He DIFFERs.-Bishop Doane,
OF Albany, in his annual address to
the ministers of his diocese, said :
at is idle to make sweeping de-
nunciatiOn of the customs of soci.
ETY.. to condemn the theatre in to.
to. to declaim against dancing, to
prohibit universally the use of wine.
The system of the church and its
line OF teaching, founded on HOLY
Scripture and the teachings of the
Lord, do not undertake to deal
with the minutes of these details.
Broad and general principles are
laid down.
The reading of fiction, or going
to the theatre, may be to one per-
son just the relief that is needed to
an over-wrought brain, or q tired
body, while to another they may
simply make the realities oflife un-
real and foster false sentimental
ism and spurious emotionalism
which eat out all true pity and
sympathy from life.
"The same thing is true, it seems
to me. about games which NAV lead
one person to that awful sin of
gambling-the greatest curse of
man, because its root is in the chief
SIN OF covetousness while the same
games, to another, are merely the
diversion aud distraction that rest
the brain.
81 am perfectly certain that this
is truc about the use OF stimulants
which cannot be universally con-
demned or forbidden, without re-
flecting upon both the creation and
the revelation of God upon the
character and teaching of our Lord,
and without removing from the
sphere of human life the great law
that the man who learns self-con-
troll by processes of temptation is a
stronger man than the man who
withdraws himself entirely from
any risk OF being tempted.
This is new from the pulpit.

The ball passed through the photo

number Of others, occupied Q place
on q little shelf. Il made a big
hole in the cardboard. destroying
the face Of the photograph beyond
recognition. The physician was
much perturbed by the occurrance,
and glanced at his watch. The
hands pointed to 10 minutes of IL.
The next evening he called upon
his betrothed, aud before he had an
opportunity to tell her of the sing
ular occurrence she informed him
she had dreamed he had shot her.
The dream took place on Wednes-
day evening, soon after the girl had
retired. The horror of it awoke
her, and upon looking at the clock
on the mantel she learned that it
was just 10 minutes short of mid
night. She had heard nothing of
the doctors story, and those who
have heard OF the shooting and the
dream are inclined to believe that
there is something uncanny about
it.-Philadslphia Record.
A well-dressed woman who had
evidently been ont shopping board

proceeded to find her fare. Lay
ing aside her gloves, eyeglasses and
handkerchief she opened a grip.
Out Of the grip she took caba,
and opening the caba took out a
pocketbook, and out OF the latter
produced dollar, which she hand
ed to the conductor, who was pa
tiently waiting. The fair creature
then closed the pocketbook, opened
the caba. dropped the pocketbook
in the caba, closed the caba, opened

closed the grip, and was just about
to take the other feminine necessi-
ties in her hand when the eonduc-
tor drawled ont: Heres YOUR

must have been prepared for such
an emergency, for "chicken feed"
would be no name for the money he
gave her as change. After careful
ly counting the coin, the woman
opened her grip and again went
through her previous maneuvers.
Just as she was about to again drop
her caba in the grip. an old lady
sitting opposite who had been care
fully watching every move, pointed
to the floor and exclaimed "You
have dropped penny p And then
it all happened over again.-Ibid.
