The ladies went home'nearly mad, told ,heir husbands about it and voted old Elunt a regular humbug. le announced io would lecture at the same place the iext night. Long before the time ap pointed the people began to arrive, and when Hunt hobbled down the aisle the building was completely filled with men. rhe old follow looked about, chuckled nd said in a low voice, "Hogs, I've got you now I" The audience stared. "Aha, hogs, I've got you nowl" ho re peated. After the crowd had got quiet a little the lecturer said: "Friends, you wanted to know what I meant by saying, 'Hogg, I've got you now!' and I'll tell you. - Out west the hogs run wild, and when folks get out of meat they catch a young pig, put a strap under his body and hitch him to a young sapling that will just swing him from the ground nicely. Of course he squeals and raises a rumpus, when all the old hogs gather around to see what is the matter, and then they shoot them at their leisure. Last night I hung a pig up. I h1ur1t It a little, and it squealed. The old hogs have turned out tonight to see the fun, and I'll roast you." And so ho did, pitching into their favorite vice with much evident relish and gusto.-Anerican Homo Life. Tahnsgo Was Thankful. The following is told by Boniface De Witt of tho Riggs House: "Dr. Talmage was preaching at Belle ville, N. J., somo years ago, and .one wetek he made up his mind to go'into the pulpit the next Sunday without notes or nmoranda of what he was going to say. IIe minorized his sermon and believed e h:id it completely at lis tongue's end. SO Sada night ho went to the church preuy well fortified with confidence. "in ihM o days in that section of Jer scy churchos and hotels and many pri Vite resideuces were equinped with pri vato gas machines, and the church where Talmage, was to hold forth had one too. W hen lie got into the pulpit after con ducting the preliminary services all right, ho gave out his text. Then he was horrified to find that he couldn't think of a thing to say. le repeated the text a seconi- time, and yet his ideas failed to comC. l10 was In agony and began ulowly and impressively to announce his text a third time. As ho reached the last word and the perspiration of dread and Eh:i1n0 wao lhgimnning to start, the gas went <.ut iad p!unged the place into utter darknss. There w-a- no other means for lighting the edifice, and when it was announced that tho gas machine hadl broken do'wn hopelessly Dr. Tal mage p~ronounced the benediction, and I have heard him say that ho never did so before or since with greater fervor or thankfulness of spirit. "-Washington Post. ___________ Certin Anatolois. Molting has its analogy throughout the animal kingdom. We indeed molt invisibly, arc continuously shedding our scales, but there are somec animals that get throu gh this process even more quick ly thant do birds-as, for instance, tho shedding of the skin as a whole by the newt, eft and snake. Sir James Paget has noted that some people have a few extra long hairs grow ing out from the general mass of the eyebrows. The few long hairs are repre sentativeos of a permanent condition in the chimpanzee and some baboons. They grow out separately from the general hairy miass over the superciliary ridges. Darwin notes as a significant fact that the'palma of the hands and the soles of the feet of man are quite naked of hairs, like the inferior surfaces of all four ex tremities in most of the lower animals. Something abont the ear: The lobule of the ear is peOculiar to man. There ls, howvever, a rudiment of it in the gorilla. Happy gorilla-and man! About the brain of man and apes: The whole comparison is one of degree, and in the case of thme bushman's brain with that of a well developed ape the corn parison becemois nearly equal. In truth, there are no specific distinctions betweerm the brain of the ape and that of man. Gentleman's Magazine. Persevering.

Chicago Times. flear noth Side.. Never condemn your neighbor un heard, however many the accusations which may be preferred against him. Every story has two ways of being told, and justice requires that you should hear the defense as wvell as the accusation, and remember that the malignity of enemies may place you in a similar predicament. --New York Ledger.
