Trials Of a Lecturer.

Under the title Of "Some Remin-
iscences Of Lecturer" DR.. Andrew
Wilson, the well-known writer on
popular science, gives many anus
ing anecdotes of lecturers and their
audiences. Most irritating to the
former is provincial habit of turn
ing heads zen masse," when door
creaks, to ascertain who is coming
in. DR.. Wilson tells story of
lecturer who, when anyone hap
pened to come, in late in the usual
clumsy fashion, was in the habit of
stopping short and watching the
intruder to his seat, generally with
the effect of making him look sheep
ish and Disconnected. 1t happened,
however, one day, while he was lee
turing ina provincial town, that he
was interrupted by a gentleman
coming in late with a particularly
irritating pair of creaking boots
The lecturer stopped, according to
his custom, and stared at the in
truder, who seemed to be not in the
least conscious that all eyes were
upon him. At length, getting out
of patience, the lecturer, in an icy
tone, said: Il am waiting for you,
sir" Apparently quite unmoved,
the offender spent q few seconds in
arranging his coat on his chair.
Then, sitting down, he turned to
the lecturer with charming smile,
and said: Nov, sir, l am ready
if you are. Please proceed !"

That Merritt Bible

The SIN and About Kentucky" man
in the Courier Journal pokes fun a
our reference to Merritt's bible as be-
ing 500 years old, and proceeds to tell
the people that movable types were
not in existence that far back. Now
if our friend is 50 well up on types it
seems that he ought to know that
they frequently get mixed in the cases
and errors will creep in, no matter
how particular one reads his proc. As
to the bible, one of any kind or any
date would doubtless be a great cur
iosity to the In and About man. We
meant to say the Merritt book was one
hundred wears cd.
