Infant Baptisms In Russia.
"I was fortunate enough," writes
Trumbull White, "to visit the Church
of St. David. in Tiflis, Russia, just in
time to attend a baptismal ceremony.
According to the rites of the Greek
church, as practiced in this ancient
Georgian temple, the youngster in
question, a fine boy 4 or 5 weeks old,
had to be Immersed three times in a
baptismal font filled with water, each
time to be completely covered, in ad
dition to various blessings and anoint
ings with holy oil and several long
prayers.
"The benevolent looking old priest
proved himself a man of kindly
thoughtfulness. While the familygroup
around the baby was getting him prop
erly unclad, for the ceremony requires
that the child shall be naked, the priest
surreptitiously dipped his finger Into
the font, and I saw by his face that it
was too cold. Then he stepped behind
a screen, where his samovar was
steaming, emptied the hot water into
a pitcher, and while the family still
kept busy over the baby he poured
enough to temper the pool that had
been provided for the shorn lamb. The
result was that the little fellow took
his plunges without a murmur and
thereby distinguished himself."-Chl

"Paradise B'iled Down."
A tourist tells how he traveled with
a young couple evidently on their hon
eymoon, and the passengers in that
particular carriage were on the grin
most of the time over their antics.
The bride had got the man she loved,
and she didn't care who saw her put
her head on his shoulder. The bride
groom had got a farm with his wife,
and if he wanted to feed her on sweets
or squeeze her hand whose business
was it?
Alittle old man sat directly opposite
the couple, and he looked at them so
often that the young husband finally
explained:
"We've just got married."
"I knowed it all the time," chuckled
the other.
"And we can't help it, you know."
"No, you can't. I'll be blowed If you
can!"
"I presume It all seems very sills to
an old man like you," continued the
husband.
"Does It? Does it?" cackled the old
fellow. "Well, I can tell you it does
not, then. I've been there three times
over, and now I'm on my way to marry
a fourth. Silly! Why, children, it's
paradise b'iled down!"-London Fun.
Old London Sundays.
We have got it into our heads that
Sunday was better observed in the
puritanical acceptance of the word
three or four generations back than it
is now. It was quite otherwise. All
the great ladies when Queen Victoria
came to the throne-the Duchess of
Wellington, the Duchess of Rutland,
the Marchioness of Salisbury, the La
dy Hyde Parker, the Misses Walpole
had regular card parties on a Sunday,
and there were concerts and receptions
all over the town announced with be.

How to Get a Genial Dog.
A vagrant dog, particularly a cur
with seven or eight different strains of
common dog in him, is the best kind
of a dog to own. He Is always smi~ling
and wagging his tail at you, and his
appreciation of little favors Is only
equaled by his appetite. A fancy dog
with a blue ribbon around his neck is
always looking for an opportunity to
snap at children. If we kept a dog,
we would keep a yellow one, purchased
as a pup from a negro boy.-Atchison

Ancient Cattle and Butcherin'g.
The earliest records of Egypt depict
a. butcher cutting up an ox, exactly as
it is done today outside of the great
slaughtering establishments, with a
knife that he sharpened upon a steel
that hung at his side and providing
cuts of meat precisely like ours.
They used leather, and they did better
tanning than we do; the blood, instead
of being processed into fertilizing, was
used for cooking purposes, and our
Spanish friends never see a better bull
fght than was daily purveyed for the
delectation of those ancient "sports."
A little later in the world's history

in the cattle trade, for do not some

The Lady and the Teeth.
"I was called one day to a certAjW
hotel to give chloroform to a youbg
woman who was about to undergo a
slight surgical operation to remove a
morbid growth in the ear," said a phy
sician. "The patient, as it developed
on my arrival, bad been married only a
few days before and was in the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
'Although quite handsome, she was no
longer ,exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having
her husband present at the operation.
However, he insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but I no
tieed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied.
"The operation, as I said before, was
trifling. She took the chloroform easily
and all went well until she was just
regaining consciousness, when she
opened her mouth, and out fell a set of
false teeth. She had said nothing about
that detail, and the truth was that she
had hoped, poor woman, to pass
through the ordeal without the fact of
her wearing such things being known
to her husband.
"But the effect on that individual
was entirely unexpected. He gave one
horrified glance and then rushed at the
old surgeon and seized him by the
throat 'You infamous scoundrel' he
yelled. 'You have broken my poor dar
ling's jaw!'
"At that stage of affairs I beat a re
treat. I never did learn exactly what
the husband thought had happened or
what sort of explanation was offered."

He Drank Alone.
In the early days of Ventura, Cal.,
Dr. Bard established such a reputation
for willingness to fight that few pre
sumed to provoke his anger. He was
once informed that the lawyer he had
engaged to represent him in a certain
case had sold out to the opposing side.
"PIl cut his heart out," said Bard when
the news came to him.
Shortly after that, walking with one
of his friends, Dr. Bard met the law
yer en the street. "Come in and have
a drink," said that worthy, and the
three men, entering the barroom, or
dered three glasses of whisky, which
were put before them.
"Drink," said Dr. Bard to the law
yer.
"Not until you are ready," the law
yer politely replied.
"No, not with me," said Bard; "you
drink now."
"Not until you drink," insisted the
legal light.
Dr. Bard's pistol was out In a mo
ment and pointed between the eyes of
the man who had betrayed him.
"Drink!" said he in a voice of thun
der; "drink, I tell you!" The lawyer
drank with ayidity, and when he was
through Bard and his friend threw
their full glasses on the floor. "We
don't drink with curs," said they and,
turning their backs, walked out of the
room.-San Francisco Argonaut
It Waan't the Bell.
The Lewiston (Me.) Journal tells a
story of a minister in a prayer meeting
who cut short "Uncle" Ira, a prosy old
deacon, by ringing a bell at the end of
five minutes. But after doIng so he
felt sorry, because he had apparently
hurt the feelings of an old father in
Israel. So he arose and went down to
"Uncle" Ira and put his hand on the
old man's shoulder.
"'Uncle' Ira," said he, "i'm sorry for
that. I ask your pardon and"
"Uncle" Ira looked up, the anger still
in his eyes.
"Why, ye don't think I set down on
account of that pesky little bell of
your'n, do ye?" he demanded.
"Why, I-I-well, I thought"- stam
mered the minister.
"Waal," said "Uncle" Ira, "ye needn't
think no more about that belL. I want
to tell ye right now that no bells ain't
ever goin to set me down in this vestry
where I've talked goin on 29 years. I
want to tell ye right now, young man,

"The revenue cutters of the United
States, as you may know," said an offi
cer of one of them who likea his little
joke, "confine their services, which are
really Invaluable to the government, to
the coast, and it is a rare thing indeed
for any one of them except those of the
Bering sea patrol to venture any dis
tance out to sea. Nor Is this rule an
upsatisfactory one, for, say what you
please about it, sea service is not as
pleasant as the novelists and other ro
mancers would have you believe.
"But I am getting off of my story,
which applies to the cutter Grant when
she was doing duty in New York bay
and vicinity. Something had happened
to call her down the shore somewhere,
and she left the bay one afternoon, and
early the next morning, while she was
bowling along at about seven knots an
hour, she hailed a big foWr master.
"'What ship is that?' came the cry
from the Grant.
"'The Royal Bengal Tiger, 243 days

'What ship Is that?'
"'Revenue cutter Grant,' was the
plaintive answer, 'and we've been out

A Bold Lkttle Bird.
The boneybird is a well known deni
zen of many parts of the Transvaal.
It has the unique peculiarity that It
does not fear men and women, but
actually flies up to them, uttering a
plaintive low note and, flying about
their heads, tries to lead them on to
the nearest clump of rocks or kopje.
The bird knows full well that under a
certain rock lies a store of honey, con
cealed by the cunning bees, and, rock
honey being as much esteemed by
birds as by human beings, the clever
little fellow tries to induce a friendly
being with two strong hands to push
aside the rock, so that it may get to
the honey.
If it succeeds in its object and the
traveler on the veldt, attracted by the
bird's fiutterings to and fro between
himself and the rocks, finds the honey,
the bird changes its plaintive tone to
one of joy and pleasure, as much as to
say; "Thank you very much."
