WHY He Couldn't Raise II.

Mr.. Sage is an habitual church goer,
and he attended a we'll known church
on Fifth Avenue for several months.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Bristow
occupied the pew directly behind that
of Mr.. Sage. and he, as well as others,
had observed that Mr.. Sage's invarable
custom was to drop a quarter a dollar
into the contribution box. One Sun
day the preacher made an unusually
strong and effective appeal for aid for
some needy Christian object, and many
members of the congregation, who we're
won't to drop silver coins into the box,
put in greenbacks instead. Mr.. Bris-
tow, it is alleged, leaned forward and
whispered, II say Sage, will raise the
usual gift to dollar if you will" The
millionaire at first nodded his head as
if consenting to the proposition. Then,
partly turning around, he said, "No,
can't give q dollar. I'll go fifty cents.
I'd like to be generous, but I've got
million dollars in the bank that is not
earning me q nt."-NelO York

How Eugenie Met Napoleon.

1t was at ball given by President
Napoleon at the Elysee, some nights
before the coup detat, the Mile. Eu-
genie met her future husband. A ro-
nance is connected with this meeting.
Wishing to avoid the crowded ball
rooms, Louis Napoleon, with the Duke
of La Moskowa, went into the Elysee
gardens, where he suddenly came upon
a radiant. blushing girl. She was tying
up her hair, alone, opposite glass in
the conservatory. Her hair had come
down during waltz, and the crowd
was too great to admit of her reaching
the ladies' dressing room. She had
glided to this place, hoping to be un-
observed. This little circumstance of
the fall of her back hair led to her sub
seouent elevation to one of the proud
est positions ever occupied by a woman.

The religious orders had the monop-
oily almost Of the copying OF books, for
the number of laymen possessing the
requisite skill and learning was very
limited. Some orders. such as the
Carthusian monks, made it one Of their
chief duties, as they depended entirely
on the pay derived from their labors
to keep them independent of all char
ity. In every abbey or other religious
house the inmates were allotted certain
tasks, varying according to their mental
and physical qualifications, but the
task that was most highly esteemed,
and which proved constant employ
ment, was copying books. A room
called the scriptorium was especially
set apart for the monks to pursue their
labors in. and here they would meet
every day for a certain number
OF hours. These rooms were
were furnished with stone or
wooden desks fixed to the walls
round the room, but before desks were
introduced the only supports on which
the copyists could place their books
we're their knees. There was always q
fixed number of transcribers, and when
ever a vacancy occurred, through death
o. any other cause, i. was filled up i'm
mediAtely. 10 was usual TO intrust the
copying of books for the choir, and
those not demanding much skill. to
boys and novices but missals, bibles,
and books requiring the highest skill
and learning were only executed by
priests of mature years and great ex-
perlence. The monks were enjoined
to proceed with their work in strict
silence that their attention might not
be distracted from their work, and to
avoid as far as possible, any errors in
grammar, spelling, or punctuation. In
some cases authors prefixed to
t'Ar works solemn adjurations to
t..Jse whose duties it was to transcribe
them. For instance, Ireneus wrote ::
az adlure thee, who shall transcribe
this book, by our Lord Jesus Christ
and by his glorious coming to Judge
the quick and the dead, that thou COM
pare what thou transcribed, and cor
rect it according to the copy from which
thou trancsribest, and thou also annex
a copy of this adJuration to what thou
hast written" Every possible pre-
caution was taken to insure strict accu-
racy in the copies, and it was the duty
of certain monks to examine and COM
pare faithfully every copy with the
original. Other monks, again, had to
busy themselves with Illuminating the
copies, and others with binding them
A beautiful specimen of the skill of the
priests is the copy of the gospels pre-
served in the Cotton library, which
was written by Eadirid, bishop of
Durham. The illuminations, the cap
ital letters, the pictures of the evan
gelists, were executed with consumate
skill by his successor, Ethelwold, and
the whole, when finished, was bound
by Bilfrid, the anchorite, with gold and
silver plates and precious stones-The

Human CuriOsities.

human monstrosities, as well az phe-
nomena in the physical world? ?" argued
the front-door lecturer.

reporter, "and see the man who looks
like monkey. Without reference TO the
Darwinian theory, we see every day
men who resemble some kind of an an

where else. Again, you will see a fat,
chubby face with bristle-like whiskers.
