Conclusion Drawn from the Destruc.

congregation in billy district in
Ohio bought small tract OF land and
erected church building upon 1t,
says the Youths Companion. Then
the question of insurance came up.
Mr. Sipes. the wealthiest member.
who had contributed more than, half
the money needed for the new struc-
ture. declared that he did not believe
In insurance. This Ia the Lords
building. He'll take care OF It," he
said. His view prevailed and there
was no insurance. In few weeks
the building was struck by lightning
and almost totally consumed by fire.
Another one was erected, Mr.. Sipes
contributing the greater portion Of
mand was almost unanimous that 1t
be insured, but Mr.. Sipes again OBJ
iected on the same ground. III It
burns down again, brethren" he said.
'Ill agree to rebuild 1t myself" Again
he carried his point. In less than a
month the new church was struck by
lightning again, and although strenu-
GUS efforts were made to save 1t, the
loss was almost total. There must
be some reason for this, brethren -
said Brother Sipes. Il am going to
find out what 1t is" Thereupon he
employed a force Of men to sink a
shaft on the site OF the twice des.
troyed church. Within few days a
rich vein Of iron ore was found and
the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to buy
land In another locality and builG

LAWYERS THEN AND NOW.
old-Timers Had Little Difficulty In
Entering Profession.


The young man who wants to be q
lawyer nowadays has a much harder
road to travel than he who wished to
adopt the honorable profession In
days gone by. AS a rule, he has to
take several years course In one of
the law schools Of the state. then pass
the state bar examination, which is
not planned to all the profession with
blockheads. formerly" said Mr.
John p. Poe, now the oldest instructor
In point NJ service--at the Uni
versity Of Maryland Law School. and
former attorney general, "all young
man had to do was to read law in
some lawyers ONCE. Then he went
before the examining committee.
which asked him few questions.
after he had been vouched for by the
lawyer under whose guidance his
studies had been pursued. These
questions, as rule. were kept In the
pigeonhole Of the judges desk, and II
the aspirant for professional honors

see them beforehand and prepare him
self for them. When my father went
up for examination he was asked two
questions. How many volumes is
Blackstone bound In? which he an
swered satisfactorily. and Can you
tell the difference between whisky
and brandy He professed ability to

men who became great lawyers In
those days did SO because they were
naturally lawyers. not because OF the

Charcoal an Antidote.

Japanese physicians declare 1t Is
impossible for internal poisoning to oc.
cur II powdered charcoal be swallowed
as soon as the gastro-intestinal dis.
turbance is felt. French physicians
have tested the power of charcoal, and
proved that II is the most active of all
known antidotes. The charcoal must
be taken as soon as the poison taken
begins to show its effect, and the
doses must be large. Charcoal is in
no way injurious, and as much as Q
soupspoonful may be taken In divided
doses mixed in water.

MAN IN HIS HOME
Mr.. oRisrLEroN PHILOSOPHERS
ON SUBJECT.
Thinks There Are Few Who Are
Sweet Abroad and Sour When
In the Bosom Of Their
Family.

"You know" said Mr.. Gristieton,
when I hear 1t said of q man that
he's good as pie to everybody else.
but you ought to see how he treats
HE folks. I don't set It down right
away that the man SO described must
be necessarily q brute or sneak
You see, II he Is going to show peev-
ishness anywhere. home is the proper
place for It; there It can do his family
and himself the least harm It Is es.
sential to his success in life that he
should put up good front and show
smiling face to the world.
As q matter Of fact the terms are
contradictory, for man can scarcely
be permanently III tempered at home
and yet present even veneer OF
grace sufhcient to deceive abroad A
man Is likely to reveal himself at all
times for what he really is; to be.
in the main. either good or bad every.
where; but II he have a streak OF
weakness in him, why. that would
prefer he should keep for home, and
20. think would his family.
They want him to make good
impression in the world. to appear
everywhere to advantage, and they
are ready to put up with his shortcom.
ings. to make allowances, and after all
they don't have to make so many,
and they know his ways and they
can charm away his crossness easily
enough.
"The truth is that while there may
be men who are saints abroad and
savages at home there are not many
such; most men are pretty decent,
and these stories we hear about men
who are SO good to other people and
so mean to their own are likely to be
without any real foundation or great.
ly exaggerated or born out Of q
chance disclosure.

him for what he is, a strong, vigorous,
able man who keeps his temper and
behaves himself admirably in the

wants to. 1t gives them an opportuni.
ty to soothe and comfort him and be
good to him and strengthen him. They
not only don't mind, but they really
like him to be natural and human;
they are not disturbed because he has
some failings like the rest Of us. and
they know he'll be serene and strong
again In minute.
$50 I take little stock in the stories
we hear occasionally of this man OF
that who is said to be good as pie to
strangers but sour chap with his
own. You can set 1t down for fact
that the man who has the strength
and courage and self-control to bear
himself like man abroad through
the day is, as a rule, and despite any
transient pettinesses that he may
there reveal, pretty sure to be man
whom they are right glad to see al
