A I.udicrous interruption.

A I.ud1cr0us Interruption.
One of our western dioceses is presided
over by bishop distinguished for his elo-
auence and earnestness. 1t is his habit
Is he approaches the end of q sermon to
:lose his manuscript and finish his dis
sourse by an extemporaneous appeal to the
.onsciences Of his hearers.
On the occasion of one of his visits to q
pioneer settlement in his jurisdiction he
conducted service in a school house, which
stood upon beautiful uninclosed COM
mon, on which ranged at will the cattle of
the neighborhood.
1t was beautiful Sunday afternoon in
June, warm but breezy. and by no means
oppressive. The neat white school house
was we'll filled with an attentive audience,
and all the windows-which reached near
II to the ground-were raised In order to
admit free circulation of air. Among
the cattle that had collected ON the shady
side of the school house was q rough look
ing but venerable and sober donkey.
The donkey remained quiet and con-
tainted ntynr one Of the side windows. beside
the bishop. during the reading Of the
service. ~ :
The bishop ended his discourse and
preached an impressive sermon, and a. wa

exhortation he closed his manuscript

Looking attentively around his congrega
tion and waiting for an instant until there
was perfect silence, he said in deep, low
and impressive tone:
"And now, beloved, what think you Of
these things?"
The words We're scarcely out Of his
mouth when the donkey thrust his head
through the open window and gave one Of
those horrid. terrible, unearthly screams
that no creature but one of his kind can
give, and of which no words can convey an
adequate idea.
The bishop, though man Of GOODNESS,
was very much Hurried. His face turned
all colors and he could not utter word,
while the congregation stuffed their prayer
books handkerchiefs and hands into their
mouths in order to keep back o universal
exhibition Of laughter.
The boys and girls laughed outright.
Very soon, however. perfect silence pre-
vailed again and the bishop, biting his
lips, commenced in solemn and deep tone:
II say. my brethren, what think you OF
these thingsS"
Once more, at the very instant, came the
terrible deafening screech of the melan.

1t appears from Columbus diary
that his wife's mother was staying
at his house just before he began
to think seriously Of making his
great voyage Of discovery. This
proves nothing, however, and news
paper scribblers have no right to
insinuate that Christopher started
any sooner on account of that
estimable lady. Indeed, she may
have encouraged him in his great
schemes.

DEMANDED CARDAMOM SEEDS.

But the Commissioner of Agriculture Did
Not Have Them on Hand.
Ben LIE Fevre, of New York, has been
the hero of many an anecdote, but new
err of more amusing tale than one
in connection with the department OF
agriculture. On one occasion before il
was converted into cabinet depart
ment and was still only commission,
LIE Fevre went to the commissioner an6
preferred a request for some seeds.
''What kind of seeds?' he was asked.
Now, whether or not LIE Fevre really
knew what he wanted when he started
has always been a question, but at oil
events when the commissioner asked
him he didn't have very clear idea OF
what he had been sent for. However.
the kind of seeds he was most familiar
with was cardamom seeds, and he
promptly told the commissioner that
they were what he wanted.
"Cardamom Seeds" said the nnso-
phisticated commissioner. What kind
of seeds are those, anyhow? Who wants
them? What are they for?''
"For congressman" LIE Fevre re-
piled. The commissioner didn't know
much about cardamom seeds, but he
ordered up the man who ought to have
the cardamom seeds if there were any.
They wrestled with The subject for
some time while LIE Fevre sat demure-
ly in the corner. Finally the commits.
sioner gravely informed him that the
commission had none on hand and were
not prepared to supply them just then.
Whereupon LIE Fevre vowed it was
queer agricultural department that
didn't keep cardamom seeds, and went
off to the capitol where inside of few
hours an Investigation was ordered tc
look into the matter. There was
good deal of joking first and last over
the cardamom seed committee, but they
held no meetings that anyone ever
knew of-Kate File Ids Washington.

FOR THE DAINTY HOSTESS.

The young hostess who is DESTROYS of

doubt be highly pleased with her En-

"green tea" 1t is as simple as it is
pretty, and quite effective, so far as
table decorations are considered. 1t
consists of jardiniere of maidenhair
ferns, which occupy the center of the
table; around this fern leaves are
carelessly but gracefully arranged,
and outside of this circle of ferns
India silk, of delicate green, is so ar
ranged as to form second circle. At
diagonal cothers are placed candelabra
containing green candles and finished
with tiny green shades. At one end of
the table coffee is poured, at the other
chocolate is served, the attendants
wearing gowns of green; sandwiches
tied with baby green ribbon, pistache
and vanilla ice cream in pretty forms,

THE KINGS DWARFS WE'D.
A Marriage That Took Place With Regal

Little Gibson was at the christening
and saw the small Anne decked out in
great splendor, and, although he was
still rather young to think of matri.
mony, he fell in love with her then and
there. The affection was returned, anG
in due course the king and queen gave
their consent to the marriage of the
two dwarfs.
Great preparations were made for
this wedding, which was cele brated in
the chapel of the palace of st. James,
and every body who was anybody at
all was hidden to the ceremony. Hen
rietta Maria, who, in more senses than
one, was the reigning beauty of the
British court, took great interest in the
festivities, and arrayed herself in all
her splendor and loneliness to bestow
her blessing on the little pair.
The little bride looked charming in
white satin dress with very long
train, while the tiny groom wore a
white satin waistcoat with trimmings
of satin. His hose and bree ches were
of white silk, and diamond buckles
sparkled in his tiny shoes. The dwarfs
were dainty pair, and created SEN
sation as they stood before the clergy
man exchanging their vows. King
Charles, very handsome, very graceful,
and looking every inch a king, gave
away the ride.-St. Nicholas

And now, not one.

With the morning sun.
Do they ever mink of the empty nest?

Like the little robins that sang all day
IL the dear old tree where we used to play,
In the long ago.
And think OF the songs the children sung,
With q stifled sigh;
And the walls where the pictured faces hung;
know not why,
But dream Of the empty cradle there,
The old time clock the rocking chair,
Where we knelt to lisp the evening prayer
In the days gone by.
And the blooming flowers, and droning bees
