THE ENDEAVOR PLEDGE.
There Is Mo Kxcuse a Christian Ciia GIts
Far Mot Keeping It.
From tho boginning of tho Christian
Eudeavor movement hoiuoojio has want
ed to try his hand nt tinkering tho
plodge. "Tho plodgn in too strong," or
"Tho plodgo couldn't be livnd tip to,"
or "Something must bo changed to
adapt it to tho peculiarities of our noci
ety. " It U amazing how ninny "pecul
iar" societies thorn nro in thn world.
Tliero are not to ninny of those pledge
tinkers nn there nsed to bo, but wo hoar
of them every now and then, evon In
those days. Now thoro is not much ob
jection to altering the phriiNOology, jf
the meaning Is not changed or the
stronnonsnoss of the plodge Is not weak
ened, but thin is the very thing thnt
most pledge tinkers donire to da
Now I should like towhinpor In their
ears thnt the revised Christian Endeavor
pledge was propnred very carefully and
prayerfully. Days of time wore spent in
weighing eitnh word, so that every one
might be the right word in the right
place. The strength of every phrase was
considered and special pains was taken
not to have a single letter or syllable in
the pledge which the youngest and
weakest active member oonld not keep.
Twioe, in the heart of the pledge, at
the risk of tautology, and perhaps to
the detriment of the queen's English,
the phrase is substantially repeated,
"Unless prevented by a reason which I
can connoientionsly give to the Lord
Jesus Christ. " Thnt is the only excuse
Which the Christian ever ought to be
willing to give for the nonperformance
of any known duty. This la twioe ad'
mitted and insisted on in the heart of
the pledge, and it fully excuses any con
aoientious Christian, if he baa any ex
ouse worth giving. A Christian Eu
deavor society that fully understands
what the pledge means in ninety-nine
eases out of hundred will vote
against altering it What is needed is a
careful atudy of the pledge. Have a
meeting to explain it and talk about it
and to nderstand it thorough reason'
bleneas.

A good story is told of an English
family living in Norfolk county who
possessed the euphonious name of
"Bug." A that term la England It
never mentioned in polite society and
signifies a minute insect noted for its
power of jumping, the family of that
name did not appreciate its uniqueness.
Upon ooming into possession of some
money, they at onoe petitioned to have
it changed to "Howard." Tholr request
was granted; but, alas for them, the
bugs of that portion ct the oountry were
henceforth known by the more refined
title of the "Norfolk Howards."

Duchess and Fishwife,
An old fishwife, ono of tho order that
was moro frequently seen it dozen years
ago than todny, mid who runs about
barelegged Iu a very brief tartan petti
coat, with a creel of fish upon her shoul
dors, had been often promised by on ally
in the servants' hall that she should
some timo sue the young duchess iu her
own homo. Bho was therefore posted
ono day in a diNtnnt corner of tho ball,
from which sho looked out in obvious
discontent us tho lady and hor guests
filed in to dinner. When tho dining
room door had closed behind them, sho
was asked what she thought of the
duchess.
"The duchess I" sho repented in tho
shrill tones of snpreme disdain. "Dlnnn
yo try for to mnko mo believe my aln
teddy was tliero. I saw a niuoklo braw
wives tricked out in shining stones and
feathers, ouch with her mou by her side,
but my bonuie duchess wasna' wi' them.
Na, nu, dinna ye try for to inuk me be
liovo that."
It then transpired that she was look
ing out for a tall, willowy form, clad
in simple homespun, with a sailor hat
poisod lightly on a dainty head, such as
she saw when sho trudged to the rear of
the oastlo with hor creel, and that she
would not have the tiara and satin train

Trick In Msklos; Chance.
A curious incident occurred in a Paris
restaurant the other day. A high official,
happening to be in the Moutmartre dis
trict about dinner time, walked into a
restaurant frequented much by foreign
ers, and took his dinner there, bis bill
amounting to 8 franca. When calling
the waiter to pay for his meal, he band
ed him a SO frono goldpiece, which the
waiter put into his mouth, as is the cus
tom of the Paris waiters. Making
change, he only gave him S francs. The
gentleman looked up and said: "Beg
yonr pardon, I want 13 francs and not
9 francs. " "Exouse me, sir, " said the
waiter. "Ton gave me a 10 frauo pieoe.
Bee?" And therewith he took from be
tween his lips a smaller gold coin,
showing it to the gentleman. The offi
cial, considerably wrought np for being
taken for a fool, without any warning
gave the waiter such a slap in the face
that the 80 frano pieoe given him fell
out of his mouth and rolled across the
room. The gentleman got his change,
and purposely forgot to tip the waiter,
who had received quite a setback by the
"striking" argument of the guest
Paris Letter.
rinding Verdict.
A Texas paper snys that in one of the
earliest trials before a colored jury in
Texas the 1 9 gentlemen were told by
the judge to "retire and find the ver
dict." They went into the jury room,
wheuoe the opening and shutting of
doors and other sounds of unusual com
motion were, presently beard. At lost
the jury came back into court, when the
foreman announced i "We bab looked

The Only Tenoinons Illrd.
Among all thn thousands of fenthnred
creatures classified by tlio trained or
nithologist, hut one, tho rpir n'doob,
or "bird of death," is known to bo ven
omous. This queer and deadly speclos
of tho winged and feathered tribe is a
liativo of tho island of Papua, or Now
Guinea. .Tho bird is described as being
about tho size of a common tame pigeon,
of gray plumage, uud a tuil of extraor
dinary length, ending in a tip of bril
liant scarlet red. It is a marsh bird and
is found to inhabit only the immense
taguunt pools adjoining the lakes of
tho interior of tho island. The rpir has
a hooked beak, as sharp as a cock's spur
and hollow. The venom with which he
inoculatos is distilled in a sot of organs
which nature has provided for that pur
pose and which lie in the upper mundi-
ble, just below the openings of the nos
trils. Under this poison secreting labora
tory in the roof of the month is a small,
fleshy knob. When the bird sets its beak
in the flesh of a victim, this knob re
ceives a pressure which liberates the
venom and inoculates the wound. No
man, native or othorwiso, was ever
known to recover from a bite inflicted
by a rpir n'doob. The sufforing in suob
oases is said to be much more agonizing
than in cases of rattlesnake and Gila
monster bites. St Louis Republic
