Canvas. Orators.

Humorous, If trifie unkind, was the
orator, who, when describing the in
ordinate love of praise which character
ized an opponent. said, lie is so fond
Of being praised that really believe he
would be content to give up the ghost if
it We're but to look up and read the
stonecutter's puff ON his tombstone :"
This is in striking contrast to the graceful
and witty compliment paid to the beau
tiful Duchess of Devonshire and her
sister, Lady Duncannon. of whom, when
they canvassed the electors of West
minister on behalf of Fox in 1884, it was
said that never did two such lovely
portraits appear on canvas. London

Bishop Phillips Brooks deyotes hardly
more time TO the composition Of his SER
mons than did the late Henry Ward
Beecher. Nr. Beecher used sometimes
to delay that essential proceeding till
Sunday morning after breakfast, and on
occasions, when in the pulpit he would
discard the material thus prepared for a
new idea that had struck him after the
services had begun. Bishop Brooks de-
votes an hour or two during the week to
thinking about the text he has selected
for use ON the approaching Sunday, and
hunts up few references. but he makes
no notes and does not even touch his
pen TO paper for that pu' s,ose. But
when he is in the pulpit his discourse
flows from his lips without hesitation,
and with a rapidity that strains the atten.
ton of the congregation TO the utmost.
His tendency then is to preach beyond
the limit of time set for his sermons

A sea water bath in our own homes has
long been a commonplace privilege, but
now we are approaching a day when the
ingenuity of man will make possible that
trinity of luxuries-the salt water, the
sea mir and the glorious sunburn after
it, nil within ones own bathroom, for
the new electric light bath browns the
complexion of the bather while it in

where the Grand river tumblss over the
