An Awful Butler.

The Boston Herald, commenting on the
fad prevalent among people of certain
social circles of securing real English
butler,' who is more especially desirable
if he be a cast-Off servant of some noble
family, tells funny story of a lady, a
scion of family prominent in revolu-
tionary annals, who succeeded in out
stripping all of her competitors, and pro-
curing a butler formerly in the service of
Il noble earl. 1t seems that her triumph
was shortlived, and her ancestors
avenged, for the other day she confessed
to her friend, d confidante. who never
tells anything, that "she hadn't eaten
meal in peace since he came into the
house He has such a solemn look on his
face, don't you know, that l can't imagine
what he is thinking about; and, being
used to waiting in the earl's family, you
know, it really scares me to think he may
be thinking about US. Don't tell. dear,
but really, don't think I like noblemen s
servants

Umbrellas for Clergymen.

From the Westminster Review.
In the country districts in Wales a Gus
tom still exists of setting up chest in the
middle of the chancel at the time OF
funeral, and before leaving the church
the mourners all file round and put their
offerings in. This is really intended for
the clergymans fee, but if the people
are poor he often returns part of 1t ito
widOw.)
There is at least one instance that 1t
was customary for the parish to PROVIDE
an umbrella for the use of the clergyman
on public occasions, especially at funerals
The parish accounts of St. Johns, Ches-
tiers, contain the following entries:
1929. Paid Mr., George Marsh for an
Umbrell for the parish use. 90 III 0
1856. Paid for an Umbrell for Mr..
Richardson to read the Burial =
service under .................. v
1t was the general belief that if corpse
was carried over the fields on the way 10
burial it established a public right OF
way forever; hence it became customary
when for convenience, or in some cases
out of necessity, a corpse was taken
across fields or over any private ground.

pins in each gate as the procession Went
through. The pins were accepted by the
owner of the land as a payment for inc
privilege of the. corpse being carrleu
through, and acted as an acknowedmenD
that the right of way was granted only
for the particular occasion.

a Phoephoresoent Trae.

A large willow tree on the bank of Tan
run in t'rankford fell over recently and
developed into a natural curiosity. The
inside of the tree. which has been dead
for several years, was found to be mass
of phosphorescent light known as fox
fire. As darkness came on and the curl
Gus phenomenon was discovered, hundreds
of people gathered, and as many as could
get around the old trunk went to work
with hatchets and knives to secure speci-

A COMING WORK.
Conversations with the Rabbi of
the Boarding House"

This is the title of a work from the
pen of Hon. II. II. Young, of this city,
now in process Of publication by MesSrs.
d. Ramaley IL Son. 1t purports to be a
series of conversational discussions be-
tween company of sixteen Intelligent
ladies and gentlemen on the important
political, ethical and social topics of the
day. The arguments are for and against;
and the writer. although gentleman of
positive convictions, has evidently
aimed at importantly by seeking TO do
justice 10 both sides, and has thus made
an instructive and entertaining work,
against which no charge OF parti-
Sanism can be brought. There is
a vein of quiet humor running through
its pages which, with its clear and con-
else language adds largely to It's at
Effectiveness. 1t may truthfully be said
to be useful and easy reading. Despite
his long experience and high reputation
as an editor, Mr.. Young thought it best
to submit the manuscript of this book to
several of his friends before venturing
upon its publication, and has bad the
satisfaction of hearing it highly COM
mended.
Prof H. E. Phillips says that it is "a
book that everybody ought to read and
can read with pleasure and profit"
of conversations are those of present
and general interest, and their treat
ment is fair, impartial and able"
DR.. K. Ford, agentleman of rec
ogEiZed literary ability, pronounceS it
lone of the purest books ever issued
from the press. The language is chaste
and refined, the characters true ladies
and gentlemen, the sentences unstlted,
and in many respects colloquial models
for writers of the day. among whose
works the Rabbi of the Boarding
House is undoubtedly destined to take
high position. The volume shows
much thought and thorough knowledge
of the leading topics of the times, and
will be heartily appreciated by persons
who have the good fortune to read it.
1t should rank among the ethical and
moral educators of the day."
The print is large, clear type, the
paper OF excellent quality, and the
binding substantial. The publication
will be completed early in August.

} HAVE a LITTLE SCHEME.
The Fire Commissioners Plan to
Meet THE short Fund.

The board of fire commissioners have
decided on plan for reducing the ex-
penditureS of the department., and the
same will be submitted at the next
meeting of the conference committee.
The proposed plan is to take out of serv-
ice Chemical Engine No. 2, at Conway
and Maple streets, and Chemical Engine
No. Tat Payne avenue and York street.
At both houses there are three men
with each piece of apparatus. At No. ?
there is lieutenant at SIT per month,
and two pipemen, one at S72 and the
other at so. At No. there is lieuten-
ant at ST, and two pipemen, one at S72
and the other at SGT. By this the
saving will be about $500 for the
i've remaining months of the year. A
reduction OF 10 per cent in salaries will
save all additional 1850, and. with the
laying off of the head blacksmith and
the closest kind of economy in the mat
ter of supplies and incidentals, enough
will be saved to cut the shortage of
$4,000 down to $4,000 at the end of the
year. The cutting out of the two chem
icalS will leave six firemen to be pro-
vided for. 1t is understood they will be
distributed among the other houses,
with the exception of two, who will for
the time being be OH the outside. The
cut in salaries will include the
chief, two assistants, secretary. super
intendent of fire alarm and all
members of the department with
the exception of the eighteen men
drawing $50 per month. The idea OF the
board is that the reduction will not be
permanent, but the amount will be
made up when the delinquent taxes are
paid in. All the proposed reductions
will still leave a shortage of about
5000, and this amount it is expected
the comptroller will i'll some way pro-
vide for. If this should not be done by
the comptroller, the idea seems to he
that the engine houses will be closed
when the amount available for the de-
7partment is exhausted.

tain some dire misfortune was threat
ened by those CHANGING streamers that
coruscated in the northern sky and shot
trembling athwart the dark heavens.
The phenomenon made its appearance
about O'Clock, or Immediately at night
fall, starting in a vivid and brilliantly
colored and tremulous curtain that rose
Ill segment above the northern hOri-
zOn, waving its violet edges in fitful and
uncertain movements, advancing and
retreating and anon shooting bright
bands of paleSt pink far out into the
sky, as far as the zenith. Then came
from the west what appeared TO be
tieecy, tilmy cloud, den5ely surcharged
with electricity and accompanied bv fit
full flashes of cheat lightning" from the
fog and haze of the horizon. AS this
film spread over the sky, the boreallc
manifestation disappeared from the
north and the entire energy seemed
confined to the darung and drifting
cloud, that had the appearance of a
huge veil OF white crepe spread over
the face of heaven. AS this cloud diff
fused itself, occasionally lighting up as
though with internal fires, the aurora
appeared IN the north, but now with re-
newed color and steadier in its warm
and many-colored glow. 1t seemed as
though half of a huge and glittering
crown had been thrust above the north
ern horizon, while from every point
shot out bright bands of colored light
that now beamed with q steady glow,
and then faded away into indiStinct I'M
dulations of pale and evanescent fires.
Toward midnight the tleecy cloud had
been entirely absorbed. and the cleo
tricaI genii had retreated from the sky
and concentrated their fires and their
forces in the auroral battements of the
north. 1t was a vivid, beautiful, and
wonderful phenomenon, the finest i'll
