N., now commanding the Asiatic squadron, when first lieutenant of one of the smaller vessels, several years ago, was taking her,' with some difficulty, into a small harbor on the New England coast. A typical old down East lobsterman, in ) a leaky old dory piled high with traps, i . managed to interfere with the ship's progress, whereat Lieut. Stirling leaned over the side and gave him the benefit of some j choice deep-sea language. "And who be you ? " inquired the lobsterman, leisurely resting on his oars. "Who am I?" blustered the lieutenant. "I'm the first officer on this ship!" "Well, go get your skipper, then," re-\ plied the ancient mariner, with dignity, j "I don't argue with nobody but my equals, I an' I'm cap'n o' this." How He Used the Whiskey. An Irish butler, newly engaged, requested his master to allow him some whiskey. "There's nothing like it to clean the windows," said he. However, a few minutes later his master chanced to pass through the room and, to his surprise, found the glass empty. "Why, Barney," he asked,"where'sthe whiskey?" "Well, you see sir," said Barney, not in the least put out, "it's this way, I drink the whiskey, and then I breathe on the glass."

Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so long, you feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T.

I Come Where Where the PI ANK E He Pitied the Jew. Reading in the Boston Herald of Dec. 19th the reply of a Boston Jewish rabbi to the attack of a Protestant clergyman calls to our mind a rather amusing incident which occurred when we were in the practice of law. An old Baptist deacon in Ludlow, Vermont, had heard his pasted preach so often and so powerfully against the Jews that when he died and his will was opened it was found that he had given a legacy of five hundred dollars to the poor Jews. The executor of the will wrote to me to find the poor Jews. I employed a man to make diligent search, and finally was obliged to report to him that we could not find a poor Jew in Boston; the money was sent, I understood, to some society in New York. Another rather amusing incident comes to mind, of how a clergyman, being installed in one of our country churches, was advised by one of the deacons that he had better not pitch into certain things which might injure his influence in the church. He finally asked the deacon what he should pitch into, and the deacon, on reflection, said that he could safely pitch into the Jews, for there wasn't a Jew in town. And this calls up another anecdote to my mind, of how the last time, I think, that I met Dwight L. Moody, the evangt-1 list, was on an East Boston ferryboat. I remarked to him that a certain clergyman seemed to be pitching into him pretty sevei e'.y because he had contributed something to'aid the Catholics to buy an organ for their little church in Northfield. j Mr. Moody's reply was: "Oh, he's crazy ! ?he's crazy! When we have converted I all the Protestants we will convert the Catholics, but it will take three or four j days more to convert the Protestants." I In regard to the Jews, I remember it was ascertained from statistics taken wide j ly over Europe some twenty-five or thirty j years ago, that Jews lived, on the average, j something like five years longer than Christians; and that only one Jew had, been bung in England during forty years,' and then only for forgery. It was some forty-five years ago that we could not find a poor Jew in Boston.?Geo. T. Angel in Our Dumb Animals. ; Dispensary Sales for April.

A Clergyman of Precise Words. The Kansas City Star tells of a Kansas clergyman who prided himself on his Erecise and scrupulous use of words. One unday this good man was praying for elevating grace and renewed working force. "0 Lord," he pleaded, "waken Thy cause in the heart6 of this congregation and give them new eyes to see and impulse to do. Send down thy lev-er or lee ver according to Webster's or Worcester's dictionary, whichever you use, and pry them into'activity." Boer Colony In Georgia.

Elder Edgecomb was for many years j tiio U.oo 'Rontict rhnrrh in I ptVOtUA Ui tug A 1 ?V VMMAWM Vienna, Maine, in which town lived a simple minded man, named Perry Wood. One hot Sunday in the summer the parson had occasion to admonish some of his hearers for going to sleep during the service. The next Sunday while the minister was in the midst of his sermon, he heard something whizz across the room and | strike the wall. He continued his sermon but kept one suspicious eye on the congregation. Soon he saw the simple minded Perry, who was sitting in the stove room in the rear of the church, rise, take an apple from his pocket and bring his arm back preparatory for a throw at the head of a sleeping deacon. "Perry Wood," exclaimed the irate parson, "you put that apple up, and if you ever throw another one in this church I'll-." "You, hold right on, elder," broke in the excited' Perry, "you tend to your preaching and I'll keep them awake." CLEARED FOR ACTION.

Dr. Loeto Bxplsina Method of Pertillxlsg 8ea Urchin Egg*. "Dr. Jacques Loeb, head of the physiological department of the University of California, recently published a second communication of his recent disI covery of "an improved method of ari tificial parthenogenesis." In his bulleI tin he gives many technical details of method of treating unfertilised eggs of [ the sea urchin with hypertonic sea water and sea water to which a small quantity of ethyiacetate had been added. I In summing up be declares be has now come wonderfully close to simulating by laboratory manipulation all vital processes of fertilisation by natural agencies. He says in conclusion: "If we treat unfertilised eggs with add alone every egg forms membrane ! which disintegrates in less than twenty-four hours. The eggs which are treated only with hypertonic sea water for two hours form no membrane and do not disintegrate. This Indicates more than merely quantitative difference in effects of the two agencies. The combination of both methods leads to a process of development which to all appearances Is Identical with effects of entrance of spermatozoon." Odd Fancies In Footwear.
