and knuckle bones he preferred to bear his martyrd0m.
 Richard found him seated on tho edge of the bathtub, with his feet iA half an inch of warm water-a muti' neer reduced, like his boots to a pitt able pulp.
 Hello, Woolsey," Richard asked cheerfully, whats up?"
 "M' lord" the valet walled. 'for Gawd's sake 'elp me, s.-, for I'd rather lave you shoot me 1n the parts wot doesn't count than wear these 'ero blasted boots fer another minute. MT. Williams, sir, if you'll be so good"
 "Thatll cost me pair of boots to Croyland," thought Richard over his cigar as he dismissed the wretched valet to seek relief below stairs. But I rather think it was money well spent"

Tangled Bark Accounts.


 "It is remarkable" said an old bank employee, "how few people keep their bank accounts absolutely correct. At ordinary times this failing is not con spicuous, because books are usually balanced when there is still a credit to the depositor's account. When the balanced book is received with the vouchers the usual discrepancy is found after much labor in an omitted entry, either deposit or check or in the form of an error in addition or sub- traction. The thing is usually settled at home without our help. But when lot of women go to a bank, each one with a check already made out representing her balance, then look out. Fortunately l have had no ex- perience in that way, but l know that not one woman in ten-and am char itable with the fgure-keeps her book correctly, and many women keep no record at all. We have one depositor who used to receive an overdraft mo- tice regularly every month. Now, by an arrangement with her, we give her notice when the balance hears the $10Q mark. Men laugh at the women for their failure to keep their bank &C., counts right. but except when book keeper does the work for them the men are nearly as bad."-New York Trib- unp
