Hanged If Ha Didn't ltellcvo He Had
Drowned tho Dear Old Soul.
A Newton county local Methodist
preacher, who works for hiuiscli
during tho weok nnd labors for tho
Lord on Sundays, wns called upon to
baptize an old lady by immersion.
Ho tried his best to got Brothor
Bridges and other preachors to do
tho work, but failed, so ho went forth
in search of a good placo, and found
a washed out nolo of calm water in a
spring branch, but was forced to
cross a shallow run of tho river in
order to get to tho branch. Tho main
run of the river was too swift for
bapli3inal purposes, becauso tho old
lady was too heavy nnd clumsy to
hold against tho current.
The banks of both streams wcro
lined with people, nnd as tho mourn
ful melody of a "Hark from tho
tomb" song went over hill nnd dnlo
tho preacher proudly led tho happy
sister to tho water's edgo, and ns her
feot carao in contact with tho wnrm
river water bIio oxclnimed, "Oh, how
nico this sweet water feels." "I
thought to myself," said tho preach
er, 'Old lady, when you striko that
holo in tho spring branch you'll
chnngo your tuno.'" And roport
said she did, for when tho cold wator
began to close around her sho wont
to pieces, as it were, for her form
-trembled and hor teeth chattered,
while tho prenchor showed that ho
was freezing about tho body, no mat-
tor how warm ho felt around tho
heart At this point his foot struck
n log in tho holo, and ho "got on it
with both feot," in order to havo n
lovernge, so ns to let tho old lady
down and bring hor up safely, whilo
his bro.thor stood by hor sidp to aid
him if necessary.
Everything was now- ready and tho
minister began, "Ibaptizo theol and
both feot llow out from under him,
as tho log was round and slick, and
sister and prenchor disappeared un
der tho water, tho log diving them;
but in a moment both camo up and
tho brother caught tho sister by tho
hand and led hor gently to tho bank,
whilo tho preacher wiped tho water
from his eyes and cars with a red
handkerchief and looked up and
down tho branch to seo what had be
come of tho old woman. As ho bo
held her shouting on tho shoro and
shaking hands with the multitudo,
who thought that tho baptism had
been administered according to tho
custom of tho Scriptures, ho raised
both of his own hands and exclaimed:
"Tho Lord bo praised, for yonder
sho is sat'o and alive on land. Tho
fact is, Hawkins," said tho tender
hearted preacher, "hang mo if I
didn't beliovo for tho time being that
I had drowned instead of baptized
tho dear old soul." Covington Enter
prise. Why a Dolled Lobster Is Red.
In all crustaceans, ns, indeed, in
almost everything in nature, thero
is a cortain per cent, of iron. Upon
boiling, tho lobster is oxidized; tho
effect is largely duo also to tho per
centage of muriatic acid which exists
nnturally in tho shell. Tho chomi
cal chango which takes placo hero is
almost similar to that which occurs
in tho burning of a brick. In boil
ing a lobster its coat censes to bo a
living substnnco, and to n cortain ox
tent it takes a now character.
It is as a brick would bo afterburn
ing. This effect can also bo produced
by tho sun, but necessarily not so
rapidly, as tho hont of that luminary,
although moro intense is not con
centrated sufficiently to produco the
result. Tho sun also exercises a
bleaching influence which consumes
tho oxide nlinost ns fast ns it is
formed, leaving tho shell white, or
nearly puro lime. Gloucester Times.

A Valuable Curcuss.
A poor peasant in a villngo of tho
Odonwnld foil into such reduced cir
cumstances that ho resolved to sell
his only cow. Ho took tho wrotchod
and scraggy beast to tho butcher of
tho village, who said ho could not
givo him moro than sixty marks for
it. So tho peasant determined to
slaughter tho beast himself, nnd try
to sell tho meat among Ids noighbors.
In tho stomach of tho cow ho found
soven gold coins of twenty marks
each, too silver thalors and twoBmall
koys. Tho cow thus brought him
double tho sum which tho butcher
had offorcd for hor. The cow must
havo swallowed n purso at somo
placo or other, but whoro or whon
her owner could not guess. London

Roping the Sun.
Ono popular myth of tho South
Sea islanders expresses tho very poet
ical belief that tho Island of Tonga
rova was fished out of tho bottom of
tho sea by n god, who used for tho
purpose tho tail of tho constellation
Scorpio, baiting this remarkable
hook with a star. Another divinity
accomplished a work of great benefi
cence by regulating the sun. Tho
orb of day used to havo a trick of
setting almost ns soon as it had
risen, so that it was impossiblo to got
through nay work. Even an oven
of food could not bo prepared and
cooked before darkness camo on. So
tho deity Maui carefully plaited six
great ropes of strong cocoanut fiber,
making nooses in them, and with
these ho sought tho hole at the edge
of tho sky through which the sun
cliinbs up from tho nether world
each morning.
At this point of exit from tho land
of ghosts into tho heavens tho six
nooses were placed. They entrapped
tho sun, and that luminary wns glad
to agree to bo in future moro deliber
ate in his movements, so as to enable
tho inhabitants of tho earth to Ret

Ore ok und Latin.
I am afraid that tradition is likely
to bo too strong for us, and that tho
old story will go on for a long timo
to come; that Latin and Greek will
still bo tho staple of education, nnd
that the making of Lntin and Greek
verses will bo tho intellectual exor
cise of tho boys of tho future ns it
has been of tho boys of tho past I
do not for a moment deny that thero
aro masterpieces of beautiful form
in old literature. To dony it would
bo absurd. I should bo very sony,
for my part, to givo up tho knowl
edge I havo of these languages, and
I remember what an era it was in
tho expansion of my own thought
whon first 1 was sot to work on tho
Republic of Plato.
But whon wo speak of Greek and
Latin literature, I suppose it is liko
English and French literature in this
respect, that it contains good, bad
and indifferent It is a great mis
take to think that everybody who
wrote in Greek wrote beautifully, or
that every work composed in Latin
about tho Augustan orn is a model to
admiro and imitate. Archbishop

- Pot chameleons in Capo Colony aro
utilized ns domestic fly cntchora. A
lady of my acquaintance ono day
took tho troublo to count tho number
of flies hor tamo chameleon caught
whilo it was resting on hor hand.
Whon sho saw a fly on tho wall or
tablo sho hold "chammy" near it,
whon out flow tho tongno and tho fly
disappeared.
Sho had tho pationco to count 100,
and thought that was enough flioc
for ono day and restored tho fly
catcher to its cago. Schoolboys

whoso chameleon will most quickly
catch, say, twenty or fifty flies, ns

The mother sitting beside and
rocking tbe cradle, often siDglugher
sad lullaby, may be thus shaping, m
It were, tho destinies of nations. But
if diseases, consequent on mother
hood, havo borne her down, and sap.
ped hor life, how mournful will be
her song. To cheer the mother '
brighten her life, nnd brighten her ,
song, Dr. Pierce of Buflalo.-has.after
long experience, compounded a rem-j
edy which he has called his "Favor
ite Prescription," because ladies pre
ferred it to all others. He guaran
tees it to euro nervousness, neuralgic
pains, bearing-down pains, Ir
regularities, weakness, or prolapeiM,
headache, backache, or any of tWH
ailments of the female organB. What "2
he asks is, that the ladies shall, give
it a fair trial, and satisfaction 1b an-
sured. Money refunded, if it doe'
not give satisfaction.
Mr. W. M. Terry, who has been. to 1
the drug business at Elkton, ,Ky.,
for the past twelve years, eayes
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
gives better satisfaction than any
other cough medicine I have ever
sold." There is good reason for this. , A
No other will cure a cold so qulcklyj
no other Is so certain a preventative';
and cure for croup; no other afford
so much relief in cases of whooping J
cough. For salo by Baskott & Van
