Many an interesting anecdote, says the
New York Tribune, is told of DR.. --, a
famous divine, who has now Joined the
great ma GRITTY, and none is more touching
or characteristic than one which was re-
lated of him the other day by a former
member of his church. 1T was always a
great trial to the good doctor that such
large preponderance of his congregation
consisted of fashionable people. Utterly
unworldly himself, he had an immense
contempt for the superficial life led by so
many of his Pensioners, who, neverthe-
less, crowded his church, rather en-
joying the emotions excited by his
fierce denunciations and the frankly,
almost brutally, expressed home-truths
with which they were RECALLED from time
to time 1t was the first Sunday in Lent,
and as DR. - assembled his pulpit and
looked over his congregation with search
ing piercing eyes, before beginning his
sermon, there was a slight stir of antici-
patton in his audience. We shall have
regular TRADE this morning. whispered
my husband; and Mrs. Midas, who was
sitting a few pews in front of me, slightly
shrugged her velvet shoulders, as she
glanced at her nearest neigh Dor. There
was thunder in the air, and no one felt
surprised when in ringing tones that
filled the furthest corner Of the great edi-
fee the denunciatory text was given out
Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees,

lin the pause that followed the
atmosphere seemed more charged with
mental electricity than ever, and the
dominic was evidently Just about to hurl
upon us his fercest invectives, when a
very strange thing happened Old T,
the sexton, must have slumbered at his
post, for into the church and up the
broad middle aisle walked timidly but
trustfuly very little child, who, with
her poverty stricken dress and general
appearance, presented the strongest con
trast TO the richly clad assemblage.
Awake to his duties at last, the sexton
hurried after her, but the uplifted
hand of the rector motioned him
back, and on walked the little
one in utter Inconsistencies, until she
reached the velvet steps of the pulpit
itself whore she paused, and after an in
stants hesitation, sat comfortably down.
An indiscribable change came over the
face Of the preacher, and pushing aside
the manuscript that lay before him, he
looked at us with kindly, benignant eyes.
Suffer little children to come unto me-
he said, softly, and forbid them not, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven and
with demeanor whose gentleness
strongly contrasted with his late indigna-
ton, he preached forgiveness and divine
love and the charity that never faileth."
The hygienic craze has permeated So
ciety to quite an incredible extent saws
the London Herald. 1t has become al
most point of honor with us all to be
slim l have thought the whole matter
out, and, having watched the various
patients of the TWO great doctors who
have made corpulence their special study,
i have come to the conclusion that YOU
must, in this case, as in all others, make
your choice between two evils. 1t is a
question now of face or figure. That the
very stoutest people can decrease their
size by following strict dieteJic rules can
not be doubted, since duke has lost sew
enteen inches of girth and a lady lost two
or three stones in weight in two or three
months but l am sure of one thing, l am
sure it ages the patient, and l would re-
commend any COmely lady of middle age
and fair proportions TO leave the cure
alone. tits only young people just begin
ming TO grow stout who really benefit by
it. II the stretched skin is no longer
filed out it must fall into wrinkles, and
these are distreSsinglV ugly. Shall | give
you the diet which nearly every body has
tried, or IS trying now, and which both
the great doctors recommend, with varia-
tionsa Here it is, copied from diet

sa. m.-Sip three-1uarters Of pint of hot
water.

less saccharin; one Gun e OF dry toast, eight
ounces OF lean meat or fish.

one doctor is more fashionable because he
numbers royalties among his patients,
the other charges only four stead of
twenty-five guineas. Both allow you to
drink at meal times. which is something
of concession. have heard many peo-
pie say that not to drink at meal times is
in itself a cure for stoutness. Several
people, among them q very pretty, smart

And this, says the Boston Post, is the
conversation l heard between two Rad
cliffe college girls the other day in an
electric car. They wore glasses and
looked intellectual Said one: 'The
