Charles Perley Tinker, field secretary of the New York Church Extension and Mis- slonary soclety, announced at a ses- sion of the New York East Methodist conference that he had withdrawn from the conference and is about to embrace the Episcopal faith. The First American Duel. In the year 1630 occurred the first duel known to have taken' place on American soil. The principals, Edward Doty and Edward Leister, were serv- ants of a Mr. Hopkins, one of the New Bngland colonists. The men had quar reled over some trifling matter and re- sorted to the field for its settlement. The affair was stopped by the authori- tles, but mnot before one had been wounded in the thigh and the other in the hand. There was no law covering such matters, but the governor of the province decided that the men should be punished nevertheless, At his or< ders they were sent to have their heads and feet tled together and le in that condition twenty-four hours without food or drink. They suffered so much, however, that they were released at the end of an hour. His Apprenticeship. “Yes,” sald Mr. Pater, with ill con- cealed pride, “my youngest boy makes some smart remarks at times. Only re- cently he asked me what it meant to be an apprentice, I told him that it meant the binding of one person to an- other by agreement and that one per- ‘son 8o bound had to teach the other all he could of his trade or profession, ‘while the other had to watch and learn how things were done and had to make himself useful in every way possible.” “What did he say to that?’ asked one of the audience. 3 “Why, after a few minutes the young rascal looked up at me and said, “Then I suppose you're apprenticed to mother, aren’t you, dad? "—London Answers. Herbert Spencer and the Puddles. On mno one occasion was Herbert Spencer known to ride when going to a dinner, yet so carefully did he guard himself against the chance of solling his dress shoes that he habltually car- rled a bundle of old newspapers under his arm. These were for the purpose of being dropped, one by one, into each mud puddle he might encounter on crossing the street. By the time he reached his destination the store of pa- pers was exhausted. Muddy shoes on the return walk did not matter to him in the least.—London Caterer. For Emergencles. A banking reserve Is for use, mot| merely for show. It is for use in times of emergency. Yet some bankers look upon their reserves very much as the superintendent of a hospital regarded its emergency bed. A patient all bang- | ed up in an accldent was brought to the hospital one night and was told that there was no room for him. “Why not put him in the emergency bed?”’ it was suggested. “If we put him in the emergency bed,” it was replied, “then Wwe would have no emergency bed.’— Wall Street Journal e The Making of Diamonds. It Is quite possible to manufacture dlamonds. Indeed a famous French- man of science, Molssan, made very large numbers by means of his elec- trle furnace. HIis process was to dls- solve lumps of sugar in molten iron, subjecting the solution to enormous pressure. Lump sugar may be said to consist simply of water and diamond. It is the case tbat the diamond is mere- ly crystallized carbon. There are three kinds of carbon—plumbago, graphite and diamond—the composition of all of which is identical. When charcoal is dissolved in molten iron, graphite is formed. All the diamonds found in Borneo, Brazll, India and South Africa are made in much the same manner— that is, by the action of great heat and enormous pressure. Charcoal formed from wood has been baked into dia- monds, the enormous heat and pres- sure of the earth’s interior causing the beautiful white stone to crystallize out. Although artificial (distinct from imi- tation) diamonds have been made for some time, the cost has been prohib- itive, while the stones have been of but insignificant size and value. Fastidious Smokers. “Did you know,” asked one member ‘of a group In the hotel lobby, “that an Indian is much more fastidlous than a white man In the matter of smoking? I saw when I was in Montana several of their war dances and the councils afterward. You know, they sit in a circle on the ground and pass the pipe of good fellowship around In silence. Each man takes two or three puffs and then hands the pipe to his next neighbor. But if you notice you will see that in the whole circult which it | makes the mouthplece is never wet. The red man merely lays the end of the stem against his lower lip and, keeping his mouth partly open, draws a deep breath. Removing the pipe, he exhales the smoke and then perhaps repeats the process, but he never puts the mouthpiece into his mouth in the common ‘paleface’ fashion. If he is asked to smoke a peace pipe after a white man, he first wipes off the end of the pipestem where it has been In the previous smoker’s mouth.”—New York Times. The Lecturer’s Subject. “I call my lecture ‘Glass,’” said the lecturer, “not because it says anything about that subject, but because of the nature of it. To begin with, it is the sort of lecture that anybody can see through. Then I am liable to make a number of breaks in its delivery, after which it will be full of funny cracks. In addition, it requires a lot of sand to produce it, to say nothing of the hot air employed. The agents have blown it pretty much to the commit- tees. “Another polnt of resemblance be- tween my lecture and glass is that when cut 1t is much more valuable. T shan’t refer to the subject any more, though it is not a safe one to drop. The principal reason for my selection of this name anyway is my knowledge of the fascination foreign titles have for the American people.” But noticing that the audience had hurried away the lecturer desisted.— Chicago News, Every One of Them a Bird." A current newspaper item 1is as fol- lows: “The wife of a Methodist minis- ter In West Virginia has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge; her first husband was named Robin, her second Sparrow, and the present one’s name is Quayle. There are now two young Robins, one Sparrow and three little Quayles in the family. One grandfather was a Swann, and another was a Jay, but he's dead and now a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk avenue, Eagleville, Canary islands, and the fellow who wrote this article is a Iyre bird and an interesting relative of the family.”—8t, Louls Re- public, Proving a Rumor. During one of the Mardi Gras festiv- ities at New Orleans a couple evidently from the provinces wandered into one of the numerous little French restau- rants. The lady scanned the menu. ‘“‘Here’s entree,” she sald. “What is it? Shall I order 1t?" “Good heavens, nol” replied her com- panion. “I’'ve always heard that the French eat it, but not for us. Youw'd better order ham and eggs. An entry’s a race horse.”—Harper's. Too Many Weddings. “What brought you here, my poor man?’ inquired the prison visitor. “Well, lady,” replied the prisoner, “1 guess my trouble started in attendin’ too many weddin’s.” “Ah! You learned to drink there, or steal perhaps?” “No, lady, I was always the bride- groom.” - No Odors In His Cab. An cld lady about to hire a cab in London asked the cabman if he could take her to Trafalgar square, The cab- man replied, “No, mum, I can’t, and I wouldn't if T could, and the next time you want to eat onions bile ’em!” A Pair of Them.

His Ears. “If Smithers undertakes to pull my ears,” sald a fellow at a street corner, “he will have his hands full.” The crowd looked at the man’s ears and smiled.—London Telegraph. Some people make the mistake of thinking they are sure just because they are slow.—Puck, i Foiled. =~ . “Ahl” said Bragley, .with a view to making Miss Wise jealous. “I was alone last evening with some one I ad- mire very much.” “Ah!” echoed the bright girl. “Alone, were you?'—Philadelphia Press, A Losing Scheme. “They tell me that poor Jolly is a victim of his own good fellowship.” - “That's so. He lost his own health in drinking other people’s.’—Baltimore: American. - * You could nof, please us better than to ask your ¥ ductorlboutAyer’lCherryPectorllforcéughs, 0 C O r S colds,croup, bronchitis.
