A Bargain Day.
A clergyman, auxlous to Introduce
••me new hymn books. directed tlie
clerk to give out a notice la church iu I
regard to them Immediately after the
aarmou The dark, however, had h no
tice of hla own to give with refcreuoa
to the baptism of lutauts. Accordingly
at the claae of tl-e sermon he announc
ed: 'All tho > who Imve chlldreu they
wish buptlfced please lend in their
uaiuei at once." The clergyman, who
was deaf, supposing that the clerk waa
giving out the hymu hook uotlce, Im
mediately arose aud mild. "Ami l want
to aay for the bvueflf of those who
fcaren't aay that they may he obtained
from we any day between 8 and 4
o'clock; the ordinary little oue* at IB
ceuta and special ones with rel liacka
at 23 cent* each."
THR CRT Or THE DRKAMKR.
I am tlrad of planning and tolling
In the crowded hives of man;
Heart weary of bulldlna and (polling.
And apolllng and bulldlna aaaln.
Aud I long tor the deal' old river.
Where I dreamed my youth away.
For a dreamer live* forever.
And a toller dtea In a day.
I am *lck of the ahowy aeeinlug
Of a life that ta half a lie.
Of the face* lined with achemlng
In the throng that hurrlee by;
From the aleepleea thoughta' endeavor
I would go where the children play.
For a dreamer live* forever.
And a thinker die* In a day.
X can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich emlur*i
There la nothing sweet In the city
But ths patient live* of the poor,
Oh. the little hand* too aktllful N*.
And the chlld-mlnd choked with wVda,
The daughter'* heart grown willful
"And ths father's hsart that hleedel
No. no! From the street's rude huatle.
From trophies of mart and ataae,
I would fly to the wood* low rustle
And the meadow * kindly paa*.
Let me drrum aa of old by the river
And be loved for the dream alway,
For a dreamer Uvea forever.
And a toller dlea In u day.

Two of a Kind.
It was a sleighing parly. Otto of the
seat* contained two gentlemen and one
lady, the lady slttlnu lu the middle.
After a time Ihe gentleman 011 the
right paused his hand Into t lie lady's
muff, and the lady withdrew her right
baud. At Ihe same time the gentle
man ou the left passed Ills hand Into
the muff, nud the lady withdrew her
left hand. There were then some In
dlcatloua of an athletic content, a teat
of gripping J>ower, Inside of the muff,
aud later the lady, raising her two
hands, aald, "It la very saltish of you
two to take my muff when my handa
are freezing"'
The Value ef Laughter.
"I flnd nouaetiae alngularly refresh
ing," said Talleyrand. There Is good
philosophy In the saying, "Laugh and
grow fat." Laughter begins lu the
lunga and diaphragm, settlug the liver,
stomach and other internal organs Into
a quick. Jelly like vibration which
give* a pleasant sensation autl exercise
almost equul to horseback riding. The
heart beats faster, sends tho blood
bounding through the body, Increases
the respiration aud gives warmth anil
glow to the whole system. Laughter
brightens tho eye, Increases the perspi
ration, expands the chest, forcea the
poisoned air from the least used lung
cells aud teuds to restore that exqui
site poise or balance which wo call
health and which results from the bar-'
moulous action of all the functlous of
the body. This delicate poise, which
may be destroyed h.v a sleepless night,
• piece of bad news, by grief or anxie
ty, Is often wholly restored by a good
hearty laugh. A Jolly physician Is often
better than all his pills.—(). 8. Warden.
A Pity It Is.
In his old age Washington Irving
said, "What a pity It Is when we have
grown old wo could not turn round and
grow young ngaiu aud die of cutting
our teeth."
On Falling In Love.
Falling In love la the one Illogical
adventure, the oue thing of which we
are tempted to think as sii|>eniatural,
in our trite and reasonable world. The
effect Is out of all proportion to the
cause. Two persons, uelther of them,
It may lie, very amiable or very beau
tiful, meet, speak a little and look a
little into each other's eyes. That has
been done a dozen or so ot times 111
the experience of either with no great
result. But ou this occasion all I* dif
ferent. They fall at ouce Into that
state lu which another |terson liecomea
to us tbe very gist and center point of
God's creation and demolishes our la
bortoua theories with a smile; 111 which
our Ideas are *0 Isniud up with tbe one
master thought that even thA trivial
cares of our owu person l>ecome so
many acta of devotion, and the love of
life Itself la translated Into u wish to
remain lu the same world with ao
precious aud desirable a fellow trea
ture. And all tbe white tUtdr ivqnalnt
uncca look on lu stU|>or aud ask each
other, with almost passionate empba
•to, what So-and-so can see In that
woman or Hucb-uu-oue lu that man?
I am aura, gentlemen, I cannot tell
you - R. L. Stevenson.
Roquefort Cheese.
Roquefort cheese Is made in France
from the milk of a certain breed of
•beep, which are fed on wild thyme.
Thyme ta a klntl of aromatic plant
with a pungent odor, and after It In
converted Into Roquefort cheese It 1*
the pungeuteat thing known to man.
After tills cheese I* made It la put lu
■•Utary confinement until Its whiskers
begin to turu gray aud gangrene aeM
la, when U to token out chained to
a post. Before It la served Vt. Is cbloro
formed or knocked tu flit- head with an
•x. It ia then brought to tho table In
little square sections nlioiit the aUe of
a douiiuo. It is served at tlio I'lose ot
meuU, together with black coffee. It
usually bus a running mate lu the
shape of a round cracker Hint has to be
brokcu with a maul.
Roquefort cheese IN of a dull white
color, except lu spotH, where mortifica
tion has set In. Bouie claim It to be In
habited. but this Is not true. Kveu the
Intrepid *ud uiepbitlc microb« flees
from It as we tier from a pestilence.
We have seen I.lmburger cheese strung
enough to shoulder u two bushel sack
of wheat, Imt it piece of Roquefort the
•Ice of a dice cuu carry nu election.
Umburger Is a rose gvrauluui when
compared with ltoi|Uel'ort. There Is ai
much illfferenctt between tlieui as there
la between the pur of a kltteu and the
roar of a lion A man who will eaCit
Is an open sepulcher nud should tie
quarantined or driven luto the wilder
nJ'ss and never agalu allowed to look
luto the face of a human being.
Cunard, tha Whittlsr.
Saui Cunard, the whittling Scotch lad
of Glasgow, wrought out many odd In
ventions with brntu and Juckkulfe, but
thev brought neither honor nor protlt
until he was conaulteil by Burns &
Mclvor, who wished to Increuae their
facilities for carrying foreign uiallß,
The model of u stentushlp which Sum
whittled out for them was carefully
copied for the first vessel of the great
Cunnrd line and became the atundard
ty|K- for all the magnificent alilpa since
constructed by the firm. When Sam
uel Cunard was knighted, be did not
forget that he owed his honors and Ills
wealth to conscientious whittling.—
"Pushing to the Front."
Preaching in Labrador.
An \tid missionary who had been
many years In Labrador was at length
compelled to return, Ills Influence ull
gone and his mission entirely fruitless.
A young mail was appointed In his
place, and before lie went to hi* assign
ment lie thought lie would visit his
venerable predecessor aul learu from
hlui the cause of hla trouble In the
land of Icebergs. The old mau received
lilin very cordially.
"My venerable brother," said the
young man,""l wish you to tell nte the
cause of your difficulty that I may
avert a like failure."
"My young friend," said the old
missionary, laylug his hand on his
brother's arm; "this was the rock I
apllt ou. I preached to thoae untu
tored savages a bell that was hot,
and they rather liked the Idea of go
lug there. I think If you preooli the u
a hell 00 degrees colder than Labrador
you will drive them nil to repentance '
Tha Wicked Do Not Laugh.
The envious, wicked and inalevoleut
rarely laugh, because they are iuipreg
11 a ted with bile and are therefore mo
rose. The haughty, the vain and the
awkward also laugh very little, for fear
of losing their dignity. The Hpauisb
people, proverbially grave, arc a good
example—Louis Mann.

Speaking of Floods.
A veteran of the wur of 18HX bail lis
tened patiently to tliu very long story
a youthful veteran of the Spanish war
told. The account of hardships left
him unmoved.
"Just nfter the Johustowu flood, my
boy," said he, "there was a man In the
next world who went about telling ev
erybody bow that Joliustown affair
had sent hlni-where he wus.
"His listeners hung on his words—all
of them, that Is, except a quiet looking
little man who seemed so little Itn
pressed that every time the Johnstown
man got through be uierely looked
bored and said, 'Oh, shuck*!'
"The Johnstown man got tired of It
after awhile. It got ou hla nerves to
have anybody act as If what happened
at Johnstown wasn't of any Impor
tance. No matter how ho told his
story, the (julet looking little man
merely Mild, 'Oh, shucks"
"At last the Johimtowu man spoke to
a fellow who had lipen there u long
time about It.
"'Hay,' auid he, 'who Is that.little
man who keeps saying, "Shucka!"'
"'Who?' said the mau who had bean
there a long time. *l>o you mean the
fellow over there? Why, hla name'*
Noah."' ~—
Thoughts of Amisl.
The more a man lovesmore he

Beauty refreshes and strengthens «ne

Qeneroua Feelings.
I do seem to he extraordinarily inter
ested lu a whole lot of nrts and tilings
that I have got nothing to do with. It
Is a part of my generous, liberal na
ture. I can't help it. I feel the same
aort of charity to everybody that was
manifested by a gentleman who arriv
ed at home at 2 o'clock In the rnorulug
from the club aud was feeling so per
feetly satisfied with life, so happy and
so comfortable, and there was bis
house weaving, weaving, wwvlug
around. He watched his chance, aud
by and by when the steps got lu his
neighborhood lie made a Jump and
climbed up aud got ou the portico
And the house went ou weavtug and
weaving, but he watched the door, and
whsn II came around his way he plung
ed through It. He got to the stairs, aud
when he went up on all fours the bouse
Has so unsteady that he could hardly
make his wa f, but at last he got to the
top and raised his foot and put it ou
the top step. But only tlio toe hitched
on the step, and he'rolled down and
fetehed up on the bottom step, with hi*
arm sround the newel post, and he
