Tho Rev. Dr. Reuon Thomas, of

his experience makes a report strong¬
ly in favor of written sermons. Ho
says; “I kavo tried to recall the scr
mons which held mo at that time and
which have stayed by mo since. To
my great astonishment, not one of
them was extemporaneous. With
one exception, I did not hear a single
extemporaneous sermon that was
scholarly, with much of intellectual
flavor about it, logically suggestive or
strikingly devout, I did not hear one
sermon in which the preacher used a
manuscript which had not about it a
delightful intellectual flavor, with
logical continuity of thought, devo¬

LARGEST OF TIIE CENTRAL
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
Something About the Country and Its
People—Its Diversified Com¬
mercial Interests and Its
Military Strength.
T I yilEItE republics are in five Central independent America
:
Honduras, Salvator, Cotta
Rica, popularly known for its
coffee-growing facilities, and Nicaragua
and Guatemala, the largest and most
northern of the group. Guatemala,
asserts the Detroit Free Press,has also
a population as large as that of the
other four combined. It is called
“the land of the Quetzal,” being
Darned from the bird which is repre¬
sented on the coat of arms as a Na¬
tional emblem. This bird is email,
but of superb plumage, with tail
feathers often three feet in length,
and of the most beautiful iridescent
colors, and in the days of courts worn
only by royalty. These birds fre¬
quent the dense forests of the moun¬
tains, and it requires a special expedi¬
tion to find them. Some valuable
specimens have been secured by tour¬
ists, but the birds will not live in cap¬
tivity. It is absolutely a bird of
freedom.
The republic of Guatemala was es¬
tablished March 21, 1847. For twen¬
ty-six years prior to that time it had
formed a part of the confederation of
Central America. It is governed un¬
der a constitution proclaimed in De¬
cember, 1879, and amended in 1885,
1887 and 1889. This instrument vests
the legislative power in a congress
composed of a National Assembly of

partly appointed by the President.
Tho Executive authority is vested in a
President, elected by a direct vote of
tho Nation, the term of office being
six years.
Tho country made material progress
in tho way of commercial prosperity
under the control of such public
spirited men ns its late ruler, Presi¬
dent Barillos, who advanced it a half
century. His successor, General Bar¬

with Mexico, a result which has

A Portland mau who has just ve
turned from a hunting trip in the
forests of Northern Maine vouches for
the entire truth of the following story,
as he had indirect from the Sheriff.
A man who lives in Mount Katahdin
region went into the office of a Justice
of the Peace a few days since and in
quired about the penalty for hunting
deer with dogs, aud very particularly
as to whether one-half the fine did not
go to the informer.
The Justice consulted the game law,
and assured him ’
that it did.
“Very well,” said the man, “I want
to complain of myself and settle.”
Tbe Justice could not back out, and
so gave the transgressor “a clean bill
of health” upon payment of one-half
of the penalty.
It seems that the man got wind of
the fact that the game warden had got
the “drop” on him on his deer poach
itlgs with the dogs, and was only wait
ing an opportunity to arrest him,
Hence his shrewd bit of diplomacy,
—Eastern Argus.
Samples an Expensive Item.
“We cut up $95 worth of goods for
samples yesterday in one department
alone,” said a salesman in a retail
store, and the man at the silk counter
added: “Our expenditure for samples
was greater than that. If I had all the
money that has been put into samples
of silk by this store for the last ten
years I should be a rich man. " The
carpet and curtain dealers have a like
story to tell. The waste is enormous
in retail samples, and there is in all
considerable stores an annual sale of
the larger samples, of course at a sac
rifice. Wide-awake women bay them
for pillow and pincushion covers and
the like.—New York San.
A Sagacious Horse.
While at Champery, in Switzerland,
this last summer, I saw a curious in
cident. A shepherd was with his
flock of sheep some way up the moun
tain-side. Instead of a sheep deg he
had a horse which acted in that ca
pacity. The shepherd spoke to the
horse, who at once galloped off and
brought in the stray sheep. He then
returned to his master for further
orders, which he carried out in most
exemplarv fashion.—London Soecta

Five-Fingered Japanese Oranges,
The five-flugered orange of Japan is
a queer thing. It 'grows exactly iu
shape of a human hand, with a thumb
and four fingers. It is a half-open
hand, that of this curious fruit, and
the close resemblance to a lean, long
nailed Chinese hand, is startling.
Even the nails are identical, hard
pointed, and claw-like, tipping tho
orange fingers with a length equal in
some cases to three inches. It is no

difficult to find two consecutive inches

tion is the same. Even the branches
grow in epiral forms, so that the
width of the tree is often as great as
the height, There is a generous sup
ply of thorns hidden uuder the leaves,
and they are thorns that mean bust
ness. long, They are slender, tough, and
and are located in all sorts of
unexpected places. The leaves are
fleshy, long, and narrow and of a dark
green color. They resemble a lemon
leaf more than an orange leaf. The
flowers come out in June and July,
and are very similar in appearance
and odor to the ordinary orange bios

THE FIVE-FINGERED ORANGE.
The fruit itself is of a lio-ht vellow
greenish color, a pure lemon hueT ’ growing
toward the stem. The size
is immense, considered relatively to
other oranges or to the size of "the
tree, the largest ones measuring when
mature fully ten inches from the
wrist to the point of the middle tin®
er, including the nail. It is always
necessary to furnish a support in the
way of props and strings to sustain
the growing fruit, or the limb will be
broken by the weight. The fruit is
not edible—none of the osage variety
is—but what it lacks in being unable
to txckel the palate it more than makes
good in perfume. The strangest thing
connected with the perfume is that it
is the fruit and not the flower that is
most odorous. The frnit when ripe is
so redolent that its scent can be recog
mzed a full mile from where the or
ange is growing.—San

A MODEL COTTAGE FOR $550.
Plans for (he Erection of a Cheap
and Pretty Suburban Dwelling.
It is one of the primary principles
of political economy that the happi
ness and prosperity of a country is
gauged by the general thrift of the
inhabitants, and not by the abundance
of the few. That would be the model
commuity in which each head of the
family owned, in the derisive words
of the British statesman, “An acre
and a cow,” eveu if not a single indi¬
vidual had much greater possessions
than that.
“Landlordism” is responsible for
touch of the misery which exists in
cities. Happily there is a growing
disposition in this country for wage
earners to become householders. It
is not difficult for the laboring man
au l the small artisau to render them¬
selves independent of landlords. The
suburbs of our cities have abundant
room for growth, and the land is not
all in the possession of a few families.
Every day it is proven possible for a
mau with shrewd management, pru¬
dence and a little Eelf denial to build
and own a house for himself, with
scarcely more of a weekly outlay than
he was called upon to expend in rent.
A dollar’or two more a month for a few
years is not difficult to manage, when

it means in the end such a neat and
attractive homo as is pictured here¬
with, instead of a mere memory of
shelter and fat profits iu the pocket of
a landlord.
This little cottage, which is capable
of various modifications to suit indi¬
vidual tastes, can be built, according
to the most careful and reliable esti¬
mates, for $550. Its width, including
bay, is 27 feet; depth, including ver¬
anda, 27 feet; height of first story,
8 feet 6 inches ; second story, 8 feet.

Lost Blood Replaced With Salt Water.
Dr. Wyeth, speaking at the meeting
of the New York State Association of
Railway Surgeons, strougly recom¬
mended the injection into the circula¬
tion through a vein of hot evit solu¬
tion to take the place, in part of tho
volume of blood which has been lyst
as u result of accident. As reported
by the Railway Age, ho spoke as foil
lows: “The solution which I have em¬
ployed, running iu as much as five:
pints iu a single operation, is com¬
posed of clear water, which has been *
boiled and allowed to cool to 110 or
120 Fahrenheit, or just as hot as the*
hand can bear to every pint of which,
a teaspoonful oE common salt is added.
I have seen the pulse from 140, in
cases of tremendoushemorrage steadily
down to seventy to tho minute within j
two minutes of the injection of e pint/
of this solution. While it may bo usedl f
cooler than 110 degrees Fahrenheit,,!
and in some emergencies this may bei
necessary, it is safer to give it as hot
as 110 to 120 degrees, because the cold
solution robs the body of its heat,
while the hot solution carries heat
with it, and thus adds to the mainten¬
ance of the normal temperature. Tho
apparatus is simple—a metal or glass,
pipette to go into the vein, a rubber
tube three or four feet long, and an*
irrigator bag or vessel.”
Recommended lor the Face.
“Morecomplexions liavo been ruined
by hard water than by late hours and
crowded rooms,” said an English doo
lor in a course of lectures on domes¬
tic and personal hygiene. Wrinkles
if superficial may bo removed by a.
gentle massage. Lasting lines, it
should be remembered, are made by
scowling and other frequent grimaces.
For greasy faces steaming and au
astringent lotion, and glycerine and
lemon juice for hands, are recomend
ed.—New York Post.
