A London Method.

London is covered with houses which
have been huddled together anyhow by
tho speculative builder, on borrowed
money, and without much, if any, re-
gard for the-comfort or convenience of
the persons who are doomed to inhabit
them. How the thing is worked was
briefly explained the other day IN the
bankruptcy court. A receiving order
WIS made against a builder who began
business thirty years ago, admittedly
without any capital. In due time he
became q bankrupt That, we may as
sumo, did not hurt him very much.
At any rate, we shortly afterward find
him carrying on his business again, and
then in the course of another nine years
be once more found his way into the
bankruptcy court. On that occasion
there Was the cheerful payment'of one
shilling in the pound-an unusually
hxge dividend under the circumstance
On he went again, more gayly than be-
fore. Then he worked" several build
ing estates with4a firm,of solicitors, but
somehow or other that did not answer,
and consequently that -enterprising gen.
tlem2n made his third appearancein the
court. Thus do the gods sometimes
persecnte those whom they love.-Lon-

Wood Like Steel.

Jarah wood forms the subjectsof an
interesting article in The Kew Bulletin.
This wood, native of western Australia
and species.of eucalyptus, has several
valuable properties which fitit for special
uses, but it is so hard that it cannot be
easily worked with ordinary tools. We're
it not for the fact that ships are now
mostly built of steel jarrah wood would
form valuable material for their con-
strnction, for vessels builtof it have after
twenty five years service been found as
sound as when launched, although they
have not been sheathed with copper.
The Kew authorities,have been in COM
munication with some of tho London
vestries, and as result jarrah wood is
being tried in the London streets for
paving purposes.

: teypry hard to invent anything new

Z money enough and brains it is less
G|eult, but there are always so many
,upae who have more money and quite
! generous an allowance of brains who
ave done the thing before and done it
much better.
The gastronomic part of the dinner is
nc* considered that is a matter for the
ooo1s but there is much more to good
1lnner than food, although some people
/ wdu deny this and call it absurd. There
= agreat deal in making the diners at
eGDe with one another if they chance to
b strangers, and that cannot be done
by substituting Little Neck CLAIMS for
oysters. But it was done very cleverly
tie other night in this city where some
hight young people Of New York were
10 meet some as clever young people
fErm two other cities.
When they seated themselves they
found . large, square envelope at each
paAte addressed to each of the dinner
pity, and with mutual bows of the
head they opened them with some curl
O1ty and read them with gradually in
sReosimg smiles.
Hnoh note began abruptly as follows:

va, 'sThis is to assist you getting along
ven with the man for girl] on your
light His full 1ame is , and he is
fnfHrested in -, noted for -, talks

followed warning not to speak Of such
md such topics, or to refer to this or
that political, religious or public ques-
ton in terms Of direspect.
OF corsethe notes were at once passed
oa.to%he man ON the right, and so on
arpund the table, and the ice in conse-
quenoe was broken at once. It is just
- wall toremember, however. that the
writer Of the notes should possess great
tact, and not too keen sense of humor,
because the slightest jest which might
offend would be fatal.
The opportunities in the way of din
ner cards and menu cards are vast.
Sometimes they can be made very pleas
ant reading by clever quotations under
the names, which compliment or satirize
the diners, and sometimes they can be
made very valuable by autographs and
skBtches by clever artists.
One man in Philadelphia, who is noted
for this sort of thing, gave dinner to
theatre party who were going to see
Henry Irving, and had the menu cards
made Of photographs of the actor, with
his and Miss Terry's autograph under
meath. At another time he gave din
ner at the Rittenhouse club to dozen
men, on which occasion the menu cards
were printed without punctuation and
in solid block of type, something like
this: "Littleneckclamspea
ifthestewardcannotget tgetwhitebaitbroileds
Observation-Disclosures" etc. The card end
edwith, sCheeseandtheusualsweetthings
acknowledgements"
Some menu cards now have places for
TIE sutographs-of the diners, and some
time during the dinner they are started
around the table with stylographic pens,
and every one present signs his name to
every other persons card until he gets
his own back again.-New York Even

In Respect to Rev. A. II. Sale.

The Great Ruler of the Universe, who
aoeth all things after the counsel Of his
viii, hath in His wisdom seen fit to call
from this world our pastor elect, the Rev.
a. M. Sale Just on the eve Of his installa-
ton, when our hopes were high, and we
were confidently looking forward to the
consumation of union which would be for
the edifcation of the church, the news
flashes over the wires, ''Mr. Sale is dead"
Disappointed, stunned, recoiling from
the dreadful blow, nature would ask. Why,
and wherefore this sad visitation? But,
Grace through the still small voice whispers:
:sBe still and know that am God;" at is
the Lords doing, it is marvellous in our
eyes" "Shali not the Judge Of all the
earth do right?" Be hushed, every doubt
and every murmuring thought. Therefore,
be it resolved:
1. That we bow in meek submission to
Heavens decree, trusting that He 'who
sempers The wind to the shorn lamb, will
remember the sufferers under this affective
dispensation, verify his promise to make
all things work together for our good.
2. That ne hereby tender to the family Of
our deceased brother our heartfelt syupa-
thy: and trust and pray that the God Of the
widow and the fatherless, will ever be their
stay and exceeding great reward.
s. That copy of this paper be sent to
the bsreayed family as an expression Of our
sympathy, an6 also evidence that we suffer
with them in common, though not IN de-
gree: also, that this psper be sent to the
G7ris.sca Observer for publication.
