ing for them, but he must bear in mind
that he pays for more than the cost OF the
stairways themselves. He pays for the
added room or added size of the house that
is required over and above that which is
actually required by the stairways. The
combination stairway in this house gives
US more room on the second floor than we
would have il we had two stairs. A second
stairway would have TO go up, say, over the
pantry and land in the back end Of what is
now the rear bedroom on the second floor.
That would make il desirable 10 have a
hall connecting it with the front stairway.
This would cut off from the size of the
bedrooms Immediately back Of the bath
room. This would destroy the availability
of this room as a bedroom, and make it
necessary TO enlarge the house in order to
get another bedroom. Thus it is that the
addition of stairway to this plan would
just about ruin bedroom or make added
size to the building necessary.
In case Of necessity one can go up from
the kitchen to the stair landing and down
70 the front door without going through
the dining or sitting room and disturbing
those who are therein occupied.

THE PARSONS TEXT.

Probably no class Of men can COM
pare with the clergy in p.oviding
stories for the common stock Of liter
allure. II any one doubts this be has
only to listen to group of preach
ers an some social occasion.
The late DIR, Ward, of Yankton,
s. D., was famous for the number of
good stories he could tell. One of
the last recollections which an cd
friend had of him was at banquet of
college men, where he related the fol-
lowing ola college classmate who was
present
This classmate was a rising young
minister, very absent-minded, very
earnest and very sensitive. Hurry
ing to church one Sunday morning,
and going into the pulpit late, he was
Mortified to discover that he had not
bis carefully written sermon with him.
The service had begun by the sing
ing Of the anthem, but he called up
one of his neighbors' boys and gave
him hurried directions about his
study and the probable location of
the sermon and sent him post-haste
to get it aud return as fast as posi-
BILE.
The service proceeded and still the
boy did not appear. The young
preacher was in agony. He had new
er preached without notes, and the
perspiration stood in great beads on
his forehead as he wondered what he
would do if the sermon did not come.
Finall., just as the last stanza of
the hymn which proceeded the sermon
wasa being sung, the boy appeared,
rushed up the isle conspiciously, and
handed the minister his manuscript.
The clergyman took the package ner-
vously, opened it, and, during pro-
found stiffness, announced the text.
Not until he had spoken it did the
meaning of it fash over him. 1t was
this:
"Rejoice with me; for | have found
the piece which | had lostlD
This was too much for the audi
ence. The people laughed outright.
But the lesson was a good one for
the minister, who never forgot his
sermon again while in that parish
Christian Union.
