Witty Remarks of an Artist.

Kenny Meadows was an artist who was
always welcome at any social gathering,
for he had an infinite fund of quotation
and mother wit. A certain well known
studio pun was his. There had been one
day long talk about fresco and the
palette necessary forit, and the repeated
remark that it needed palette Of earths
quite tired him out.
You talk of ochres," he said, but the
worst of all you haven't named, though
it's the commonest. That's the medi-
ocrep'
Then, said another artist, "you don't
believe in the golden means being the
best Of things?"
INC" said he. I'm divide that with
You. You may take the mean, and I'll
keep the gold"
According to his own telling, his stand
ard of praise was financial one.
"Now dare say you think yourself a
very clever fellow to paint so good a
picture" he said to his friend, William
Bell Scott, who had just completed his
"Old English Ballad Singer" "But it's
nothing to paint picture compared with
what it is TO sell it, When you do that,
I'll congratulate your

The Elephants Sense.

Why an elephant should be afraid Of
mouse Is mystery. Some have
doubted the generosity of the elephant
because of his aversion to small animals.
but none can doubt his intelligence
Button, notwithstanding his idea Of the
mere mechanism of animals, spoke Of
the elephant as at the same time mir
acle Of intelligence and monster Of
matter" Ernest Menault happily re-
ferred to him as the animal that carried
his nose in his hand. Hence the mar
velous intelligence Of his trunk. The
senses Of touch and smell cooperate.
The nerves which extend through his
trunk are 80 numerous that they equal
in number all those distributed over the
rest of the body. The elephant can keep
perfect time to music. He has the ear
perfectly organized. and the hearing is
extremely fine. The eye of the elephant
is distinguished from that of other ami
mails by the pathetic expression of senti-
ment. Take him all in all, naturalists
agree that he is the most intelligent Of
animals And why should he be afraid
of a mouse?-New York Tribune

A few days since the wife of wealthy
man went into IA grocery store where
most of the provisions for the house were
bought. She went in considerable haste
to the proprietor and asked him to loan
her a dollar. Her husband, she said,
had gone down town and forgotten TO
leave her any change, and she must have
little Immediately. She took the bill,
rolled it up and put it into her glove,
then in an undertone said: please
charge that as sugar. My husband
might not like it if l borrowed money"
The man said Certainly and the
woman went out. A customer who was
standing at a little distance but who
was concealed from the lady by pile
Of tea chests smiled to himself and then
smiled at the grocer who came back to
finish filing his order.
Although the grocer said nothing, it
was well understood fact to the Gus
toner, asst is to many other people in
large cities, that this is not an uncom-
mon practice. Men who are liberal
with the families, as far as food and
clothes go, rarely give them a cent for
their own use. They will pay any rea-
sonable bill and many unreasonable
ones, but they pay them in checks and
overlook the bills themselves, then they
fancy they know what becomes of the
money. Such conduct is unwise. If
there is anything i'll the world that has
tendency to drive woman TO under
hand practices it is such lack of conf
dence on the part Of her husband or
father.
A wise way is TO make regular al
lowance for each member of the family.

Suggestions For ChurOhgoers.

The next time your journey leaves you
stranded in the great and delightful city
of New Chicorlladelphia on the Sabbath
day, if you should go to the Church of
st, Indolence-I can recommend it as
having the slowest singing and the soft
est pew cushions with preacher to
match, in the city--you will see the fol-
lowing Suggestions to Worshipers:"
"Fall or slide in the pew nearest the
aisle. Stay there. Do not sit erect, but
lop. Rest one elbow on the arm of the
pew and support the side Of the face
with the outspread palm.
do not rise during the singing Of the
hymns. The fact that you played tennis
or baseball on Saturday afternoon or
walked four or five miles around bill
lard table Saturday night entities you to
little rest on Sabbath morning
Extend your legs as far under the
pew as you can without sliding off the
seat. Gracefully and politely cover your
mouth with your hand while yawning
during the sermon. II the minister is
looking at you, cover the mouth with
both hands, and at the close of the yawn
bring your jaws together with cheer
full snap.
After looking at your watch always
turn your head and gaze longingly and
earnestly toward the door.
"Do not move if stranger, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, at
tempts to enter your pew. Permit them
to climb over your legs, no matter how
much it may annoy you.
do not annoy strangers who may en-
ter the church by looking at them or
even glancing in their direction. If they
really want seat, they will find one
without the intrusive interference of
other people.
"At the close of service remark aloud,
but to yourself, that you are hungry as
a shark and set off for home at brisk
trot. Robert J. Burdette in Sunday
School Times.

Suggestions For Mary Anderson.

Mrs. Mary Anderson-Navarro, some
times known as Our Mary" is writing
book of "reminiscences. If she goes
back far enough and sticks to facts, they
will be highly interesting. She should
tell how DR.. Hamilton Griffin went on
change in St. Louis and scattered tickets
broadcast that the house might be filled.
And she should publish the first opinions
Of the New York critics. Such things
do not in the least reflect on her ultimate
triumph, but merely show her early
pluck and confidence in her own ability.

beginning. York World.

UNITARIAN SERVICES

Opened at Warner Hall Last Evening
 With a DiscourAe by Rev. Charles G.
 Ames of BosSon-God's Plan and the
 Final Perfection of the Universe.
 Rev. Charles G. Ames of Boston opened a series of Unitarian services in Warner hall last evening before large audience. The following was his discourse in part:
 "For more than forty ysars," said he, sI have pondered the problems of destiny, faith and God. And If have arrived at e creed may we'll wish to impart 1t to others. I may begin with the words of Emerson, T accept the universe without any amendments.' And do not believe that we live in Christ, but in we'll ordered universe, and that it vas made to produce race of beings to live in eternal goodness. The world is not therefore @ hospital for diseased souls.
 sI believe that all minds are of one family and that self acquaintance is the only way we can know God. Man is an evidence of God and the best man Is the best evidence of God.
 Thus the more we know our own en- dowments the better we will know God. sef-acquaintance Is revelation of tho divine law of progress It reveals every force which has ever worked in any part of human history All human aspirations, up to date, are little more than infantile cries. But we have at least discovered that we are part of plan which will take immeasurable
 time and resource for it's accomplishment.
 What man is there that has not felt that If
 he could only live longer and have more opportunity for self development. All creeds are faulty; mine is aud many I might criticise are, in that they do not show us our possibilities.
 We are living in the morning of the worlds existence, and We may not know of the glories that are to succeed us Everything points toward final perfection as the completion of Gods plan of the universe and of man."
