AMID the abjurgations of Infatuated
| draymen, the wild anathemas of exas-
perated bus drivers, and the half
smothered oaths of reluctant policemen,
the benevolent and intrepid Bergh
moves like a Daniel in the lions den.
To see him thus harrassed, insulted and
threatened, and at the Same time fulfill
ing the noble task he has set before
him, with temper as serene as the
blue sky above him, and 81 dignity as
simple as it is grand, is spectacle full
of inspiration.-Ecc

weight being trife over fifty pounds.

OBSERVATION of woman: The foot
is the point of departure for the whole
toilet. She who can prettily dress her
feet is very easily to costume elegantly
but woman who breads to expose her
feet can never be well alfred. The
German, who has generally big feet, is
always badly dressed. The American
has a little foot, SO she is elegant.
The Russian, who IS not pretty, is
ravishingly attired, for she has little
feet. TIE Spaniard is elegant her foot
is small, but she dresses it badly. The
French woman has little foot, AMI her
boot is the helghJ Of perfection.

heart, and began attendance at pro-

and offer a prayer. He did well until
the closing up, when he abruptly sat
down without the usual Amen" As
he dropped into his seat, his omission
occurred to him, when he arose quick
