scare away birds and other stealers.o Then
the deer were coaxed no more. Time eaters
of flesh were close on them and forced them
Ccrward and onward.
I was n dark night when haul and his
three t sons slipped down from the jungle and
broke off time poles oC the maehans wIth their
trnles and they fell a a snapped stalk oC
hemlock h In bloom falls , and the men that
tumbled from them heard the deep breathing

and grazing grounds anti .the plowed fields ,
nll the sharp-hooCed. rooting wild pig ealo
wih them , and what the deer left the pig

In i the fields that night so lathl and his
three sons went gleaning among the pump-

where Hnthl gleans there Is' no need to fol-

A gentleman who has always believed that
a good sermon could not bo preached by a
man In a short coat recent - went to hear
HcJohn l W. Chadwick of Drooklyn.
The shortness oC Mr. Chadwick's coat on that
day was only equaled , lot by the length ,
but by the goodness oC the sermon. And Ito
visitor was so surprised hint he at once sat
down and wrote the folowing letter to Mr.
Chadwlele's tailor : "My Dear Sir-Tho short
coat was a brilliant success In the pulplL.
What do you charge fQr them ? I should
lke l to get one as soon as , possible. I want
to t have It made broad ' across ' , the' chest , and
with a gesture pocket on each side. I sus-
pect there are not a few ministers and con-
gregatons who would banish the ' gown and

after the service , before starting put his
hand h In his pocket and placed , as he supr

Included i many young and , pretty girls. The
girls , as they looked on the plate all seemed
astonished and amused , anti the young man ,
taking a glance at the plate , found that he
had put , Instead oC a shilling , a conversatIon
lozenge l on the plate wIth the words , " % VIll

bOdy In the tace while one of the congega-
ton had capped It by a second lozenge , on
which was printed , "Nam the day. "

paul ho may be assigned regularly to the

After a year's service lie II eligible to up.

ton Is required. After tour year's service ,
IC a IJlpeman la reached the first class he
may applY for a leutenancy In lie del.art-
mont. leer this position ho must undergo -
go a regular service examination. This In-
eludes the rudiments ot la English educa-
ton and the candidate must show familiarity
with the rule ot the department Al sorts
uf hypothetical questions are put to blm. le

about a building on fire. What would lie do
le
It the

He Is tested on the telegraph ; ho must tell
the locatIon of a box from which an alarm
comes In ; bo Is asked
aslld about the care of
horses , how he would Instruct drivers ; what !
merchanlse Is the most combustible . What

water I ho were going Into a buring !
building with his men what precaution he
would take for safety. How ho would handle

men can command and some can no I. In
short , If the first class plpeman passes this
examination there Is no doubt left that he
will make a good lieutenant . I he does
