About S:;iO o'clock lu the morning n largo gray goose was sighted oft tho starboard quarter or the now bridge by one or tho workmen, nnd tho alarm was given. The bird was steering duo north, nil sails set. In the teeth or a spunking breeze. A rowhoitt was quickly manned and the men set out to Intci copt the strange crart.

LOBSTERS AT $500 A MEAL. Porto Rlcan Journal Has High Idea of Morgan's Taste, Baltimore, Md. Now Hint Porto Hlco Is n part of tho United States, it behooves the Porto Weans to take heightened Interest in that most curi ous of North American products the miiltl-mllltonatre. And they aro doing so, judging from uu Item which ap peared In n newspaper of San Juan about J. Plcrpout Morgan, which may or may not lie known to rendors of more northerly latitudes. Hero it Is: "The lobHters destined for the ex tilted pnlato or Mr. Morgan arc caught expressly for him, and for nobody else; they do not belong to that vulgar class of Huh which everybody can acquire at (ho market by simply putting down tho price asked. Tho American multi millionaire has had built on the shores of the ocean a little hut, painted red. In this hut it lobster flahcr Uvea all the yenr lound. Ills Job Is an caBy one, because Mr. Morgan's craving for the delicious crustaceans comes upon him very seldom not more than three or four times a year. "Tho lobster fisherman" ubovo men tioned druws n salary of $2,000 yearly. Supposing that Hie American potentate eats lobsters four times a yenr, tho cost or his lobsters comes to $500 a catch. "Thus the gicntcBt of millionaires has Introduced once again the gas tronomic customs or the nnclont Romans. The Romans liked lampreys, Just as Mr. Morgnn likes lobsters. In order to reed the lampreys properly and be enabled to eat them in season they kept them in tanks at enormous expense. Some historians go so far us to say that the said Romans, in or der that their fish might havo a suc culent taste, were lu tho habit of giv ing them live slaves to cnt "nut tho American muHI-mtlltonalre has not as yet thought of treating his lobsters to a meal composed of red skins." THEY GROW TALL IN MONTANA. Combined Height of Ten Members of One Family Nearly Sixty Feet. Helena, Mont. A singular rivalry bus arisen hotween two Montana towns as to which possesses the tall est family. Llbby, In Flathead coun ty, professes to have more tall people than any town of Its size on the con tinent. Ten members or one family have a combined height or almost sixty feot. The father weighs 215 pounds and Is six feot 2 Inches tall. Tho mother weighs 225 pounds nnd is five feet bIx Inches tnll. The children size up as follows: First son. six feet 2V. Inches tall, age 21 years; second son, six root four inches, age 19 years; first daughter, five feet eight inches tall, ago 17; third son, six feet four inches, ngo 1G years; fourth son, five feot ten Inches, ago 14 years; llfth Bon, five feet, ago 11 years; second daughter, four feet two Inches, ago nine years; sixth son, three feet ten Inches, age four years. The head or this proud family Is Herman Bockman. Itcd Lodge takes exception to Lib- by's claim to the supremacy and calls attention to the fuct that in that city four membeiB of olio family aro taller than any four members of tho Bock man family. W. A. Talmago and his three sons are probably the tallest of any quartet In tho city. Mr. Tal mage is bIx feet 4V& Inches tall; Earl Tnlmnge, ago 18 years, Is bIx feet eight Inches tall; Elmer Talmago, ago 19 years, Is six feet VA Inches tnll, and Nntlinn, tho youngest, who Is only 12 years of age, measures five feet six Inches. This makes u total of 24 feot S-i Inches. Then tho nvorago holght of the. rather and three sons will un questionably compare with that of nny other family in the entire coun try. Wants to Fumigate a Cow, Cincinnati. Dr. H. F. Lyle, physi cian nt the branch hospital, luis an nounced that bo was open for suggos tloiiB on "how to fumigate a cow." Robert Armstrong, living opposite the pesthouse, clnlms that convales cing pesthoiiso patients swiped his cow, nnd ho won't take it back until it is fumlguted. They ofTered him CO cents rent for tho cow, but lie spurned It because he was afraid of thut half dollar. Many methods of fumigation havo been suggested to Dr. Lyle, but onch has hnd Its own disadvantages. Tho clly service, to which tho complaint was made, left It to Dr. Lyle with power to act, and he Tools responsible ror the methods as well us the results.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. Tho Old and Now Forms of Worship. It was tho custom of tho early Chris tians to worship in their old accus tomed way as well as in tho new wnys taught them by the Spirit. If they broke "the old bottles" before "tho now bottles" wero prepared, they would loise the very spirit and power of worship. As it wits, thoy lllled the old forms full of the spirit of worship, and thus were prepared to use tho new alone. V. 2. "And u certain man lnme." All we know of him Is (1) that ho was born lame; (2) his lameness was caused by weakness of his foot and ankles (v. 7); (3) ho was unable to walk; (4) ho wus poor; (5) he had been lnme 40 years (Acts 4:22.) "Was car ried." "Was being carried," possibly ut the sumo time thut Peter and John were entering. "Whom they laid." "Were accustomed to lay," as the tense shows. "At tho gate" (ono of the several gatos) "of the temple." The word Includes not only the houso but the courts and their buildings. "Which Is called Heautlful." Prob ably the gatoway between tho Court of the Gentiles and the Court of the Women, where tho Jews went for worship. This gatoway had mag nificent doors of Corinthian brass 75 feet high, and adorned with plates of silver uud gold. The Gate Heautlful. There aro many beautiful gates lu lire to higher nnd better things. The Gate of Hope, tho Gate of Love, the Gate of Char acter, tho Gate of Faithfulness, the Onto, of Prayer. Jesus Christ is tho Heautlful Gate to eternal life. Such As I Have Give I Thee. Only such as u person has can ho give to others, and only In so far as ho really possesses It. Pictures of fire will not warm, nor will semblances of virtues impart virtues. If u mun has money he can give money. If ho has truth he can Impart truth. If ono has cour age, hope, love, goodness, ho can In fuse them luto other souls. If he him self Is full of doubts, hate, ill-temper, bud passions, It Is these he will Im part to those around lilm, and by no means can such a one Impart to oth ers the good he hns not hlmsolf. .Hence It Is that the most Important element In teaching and In preaching Is the nuui behind them. A cold church cannot warm the impenitent to life. We cannot klndlo others unless we ourselves are on lire. The test of truo religion Is Its power to help men, to relieve suffering, to transform the lives of men. Tho gos pel of Christ "Is tho power of God un to salvation to everyone that be lieves;" that Is, to ovoryono who Is willing to receive the salvation. "Christianity Is nothing, according to the writers of tho New Testament, unless It moves lu the realm of pow er." C. E. Jefferson. Does tho church exert Its whole power of healing disease and alleviat ing suffering? There has been a and neglect of tho power of prayer and .fultli, and nfr personal uplift for tho slqk and suffering. Christian Science is a reaction against this neglect. Professors of psychology are begin ning to advocato tho power of mind over body. Doctors aro using this power more than hitherto. "Many dis eases can bo shaken off by simply lift ing up the tone of tho Interior llfo. Elizabeth llarrett wus u sick woman, confined to her bod, and Robert Hrownlng called upon her. Shu fell in love with him, nnd her love for htm lifted her out of bed und gavo her health again. Anything that quick ens the emotions, and fills tho heart withf thoughts of God, must havo Its Intluence on ovory organ of tho body, uud make It more difficult for disease to work its ravagOB there," O. E. Jef forson. Experience of tho Emmnnuol Epis copal Church In Uoston. Under Dr. Worcester, tho roctor, and his assist ant, Rov. Samuel McComb, D.

Many have boon grca'.ly benefited, One of tho needs of tho church to .day Is more emphasis on the power of od, on tho uplifting, encouraging lcowor of the gospol to triumph ovor tho ills of man. Howevor, this is only a lessor ono uf tho wnys In which tho gospol Is re Moving tho sick nnd sufforiug.
