4 Financial Parable.

Just before the collection was taken up one Sunday morning negr~s clergy man announced tbat a certain nrotbey had forgotten to lock the door Of bis chicken house the night before. and, as a result, In the morning he found that most of the fowls had disappeared 'T dcan' want to lse pussonai. hredr'p," he added, but hab my s'picions as 60 who stole dem "ilickens also hab reason fo' bIievin dat if aiE right ID dose s'Jheions tlat pnsson wont put any money in de nla't which will now be passed around"
 The result was a fine collection. Not single member of the congregation teigncd sleep. After jt was counted tGe old parson came forward
 "Now. bredr'n." he said "I doau' want your dinners to be sT.,lt by won derin' where dat brudGer lives whc doan' lock his chickens up Ut right Dat brudder doan' exist nah friends He was q parable gctter up fO' Fur pose of finances"

Don'ts,

Don't attempt to punish all your ene- mics at once You can't do a large business with small capital. Don't say "I told you so." Two to one you never said word about it. DOnt worry about another mans business. A little selishnesS is sometimes con- mendable. Don't imagine that you can correct all the evils in the world. A grain of sand is not prominent in desert. Don't mourn over fancied grievances. Bide your time, and real sorrow will come. Don't throw dust in your teachers eyes. It will only in- 1Ere the pupil Don't worry about the ice crop. Keep eool and you will have enough. Don't borrow a coach to please your wife. Better make her 8 little sulky. Don't ina zine that every
 thing is weakening Butter is strong in this market. Don't publish your acts of charity. The Lord will keep the account straight. Don't color meerschaums for living. It Is sim ply dyeing by inches.-Mark Twain.

Mcon Worsf1ip In China.

The fe1e of the moon is celebrated in China ill the eighth month of the year. and this lasts six days. Presents are then made OH which the figure of the moop is apparent. and large rasoda is illuminated Firecrackers and nu- sic and family reunions prevail. 4 midnight banquet on the last night ter inmates the feast, and then the de- scent of the goddess of the moon. which we call the man in the moon, is awaited She is supposed to visit the earth at this time to grant the wishes of mortals. The moon with the Chi. nese is the patroness of poetry, and autumn is the poets favorite season.

Queer Pronunciations.

There are many names of places in England that puzzle the stranger. Happisburgh, in Norfolk, for instance, is pronounced HaZeboro, Abergayenny simply drops syllable and becomes Aberycnny, and it is alleged that St. Neots sounds more like Shoots than anything else. Cirencester seems to vary from Sister to SiZeter In Suf- folk Waldringfeld is "Wunnerfur' and Chelmondiston "Chimston,' while in the adjoining county of Norfolk Hun stanton is "Hunston,' and in the west country Badgeworthy is "Badgery' and Cornwood "Kernood." Hunting. donshire claims the purest English, but they call Papworth "Parpor." And not far away is another village of beauty. The motorist turned upon q rough road and asked the intelligent laborer where 1t would take him. ''That road" said the honest country man, wiping his brow. will take you to 'Ell, sir" The courag geouS motor list went on and found Ellsworth. which is pronounced "Elser" - Manchester Guardian.

The pHAarn of the Kew.

Some small article had been lost-l forget now what; let us say . key-be- longing to one of two sisters who were be found But one night .one of the sisters dreamed that she saw the key Tn the pocket of her travelling bag. She told this dream on waking to the other And have you looked ill the pocket ?' the sister asked. No, I have not. ' said she, for the very good reason that there is no pocket in my travel ing bag" Well" said the other. there is pocket in mine. 1 will just have look there on the chance" And there the key was found. The infer ence is that the dreamer had seen with the eye of sen3e, though not with the eye ef observation, the key put Into the pocket Even when the key was so found fhe had TO recollection of seeing it placed there, but the brain had unconsciously recorded the sensa- tion. In course of sleep it had stun the sleeper on awakins chanced to re- member the mental operation that had taken place during sleep It Is sin gular and almost alarming reflection that our brains are stored with count less such records of which we know association of Ideas or some peculiar
