Helping the Minister.

A Scotch preacher had in his con-
gregation an old woman who was
deaf. In order to hear the sermon
each Sunday, this old lady would seat
herself at the foot of the pulpit stairs.
One day the sermon was about Jonah,
and the preacher became very rhetor-
ical
"And when the sailors threw Jonah
overheard he said, "a big fish swal-
lowed him up. Was it a shark that
got i'm? Nay, my brethren, it was
ne'er a shark. Was it a swordtish

lady excitedly.

Enough Useful Animals to Destroy Man

to carry supplies to the front About
100,000,000 goats could furnish milk,
while 21;O00,000 buffaloes could stamp
out Spain man by man.
Meanwhile 100000 camels could
campaign in their familiar conditions
of deserts and dry places and 100000
hardy reindeer could sweep the north
ern climes.
There are, as nearly as can be es-
timated, 1,500,000,000 useful animals in
the world, including, in addition to
those mentioned, enormous numbers of
cattle and hogs.
The United States leads in the num-
Der of swine, with about $4,000, O0-a
third of all in the world. Australia
leads with sheep-S8.0O0,O 900, the
United States being third with
100000.
European Russia and the United
States are about even on horses, with
about 25,000,000 each; more than half
the mules are here. British India is
the principal habitat of the goat: there
are 100000 there. The camel is
usually associated with Egypt, but

forget that even such people have a
moral right to something beyond the
bare necessities of life. The rapid
increase in prices does not mean to

How Col. Lyon Created Federal Job

work for the government.
Lyon looked over the pay roll Of
employees at the federal building at
home. There were no vacancies and
most of the jobs had a long waiting
list of applicants. Lyon looked abroad
at the lists of employees in other fed.
eral buildings. He found a job he
didn't know about.
1t was the job of char woman.
Col. Lyon looked it up in the die
tionary and found that a char woman
was one who polished doorknobs and
things. There were plenty of knobs
in the federal building back home,
but his man was not a woman, and
the dictionaries made no mention of
char men.
This did not stop Col. Lyon OF
Texas. He created the Office of char
man; the only one in existence, so far
as Washington knows. and the young
man who wanted to work for the gov
eminent is polishing knobs with great
eclat.

Many suffragists in New York have
become greatly exercised over the re-
cent meeting held by Mrs. Belmont at
the Mount Olivet Baptist church, at
which she took many negro women
into her organization. 1t has caused
many to speculate as to the possibility

A big storm at sea sometimes does
unexpected 'stunts." A ship which
went ashore on Brant Point, Mass,
during the Christmas gale was car
ried so high and dry that no hope
was entertained of getting her back
to the water. But the latest tempest
that swept the stern New England
coast generated high tide which car.
ried the vessel to her former element,
and to everybody's surprise she was
found substantially uninjured. That
appears to have been one of old Nep.
