At a recent dinner, one' of the
speakers related the story of a visitor
to a Sunday school who, in addressing
the children, said:
"I come from Massachusetts; I am

and to save you from going to
hell." After repeating this introduction
to his remarks, the visitor said:

"From Massachusetts," was the

"Where am I going," he then asked.
There was a pause, his geographical

John was rather backward in popping

to get married, thought she would
try a scheme of her own.
While out walking one day she
said blushingly, "John, what do you
think all the people in the village are
siyingf"
$ I don't know," said John.
VWell, they all say that we are
going to get married."
"Ab, ah," said John. "Now we'll
show them they're mistaken, and we
woj't get married."

At a certain ball in the country the
other evening a gentleman undertook
to introduce a companion to a young
but somewhat stout lady, who seemed
to be pining for a dance.
uNo, thanks, old fellow. I don't
care to waltz with a cart.''
A "cart" is understood in the district
referred to as a partner who
does not do her share of the dancing:
but has to be drawn aronnd.
A few evenings later the same
young lady, who had overheard the
conversation, beheld the young man
seeking an introduction and asking
if he might have the honor, etc.
"No, thank you," she replied. "I
may be a cart, but I am not a donkey

Wants Others to Know.
"I have used DeWitt's Little

liver and they are all right. I am
glad to indorse them for I think
when we find a good thing we ought
to let others know it," writes Alfred

gripe or distress. Sure, safe pills.

The Scepter.
The scepter was the emblem of power.
As the silver wand, so familiar in
cathedrals, was once hollow, containing
the "virge" or rod with which chastise
ment was inflicted upon the choristers
and younger members of the foundation,
so the royal scepter represented
the right to inflict punishment Hence
the expression "to sway the scepter"
implied the holding of regal dignity.
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional signification of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The same idea was conveyed
at Reims by the beautifu, ceremony
of letting loose a number of
doves at the coronation of the French
kings.?Good Words.

"You talk mighty glib about the corruption
in this ward," interrupted a
sallow faced man in the audience.
"What business is it of yours? Have
you got any permanent investments in

"Yes. I have!" thundered the orator. !

LOOK LIKE FLATIRONS.
Cnrious Stone Implement* of Our
Aborigines Puzzle ScientiMts.
Among thousands of curious objects
of utility, weapons, etc.. of the races
that peopled North America in prehistoric
times that one sees in the cases
and cabinets in the Smithsonian institution
are some five or more curiously
wrought stone objects from mounds in
Tennessee bearing such a close resemblance
to modern flatirons that
many people have thought that such
might have been their use among their
prehistoric makers, although it would
be hard to imagine what the primitive
aborigines of this continent had to
iron.
The shape and appearance of these
objects in every way correspond with
a modern fiatiron. handle and all, and
thus far scientific men have been unable
to discover what they were used
for. It is, however, just a little singular
that wrought stones, similar to the
ones from the Tennessee mounds, have

the Incas and at the necropolis of Ancon.
The old Spanish writers, men
who accompanied Pizzaro in the conquest
of that country, state that the
ancient Peruvians, who were great
builders, used these wrought stones, or
so called flatirons, as trowels in plastering
walls with mortar.
The objects found in one of the Tennessee
mounds are the only ones that
were ever found in the United States,
and the only way to account for their
presence in that locality is to suppose
that in pre-Columbian times a great
deal of Peruvian material reached
countries far to the north of the isthmus
by means of intertribal trade.?

NATURAL HISTORY.

vicinity of the Darling river. Australia.
are over six inches in length.
The leaders of a flock of migrating
wild geese become tired sooner than
others and are frequently relieved by
their fellows.
The gray buzzard is said to be the
heaviest bird that flies, the young
males, when food is plentiful, weighing
nearly forty pounds. The bird is nearly
extinct
The terrapin lives largely upon crabs.
He never eats his food, but bolts it
His favorite tidbit is the crab's claw,
which he swallows whole with the
greatest relish.
The glowworm lays eggs which, it is
said, are themselves luminous. However,
the young hatched from them are
not possessed of those peculiar properties
until after the first transformation.
A whistling moth is au Australian
i rarity. There is a glassy space on the
wings crossed with ribs. When the
moth wants to whistle, it strikes these
ribs with its antennae, which ha^e a
knob at the end. The sound is a love
call from the male to the female.
