The Old Parish.

The word parish indicated origi-
nally the geographical area over which
the jurisdiction Of bishop extended.
1t was not till q later time, and when
that area had been subdivided into
smaller areas, each of which was COM
mitted to the oversight of priest re-
sponsible for such functions as only
priest could discharge, that the smaller
area got to be called the parish, while
the larger area, compromising an ag-
gregate of parishes was called the bish-
ops diocese. AS time went on, by
confusion in language, of which album
dant examples might be given, the
name, which was strictly designation
of the geographical area, got to be APP
piled to the community inhabiting that
area, and thus the word parish is, even
in our own days, used sometimes to in
dictate the area inhabited by the COM
munity and sometimes the community
itself
In the latter sense the parish was
purely religious organization, distinct
in it's origin, it's working and its aims
from the manor, the township or the
Icing, though composed of the same
personnel, man for man. 1.-The parish
was the community of the township or
ganized for church purposes and subject
to church discipline with constitu-
ton which recognized the rights of the
whole body as an aggregate and the
right of every adult member, whether
man or woman, to voice in self gov
,rnment. Rev. DR.. Jessup in Nine
;eenth Century.

long fight. Temptations may dispute
your way, storms Of bereavement and
trouble may strike your soul, but God
will see you through. Build not on the
earth. Set your affections On things in
heaven, not on things on earth. This is
q perishing world. Its flowers fade. Its
fountains dry up. Its promises cheat.
Set your affections upon Christ and
heaven. rejoice, my dear brethren and
sisters in Christ, that the fight will
after awhile be ended. Not always beat
ell Of the storm. Not always going on
weary wings There is warm dovecot
of eternal rest where we shall find
place Of comfort, to the everlasting joy
of our souls. Oh, they are going up all
the time-going up from this church
going up from all the families and from
all the churches of the land-the weary
doves seeking rest in dovecot. Oh,
that in that good land we may all meet
when our trials are over! We cannot
get into the glorious presence of our de-
parted ones unless we have been cleans
ed in the same blood that washed their
sins away. I know this is true Of all
who have gone in, that they were
plunged in the blood, that they were
unloosed from the hyssop branch. Then
they went singing into glory. See that
ye refuse not him that speaketh, for if
they escaped not who refuse him that
spake on earth how much more shall
not we escape if we turn away from
him that speaketh from heaven?

A Diet OF Seals.

Here arc three examples of forcing
people to eat the seals on documents:
In 1910 Edouard II, lord of Beau
ieau, having carried off the daughter OF
a merchant of Villefranche, was sum-
moned to give an account of his actions
before the parliament Of Paris, but made
the messenger swallow the seals of tho
commission and flung him out OF win
dow in his castle of Pouilly.-A. J.
G. Hare, Southeastern France, p. 80.
Her irreverent behavior in church
was made subject of complaint to the
bishop of Lichfeld, and he sent a cita-
ton, which, however, Lewis (Thomas
Lewis her husband) is said to have
forced the official to eat.-Life OF
joyce or Jocasta Lewis, OBJ. 1867, IN
Dict. Nat. Biography, xxxiii, 100.
The prisoner had a string OF counsel,
the leading counsel being Sergeant Da-
Wy, a barrister of the type that has sur
yived at the Old Bailey and about the
law courts to this day. a big man,
with loud voice and a rare power
against witnesses, was Bull" Davy.
In early life he had been tradesman at
Exeter. A bailif had come to serve
writ on him, and he had slipped the
poker into the fire, and then, bringing
it out had made the wretched officer OF
the law eat the writ, saying it was
sheepskin and would eat like mutton.

Evangeline's Query.

Mrs Baxstone is one of the busiest
society women in town. She belongs to
three afternoon whist clubs and two
dancing clubs. She and her husband are
members of several pedro clubs and she
is invited to three times as many recep-
tions and parties as it is possible for her
to attend.
: But it happened one day last week
that Mrs. Baxstone didn't get ready to
go anywhere after luncheon.
This caused her little 3-year-old
daughter to wonder. The child waited
expectantly for awhile, and then in
wide eyed amazement said:
"Ain't you going away today, man.
ma?''
"No, darling" said her mamma.
"I'm going to be at home with you all
this afternoon.
Little Evangeline was elated, and
merrily danced about the house all the
rest of the day, stopping every little
while to be retold that her mamma was
not going out.
That evening after dinner Mr.. and
Mrs. Baxstone repaired to the library
and sat down. Evangeline stood in ST.
lence for a reasonable length Of time,
but at last she went up to her mamma
and asked:
"Are you and papa doin to stay home
dis evening"
Eyes, dearest. %
Evangeline looked thoughtful for q
moment, and then, in her sweet, inno-
cent way, isped:
"What' S wrong?" -Cleveland Leader.

completed my story this day" Thacke- ray wrote to his mother, 'and wrote finis, I am very tired, weary and solemn mind ed" Mrs. Ritchie says she can remember "the morning Helen died. He came into our schoolroom half-laughing and half ashamed and said to us, "I do not know what James can have thought of me when he came in and found me blubbering over Helen Pendennis' death.'
 Thackeray was fiercely criticized for trying to win favor with the non-literary classes by decrying his own profession. In replying to the attack made upon him he wrote:
 The only moral that I, as writer, wished to hint at fin the description against which you protest was that it is the duty of a literary man, as well as Of every other, to practice regularity and sobriety, to love his family, to pay his tradesmen. Nor is the picture 1 have drawn a 'caricature which I condescend to- My attempt was to tell the truth and to tell 1t not unkindly. I have seen the bookseller whom Bludger robbed of his books. l have carried money, and from noble brother letters. to some one not unlike Shandon In prison, and have watched the beautiful devotion of his wife in that dreary place. Why are these things not to be described, If they'll lustrate, as they appear to me to do, that strange and awful struggle which takes place in our hearts and in the world?"

The famous story has twice been translated into Japanese. once liter ally, and again in the words of a Japanese Burma still find 1t one of the best in their repertoires The Burmese says Its local color" is correct. Mir Stockton himself story to a tribe of Karens up. in the north of Burma When she came back. year later, the tribe surrounded her and want ed to know if she had found out yet whether it was the lady or the tiger.
 As to The Girl at Cobhurst." she's the ugly duckling of the Stockton literary family. Being the child of such father, the very brilliancy of her sisters empha.. sizes her lack of distinction, of grace, of wit. If she were not related to such clever people her defects would not be so first half of the book which meanders on in the leisurely Stocktonian way has no real bearing upon the story. And the real story, the struggle between the old French cook and the autocratic match maker of the town, which might have been deliciously funny, is robbed of its real value because the element of sur prise, of climax, Is lacking.
 In 'The Girl at Cobhurst' Stockton had a plot for farce as clever, as original as any of the idess % that have come me, from opns his 1t into a pastoral, photographic tale, and so spoiled it. It remains for some one to seize upon the capital rivalry of these two old women, a disinterested rivalry for the possession of a husband-not for either of the two. but for the girl each was in- terested in-and turn its flow of oppor- tunity for good situation and dramatic possibilities back into the channel where 1t would have done most good and been so conducive to the gayety of nations. Just a little accentuation, just bit of clever character work, just a hint Of caricature In Miss Panney and Mime. Le Fleur, and to the stage would be added two delightful creations; while literature, in losing "The Girl at Cobhurst," would lose nothing she mightn't easily replace. What occurred between Dora and Miss Panney when the former declares her in tentions Stockton has not described at all. On the stage that might be made capital scene. Imagine a girl going to the autocratic, wealthy old maid and ask man Dora wishes to marry. Imagine her confusion-for Dora Is not villain-the keen-eyed. sharp-tongued old match makers pleasure in the proceeding and the details of the plot they might con coct. The teaberry gown, too. is an ef- fective piece of stage property, whose light is hid under a bushel in book. And the possibilities in that clever Le Fleur. armed as she is, with the most potent simply tantalizing for an actress with brains and wit enough to see and em- brace such an opportunity.
 Who'll dramatize The Girl at Cob- hurst? Who'll reveal the excellent com edy that Stockton thought and didn't write? Who'll uncover the clever idea that lies suffocated beneath the dust of dull village gossip by commonplace peo- pie of commonplace things?

THE UNQU|ET SEX. BY HELEN PATTERSON MOODY

r r ELLEN WATTERSON MOODY Is
 that rare thing in male or female
 authorship-an eSSayist; a writer,
 sane, unaffected by fads, with a
 calm logical mind and a sense of humor, capable of taking comprehensive view of things, with a point not too far elevated above mankind, and an easy style of expression, not so severe as to lack charm and not so untrammeled as to lack dignity.
 ''The Unquiet Sex" is a prettily bound little volume devoted to the discussion of women and the place they occupy in the doing and thinking world just now. The author, with that philosophy which Is the esSayist's most entertaining and-to the disputants-most irritating quality, refuses to take sides, and while she quietly and wittily points out the humorous aspects of the discovery of women" declines to praise or to condemn wholesale.
 T know the argument to the contrary" she writes of the woman collegian, T used to write about it myself, and be- lieve 1t, too: but that was before the serious days settled down upon me, when l would gladly have exchanged my small birthright of Latin and Greek for the ability to make one single, respectable mess of anything half so good as pot tage." Still, despite her self-conscious- education she wanted she has had 1t was right and just that she should have it, and 1t has done her good: Possibly 1t will do her still more good when she is able to forget it.
 The chapter on womens clubs is the pleasantest example of this clever womans style.
 T asked Ernesta the other day to de- fine a woman's club, to give the club idea, feminine, in as few words as possible. She thought profoundly for some minutes, then said: "A woman's club is an associa- tion for the purposes of mutual helpful ness and self-improvement. Then 1 asked a man to define a mans club. Well he said. upon reflection, club is something you join in order that you may stay away from 1t when you like <"
 From this she deduces the superiority of the man in his capacity for enjoyment, and in her picture of the ideal woman's club she declares:
 Here no insidious desire for work should be allowed to masquerade under the guiSe of recreation, and no amount of recreation would serve to carry any ul- would be luncheon for luncheon'S sake, and women would sit down to eat it, greedy and unashamed. And you may be sure there would be no papers to read and no members fined because they were not there to listen to them
 In 'The Case of Maria is a practical suggestion for the solution of the prob lem Of domestic servants, in the separa their employer. Until women shall have given some evidence of some small politi- cal sagacity, some desire for reform" she concludes, and very little capacity for worlds sociology with which the home Is concerned. there is no glaring injustice in denying them a share in the government of the country.
