A younger son of the Duke OF ARGYLL,
so ran the legend, who wished to
marry an untitled lady, not unnatur.
ally asked his fathers consent to that
step. The Duke replied that person
ally he had no objection to the match,
but, in view OF the fact that his eldest
son had espoused a daughter of the
Queen, he thought it right to take her
MaJesty's pleasure on the subject be-
fore expressing his formal approval.
Her Majesty, thus appealed to, OBJ
served that since the death of the
Prince Consort she had been in the
habit of consulting the Duke of SAKE
Coburg on all family affairs. The
matter was therefore referred to Duke
Ernest, who replied that since the
unifcation of Germany he had made
it a rule to ask for the Emperor's
opinion on all important questions.
The case now came before the Kaiser,
who decided that, as o constitutional
sovereign, he was bound to ascertain
the views of his Prime Minister.
Happily for the now anxious pair of
lovers, the Iron Chancellor had no
wish to consult anybody, and decided
that the marriage might take place.

The Bishop Did II.

Many years ago professor at a
college in Connecticut gave an evening
party. All went merrily enough un-
til the guests were going down to sup
per, when their ears were startle byd
the sudden tolling of the college bell.
AS every professor in the college was
present at the party, there was quite q
commotion, and the janitor was sent
up into the bell tower to find out what
was the matter.
The janitor, who was called "Pro-
lessor Jim" by the boys, returned and
reported everything quiet in the tow
er. The party again started down to
supper, when the bell again rang out.
Two or three ladies of the party were
badly scared, and the supper was not
half eaten. The professors tried to
solve the mystery, but they never
could discover who rang the bell.
Forty years afterwards a gray-haired
bishop attended a commencement"
at that college. professor Jim" was
still the janitor. Taking the bishop
aside professor Jim" said:
"The boys never got ahead of me
but once, and that was forty years
ago, when you were student here.
Now, Bishop, won't you tell me who
rang that bell?"
The Bishop, laughing heartily, con-
fessed that be was guilty, anu OK
planned that he had gone up in the
tower, tied stout, black silk cord to
the clapper of the bell, passed it out
through the bars of the tower window,
and secured the other end to the top
of maple behind the building. He
had climbed the maple, and with his
own hand pulled the cord. 81 thought

itor, "but I never understood how
twas done till this minute"
