ine icev. miuoii Turple was an elo
quent speaker, but lie seemed to have
a list of sermons wliich, when tie once
began, he went right through to the
end and then started at the tlrst ser
mon again, and so on.
A young man In the congregation
was about to leave -for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed he
atteuded the church service.
Iu the course of his lecture the min
uter used au Illustration lu which were
the words, "A mau can easily purchase
two s [Mir rows for threepence."
The young tuan, after being abseut
for al>ont three years, returned and
again on the tlrst op|K>rtunlty attended
divine service. Strange to say, he
heard the same nanatlte by the samo
minister, the phrase striking hlin most
being about the "two sparrows for
threepence."
At the clo*e of the serrlee the min
ister, In his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth and. welcoming
hlin back to his home, asked him if
he noticed any changes about the
place.
The youug man, evidently quite un
coucerned. replied, "Aye. man, there's
two or three changes, but there's yln
thing I can see? the price o' sparro.va
Is aye at the same auld flgger."? Glas

ALPHABET OF
PLAYHOUSES
"We Keep teaming things all the
time," said an lufrequeut theater goer.
"1 stopped in front of a theater the
other day to buy a ticket of a specu
lator, and 1 asked him If he had a good
single near the front.
"'Here's one In (>,' he said, 'thir
teenth row, third siit from the aisle."
"Now, you know. 1 don't carry tho
relative positions of the letters of the
alphabet In my uilnd all the time. I
have to work for a living and have
otlier things to thiuk of. Hut It struck
me that O must be farther down the
line than thirteen, and so 1 Just count
ed up the letters on my tlnger tips, and
I made O coiue tiftecuth, and 1 said so
to the ticket man, but that didn't wor
ry him any.
" 'There's no A lu this theater, ' he
said, 'and there's no I lu any orches
tra iu town.'
"Aud. having my tlnger tip figuring
thus handily- knocked out, 1 bought the
ticket."? Washington Post.
i nave uover quite made out," soys
a writer In "Near East." "why the
plalu of SUvultsa has come trt bo re
garded as the soeue of one of the great
decisive battles of the world's his
tory. It did not oven decide the Servo
Bulgarian war In 1885. That was de
cided by Austria Intervention. The
battle of Sllvnltsa Is really only re
markable for the comical fact that
both sides thought they were defeated,
and while Milan of Servta was hurry
ing home In confusion Alexander of
Bulgarlu galloped all the wuy back to
his capital before he learned that the
tide had turned. Nowadays tho vil
lage looks sleepy enough, poor and
dirty, like most Bulgarian villages, but

Its red roofs."
SHELTER FOR
LIVE STOCK
Kvery live stof-k farmer should pro
vide comfortable quarters for h(s
stock before ColiS weather sets In, say!t
Farmers Advocate. Good quarters
where live stock can keep dry through
the winter storms are necessary. Good
shelter saves feed. and feed necessarily
?aves money. Comfortable quarters
should not only be provided for the
winter months. It Is Just as necessary
for cattle and other live stock to have
a cool place for summer as a warm
place for winter. The proper bousing
of live stock Is a matter which should
recelvo the attention of every farmer.
It is not extravagant to Invest money
In these things; neither is it necessary
that the buildings should be of costly
material. When animals arc kept un
der conditions favorable to them the
t>est results are obtainable.

j Mrs. Zell* Nuttall, the archaeologist,
was making some excavations In Mex
ico. The Indians were removing the
earth some distance from the point of
excavation In the customary manner?
that Is, on a piece of coarse cloth tied
between two poles, stretcher fashion,
carried by two Indians. This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall. so she ordered several Iron wheel
barrows from the city. When they
arrived she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for anil how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their primi
tive parlhnelas and were using the
bright new wheelbarrows. As each
barrow was filled with earth It was
picked up by two Indians, one using
the handles and the other the wheel,
and carried to the place where the
earth was to be deposited. All efforts
to get the Indians to use the wheel
barrows properly failed, and they kept
on carrying them until the work was
finished.
WHEN THE SUN
Dr. KriUjof Nansen predicts the fate
of the earth In the far distant future,
when the sun grows cold. The sim
ple, low organisms, he says, will prob
ably live longest, until even they dis
appear. Finally, he says, all water on
the earth's surface will freeze and the
oceans will In? transformed Into Ice to
the bottom. Some time later the car
bonic acid of the atmosphere will be
gin to fall on the surface of the earth
In the form of snow. Some time after
that the temperature on the surfacc
will have reached about 330 degrees
below 7.cro F. New oceans will then
be formed by the atmosphere being
turned Into liquid, and the atmosphere
of that future earth will be only hy
drogen and helium. Tbe nun will go
through the same process. It will con
tinue In Its way as a dark star through
space, accompanied by the planets.
xne wagous of "the greatest ?bow
ou earth" passed up tbe avenue at
daybreak. Their Incessant rumble
soon awakened ten-year-old Blllle and
his flve-year-old brother Robert. Their
mother feigned sleep as the two white
robed figures crept past her bed Into tbe
hall on the wry to Investigate. Robert
struggled manfully with the unaccus
tomed task of putting on his clothes.
??Walt for me, Blllle," his mother beard
him beg. "You'll get ahead of me."
"Get mother to help you," counseled
Blllle, who was having troubles of hi*
own.
Mother started to the rescue and
then paused as she beard tbe voice of
her younger, guarded, but anxious and
Insistent:
"You ask her. Billle. You've known
her longer than I have."? Everyhodv'*.
