BritiaA Parsons Have Some Curious Ways
of Advertising.

The Rev. j. II. Scott, rector of
Spitalfelds, sent out a notice which
read as follows: "If you want smoke
(free) come next Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock to Christ Church Hall A
free cup of tea if you like. Tobacco
gratis" Two hundred persons re-
sponded to his invitation. To each
man was given enough tobacco for a
couple of pipes, and the gentlemen who
We're to conduct the services also
lighted up" After good, long
smoke the services began, and when
they were over cup of tea with bread
and marmalade was given to each one
present. "Wery nice and sociable-like,
to be sure" the congregation pro-
nounced the Reverend Scott. A Meth
odist clergyman at Barrow was taking
walk around his parish the other
day. when he saw two women hard at

minutes work at that there dolly

the minister threw off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves and had his arms deep
in the suds. For ten minutes he wosh-
ed away like veteran laundress and
then went away. telling the men ne
should expect them to keep their part
of the bargain. His congregation was
increased by half a dozen the next
Sunday, and two of the men are now
regular members of his congregation.
Lord Rupert Cecil, the Marquis Of
Salisbury's son, has posted a notice
outside of Hatfield church, of which ne

James Chapel Royal has made a de.

dinner. One or two other clergymen

their services by having Mrs. James

ODD CASE OF MIND CURE.
Breaking OF Thermometer Cures
Woman of Fever.

breaking of Thermometer cures
Woman of Fever.
A prominent Philadelphia physi-
clan. who has looked skeptically upon
all the new theories of curing disease
without medicine, says he has recently
seen an instance of the influence OF
the mind over the body that has
greatly surprised him. One of his
patients. a woman who ten years ago
was saved from wreck at sea, has
since been subject to attacks OF feNer
regularly once a year. AS there seem
ed to be no particular reason for these
SPELLS of Illness his usual treatment
Las been to send her out of town, and
the change was always beneficial. This
year, however, a wedding in the fam
lily prevented the trip, and the fever
increased with such severity that the
doctor became seriously alarmed. One
day the patients temperature was abb
normally high. and the doctor, to see
if the heat of the atmosphere could
partially explain it, took a thermome-
ter from the wall to note the tempera-
ture of the room. The instrument
slipped through his fingers and fell to
the floor, breaking the glass tube
Turning to his patient, he saw that her
face was less flushed, and as he felt her
pulse and watched her, the fever rap
idly abated and left her quickly. The
thermometer had been on the wrecked
vessel. and it was always on the an
niversary of the day of the wreck that
the fever appeared 1t was inferred
that at these times the woman's nerves
had responded to the terror and anX-
iety of that experience. and the break
ing of the thermometer had shattered
the nervous strain of memory kept
alive by it's Observation-Disclosures
Record.

The boys who had faced Spanish

THE QUEENS PREACHER.

How Bishop Carpenter Preached to the
ScuIlery Maid.
OF Dr. Boyd Carpenter, the bishop
of Ripon, whose preaching was much
admired by the late Queen Victoria.
the following remark is quoted by
writer in Black and White:
81 never address the queen at all.
he told somebody who asked him IL he
felt nervous when preaching before
Queen Victoria. Il know that there
will he present the queen, the princes,
the household and the servants down
to the scullery maid, and | preach to

the scullery maid" The remark is
typical of the man. Dir. Carpenter has
always been a royal favorite, but he is
infinitely happier in the cottage than
in the palace He is not ashamed to
ride in bus. and he has often told
the story of a penny ride from West
