which entrap tho masculine victim'who

goes on but denouncea himself in un-
measured terma for a .qualified idiot on
thofollQwiiig day when reason resumes
its seat' and the full force of his dimin-
ished pocketbookia felt...
Up at Clear Lake 'that center of
summer pleasure parties and Sabbath
Bohool associations in . Iowa the
churches became tired of these old
stereotyped plana of raising money
and a newBOheme was evolved from
the inner consciousness of eome bright
genius. The treasury of tbe Oongre-
gationalist Church became rather bare
and bo the young folks got together and
determined to till it even to overflow.
After a prolonged discussion it was
decided to bring about the desired end
by putting all the girls of the church
up at auction to be disposed of to the
highest bidder. The time came around
and every young man in or near Clear
Lake who had any money or could
possibly borrow any was promptly on
hand eager to bid to the fullest extent.
But there were some of the grils on
whom it would have been impossible
to obtain the bid of an old-fashioned
copper cent while there were others for
whom the love-sick swains would will-
ingly have bid their last dallar and in
the spirit of Artemua Ward the last
dollar of any of their relatives. So to
give all of tho boys an equal chance
the girls were wrapped up in sheets so
as to be completely unrecognizable.
Each young man was positive that be-
neath the snowy folds of the sheet he
could discern the outline of the girl on
whom he doted and when from fifteen
to twenty of the young fellows singled
out the particular sheeted object on
which to stake their fortunes excite-
ment ran high and money ran out of
pocket-books like water down a slant-
ing roof.
After all the fair ones were disposed
of the order was given to "haul up the
sheets" and then ensued an indescrib-
able scene of mingled happiness and
disappointment. Maidens who had
been purchased for a mere song owing
to a lack of bidders turned out to be
the best-looking girls in the town while
beings whose sylph-like appearance
under a sheet excited the greatest ad-
miration and drew hard-earned money
from unwilling pocket-books were
found to be most commonplace crea-
tures indeed. But all made the best
of it and the disappointed ones bore
themselves bravely. Altogether the
plan was a great success; and as long
as churches will raise money by lottery
schemes why not adopt this method?
It is as harmless and yet is productive
of as much good to the participants as
any gome of chance we know of. It
gives the homely girla and bashful boys
an equal chance with their respective
opposites besides resulting in a grand
financial success and we look for its
general adoption. To be sure it is
asking a good deal of modest womanly
refined girls. But then church socia-
bles are always doing that I Des

Duck Primer.
Forest aud Stream.
The Man from Town is out on the
Duck Pass. He stands on the point
and waits for Ducks to fly by. He has
on a White shirt a dark brown Coat
and a black Hat. You can see him a
Mile off. Here cornea a Duck. He is
way up in the Sky but tho Man will
shoot all the same. Bang! Bang!
Did the Duck drop 1 Not much !
The Duck flies on. Look ! there is
a puff of Smoke near the Bush.; Hark.
Bang! The Duck drops in the Mud.
A Boy wades out and picks him up.
Now the Boy is back out of eight all
is Still. The Man goes to talk with
the Boy. The Boy has an old Gun all
Rust. The Lock is tied on with String.
(I should hate to fire it.) But the Boy
has a Nice Pile of Ducks. The Man has
no Ducks at all but be has Lots of tho
Cash ! Now the Boy has Borne Cash
and the Man has the Ducks. See the
Boy grin! The : man vill take the
Ducks home and tell his Wife that he
shot them all with Lis Fine New Gun.
Is it right for tho Man to do this ?

' Do not when narrating an incident
continually say "you aeo." "you know"
Do not intrude professional or other

Mr. Penbodj's Charity.
The noble gift of Mr. Peabody for
the benefit of the London poor is bear-
ing excellent fruit. The 500000 which
he left; tor building workmen's houses
has grown to the handsome. Bum : of
780418 bo that the ; trustees. Lord
Derby the United States Minister and
Sir Stafford Northcote are not hamp-
ered by want of funds. They have
already built 2787 N- separate dwellings
which were occupied last year by 11-
459 persons. The net gains from rents
were almost 30000. Considering the
large sums spent on the bath-rooms
laundries and wash-houses this is con-
sidered a fair return. The wise policy
is to charge a reasonable rent for the
houses which are in great demand.
There were more than 3000' applicants
for the 432 dwellings which were open-
ed last year. The income derived is to
be appled from time to time to the con-
struction of new buildings of the same
kind. A striking fact in connection
with those already in use in that the
death-rate in those buildings was last
year 3 98 per 1000 below the London
average and London is one of the
healthiest cities in the world. Toronto

How Alligators Eat.
An alligator's . throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges in his
mouth goes down. He is a lazy dog
and instead of hunting for something
to eat he lets his victuals hunt .for him
that is he lies with his great mouth
open apparently dead like the 'possum.
Soon a bug crawls into it then a fly
then several' gnats and a colony of
mosquitoes. The alligator don't close
his mouth yet. He is waiting for a
whole drove of things. He docs his
eating by wholesale. A little later a
lizard will cool himself under the shade
of the upper jaw. Then a few frogs
will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Then more mosquitoes and gnats light
on the frogs. Finally a whole village
of insects and reptiles settle down for
an afternoon picnic. Then all at once
there is an earthquake. The big jaw
falls the alligator blinks one eye gulps
down the entire menagerie and opens
his great front door again for more vis-
itors. To Merchants.

Delaware Ohio and Illinois and 0000
square milea ever containing 175587
810 acres. At tho latio of population
of Massachusetts it could support the
present population of the United
States. Its population ia 1592571 by
the lost census and it ia receiving im-
migrants at the rate of more than 1000
daily. It ia tho first cattle-raising
state of the Union having ubout 5000
000 head. It ia second in tho number
of horses with ubout 1000000 head.
It is third in sheep with about 5000
000 head. Total value of live stock
excluding hogs more than $71000000.
For tho year ending August 31 1881
tho Bales of its producta were includ-
ing cotton wheat wool hided etc. $95
960930 against $57820111 in 1S78-9.
Add to this the $20000000 expended
by railway and we havo a grand total
of $115900930 as the sum derived by
Texas to the credit of its agricultural
and industrial resources double that
of 1878-9. ' ;
Cereals grasses and vegetables of all
kinds fruits melons and berries grow

Land is cheap and can be obtained
on easy terms.. A home once paid for

Mechanics' wages rate from $2$1J a

per month.
Most of the state is from 500 to' 2000
feet above the sea and her - climate
tempered by the trade winds is delight-
ful. As a health resort western Texas
rivals California and Colorado. The
agriculture of the state is in its infan-
cy and her mineral and manufacturing
resources have barely been touched.
Her future is almost beyond comprehension.
A Georgia paper says: "Gold in
thirty three counties in this State; cop-
per in thirteen ; whisky in all of them
and the last gets away with the the rest.
It can do it every time." All Georgia
wants now to put her on an equality
with California is to got about 100000
Chinamen.
A clergyman who had just married a
couple felt indignant when the bride-
groom gave him a fee of only a half dol-
lar smiled grimly and said: "Never
mind. You'll have to pay a lawyer $100
for undoing what I have done."
There is now an average depth of two
and a half feet of snow at Emigrant
Gap. The snowfall there in April was
four feet five inches. During the win-

The gold and silver coin and bullion
now in the vaults of the Treasury of the
United States amount to the vast sum
of $267 332375 54.
