Phillips Brooks, Choice of /. Profession.

a story is widely quoted that Phillips
Brooks, when about to graduate, went to
the president of Harvard college for advice
regarding the choice of q profession, and
that the president said: sit is well in such
a case to lay aside impossible professions.
Now, on account of the impeachment in
your speech, you could never preach"
This is so good story that it is pity to
spoil it, but after the election of Mr.. Brooks
rs bishop he was asked about its truth.
Il did consult with the president" he an
swered, land he encouraged me to choose
the ministry. He did not tell me 1 could
not preach because of my stammering, be-
cause never did stammer, you know!"
Then he spoke, with some amusement. of
the permanence of such groundless reports,
and said that he had that very week re-
ceived letter from an English boy who
was stammerer, and who begged to know,
for his own sake, how DIR. Brooks had been
cured.
II shall have to tell him that can't helm
him atallV' he concluded, with touch of
regret.-Christian Union.

Pneumatic Caissons.

In building bridge over stream with
sandy bottom it is often necessary to use an
alright cylinder within which men can
work, the water being kept out by forcing
compressed air into the interior. The ma
terial which is eXcavated is removed
through trapdoors in the top, which are so
arranged that the dirt is lifted out without
diminishing the air pressure. Such cylin-
