MI INrERNsrrNG SCHEME.

According to the Waterbury Republl can, an interesting incident occurred in connection with the senate proposi- ton to tackle Brother Mason. It was not the original intention to order an investigation. The programme which had been mapped out by those who took the initiative in the matter was to have an investigation resolution in- troduced, thus giving everybody an op- portunity to get a whack at the offend Ing clergyman, and then to reject the resolution on the ground that the charges were not worth noticing and -tllat the senate would lower it's dignity by Investigating Brother Mason. But either an insufficient number of sena- tors had been coached as to the pro gramme or else they became sooenthu- siastic in their indignation that they couldn't refrain from voting for the resolution.
 This Is interesting if true, and likely it is true. The scheme had it's merits, and there Is some reason to regret that it didn't work. Can't the matter now be reopened, Brother Mason be ''sassed" according to the original pro- gram, and the dignity of the senate be asserted and maintained? This would be better than to hold a perfunctory and incomplete investigation, or to fill the prisons of the State with those who have as much contempt of the as the Sarshelds used to have of the Emmetts.

lovely combination for summer wear, and never were light silks in closely run, alternate stripes of black and white more popular than now. Charm ing variations are made by combining skirts of the silk with black chiffon bodices trimmed with narrow runnings of white lace. One very stylish exam pie had bodice of black chiffon cov- cred with rows, of horizontally set white lace, and the effect was at once unique and charming
 A tiny and faint figure of color in white goods generally adds daintiness to it, fact that seems to have i'm pressed itself on manufacturers this season, for such fabrics are very album dant. They make up very prettily and are especially attractive when nRde to display some new feature of cut or ac- cessory. A dress is shown herewith made from white batiste figured with pale blue. Its skirt may be lined with white satin. or lining and batiste can form two skirts, the former being lit- tie shorter than the latter. The bodice has fitted lining and hooks in the back, the batiste being draped in rich folds and forming a bow near the shoulders at the corners of the cut-out. The 1880 sleeves are tucked at the top and the garntture consists of pale blue satin rib bon. Though simply made of inexpe&- siVe stuffs, this dress is very attractive, being at once cool and stylish, the low neck and tightly fitted shoulders stamp ing it as of the newest. FLORETTE.

ToIstoi and the Censorship.

It appears that the Russian censors stand in much greater fear of Tolstoi than he does of them. They begin to tremble as soon, as they learn he is med itating a new book. Tn making up their minds whether the work of the greatest Russian writer is to be placed under their ban, they have now to con- slider, not only what people will say in Russia, but also what people will think in Europe. When the 'Kreutzer Sona- ta' was prohibited, TolstoPs wife, 1t IS said, went in person to the czar and lodged a complaint. Alexander III. re- ceived the countess very graciously, re-. moved the ban, and declared that in the future he would himself act as cen sor of Tolstoi's books, adding, with q smile, that he would be "very lenient." On the completion of the "The King dom of God,' however, it was resolved to publish the book abroad, doubtless from sense that it's contents were much too strong for any leniency to tolerate. How things will go on under the new regime remains to be seem Westminster Gazette.

many cases it has been customary to
 regard 1t as equal to shilling. Thus
 1t came about that the most common
 French book, marked 3fr. soc, cost the
 purchaser 3s. 6d., or, in reality, Afr. BOG
 Naturally, this curious transformation
 did not strike the buyer as being justi-
 fled even by the admirable facilitation of exchange operations which 1t no
 doubt involved. He was, therefore, fain to supply his wants at those estab- lishments which confne themselves to the sale of foreign literature. Even among these, however no uniform sys- tenn of pricing French books seems to prevail. Thus, while one well-lSnown French house i'm London that also does a large publishing trade charges 2s. Sd. for most Sfr, soc. books, and 2s. Cd. if they are It's own publications, some oth- CT foreign firms estimate the franc at somewhat higher rates. The new ar between English firms doing business in French books Is intended to cope, to some extent, with this for eign competition" The old principle that Q franc equalled a shilling will now be abolished, and the English price will be brought into a little closer relation ship with that marked on the cover.- Westminster Gazette.

1 thenceforward the satirist and the lady
 continued a warm friendship.
 The prompt wit of the late Lord Bea-
 consfield is well known. On one ocea-
 sion when he was member for Bucks, he
 presided at the annual dinner of the County Agricultural society at Ayles- bury Among the company was far
 mer in the neighborhood, a son of the
 Emerald Isle and red-hot Radical. The commencement of MT Disraeli's speeches was frequently charqcterized
 by an almost painful hesitation, and on
 this occasion the faltering was even
 more noticeable than usual, but the restless eyes were very bright, and the master of fence was ready with parry or point. Speak up," cried the Irish man; "get on faster" He had fallen into the trap. "Wait, my friend" said the member, Lit takes some time to bring my ideas down to yours" Many anecdotes, more or less apocryphal, have been current as to the wit of the late Rev. c. H. Sturgeon. One, how ever. which is perfectly authentic, is characteristic of the man. On one oc- casion he was much annoyed by three young men, who persisted in wearing their hats. He appeared for the time not to notice them, but proceeded to tell his audience of visit he had paid to Jewish synagogue. "When en- tered" he said, q took off my hat, but was informed that the great mark of respect was to keep 1t on. did soy though can assure you I felt very strange wearing my hat in place of worship. And now, as paid this mark of respect to the synagogue, may I ask those three Jews in the gallery to con- form equally with our rules and kindly uncover their heads?" The men col lapsed.
 A capital story is told of time when much irritation had been aroused in the world of art'-this, 1t need hardly be said, was in the Hang syne''-as to how ."the oracle had been worked by the Scotsmen' on the hanging committee of CT, R. A., and David Wilkie, who were both on the committee, were walking round one of the rooms, when Wilkie commenced thus: 'Hey, moo, there's grand place for Fraser, and wonder one will do for Geddes. Then we'll hae Roobarts there and Johnstoun-oh, we'll pit ;Johnstoun here! And" What do they call this room?" asked Cooper, cutting his companion short. Hey, mon, they just ca it the west room" "oh," said Cooper, T thought perhaps the public would be calling it Scotland Yard if you went on at that rate" Willsie was dreadfully exer- cised at what he called the affront on him and his forbears.
