rich the Church.
In small town in the Midlands there
is rich congregation which is not
characterized by lavish liberality.
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to CON
tribute more generously to the funds of
the church. The members would,
indeed, give something, but it was
nearly always the smallest silver coin of
the realm that was placed on the plate.
A shrewd Scotchman who had re-
Gently come TO the place and Joined the
church was not long in noticing this
state of affairs, and a remedy soon sug-
gested itself to his practical mind.
'Tll tell you what" he said TO one of
the officials. "lf you max me treasurer
I'll engage to double the collections in
three months"
His offer was promptly accepted, says
It'd Bits, and sure enough the collec-
tons began to increase, until by the
time he had stated they were nearly
twice as much as formerly.
"How have you managed il, Mr.,
sSandyman 2" said the pastor to him one
day.
Its great secret" returned the
canny Scot, "but I'll tell you in CON
tidence. The folk | saw maistly gave

GLADSTONE AND rnE oUnEM.

Her Majesty Desires the Premier to Make
an Appeal TO the Country OH the Re-
jeoted Home Kule Blll.
Sir Henry Punsonby, the Queen's
private secretary, had an interview with
MIR. Gladstone, Saturday morning. The
interview was held upon the suggestion
of Mr.. Gladstone. At its conclusion,
Sir Henry Ponsonby departed with a
communication to the Queen indicating
Mr. Gladstcne's future plans concerning
the Home Rule bill. Cablegrams state
that the Queen desires Mr.. Gladstone to
appeal Immediately to the country. II
is understood that Mr.. Gladstone in his
note TO the Queen has intimated his in
tentlon not to appeal to the country at
TINS time, but has announced the readi-
ness of the cabinet to submit to the
royal prerogative to dismiss the minis
tiers, if she chooses to exercise il. 1t is
not expected, however, that the Queen
will expose the throne TO the criticisms
now directed against the House of Lords
for its rejection Uf the bill. A large por-
ton of the Tory party, ii is said, is eX-
pecting the Queen to take this step.
The vote recorded against the Home
Rule bill in the House OF Lords was the
highest noted in the history of Parlia-
ment for or against any measure. The
nearest approach to it was in 1916, when
$40 votes were counted in favor of re-
pealnB the Corn laws. When Home
Rule was rejected there was larger
attendance OF Lords in the upper House
than had been seen there before. The
canlegrams comment on the remarkable
incident that many Lords came to Lon
don to vote against the measure who
had never before ever seen the inside OF
the House. Fifty signed the roll for the
first time before voting 10 render the
duty OF attendance less irksome, some
90 or 90 Peers stayed in the refreshment
and smoking rooms during the debate.

staurant Of the House unsuitable to
their tastes, had their own cooks, wines
and meats brought in for the occasi On.
In February the bill will be Introduced

there Is an unexpected revolution of
sentiment in that body in the interval, ii
will again reject it. The Commons this
week VIII devote themselves 10 supply.
Mr.. u. w. Smalley, the correspondent
OF the New York Tribune, thinks the
high quality of the Lords debating
power has been illustrated in the past
weeks discussions" He says: moth.
ing has been finer in oratorlcal dialect-
cal display than the speeches of the
Duke of Devonshire, the Duke Of
Argyll, Lord Seiboruc, Lord Roseberry
ana Lord Salisbury. 1t was unfortunate
Tor the government party that for every
one who could support the Home Rule
Dill the Opposition had three speakers
against it; nor can it be denied that the
weight Of argument is entirely on the
side OF the Opposition.
