GETTING Square,

A tight-fsted man in small town
in Pennsylvania, who until recently
had never been observed to take any
interest in church matters, suddenly
became regular attendant at SER
vice, greatly to the establishment of
his fellow townsmen.

the business men to his friend. 'Is
it true that Jones has got religion?"
NO" was the reply; at is entirely
a matter of business with him. About
a year ago he loaned the pastor $50.
The preacher was unable to pay it
back, so there was nothing for Jones
to do but to take it out in pew rent"

An Old Campaiqner.

On the occasion of his last visit to

for the magazines dropped in on an

friends frankness.
The editor said, among other things,
ut seems to me, Blank, that In your
last story you are guilty of an ex-
tremely faulty figure of speech, in that
you constantly refer to "a brave old
hearthstone.' How can a hearthstone
be brave?"
The author smiled cemplacently.

Not from the scripturea.

The quotation: God tenpereth the
wind to the shorn lamb" is one which
very often leads people to believe It
is to be found in the Scriptures. AS
a matter of fact it appears first in
English in Sterne's Sentimental Jour-
ney.' 1t is generally supposed that
Sterne took this from an old French
proverb. Another rendering Of this is

dentum," where it takes the form:
ITO close-shorn sheep God gives wind

Petroleum Forty Centuries Old.


Though it is only within recent
times that petroleum has become an
article of commerce, there Is abundant
proof that 1t was used In the arts 40
centuries ago. The mortar used in con-
structing the walls of Nineveh and
Babylon had petroleum mixed with 1t
for the purpose of securing greater CO.
hesion and excluding dampness.
Traces of the bituminous matter are
very distinct in the ruins, and the
existence of petroleum springs at Is,
some hundred and twenty miles from
old Babylon, indicates one source of
the supply. In the ancient history Of
several eastern countries allusion is
made in unmistakable terms to the
existence of petroleum springs.-New
