A DRY JoKE.-A very dry joke was recent
perpetrated at the expense of one of the mas

tn great age and erudtion, but whose mind
rarely given to merely routine duties. 1t is til
practice of this gentleman, who occupies yer
high position to read a chapter of the bible ever
morning to the assembled students and the chal
e. ter he intends to read each succeeding day Whc
is the next in order, he places his mark upo
when he closes the book. Thus the theory is tn;
the bible will be read through in due course. Th
re students tried the experiment. They remove
~ the mark one day, so that it would indicate Il
: chapter that had been once read to them Tf
next morning they were gratihed by finding th
their plan was successful the chapter was r
peated to them, and no suspecion of the che
was apparent. So they tried it again, and
worked as well as on the first occasion. II
students persevered ; nobody saw their manipul
- ton of the presidents mark and they hea
az that chapter-the eighteenth of Acts, we believ
as- just one week Every reading of it intensih
their interest in it. At last new leaf quiet
as- turned over, and new chapter was read, regar
less of the mark which had so long occupied I
undivided attention of their learned teacher. T
1rt- students say that the secretary was the macio
ary person who spoiled their fun.
