and the full description becomes weari-
some. Then he may sink into "Dean

because the Dean commonly stands by
himself in the diocese, while of Arch
deacons there commonly are several.

a 'Curate Designate The Bishop
Designate" is a creature of advertise
ments. l perfectly well remember
his beginnings. Some publisher
was advertising the writings OF
clergyman named, but not
yet consecrated, to some Irish or Colo
NAL See. His proper description, of
course, was 'Bishop elect" but the ad-
vertiser fancied that there could not be
Bishop-elect where there was only one
elector, so he invented the name OF
''Bishop designate The thing took;
only the name presently changed its
meaning. 1t is now used in the case of
an ordinary English Bishop to express
stage, earlier than '.Bishop-elect," a
stage namely, when no legal or eccle-
siastical step has yet been taken to
make him into Bishop. The Bishop
designate. is one who has simply re-
ceived letter from the Prime Minister,
which as yet makes no difference what
ever in his actual legal or ecclesiastical
position, though it certainly makes it
highly probable that he will before long
be recommended by the Crown, elected
by the chapter, and confirmed and con-
secrated by the Metropolitan. Long
before even the first of those steps has
been taken, people now call him ..Bish-
op designate" quite gravely, as if it
were an established legal or canonical
description, instead of the device of an
advertiser not many years back. Ihave
seen the nickname used in a formal uni
versity notice, and l saw the other day
in the Court Circular something about
the Dean of Windsor Designate. The

sion in a newspaper as to '.the legal

him of insurance. One morning he

The Struggle for Existence.

The intensity of the struggle for ex-
istence in England is well set forth by a
magazine writer, who asserts that 3OO, OOC
families in London alone are in the
habit of pawning small articles. and
that more than 100000 unredeemed
pledges are sold every year. As many
as 10000 are taken in pledge yearly
throughout the country, and, although
a certain proportion Of these are stolen
goods, it is estimated that only one in
1900 can be counted as such. In no
country in the world is the same relat-
i've poverty possible, not even in st. Pc
tersburg, where the extremes of poverty
nd riches are as marked Is they are in
London. for there there is no interme-
date class to answer to the English
middle class, from which and the better
class of lower orders the pawnbrokers'
profits are most derived. In Paris the
Mont de Pete is comparatively little
frequented. except by those who have
been driven to poverty by excuses.
whereas in London really respectable
people relieve temporary pressure in
this way.-N. Y. Mail.

crazy, and his relatives brought him be-
fore the County Court to have lunatico

Expensive Match.Safes.

Two ladies, one elderly, the other
young, sauntered to a counter in Tiff
fanys and asked to see some pocket
match-safes.
'.Of any particular kind or at any
special price?" the salesman inquired.
NO. We want to select one from
the prettiest you have" the young lady
replied.
The salesman Showed several in
bronze with raised designs in silver.
One of the designs was cluster of small
growing daisies and bug lowering
over it. The salesman pressed a spring,
the top flew open, there was crack
and a flash, and wax match stood bolt
upright, ignited. The hinge on which
the lid worked was perforated, and by
peculiar spring the match imme-
d:ately beneath the perforat;on was
thrust through it and ignited by the
friction.
"How much is this?" the elderly
lady asked.

''Oh, mamma" the young lady said,

match-safe as cheap as that for him.

About Cats.

To all who have kept them as pets, it
is well known that eats have a charac-
ter entirely different from the horse or
dog. In common with dogs they are
kept as house pets, and often at the
present day a family will have one or
more cats where they could not afford
a dog.
By nature they are acknowledged to
be unfaithful, given to theft. and they
show their spite on the least provoca-
ton. All this is directly opposite to
the horse and dog. both of which are
willing to endure hardships to be with
their masters, and seldom show spite.
From earliest records, cats have been
abused by the multitudes in various
ways, and the question might be very
properly asked whether they are in all
respects as bad as represented. As an
instance to the contrary, it is related
that NJ. Sonnini, when in Egypt, had an
Angora cat of which he was extremely
fond. 1t was entirely covered with
long, white, silken hairs. Its tail form
ed a plume, which the animal elevated
over its body at pleasure. Not one
spot, nor single dark shade furnished
its dazzling white coat. Its nose and
lips were of delicate rose-color. Two
large eyes sparkled in its round head !;
one was of light yellow and the other
q fine blue. This beautiful animal had
even more loneliness of manners than
grace in attitude and movements.
However i'll any one used her, she
never attempted to use her claws. Sem
sible to kindness, she licked the hand
which caressed, and even that which
tormented her. In Sonnini's solitary
moments, she chiefly kept by his side.
During his absence she sought and
