was blessed with five manageable
daughters. AS the curate had fore
seen, it was not long before he had
an opportunity of bringing himself
under the bishops notice; and, as he
had likewise foreseen, the superior cut
of his long black coat, and the superior
polish of his manners made a certain
impression on his lordship's mind.
Mr.. D'Oyley was asked to garden par
ty at the palace, and he made such
good use of his time on that occasion
that before long he was invited to the
palace a second time. He then con-
rived to be employed by one of the
bishops chaplains as a sort of unpaid
assistant; and thenceforward his
progress became easy.
Before DR.. Smiles had been six
months at Bishops Tilton Mr.. D'Oyley
had contrived to be on terms of sym
pathetic friendship with Ernesta, the
bishops third daughter. She had con-
fided to him her preference for the
Sarum Use; he had told her with a
sigh that the low tone of the diocese
was a great cross to him. In short,
they understood one another. But
Ernesta knew very well that for her
" MAJ a SuA eilC was O0O
of the question; while the clergyman
never dreamt of wedding a portionless
girl, as the third Miss Smiles certain
ly was.
Matters were in this position when
the diocese was startled by the news
that the rector of D4tchley had sud
denly died. Now, Ditchley was one of
the plums in the Brampton pudding.
Mr.. D'OyIey had no occasion to look
it up in Crockford. lie knew all about
it-e 500 per annum, and a house;
patron, Lord Cuddesly.
For some time the curate of Market
Dedham sat bordering. Then he got
up and rummaged out an old universe
ty calendar, and by its help discovered
the pleasing fact that Hon. Algernon
Debray, Lord Cuddesly's eldest son,
had been al Oxford for three months
before he himself left that seat of
learning. Mr.. D'Oyley, having ascer-
tanned this fact, resumed his media
tions.
The following day he went to the
palace and asked for the bishop The
bishop received him with a business
like air, which would have been dis
concerning to most men, but Rev. Sep
tinus D'oyley refused to- potice it.

up a mail box at the roadside, as
shown in the illustration. One end
of the box is left open to receive
the mail. The round disc is a signal
to denote there is mail in the box;
it is held in its upright position :by
the weight attached to the lower end
of the handle. Whoever brings the
mail, puts it in the box and drops
the weight which raises the signal,
which can be seen from the house.
When we get the mail out the
weight is hung up on a nail driven
in the side of the box near the bot
tom edge. This allows the signal to
drop down by the side of the box as
shown by dotted lines. Our box is
made of roofing tin, except the bot
tom and end, which are wood. The
signal should be painted different
color from that of the box to render
it more easily seen.-E. E. Higgins,

PUT TO NOVEL USE.
Storage Battery of an Electric Auto
mobile Is Used to Light
Church.

We have heard of the application
of an automobile storage battery to
an X-ray apparatus where a physi-
clan was in hurry to complete an x
ray examination; but recently a use
of a novel and more general charac
ter was made with very satisfactory
results, says the Scientific American.
In Stratford, Conn.,, there has late
ly been installed system of electric
lights in the Congregational church,
current being supplied only at night
from the neighboring city of Bridge
port. A certain gentleman resides in
this town and operates an electric
surrey.
1t happened that one Sunday morn
ing was dark and cloudy, and as no
current was furnished during day
light, there was no way to illuminate
the dark interior portions of the
church except by the use of a few oil
lamps.
The owner and his family rode to
church in the electric vehicle, then
ran it under a window in the rear of
the church, near where the switch
box is located, and, after throwing
off the main supply switch, connect
ed the feed wires to the storage bat
terry in the carriage. AS the several
switches in the panel-box were
turned on the church was well lighted
up, and remained so through the
service At its conclusion the wires
were disconnected and the family and
minister taken home in the auto
mobile.
Many in the congregation took it
for granted that the lighting oe-
Cured from the regular source, and
were much surprised upon learning
of the method of supplying the cleo
tric current that was actually used.
Another practical use of storage
batteries in boats has come to our no.
tice A gentleman in Connecticut has
a small launch operated by a storage
battery; this is charged in the day
time, and when not in use the boat is
tied to the dock from which feed wires
run CONNECTED with the storage bat
terry in the boat to his house short
distance away. In the evening he thus
uses the battery in the boat to light
the house, and finds it a very satisfac-
tory arrangement.

A Stroke Of
Diplomacy ~
By JOHN K. LEYs
sEPTIMus D,OYLEY

ID SEPTIMUS D'OYLEY was
n without any special advantages
of birth, fortune or intellectual abili-
ty; yet discerning person might have
predicted with safety that he would
rise in the world. He had a good adj
dress, plenty of assurance (decently
veiled), and the outward appearance
of a gentleman. But, more than this,
he was man of resource, as this story
will show
Very early in his clerical career Mr..
D'Oyley had recognized the fact that
the estimation in which a curate is
held largely depends on the fact of his
being unmarried. Married curates, he
observed, were invariably "huff'd an
cuff'd an disrespeckit"-at the most
they got newly-created parishes, with
large working-c1ass population, and
an endowment of e2OO per annum.
and independently of this considera-
ton, Mr.. D'Oyley knew his own value
in the marriage market too well to
dispose of himself in a hurry.
After he had been some years in the
diocese of Brampton, Rev. Septimus
D'Oyley threw up pleasant and we'll
paid curacy in order to obtain less
conspicuous and less lucrative post in
the sleepy old town of Market Ded-
ham. This looked like retrograde
movement. But Mr.. D'Oyley knew
very well what he was about. The
bishop of Brampton, now quite an old
man, was doing away the last years
of his life at Bishops Tilton, only
few miles from Dedham. 1t could not
be long, so argued MIR. D'Oyley, before
Bishop Dewlap resigned, or was gath
cred to his fathers; and if an ener-
getic, middle-aged man came into his
room, the clergy at Market Dedham
would be well within the sphere of his
cOgnizance.
What the curate hadexpected actu-
ally took place. DIR. Dewlap departed
this life; and Rev. Gregory Smiles
reigned in his stead. The new bishop
of Brampton was married man; and

Dog Census of Europe.

Acensus of the dogsof Europe recent
" completed has developed some fig
ures as to national interest and care
for dogs that will upset many popular
notions Thus, France has more dogs
than any other country in Europe,

France has rs dogs to every 1000 inha b.
itants Ireland comes second with IS
per 1000; England third, with IS, and
Germany fourth, with 81. Most per-
sons would have said that England was
the dog-lovingl country of Europe, but
it seems that she is not. The French
enumeration may. be relied on. as
there is license law in France and all
dogs are carefully registered.

Arrested Dog Mascot.

When friend stopped in to see
the house sergeant at the Delaney
street police station, in Philadelphia,
he did not take into account the fact
that there were present yigilant
dog and a mischievous parrot. When
he had finished his visit, and, being
in "a hurry. had walked out rapidly,
his lively gait aroused the suspicious
of the parrot, who began to shrek:
'.Stop, thief!'' The dog mascot of
the station house, known as Rags, y
is proud of the, fact that several
times he has stopped fleeing pris-
oners He at once started in pursuit,
overlook the visitor and grabbed
him. It was not until the arrival of
a policeman known to the dog that
ssRags' could be persuaded to let go.
As a punishment he and Mike, . the
parrot. were placed in cells for two
days.

Look After the Hogs swirl.

Sun-baked swill in filthy barrels;
swilI that is fermented into the
sharpest acid and putrefied into a
disgusting mass; swilI that attracts
myriads of carrion-loving flies, is not
fit for the hogs. It is full of mias-
ma and disease germs of various
kinds and hence it is dangerous to
feed it. Pleasantly soured swiil,
swin that is mildly acid is all right,
but it should not be allowed to pass
that stage before it is fed; and in
hot weather it gets past that stage
very quickly. 1t is not easy to look
after such things carefully in the
rush of all kinds of work, and some
cannot receive such suggestions with
patience, which is not surprising, Eut
for all that it viii pay to give some
thoughts to the pigs. 1t will not be
regretted at their harvest time

AN IDEAL NEIGHBoR.

A few years ago a friend of mine told
me a story that is worth repeating to
the largest possible audience:
Not long ago. said he, Il was in
need of small amount of money. The
simplest way to get it was to sell a
COW, and sell her cheap. Meeting a
asked him if he wanted to
buy a good COW. 1t happened that he
needed one, and went at once to see
'Bossy.' Satisfied with her and the
price named. he imme dia tely paid for
the c01~and led her home. a few weeks
later ] met him on the street and he
handed me a fYe-dollar bill, remark
ing that he owed that amount because
[ had sold the COW too cheap. He did
not care to profit by my necessity.
He was right. l had offered the an
imal for less than her real worth in
order to make quick SALE
'.How would you like to have such
a neighbour" he asked.

my answer.

his head in the direction of one of

The Famine Begins ................vs. 1857.
Pharaoh's Two Dreams.-About two
years after the remarkable dreams of
the butler and the baker, which Joseph
hadso accurately interpreted, Pharaoh
had a dream no less remarkable. It
was of seven well-fed cows feeding In
meadow. Upon the heels of these
came seven cows that were very lean,
and which fell upon the fat ones and
hungrily devoured them. Then
Pharaoh awoke, but, falling asleep
again, dreamed much the same thing,
only instead of cows it was ears of
corn. There were seven full ears close
ly followed by seven very poor ears,
which quickly disposed of the ears that
were full. The thing stuck in Pharaoh's
mind and he could get no rest until a
meaning had been given to his dreams.
All the maglcians were called in, but
their replies were all satisfactory.
Pharaoh Hears of Joseph.-At this
juncture Pharaoh's Ebntler remembers
that when in prison he had a dream and
that young Jewish prisoner had truly
interpreted it for him. He remembers
not only his own dream, but aIsoeth
bakers dream and the bakers unhap-
py end, as foretold by Joseph. Ia
Pharaoh's dilemma the butler tells Of
this wonderful prisoner.
Joseph Called to Court.-PharaoIi
sends for Joseph. who shaves off thu
beard that has been growing Will,
there in prison and makes himself oths
erwise as presentable as possible.
Pharaoh greeted him as one that could
understand a dream to interpret it."
Joseph showed his religion as well as
his modesty by replying: 1T is not
in me; God shall give Pharaoh an an
swer of peace" There was world of
significance in that expression, IAN an
swer of peace Joseph knew what
trouble was. He knew that San am
swer of peace" was one of the great
est blessings Pharaoh could receive,
yet he assured him God would give it.
Joseph's interpretation When Jo-
seph had heard Phara obs dreams he
perceived that it was one dream twice
repeated. The significance was the
coming of seven years of plenty to be
quickly followed by seven of dire fam
inc.
His Wise Counsel-Joseph was not
a mere interpreter of dreams. If
dreams to him were often messages
from God, then they meant action for
him, and he showed his practical wis
dom by advising Pharaoh to prepare
for the years of famine in the years
OF. plenty.
Joseph in sperity.-Pharaeh dis
covered the wisdom of this advice. He
saw, too, that man through whom
God could interpret dreams could also
be trusted in a position of great re-
sponsibility Thus it came that Joseph
came to second in power in Egypt. 1T
was during the seven years of plenty
that Manasseh and Ephraim We're
born. No tribe of Israel was named
after Joseph, but his two sons were
remembered with all the other sons of
Jacob.
PelouBet well says that eve should
take great care to show that the
wealth and power to which Joseph at
tanned were not his SUCCESSFUL only

have been success, if alone. He could
have attained the largest and best

property must remain intact, as
though he were alive. until after the
death of his wives and the attaining

Then the property, apart from the por-
ton hequethed to the Church, Is TO be
equally divided among all his sur
viving children.
