SERMON FROM BERNARD SHAW
Eccentric   Author   Tells   Some   Plain
Truths   in   an   Exceedingly   Plain
Manner,   as   Usual.
Mr. Shaw said a great deal of what
had been erroneously called religion
for the last 300 years had been nothing else than a conspiracy to try and
persuade themselves and others that
virtue was a cheap thing. Virtue was
not a cheap thing—no good things
were cheap. If they wanted a decent
and virtuous population—which they
had not at present—they would have
to pay for it. But, after all, the expense would not be so great as the
expense of the present system. They
Ought to make up their minds, since
they were going to spend money on
the peAple, that it should be spent
sensibly, and that they should try to
'keep people in efficiency and health.
This was a matter which should be.
thought over carefully. For two centuries past the main object pf the English people had been to ayoid think-*
ing. They liked a man who would ge\
on'the "platform and tell them that
they would muddle through. This
country was really at the present
time in a deplorable and appalling
condition. He publicly apologized tg
the universe for living in it.-JLondofl

THE IDEAL FIRELESS COOKERS
Prisoners Honored Confidence.
When the circus exhibited in Mont-
pelier, Vt., recently, there was no
Work for eleven prisoners in the jail.
The sheriff purchased tickets for
them and allowed them to see the
show without an escort. Some had
long terms to serve and the crowd and
darkness farnisTied an excellent opportunity to escape. Fifteen minutes
after the performance was over every
one was back where he belonged.
Ladies    Visiting    the    Warship    "Put
Their  Dirty Paws" All  Over
His Immaculate Gun.
A company of ladies were visiting an
ironclad, and paused for a moment on
the upper deck to examine the cannon. Their admiration was excited by
the shining condition of the great
monsters and one of the younger members of the party, standing near the
gun, placed her delicately-gloved hand
on the brass mountings, at the same
time making some remark about its
beautiful polish.
The gunner whose duty it was to
keep the hrasswork bright did not appear to be greatly pleased with the
feminine compliments, and the ladies
had no sooner moved away than he
seized a cloth, sprang to the cannon
which the young lady had touched, and
commenced rubbing it fiercely, all the
while casting malevolent glances after
the retreating, party.
The officer of the deck noticed his
action, and remarked:
"Well, Smith, you don't seem to be
ticlded as I- should thinlc a man would
he with all that flattery."
"Flattery!" said Smith, bitterly-..
"■ 'Tain't enough for them to come and
look at it"—rub, rub, rub—"but they've
got to go and put their dirty paws all
over it." And he kept on scrubbing
the hrasswork with his fiercest energy.
The Matter Settled.
Mr. Lately Married—"But, dearest, 1
thought we had planned to go to the
opera this evening?" Mrs. Ditto—"Yes,
love; but I have changed our minds*'-
