But There Was a Collection and Also a
 Reason For It.
 The cOlOred parson had just conclud- ed a powerful sermon on Salvation Am Free" and was announcing that a collection would be taken for the ben eft of the parson and his family. Up jumped an acutely brunette brother in the back of the church.
 Look a-yeah, pahsOn," he interrupt ed; "yo' ain't no sooner done tellin' us dat salvation am free dany yo' go askin' us fo' money. If salvation am free, what's de use in payin' fo'e it?5 Dat,s what I want to know. An ] tell yo' p'intedly dat I ain't goin' to glib yo' nothin' until find out. Now
 Patience, brudder, patience, ;" said the parson. 'I1l 'lucidate. S'pose yo' was thirsty an come to a river. Yo' could knee right down an drink yo, fill, couldn't yo'? .An' it wouldn't cost yo' nOthin'. would it?"
 "Ob cou'se not. Oats jest what r.

DURABLE INK.
The Secret of It's Manufacture Seems
 to Have Been Lost.

The Secret of It's Manufacture Seems
 .... to Have Been Lost.
 The ink manufacturer has made great strides in his field. He has pro- duced many colored fluids that seem well adapted to ordinary use. But how long will this ink last without fading?
 Did you ever pick up a letter writ ten ten or fifteen years ago7and note how much of it is illegible because the ink has faded? Some precious docu- ments not century old are preserved today ill air tight cases, so that the ink will not fade any more. Others have been copied in order to retain the ex. act chirography of the original authors.
 Fading ink is one of the things in which the ancients did not believe. Many of the mediaeval manuscripts six and seven hundreds years old have their letters formed of ink that is as black and bright as on the day when first written.
 Who has the secret of this lost art. of making durable ink? It is, another one of the lost arts that is worthy of Investigation. The ancients had fewer materials to work with and less facil-' lties for laboratory tests. but we must acknowledge that there are some. things in which they excelled us.-. World Today. s> -g

Joy of YaMn.

When life seems more than usually insipid-and such moments do come tc even the most hopeful of us-there is a sudden pleasant sympathy in the yawn of the terrier on the rug before the fire.

AE Ecin,,Ar n nnnhaH

A diverting anecdote is told in "An. nals of the Liverpool Stage" of an unrehearsed episode that occurred at the Hop, cheap but popular place of entertainment. A troupe of acrobats were engaged, and one of their num- Der gave a single turn'' ill which he displayed his skill as q champion weight litter. Somebody, however, on mischief bent, changed one of the if ty-six. pound weights for one made of cardboard. The strong mans vision was impaired by the loss of one eye, but in this instance, not unfortunately so. He took the first and second weights, and after having manipulat
 ed. them he took the third, the one made of cardboard. Realizing in an instant what had been done, he as quickly decided to turn it to his own advantage by throwing three sdip- flaps' while holding the dummy weight. He was greeted with a per- feet. round of applause, and the audi epce- declared it to be the greatest feat they had ever witnessed.

Sock and Ruskifh.

In the early ages theatrical perform
 CTS disguised their faces with wine lees or a rude pigment. .Aeschylus, the ia
 nous tragic poet, introduced masks, which were of various kinds, express. ing every age, country, condition and complexion. All were constructed with the greatest nicety and precision. The dresses were also adapted to the characters assumed by the actors. What was known as the buskin was a hunting boot. Those worn by tra- gedians had soles three inches thick, composed of layers of cork, and were laced up in front as high as the calf. Sandals were also worn, and many of these had thick cork soles. The col ors4 of the foot coverings were various, red being the favorite hue for war fFOrs and purple for other characters. Sk3yes wore a low shoe bearing the n& 6e of sock, which was also the ordf- nary footwear of comedians. From this circumstance arose the we'll known phrase of ''sock and buskin," so generally associated with the drama

A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE.
The Climax of a w0man's Return IT

The Climax of Woman's Return Trip tse 4- to Her Home.
 .f A New York woman had a curious and tragic. experience, one that seems more like. grewsome page from French fiction than the plain recital of fact.
 This woman started out with her husband to accompany him part way on "a busiatess trip he was taking to n southern city. It2was arranged that she should stop to visit some friends at a point about halfway on the jour- ney and after two days stay should proceed and rejoin her husband at his destination and return with him. She made her visit and when she reached the town where she had expected to nleet her husband found that he was noa at the hotel where he had been stohping, but had left hurriedly for NeW York the day before. She waited .lOnE enough to send telegrams to her husbands office and to their house in New York asking if he had arrived and to receive a negative answer from eadh place.
 Concluding that he had been unable to reach her by telegraph while she wak on the road, she decided to return home She was disappointed, but not at all perturbed, as she journeyed northward She had to change cars twice on the way Each change in- volved wait of ten or fifteen min utes at small junction town. As she was Dac cing2 upz and down the station platform at each of these places she saw a big pine covered coffin box un- lQaded from the express car and put aboard tic Tnorthb8and train. At Jer- sey City the same box was being un- loaded, and it crossed the ferry with her iIi .hearse She noted idly. that one of tine hearse horses was white and the other black. She went first to her husbands office, but the hour was late in the afternoon, and it was closed. Then she went uptown to her home.
 AS she was about to enter the apart ment house a hearse drawn by a white horse and black one drove up, and the undertaken climbed down and pressed the button below her name on the row of call bells at the entrance. She asked him what it meant. Think ing ste was some inquiring stranger, the undertaken told her that he was bringing home the body of man who had died on train near the city whence she had just come and that the undertaken who had taken charge of the body had forwarded it in com pliance with the dying mans request. In daze the woman asked the dead mans name. Then she fell fainting to the floor. 1t was her husband.- New York Press.

JUSTICE IN HAITI.
Why . Trader Was Consigned to Jail
 by a Magistrate.

by a Magistrate.
 In most lands that maintain a court of justice the institution commands the respect of the public. It has in its hands the means of securing an outward show of respect under any circumstances. In Haiti this power appears to be made a source of rev. enue, according to a story told by Fl. Prichard in Where Black Rules White"
 A Haitian owed trader $2S. A judgment requiring the Haitian to pay $4 week into court was given, and the trader agreed to send a messenger to the magistrate every week for the money.
 In due time he sent for the first in stallment and was informed that the Haitian had not paid up. but that he should be put in prison for his failure.
 Three weeks passed with the same result. One morning the Haitian went to the traders store. What good, he asked, would come to the trader if he, poor man, were thrown into prison? Let the trader forgive him his debt duU OdEA lAcdCDJ uAIOAO AC"dAUS AA d future state. ...e.
 After some talk the trader gave him a letter of remission. which he went of to present to the magistrate. The affair was settled. but the Haitian was struck by the bad grace with which the magistrate dismissed him.
 He forthwith returned to the trader and asked him if he had received the $8 already paid into court The trader looked surprised and said that he had received nothing. .....
 'aThen. since you have remitted the debt, that $8 is mine," said the Hei- tian.
 Accordingly he went to the court to present his claim. The magistrate at once committed him to prison. A con- sul who had heard the story asked the magistrate what the man was sent to prison for. ..rz... .a-.- ..a
 ''For contempt of court" was the reply.

Animals With Pockets.

Did you ever think what a curious thing it is that some animals have pockets-great, roomy, fur lined vest pockets, big enough to carry family of little ones about in? Many of the animals native to Australia and Tas- mania have these convenient pockets: and so has the possum, common animal in our southern states. The kangaroo is the largest of this species. Full grown kangaroos go sixteen feet at a jump. and so when going on a long journey or running from hunters think. what a comfort it must be to Mother Kangaroo to know that her babies are snug and safe in her pock' et!-ExchaAge.

Boar Auntino Inr Rrittanv.

Boar hunting in Brittany is full of exciting incidents, and the boars sell dom die unavenged, for, though they are beset by mounted hunters and peasantry on foot armed with guns, the lifeblood of many a hound is drawn before the savage old tusker yields mp his life. His dangerous pow. CTS of offense cease only with his last gasp. Though the grip of the bulldog. the yelping of the hounds, the din of horns and the cries of the heaters may force him from his lair to seek refuge in flight, that withdrawal may be set down rather to prudence and disgust than to any fear When at last he is brought to bay with his back against a rock or a tree trunk, he, Is ready to defy host. Met in narrpw alley Of the forest, neither man nor horse can withstand the avalanche Of his onset Not infrequently the hunter who loves his hounds will feel but little triumph even in the death of many boars if, having begun the sea son with large pack, he ends 1t with miserable remnant, having left all his best and bravest Gogs on rhe field of battle.

Trudeau's classic experiment points us in the right direction. After inoc ulating a number of rabbits with tu berculosis he confined number of them indoors and turned the others outdoors. The latter all recovered while the former all died. This exper iment shows that rabbit living upon it's natural food and under nati1ra environment is proof against tubercu' losis There is abundant reason to be lieve this equally true of man. II other words, tuberculosis is not q nec essary evil of human life, but is nat ural consequence of erroneous habits and departure from natural conditions Man is naturally an outdoor animal A mole lives a healthy life in q bur row.
