day. Why can’t we have an all-day
currency, both for lights and power?

Gold Headed Cane Presented to Sup
erintendent Tarbutton by Metho
dist Sunday School.
Tlie officers and teachers of the
Methodist Sunday School last Sunday
afternoon gave to their retiring Super-
intendant, Mr. B. J. Tarbutton. a beau
tiful expression of their regard in the
following resolutions and presentation
of a gold headed can*. handsomely
carved and engraved. Mr. Tarbutton,
not anticipating tlie design of his
friends, had retired from the Sunday
School room. Prof Goodwin made the
presentation in his pleasing style, and
in a few choice words voiced senti
ments or appreciation and esteem in
which he is held by his many friends
of our town. In the absence of Mr.
Tarbutton Mrs. Tarbutton gracefully
responded.
The resolutions follow;
Recognizing for^years tlie faithful
and ellicieut services of our beloved
superintendent, Brother B. J. Tarhut-
toii, and since in the Providence of
God, he will no longer serve in this
capacity, we ask the privilege of sub
mitt.ing the following resolutions:
1st. That we have seen with pleas
ure and profit that lie lias ever stood
on the side of right- whenever and
wherever battle has been made be
tween right and wrong in public affairs,
for which, as a school, we heartily
commend and pray God’s blessings up
on him.
2nd. That he has been a source of
encouragement, strength and inspira
tion to the teachers who have labored
with him; a kind and gentle under
Shepherd to the little ones who have
found shelter in this Sunday School
fold, and that his uniform interest in
each department of the school, his
ready and generous response to every
suggestion and request is noteworthy
ann admirable.
3rd. That as a Sunday Schflol we ex
tend to him our affectionate regard, u
sincere appreciation of bis loving in
terest in our children and young peo
ple. and pray that lie will continue al
ways to labor with us even though not
in an official eapneity.
4th. That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the school as a
slight memorial of the love and esteem
ih which lie is held, and published in
oar oity papers.”

ted Sunday evening. December 13th,

An Old Hunter’* Illustration of th«
Gift of “Hands."
Tour hrart and your head keep u;>.
Your hands anti your knees keep down,
Your knees keep close to your horse’#
sides
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit of advice for the would
be horseman is quoted fi.v a writer iu
Bully’s Magazine iti.d declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
■uhject of what he calls “Ihe divine
gift of hands'* In riding. This old
hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces of twine to the back of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on Its
fore or bind legs, according to Ills own
position.
Then when balanced be would keep
It, so to speak, on the swing by gently
manipulating the twine or reins be
held In Ids hand. A rough pull would,
nf course, have upset the chair one
way, whereas the fact of not checkiug
It In Its movements at all would have
caused a total loss of control over it
In the opposite direction.
“And that," when the exhibition was
concluded he would add, “is hands,
gentlemen."
Jogging to the covert, continues the
w riter, you may notice one line horse,
the owner fully equipped, throwing Its
head tip and down like a pump handle,
another sweating profusely, although
the pace has not exceeded five miles
an hour since It left the stable, and h
third snorting and prancing about all
over the place.
Why Is this so? Simply because the
rider of neither of them is possessed
with the divine gift of “hands."
THE BEE’S STING.
An Ugly Weapon Something Like a
Three Bladcd Sword.
The bee’s sting Is made up of three
separate lances, each with a barbed
edge and enrh enpuble of being thrust
forwnrd Independently of the others.
The central and broader lance lias a
hollow fare furnished Ht each side
with n rail or beading, which runs Its
whole length. On the back of each of
the other two lances there Is a longi
tudinal groove, and Into these grooves
fit the rnlsed bendings of the central
lancet.
Thus the sting Is like n sword with
three blades—united, but sliding upon
one another—the barbed points of
which continue to advance alternately
Into the wound, going ever deeper and
deeper of their own malice afore
thought after the Initial thrust la
made. It Is n device of war com
pared to which the explosive bullet Is
but a clumsy brutality. Yet this Is not
all.
To make Its death dealing powers
doubly sure this thorough minded ama
zon must fill the haft of her triple
blade with a subtle poison and so con
trive Its sliding mechanism that the
same impulse which drives the points
successively forward dreuches the
whole weapon with a fatal Juice.—

The Weather House.
A very Ingenious contrivance for
foretelling the weather Is the old fash
ioned “weather house," largely made
In Switzerland. It Is arranged In such
n way that two figures act In response
to the twisting of a piece of catgut.
The material, supported by a wire, con
trols the movements of a little plat
form on either end of which Is plneed
a model. Excessive moisture In the air
causes the catgut to twist and turn the
platform round, so that the man
emerges from one of tlie doors In the
front of the house. Reverse conditions
of the atmosphere bring about the con
traction of the catgut, and the plat
form swings back, thus bringing the
figure of the woman Into prominence
at her particular door. The making of
a weather house is quite an easy mat
ter.
“Spoken English Very Good."
From au advertisement of a Dunlsh
hotel: “The hotels eliurmingly situa
tion, surrounded of a nice garden the
good cuisine, the kindly accommoda
tion with moderate eburge and good
conveyances, with easy occasion for
sulmon and trout fishing, the ascend
ing of the surrounding mountains has
done this place well-known and praised
of all travellers. N. B.—The landlord

A Riot of Color.
From the land of the Moros a soldier
writes: “A Moro matron passed our
quarters this morning wearing a helio

large heart designs worked In yellow,
blue and pink embroidery, a red and
black sarong, yellow plush slippers
and yellow silk mantilla. The lady’s
maid (old). In modest garb, walked be
hind, currying a magenta parasol.”
Hobson’s Choice.
“There is un egg for breakfast,” re
marked a landludy to her lodger.
“Which do you prefer?”
“Prefer?” repeated the latter.
“Where’s the preference when you
only offer an egg?”
“Why, you can have an egg or—
nothing!’ was the sharp reply.—Lon
