Resolved to Please.

The author of THE Five Talents Of
Woman says that very often husband
is more difficult to manage than chill
dren, but the wife, who keeps her tenn
per and perseveres in her efforts TO
please, will i'm the end conquer by
kindness. He tells the following
story To confirm his assertions: 'Zacha-
riah was not naturally an ill-tempered
man. but he treated his wife moro like
"a slave than an equal. II his temper
was ruflied abroad, she was sure to
suffer when he came home. His meals
he insisted were badly cooked, though
the good woman did her best to please
him.
One day Zachariah sent home large
fresh cod. with orders. to cook it for
dinner. The wife knew that whether
she boiled it. or fried it. or made it in
TO chowdcr, her husband would SEQ Id
when he came home She therefore cook
ed portions of the fish in several differ
ent ways, that for once, if possible, he
might be pleased with his dinner. She
did more, she secured frog. from the
brook back of the house, and put it in
TO a large dish.
At noon Iachariah came home, with
his usual fault-fnding look. "Well,
wife," said he, 'how did you cook the
fish? ! suppose you've spoiled it for
my eating" When as he took of n
cover, he continues: II thought So
Why did you fry it? I'd as soon eat a
fried frog! Why didn't you boil it?'
Il have boiled some also" said she,
lifting cover and showing the shout
ders of the cod nicely boiled.
Boiled fish! chips and porridge."
growled Zachariah. elf you had not
been so stupid you would have made a
chowder."
With IA smile, she placed before him
tureen of chowder. My dear" said
she, 81 was determined 10 please you.
There is your favorite dish"
'Favorite dish, indeedr' growled the
surly man. "lt's wishy -washy mess
I'd rather have boiled frog than the
whole Of it.
His wife had anticipated his favorite
expression. She uncovered large
dish and showed a bull-frog, stretched
out at full length.
Iachariah sprang from his chair.
"My dear" said his wife, II hope
now you will make an excellent dim
ner."
The humor of the whole scene over
came his sullenness; he burst into n
hearty laugh and declared that never
again should she have occasion To ex-
pose him as croaker. He was Us good
as his word. Elk.

Hearing Lord Sail bury Sneak.

Mr.. w. II. Lucy, the well-known
Rardical journalist and late editor of
the London Daily News, says: Lord
Salisbury, when he speaks. has, in UNI
bounded measure, that strong individ-
uality which fascinates an assembly or
nation. He is always personally in
teresting. When Lord Salisbury pre-
SCENTS himself at the table of the House
OF Lords there is nothing certain about
him, except that he will say something
In "a very striking manner.
HE scorns oratical graces and rarely
makes long speeches. Having some
thing TO say he says il in the fewest
possible words, and resumes his seat
with alacrity. When addressing the
House he has way of lounging over
the table, aud chatting in conversa-
tional tone as II deprecating the idea
that he is making a speech, Lord
Salisbury does not make use of copious
notes even when delivering his most
important speeches.
I'm appearance he is tall and we'll
built His hair is dark, and almost OF
poetic length. Strongly marked eye
brows pertinaceous-looking nose, a
thick dark beard and moustache, make
up "a remarkable physiognomy. lie
wears big hat with broad brim.

Effects of Hasheesh.

A. nj. Field has recently recounted
his experience under the influence Of
hasheesh. He smoked the hasheesh
until he felt profound sense of we'll
being, and then put the pipe aside.
After a few minutes he seemed to be-
come two persons; he was conscious of
his real self reclining on a lounge, and
of why he was there; his double was in
vast building made of gold and
marbles, splendidly brilliant and beau
tiful beyond all description. He felt
an extreme qualification and believed
himself in heaven. This double per-
sonality suddenly vanished, but reap
peared in a few minutes. His real self
was undergoing rhythmical spasms
throughout his body; the double was
marvellous instrument, producing
sounds of exquisite sweetness and per-
feet rhythm. Upon another occasion
sleep and waking came so rapidly that
they seemed 10 be confused. His dou-
bic seemed TO he a sea. bright and toss
ing as the wind blew; then continent.
Again he smoked "A double dose, and
sat at his table. pencil in hand, to note
its effects. This time he lost all con-
CtpblOu tllHt. he fDSt I'd open Il
door; this seemed a million years. He
went to pacify an angry dog, and end
less ages seemed TO have gone on his
return. Conceptions of space retained
their nominal character. He felt an
unusual fullness of mental impressions
enough TO fill volumes He under
stood clairvoyance, hypnotism and all
else. He was not one man or two, but
several men living ut the same time in
different places, with different occrpa-
tons He could not write one word
without hurrying TO the next. his
thoughts flowing with enormous rapid
ity. The few words he did write meant
nothing. This experience admirably
illustrates the close relationship be-
tween states Of real sanity and transit
tory affections induced by psychic
poisons.-Ex.

Lpvity i'm Church.

The Examiner Baptist says: 1.-THE re
sponsbility for irreverence lin church)
often rests largely on pastors who set their
people an example of inattention and disor-
der. While the congregation are worship
ing God in song the minister seldom thinks
it worth his while to stand and join in this
part of the service. He takes his seat and
may be seen gazing idly about the congre-
cation or is arranging his notices or the
manuscript of his sermon, taking a sip of
water and the like Or. if brother minis
ter occupy the pulpit, he will while away
the time as the choir render an anthem of
praise to God by conversing i'm whispers or
even in distinctly audible tone of voice
He will even come down from the pulpit
during the singing of "a hymn d i hold "a
whispering conference with tho sexton or d
deacon While the final hymn is being sung
ne may sometimes he seen struggling into
his or, atcoat and ovcrshocs, in which most
of the male members of his flock keep him
company, after which they accompany his
bcnedicton with r,it-tat-tat of hymn books
dropping into the racks
"Al this is as wrong as IL well could be.
II ought TO be understood that Christian
song in watch the congregation join in
praise or prayer 10 God, or in which the
choir lead their devotion and praise, is as
much an act Of worship as any other part of
the service. Pastor and people are alike
bound to join in, unless physically incapaci-
tated and il they are unable to join, they
should listen with reverence and decorIm.
Few pc )pe would conduct themselves irrev.
erently while the minister leads the devo
lions Of the congregation in spoken prayer.
Mhy do they take greater license when the
cho r leads their devotions in "A sung PRAYER.
And why are those who would be shocked
at irrevereuCe in the former case so tolerant
of IL in the latter.
