LONDON , Jan. SKI. [ Corrosiwndcnco of Tun
BEB. ] No one who has visited Algiers will
over forget the lovely though diminutive
mosque of Sldl Abd-el-Hhaman , which stands
above the garden of Marengo and overlooks
the sea. Its surroundings nro charming , and
within Its little cemetery are eucalyptus ,
mulberry and Jig trees shading the quaint old
tombs. The Inner chapel Is a sort of a
shrine from being the burial place of num
bers of Moslem saints , Pachas nnd Deys ;
and a wondrous number of sacred relics , em
blems nnd carvings , with lamps , ostrich eggs ,
embroideries , grotesquely decorate the
columns , walls and hang from the ceilings.
Moro than 1,000,000 francs have been ex
pended on such gifts nnd tokens.
It is in this little mosque that ono will
pee so many Arab women. The glittering
nllk balks hide their faces , but there Is a
constant atmosphere of perfume , an endless
tinkle of concealed and half-concealed Jew
elry , a continuous murmur of of musical
voices in prayer , and a ceaseless rustle of
woman's attire ns they come , goer prostrate
themselves In their devotions. The latter
nro certainly solemn and impressive , whether
down among the old Usher-folk at the Grand
mosque with the Malekl rite , or hero where
the wealthier Arab men and women come
clad in the richest textures of the Orient and
laden often with Jewels which would pur
chase a king's ransom.
The Moslem must pray llvo times each
day. Every act of prayer begins with these
words from the koran : "Pralsu bo to ( Sod.
the Lord of all creatures , the most merciful ,
t'io Lord of the day of Judgment 1 Thco do
wo worship. Wo implore Thy aid. Direct
us in the right wn > . " This , and other pas
sages are repeated , led by the tiialib , a
sacred scholar and an old man. In the nature
of responses. The faces of all are toward
the east , their Mecca. At each mention of
.the name of God , every worshiper prostrates
himself so that seven parts of the body the
head , hands , kneesand , feet touch the
sacred carpet together.

The booksellers of Scotland , nnd particu
larly the second-hand booksellers , dealing in
curious and valuable works , of which there
are very many In Edinburgh nnd Glasgow ,
do not entertain a very kindly feeling for
the memory of the late Lord Tennyson.
They clto many little unpleasant character
istics of the laureate as a man , but their
particular reason for unfriendliness lies In
the fact that , as they Insist , ho was oven
more of a Shylock than Ituskln In all his re
lations with booksellers , and that not many
years since ho nearly caused the ruin of ono
of their number. Air. Konert Forrester ,

A stranger ono day sauntered Into Mr. For

kempt and betraving all the ordinary marks
of a seedy customer beneath a f rousted slouch
hat. Ho was very anxious , ho said , to get a
very cheap copy of two of Tennyson's poems
as gifts to iwor folk who were not able to pur
chase them. Ho was shown several copies of
the cheapest copyright English editions , but
these were far too dear. Hadn't Mr. For
rester something within his means , perhaps
ono of those cheap American reprints ? Oh ,
yes , ho had two copies , loft by some family
returning from America , but It was Illegal to
sell them. That would not matter in so
good n cause. The grizzled stranger pressed
the purchase , and finally secured the two
copies for four shillings. Ho was none other

the unmanly artlllco ho succeeded In mulct

Everybody In the United States knows ,
or knows about , bravo and good old Robert
Collyer , who , though for a quarter century
ono of our greatest of preachers , works In
Ills study besldo the very anvil on which his
'prentice days wore passed before ho became
n full fledged Yorkshire blacksmith. Ills
master was ' 'Owd Jackie" Birch , the village-
smith of quaint old Ilkloy , In Wharfcdalo.
When you stand by its ancient church of
All Saints' and look in upon its mossy graves
nnd the Runlo crosses , your hands will grasp
the bars of Us hugo Iron gates. They were
forged on "Owd Jackie's" anvil by this same
stout hearted ' -Yorkshire blacksmith. " And
somehow as one turns away from Ilkley the
feeling comes strongly that there was
wrought into these rods and bars a hero grit
more Impressive nnd imperishable than is
revealed in all other monuments or tokens

IrUli Clmructnri.
There Is an old quatrain among the Irish
peasantry , the origin of which , for the spirit
of Inslstlvo prophesy it contains , might fairly
bo attributed to the provident genius of ono
of the characters to which It refers :
While Ireland Is ould Ireland
You'll have foruvcnnoru
The boi'oiiKh and the corr.ig
De.sldn tlio cabin door.
The bocough was the wandering minstro !
nnd story teller of Ireland , Ho had keen
scent-for every spot whcro geniality ami
generosity nourished ; but poverty , oppres
sion and sorrow have long ago withdrawn
the scant cheer that once gave him place.
The bocough Is gone. Hut the other one ,
the corrag , who requires no raiment , food or
housing , remains within the shadow of the
Irish cabin door. Throughout Conncmara
nnd particularly In a former tramp dowi
from the Balllndoon district to Cloghmore
nnd the sea , 1 saw ono of these silent , dried-
up old fellows trembling in the wind by the
door of every hut or cabin I passed.
To my fancy each ono took on n separate
individuality and seeming. This ono stooi"
there defiant , as if repellant of your ap
iiioach. That one had a saucy air , as if tc
intimate that a line , "right" blackthorn wa
concealed about his person. Another seemed
decrepit and weary from silent vigil on
there in the bitter mountain wind. Another
was bent and leaning as though It conic
stand there no longer. Another seemed to
beckon to the passer tocnter. or to hint will
weary gesture that you may keep upon youi
way. And many , very many , stood boweil
nnd sadly attentive as If listening In reve
rent solemnity to endless talcs of want and
woo that come in hopeless tones from the
half-starved souls within.
The corrag Is but a tall bundle of limbs o :
osiers , set before the door to break the bur
of the savage mountain blasts , "tho oulil
man of tl > o branches , " the peasants called
it ; but ono sometimes feels that this In
sensate typified protector of the Irish cabin
was the only object In gulso of human thai
ever got thus near the man-neglected , God
forsaken peasantry of this pitifully eondl
tloncd land ,
Htimlilo ( lomloln I.lfo In Venice.
To my mind a scene in early morning or
Grand canal in Venice , Is far moro Interest
Ing than ono In the early evening , when tb _
faded aristocracy of the city are moving
ubout' with appaicnt llstlessncss In the !
private black gondolas , decorated with thci.
owners' coais-of-arms , propelled by private
gondoliers In ridbulous liveries , or at night
when the canal In general Is wholly nnd
offensively n show object to opencd-mouthed
strangers. In the very early morning , while
the gray Is yet upon the water and the
gurgling of the tides Is like the
chuckling of night Imps in the
dark retreats of the lowest arches
- - ml angles , then it is that the oddest and
most fascinating processions pass and re-
pass away down there In the shadows be
neath your window ,
Scores of little , long barges loaded with
vegetables from the flat , outlying Islands
nvo on their way to the market at the Ktalto.
The sails nro red. with blue tips nnd yellow
center ploces , anil most grotesque figures of
Madonnas are painted somewhere on their
gaudily-colored stems. These barges are
propelled by iwles In the hands of men In
purple , pink , blue nnd orange garments , and
very often a bareheaded peasant woman is
piled In with the vegetables. Hero nnd there
u sandalo , n lighter and moro graceful bark
than the gondola , darts by. It U rowed by
two men , with tasselcd caps , like the His-
cayau llshcrtncn. A half dozen goats are
tied head and tall to the gu&waloiand women
and children are milking thcso on tholr way
to the tinxt customer
Bat-ens with soldiers speeding to or from
guard-changing , fill the stmdowy way with a
din of chattorlng profanity. Hero are Jour
nuns with bcwed heads helm ? rowed on some
errand of mercy. Again whole families of
the lowlier classes , especially pious through
some common bereavement , nro setting out
to be present nt some very cheap and early
mass , Hero comes a crowd of boats with
villagers , vegetables , fowls , flagons of milk
bestowed In dewy wisps of gr\ss , rolls of
butter In last year's sweet , wluto corn husks ,
nnd numberless and nameless stuffs for the
mercalo. They nro from the mainland ham
lets and must have been astir at midnight.
Following thcso Is a curious procession of
gondolas piled higher than the gondoliers'
heads with household goods ; and the people
who are thus "moving" follow In their own
gondolas , suggesting n funeral of household
gods cut short In Its cortege ,
There are friars with hugh baskets In their
gondolas setting out to the markets to buy
and beg for their brethren and the poor ;
tired fishermen with boat loads of gleaming
fruit of the sea ; sailors subdued and sullen
after an all night's roysterlng on their way
back to their dog's life and the ships ; mcs-
semrers with the night's collection of tele
grams ; bakers In white linen caps and shirts ,
with boat-loads of black , brown oind whlto
bread ; water-carriers with huge casks and
flagons of drinking water ; nutchors , Icemen ,
grocerymon , all In boats making their llrst
morning rounds ; and all of them down there
upon the water in the shadows seeming like
some weird and silent maskers in u dream.

Scotland has never been moro thrilled
In expectancy or dlssappolnted In outcome
than in the carcor , so far , of her at onetime
time most promising of jwcts , .Alexander
Anderson. There Is a penny homo paper
called the People's Journal , published at
Dundee. It encourages contributions from
country homo folk and the lowly strlvers In
towns. AlkMit twelve years ago some tender
heart rhymes , rugged and rough but with a
masterful pathos in them , among which were
"Cuddle Doou" and "Jcnnio wP the Aim
( crooked ) Teeth , " were noticed in this sheet
over the name of Alexander Anderson ,
widely copied and commented on.
Then came a poem which electrified the
Land o' Cakes , and which will ever remain
as much a heart song of the entire Scottish
people as any verso ever penned by Hobert
Burns. It was called "Castles 1' the Air. "
and hero Is the first stanza , as I recall it
from memory :
The bonnlc , bonnle bairn wlm sits poUIn' a the
nee ( nslips ) ,
Hi'i-ln11 the lire wl his wee round face ,
phlii' ut the pnflln-towe ( Iliiino-ilnrts )
What sei's hi ! iliiTrV
lla , the young dreamer's biggin castles 1' the
air !
Rov. George Gllfillan , pastor of the United
'resbytcrian church at Dundee , ono of the
many editors of Burns , hunted up the un
known genius and at first brought his per-
ionality to public notice. Ho found the poet
to be what wo call in America a "section-
land , " that is , ono of a gang keeping rail
way-tracks in repair ; "surfacemen" they are
ailed in Britain ; and this strapping young
'ellow who had given Scotland its finest fire
side poem for a half century was earning but
three shillings , sixpence pence per day.
The discovery caused immense excitement
.n . Scottish literary circles , and Sir Noel
I'aton , her majesty's limner for Scotland ,
.lalntcr of "Oberon and Tltania , " "Light of
the World. " "Christ in the Garden , " etc. , at
once took the surfaceman bard under his
lowcrful patronage. It resulted In securing
for the poet the appointment of assistant
librarian in the Edinburgh university
.ibrary. That seemed to end the man's
genuine poetical career. His rhyme ,
iippcaring at long Intervals , is stilted
and scholastic. This is held , in
the deepest resentment by those still
fondly crooning "Cuddle Doon" nnd
'Castles [ ' the Air. " I tell my Scottish
iterary friends they must lot the man
sup at learning's fount for the terrible
' 'drooth" that was on him ; that then ho will
nod and doze ana hibernate ; and that by
ind by ho will sing like a prisoned bird
across the years in memory of his lowly
hours. But they will not believe me , and
insist that tha next poet who is given n lifo
position in Scotland will bo "bro't o'er the
heckle-pins sairlyl"
Irish MlnitrcUjr.
The minstrels of Ireland nro not all gone
from the highways and byways of Erin. The
mournful harp and plaintive pipe may have
given way to the breezy banjo and crooning
violin , but the songs which these
accompany are the songs of Ireland
still. Down by the rotten Clad-
dagh wharves of old Galway town , I re
cently came upon a rapt audience enthralled
by the dulcet notes of Tim Brennan , the
"wandering minsrhel of Tlppcrary" ono of
the sweetest singers I ever heard , and ono
who would have been great were It not Cor
his love of "tho cinder In It , " as they aptly
term the west of Ireland mountain dew.
I had seen Tim many , many times before
in Ireland. Our tramplngs had brought us
into the same relations of artist nnd
responsive auditor so many times that , as ho
tipped mo n comforting wink of recognition ,
and I noticed that his violin had been re
placed by the temporary though ample musi
cal makeshift of n banjo wrought from the
head of an ancient Irish chum , In the pause
following his .ballad , I felt emboldened to
toss nlm back his wink with the query :
"And Tim , why didn't you bring the churn
with its head ?
"Faith , yor honor , " ho replied In a flash
and with n winsome smile , holding the
churn head banjo aloft so all could see ,
"faith I never argue wid a lady an' , yor
honor , a bould Irish wooman stud at its
other ind 1"
I had got u taste of his sprightly and never
vicious wit , and ho as quickly got my shilling
for that same ; moro power to the quick
hinges of that nimble tongue of the wander
ing minstrel of Tippcrary 1

James Clarcback , about 45 years of ago ,
was recently engaged nt Herrington's Cor
ners , ten miles from Klmirn , N. Y. , in resur
recting the remains of Mrs. C. M. Herring-
ton in order to bury them in another place.
The body had been under ground for tlilrty-
iivo years , and In digging for it Clarcback
struck a great deal of water. Ho
reached the remnants of the outer
box surrounding the coffin , nnd when
ho pulled them out of the way ho was
greatly astonished to see what appeared to
bo Mrs. Hcrrington'a body , apparently un
disturbed and so llfoliko as to convoy to his
mind the belief that a living , breathing
woman was before him.
"I tell you I was scared , " said Clareback
to a correspondent , " and I nearly fell over
in a faint in the gravo. When I made an
examination , however , I discovered that it
was not the body I saw before mo , but an
exact photograph of it on the top of
the conin lid. I then raised the collln and
opened it. With the exception of the head ,
it contained only a few crumbling bones.
The bead , however , was perfectly preserved.
The bones were covered with flesh which
had petrified , the whole being as uard as a
stone , whllo the hair had grown to an un
usual length , nnd was very abundant. "
The coffin lid was exhibited to a number
of people. It was made of cedar and con
tained an exact and perfectly clear repre
sentation of the deceased woman as she ap
peared when she died thirty-live years ago.
Just how to account for this no ono knows ,
but In lieu of any better explanation that
made by the grave digger is accepted. It is
to the effect that the water flowing through
the grave must have raised the body so that
It was pressed against the cofiln lid and the
action of the gases arising from the body in
conjunction with the nature of the wood ,
forced the picture to appear as it did on the
outer side of the coftln lid.

.Mr. E. N. Haincnof Hustings , Nob. , has
ho distinction of belli } ? ono of the few nows-
> ai > er collectors In the world j probably the
only ono In the United States. In Germany
hero nro a number , ono In particular pos
sessing u collection of over O.OJO. The con-
unts of thcso collections , however , are clas
sified as belli ) ? scientific , religious , secular ,
sic. , lu character , while Mr. Hamcn's idea
ins been to secure a representative copy of
> apors printed In each written languano In
world. For three years ho has been engaged -
gaged In this work , and now his collection
lumbers hundreds , representing sonio llfty
lu looking over the collection ono Is struck
> y the typographical inferiority of the
Kuropean papers to those published In this
country. Almost without exception the
> aper is light and soft , while the Ink used
seems to have boon much diluted before
islng. The press work Is poor and the
oreniiin of any second rate olllco In the
union could probably "mako up" in a moro
attractive manner. The advertisements are
'ully twenty-live years behind the times , the
fonts used precluding any artistic display.
Ono of the most' prominent papers In the
collection is the Paris Figaro , familiar to
all readers of THE Urns' * foreign cablegram's.
: t is a six-column folio , soiling for three
cents , printed on poor p.iper in a not very
irtistiu manner. The "want ads" are a
very natural feature and coihidcriiblo spaeo
s ffiven to a theatrical department. A
characteristic column is headed Sport in
Unglish and is followed by the names of a
long string of racehorses.
\\'ith the UolR'inlan paper , liens
Noroda , the unfamiliar press censor's
stamp is seen , much like a postmark , on the
nargln. This p.ippr is printed in 1'ragno'
ind has as great a fondness for supplemental
' inserts" as a western weekly. The
Jlirudinsko Noving differs from the
Torinor in not having the censor's stamp on
the margin. Instead , tliero is a yellow
stamp about the si/o of the now Columbian
stamps which was stnclc on the paper before
irintlng. The Algemei'ii Handolsblad , or
'
N'ow Amsterdam Courant is a six-column
folio remarkable chiefly for its advertise
ments of liquors , hotels and sowing ma
chines. in low Dutch.
Do Koophandcl , published at Antwerp.
resembles the French papers In quality or
.Minting. A prominent feature is a list of
.hi1 arrivals and doparluros of the myriads
of steamships which come to Antwerp , all
chronicled in Flemish. The most noto-
.vorthy German paper is the Unrlin Tupo-
blatt. It is a small , poorly printed paper
with three wide columns. About a page of
idvortlbcmcnts Is admitted without any at
tempt ut display. With it , as in most of the
continental newspapers , the lower third of
i couple of pages is given up to a serial
story. The Tagebliitt is most noteworthy
'or its supplements ; Ulk , a satirical paper
ibout the sl/.o ofl ifo ; a daily amusement
paper , Famillen Blatt ; Zeitgeist , and a
commercial supplement.
The Pester Lloyd of Budapest , Austria ,
3 as nearly like an antiquated German-
American weekly as anything. The
Nemzet of the same place , a Hungarian
l > aper , is larger than TUB BEE , , yet with
only live columns. It is i a six-
page publication and , contrary to .tbo gen
eral rule , has some very gaudy .advertise
ments.
In this collection nro n number of Greek
tapers published In Athens. Ono , with an
ndeciplierablo name , is an Illustrated four-
column folio , printed on line paper in Greek
characters. In ono a good picture of Glad
stone appears , followed by a biography. All
articles are followed by a facsimile signa
ture of the author. It seams strange to think
of lifo insurance advortismcnts nnd ex
planations of comic pictures in the language
of Plato and Demosthenes.
Following a Greek flaily naturally comes a
Latin magazine , Alavdra , published at
Aquilic , Italy , Uio.town Julius Ciesar chose
as the headquarters of his cisalpine forces.
It is a university magazine of sixteen pages ,
and altogether is not larger than half a page
ofTiiEBnu. The three copies sent were
shipwrecked and still show traces of salt
water. This is believed to bo the only Latin
paper published. The Gaelic Journal of
Dublin is another remnant of an almost dead
language. It compromises with the super
seding language by publishing part in En
glish. A love story In serial form has nn
English vocabulary at the close of each
chapter.
The Spanish papers resemble the English
Journals. An almost startling feature of a
couple is a funeral advertisement on the last
page Hanked by patent medicine ads , El
Liberal claims to have the largest circula
tion of any in Spain , and soils for a penny.
The usual continued story is found at th
bottom of the lirst and second pages. Th
Portuguese papers , published at Lisbon , lire
mainly given up to advertisements of steam
ship lines. The Journal of Commerce is a
pooly printed seven-column folio , nnd in
typographical execution could bo outdone by
any frontier weekly.
In Constantinople the Levant Herald Is
published in Turkish. The Arable print
looks , like shorthand run riot. It apparently
is printed backward , the fourth page of an
English folio being the Turkish tlrst. A big
green stamp was put on the paper before
printing. A curiosity is the Sina Hapa
Woceklyo Taouanpahn , whatever that may
inoim , published at Fort Totten , .North
Dakota , for the Sioux Indians. It is an Illus
trated Catholic monthly with a children's
department in English.
The Armenian papers published nt Con
stantinople have numerous "scare heads. "
The Armenian character Is a little moro like
a hen track , if possible , than the Arabic ,
and the effect Is dazzling to the eye. The
usual olllclal stamps are utllxcd. An Arme
nian paper from Asia minor with the date 1804
was very neatly executed.
The common peculiarity of the South
African Boor papers is the number and
variety of the cattle advertisements. The
South African has In addition an advertise
ment for Beecham's pills , while Our Land
substitutes ono of a New York lifo insur
ance company. A Welsh paper published at
Uli.vl , Wales , whose name is composed
mainly of y's and d's , is of about the same
general style as the weekly New York
Tribune. But ono Hebrew newspaper Is
published in the world , the Hamagid of
Berlin , n weekly. The Hebrew Hoview of
Paris Is n monthly which reads backward ,
but has a French title in the usual place.
The Romanic language , ouco spoken by mil
lions , but now confined to some half u hun
dred villages In Switzerland , has two papers ,
the Gasotta Romonscha and the 11 Sur-
sllvan , published at Chur. The latter Is a
very small sheet , so small , In fact , that an
American would hardly think of using It for
shaving paper.
Quito n contrast Is a regular blanket sheet
published at Copenhagen In the Danish lan
guage , whoso name Is omitted as it would
Ull nearly two lines of Tun BEE. The Kat-
shin Shimbun of Tokto , Japan , is a radical ,
progressive paper which Is said to have a
very largo circulation. It Is profusely
Illustrated and some of its cuts would do
credit to a Lincoln paper. Witli true orien
tal thrift the margin at the fold of the paper
Is closely filled with type set In
smaller size. The Siamese papers
from Bangkok nro refreshing tn their
light faced , airy typo. The Government Ga
zette has n wonderful creation of pagodas ,
white elephants nnd gorgeous dragons incor
porated In its head.
The gem of the collection is the official
paper of China , the Peking Gazette , bclfovod
to bo about the only copy extant In the
United States. It Is the oldest paper In the
world , nnd n newspaper man always approaches
preaches It with the sumo feeling that actu
ated Mark Twain at the tomb of Adam , so
awe-Inspiring is the though tot its 1,400 years
of lifo. It Is about the size of a pocket mem
orandum book , ten inches by three nnd a
half , printed on an almost gossaiQCr thick
ness of doubled paper , In black typo three-
eighths of an inch high. It has a yellow
cover with red letters , the cover being gilt

The Swedish periodicals from Stockholm
are of n very neat order , the Norwegian from
Christiana being exceptionally good. The
Caucasian , Qruslnlan and Koumnninn papers
from Caucasus are Interesting , some being

Polish Oazoty Handlowii looks decidedly

was so heavy that the typo was almost
ininchod through the , paper. In Jerusalem
are a number of papers with the yellow gov
ernment stamp stuck on before printing.
One , the House of Jacob , Is published in
the German-Jewish vernacular. The Persian
Iran is better printed than ono would ex
pect , and the Itala Is n llttlo larger , hav
ing four colums to the former's three. A
unique feature Is the map on the last page ,
about as dllTcrent from nn American railroad
time table map as ono could imagine. The
Scharaff. is u lithographed folio , two of
the four pages being given up to Ideal per
traits.
But two papers are published In Icelandic :
ono In Hoykjavik , the Isafold , and ono at
Wlnnopeg , Canada. The Isafold is n small
three-column sheet with a serial story on
the bottom of two pages. The Hawaiian
Islands are represented by n number
of papers obtained through Glaus Sprcckles ,
the sugar king. Hi-sides the Hawaiian , a
Chincso and a Portuguese paper are issued
at Honolulu. Nearly twenty Italian papers
were obtained from Home. One , La Ossor-
vatoro Homano. is evidently religious in tone ,
for underneath the head appears the papal
coat of arms , and the llrst column of the ilrst

Dean Hole tells of H'Sundy ' school bov who
answered the qiiostion | "What proof have
wo of St. Peter's repentance ! " with "Please ,
sir , ho crowed three times. " His sister ,
wlulo teaching in'thounday , school , asked
her class what was meant by the law and
the prophets. A bright little girl immedi
ately responded , "If yp i please , ma'am , it is
when you sell anybody up. " At a certain
service the rector , squiug there yas only ono
alms dish provided , uslicd a rustic to bring a
dish from the dinbig'iinom table of the rec
tory and pass it up and down both sides of
the north alslo. Vhen the command was
carried out , the rustic yhlspcred in the rec
tor's car : "I've dine ( as yer told me , sir.
I've taken It down yerfsidoof the alslo and
up t'other , but theyHMnono of them have
any. " Judge of thvqrthy rector's amaze
ment when ho discovered that the dish was
f ull of biscuits 1 ? i i

Roberta. Ingergoll : * Not long ago I was
dining with somo.-gcntlClncn. Next to mo
sat a minister. Ho was talking a little on
this subject. I finally udked him : "Now , "
says I , "you are talking so much about the
apostles nnd the Lord and those things.
Will you answer mo a question honor
bright ! " Ho said ho would. I said : "Which
would you rather spend an evening with , ono
of the apostles or Hobert Burns ! " "Well , "
ho said , "if I tell you , you'll tell on mo. " I
said : "Then I know what * your answer is ,
because if you had been going to say ono of
the apostles you would never toll mo not to
tell on you. "
"My erring brother , " asked Rev. Mr.
Coldtoa. "why do you persist in drinking
rum , when water , cold water , is so much
better ? "
"I guess I know more about how good
water is than you , " answered Mr. oish-
forth. "You temperance people have 'oa
of the delight of a good , nice , cold of
water the next morning. "
"I have a great plan for raising me oy for
the missionary fund. " said the unmarried
deacon. "Wo will have every woman In
the church give a nlokol for eacn year of her
age. "
"It will work better , " said the married
deacon , "if wo have every woman contribute
a nicKel for each year she lacks of forty. "

lows : "Walt on the Lord and Ho shall
exalt thco to Inherit the land , " and along-
tldo of it is a warning from the landlord ,
reading ; "Watch your hat and overcoat , as
the proprietor is not responsible for them. "

Cuinso The Rov. Dr. Thirdly forgot him
self yesterday. Fangle How was that ?
Cumso In reading the scripture lesson ho
said : "Yea , man dleth and wasteth away.
Yea , man giveth up the ghost and where is
ho at ? "
