HWY Ideas CT scripturc.

The late Bishop How of Wakefield.
England, in his Notebook" gives some
significant instances of the hazy ideas
which children often obtain from care
less teachers.
one young curate was reproved by
the vicar for his use of too long words
while preaching TO an uneducatetl
audience. The word felicity was
mentioned as an instance. The young
curate could hardly believe there was
any one i'm his congregation who did
not know the meaning Of this word. SO
he called an old woman from one OF
the pews TO refute the charge.
What docs felicity mean, Marvy,
asked the young man.

Not few readers of the newspapers
must have been puzzled by the fact
that the new king Of Italy calls himself

AS the existing kingdom Of Italy has
hitherto had only two kings in all. and
as one OF them was named Umberto.
IL was natural to ask how this one
