Check for the Communion Table.
The author of "The Sabbath in Purl
tan New England" mentions a custom
which prevailed in several New Eng
land churches that rcade it the duty
of the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles of the church at the close of
each service and deliver to every per
son who in their judgment was fitted
to commune a metal check, which en
titled him at the next celebration of
the Lord's supper to join in the sacred
ordinance. On the communion Sab
bath it was the deacons' duty to see
that every one who presented himself
at the Lord's table had this check and
to collect it from the communicant be
fore passing to him the bread and
wine.
All to Do Oner Atati,
It la an open question if the old fish
erman in the following story ever got
the right answer to the problem that
was puzzling his head. A writer "in
Everybody's Magaiine, at least, leaves
one in doubt on that score. The riddle
was this: "If a herring and a half
cost a penny and a half, how many
herrings can you buy for a shilling?"
The old fisherman had worked on it
for some time.
"What did you say the mackerel
and a half cost?" he asked at last.
"I didn't say mackerel; I said hep
ring," explained the skipper.
"Oh, that's different," said the other,
I've been figuring on mackerel."

Mixed Feed for Horses.
In large city stables feeding the
horses the hay and grain as mixed

the best results. Keepers find that
horses can be worked hard and kept

from 8 to 14 pounds a day in different
stables, and of grain from 7 to 20
pounds a day.
