NOAH's RAVENS.
A knotty Question Answered by
Blacksmith Preacher

a Nnotty Question Answered by
Blacksmith Preacher.
Many years ago there lived in one of
the mountain counties of Tennessee n
blacksmith who to his reputation for
honest work during The week added
that of being a powerful exhorter on
Sundays. Held in high esteem by his
neighbors, possessed of suf1iciency of
this worlds goods for that primitive
community, he seemed to have solved
the question Of terrestrial happiness.
but the thorn in the fesh'' is indigo
nous to all climes and conditions, and
for the blacksmith it grew in the per-
son Of one Tom Bradley, a tall, lank
mountaineer, who was the wit and
wag Of the neighborhood and who also
occupied the unenviabie position of
skeptic in that orthodox community.
Tom delighted to prod the smith with
certain inexplicable Biblical state
ments, and these encounters sometimes
resulted disastrously for the exhorter,
causing him much humiliation and
making him, as he said, .'wrassle in
prayer and cry to the Lord and spare
not"
Once at the yearly camp meeting the
old man was giving his experience

Real American Aristocracy,

1t was through the Declaration of
Independence that we Americans ac
knowledge the eternal inequality of
man, for by it we abolished a cut and
dried aristocracy. We had seen little
men artifcially held up in high places
and great men artifcially held down in
low places. and our own justice loving
hearts abhorred this violence to human
nature. Let the best man win" That
racy. And true democracy and true
aristocracy are one and the same thing

BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.


life In His Day.
Beau Welding was young man of
fashion in the reign of William III His
house was sumptuously furnished. his
hunters, hacks and racers were of
great value, and she kept table Of
princely hospitality" He had no os-
tensibie source of income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman of Leicestershire.
Evelyn describes him as very young
man. civil and good natured. but of
no great force of character" and very
sober and of good fame" All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. 'In
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept a strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what it
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off his sisters and when re-
monstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that. however long his life
should last, ne would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma of social life till his career
was cut short by duel. His adversary
was at that time young man about
town like himself, John Law, who
afferward became the founder Of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died he left only a
few pounds behind him and not
scrap Of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity.

A fool, barber and a baldheaded
man were travelling together. Losing
their way, they were obliged to sleep
in the open air, and to avert danger
1t was agreed to watch by turns. The
first lot fell on the barber. who for
amusement shaved the poor FOOLS

woke him, and the fool, raising his
hand to scratch his head, exclaimed:

awakened the baldheaded man instead
Of me."-Liverpool Mercury.

Sweet Cane From a Far Country.

SweeI Zane from + ar country.
1t has been supposed that sugar cane
was the ..sweet cane from far coun-
try" mentioned in Jeremiah vi. 90
and in Isaiah xiii, "a. According to
Strabo, Nearchus, the admiral of Alex
ander the Great, describes a kind of
honey" from an Indian 'reed'' which
was probably sugar cane. Europe
seems to be indebted for the plant to
the Saracens, who introduced it into
Rhodes, Cyprus, Sicily, Crete and Spain
in the ninth century. The crusaders of
the twelfth century found it in Syria.
The Spaniards and Portuguese carried
1t to Madeira and the Canares in the
fifteenth century, and on the discovery
Of America it was taken to the West
Indies.-New York American.

HOT POTS OF HEBER.
Tho Curious Natural Formations
Found In li&ah

Found In Utah.
OF ever increasing interest to natu-
raj curiosity seekers are the hot pots,
about three miles from Heber City,
Utah. on a branch line Of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad, running up
through picturesque Provo canyon.
This region is a level plain, upon the
surface of which arise in strange con-
fusion numbers of conical shaped els
terms. the largest of them being all of
fifty feet high, hundred feet in diam
eter at the top and twice that at the
base and containing in their dark
depths immense volumes Of water
heated to high temperature in the
furnaces of the earth. The waters con-
tain the usual chemical properties of
thermal springs and are used for bath
ing and drinking with excellent effects.
These pots have evidently been form
ed by the slow deposition through
countless centuries of the silica and
soda which enter into the composition
of the waters that once welled over
the rim. The hot pots are found in the
midst of cultivated fields and thriving
orchards Notwithstanding the peculiar
rocklike soil composition.
One Of the marked peculiarities OF
the region is the hollow. rumbline
sound caused by carriages and horses
as they move over the roadways for
miles around. SIS there an enormous
cavern just below the surface and will
it ever cave in?" is the anxious
inquiry Of every visitor alarmed al
the strange underground sounds.-Ex.
