 in the month of May, iSSg there was an evening party in Berkeley square, and in the early part of the day Lord Rosebery had met in Piccadilly a Scotch farmer with whom he had some ac- Quaintauce, and he asked his friend to "look in in the course of the night. The farmer duly presented himself In something that resembled his idea of all evening dress. All went well until the Scotchman got into the supper room, and after eating variety of delieacies he lighted on an ice cream-a form of nourishmeut that was new to him. Hav- ing taken a large spoonful he managed to conceal his discomfort. But seeing his host be thought it his duty to inform him of what had taken place, "l don't suppose you know, my lord he loudly whispered, but l think l ought to tell you-there has been a mistake some where and this puddug's frozc.
 Lord Rosebery grasped the situation in moment. With perfect courtesy and wiJh 8 pretty appearance of critical inquiry, he tasted the ice cream. 'So 1t is," he said; that's very strange. !" And then. after speaking to one of the servants. he returned and said Co the Scotch farmer; Its oil right am told that this is a new kind of pudding they freeze on purpose, and taking his friends arm led him out of the room. = u.

Americans who chance to receive let. ters from Russia arc usually surprised to find the foreign postage stamp on their envelope used as a seal-afnxed. that is to say, to the center of the side opposite to that on which the address is written. Sometimes Russians settling in the United States continue the prac- tice acquired at home. much, of course. to the annoyance of United States post office officials. X case of this kind oc- cured recently in New York state, but it was explained quite inadequately by a writer who alleged that the colouists sealed their letters with the postage stamps because communications from the United States were usually opened in the Russian postofices before being delivered. As a matter of fact the habit is diffused all through Russia. and sim ply means that dis,rust of the imperial postoffice in that country is widespread. Free Russia.

their minds and energies should be all
intent upon swelling the appropriation
bills for the benefit of the ''deestricks."
Yet there is some likelihood Of some
thing like that happening, for in their
new chaplain, Rev. Edward B. Bagby,
the representatives have chosen a min
lister who has made a special study of how
to reach and soften the obdurate hearts
of men.
The work of the chaplain in the house,
it is true, is limited to opening the daily
sessions with prayer, but there is at least
a chance of his words falling on good
soil, like some of the seed in the parable
of the sower. Mr.. Bagby has already
gained favor by making his prayers
short, which generally pleases congress
men, and there is no knowing but what,
pleased with his brevity, they may be
touched by his fervor and come to real
ize that that there is something in re-
ligion after all.
Pleasantly aside, however, Mr.. Bagby,
though a young man, is an earnest and
efficient worker in the ministry. He is
the pastor of the Ninth Street Christian
church in Washington, where in the past
two years he has built up n of the
strongest congregations in the capital.
He is a Virginian by birth and only %
years old, but was educated at the Uni
versity of Kentucky and took the Yale
degree of bachelor of divinity.
He preached among the mountains of
West Virginia and at Newport News be-
fore going to Washington and spent q
year or more laboring as an evangelist.
1t was in this capacity that he first went
to the Ninth Street church, where his
preaching was so effective that he was
invited to accept the ~pastorate. His
church now numbers over 100 members,
and he is especially popular with young
people.

that term he served as chairman of the
finance committee, and on his retirement
was appointed special agent of the treas
ury by President Arthur, afterward serv-
ing as deputy city clerk under Hermann

In 1887, when John A. Roche was

in which he made a reputation for activ-

Mr.. Swift is q native of Cincinnati
and was born Nov. IA, 1S46. During his
infancy his parents removed to Galena,

he went to Chicago seeking an education.
He attended the Skinner school and the
