Sometimes in English country parishes
where the clergyman has been accustomed
to have his own way, he protests rather Wig
orously If the name proposed for a child
about to be christened does not suit him
Occasionally, however, he does SO upor
false premises.
The late Dean Burgon, when curate in
Berkshire, was requested by village cou
pie to christen their boy Venus" or as
they called it, "Vanus.'
"Are yoA aware" he said, that you are
asking something ridiculous as well as ex.
ceedingly wicked2 Do you suppose | am
going to give Christian child, a boy, the
name of a woman in heather mythology

And do you mean to say his grand
father was named VenusS"
Eyes, sir; there he is, sir"
A poor old man, looking very unlike
Venus, hObbled out of the crowd.

mediaval cuffs accompany bouffant draped
bodices and an 1880 decolletage is sur
mounted by fluffy couture.
Bridesmaids costumes are more and
moro elaborate. They are of all light col
ors. Pale green and pink are much liked,
as are also combinations Of silver gray and
white.
Biscuit and parchment tones are again
worn and are especially attractive in vel
vets.
Young girls are wearing more lace than
was formerly the case. Louis XIV bodices
of guipure dc venise over satin and boleros
and corselets of embroidered lace are now
seen upon them but the richness Of these
materials is somewhat toned down by a
liberal use of tulle and gauze.
For bridal gowns the usual white satin
is employed by preference, mingled with
lace, but broohe silks are also used for this
purpose, as are brocades and ivory MORE
antique. Pure white is always prettier
and more suitable for wedding gowns than
yellowish or pearl tints, and simplicity
ought always to be distinguishing fea-
ture of them.
A sketch is given of a toilet of ceremony
of white miroirtante silk. The godet skirt
Is plain. The bodice is covered with Irish
point and is adorned in front with two
bretellelike draperies of satin fastened or
the shoulders by knots of satin. The bal
loon sleeves are of accordion plated white
| silk gauze and are trimmed with wid'
bands of Irish point. The sleeves hav'
deep medieval cuffs of miroirtante silk

A man entered a pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, and laying down SEQ bill
asked II he could be accommodated with
81 on 1t. The pawnbroker was an excellent
judge of money and saw at once that the
bill was genuine. So he turned and said to
the stranger, showing the bill toward him
as he spoke, that he was in no mood for
nonsense, But the stranger, showing the
bill back, rejoined in earnest tones that he
meant business; that he couldn't get any
conductor on horse car to change the bill;
that he had already been put off three cars;
that his boots were awful tight, and that
unless he could get 81 on the bill he would
be compelled to walk to the Battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that the
stranger meant what he said, So he took
up the $50 bill, toyed with it few mo-
ments and then said to him, "Well, my
friend I'd like to accommodate you. but
owing to the financial stringency | can
only give you 75 cents."-Journal of II.

Syrup of Figs, 1T has become import

great value of the remedy us u medi-

Smallpox in Former Centuries.

Of vaccination by Jenner smallpox
caused more than one-tenth of all the
deaths Of the human race. Fifty mil-
lion people died in Europe from small

the sixteenth century the disease
appeared in Mexico, and 3.5O0,OOO Of
the population yielded up their lives
in few years leaving some provinces
almost depopulated. In 1907, in Ice
land, $4,000 people died in one year,
the entire population being but $1,000.

R have a scientific explanation Of tho
somnolence which overtakes people II
church. I used to thipk that It was
dullness Of the sermon which pro
voked the sleep of the congregation.
One remembers the actor who gave .
private reading OF his play to q COM
pany Of his friends, and when he was
done asked their opinion. At last.
when one began to speak the play
wright interrupted: "You can have 10
opinion; you were asleep" "Ahw 10
piled the critic, do you not know that
sleep Is an opinionY' And sleep 10 eer-
tainly an opinion, and not an e.
pecially iiattering one.
But It may not mean that the ser
mon is really lull. I have seen people
sleep in church under all manner or
circumstances, and In the hearing Of
the most admirable preachers, preach
ing the most eloquent sermons. l saw
q man sleep when Mr.. Spurgeon
preached. Mr.. Moody has more than
once called out to have q window
opened to wake up somnolent menu
Der OF his audience. Canon Knox-Ldt-
lie is accounted preacher OF more
than usual earnestness and power, yet
I remember once In Worcester seeing
q minister, clad In surplice and stole
and seated in the chancel, go straight
to sleep while the canon preached, dis
regarding the eyes OF the congrega-
ton. And once when Mr.. Gore deliv-
cred a sermon in that great abbey
where he is now canon. people who
sat in my neighborhood went to sleep
In shoals.
mo; my theory is that most times
when the congregation sleeps during
the sermon they are simply hypnO-
tized. For consider the situation.
Most of the conditions which the hyp-
notist desires are present. There Is Q
dim and subdued light in the room;
the atmosphere Is somewhat close, tho
temperature Is high; somewhere be-
hind the speaker, in position which
compels the eyes Of the congregations,
is, a jet of gas or sharp CLEAN OF
electricity, into which they look as
the sermon proceeds; and the preacher
goes on and on and on, in a gentle and
monotonous voice. and down and up,
like mothers lullaby; ard behold our
eyelids are pressed down against our
will by soft. invisible fingers, ana
everything is deliciously vague ana
far away, and suddenly people stan0
up with an awakening sound about
us, and the preacher IL pronouncing
the ascription at the end OF his ser
mon, during whose wise and eloquent
paragraphs we have humiliatingly
slept. This is hypnotic sleep. And II
Is the fault not only OF the preacher.
but of the whole construction Of our
