HOW SOME PEOPLE TALK.
One Girlish Chatterbox Who Had Some
thing to Say on Every Subject.

From the Youths Companion
''She must be so clever, mammal said a
young girl Of an acquaintance. "she always
has something to say. When our art teacher
takes us to the museum and talks to US about
those lovely things there Belle can always put
In a word at the right place and the rest OF us
seem SO still and stupid.'
Put is it a wise word?" asked the mother.
quietly. Il always thought her voluble and
nothing mere"
20 mammal I'm sure YOU don't know how
clever she really is! She seems to know some
thing about everything"
Next day, however, Lillian came home
| from the art class, her eyes dancing with mis-
chief.
I've wasted my hour. mamma" said she,
''but don't scold ME. / thought I'd take down
| some Of Bellies wise remarks to pI owe she really
could converse, and the result Is perfectly as
tonishlnS. Why, mamma. l find she only re-
peatsi'
Thereupon Miss Mischief produced a paper
bearing the following conversation" which
| she declared to be verbatim:
| Now this is a typical Greek face" began
| the teacher. Notice the continuous line of
nose and forehead'-
"Quite continuous" breathed Belle, APP
! provingiy.
"And note the simple knot at the back of the
head"
''Grecian knott said Belle, nodding patron
izingly at the girls.
This head Was accidentally found"
Quite by accident. Oh. those fortunate &C.

Il think the English have had the luck OF
finding things. don't you Miss Eaton?" asked
| Belle.
"And then" said Lillian. as she read the
paper aloud TO her mother, IAN unexpected
| remark was made. Miss Eaton said very
slowly and seriously: Girls. have told y on
that these talks are to be strictly informal but

DIR. KINGS CASE.
Judgment Given by the Archbishop of
Canterbury Regarding Certain Acts.

LONDON, Nov 21.-The Archbishop of Can
terbury has delivered judgment against Rev.
DIR. Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln. who was
charged with ritualistic practices regarding
the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical court and
his obligation to obey the rubr1cal directions
in the prayer book, The archbishop sus-
pended judgment in regard to the bishops
rubrical irregularities. The mixing of water
with the wine used in the act of conservation,
the archbishop holds. infringed the law of the
church, but the use of a mix ID chalice pre-
pared beforehand did not offend the ecclesias-
teal law.
The charge against the bishop regarding abb
luton was dismissed, it not being supported by
the evidence.
The archbishop decided that DR.. Kings ac-
ton in turning his face to the east during COM
munion ami thus making his manual acts in
visible was Illegal. The acts must be visible
to tho congregation. The singing of the hymn
''Agnus Der during communion was not illegal.
The archbishop holds that the placing of
lighted candles upon the altar for ceremony
during the services when they are not wante
for light is not illegal, although such act is dis
tasteful to many communicates. The bishop,
he says, is quite unjustitied III making the sign

A Crazy Barber and His Razor

From the Lewiston journal
Speaking of insane persons, il may be said
that John b. Redman of Ellswor n. once demo-
cratic candidate for governor, had a most
thrilling experience. In that city resided a
barber, q good fellow and general fayorite.
who a few years ago was taken insane. He
was confined for a time in m asylum, but after
awhile he was pronounced sane and liberated
He at once returned to Ellsworth and to his
former business. Mr.. Redman shaved there
and one day he went in and took his usual seat.
The lather was applied to the well-rounded
throat and ruddr face of the rotund customer.
and then the barber taking out keen razor
gave professional touch along the strap, felt
along the edge and propounded the startling
question:
MIR. Eedman. would you, as a lawyer, say 1t
would be wrong for me to cut your throat if
was sure God ordered III"
Mr.. Redman knew all about the former mis-
fortune of the tonsorial artist and knew he was
in a very dangerous position. Physically he
was able TO throw his companion out of the
shop, but seated as he was in a chair with his
hands under an ample apron and his feet well
elevated upon stool, he realized that any
sudden move might result disastrously, espe-
cially as the razor was now open and quite
close to his shirt collar. He made ND his mind
in an instant and instead of answerin, the
question put one. Directly in front OF him
was a large mirror and behind him was a win
dow. LOOKING INTO the mirror there was re-
Hected the opposite side OF the street, aud as
the reflection of citizen who was passing
could be seen Mr. Redman cooiiy said:
Hold on second. Is not that Mr.. Blank
across the way2'
The barber went at once to the window to see
who had passed and with q great deal of
alacrity, Mr. Redman got out Of that chair.
With one motion he brought the apron across
his face, removing the lather
Excuse me-" he said, Il want to see him, IS
and grasping his coat and hat, got out of that
shop. He thinks he had marrow escape.
