The gentlemen who gave voice to the above remark stood chat- ting with a number last evening Cpl th,et'oyer of Hooley's Theater Idwaiting the close of the last act of The Charity Ball. `Let us have it,' said one of the listeners. 'Anything in theshape of a sermon which could interest you must indeed be one of para - Mount importance.' 'Oh, it would not take long to 1 tell it. There was not a word said in the sermon—just a motion that's all. Boy made the motion -.-was the preacher.' 'Well, tell us about it, why don't you ? 'While waiting for a grip car on the cornet of Ashland avenue and Madison street this evening, he began, 'I noticed a number of Attie chaps hopping on and off the cars whenever the conductor's back was tnrned. It looked like -dangerous play, and 1 felt like eatching one of them and giving him a good old-fashioned spank- ing. Beside myself there was a gray -headed, kindly faced old ge? peman who looked on the antics of the boys rather sadly. 'Suddenly the old gentleman in a shrill voice cried out to the youngsters : 'Boys, boys, don't jump on these cars. Some of you wr> surely get hurt.' But of course the rascals paid no atten- - tion to him ; in fact they laughed 'as they continued their sport at every opportunity. I had missed .several east-bnun(,l '[ $s, so inter- este:was I in what was going ' on.' 'Again the old fellow oalled to Oe lads : 'Boys, come bore a moment and let me tell you haw foolish youiare and what danger you are placing yourselves in by leaping on and off'those cars.' The boys ; clambered up to the curbstone near the walk where the old man was standing and prepared to listen to what he might have to say. 'Did you ever hear your papas read of the many accidents which happen to lettle fellows like you -while playing about moving cars? Did you ever see any person who had been hurt by his carelessness on a grip train ? 'There was no answer, except ' that the little rogues looked at each other and sort of grinned, and wondered why the old gentle- ' men took such an interest in them and their sports. And evidently grandfather read their thoughts. for he hastily added : 'I have a little grandson who played about these cars, though forbidden to dwo by the conductors as well as hiparents. He does not do so now, does he, Frankie ?' said the otd man, as he turned to a flaxen haired,bine-eyed little fellow who stood beside him. 'No, grandfather,' answered the boy. 'And will you tell those foolish little fellows why he does not?' 'Now here's the sermon,' said the man in the foyer. 'The boy made no answer ; he just shoved out the stump of what had once been his right leg and burst into tears. That was all. The kind old grandpa kissed his pretty but crippled grandson, °and with his hand on his shoulder the two slowly walked up the avenue. and mast witnessed TEN FARM HINTS. It is cheaper to haul than to drive the hogs to the railway station. Frost is blamed for killing many an orchard tree that is starved to death. A trotting match between the cows and the dog may be inter- esting, but it dose not make butter. You are under no obligation to loan to the person that does not promptly return articles in good order. We want to get rid of scrub land and scrub farming as well as of scrub stock. Grade up all along the line ! A score of farmers fail because they try to do something other than farming, where one fails by sticking to farming. � If your horses shrir?k from you when you enter' their stalls, do some detective work on your hired help—or yourself. Get a stencil and put your name on your larger farming imple- ments, sacks, etc. Get a die and stamp your name on smaller im- plements. It is a curious fact that some men would rather make i5 by trading horses than $25 by hous- ing farming implements. A cow that has to get her living by gnawing the parched pature under an August sun, without other food, is not likely to make a great slow at the pail. 'Well, sir, those little rats stood stock still for a moment or so and gazed with wide eyes at the crip- pled boy as he moyed away. Then with very earnest faces they quietly turned corners and went to their various homes,as thought- fully as though they were going to their own funerals. That's the sermon, the most effective and impressive that I ever wit- nessed, for there was nothing to hear from it.'—Chicago Mail. A GIRL'S KINDNESS. Early one clear January moan- ing a few winters ago, a pleasing little incident happened in one of our eastern cities. Several plea- sant days had been followed by a heavy sleet and bitterly cold weather. Everything was sparkl- ing in the bright sunshine; pave- ments looked like mirrors and trees looked as though they were great masses of crystal, powdered with diamond dust, But these mirror like pavements were very treacherous, and many a careless step brought dire disaster to the pedestrian. Helen Mayer, on her way to her daily work, after many slips and slides, reached a street car in safety. She had the good fortune to secure the last vacant seat, and smiling and warm in her plain comfortable clothes,she sat watch- ing her numerous fellow -passen- gers. At the next crossing the car stopped and a shabby little old woman fell on the steps and was helped by the conductor, with rough good nature, on to the plat- form. Weak and dizzy from her fall, she entered the car trembling in every limb, and with a pitiful, appealing look on her pale wrink- led little face, gazed round at the passengers. There were half a dozen or more men and boys in the car,but none of them saw her—of course not, when they were all deeply interested in the morning papers. But Helen saw `uer, and in an in- stant she sprang up and led the old lady to- her place. With a grateful look into the girl's frank eyes, she said, in a trembling voice : 'You are very kind,child, very kind to a poor old woman. Many thanks, but now, my dear, you have no seat.' 'I ought to be kind, ma'am,' re- plied Helen. 'I am young and strong and I should feel ashamed to keep my seat while you were standing. I do not at all mind standing, so don't worry about m e.' Several gentlemen arose and offered Helen their seats, but hor quiet `No, thank you,' caused them to resume their seats d their papers. However, some of them felt uncomfortable, for they felt as it' a stigma had been put upon them by this pretty young girl. After riding several blocks the old lady wished to leave the car. Helen assisted hor to rise,and said, 'It is so very slippery that I am afraid you will fall.' 'It can't be helped, child, for I must go. I will go very carefully and perhaps will not fall again. I must thank you again for your kindness, and good-bye.' The quivering voice of the aged lady went straight to Helen's heart. She hesitated just a mo- ment, for every -penny of the four dollars a week which she received for clerking counted in the small amount she and her mother could scrape for living; and if she were late she would lose some of her scanty pay. But the old lady needed some one to help her, and so the next moment she said : 'I will see you safely across the street and walk to the store.' So, very kindly and carefully she assisted the shabby, uncertain little figure which clung so close- ly to her arm, across the glassy street. 'Ohl dear heart, if I had known it was so bad I never would have come out. But, now I'm out, I must go on. Oh, dear?' and as she slipped a little she clutched more firmly the arm which she held. 'How far have you to go?' ask- ed Helen. 'Just down this street, I for- get whether it's two or three blocks.' 'I will go with you,'said Helen quietly. In a little while Helen had tier C ,RRH, CATARRHAL 'NESS—HAY FEVER A N.:- .. -. ,E TREATMENT. Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites ip-the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has been formulated where- by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N B.—This treatment is not a snuff or an ointment ; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. H. Dram? & Sox, 803 West King Street, Toronto, Canada.—Toronto Globi. Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should telly read time above. charge safely at her destlua- tion. 'Now, my child;' said the little old, woman, as she waited for ad- mittance, 'tell me your name and where you live; 1 never want to forget the blessed girl who saved poor old mo from breaking my bones.' Helen told her and added ; '1 am only a clerk, trying to slake my own living, and may be glad, when I am old like you, to some one to help nie. But it's noth- ing at all, with a laugh, 'for I should have had the blues all day if I had suffered you to go alone.' Atter makingllelen writedown her name and address on a card, she said: 'Good-bye, my dear: I can only give l ou an old woman's blessing. 'I am grateful fur it,' reverent- ly replied Helen. 'lioA-bye,' and she hurried away as the door was opened, never noticing the street, house or name on the door.' She was late and was 'docked.' but that did not matter to Helen. She could not and would not regret her kindness to the p.or depend- ent old lady. A year has passed and Helen had never once seer, the old lady or heard from her, and t'.us had almost forgotten her. But one cold bitter day Helen come home and with tears told her mother that she,with several other clerks, had been discharged as business was dull and they had no need for so many clerks. Her mother soothed her and told her that perhaps she could get another position somewhere nearer home, and that to -morrow they would start to look for one. Then they sat down to their evening meal, and betbre they were through Helen's mother jumped up from the table and returned, with an of- ficial looking document addressed to Helen Mayer. She handed it to Helen,saying that the postman had brought it in the afternoon and until that moment she had forgotten it. Helen opened it, and had the stars fallen she could not have been more astonished as she read : 'Hannah Forth bequeathes seventeen thousand dollars to Helen Mayer, in remembrance of her great kindness to an old and helpless woman on January 8, 18B8.' Helen laughed and cried by turns as she again repeated to hor mother the story of her kindness to the old lady, whose appearance was far from that of a wealthy person. Now Helen need not worry about finding another place in ((order that she and her mother might gain a living. A kind act had not only made her heart lighter, but had raised her from comparative poverty to affluence. . CONSUMPTION CURED.

Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and Nervous Complaints, after baying tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suf- fering fellows.

I heard a story the other day about the former assistant re^,tor of one of the largest Episcopal churches in the city. The gentle- man in question is now the pre- sident of a college so far away that he cannot mind if I relate the incident. He was a jolly good fellow when he lived in a board- ing-house here, and in his off hours was accustomed to join in at a friendly game of whist or a smoke. One evening when he was out at service two of the wags of the establishment remembered that it was his invariable habit upon re- turning home to doff his round- about vest and clerical coat, put on an old smoking jacket, and en- case his feet in a pair of morocco slippers, which latter always oc- cupied the same position on his bedroom floor preparatory to his coming. Accordingly, they firm- ly nailed these slippers to the floor, and awaited results in the next room. Presently the dominie return- ed. They beard him moving about ; they heard the thud of his shoes as they were taken oft' and thrown dowr, and then all was silence. They peeked cautiously in, and thero beheld the young clergyman standing in his slip- pers, his face white as a sheet,and a look of horror upon it, his eyes star•ing'straight ahead. Tho sight was too much for then, but they managed to suppress their laugh- ter and ask in a tone of amaze- ment what the matter was. 'Matter?' he gasped. 'There is matter enough, boys; I'm paralyz- ed, and can't move hand or foot. For mercy's sake, help me.' The man did actually, such is the force of imagination, believe he was paralyzed for a moment or two, but he finally set 'em up, in a manner appropriate to his cal- ling, by buying cigars for the crowd.—Brooklyn Life. 111 - I)r B3RODI F;,S ITAL HEMEDIES THE THREE STARS HEALTH HA Pp/ Will absolutely and per- manently ours the most N° 1aggravated case of • CATARRH, Hay Fever or Catarrhal Deafness.

Harris, seeing the runaway-, tried to head the horses causing them to turn and go through a fence into a yard where there were thirty beehives. Three gives were knocked over by the horses. Thousands IX bees swarmod over the horses who laid down in the harness moaning piteously. As young Harris could not see the horses sufier,ho cut the traces with a butcher knife, while the bees attacked him. Ile started horses off. When loose from the cattle crate the horses ran in ail direction in the field, uttering unnatural squeals,at times rolling in the grass, moaning terrible.
