The subject of Bishop I.eonard's ev-

Matthew 90. Z, and had reference to
the parable wherein the Master had

when He found others idle, and asked
"Why stand ye here all the day idley'
they responded, Because no man hath
hired U.S." 1lf
This response was taken as text
and Bishop Leonard said IN part:

On Sept. 4 Mr.. John McNevin of Al.

made application to Judge Burlington a

from selling his property. so that his

"Yes, legally" Mr.. McNevin replied,
"but not morally. My religious feelings

fine lot Of pheasants were received late
ly at the farm, and the negroes living
near by have had their eyes on them, as
they think them as good as chickens or
turkeys.
The other night a trio of negroes made
a raid upon the pheasant Enclosure.
Napoleon did not see them till they were
nea the cage. Then, with a sharp hiss,
he rushed at them with outstretched
wings. The negroes ran for the fence,
but Napoleon was too quick for them,
and with a kick Of his powerful foot he
knocked one down, who cried with fright
and pain as the sharp ella WIS of Napoleon
had caught his leg, making a terrible

How Strauss Played the Chant.

The teacher who influenced Strauss
most was one Joseph Dreshler, the choir
master Of st. Stephens church. in Wen
ma, who tried to get the waltzes out of
the boys head and put in their place an
thems and chorals. In this undertaking
he met with indifferent success. for the
worshipers in one of the Vienna churches
were startled on n Sunday morning when
there poured forth from the organ. filling
the gloomy building by its enchanting
notes. a waltz instead Of the solemn
Gregorian chant to which they were ac.
customed. 1t was Johann Strauss. Jr.,
who had taken the %organist's place and
substituted his own favorite selection for
the usual sacred music, much to the dis
may Of the pious folk and the amuse-
ment Of the younger people in the con-
gregntion.-Edward A. Steiner in Wo-

TALKING OF GHOSTS.
A story Guaranteed Correct In Ev-
cry Particular.

The group In the corner Of the hotel
corridor were talking about ghosts last
evening, and, as usual on such occa.
sions, some remarkable stories were told.
Finally n small man with . red beard
spoke up.
Il dislike to advance any theories on
this subject" he said, but / had a little
experience myself last summer which,
with your permission, | will narrate SIM
ply for what it is worth.
II live in a very old house on Bourbon
street" he continued, Tin the rear of
which is a splall bricked court, connect
ing with n passage leading TO a side
gate. Al the back Of the court Is a
wall, II or II feet high, separating us
from the next lot and showing traces in
the corner OF a narrow door, which was
long ago filled in with masonry.
There is nothing in the least unusual
about the place, yet for some indefinite
reason it always affected me unpleasant
ly. However, to come to the point. I
happened to go to the back door Of the
house for some purpose or other one aft

pause. HAS the old man ever appeared

Neglected Hassocks.

St. Botolph's church, Aldersgate,
boasts among it's clergymen a humorist
Of no moan order. In the monthly cir
eular issued to Pensioners he writes:
Zone Of our hymns says that satan trem-
bles when he sees the weakest saint upon
his knees We fear there is a small
chance OF satan or any one else seeing
4 certain portion Of our congregation
on their knees, as they prefer to sit rath-
er than kneel at prayer time. Except
for aged people or invalids, there Is no
excuse for this lazy habit. We will en-
deavor to supply some new hassocks
with 'Kneel to Pray written on them
and trust that the hint will not be
thrown away"
But the reverend gentleman quite mis-.
takes the reason of the disinclination Of
men to kneel in church. If he wishes to
remove it, he should supply not new has
socks. but new trousers. The hard SUBJ
stances provided in most churches as
kneeling boards simply mean ruin to a
pair Of well cut pants, Inc in these days
of keen competition city men do not care
about appearing with baggy knees when
such a contingency can be avoided by a
slight change of position, which need
not affect the spirit Of devotion. This is
the real reason why his hassocks are
neglected .-London Telegraph.
