His first was. "Get all you can." The farmer nudged a neighbor and said: "This is strange preaching. I never heard the like be fore This is very good." Then Wes ley discoursed on "Industry." "Activi. ty." "Living to Purpose," and reached his necond division, "Save all you can." The farmer became more ex cited. "Was there ever anything like this?" he said. Wesley denounced thriftlessness and waste. and he sati f-zed the willful wickedness which lay isbes in luxury. and the farmer rubbed his Itands. and he thought. "All this I have been taught from my youth up. and what with getting and what with hoarding It seemed to him that "sal vation" had come to his house. But WVesIey advanced to his third head. which was "Give all you can." *Ah, dear; ab. dear," said the farmer; "he has gone and spoiled it all!" A Deceptive Fish. A naturalist who Is familiar with Ceylon writes: "In the clear water of Colombo harbor it is not uncommon to see fallen and faded leaves of the jak tree floating a short distance be low the surface or sinking slowly to the bottom. Certain small fish, com monly known as sea bats, mimic these leaves both in form and color in order to escape detection. Both in shape and color they look when in the water like waterlogged leaves, but when removed from their native ele ment this resemblance is immediately lost. They float in the water half side ways and all swim in the same direc tion, turning simultaneously. On one occasion Mr. Willey attempted to cap ture one of these sea bats in a rock pool -and directly he made a plunge with the hand aet saw nothing except what he took to be a jak leaf slowly and inertly sink to the bottom. To his astonishment, as be withdrew the net the supposed leaf righted Itself and darted away." Foley's Kidney Remedy is particularly recommended for chronic cases of kidney and bladder trouble.

At one time a friend complained to President Lincoln that a certain cabi net officer was administering his otfice with unusual energy with the hope of secudng the presidential nomination. '"That reminds me," said Mr. Lincoln. "that my brother and I were once plow ing a field with a lazy horse, hut at times he rushed across the field so fast that I could hardly keep up with him. At last I found an enormous chin fly on him and knocked it off. Now, I am not going to make that mistake a sec ond time. If the secretary has a chin fly on him I am not going to knock it off, If It will only make his department Little Dr. Holmes. Thomas Wentworth Higginson in speaking of Dr. Holmes said: "He was a very small man physical ly. Though one of the greatest physi clans in the country and one of the greatest wits and writers, he bad al most a boyish appearance. I remem ber when be returned to Harvard to attend a meeting.of the Phi Beta Kap pa he had a poem to recite, and he bad to stand on a table so that all might see him. 'Dr. Holmes had studied in Paris quite a remarkable thing in those days -and his services as a consultant in serious cases were always in demand. In one serious case the patient was a woman. As her own family physician entered the room with Dr. Holmes, who had been called in. the patient turned around in bed and said indig nantly: "'Doctor, why do you bring that boy into this room?' 'Why.' espostulated' the family physician. 'that's Dr. Holmes!' 'He isn't a doctor,' answer ed the patient peevishly. 'Take him out!' "And Dr. Holmes had to leave the room, much to his annoyance. Then the family physician got a chance to explain matters, and Dr. Holmes went in. but. as he confessed to me after ward. with very bad grace. He didn't like to be taken for a boy even by a very sick woman."-New York Trib une. Seeing Your Own Brain. In Professor Lloyd's work, "The End of the World." the experiment of see Ing one's own brain is interesting. The experimenter, with a lighted can die, enters a perfectly dark room. He stands before a black curtain or wall, so that details cannot be seen by the candle's feeble light. The candle is moved laterally to and fro in front of the eyes, keeping it about six inches from the face and just below the tip of the nose. In a few minutes some thing, as if a thin mist, seems to grow before the eyes. It becomes more definite and gains outline, and then soon one may distinguish the venation aAl the division of the brain. The theory is that the moving light produces a counter irritation of the nerves that conduct *ne impression of sight to the brain. The current is re versed, and the brain is pictured on the retina. Then. the impression re turns through the nerves and affects the brain so that we see it. Shepherd and Sheep. A minister was once addressing a Sunday school. It was a Sunday school of little children, and the min Ister in his address desired to compare himself to a shepherd and his congre gation to the shepherd's flocks. "What are these beautiful animals?" he said, pointing to a drawing on the blackboard. "Sheep. sheep!" chorused the chil dren. "And the cloaked figure in the fore ground-what is he?" "A shepherd!" the children cried. "Exactly," agreed the minister, beaming with satisfaction. "And now, dear children, can you tell me what It is that the shepherd does for the sheep?" A score of little mouths opened wide, and a score of treble voices cried shrilly: "He shears 'em I" Quaint Cures of Old. F Eor epilepsy wear a ring made from a coffin ring and take seven drops of blood from the tail of a cat. These remedies are equally efficacious either separately or in conjunction. For tooth ache carry in the pocket the tooth of a soldier killed in battle or eat mouse nibbled bread or trim your nails on a Friday. To cure warts, rub a potato and give the potato to a pig, or rub them with a piece of chalk, then put it in a little bag and throw it across crossroads. Holding the affected fin ger in the ear of a cat for half an hour was reckoned an excellent remedy for a felon. Origin of the Word "Farm." The origin of the word "farm" is as follows: In the Saxons' time the es tates which the lords of manors grant ed to the freemen were at first but for a term of years, with a render of a rent. which in those days was of corn) and other produce. The leases so made were called fermes or farmes, but times ensuing turned the produce Into money and terms of years to terms of life and inheritance.-West minster Gazette. Hopeless.

Prizes for winners of horse racec bundreds of years ago took curious forms. The earliest was the "briglia d'or," or golden bridle. After this the prize in England was a bell. Thi idea was taken from the custom among owners of pack horses of dec orating the best horse, which led the cavalcade, with a bell, so that on dark nights and in dangerous places the whereabouts of the leader might be known and the others follow boldly. At Carlisle silver bells were raced for by the moss troopers and dalesmen, and specimens of these bells are still retained in the town ball.-St. James Gazette. Card. Playing. Card playing began in India In the ninth century. It was introduced into Europe by orientals some time prior to the thirteenth century. Saracens popularized the amusement in Spain and Italy.
