In Memorium.
A well-known brilliant entertainer who
has just returned from a five years' tour in
Australia, has many amusing tales to tell
amopg which is the following:
"I was ordering my advertisement in a.
Melbourne daily newspaper office one day,"
said' the narrator, "when a tall, lanky
countryman walked in and said he wanted
an "In Memoriam" notice in the obituary
column of the paper.
"My ole gav'nor died a year ago," he
exclaimed, "and I should like a bit o'
poetry in the paper about him."
"All right" answered the clerk:. "have
you brought it with you?"
"No," said the rustle; "can you fix me
'Certainly" replied the clerk. "Our
charge for 'In Memoriam" notices is six
shillings an inch."
"A look of intense amazement passedover
the countryman's face.
"Good gracious 1" he cried, as be made
for -the door, "I can't afford that; my
guy'nor was six feet high."
An Advertiser's Dreain.
A certain merchant believes thonoughly
in advertieing, and the result is he has' the
biggest business' in his town. Indeed, he
works so much on week days that when he
goes to church on Sunday, as he always
sloes, he generally goes to sleep am soon as
the preacher gets well started into his ser-
mon.
Not long ago a visiting clergyman filled
the pulpit-, and our friend, being unaccus-
tomed to him, slept rather uneasily, start-
ing up every now and then as the minister
grew emphatic and almost shouted the
words of truth at the congregation. When
the preacher called out :
" Brethren, why stand ye here all day
idle t"
" Because they don't arlvertise," sung out
the half awakened merchant ; and the way
his wife grabbed at him and shook him into
a sense of his situation almost broke up the
meeting.
Questioning a Witness.
An American advoe,ste badgered &witness
until he lost his temper. The witnese in-
cidentally said something about a cat, and
the crusty lawyer seized upon this u a
means of still further worrying the witness.
" How old was the cat ?" asked the attor-
ney. " I don't know," was the answer.

the sbx of theca. I asked how old it was,"
didn't know." Well,how old do you think?"
you think she was !" " I tell you don't
want a plain 'answer to a plain question.
How old do you think that cat was ?" The
witness looked straight et the attorney,
whose shining bald head was the most
prominent feature of his figure, and said
calmly,. " Oh, I can't guess how old the cat
,vas ; but she was old enough te be bald-
headed ?"

Personal Sarcasm Generally
Don't Pay.
There is a great temptation to people
somewhat gifted in thht direction to in-
dulge in sarcasm ; and it sometimes requires
considerable determination to -mist doing
it, but as a general rule it don't pay.
When I first entered good old Dartmouth
college I was appointed to represent our
clue in a debate with a member of each of
the other classes, and the Junior, opposing
-disputant, thought he would (and did) make
considerable laughter at our expense, by
quoting Milton s " Paradise Lost."
He finally closed by saying that " for an
• angel, I had accomplished very little in the
way of 'argument."
" I brought dotrn the house • with cheers
by simply replying that " I believed I had
accompliehed one thing that had never been
accomplished but °ace before in the history
of the world, and that was when an angel
opened the mouth of Baleam's ass."
During the rest of hie college course it
was not uneommon to hear him called -.out
to on the foot -ball ground, " Go it,
" But he never spoke to me again hem
that day, and probably remembered it
ageinst me all the rest Of his life.
It would have been better not to hive
said it.
Sarcasm, generally don't pay, unless it be
of the pleasant kind nsed by an Irishman to
his employer—a coal dealer—who proposed
to discharge him because " Re couldn't
learn him anything,"
" Well, I've learned one thing since I've
been with you," said Pat. " What'a that?"
" That eighteen hundred make a ton."
Pat was retained.
•
Consecrated to his Work.
As the world goes, the first question in
making a choice of a calling is, " Which one
pays best ?" But earth and heaven measure
human work in very different ways, and
devotion to a right service is never repro-
senttd by the dollars it earns or by the hon-
ors it brings.
Dr. S. A. Steel, of St. Louis, nays that he
began hie career as a preacher with a for-
tunate lesson. One Saturday, while a
student in Henry College, he was riding
over -the mountains, to fill a Sunday ap-
pointment at a village church, when he fell
in with Doctor White, a veteran minister.
Doctor White was a man of fine appear-
ance, eloquent, scholarly and high bred, but
the huinble work he was engaged in had
his whole heart.
The two men travelled side by side, con-
versing pleasantly together. Doctor White
made some reference to a call he had re-
ceived to the presidency of a college,
" You have accepted the call, of course,'
said his young companion.
The position was one of high honor, in-
fluential, conspicuous, and commanding a
rnuch large salary than his present support.
Young Steel could not disguise his astonish-
ment at such a refusal. B1 ut the doctor's
reply silenced him. Gazing far away over
the panorama of lovely valleys and majestic
hills, he -said gently .
Aly brother, I would rather preach
Jesus to the simple -hearted people living in
these mountains than be President of the
United States."
Twenty years afterward Doctor Steel had
forgotten—he says—his college lessons in
psychology and logarithms and Greek roots,
but the lesson that the brave old clergy.
man's answer' had taught him never' faded
away.— Youth's Companion.
•
n Observant Youth.
" Now, Bobbie," said the teacher, " spell
pipe."
" That's right. And now tell. me some,
thing about pipes. What do people do with
them ?"
" Well," said Bobbie, thoughtfully,
" boys blow bubbles with 'em ; plumbers
put jem in ; Sciitchmees blow music out of
them ; Scotland blows music out of 'em ;
and men like Pix smoke 'elm It all depends
on the kind of pipes you want me to tell
you about."
' Man's Intuition.
Mr. Goldfogle has a daughter who is past
30, homely and unattractive, and he and
his wife had years ago given up hope that
she would ever have a chance to change her
name.
A day.or two ago, when he came home to
upper, his wife said joyfully
Our Jennie has an admirer at last. Mr.

box of candy and asked her to go with him
to the theatre to -night. It will be an ex-
cellent match for her ; his family are well

From Tree to Newspaper.
A British contemporary mentions an in-
teresting. experiment which wire tried by
a progressive newspaper; the aim being to
show in how short a time the entire pro-
cess of paper making and printing could be
accomplished; A poplar tree in the forest,
was taken as a beginning. To chop, chip
and load in a boat the necessary quantity of
wood took three hours ; manufacturing of
pulp occupied twelve kours ; 'making the
pulp into paper Wok five hours ; transport-
ing the manufactured paper to the news-
paper office eighty minutes ; while, to finish
up with, on the paper thus produced with
the utmost speed, one thousand copies of
the journel were printed in ten minutes,
making in all for the whole process, from
inceptton to completion, just 24 hours.—

Millions in Bread Crumbs.
One of the richest men in Paris made his
fortune out of bread crumbs. He • bought
the waete and stale bread from the
kitchens of hotels, colleges, etc.,and pulver-
ized them afterwards working them up into
bread and' cakes for the trade of the poor
communities. The idea was at first carried
out on a small scale, but it gradually grew
until Chapaliere as his name acquired a
very large fortune and an immense business.

The Digestion of Stable Edibles.
Boiled rice will digest in one hour ; if
boiled in milk, hoWener, it requires two
hours ; if eaten with unboiled milk, two
hours and fifteen minutes. Rem egg will
digest in about one hour and a half ; fried,
three hours and a half ; soft-boiled, three
hours ; hard-boiled, theee hours and a half.
The wkite and yellaw should be served to-
gether as one assist"! in the digestion of the
other. Salt beef requires four hours and
fifteen minutes. Beefsteak, broiled, three

gag than broiled meat. Boastveal requires
five hours for perfect digestion. Pork the
same. Suet pudding is supposed to take

belie if this republic gives up the
Sabbath we are going to have anarchy. One
hundred years ago France and Britain stood
abreast in the march of nations. Where do
they stand to -day ? France undertook to
wipe out the Sabbath and has nearly wiped
itself out, while Britain belts the globe,
The whole influence of the Sunday Reiser is

Humors of the Irish Tenant.
A maiden lady who possesses considerable
property in Ireland had, until quite lately,
got on very well with her tenants; she being
of a most benevolent nature, and always
only too ready to do all in her power to ben-
efit them. When the agitation spread for
enough to include this lady's property, the
agent called a meeting of the tenants and
reminded them of all their landlady had
done for them ; _amongst other things he
mentioned a school which she kept up free
of oharge, except that in winter each child
was to bneng'asod of turf for the , fire, A
few days after the meeting a deputation
handed in a written answer to the agent's
remarks, and, referring to the free school,
stated it was " an acknowledged failure,
since the curriculum did not include instruc-
tion in the French and Latin languages !"

Nursing their Wrath.
A significant event receutly occurred in
the Philadelphia Hospital Training School.
There happens to- be a strong prejudice
against the admission of Canadian nurses.
Which is not to be wondered at as they are
so well trained as to be able to alasorb
everywhere the beat places to the exclusion
of American nurses. But notwithstanding
this prejudice in the Philadelphia echool a
solitary Canadian girl was admitted, and
provoking to relate, she carried off last
week the gold medal offered to the best
graduate. She is Miss Minnie Watson, of
122 Scollard street, Toronto. We expect to
hear of a duty against Canadian nurses in
the revised tariff, but if that is not done
soomrthe Canuck lassies- will have secured
all the best placer', while the Americans
will be "nursing their Wrath to keep it
warm." Canadian American,
A Raw Potato Cures Drunkeness.
A man prominent in the affairs of Dun-
kirk, says the Buffalo Courier, relates the
following incident " One day, two months
after I had signed the pledge, I had a crav-
ing for a drink of whisky, so strong that I
could see nothing else but drinks about me,
arid felt am if I must have one drink, I told
a friend of my state of mind. He said : 'You
need not drink. I can tell you of a substi-
tute that will stop your discomfort. Get a
bowl of ice -water and a raw potato, peel it
and out down one end of it convenient to
take in the mouth. Dip the potato in the
ice -water and suok it every time you think
yeti must have the whisky. I did as he
advised • I took the bowl .of ice -water and
the potaio and placed them on a table at the
heed of my bed, and would dip the potato
in the water and place it between my lips
every few minutes, until I went to aleep, I
awoke free from any desire to drink whisky,
and have been tree from it ever since. That
one treatment eradicated my craving for
Whisky for all the time that has since

is a younger brother of the famous Dennie

In Lenbach's Studio.
For years he worked in an -unpretentious
back building on the site where he has
DOW erected the magnificent house of which
his brother, well knoi in his special
branch, was architect. T e studio is divid-
ed into three spacious rck-)ms and occuplee
the whole ofthe second sfspry. The ceilings
ail) richly decorated witap medallions and
bas-reliefs in dark woods picked out with
gold. The walls, also ark in tone, are
hung with valuable tap etries and copies
of well known picturf4 made during his
wanderjahre, with here and there an au-
thenticated work of an old master. An
uuceasing and discrimiinating collector,
Lenbach has filled his house and studio
with objects of testhetie, and historic in-
terest. There are niarble statues and
friezes of ancient Greece and Rome, busts,
and bas-reliefs dating • from the renale-
tutnce, crucifixes and reliquaries breathing
the mystleataftlatus of the middle ages,
priceless and historic brocades, ruge and
hangings from the east—everything from
the beautiful shell grotto adjoining the
studio, with its elaborate mosaice, to a
rare bit'of brocade from some suppressed
monaetery, giving evidepce of the unerring
taste of the master. Th6 whole building is
illuminated by a complete system of elec-
tric lights, enabling him to paint, se he
often does, until far into the night. He is
in coneequence a late liner, breakfasting at
10, and narely going to bis work before 11
o'clock.—"Lenbacin the Painter of Bis-
marck," bya Edith Cones, in Century.

purporting to chronicle events or to
speak of the career of hero oi-warrior.
This, as much as any other e,onsideration,
has prompted modern Xlew testament
science to the effort to fix, if poesible,
the earliest and most authentic text of
the new testament writings. Greek man-
uscripts and the quotations found in
early church fathers did good service in
this direction; but the critics were also
powerfully aided by the old translations,
that often preserve a text different from
that of our Bible and, often nearer the
original Vain.
Three years ago on Mount Sinai an old
Syriac version was discovered whichi as
it now appears, shows most strange de-
partures from the received text of the
gospels. Of Syria's translations of the.
Bible or New Testament no less than
five had been known before the diecov-
ery of this last palimpsest. When ha 1858
Cureton published, from a very Old mann-
soript fragments from a new Syriac ver-
sion of the gospels be -and many echolars
supposed to have at last the original form
of Matthew. In this they undoubtedly
erred, .but the Cureton text could peewits
the inest ancient translation extant.
Now, however, even this is doubtful.
The new find has many striking similari-
ties to ,the Cureton readings, but has
many pasages that are strikingly dissim-
ilar. A few of the departure from our
verion are most remarkable. The most
noticeable, however, are these: Chapter -1.
of Matthew, verse xvi. reads: "Jaen%
begot Joeeph; Joseph, to whom Virgin
Mary was betrothed, begot Jesus;"
versenie "She shall bear unto thee a,
son," and verses xxiv. and xxv. "And
he,took his wife ' unto himself 'and she
bore him a son and he called him Jesus."
The supernatural birth of Jesus is thus
denied in this version. This indicates
that the translation originates from
Ebionite circles: Up to the fourth Chris-
tian century there existed in the east
Jordon dietricts of Palestine thelanguage
ef which parts of this Syriac translation
recalls, oongregations of Ebionites or
lqazarenes, that denied. the supernat'ural
birth of Jesus. These must have been the
translators whose work an acoldent laid
into our hand. At all events, this new
Syriac version is very old, and will be a
great helnito New Testament criticism.

A RADICAL CHANGE.
A Hamilton Lady Undergoes an
Experience and Relates the
History of a Severe Trial.
Mrs. James Grahsro, 280 James street north, Ham-
ilton, wife of the well-known grocer at that address,
relates the following circle -minutes". Mr. and Mrs,
Graham have resided in Hamilton for the past
fourteen years, and are very well and favorably
known :
Mrs, Graham says : " During the six months prior
-to taking liiiburn's Heart and Nerve Pills I had a
serious trouble rutting 'from wron action of the
153
heart And nerve". One of the sym me was that I
could notlie en my left side, for it did so my heart
throbbed so violently as to give me great pain. The
smallest noise or the slightest exertion would start
my heart palpitating terribly. It was impowible for
me to go up a short flight of stsire without stopping
to real and regain - my breath. I was excessively
nervous, and my limbs. would trernble as it nith
ague. My hands mid feet were unnaturally cold, and
1 coffered from sharp pains in the back of my heed.
The shurraing of a door would nearly set me wild.
Frequently I would wake up frighteued, and then
was unable to get to sleep again. I lost flesh, and
hecausayery weak and despondent. I felt miserable
in mind and body.
" For six' months 1 have been oonstantly taking
medicine, trading that it would help um, and for a
time was Under the oar* of.a physician, but all the
efforts I Made towarde a cure was of no seal!. My
physician. Rosily told sny husband : ' You know
there is no cure for heart diaeilse,' which -made me
morn -despondent than ever.
" Six week" ago I was induosd to try Milbum's
Heart and Nerve Pitts, and from that time my re.
Maranon to health dates. I have taken four boxes
which I bought at John A. Barr's drug store,
-corner Junes and Merriek-etreete. These pills are
the only niedicine that has done me any good, or
given me relief. I am happy to - say that they
proved that the doctor was mistaken in "eying that
heart disease could not be cured. Since I com-
menced taking -Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills I
have been daily getting better. I can now go uth
stairs without trouble and atteni te my deity
duties without the elightest themes. I have gained
iu flesh, in health and in strength. My blood is
healthy and circulates freely. Lyiog on my left
side causes me no inoonvenience or psin, and / en-
joyehealth and restful sleep. My nerves are etrong
an ' igorous, and there has been such a radical
e ange for the better in my condition that I can say
these wonderful pills have practically made a cons-
plete cure.
" I can recommend them without the slightest
hesitation to all sufferers from similar complaints"
