NIaterinlism Against wit.

Some things of course in the French
display-cspccially of pottery and
bromzcs-are purely decorative, and some
of the visitors of course are destitute of
taste. The consequences that occasion
ally Il person will come along who will
gaze at objects of transccndent artistic
merit with no feeling but one Of mystery
and curiosity. So it happened the other
day, when a simple minded woman
stopped for awhile in front of one of q
pair of vases 5 feet high, the price of
which is $1,000
She gazed at it attentively for few
moments and then said dryly to M. Me-
laile, who stood by, pray, what is that
for?"
The Frenchman took her measure at a
glance and replied with elaborate polite
ness, THAT Is intended to boil eggs in,

TIE TABLE.

when recently fair girl graduate was
done honor i'll the most tclSpting OF
breakfasts we who were present at the
feast felt that even a broiling temper
allure was abated and the ills of the
outer world We're really if not quite for
gotten.
There were 12 guests, who, together
with the hostess and her sweet daugh-
ter, made the number just 14-not too
many for one large round table, and yet
81 party large enough to admit of tete-a-
tetes if any We're so minded. At half
past II the guests assembled in the de-
lightful reception room of the suburban
home. Not one of them remembered to
be warm.
The breakfast room was simple in the
extreme, but it had one large bay win
dow and commanded view that was
itself sufficient decoration. The table,
as l said before, was round. The young
woman i'll whose honor we were hidden
was dressed i'll pure, dainty white.
The feast itself was just what q
breakfast ought to be and included leo
cold fruit, dainty made dishes, tempting
ices and the like. But the decorations
and the favors, which were arranged by
the sweet girl herself, gave the distin-
gushing touch and separated this break
fast from dozens of its kind.

Hints About Driving.

When driving, You must watch the
road. Turn out for stones, SO that the
horse shall not stumble nor the wheels
jolt over them; avoid the mudholes
and places where the going is bad let
the horse slacken speed when the road
becomes heavy, and if you want to make
up time do it where the ground slightly
descends.
1t is a common mistake to think that
horse can haul carriage easily on the
level. On such IL road he has to be pull
ing every moment; there is no rest.
Whereas when the road now rises and
now falls the weight is taken off him at
times, and he has ~ chance to recover
his wind and to rest his muscles. AS
between level road in valley and M
up and down road over the hills, the lat
ter is by far the easier for q horse to
travel. When you come to n long level
stretch, let your horse walk bit in the
middle of it,
Almost everybody knows that for the
first few miles after coming out of the
stable a horse should be driven slowly,
and especially if he has just been fed.
On IL journey it is of the utmost impor-
lance to observe this rule. BE careful,
however, not to check II young nag too
quickly when he comes fresh out of the
stable. Give him his head, talk to him
soothingly, and presently he will come
down TO Il moderate pace. If YOU pull
him up at once, you vcX him extremely,
SO much SO that he is not unlikely to
kick.-Harper' 5 Young People

When Booth Saved Youn:; IincoIn's Life.
1t was at Bowling Green, Ky. during
the summer of 1871. Edwin Booth stood
upon Il platform waiting for Il train; so,
too, did Il man unknown to the actor.
Buried in thought, this stranger left the
platform TO walk upon the track, not
noticing a>l approaching engine. One
moment more and there would have been
an indistinguishable corpse. Silently,
suddenly, Edwin Booth seized this
stranger and lifted him almost bodily
upon the platform. So close came the
engine that it struck tie strangers heels
as they left the track. do you know
who that man Isl asked Mr.. Ford, the
well known manager of Baltimore, who
witnessed the thrilling scene.
No replied Booth.

RECTOR GRAY RESIGNS.
He Accepts Call to St. Paul's, Los
Angeles.

=
Rev. John Gray, rector OF the Church of
the Advent, will tender his resignation to
the wardens and vestry of the parish at
their meeting this evening. Mr.. Gray re-
ceived call on Monday last from ST.
PauPs Church. Los Angeles, aud expects
to leave for the southern city next month.
Speaking to CALL reporter last even
ing. Mr.. Gray said:
''Yes, it is true that intend presenting
my resignation tomorrow night. Mr..
DobsOn, the senior warden, has implOred
me OF 10 take the step, but | see no way
to avoid it. My general reason for resign
ing is that 1t is for the best in terests of the
parish. Owing to illness in my family
cannot give it the attention which it re-
Qures.
at is mixed congregation demanding
much work, while st. PauPs, Los Angeles,
is wealthy and aristocratic congregation.
My controlling reason for resigning is the
Ill health of my little boy. who is affected
with spin al disease, and the doctors say
he must be put where he can get the fresh
air. The call TO Los Angeles is only for a
year. Ii after that time my son is no bet
ter shall be obliged to go East with him.
mo, there is no dissension or trouble of
any kind in the Church of the Advent
The relations of the rector and the vestry
are of the most cordial character, complete
accord reigns between them. The parish
owes nothing except to its treasurer. The
sum Is quite heavy, but there is no anxiety
felt on that account My little boys sick
ness is the cause of my resgning, and God
grant that the step which | am taking will
be the means of restoring my darling one
to health and strength"
