it, the hounds enjoy it, and I'm blowed

enjoys it, and the hereto enjoys it,
too; for he knows that if he is con-
victed he will be widely advertised
and get call at high salary from
society in quest of an attractive
preacher.-Boston Transcript.

THE notification of the Torrens law
by the supreme court of Illinois on the
ground of unconstitutionality will be
a disappointment to those persons who
favor the simplification of methods as
well the expediting of processes in
the transfer of real estate. The ground
upon which the court condemned the
law was that the act conferred on the
registrar of titles judicial power.

THE New York Herald says: Amer
lea is feeding the world. An enormous
stream of golden grain is flowing from
the prairies of the west, along the rail-
ways and canals, to this port, and is
here placed on transatlantic steamers,
that the peoples of the old world may
be fed. About 800, 900 bushels are be-
ing shipped each day, and the increased
demand which has existed for several
weeks gives no immediate promise of
abatement. There is an extraordinary
demand because the crops are short in
India and in some European provinces

Archbishop and Prince.

There are many stories told of the
late archbishop of Canterbury. One
relates to his Wellington college days.
The prince consort, attended by a
single equerry, rode over to Yelling
ton and arrived just as the doctor was
about to address his boys. The prince
expressed wish that the master
should proceed with the address in his
presence. Having with a bare head,
as etiquette demanded, shown Prince
Albert to a seat, he turned to the boys,
and, replacing his hat, began his lee
ture. Just then the equerry went up
and touched him on the elbow. "Dr.
Benson" said he, ''his royal highness
is present.; II am proud to know it, -
was his reply, and the doctor serenely
continued with his interrupted address
Scarcely had a dozen words been spok-
en-, however, before the persistent cour-
tier again broke in with, ''Dr. Benson,
we all remain uncovered in his royal
highness' presence" Il am his royal
highness' most humble and devoted
servant" rejoined the future arch
bishop, at the same time bowling low,
with uncovered head, to the prince;
but said he, replacing his head COW
ering and turning to the boys once
more, 81 am also my boys head mas
