unjust discrimination against the men OF l503;

Some time since the bishop was dining
with a total abstainer, who provided
only water as the beverage of his guests
at dinner. The host, however, leaned
forward and whispered confdentially to
the bishop:
"You will find some wine in your bed

An amusing look passed over Bishop
Magee's face, but his thoughts, such as
they were, were kept to himself till the
fitting time should come. Not long after
this same gentleman was dining with

SNAP SHOTS.

The Society of Amateur Photographers
Of New York has just received the medal
given at the Paris exhibition of 1880
A new amateur Photographic society
called the Snap Shot Camera club has
been organized in San Francisco. Most OF
the members are under sixteen years of age.
The lantern slide craze still continues
among the amateur photographers, and for
the last few weeks they have been shown
by hundreds in New York and adjacent
cities.
A recent exhibition given by the photo
graphic section of the Manhattan chapter
Of the Agassiz association was success.
There were nearly 300 prints shown Of ex-
cellent workmanship.
Two hundred views of Texas scenery and
people were brought back by DR. John T..
Nagle, of the New York board of health,
as the result of a months trip in the south
western country with two cameras.
The excitement created by the alleged
discovery Of photography In colors by M.
Lippman, of Paris, has somewhat abated.
Fuller accounts show that it il still quite
an experiment and unsuited to the present
gelatino-bromide plates.
Miss Balfour, who accompanied her
brother to Ireland, returned with large

Quite a large collection OF photographs

Of the students during the last year. Some

are among them.

Demand for Larger nrnamos.

Professor Thomson, in speaking before
the National Electric Light association,
called to mind the great work in the
electrical field which has been accom-
plshed in the last few years, and, refer
ring to the ever increasing business and
the call for larger machines, said that
dynamos up to 600 to 900 horse power
are now frequently called for, where a
few years ago it was thought an unusual
thing to speak of 100 or 200 horse pow
er machine, and the tendency is toward
machines of much larger capacity in
future electric installations.
With regard to heating our houses by
electricity, Professor Thomson thought
it not at all likely that we will ever heat
extensively by electricity, unless we car
find some way of converting the energy
Of coal into electricity far more directly
and less wastefully than is done in steam
engines of the present day. - Boston

Giving New York Children Vacation

Giving New York Children a Vacation.
Those who apply for a chance to send
their children to the country are in
structed that they must be poor and
needy, without any infectious disease,
clean and free from vermin. A physi-
clan then inspects each child. DIR. G. G.
vinton was the examining physician
last year, and he examined nearly 5000
children, of whom about 5000 were sent
into the country. Each day the board
Of health furnished list of the houses
where there was any contagious disease,
which was Of immense help. With that
list before him it was easy for the ex-
aminer to stop any child who came from
an infected house. The majority were
refused on account Of their hopeless con-
dition as to verrnin. 1t is a herculean
task to get the average tenement house
child in suitable condition to be re-
ceived into country families. Rev. Will
lard Parsons in Scribner's.

Something Greek.

Modern literature, so far as the old
fashioned scholarship could misguide it,
has initiated the Roman imitators of the
Greeks, so that we have not even had
the advantage Of aping at first hand, and
we are only just beginning to feel the
true influence of the Greeks, which is al
ways toward the study of nature. Wher
ever one of us succeeds in representing
I life, he is seen to have done something
Greek; that is, something true. some
thing free, something beautiful. some
thing novel, something temperate :
