Simon Turpie was an elo quent speaker, but lie seemed to have a list of sermons which, when he once • began, he went right through to the end and then started at the tirst ser- | IUOU again, and .so on. A young man In t lie congregation was about to leave for South Africa, liut the Sunday before he departed he attended the church Bcrvice. In the course of his lecture the win- 1 ister used an illustration in which were > the words, "A man can easily purchase I two sparrows for threepence." The young mau, after being absent j for about three years, returned and ! again on the tirst. opportunity attended j divine service. Strange to say, lie : heard tli" same narrative by the same minister, the phrase striking him most being about the "two sparrows for threepence." At tlie close of the service the min ister. in his courtesy, came and shook hands with the youth and, welcoming him back to Ids home, asked him if .j lie noticed any changes about the place. The young man, evidently quite un concerned, replied, "Aye, man, there's two or three changes, but there's yin thing I can see—the price o' sparrows Is aye at the same auld fisger."—Glas gow News. New Use For Wheelbarrow*. Mrs. Zeiia 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— j 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 I arrived she turned them over to tlie foreman after explaining to him what they were for and how to use them. Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their primi tive parihuelas am) were using the ; bright new wheelbarrows. As each ! barrow was tilled with earth it was picked up by two Indians, one using ' the handles and the other the wheel, j and carried to tlie place where the 1 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 . j finished. Alphabet of the Playhouse. "We keep learning things all the . time," said an infrequent theater goer. 1"I stopped in front of a theater the 1 other day to buy a ticket of a specu lator, and I asked him If he had a good j ; single near the front. "'Here's one in O,' he said, 'thlr : teenth row, third seat from the aisle.' "Now, you know,l don't carry the relative uositions of the letters of the alphabet in my miud all the time, i have to work for a living and have other things to think of. Hut it struck j , me that O must be farther down the : line than thirteen, and so I just count- ! ed up the letters on my linger tips, and I made O come fifteenth, and 1 said so to the ticket mau, but that didn't wor- I ry him any. "'There's no A in this theater,' lie i said, 'and there's no I in any orches tra in town.' "And, having my linger tip figuring thus handily knocked out, I bought the ticket." Washington Post. The Surprise of Slivnitsa. "I have never quite made out," says j a writer in "Near East," "why the plain of Slivnitsa has come to be re garded as the scene of one of the great decisive battles of the world's his tory. It did not even decide the Servo- Bulgarian war in 1885. That was de : cided by Austria Intervention. The battle of Slivnitsa is really only re j markable for the comical fact that both sides thought they were defeated, ! and while Milan of Servla was hurry ing home in confusion Alexander of Bulgaria galloped all the way back to ; I his capital before he learned that the j tide had turned. Nowadays the vil lage looks sleepy enough, poor and j dirty, like most Bulgarian villages, but j almost gay when the sun shines upon j Its red roofs." Harsh Music. The politician caught with the goods was counseled by his friends to stay and face the music. For an Instant he listened to the clamor of denunciation.
