Old English Tavern Customs.

The custom of naming different rooms is
familiar TO all who have read our Eliza
bethan writers. Who does not at once re-
call those immortal scenes at the "Boar's
Head" in which that magnificent old
scoundrel Jack Falstaff played so promi-
nent part? How the madcap prince and
companion Poins SO sadly perplexed the
unfortunate Francis with his everlasting
"Anon, anon, SIR" and his interjectcd or
ders to Lock down into the Pomegran-
ate" It was customary, il seems, TO have
small windows or loopholes between the
various apartments, for what reason it
were perhaps hard to say, unless to facili-
tate that interchange Of compliments Gus
tomary between parties who were using
different chambers in the same tavern.
These courtesies usually took the form
of the present of piece of sugar wrapped
up in white paper, which the walters kept
ready to hand. Our forefathers were fond of
correcting the acidity of their wine by this
addition, and it was quite the correct
thing TO send by the drawer one Of these
packets to the neighborng apartments If
any friends or acquaintances were there

And the evening light on the old brick chin

There in the ancient attic, under the garment
hung beams,
Children dreamed. in tho herb scented air, no
end of waking dreams
or those who had sat in the high back chairs,
clad in comical things;
OF the plated shoe buckles, the spinning wheel,
tho fiddle devoid OF strings;
As In the helmet, and crazy calash. and bonnets
wonderfully made,
shey danced about on the nut strewn floor In
half frightened masquerade.
At night. snugly tucked in trundle bed. their
sleepy eyes would rove
Where the moonlight glimmered on warm
ing pan or revealed an old footstove.
No furnace then in the meeting house, and OF
footstoves there was need
For those who co.ldnt keep warm enough by
hearing the Calvin creed.
And in the cedar rooted garret. they heard the
elect on the dormer pane,
Or listened. in dreamy, lazy content. to the
whisper and patter Of rain;
Then slept till they heard from the barnyard
the morning challenge shrill.
And the distant ROSTERS answers we're drown

A WIZARD WITH THE GUN,
willing to shoot any Man I'm the World
for the Championship and Money.

Prof. Loris. the champion wing shot
Is the most wonderful riflo and pistol trick
shot now before the public.
Loris was born In Greece on January "a,
1868. He stands II. 10 IN. In height,
weighs $50 pounds. Professor Loris's ca
reer as q rifle shot began when he was
but ten years OF age. Al that timo he
evinced desire to become proficient In
the handling Of firearms and was pro-
sented with toy rifle. Revolvers wore
his hobby, and he was not long IN exceed
ing all around him In fancy shooting. He
has defeated all the so-caled fancy shots
OF the country. He has tho reputation o:
being able TO break more glass balls with
n revolver than any other man can with a
shotgun. Every theatre In which he has
appeared has witnessed his victories over
his antagonists with their own weapon.
One exceedingly dangerous feat hc per-
forms is shooting visiting card when It
is held with the edge toward him, but his
bicycle act is the only successful ono Of
the kind ever attempted. He rides at full
speed upon fifty-six-inch upright ma
chine and breaks glass balls, shoots apples
placed on the head OF an assistant, and
while riding cen shoot anything thrown
In the air.
A clever feat performed recently by Mr..
Lorls was taking card and making a
mark upon 1t up the length OF six cart
ridges, and then shooting at 1t with the
six cartridges, hitting 1t in such manner
as TO completely obiterate the mark.
He places the shell OF n 22-caiibre cart
ridge on watch and shoots off the shell
while standing at ten PAGES, the watch
being held by an assistant. He shoots
pennies thrown in the air with a rIie.
making 30 out of 100. He places a life f!-
teen PAGES from where he stands then
places an apple on his head. He then uses
another rife and shoots at the trigger Of
the rifle placed In front Of him, and when
the ball strikes the trigger the rifc In
front OF him shoots the apple from his
head. One shot Loris performs eclipses
any feat of shooting ever witnessed.

our Church Toward It." The speaker
said the Bible should be studied critically
if we would study IL honestly. Among
the higher critics so called there are TWO
classes, the constructive and the destruc-
tive critics. There is nothing To be feared
from the constructive type of criticism,
and the destructive type Is continually
destroying itself.
The question raised by New Testament
critics are easily answered. Destructive
criticism seems To have had its day. The
Universalist church may we'll take an ex-
pectant and hopeful attitude in regard To
future criticism.
The address was followed by general
discussion which was participated in by
different delegates. At the conclusion of
the session an informal social was held,
followed by supper served in the church
parlors, by the u. q. III. >.
The church was crowded in the evening
to listen To carefully prepared address
by DIR. Rugg, on What kind of preach
ing our Church Needs To-day" The
speaker said that preaching was a divine
ly appointed method of the diffusion of
Gods word throughout the world, and
the question arises, What character Of
preaching do we need, and by what
methods should it be applied. The
speaker divided his subject into five
heads, as follows:
First. 1t should be preaching of the
highest religious truth.
Second. IL should be positive construc-
tive preaching.
Third. Ii should be preaching to cheer
Fourth. The minister should hold up
the ideals of life, should represent the
best things in human living and put
Christ as our exemplar and guide, TO the
foreground and, lastly, the kind of
preaching needed is TO stir people to work.
