Alive unGer an Avalanche.

Human beings occasionally live through incredibly long imprisonments after their dwellings have been over whelmed by avalanches. On March 10, 1755, aValanches buried the village of Bergemoletto, in the Italian Alps, and on April 9 three women were dug out alive from q stable in which they had been immured for thirty-seven days in the dark beneath the mass of snow which lay forty-two feet higher than the roof. With them had been buried little boy, six goats, donkey and some hens. #...
 The child, the donkey and the fowls soon died, but the goats helped the women to survive, their milk supple menting the thirty or forty cakes and the pocketful of chestnuts upon which they depended for food. Hope of find- ing the women alive had been aban- doned when far fin April the brother of one had dream in which she ap- pealed to him for rescue.
 The weather then at last made ex- cavation possible, and the women were restored to the world and presently to health.-Chicago News.

Sheen as Land Cleaners.

Tn discussing the value of sheep on country place their service as land cleaners should not be ignored. They like pasture grasses. but they seem to like weeds and bushes even better for browse. They will often clean up an old field in year or two, so that what was a tangle or unsightly weeds and shrubs will appear a smooth shaven lawn. Angoras are simply wonders at this sort of thing, but the common, everyday sheep of the ordinary breed will do mighty good work if you con- fine her to her job and put fin enough of her. Five years ago one small pns- ture of mine was veritable chaparral of thorn bushes and solidago. I set the ewes in it, and today it's as pretty a bit of sward as there Is on the ranch -bushless and weedless and thick turfed.-Country Life In America.

Ancient Oath Taking.

A method of taking the oath far more hygienic than kissing the book was that observed at the Forest of Dean Mine court for about 300 years, beginning in the thirteenth century. 1t was not for any hygienic reasons, but to prevent soiling the book that the miners before giving evidence touched the four gospels with a stick of holly. The witnesses wore their hats to show that they were free min ers.-London Chronicle.

Prayer Msstina In the Commons.

For many years a prayer meeting has been held in the house of con- mons once a week during every parlia- mentary session. No one knows who originated the idea, but the records of the proceedings, which are faithfully noted each week, show that iIF the year 1883 the well known Quaker Mr. T. Powell Buxton and the evangel- icals Sir George Grey and MT. Zach ary Macauley were in constant at tendance. The prayer meeting Is held fin a room granted for the purpose by the sergeant-at-arms and Is restricted to twenty minutes. The proceedings are very simple. At each weekly meet ing a president for the following week is chosen. On the day of assembling Tuesday, at 3 o'clock-the president for the day opens the meeting, reads a portion of the Scriptures and either offers an extempore prayer or calls on one of the members to pray. Two or three others offer short prayers, and the meeting closes with the benedic- tion.-London News.

Not In Her Class.

While delivering an address at a woman's club an actress told the story of young woman prominent in New York society who desired to achieve histrionic honors.
 The manager to whom she confided her desire pointed out the inadvisabil- ity of the step she contemplated and added that even were he disposed to give her the chance she coveted he would still be in doubt whether her talents were such as to justify such action on his part.
 "What is particularly desired by us at the present time," he said, ''is the service of people who know the me- chanics of the stage"

A Diet of Wild Honey.

Wild honey as a change is an agree able sweetmeat, but after a few days constantly partaking of it the Euro pean palate rejects it as nauseous and almost disgusting.

It has escaped the Biblical commentators that one of the princi- pal hardships that John the Baptist must have undergone was his diet of wild honey.-Geograph Magazine.
