JOURNAL" HOMES, GA,, WON HIS WAY WITH FISTS Australian "Fighting Parson” Correct ly Gauged Men to Whom He Desired to Mlnictrr. The novel spectacle of preceding church service with boxing IkhUh was witnessed recently in Australia. The pugilistic parson wus the Kev. If. Linton of St. James, Wifcannia, N. S. W., and a correspondent gives the following account of Iho en counter: “Mr. Linton struck a (shearing) shed in full swing, nnd being anx ious to get into close touch with the men made inquiries as to the pros pects of holding a service. An old hand who was consulted gave it as his opinion, if he made the attempt he would probably meet with a mixed reception. However, nothing daunted, he Boon made his plan of campaign, and lost no time in put ting it into execution. “He put in an appearance at the mess one evening, and after u few fraternal remarks introduced a set of boxing gloves. This was a bold frontal attack, and risky. The shed champion was thunderstruck. He from the start of shearing freely bad offered to fight run or jump with any man in the crowd, with no re sult, and here was a simple parson storming his stronghold. Prelimi naries were soon settled and a willing go was entered upon, which soon left the one-time champion deeply thinking. “After several other bouts the first part of the entertainment closed and the more serious one was entered upon— a religious service. All hands, full of admiration for the parson, rolled up and a hearty exercise was the result, the first ever held there. We would not he surprised if he were elected chaplain to the West Dar ling shearers.” SUMMER GIRL ~*v * k* W Ul i * - Mary Jane —Ah! Them’s my ini tials, but I can’t recall now who on earth *'B.

The leaves are much like those of a buttonwood, but very much larger. The most marked pe culiarity of the tree is its blossoms, from which it has been named the “hand tret'.” The flower is an inch and a half in diameter, with short russet sepals nnd long reddish-lined petals. The fat scarlet pistils pro truded an inch beyond. They are so joined to resemble a hand, with fin gernails like the claws of a Chinese grandee. The resemblance to a hand is striking. SACRIFICED.

TAUGHT HIM NEEDED LESSON Value of Perseverance Impressed on Spanish Boy In Manner That Made Right Impression. Thom is a medieval legend of a Bpanish boy who was dull at school and who was so much discouraged by the severity of his teachers that lie ran away from home. After he had wandered a long way he was tired and sat down to rest on the margin of a well. As he sat there his eve fell upon the stone well curb and he began to wonder how it hap pened that there was a deep groove across the stone. He asked an ex planation of a girl who came to draw water, and was amazed to learn that the groove had not been out in the stone by nun, but had been worn there by the constant rubbing of the rope which held the water bucket. The little circumstance sank deep into his mind. He argued that if a soft rope by daily use could force its way through a hard stone, then there was nothing that could not tie accomplished by perseverance, and he learned his first lesson in the meaning and value of mental disci pline. He returned to his father’s house and to the school from which lie had fled, and proved the same truth in his own case, for he not only passed through the school with credit, hut became a great teacher and preacher. Sorae of us are quicker than oth ers, hut not always is mere quickness a sign of superiority. Slow, plodding perseverance will often outdo quick ness that is easily discoruaged.

A philanthropic doctor in a min ing town gave new thermometers to a number of families, with the ur gent advice to keep their houses at a proper temperature. When lie was making his rounds one day he saw one of the thermometers hanging up. He asked the woman of the house if she remembered his instructions. “Indeed, sir, I do!” was the response. “I hang the thing up there, and I watch it carefully to see it docs not get too high.” “Hood!” exclaimed the doctor. “And what, do you do when the temperature rises above 70 degnv-?” “Why, sir,” answered the woman, with the air of one faith ful to a trust, “when it gets too high I take it down and put it outside until it cools!’’ THOSE USELESS QUESTIONS “What are the passengers looking out of the window for?” asked a nervous lady passenger on the train ns the conductor came through. “We ran over a cat, madam,” said the conductor. “Was the cat on the track?” she nest asked. “Oh, no, ma'am,” assured the con ductor. "The locomotive chased her up an alley.” VERY MUCH SO. “I wonder if there will be an ice famine this season?” “Now wouldn’t that be a queer business to be a freeze-out?” A COMMON TROUBLE. “On what grounds did he base hia domestic discontent ?” “I fhink some of them were the coffee grounds.” FISHY. “"What is that fish story he is tell ing about T ANARUS! “From what I heard, it is about the limit.” PARADOXICAL PREDICAMENT. “This report says that Huerta is losing ground.” “Tliat’s odd when he seems to be completely at am.” FA IRBANKB-MORSE ENGINES It is useless for you to go to a city, pay your exptnses, atul a higher price, when you can pur chase what you want in the follow ing line right here in Maysvillc.

It was a great day when the Erie canal was opened tor traf fic on October 26. 182S. That v.as two years before the first railroad was built In this coun try, and the canal was the most stupendous public work that had yet been undertaken. The Idea was conceived by Gouveneur Morris In 1800. It was strenu ously advocated by a few promi nent men. and as vigorously bp posed by others. Work was not begun till July 4, 1817, at which time ground was broken at Rome, N. Y. In eight years It was completed, opening artifi cial communication for 428 miles an uninterrupted passage from Lake Erie to tidewater In the Hudson. The opening wee celebrated by "a telegraphic dis charge of cannon, commencing at Lake Erie, and continued along the banks of the canal a.d of the Hudson, announcing to the city of New York the en trance on the bosem of the canal of the firs* barge that was to ar rive at the commercial empor ium from the American Mediter ranean.” Governor Clinton and other noted public men were on this barge, and their voyage down the canal was a triumphal procession. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DU. T. 1. ALLEN Food Specialist FASTING AND OBESITY. “Would you advise fasting for one who Is about 40 pounds over weight?" That depends on the conditions in the case. An ab solute fast of mors than five days is seldom advisable with out competent supervision. In any case weight should be re duced gradually. Aa already ex plained, while fasting judicious ly Is beneficial under some cir cumstances. it is often perma nently harmful. It la less likely to be so when one Is over weight than In cases of under weight. Fasting can no more be applied Indiscriminately aa a cure-all, not even for obeeity, than can any other remedy. Obesity is a disease, and a sim ple diet, with proper exercise and natural living otherwise, will bring about normal condi tions. without the risks of any extreme measures. Look!
