There's only one kind of spruce gum,

The rejection of Mr. William K Wander
bilt by the Jockey club i'll Paris has occa-
stoned much comment in New York club
circles. 1t is generally thought that Mr.. Van
derbilt did not act wisely in allowing himself
TO be proposed for membership, as he
had not been a resident of the gay
capital sufficiently long enough to enable
him to become well acquainted with the
clubs members. The Jockey club of Paris is
an organization very chary of admitting new
members; and Mr.. Vanderbilts rejection, for
these two reasons, does not signify anything

How To Increase Church Attendance.
A method Of increasing church attendance,
that is particularly applicable in hot weather,
was lately discovered by the wife of a clergy
man. She found while visiting among the
parisbiOners that they did not attend church
more frequently because the services were so
long. Giving the tip to her good husband, he
began services promptly at the appointed
hour, read only one verse of each hymn, in
stead of the whole, cut down his prayers one
half, and shortened his services in about the
same proportion. A service of one hour soon
filed his church Boston Herald.

Student Walters.

:, About the sickest thing in the world is
the student waiter" In 999 cases out of
1000 the aforesaid students" have not half
brains enough to compete with the most
stupid darkey that ever donned the white
apron. They are usually farmers sons who
have read up in dime literature of the many
men of mark who obtained their starts in
life by working their passage, saving wood,
splitting rails, driving mules, keeping a dis
trict school or attending fancy horse
during vacation. A bright idea gets under
their skulls that by going in as a waiter
they might get few tips, some good meals,
and have a good time at the expense Of
somebody, and SO they start in as walters.
A hotel that indulges in such walters must
be q curiosity. We had an extended expe-
rience of one dinner, and that was enough.
The waiter was studying for the ministry,
and when asked for small bottle of claret,
nearly had fit, and finally asked if spring
water wouldn't do just as we'll, as he was
opposed to tasting or handling the danger
Gus stuff. That bright fellow may now be
among the heather, and that's the best place
TO. him and all like him, but it is only a
sample of student walters.

Lore for Children.

To the rejecting mind, there is no
claim so strong as that which child
has upon us, for unremitting, devoted,
affectionate cherishing. It is there be-
cause we have been happy. That hap
piness we sought, careless, utterly
thoughtless of it. Exclusively seeking
our own qualification, we have forced it
to encounter this rough world and all
its trials. The voiceless baby speaks
to our conscience; you who have sub
jected my helplessness to all these
wishes and wants, how deeply bound
you are to provide! And this uncon-
scious plea is urged with smiles so
sweet, and glances SO bright, as could
we'll fascinate of themselves Every
day develops some new charm. The
baby learns to smile recognition, and
then creep to it's mother; an arch ex-
preston mingles with the smiles of the
child, and elevates it to the rank of in
telligent beings; and as it nears the ex-
IRENE verge of childhood, intervals of
tempered seriousness descend upon its
eyes and brow, foreshadowings Of the
deep and awful emotions of maturity.
Drop by drop water wears holes in the
solid rock: day after day, with smile and
arch look, and grave questioning, the
child penetrates into the hearts. If
there be love that is undying, it is that
of the parent for the child. If there
be love in which turks no alloy of
selfishness, is it that of the parent for
the child. The love Of man and woman
is beautiful and terrible emotion
strong beyond expression, triumphing
over terror and death; and yet the best
security for the prominence and happi-
ness of welded life, is to be found in
that seemingly fragile chain which is
knit by children's hands,
