Too Much for Him.

There is a story of layman who
conducted a service one day for
western mission. He had been a stout
old soldier in his time but his knowl-
edge Of Hebrew was limited. and his
pronunciation of unfamiliar Bible
names a thing to wonder at.
When he opened the Bible ihat day
he could not at once find the place, and,
after turning the pages nervously, in
the face of a tittering Aggregation,
he finally took passage at random and
began TO read. AS i'll luck would have
it, he lighted upon one of the genealog-
zeal chapters in Ezra, and there he
struggled hopelessly through half a
column of Hebrew names, seeking all
the time for better luck.
At length he turned the page in the
vain desire of seeing some change in
the substance of the chapter on the
other side. What he found proved too
much for him. and. after one fright
ened glance, he thus concluded his
reading:
''And a page and a half more of the
same kind, brethren. Here endeth the
first lesson"

her; she told all of her acquaintance
that she and poor dear Frances"
were going abroad as soon as hostili-
tics closed; that the child was simply
worked down. And in the face of this
tender solicitude and the old lady's de-

FREE TRADE NOT WANTED.
Probable Agitation of the TnriH
Question by Advocates of
Reform.

Some OF the newspapers of free
trade leaning are advocating the re-
peal or modification Of the Dingley tar
III law as a mark OF good will toward
the foreign nations in whose markets
our surplus products are now being
sold. There is no doubt that the tariff
question will be agitatcu considerably
between now and the opening of the
next session OF congress in Decem-
Der, and attempts will be made to
break down the protective wall.
Significance is being attached to the
remarks of NJ Jules Siegfried. the for
mer minister of commerce and INDUS
try of France, who is visiting the
United States. to the effect that if the
INVASION of European markets by
American trusts continues, there is
likely to be a combination of the com
mercial countries of Europe for the
purpose of putting a practically pro-
hibitory tariff upon American prod
ucts. This is taken 10 mean that free
trade must supplant protection in our
fiscal policy If We are 10 hold our own
i'm the markets OF the world.
Reciprocity, however, is the means
ny WhIch European nations are 10 ne
prevented from taking action hostile
TO American commercial interests. By.
means of reciprocity treaties, which
are authorized by the Dinglcy law, am
icablc trade relations between this
country and individual countries in Eu-

Under reciprocity treaties all the

The Good Nntured Queen.

a characteristic story is told of two
church dignitaries who were one day
yis-a-vis at a dinner party with Queen
Victoria at Windsor. One was a
courtly, polished cleric, high in her
majcsty's good graccs. the other a
blunt but important parsonage whose
rank entitled him to position on tho
queens right hand. She talked to
him FOR some time. and then. turned
to Dean -, referring accurately to
the dramatis personac of n long past
event. What "A wonderful memory
your majesty has" murmured the
dean, suavely. Nonsense, interposcd
his brother cleric. its nothing OF
the kind. I told her majesty all that
myself five minutes ago." And hor-
rifcd guests, who almost expected TO
see the earth open and swallow up
