COAT TAILS CUT OFF.
A Practical Joker Who Was Caught in
His Own Trap.

Gay Tippleton is great practical joker,
says the Liverpool Courier. At a country
house not long ago, when the ladies had
retired for the evening, the gentlemen
congregated in the smoking room.
I say, Ewart," said TippletOn, 81
think it's very bad form of you coming in
here without taking the trouble to 90 up
stairs and change your coat. If you de IL
again | certainly shall have those claw
hammer tails cut off,"
Next eYening-scene repeateG-young
Ewart strolls into the smoking room with
his dress coat on. Without more ado Gay
and few congenial spirits had young
Ewart down on a couch and cut the tails
off his coat. Ewart took it very cOOlly.
He strolled up to the fire, and stood in the
attitude the ladies allege TO be the favor
tie one of the male sex.
"YOu take it very philosOphically,'
said one Of Gay Tippleton's friends.
'Oh," replied Ewart, sit doesn't matter
to me. It's not my coat; it's Tippleton's
garment. l knew he'd keep his word, SO
l just dropped into his room in passing
and put his coat on"
There was a roar of laughter, and, to do
Gay Tippleton justice, no one joined in II
more heartily than he.

A High-Church story.

A story is told of Dean Law, of Glouces-
ter, recently deceased, which, if not true,
is at least cleverly invented. The dean
used to give dinner-parties at the deanery,
and oftentimes these entertainments were
graced by the quality from the country.
The dean, as a truly pious evangelical,
liked 10 conclude these social gatherings
with family prayer, or domestic liturgy,
or devotions of some sort, and II hymn
could be sung, so much the better. On
one occasion the dean entertained a very
great lady indeed, and toward the close of
the evening he sided up to this eminent
parsonage, and, after considerable hem
ming and having, having explained his
wish to have family worship accOmpan-
led by singing, he said, ''Would you be so
kind as to lead off just as am p Just
asIam," we may explain for the benefit
of unorthodox readers, is well known
Low Church hymn The reply was short,
severe. and stunning: "Mr. Dean, my

The Alabama Legislature has very
properly repealed the law passed by a
former Legislature placing prohibitory
tax on foreign money loaned on real es-
tate in that State. The people of Ala
bama, like those of Georgia, need money,
and unfortunately some of them have
made very foolish contracts IN order to
get it. 1t is not right to prohibit the lend
ing of foreign money, butt would be well
to put some reasonable limit on the
amount of commissions charged by the
sub-agents Of foreign money-lending
companies. Twenty per cent. looks like
an awful gOuge. As to the provisions
in the mortgages that the
principal shall become due when the IN
terest is not promptly paid, it seems
that the law cannot help the sufferers.
No man ought to make such a contract.
There IS no doubt that the rapacity OF
these foreign corporations will in the end
injure them more than it will benefit
them.

The wholesale cremation of lunatics
seems to have become fashionable. One
horror follows another in rapid success
sion. Abiding to the recent aims house
fire near Philadelphia, the Record of that
city says: "All ordinary tests of insanity
are evidently fallaciOus. If it were not
50 such events as the burning of BlOckley,
with its presumably insane inmates
would not occur. Somewhere among the
authorities who erect and maintain such
finder boxes there must be distributed a
larger amount of insanity than is con-
fined within. The only escape from this
conclusion Is the possibility that an occa-
sional auto-da fe of confirmed lunatics is
considered, IN Illinois, Pennsylvania and
other States, as necessary to prevent the
too great prevalence of lunacy."
