Two orltIOl.ms on sarmnn..

The Rev. DR.. w. S. Rainsford, rec.
tor of st. Georges church, New York
derives much enjoyment from the
criticisms of his sermons which he
hears from time to time. He has
an artful way Of calling forth these
expressions, and enjoys telling OF
some very frank replies he has receiv-
ed. He recently asked a young par
ishioner, who is an attentive listener:
well, Dorothy, how did you like
my Advent sermon?"
1T was very peculiar, DOCTOR" re-
piled the precocious 11-year-old. "You
read so many texts from the Bible"
The doctor missed from the services

New England stock, and sought her

Il have not seen you at church late

"The fact is, doctor, 1 have been go
ing to st. IS"
Don't you like st. George's?" the
clergyman asked.
YES" was the hesitating reply.
"but there is not enough hellhre in
your sermons. You are too easy on

A Bright Teacher.

In spite of all that has been written,
in spite of books, magazine articles and
newspaper articles, in spite of lectures,
stereopticon talks and social talks, the
fact remains that the bulk of people on
the mainland know very little about
US, says the Honolulu Star. It was
only the other day that one of the
teachers passing through to Manila
commented upon the fact that Homo
lulu had the appearance Of an Ameri-
can town. The reply was:
why, this is an American town.
You are still in the United States"
And then she said, do you know, I
always thought that the Hawaiian ISL

teach the Filipinos geography. 1t is to
be hoped her Asiatic geography is Of a
somewhat better brand than her cos

LIVING EXPENSES IN LONDON.

What the Diner Has to Pay In All Res
taurants
An American who, il the classical
language of his country, is at present
located" in London wants to know
whether any city in the world is quite
SO niggardly as our own. He has been
going the round of the London restau-
rants, and has encountered in the
management OF them a spirit which
distresses him.
There is, to begin with" he says,
a charge of from I'd to Cd for guard
Ing your hat and coat in the cloak
room, and tip in addition is expect
ed. You want to wash your hands
another I'd or another Cd, and an
other tip. You take up the menu, and
behold! there is an intimation that
charge of Sd each person will be made
under the guise of table money This
charge varies according to the nature
OF the place-3d is the lowest, Cd per-
haps the average; at a great many res
taurants 1t is Is, and in at least two
tnat l have visited, Is Id.
The only difference is that
In the lower-priced restaurants
1t is called table money and
in the higher-priced ones placed under
the captivating heading of convert. To
my mind an entrance fee, frankly de-
manded at the door, would be much
less offensive than to find yourself
asked at the end of a dinner to pay for
the trouble and expense of cleaning up
the cutlery you have used"
His conclusion of the whole matter
is that London lives by imposing a
fixed tariff on the accessories that in
every other city have ever been to
are thrown in gratis" and he thinks
that being a gentleman is one of the
most expensive professions an Eng
1shman can have. He declares it to
be an utter delusion that London is
cheap place to live in.-London

thud when they came together. "Jis'

He sat upon a stool and stuck his
fingers through the boot-straps, in

He whacked the offending article

found in the Methodist Discipline.
The old woman gurgled in her throat.
Uncle Snad regarded her suspiciously.
She snored and he was treasured.
~Ereezin' to DEATH" said the poor,
suffering old gentleman. He filled the
stove half full of cobs, saturated the
mass with kerosene, and set a match
to it, eying the confagration with
much satisfaction. Then he made
another try, pulling, straining until
his face was purple with cold and the
axertion and his toes were almost
squeezed Off

and the old man turned back somer..

other sickening, dull thud, while the
boot hit the ceiling and fell back. with

Bombardinx the skv.

Prof. Willis L. Moore of the agricul-
tural department in a recent report
ridicules the idea that storms of any
kind may be induced, dispelled or con-
trolled by bombarding the clouds.
Prof. Cleveland Able of the weather
bureau agrees with his conclusions
and in recent paper criticises Prof.
Franklin's argument for the rational
FEASIBILITY and possible effectiveness
of cannonading the sky with vortex
rings for the prevention Of hailstorms.
DR.. Moore and DR.. Able should know
that great many people in Europe
besides ignorant peasants believe that
hailstorms may be averted by the in
fiuence of explosives, and the faith
they profess is too we'll grounded in
experience, or what passes for expert
ence, to be shaken by anybody's ipse

PHILADELPHIA "MUMMERs".
New Years Qualifications Are Said to Be
Carried Too Far.

Carried Too Far.
A certain reaction against the ex-
cess of New Years Publications is APP
parent in Philadelphia. The parade Of
"mummers" or shooters" has long
been a fixture of the holiday there, the
participants being mostly working
mems clubs arrayed in fancy or gro
tesque garb. An intense rivalry OBJ
tains between these clubs, and expendi-
lures for effect are often out of all pro-
portion to the means of the num-
mers or the worthiness of the end.
This year the city offered prizes for
the best fancy dress and comic clubs.
and thousands of men paraded between
spectators estimated at half million.
But as in the Mardi Gras festivals OF
the South, many of the participants
went to exuberant extremes, and the
more sober-minded critics of Philadel-
phia are calling for moderation and re-
form, particularly on the part of those
who choose to parade in women's garb.

Overshoes for Horses.

Superintendent Hankinson says that
there is great ignorance on the part Of

way, he says, is to put blanket I'M

give him a whack and he is up" su-
perintendent Hankinson has been ex-
perimenting for some time and he says
he will soon have completed an over
shoe which drivers can carry about as
they do feed bags, and put them on
their horses when the streets become
suddenly slippery. He believes that a
law will be passed forcing drivers to
use it. That will be notable improve
ment, and it ought to be worth paving
