superstitions Concerning Waves.

There are some curious superstitions
concerning waves. 1t was formerly held
among certain of the devout that the COM
motion of the sea was owing to the SER
penis which St. Patrick had imprisoned
in box when he cast them out of Ire
land. The Arab sailors believed that the
high seas off the coast of Abyssinia were
enchanted, and whenever they found
themselves among them they recited verses
which were supposed to subdue them. An
old traveller, in voyage from Messina to
Malta, writes that he saw the captain, an
old and experienced sailor, standing at
the bow muttering and pointing with his
finger. On being asked what he was
doing, he replied that he was breaking the
force of fatal wave by making the sign
of the cross and saying the prayers proper
for the occasion. He said that every
ninth wave was the dangerous one. The
writer adds: "And as the ship was imme-
diately driven more violently, and the
water suddenly beat high over it, This, ,
said he, is the ninth. Take the number
and count on Strange it is that every
ninth wave was much greater than any of
the others, and threatened the ship with
immediate destruction. This wave, how
ever, whenever it approached, the captain,
by his mutterings and signing of the cross,
seemed to break, and the danger was
averted. "-London Telegraph.

An Inventive People.

"We are an inventive people. Inven-
ton is by no means confined to our me-
chanics. Our merchants invent, our SOL
diers and our sailors invent, our profes
sional men invent, our schoolmasters
invent and our women and children in
vent. One man lately wished to patent
the application of the Lords Prayer, re-
peated in loud tone of voice, to prevent
stammertng; another claimed the new
and useful attachment of weight to a
cows tail, to prevent her from switching
it while milking; another proposed to cure
worms by extracting with a delicate line
and tiny hook, baited with seductive
pill; while lady patented crimping pin,
which she declared might also he used as
paper cutter, as a skirt supporter, as a
paper file, as child's pin, as bouquet
holder, as shawl fastener or as book

effort of some professional humorist. 1t

ment made many years ago by Mr. Fisher

A FIELD FOR ELocUTIoN.
C4ergymen Should Take Lessons for til
Benefit of Their CONGREGATIONS.


Benefit of Their Congregations.
There is a branch of the profession of
the elocutionist that seems, thus far, to
have escaped the grasp of the ubiquitous
reporters who are continually securing
the town in quest of novelties, This may,
however, be due to the fact that it is OF SO
delicate nature in itself that it senst-
lively shrinks from publicity. know
that in my own case I CHANGED upon it by
accident. found my first clew to it in a
business prospectus, and one Of the first
persons to assure me that he knew moth
ing about it and had never heard of such
thing in his life was an eminent divine,
who, was subsequently convinced, was
one Of those who profited most largely by
1t. For my part, to be sure, cannot see
why a clergyman should be ashamed to
admit that he is taking lessons in elocu-
ton. Certainly it is no crime against So
ciety or the church for preacher to i'm
prove his methods of oratorical delivery.
Actors rehearse their parts and painters
make sketches and studies for their
pictures. Why pulpit expounder should
not make some similar preparation for his
sSmons and lectures is not clear to me,
and that some of our best and most popu-
lar pulpit speakers do SO is, it seems to
me, simply tribute to their common
sense. If they all did it, it would be to
the. benefit of their congregations, who
have nowadays to sit out vast deal Of
poor speaking to get at the meat Of the
sermon delivered for their good.
There are two ways in which our minis
tiers employ the elocutienist to improve
them as speakers. These might be called
the direct and indirect. The direct con-
sists in regular lessons in elocution, often
involving a rehearsal Of the sermon itself.
The indirect consists in employing the ex-
pert to listen to and criticise the orator, so
that. by acquainting him with his faults
he is warned to avoid them. This sort OF
thing is called, believe, obstruction in
clerical reading" The elocutionists make
a special feature, / am told, of prayers, for
the impressive reading of which many
divines carefully prepare themselves. A
natural orator like Henry Ward Beecher
even did not disdain to occasionally en-
ploy an expert to listen to him and fur
nish him with careful criticism of his
speaking With this point in view it can
be understood how advantageous the
counsel and assistance of the expert must
DO to hundreds of preachers, who, no mat
ter how large their learning and able their
powers of analysis and composition may
be, do not possess the oratorica1 gift of
the great Brooklyn pastor. The ability
to write sermon by no means guarantees
the ability to deliver It eloquently, as a
great many people who 60 to church no
doubt know.
The sooner the elocutionist gets his fine
work in among our literary men the
better It win be for them. IL there are

A Recently Invented Paper.

A paper that resists the action of both
fire and water has been recently invented
in Germany. From literary point Of
view this is a barbarous cruelty, for the
only thing that mitigates the flood Of
books and papers is the hope that they
will soon be burned or turned into wrap.
