Cruelly Blunt
The minister who atlends to the
spiritual wants of a country parish
In Scotland Is not much of a preacher
and In other ways is Inefficient One
by one his elders left him and joined
other churches in the neighborhood
As he saw the number diminishing he
felt that It would soon be necessary
to appoint men to take their places In
the eldership The time came at
length when he had to moye in the
matter lie took the beadle into his
conQdence lie was sure If anybody
could assist him In his difficulty it was
that functionary
John he said to him one Sabbath
after service I want you to assist me
In getting up a list of new elders You
are well acquainted with the parish
and remember I will have none but
thoroughly good men You know the
very snuffers for the candles In the
great temple of Jerusalem were made
of pure gold
Well sir returned the beadle that
may be but to tell the truth I see
little use o huntln through the parish
for golden snuffers as lang as we have
only a brass candlestick Glasgow

fellows will make fun of me and abuse
you She reflecting Yes thats so

The Triumph of Yh
Tho total number of those fho per
ished In tho slego and capture of Jeru
salem Is estimated by JosepKs at
1100000 persons 07000 were taken
captive by the Romans Of these 700
of tho finest and strongest were select
ed to grace the triumphal procession
of Titus The old and tho weak who
could not bo used the Romans had
butchered in cold blood Those over
seventeen years of age were part of
them sent Into the Egyptian mines
part of them forced to appear in bat
tle with wild beasts and be torn to
pieces by them or to fight as gladiators
with ono another to delight tho eyes
of the heathen populace In Caesarea
Phlllppi alone at the celebration of
the birthday of Domltian more than
2500 Jews shed their blood in the
arena Tho males under seventeen
years of age and the women were
sold directly into slavery Titus with
all his prisoners and all his booty
marched to Rome where ho had a bril
liant triumph In the year 71 A D
The sacred vessels of the temple were
carried before the Imperator and
Simon and John for the first time
shoulder to shoulder were obliged to
march before the chariot of tho victor
with the 700 chosen captives Simon
being the real leader was first scourged
and then throttled at the stake in ac
cordance with Roman custom John
finished his career In prison
A- Magnolia Elysium
When good Chaiiestonians die their
bodies it is said go to Magnolia ceme
tery and their souls to the Magnolia
gardens Indeed It were quite ex
cusable In a wandering spirit if
chancing on these gardens when
azaleas were in their radiant perfec
tion he should mistake the place for
Elysium especially If looking for such
a gardenlike Elysium as Derricks
Although widely known and visited
yearly by hundreds Magnolia is not
a public garden but a noble old estate
on the Ashley river belonging now
as It has belonged for 200 years to the
Drayton family of South Carolina
Very much as the folk of Tokyo go
out to worship the beauty of the cher
ry blossoms so in March and April
Charleston people and any strangers
fortunate enough to be within their
gates make a pilgrimage to Magnolia
During the season the little steamer
plies between Charleston and Mag
nolia making the trip twice daily

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS
What a Little Silver Fish TaugrA
French Beadmaker
Ill tell you said a jeweler hvS
the wonderfully perfect artificial peart
came to be invented
A rich French beadmaker Moise
JnquLn he lived in the seventeenth
century found a pond In his garden
covered one morning with a lovely slV
very luster Amazed he called lib
gardener who said it was nothing
some albettes had got crushed that
waii all
Albettes were little silver fish bleaks
tho Leuciscus alournus The gardener
explained that if you crushed them
they always gave the water a pearly
sheen like that Jaquiu put on his
thinking cap
For six years he worked with beada
and bleaks wasting millions of both
but finally he achieved success He
learned how to extract the pearly lus
ter from the bleaks scales and to cov
er a glass bead with it
What he did and his method is
still used was to scrape the scales from
the fish wash and rub them and save
the water The water decanted gave
off a lustrous fluid of the thickness of
oil a veritable pearl paint a magic
fluid that imparts a lovely pearly sheen
to everything it is applied to
It takes 1000 bleaks to yield an
ounce of this pearl paint New Or

CIRCUS RIDERS
They Earn Good Salaries but Their
Careers Are Short
A man horseback rider receives from
75 to 123 a week and his career as a
principal rider lasts about ten years It
Is short not so much because these men
get stiff and lose their agility as be
cause they lose their nerve Nearly all
circus folk marry young and with their
added responsibilities comes a lively
sense of danger which they ignored in
younger days A man rider who can
not turn a somersault on a horse can
not command more than 50 a week A
woman rider who can perform this
feat gets from 150 to 200 a week if
she is a finished rider
This isnt much when all the disad
vantages of the calling are taken into
consideration but it should be remem
bered that all the expenses are paid
Including the care feeding and of
course the transportation of their
horses All they have to provide Is
their own clothing For the men riders
clothes do not constitute much of a
factor and the women nearly always
make their own except those provided
by the management
French Rags High Priced
A collector of rags offered the man
ager of a large boarding house a cer
tain price for a bag of wornout lirien
These rags are worth more than
that said the shrewd landlord I
run several houses In this neighbor
hood and all are occupied exclusively
by French guests
The dealer apparently considered
that remark sufficiently explanatory
He cast a hasty glance upon the con
tents of the bag then raised the price
And he could well afford to raise it
too sard the landlord Even at that
rate he will make money off the things
French rags the world over bring a
higher price than any other The rea
son why French people wear a bet
ter quality of linen and their castoff
garments are In demand by all manu
facturers of high grade paper New

The Congregation Smiled
Two country clergymen had agreed
to exchange pulpits on a certain date
One of them made the following sol
emn announcement to his congregation
on the Sabbath previous to the event
My dear brethren and sisters I have
the pleasure of stating that on next
Sunday morning the Rev Zachariah B
Day will preach for you Let us now
sing two verses of hymn No 4S9 That
Awful Day Will Surely Come
And It took him some time to discov
er why the congregation smiled
The First Boat
At first when a man wanted to cross
a deep stream he was compelled to
swim across But man at best is a
poor swimmer and it was not long be
fore he invented a better method of
traveling on water A log drifting in a
stream furnished the hint By resting
his body upon the log and plashing J
with his hands and feet he found he
could move along faster and easier
Thus the log was the first boat and the
human arm was the first oar S E
