AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.
Trumpet Blast That Drove the People
to Repentance.
Old Peter Cartwright was a famous
preacher and circuit rider many years
ago.
The exhorter was holding a camp
meeting In Ohio. There was a great
number of campers on the field, and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses at every service, but be
thought too few were being converted.
He felt that something should be done
to stir the sinners to repentance, so
he prepared a strong sermon on the
second coming of Christ. He told how
the world would go on in its sin and
wickedness and at last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and time would
come to an end. He described the
horrors of the lost and the joys of
those who were saved. The sermon
grew In Intensity, and he brought his
people up to a grand climax, when Sud
denly the sound of a trumpet smote
the ears of the anxious throng.
There was a great sensation, and
many fell upon their knees In terror
and began to repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned.
Pandemonium was let loose for a few
minutes. After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called to a
man up a tree, and he descended with
a long tin horn In his hand. The
speaker then turned In fierce wrath
and upbraided the people. He cried
out In stentorian tones that. If a man
"with a tin horn up a tree could
frighten them so, how would It be In
the last great end when Gabriel’s
trumpet sounded the knell of the world!
The sermon had a great effect upon
the vast audience, and many hundreds
flocked to the front and were con
verted.
Simple Whan You Know How.
An innocent cockney while In the
country asked a farmer how they man
aged to grow streaky bacon.
“Oh, It Is simple enough,” said the
honest agriculturist. “One week we
starve the pig or feed him very little.
That makes a layer of lean meat. Next
week we give him all he can possibly
eat. even working overtime, and that
raukes a row of fat. So by alternate
starving and feeding we get the beau
tiful streaky bacon.”
“Denr me,” said the cockney, "and
how do you make the ham?”
“Oh, we manage that by putting a
ring In the pig’s nose," was the reply.
—London M. A. P.
The Frontier Six Months for 75c
A WARSHIP TEST.
The Unexpected Beat to General Quar
ters at Midnight,
The ship is lying at anchor In a
distant port. It is night and nothing
Is heard hut the tramp of the sentry
on the forecastle and the ripple of
water at the gangway.
Only tlie officer of the deck, the quar
termaster and the guard are awake.
The entire crew are below decks and
dreaming in their hammocks.
The cabin dour opens aud the captain
steps forth softly, fully dressed and
wearing his sword and revolver. He
speaks in a low tone to the officer of
the deck, who sends an orderly for
ward with a message. In a moment
the orderly returns, bringing with him
the drummer, who stands silently at
the mast, drumsticks in hand, watch
ing the commander.
“Eight bells”—midnight-Ms struck.
At a silent signal from the command
ing officer the drummer poises his
sticks an Instant, then sounds the long
roll, or "alarm,” which is at once fol
lowed by the quick beat to "general
quarters.”
Instantly the scene changes to one of
apparently the utmost confusion. Four
hundred men leap from their ham
mocks. Passing a few turns of the
lashings around them, they throw them
Into their “nettings,” - then spring to
their stations at the batteries and cast
loose the guns.
A moment more and a bright flash
and roar from the forecastle pivot gun
bursts upon the stillness and gloom of
the night, followed quickly by the
broadside battery.
Each gun is fired once, a blank
charge, but enough to show that the
gun is in good order and ready for
service.
As suddenly the pandemonium sub
sides. Confusion gives place to silence
and order and not a sound is heard,
\Jbut the battle lanterns flashing along
the crowded deck reveal the well disci
plined crew standing at their quarters,
every man equipped with cutlass and
pistol, silent and alert. Sponges, ram
mers, supply boxes and battle axes lit
ter the deck; everything is provided
and ready as for action, while the
captain, accompanied by the executive
officer (the first lieutenant), with nn
orderly bearing a lantern, makes a
thorough inspection fore and aft and
below, including the powder division,
magazines and shell rooms, to see that
nothing Is lacking which would be re
quired in real action.
At the touch of the drum the ship
has been changed from deathlike still
ness to readiness for battle, every offi
cer and man at his station, armed, si
lent, expectant—and all in less than
three minutes!—Chicago News.
Cause of Giantism.
A learned Italian dector says that
giantism is a morbid process, a disease
due to an enlargement of a part of the
brain which Is endowed with growth
regulating functions. When that part
of the brain enlarged, the limbs grew
to an abnormal extent and other phys
ical changes occurred, the excess of
growth being chiefly in the lower jaw,
the arms and legs. No giant ever at
tains length of days. The average life
is only a fraction over twenty years.
Ireland has produced at least four
giants—McGrath, born in Tipperary in
1736 (he was seven feet five Inches in
height); Malone, seven feet six inches;
Murphy, seven feet three inches, and
Charles Byrne, seven feet six inches.
None of them ever reached great men
tal development
Old Dances In Old Times.
In Edward Scott’s “Dancing In AM
Ages” are some curious details about
the dances of old England.
“Joan Sanderson” was a “jolly
dance” in Mr. Scott’s definition, for be
fore it was ended each lady had kissed
all the gentlemen twice, and each man
had been equally enterprising. Mary
Stuart danced the “Volta,” though
“not so high and so dlsposedly” ns
Elizabeth. In King Charles’ time peo
ple danced “Trenchmore,” the “Cush
ion Dance,” “Omnium Gatherum” and
“Hoite cum Toite.”
"All In a Garden Green.” “Gathering
of Peascods,” “Lumps of Pudding.”
“Under and Over,” “The Bath,” “The
Slaughter House” and “Have at Thy
Coat, Old Woman,” are dances not
quite so old.
The Meaning of “Muff.”
The record of the fact that muffs
were once worn by more men than wo
men in Paris suggests the old Ingenious
definition of a muff as “a soft thing
that holds a lady’s hand without squeez
ing it.” “Muff” appears to have come
to us from German, in which language,
curiously, “muff” means not only a
hand comforter, but also a sulky per
son or a growling dog. These seem,
however, to be two different words,
Was our own metaphorical “muff” an
allusion to the effeminacy of muff
wearers or simply an intimation that
the persou was distinctly “soft?”—
London Chronicle.
True to the Adage.
“My son, my son!” exclaimed the* dis
mayed mother as she saw all her boy’s
belongings stacked in a corner of the
closet. “Haven’t I tried over and over
to teach you that you should have n
place for everything?”
“Yep,” said the son cheerfully, “and
this is the place.”—Chicago News.
Fame.
“Who was James Boswell?” asked
the teacher of the class In English lit
erature.
“He was Dr. Samuel Johnson’s press
agent,” answered the .young man with
the bad eye.—Chicago Tribune.
Good temper is like a sunny day—it
sheds its brightness everywhere,—
