Mr.. William Spark in his Musical
Memoirs tells a story of the famous
Wesley which was related to him by
Nj. Bishop, the London organ builder.
Wesley was a great extcmporaneous
fugue player, and on the occasion to
which Mr.. Bishop referred had been
asked to show off a new organ by play
ing a voluntary at the afternoon service
previous to the reading Of the first les
son. Before going to the organ he asked
the vicar, who was an amateur organ
list, how long the voluntary should last.
"Oh," replied the vicar, please
yourself. Mr.. Wesley. Say five or ten
minutes, but we should like to hear as
much of the different stops as you can
oblige us with"
When the time came, after q few pre-
liminary chords, Wesley started a fugal
subject, which he worked ont III a mas
terly way in about n quarter of an hour,
and the vicar was about to commence
reading the lesson when the inexhausti-
BILE organist started n second subject,
and this he developed in the same alb.
struse, laborat manner as the first.

an hour began to show signs of weari-
ness. The vicar beckoncd to Mr.. Bish-
op and begged him to stop the too prolix
organist.
"Oh," replied the organ builder, 81
can soon stop him if you give me au-
thority and will take the consequences"
He approached the organ blower, and
holding up half n crown lie said hur.
riedly: Come and take this. I am just
going"
The blower pumped the bellows full
and made for the half crown. Bishop
detained him until the wind went out
with a suck and a grunt, and poor Wes-
ley was left high and dry in the middle

johnny Had His Reasons.

There was no doubt that Johnny Fizzle
top was the LATEST and the most mis-
chievous boy in the whole school. When
ever anything went wrong, Johnny was
sure to be blamed for ii. One day the
schoolteacher missed his spectacles He
remembered having put them on the desk
q few minutes before. He threatened to
punish the whole school in case the spec
tacles were not forthcoming.
Nov, boys, for the last time 1 tell you
whoever took those spectacles to come for
ward and own up that he did it. If he
doesn't, the whole class will be kept in for
an hour after school, he said excitedly.
There was silence for a few minutes,
and then Johnny held up his hand and
asked in an uncertain sort of voice what
the boy who took the spectacles would get.
"A good sound thrashing," thundered
the teacher.
please, sir, took the spectacles and
lost them, said Johnny.
A painful scene ensued At last the
teacher got through, and, out of breath,
was about to take his seat when the door
opened and his servant entered, bringing
the spectacles.
You left the spectacles at home" said
the servant, land l thought would bring
them over, as you can't see well without
them"
what! The spectacles?" exclaimed the
schoolteacher, very much astonished
Yes, there were his spectacles beyond a
doubt. just then Johnny broke out in a
dismal wall, saying between sobs:
so Lordy, o Lordy, and l have been
licked for them very spectacles!'
But, Johnny" said the astonished
teacher, chow did you come to say you
took the specs and lost themY 1t is a no
BILE trait in your character, my boy, to sac
riflce yourself for the good of the whole
class, particularly when you are innocent. y
"That's not why said took them," ex.
claimed Johnny. IF l hadn't said did

1t is far back enough to trace the
mystery of the egg to the egg and dart

history of the Easter egg we engulf our
selves in the remoteness Of time. In a
poached egg--what is the definition of
poach? Now, Easter and the Jewish
passover occur at quite the same dates,
and the pasch egg is the Passover egg.
and from that may come the potch,

us, finds its revival in early Christian

the resurrection. As to the pecking of
eggs, and the appropriation of the bro

greed was developed, and the small boy

Lobed Leaves.

Grant Allen, writer of pretty chapter.
on speculative botany, contends that leaves
become dissected in their efforts to obtain
air and light. Those who have had an op-
portunity of examining our white oak
know that the leaves are lobed just in pro-
portion to the ease by which they can get
light. In other cases the rule is reversed.
The outer leaves are chiefly lobed, and to
our mind this is the rule that generally
prevails. Some other circumstances than
light must have to do with the lobing of
leaves. The well known English ivy has
its leaves lobed while it is running rapid.
ly up trees, walls or fences. When it ceases
to grow in this direction but sends out lat
eral branches, the lobes disappear. Light
can have nothing to do with this result
