Man Whose Memory Was Bad.

For more than an hour a witness
for the defense had lodged questions.
His faulty memory was particularly
exasperating for the counsel for the
plaintiff, who was seeking to recall
TO the witness recollection an event
of four of five years previous. Event
ually the man remembered some
thing about it,"
"Ah," continued the lawyer for the
plaintiff, what id you think of it
at the timer"
Really" said the witness, speak

ly Sidestep.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go e. New York on busi-
ness, and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit Of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear, but a number OF
burglaries in the neighborhood during
one of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night of his return Mr.. Will
son was stealing carefully up the
front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions, so that his wife would not
be wakened, when he heard her voice,

storm of a number of years ago when

hail had partially abated we left the hay
field and when we got out of the canon,
some of the damages that the lightning
had done could be seen, hay and grain
stacks were on fire in several places.

record he had carefully studied be-

much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

CHARACTER IN THE MAKING.

Only by Adversities.

It is not a meaningless phrase nor
an empty assertion when 1t is declared
that one should count it all joy when
she is afflicted by circumstances, dis.
ciplined by events not of her own
making and beyond her control. BY
this token she may know that she is
chosen for some sacred use and pur.
pose.
The old-time workers in metals,
whose productions have come down
to the present age as models of the
true in line and beautiful in art, never
did their best work, fashioned nearest
to their loftiest ideals, until they used
the fine spun gold" from which such
statues as that of Diana of the Ephe-
slams" were wrought. Cheap material
is brittle, and so is easily broken and
destroyed. The cOarser the uses to
which they are to be put the less iron
and steel are worked over. For in
struments which are to acquire a fine
edge and serve important and delicate
purposes the best steel is selected and
then is fired and hammered and pol
ished to the degree nearest perfection
that it is possible to attain.
So the spirit and heart and brain
which is most ductile and flexible and
quick to take the desired edge and
shape, is set apart for the honor OF
Gods hammering that it may become
fit for high and delicate uses. The
