Newman, of the Methodist Episcopal church, he was known in that city as a free and generous giver to charity, says Blue and @ray. When the late war was at its height the bishop was constantly importuned for aid, and as constantly gave it where the request was worthy of attention. One day in the latter part of 18G3 the bishop was busy on a sermon, when he received a request to visit the bedside of a man far out in the suburbs of the city. The name was new to him; he was very busy, and asked to be excused. But no retusal would be taken, and the bishop entered his carriage and drove to the man's house. He had expected to find his petitioner in the last stages of disease, but, to his surprise the man appeared in excellent health. The bishop then asked if he wanted spiritual counsel. "No, Bishop Newman," the man proudly replied, "I don't want any of your advice. I'm a hardshell Baptist, and I am all right. What I do want is $100 to get to Natchez, where I have relatives." Although somewhat startled by the brazen presumption of the man, the bishop ventured to say: "Isn't $100 considerable for a ticket to Natchez?" "Well, yes, I suppose it is. But do you think I want to sponge on my poor relatives after I get there ?" The Wrong Passenger-.?One may, perhaps, presume so far upon old acquaintanceship as to indulge occasionally in a mild,, practical joke, but to attempt familiarity with strangers is "another kind of game." A city street arab was wont to play rather roughly with a good natured bull-dog, owned by a shop-keeper of the neighborhood. One day the boy was walking when he saw the dog approach iug. "Hi! there's Towse !" he cried. "Now see me scare him !" He stepped in front of the dog, with arms extended, and partially blocked the passage. The animal looked surprised, stopped and evidently considered within himself what it would be best to do. "I never knew him to act like that," said the joker. "He always lays down on his hack and rolls. I'll stir him up a little." With that he sprang at the dog and caught him by the ears. "Towse," was evidently amazed, biit he proved equal to the occasion. Fastening his teeth in the boy's trousers, in startling nearness to an expanse of bare knee, he held on like a vise. Just at that moment the boy caught sight of an unfamiliar spot of white on the animal's head, and dropped his hold to take at once to his heals, leaving a goodly portion of woolen cloth in the creature's mouth. "Run, Pasty, run!" he shouted to his chum. "He's gone and turned hisself into another dog!" Undesirable Room.?At first sight it would seem that it must be an unreasonable man who would find fault with a house because it had one more room than was mentioned in the advertisement; but first sight is not always the best sight. A real estate agent sent a customer to look at a five-roomed house, that being just the size he professed to want. The house proved to be sadly out of repair, and the prospective tenant went back to the agents office. "I didn't want a six-roomed house," he said. "That isn't a six-roomed house," answered the agent. "Yes, it is." "But I say it is not," and the agent began counting. "There's the kitchen, diuing room, reception room, and two bed rooms. That's five, isn't it?" "Yes, but there's the room for improvement, and that's bigger than any of the others," said the facetious customer. "Can't you show me something else ?" Didn't Want to Lose Him.?A Detroit inan who goes hunting occasionally without any great detriment to the live stock of the forest, though perhaps some to the live stock l^e ^e^s> the Detroit Free Press, concluded, not long ago, that he would organize an expedition of two and make a foray. So he consulted his ollice boy. "I say, Tommie," he said, "how would you like to go out on a little hunt with me?" "I don't know, sir," responded the boy in some doubt. "I'd have to see mother first." "All right; ask your mothef, and let me know in the morning." The next morning the boy saw the gentleman. "Well," he inquired, "what did your mother say ?" "She said," replied the boy, very innocently, "that I might go if you would take somebody else along with us to do the shootin'." A Cruel Wretch.?It isn't fair to give the Detroit girl away, possibly, but truth will out, even in a newspaper. Detroit has one among its countless pretty girls, who was in the country, and one day she happened out toward the cow lot about milking time and was asking the man several questions. "Why don't you milk that cow ?" she asked, pointing to one in an adjoining lot. "Because she's dry, Miss." "Dry ?" "Yes, Miss. She's been dry for two weeks." "You cruel wretch," she exclaimed, "why don't you give her some water?" and the man turned his face to the cow house and shook with emotions he could not suppress. The Joke Didn't Work.?A man at a Chicago hotel in a loud tone of voice called his friend back just as he was leaving the dinning-room, and then whispered to him : "How far would you have got if I hadn't called you back ?" The other, straightening himself up, replied in a tone loud enough for all to hear : "No, sir; I won't lend you $5. I haven't got it on me, and if I had I wouldn't let you have it until you paid me what you borrowed two mouths ago." His friend will never call him back again in a public dining room. ? ? ti&T "Ura Hogg," replied a sweet little lady in Houston, Tex., the other day, when a Georgia drummer ventured to ask her name. The commercial tourist Hushed up, begged the lady's pardon, explained that he did not intend to offend her, and hastily departed. When the Georgian learned the next day that the little lady was the governor's daughter and she had not denounced him as a swine, but had only told him her name, he went to the barn and bumped his head against a post for not remembering that the governor of Texas is a Hogg, and hud named his daughter Ura. What Hk Wrote.?Teacher?There is one of my brightest boys sitting over there writing, while his companions are wasting their time in idle play. No doubt, he is writing his lessons for tomorrow. Here, Jimmie, let me see what you are writing." Jimmie?No'm ; I don't want to." Teacher?Ah, see his modesty ! Come, I want to read it." This is what he read : ?-"I'lease excuse my son James from school today, as he is needed at home." ? ? Knew Where To (Jo.?"Can you match this piece of calico ?" said Farmer Oldtime jus he entered Cobwebb's dry goods store.

At the same time, we regret I that they have chosen the plan adopted ' 'land known as the "Roddey plan" of form- 'j ing a cotton trust. , In my opinion, the idea is a crude one, < 4 adopted without proper thought, and will < ; result in failure. The idea was no doubt ' , based upon the success of the sugar, coal, ' oil and other trusts, which are composed ' i of a lew individuals and corporations, | and for that reason act together as a unit; ] 1 not only in withholding their products from < the market, but in limiting their production l ^ C-/^ .!_ (n winnt Uin tuts nf Jind ' nothing more. The central idea in the j i Roddey plan is to withhold a certain per | centum of the product from market and | expect a rise in the price, even if the surplus < I exists and is withheld from market. I We feel assured in our own mind that this j . will not give the desired relief. The setting aside of the enormous amount of one mil : lion eight-hundred thousand bales of cotton, j which would be one-fifth of the estimated < 5 crop of the present year, with probably as much more next year, will result in an ac- J J cumulation of cotton that would constitute | a powerful lever in the hands of the bears f * to keep down the price of cotton. The I knowledge that this amount of cotton is in < existence, would be a sufficient reason to I . j the spinners, as well as the speculators for i low prices. Another fault to be found with ' , . ... , < . j this remedy, is that 110 provision is made to ( I ward off the decline in price that would j r result when this large amount of cotton is I j put 011 the market, unless there is a deficieu- < flcy of production equal to the amount of ' I the reserve to be sold. Unless the plan ' 1 j contemplates some effectual means to limit ^ j the production below the demands of the , j world by as much as the one-fifth of the crop i to be reserved, the whole thing must result ' disastrously. We do not believe that any 1 t such limitation of production can be secured by concerted action, by means of a trust as j 5 proposed, because of the impossibility of se- 1 curing united and prompt action by our I farmers, isolated as they are and uuaccus- ' tomed to act together as a body. 1 -1 Most farmers, I am afraid, would plant j ! a greater acreage by one-fifth, so as to have , 1 this surplus to place in the trust. Some who would not go into the trust would plant I a larger acreage, hoping to profit by any rise in prices that might result from the ope- . t' ration of the plan. Radical changes in the ' system of agriculture pursued by a people , , are always of slow growth and are the re2 suit of gradually growing convictions that a 1 change is imperatively demanded. This i change in our system of farming must come? 1 1 in fact is now gradually taking place. The mnro Tirnorcssive and intelligent of our ' farmers have already realized that our only . s salvation lies in a diversified agriculture that does not depend for success upon any . one crop as a money crop. The setting aside 1 of one-fifth of the products of their labor in ) the production of the cotton crop, amount) ing in value to $57,000,000, pre-supposes a state of prosperity among our farmers which we do not believe exists. 1 Why not deversify your crops? Why not j ruise something of which there is not a surplus? The people of the United States ' consumed last year 250,000,000 bushels of Irish potatoes imported from abroad, costt ing $150,000,000; half as much and more than our entire cotton crop will bring. No ; surplus and low prices in this, and the same s can be said of many other products that are adopted to our soil and climate. Let every 5 farmer think for himself and not depend 3 upon a trust to think and act for him. Let him read and inform himself, and he will need no trust with principal office in New ' York or elsewhere, with salaried officers, insurance on his cotton and other expenses, s' with the chances that the trust will degenerate into a scheme for the enrichment of a . few speculators and loss to the stockholders, r There is no quick route to better prices of s cotton by this plan. You cannot counter- ( act the effect of surplus cotton on prices by < * | shutting it up in a warehouse. The whole world knows that it is "in there" and they 1 i will shut down and wait for it to come out I , _ j before they will allow you to dictate prices. ( , The world is two strong for the cotton I ' planters to be able to compel it to pay high i prices for a crop of which there is a surplus, f ?Rowland Black. j >. ? 1 ^ A lsi kb Ci.ovkk.?This variety of clover was introduced into this country from ) Sweden about 40 years ago, and is not as generally sown as its value seems to warrant. 1 It is more hardy than red clover and almost r if not quite as productive, and is equally ; # i desirable as feed for all kinds of stock, and - will thrive on soils where the red can hardly 1 get a foothold.

The seeds are much smaller than those of ' red clover and only about six pounds are rej quired to the acre. Another reason why so I little seed is necessary is that the plant branches more heavily than the red and spreads like white clover, which it some-j '' what resembles, though it is much taller, j | and the flowers are tinged with pink.

Wild [logs slept in the old log house, and the screech owl, with his nerve startling tremulo, roosted under the eaves. Conference after conference had attempted to reclaim the aid church, for the vines of many fond memories were clinging about it, but each attempt was a failure. There had been a time when the glad shout of the regenerated and the thankful prayer of the sanctified called forth ii hymn of joy from the devout congregation, but that time was long ago, for boys who bad then, clinging to the shirts of their exited mothers, wondered what the commotion meant, had become fathers, the religious system, and consequently the social complexion of the neighborhood, had been changed by the war. The saintly brother, harrassed by guerrillas and robbed by marauders that belonged to both armies, moved away ; many af them, and those who remained, forgot their church relations, and finally became rough sneerers at the creed of which they 1 bad once been strong, but gentle supporters ; so, many years later, the uncouth men of the 1 Wildcat circuit laughed at the efforts of conference, aud actually mistreated the preachers who came among them. Several weeks ago a newly made preacher, concerning whom there had been considers- 1 t>le discussion relative to the circuit to which 1 ne should be sent arose in conference and said: "Brethern, it appears that somebody 1 wants for himself or for a friend every j [dace that is suggested for me. Now, all I want is a chance to work. I am not looking mt for a place where they feed a preacher jn fried chicken and at night tumble him in .0 a ieauier lieu. i Iiiivc ^une iiuu uu? preaching business with the expectation of j liaving a pretty tough time, but I am prepnr- j jd for it?I was graduated with honors from j the college of Toughness, have been editor' )f a country) paper during a campaign for sheriff. Now, brethren, 1 am very sorry to | see why there should be any controversy on j my account, and to show you that I shall be i satisfied?yen, even pleased with my assignment, I will announce my determination of re-establishing the Wildcat circuit." The young preachers, given to levity, bc;an to laugh, but the older ones, several of ivhom had hoed the row of experience, shook their heads gravely and were serious. "Brother Gregory," said an old man, "do ive understand you to mean that you will face a gang of ruffians and attempt to plant the Gospel in a soil where it once nourished, but from which it was violently torn up by the roots ?" "That is what I mean. Those men may be ruffians, but they will not dare to use violence." "They may not use positive violence, Brother Gregory, hut they know how to apply a thousand annoyances. They make a preacher ridiculous, then laugh at him. [ went there some time ago, but I will never go again." "They may make me ridiculous," Brother Gregory responded, "but I shall not allow 1111 imaginative picture to turn me aside j from my purpose." A number of the brethren strove to dissuade Brother Gregory from carrying out the plans of his rash determination, but the next day the headstrong evangelist set out on a journey to the Wildcat circuit. Without telling the object of his visit to the neigh bor'nood, he engaged board at a house situated near the church, and the next morning, after his arrival lie gave himself over to the work of clearing away the weeds that grew about the sacred old pile of logs. He pulled down the green-brier that grew over the door, washed with soapsuds the inside of the house, and, after completing his work, announced to a number of curious spectators, that there would, in that house, be preaching the following Sunday. When the time arrived, the house was well filled with "snickerers" and scoffers, hut Brother Gregory, undaunted in the contemplation of so cheerless a prospect, stepped up into the oak slab pulpit and declnred that he had come to preach, and that the privilege of retiring was granted to anyone who did not care to hear him. "I came as a friend to persuade and not as an enemy to coerce," said he. "I huvecome here to join you in all of your sympathies, in all of your sports and pastimes." "Glad to hear that," old Nick Dacy spoke up. "Might'ly pleased to know that you air goin' ter jine us, an' as this jest about our time uv day ter caper a little, w'y, you can fall in right at once." Benches had been removed from the center of the room, leaving an open space. Nick stepped into the "clearing" and standing 'on his head, cracked his heels together. The congregation shouted with laughter. The | preacher came down out of the pulpit, stood i on his head and cracked his heels together, i Old Nick got down 011 all fours galloped j about the open space and yelped liko a dog. "Ounk, ounk, ounk !" he barked. The preacher got down on his all fours j and galloped with a high-keyed "ounk, i ounk,ounk !" Old Nick lay down and grunted like a hog. So did Brother Gregory. The people exchanged many glances of amazement. "Say," said Nick. "Well," the preacher answered. "You are sorter one of the hovs ain't you ?" "I told you I had come to join you in your sports and pastimes." "I thought you come to preach." "So I did, but I do not intend to preach until you are ready to listen." "Do you reckon we need prcachin' ter j so mighty bad ?" "Not half so much as do the people who 1 live in the towns." "Then why don't you go and preach to them ?" "Because I do not wish to destroy my i natural manhood by talking to people whose every aim is to be unnatural. "How are you on a rassle?" "I am not an expert on wrestling; but if the congregation will it, I will try vou 011 a I few falls." The congregation, with a yell, expressed an enthusiastic willingness. The wrestling 1 took place outside, as the puncheon lloor I ?? ?< 1*1111,..,. I,01,1 threw tile ; preacher; hut llrothcr Gregory, still willing to enter into the sympathies and to take j part in all the sports and pastimes, declared j his readiness for another "llirt." The congregation cheered this evidence of nerve, J ami the two men interlaced themselves in a j combination known as the "Alabama! stitch." "Cut your capers," said old Nick. "Lead oil' with your fancy steps," the preacher remarked. This time Nick went down. "Throw oil' the tie," a justice of the peace shouted. "(Jive us another fall." "No, let mc make a suggestion," said ! lirother Gregory. "I have entered into your j sympathies, now you enter into mine; I: have joined your sports and pastimes, now j you join mine." "That ain't no more than fair," old Nick exclaimed. "That's fair!" the congregation shouted. "Well, then, come inside now and listen : quietly to what I have to say." They went in and sat down, and now a hush fell upon the crowd that a few mo-1 monts before had been so noisy. "My dear friends," said the preacher, "I want to tell! you of a Man whose life was tender and | beautiful, who shared the sorrow of all humanity. He poured faith and love into! hearts that were broken ; He plucked the evil glitter from the eye of human wickedness, and in its place set the warm glow of trust and ali'ection. Do you want to hear about this Man ?" j "Yes, tell us," the congregation shouted. ! Then the preacher in words as simple as 1 the prattle story of a child, told them of the Saviour of mankind. It was a story that! many of them had heard and forgotten, and i the recollection came back to them likej ? u-nvm uliimwe r>f love. When the storv I had been finished, when a hymn had been j sung, the people silently dispersed. The next day 100 axes rang in the woods. The men were getting out logs to he used in the I construction of a new church. Two HfNiMtKi) ( Hll.DKKN.?A certain queen of Denmark paid a visit to the Danish colony of Iceland where the good old bishop exerted himself to the utmost to show her everything that was worth seeing. The queen paid many compliments to her host, and, having learned that he was a family man, graciously inquired how many child-; rcn he had. It happens that the Danish ! word for "children" is almost identical in sound with the Icelandic'word for "sheep." So the worthy bishop? whose knowledge of Danish was not so eomplete as it might have been?understood her majesty to ask how many sheep he owned, and promptly answered : "Two hundred." "Twohundred children !" cried the queen, i astounded. "How can you possibly maintain such a number?" "Easily enough, please your majesty,", replied the prelate, with a cheerful smile. "In the summer I turn them out upon the hills to grass, and when winter comes I kill and eat them."

Experi-j mentors and students in any orancn 01 science over and over again find themselves committing serious faults in deductions ami conelu-' sions when tlie work lias been done on aj damp, foggy day. In a paper in science, Dr. T. I). Crothcrs puts this forward as a i promising field of study. He gives, as well, several proofs of his assertions. "An actuary: in a large insurance company," he says, "is J obliged to stop work at such times, finding! that he makes so many mistakes, which he j is only conscious of later, that his work is, useless. In a large factory from 10 to 20, per cent, less work is brought out on damp] days and days of threatening storm. The superintendent, in receiving orders to be delivered at a certain time, takes this factor j into calculation. tm | &AKIN13 j POWDER Absolutely Pure. : < A cream of tartar baking |>o\v?ler.
