A sense of humor has never been q
bar to ecclesiastical preferment, and,
indeed, it sometimes happens that dig
nitaries of the church are famous for
their witticisms. This is the case with
a certain clergyman of the Church OF
England, a man of Irish birth. who
was lately raised to an exalted bish-
opric.
Accompanying his appointment.
there was certain readjustment oil
employments and preferments in the
diocese, and with it came few promo
tions.
At this time the new bishop was WIS.,
tied by q curate whose manners and
services had not commended him to
his ecclesiastical superiors, and who
thought that his time had now come
to make decided push for "living"
that is, the charge of q parish.
We'll, my lord" said the curate I;
snow that it's raining livings, what are
you going to give me?"
Il can lend you an umbrella" said
the bishop, coolly.
The curate departed without his pre-
ferment. Youths Companion.

sagacious Monster.

Arthur Clay sends to the London
Spectator the following instance of the
sagacity of the elephant. 1t was told
me, ne says, by Mr.. Quay-at the time
a commissioned officer in the First
Battalion of the Sixteenth Rifles, but
now one of her Majesty's yoemen of the
guard. In 1853 his regiment was
marching from Peshawur to Kopulvie,
and was accompanied by train of ele-
plants. 1t was the duty of the mahout
In charge of each elephant to prepare
twenty chupatties or fiat cakes made
of coarse -four, for his charge. When
the twenty chupatties were ready they
were placed before the elephant, who,
during the process of counting, never
attempted to touch one of them until
the full number was completed. On
the occasion related by Mr.. Quay one
of the elephants had seized the oppor-
tunity of his mahout's attention being
distracted for a moment to steal and
swallow one of the chupatties. When
the lmahout, having finished the pre-
paration, began to count them out no
OF course discovered the theft and pre-
sented his charge with nineteen in
place Of the usual number. sThe ele.
plant instantly appreciated the fact
of there being one less than he had a
right to expect, and refused to touch
them, expressing his indignation by
loud trumpetings. This brought the
conductor of the elephant line
with whom Mr.. Quay had been in
conversation on the scene. Having
heard the explanation of the mahout,
the conductor decided that the mahcnt
was in fault for not keeping q better
lookout, and ordered him to provide
the twentieth cake at his own cost.
When this was prepared and added to
the pile the elephant at once accepted
and ate them.

WHEN young man, the late Charles
Bradlaugh was strong believer in
Christianity, and member of Bible
class in the parish Sunday school
While thus studying the Bible, he
came across one or two apparent con-
tradictions, and went to the rector for
light. But the rector was stern man
of the old school, and, instead of help
ing the young man out'of his difficulty,
rebuked him severely for daring to find
any difficulty il Gods book, and ad-
vised him to believe everything he
read in it without asking any questions.
The advice was we'll meant, but it was
the worst that could have been given
in this particular case. The young
man at once quit studying the Bible or
believing in it, and the rest of his ca
reer is known to the world.

Fanny and the Baby Pigs.

It was very frosty morning, and
William came In with two poor little
pigs that were almost stiff with the
cold.
They had come some time in the
mother had gone off and left them in
the long grass, where William had
found them.
They were too cold and weak even
TO squeal, and, although we thought
there was not the slightest chance of
their living, we put them in a bushe1
basket by the kitchen stove and covered
them over with piece of carpet.
By and-by they got warm and began
to make themselves heard, and have
no doubt they thought (pigs do think
they had come into a selfish, stingy
world, for they seemed to be trying to
make MS understand that thoy were
very hungry.
We had hard work to keep one little
fellow in the basket, for he became so
desperate he would jump out and run
around the floor.
William owned q lovely spaniel.
Fannie her name was, and she had
three of the latest, curliest little pup
pies about six weeks old.
Fannie came into the kitchen. and
when she heard the baby pigs squeal-
ing she was greatly distressed. She
walked around the basket, sticking her
nose in, and giving them an affection
ate kiss now and then.
Seeing this, her master said:
"Now, Fannie. these little pigs have
no mother, and they are just starving,
and you must give them some dinner"
So he made her lie down on the floor
and gave her the two hungry strangers,
and a more comical sight you never
saw than pretty Fannie nursing those
tiny white and liver spotted pigs.
She licked them all over while they
took their dinner, and when their hun
ger was satisfied they went to sleep.
J. think Fannie ought to have q medal
for her kind-heartedness, for am sure
she knew they were not puppies; any
way, she knew they did not be.ong ia

in case some have not, will briefly
describe it. Take q board three feet
long by ten inches wide, hinge to one
end piece one foot in length and Sc
cure it by hooks and eyes so that the
two will stand upon the floor. Cut q
hole in the slope about five inches
cquare and three inches from the top.
That is your target; now for the
ammunition. Have ten square red
cotton bags prepared just large enough
to hold half a pint of beans comfort
ably, and one Of yellow cotton capable
II holding q whole pint. The latter is
appropriately known as Jumbo. Place
O. mat on the floor five yards or more
sway from the board.
The players in turn take their stand
upon the mat and try to throw the
bags through the hole in the slope.
Each red one that goes through counts
5. Jumbo is good for 10. II bag
stays on the board IL counts nothing.

gether points must be deducted.
This is the accepted method Of scor-
ing, but there is nothing to prevent its
being modified In any way thought at.
Sides should be chosen and scorces
carefully kept in order 10 have the
