Tales of HumOr.

The bishop of Worcester, England
once had occasion to travel through Ban
bury by rail. Being DESTROYS to test
and at the same time encourage the far
famed industry of that town, and the
train having stopped for short time at
the station, he beckoned to small boy
standing near at hand and inquired the
price of the celebrated buns. ''Three-
pence each," said the boy. The bishop
thereupon handed him sixpence and de-
sired him to bring one to the car, add
ing: "And with the other threepence
you may buy one for yourself" The
boy shortly returned, complacently
munching his Banbury, and, handing
the threepence in coppers to the bishop,
exclaimed, "there was only one left,
guv'nor." baptist Union.

A Lincoln attorney, who is church

Artists in Danger.

Artists are proverbially lacking in
what people of cOarser clay call horse
sense. Seldom does it occur to these
highly gifted persons to guard the
scaffold on which they staud with a
hand rail. Many times have artists
fallen in consequence, aud frequently
they have lost their lives in this man
ner. Lord Leighton, vino died year
or so ago, it has been stated recently,
was saved from such a fate only by the
vigilance of his assistant. He almost
stepped backward off the trestle work
in front of one of his frescoes at South
Kensington Museum.
Murillo was less fortunate. for he
died from the effects of his fall. Among
other painters who came to an untime-
ly end in this way were Munoz, Perez,
Gabbiana, Gambara, Coxcie, Bozzone,
Csvedone and Stothard Michael An
gelo escaped with a broken leg, and
Frederigo Zucchero after frightful
fall recovered in surprisingly short
time.-New York Press.

Statistics of the foreign trade Of
Germany have just been published ed
showing that its exports and imports
have both increased year by year, the
latter having more than doubled in a
decade, while the former have gone
ahead steadily, though in less degree.
Caprivi's commercial treaties with
Russia and Austria have worked well
and, Notwithstanding much initial OPP
position, their good results are now
apparent to everybody. Since they
went into effect three years ago the
imports have increased 272, 800, 900
marks, and the exports 7O2, 800, 900
marks. The Agrarians fought the
treaties at every step, but in the face

1t has been estimated that an oak of

The iridescence of the soap bubble

Pictet's discovery that liquors may

Results of a German inquiry prove
that overhead wires tend to reduce the

Since Homer's time vast falls of or

space and that showers of still-living
germs may explain the sudden appear

epidemics.
J. i. Hebrahn, the German arch@o-

Mexico, where he reports having found

He brought away with him a number
of relics of the place, and says that he
will go to the United States and thence
to Germany, where he will organize

There are in this country, states the
Newcastle (England) Chronicle, $780,
900 families dependent ON the bicycle
trade; and the trade is sure to increase,
as people will come TO look upon a
bicycle as they now do suit of
clothes, not as if it were an obelisk
designed to last forever. When this
time comes, says writer in contem-
porary, a man will buy new bicycle
every two or three years and be hap
Ply. This year persons in the British
Empire will spend about $117, 900, 900
on bicycles, and if the steel required
to make these hundreds of thousands
of wheels were converted into war ves-
sells, the result would be a fleet of
ships sufficient in numbers and power
to make any of the smaller Continen-
tai Powers feel distinctly uncomfort-
able. One cannot eat bicycles. But
bread is the staple food of many peo-
pie, and this year we shall spend more
money for bicycles than for bread, and
nearly as much as we shall spend for
meat.
