D ing a Long Sermon. Dr. Samuel Buell of the last half of the eighteenth century. who used to preach two or three bours. like Isaac Barrows, was ingenious in detaining his congregation. On one occasion, aft- er preaching nearly two hours—as long as he could feel secure in the presence of all -his hearers—he remarked that he was done preaching to sinners and that they were at liberty to go: the jvest of his discourse would be ad- dressed to good people. A gentleman who once went to hear him stated that when the hourglass was nearly ready to be turned a sec- ond time from the commencement of his sermon be said. much to the relief of the person who related it. *“Once { more.”” After going on some eight or ten minutes longer he said, “To con- clude,” and after another about equal interval he said, “Lastly.”" | The gentleman added that he expect- ed every moment to hear him say “Ev- erlastingly.” He Came Down Light. A Chicago board of trade man who was not in the habit of attending church was taking a walk one Sunday i morning. and on coming to a church at the regular hour of service he de- cided to go in. As he entered the au- ditorium in which the pews were ad- justed upon a sloping floor an usher stepped forward and. wishing to con- sult him as to location before con- ducting him to a sitting, politely in- quired: “Would you like to come down pret- ty well ?"" Mistaking the inquiry to be an ap- peal for money. the board of trade man began to fumble through his pockets as he drawled: “I'd like to, but I'm not prepared to come down very heavy, as 15 cents is all I have with me.”—Harper’s Mag- | azine. A Varnishing Tip. When varnishing wood the work must be done in a warm room at a temperature of at least 75 degrees F. At a lower temperature the moisture in the air will give a milky and cloudy appearance to the varnish. On the other hand. at the higher temperature the moisture is not precipitated unril the alcobol of the varnish has suffi- ciently evaporated to leave a thin smooth film of shellac. The durabil- ity and gloss are dependent on this. The Blind Man’s Lantern. A blind man in Khoota (a Caucasian village) came back from the river one night bringing a pitcher of water and carrying in his hand a lighted lantern, Some one meeting him said: “You're blind. It's all thé same to you whether it's day or night. Of what use to you is a lantern?" "1 don't carry the lan- tern in order to see the road.” replied the blind man, *“but to keep some fool like you from running against me and breaking my pitcher.” His Peers. “Pa, what does it’ mean to be tried by a jury of one's peers?” “It means, my son, that a man is to be tried by a jury composed of men who are his equals or on an equality with him, so that they will have no | prejudice against him.” *“Then, pa. 1 s’pose you'd have to be tried by a jury of baldheaded men.” The Widow. “In a town,” said a life insurance official. *“where life insurance was a rare thing a schoolteacher said to a little boy pupil: **Tommy, define the word widow.' “*A widow,” Tommy answered, 'is a poor woman with a large family of children who takes boarders.' " Painfully Frank. Wedderly—They say that a man and his wife grow to look alike after they have been married a few years. Now, my wife and I have been married ten years. Do you think we look alike? Singleton—Yes, indeed. You ' both seem to have the same sad expres- sion. Might Have Been Worse. Rheumatic Patfent—Oh, doctor, I do suffer so with my hands and feet! Cheery Doctor—My, dear woman, only think what inconvenience you would have to suffer without them. The Earth. < Tommy — Pop, does the earth go round? Tommy’s Pop—Yes, my son. But it wouldn’t if it was divided among all the people who want it.— Philadelphia Record. No man has yet discovered the means of giving successfully friendly advice to women—not even to his own. —Balzac. erent From a Mountain. A certain Philadelphian who is at once a' min'ster of the gospel and a registercd physician had an amusing. experience in his attempt to corner a Christlan Scientist. Every time they met this Scientist took occasion to scoff at medical science and to dwell upon the wonders tbhat could be per- fornad tarongh faltn. “You are convinced that through faith you can do anything,” said the medical man one day. “Yes.”s he replied; “faith will move mountains.” A week later he was in the doctor's oftice with a swollen jaw, due to tooth- ache. “What, you here?" the doctor ex- claimed, with feigned astonishment. “Oh, doctor,” he said, “1 have suf- fered agouy all throush the night. I simply can’t stand this pain any longer!” “Have you tried faith?” the physi- clan asked him. “You know you told me faith could move mountains.” “But this is a cavity, doctor.” Pleasing the Sultan. Kaid Belton told the following story, which illustrates exactly the attitude of the sultan of Morocco toward the French: One day the sultan asked a lady, the wife of his dentist, to play one of the planos that were in the room of the palace. She played several pieces, one of them at length catching the sultan’s fancy, whereupon the following little dialogue took place: Sultan — That piece is very nice. ‘What is it called? Dentist—It is the “March on Cadiz.” It was written to commemorate the Spaniards driving the French out of ' Spain, Sultan—What! Spain? Dentist—Yes. Sultan—~How many of them? Dentist—About 200.000. Sultan (in a surprised tone)—And the Spaniards drove them out? + Dentist—Yes, every one of them, There was a slight pause while the sultan was thinking hard, and then: Sultan (quietly)—Play it again, Were the French in . His Interference. The twists and turns taken by fak- ing horse dealers to get out. of their bad bargains are proverbial. A little incident f{llustrative of the -tribe took place recently at a stable on North Broad street. where an irresponsible settler had succeeded in palming off a defective horse on a too easy buyer. The new owner turned up with the horse a few days after the purchase and angrily exclaimed. “Didn’t you say this horse was perfectly safe and wouldn’t trouble anybody?”’ The deal- er coolly asked, “What's the matter with the horse?’” The dupe replied: “You know well enough. He inter- feres badly.” With a curt “Well, he doesn’t interfere With "anybody but himself, does he?’ the fake dealer brushed the matter aside, and the pur- chaser found himself without a reme- dy.—Philadelphia Record. A Great Military Feat. Nonza, in Corsica. is very proud of the story of a great military feat per- formed there long ago. It is told in “Romantic Corsica,” by George Ren- wick. The French in 1768 had subjugated all the northern cape with the excep- tion of the tower of Nonza, which for a considerable time sustained a close siege. Attacking parties were driven back by a fierce fire, but at last the garrison agreed to surrender if allow- ed to march out with all the honors of war. This was conceded, and old CGaptain Cascella appeared, staggering under a load of muskets and pistols. “Why is the garrison so long in com- ing out?’ asked the French com- mander. “It is here, sir,” replied Cascella. *1 am the garrison.” Glass Solvent. Hydrofluoric acid is an acid com- pound of hydrogen and fluorine. It may be prepared by the action of sul- phuric acid upon cryolite in an ap- propriate apparatus made of lead or platinum. It may thus be readily ob- tained in a liquid form and is color- less. Its vapors are exceedingly poi- sonous, and the liquid itself, even when mixed with more or less water. causes severe' swellings on the skin. Great caré must therefore be taken in working with this acid. Hydrofluoric acid dissolves glass, forming hydro- fluosilicic acid with its silica; hence its use for making etchings on glass.— Exchange. ) They Come Later. The Young Wife (showing her furni- ture)—Here's the rocking chair for the parlor. Isn’t it just lovely? Mrs. Old- ley (rather critically)—But I don’t see any rockers, dear. Oh, they’ll be here next month. You See, we are buying the chair on the installment plan, and we have paid for the rockers yet.—Chicago News. Well Settled. Riggs—Did your wife’s father settle anything on you when you married his daughter? Briggs—You bet he did. He settled himself on us, and we can’t get rid of him.—Boston Transcript. Fashion’s Whirl. ‘ “How long do we stay at Jupiter ] Junction, John?” “Twenty minules, my dear. You won’t need over two gowns.”—Louis- ville Courier-Journal. There is no beautifier of complexion or form or behavior like the wish to scatter joy and not pain ar ou. ar e . e The Young Wife— | Perhaps. Mr. Clubman—I see by the papers that a poor young man who lost both his legs while saving the life of a beautiful heiress at a railway crossing is to marry the girl. She dismissed all suitors and offered herself to him. Mrs. C. (meaningly)—Very sensible girl. She’ll know where her husband is nights anyway. Badly Balanced. A witty Frenchman wrote at the commencement of this century a very interesting and amusing book bearing | the title, “Les Agremens et les Chagrins | des Mariages." four pages are devoted to the “agre- mens" (joys) and the remaining 350 to the “chagrins” (sorrows). .
