How He set EN- Up."

Simply because the man who stands be
hind the bar of certain saloon on Cratic
Avenue is a pleasant faced smiling ole
man, certain parties came to the concIu
sion that there was no fight III him. They
therefore cooked up plan to play upon
his fears and make him "set 'em up" fol
the crowd. Three red nosed men cs|lee!
upon the old man in body Yesterday
and business was opened BY one Of them
saying:
"When l WAS in here last night vor

No gentleman would do that. You meant
it as an insult, and now demand salts
of honor?"
"Ish dot possible. What field ish dot =
exclaimed the astonished bar tender.
"You must 60 out with me and fight a
duel u
"Good gracious! 1sh dot drue 2"
"Yes, it is. I'll 60 out and leave my
two friends here to settle the details with
you. l must either have blood or an

When the belligerent had retired one Of
the others said:
'See here, old man. I'm afraid you We

sure shot, and he'll wing you."
"How vhill he put some wings on mes'

"Why, you will 60 outside the city and

ADVICE TO PROFESSIONAL MEN.

To professional men, men Of business,
and, indeed. all who are engaged in pur-
suits requiring more or less severe mental
work, coupled with more or less confne-
ment, exercise is, Of course. the condition
sine qua non of the recreation to be
recommended. This fact is so obvious
that l need not dwell upon it further
than to make one remark. This is to
warn all such persons that their feelings
are no safe guide as TO the amount of
muscular exercise that is requisite for
maintaining full and sustained health
BY habitual neglect of sufficient exercise
the system may, and does, accommodate
itself to such neglect; 80 that not only
may the desire for exercise cease to be
fair measure Of its need, but positive ex-
haustion may attend much less amount
Of exercise than is necessary to long con-
tinuance of sound health.
However strong and we'll, therefore,
man may feel notwithstanding his me-
glect Of exercise, he ought to remember
that he is playing most dangerous
game, and that sooner or later his sin will
find him out-eithcr in the form of dvs-
pepsia, liver, kidney, or other disease,
which so surely creep upon the offender
against natures laws Of health. Accord
ing to Dr.. Patkes, tho amount Of exercise
that healthy man ought to take without
fatigue is at the least that which is re-
quired for raising one hundred and fifty
foot tons per diem. This, in mere walk
ing, would, in the case of man Of ordi
nary weight, be represented BY walk Of
between eight aud niue miles along level
ground, or one mile up tolerably steep
hill; but it is desirable that the requisite
amount Of exercise should be obtained
without throwing all the work upon one
set Of muscles. For this reason walking
ought to be varied with rowing, riding,
active games, and, where practicable,
hunting or shooting, which, to those who
are fond Of sport, constitute the most
perfect form Of recreative exercise.

OF Victor Emanuel thi, story is told in
new biography Of that King. lie went
one day to hear service in the Cathedral
Of Pisa with all his court and following
of citizens which numbered some thou
sands; he found the great entrance closed
against him. Some one proposed forcing
the door, and there were angry murmGr-
ings among the Liberals abou. him. But
the King seeing side door open, said
smiling'y: "Let US pass in here, my
friends; it is a narrow way that leads to
Paradise" Very soon after the same
thing happened at Bologna. The King,
on visiting the Duomo, was received by
one or two inferior clergy at side en-
trance. Great Indignation was expressed
by the citizens, 40 much so that the
Bishop was somewhat alarmed, and came
TO apologize to the King, excusing his
absence on the plea Of illness. The KING
replied: "Yoa were quite right not to
Inconvenience yourself, my Lord. do
not 60 to church to visit priests, but to
worship G,I."

The Praying Clerk.

A New England merchant dong large
business requiring several clerks, short
time since missed several articles of value
from his store. He determined to watch
the habits ofthase young men, to discover,
| if possible, which one, if either of them,
was not trustworthy.
| There was one Of them who appeared
particularly active and faithful. His
dress WAS inferior to that Of the other
clerks, and he was evidently not partic.
ularly popular among them. The mer-
chant learned that this young man re
mained for half an hour after the others
left with the door of the store locked.
This circumstance awakened his suspi-
cions, and he arranged plan to conceal
himself in the store, 80 that he might
discover what occurred whom the clerk
supposed himself to be nnobserved. Hav-
ing sent the young man upon al errand
jnst before the hour Of closing, he enter
el his place Of eoncea'ment The door
was locked, as usual, at the proper time.
The clerk st once began to sweep and
put the establishment into order. While
waiting for the dust to settle he was seen
to 60 behind the counter, and taking
something from beneath it. place it in the
breast of his coat.
The merchant was now alive to dis
cover what had been taken, and what was
to be done with it. The young man went
to the window and sat in silence few
moments, apparently examining the pack
ages which he had taken from his breast.
The merchant was not long left in
doubt. His clerk soon fell upon his
knees. he saw that it was the Bible he
had beon reading. And now he offered
aloud "a simple and touching prayer for
himself, his mother and sister, his en-
ployer, and particularly for a brother
clerk, who be feared was yielding to
temptation. After he had finished dust
ing he lef: the store, unconscious Of hav-
ing had human eye upon him.
1t is easy to believe that the merchant
was deeply affected BY what be had seen
and heard. The clerks salary was in
creased to several hundred dollars a
year, and be was given the position
made vacant BY the discharge of an
other, whose criminal acts had been dis
covered.

AN UaLY K1EG.-One day peasant
woman took basket Of eggs to the house
where the royal party was lodged. Al
the door she met an individual who greet.
ed her politely and on finding out her er-
rand carried the basket to the kitchen,
which done, he returned with handful ol
small coine. Emboldened BY so much
condescension, the good woman mustered
up courage to mention her great desire to
set eyes on the King, Victor Emmanuel.
"Why, that's mel" said the person with
whom she was speaking. She looked at
him scrutinizingly; then, after some
seconds Of mute contemplation, she ex.
claimed: "Oh, never You won't get ne
to believe that Such sweet and beauti-
fnl woman as the queen would never have
married man 81 beurt." The king (for
it was hey dismissed her with an extra
piece Of money, and proceeded in all haste
to ask some peasants what was the mean
ing Of 81 beurt. $50 ugly !" was the reply.
Victor Emmanuel related this small Incl
dent with the greatest gusto.-T Temple

London--Its Greatness.


ara impressed, when you find yourself ii
it, with its immensity. as one is impressed
with the vast reach Of the ocean whom h.
sseams over it day after day without /;
glimpse Of land or the sight, perhaps Of a
single sail. You feel like mere atom ir
this vast, billowy tide of human life. Cul
up into smaller communities London
would make dozen cities equal in popu-
lation to New York, Booklyn, Boston
PhiIa leIphia, Baltimore, Washington
Buffalo. Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis
New Orleans and San Francisco! 1t
contains more people than our six popu
Ious New England States, more than the
whole kingdom Of Denmark, more than
twice as many as Norway, nearly as many
AS all Scotland. 1t is said to contain more
Jews than Palestine. more Catholics than
Rome, more Irishmen than DabIin, more
scotchmen than Edinburgh. There are
omnibuses running across the city by as
straight route as its cow-path streets
allow, which start before five o'clock in
the morning and barely make two round
trips before midnight. And year by year
the great city pushes out its borders, en-
comprising village after village Of the
outlying suburbs in its spider web Of
pavements, and water mains, and omni-
buses, and busy traffic. The villas arouud
its fringes, as Hare says, seem to be con
stant!y making an effort to get into the
country and never succeeding. Many
neighborhoods in the soil lily built city
still bear the names by which they were
known when they were only little hamlets
in the fields, miles from the city gates
snch as Chelsea, Kensington, Canbsrwell,
Bayswater, St. Johns Wood, etc. It ia
partly because Of the absorption of so
many villages in the great metropolis that
it is afflicted with such confusion in it's
street nomenclature. If you wish to visit
King street it is possible for you to ex-
plore ninety-four different streets Of that
name before you 6nd the right one. If it
is Queen street, your chance Of hitting
the right one the first time is just one in
ninety nine. Does your friend live on
Church street-you are confronted By
one hundred and fifty streets Of that name
besides the one you want Even Of John
streets there are one hundred and nine
teen, and Of New streets-new a long
while ago, in most cases-one hundred
and sixty six! 1t becomes necessity, in
such cases, to give the street surname SO
to speak-as men began to take surnames
when James and John and Mary became
frequent in the same circle of acquain
tance. Streets are often designated, there
fore, by adding the name Of some we'll
known thorougbfsre into which they run,
o: the special neighborhood to which they
belong. as Queen street, Cheapside King
street, St. James square; Church street,
footing; High street, Mary lebone, etc.
And in any case the initials Of the general
division Of the city are usually affixed to
the addrets-E. G. for east centre; w. c.,
west centre; S. E., southeast; n, north, etc.
