A Doubtful Compliment.

Bishop Lawrence Of Massachusetts
was up at the capitol the other day, and
his presence recalled to the mind Of a
good Episcopalian senator story which
the bishop told on himself. At the time
of the story the bishop was dean of the
seminary at Cambridge.
Phillips Brooks had just been elected
bishop and had accepted, when one fine
morning President Eliot Of Harvard met
Dean Lawrence on the street.
'The church has made the greatest
mistake of lifetime,'' said the presi-
dent to the dean. Crooks was the pivot
around which we revolved in Boston.
Now you have spread him out all over

A Negro's Long Drink.

A western member of congress was
recently with party discussing the ca
pacity Of men to drink strong liquor.
After listening to several stories along
this line, he said:
"Well, I don't believe any class of
men can beat these Washington negroes
when it comes to drinking strong liquor:
One Friday night as came home after
nights session thought would stop
in little saloon near my house and get
stovepipe of lager to make me sleep
sound. It is not a very swell place, but
1t was the only one convenient. While I
was emptying the big glass of the frothy
liquid tough looking negro, with a big
stick under his arm, walked in and de-
manded pint of gin.
"'What price?' asked the young man
behind the bar.
"'Twenty cents, said the fellow, be-
ginning to count out lot Of pennies.
"'All right said the bartender,
where is your bother
I don't want no bottle. Jest hand
out glass, huh.
"The liquid was measured off in a
big beer glass, and without taking it
from his lips he swallowed the contents,
not even deigning to take a drink of
water when he had finished. : The bar
tender did not seem to be at all sur
uprised, merely remarking that the fell
low would probably take several such
drinks before he finished the evening.

The Barisal Guns.

In the delta of the Ganges a mysteri-
GUS sound is sometimes heard, to which
the name Of ''Barisal guns" is given,
because Of its resemblance to the dull re-
port of distant artillery, Similar noises
are we'll known to the lighthouse keep
ers and fishermen of Ostend and Bou-
logne, who call them the "mist pouffers,
or fog dissipators, and generally hear
them on the evening Of a hot day in sum:
sner. Although the sounds are compared
to the detouations Of guns, they are not
very like these, and they occur at irreg-
ular intervals. Their origin is enveloped
in mystery, but some physicists regard
them as electrical detonations, such as
might be produced by flashes Of ordinary
lightning or the explosion Of globe light
ming, while others refer them to the
shocks of fluid matter in the bowels of
the earth or the rumbling of slight earth
quakes. -Public Opinion.

A Question of Honor.

She is young, happily married and
prosperous. A short time ago she lost
her purse in the street, and Immediately
upon discovering her loss went to
newspaper Office and put in all adver-
tisement, Offering reward for the re-
turn of the missing article. The follow
ing day poor man brought the purse to
her house and claimed the reward. Leav-
ing him standing at the door, she disap-
peared, presumably to get the promised
sum, but in reality to send one Of her
servants for policeman, although she
had no good reason for doubling the
mans statement that he had picked up
the purse In the street. He was not ar
rested, but he got no reward. This sort
Of thing is rather -discouraging to persons
with honest intentions. York
