A Phillips Brooks Anecdote.

At the dinner given in his honor in
Philadelphia DR.. McVickar, the bishop
coadjutor of Rhode Island, told this
characteristic anecdote of the late Phil
Inns Brooks: II remember a few years
ago I was travelling with one OF the
grandest bishops and one of the grand
est men of the century. was saunter
ing with bin from church in Lucerne,
in Switzerland, and he said something
30 boyish and fresh, just as he was ever
wont to do. stopped and looked at him
and said, Brooks. it seems so strange
that you should be a bishop. He looked
at me with almost startled expression,
and he said, 'McVickar. IL seems so
strange to me that sometimes, when
am putting ON my clothes, have to
stop and laugh 1t was just the fresh
ness of that man which always kept
him young, and which, l am sure, you
will understand as | give 1t, for ven-
ture to say there has never been such
bishop in our or any other church.

The Initiative Japanese.

A good story is told by st. Barbe Of
the imitativeness of the japanese, which
is easily credible, for was it not Jap
anese who when he was told to make q
coat to pattern-the old one being sent
so faithfully did he carry out the or
der that rent and darn in one of the
tails was carefully executed in the new
garment?
"At certain reception we were ask
ed in morning dress. but knowing peo.
pie wore their crush theater hats When
we got down to the gunroom, which
was devoted to gentlemen cloaks, the
gentleman Immediately before me took
off his theater hat, crushed it against his
breastbone, wrapped it up in his dust
cloak and handed it to the japanese in
charge.
81 took off my hat and dust cloak and
handed them. To my horror the Jap
took hold of my hat by the brim and
crushed it against his breastbone as he
had seen my predecessor do Unfortu-
nately that gentleman's hat would not
work at first, and he had to use great
deal of force before the springs would
fold down. The japanese therefore saw
nothing in my hats unwillingness to
work, but just crushed it and folded my
cloak round it.
"When expostulated, he smiled and
presented me with paper flower
suppose as peace offering.

We must remember that there are no
such things as lines in nature Whether.
we use them to represent human pro-
