FOUND ADVICE WAS EXPENSIVE
The Unpleasant Experience of Parsi-
moniOus Legislator.

The Unpleasant Experience of Parsi-
monions Legislator.
There is much amusement in Ores
den Parliamentary circles over little
joke which was played on one of the
oldest members. The gentleman in
question, although somewhat miserly,
is very popular. Recently he injured
his finger, and, not caring to consult
his own doctor, sought the advice of
a brother member. an M. D., who
told him what to do.
On the following day. however, the
old gentleman received a bill of 10
shillings from the doctor for medical
attendance. In his perplexity he con-
fided in another colleague-a lawyer
this time-who pointed out his liability
and advised him to pay the bill.
The aged members astonishment
can best be imagined when he received
later the lawyers claim for 10 shill-
ings for advice given" He indig-
nantly complained to third member
of this unbrotherly treatment, but this
third gentleman, entering into the
joke, brought the matter before the
committee which decides personal diff
ferences of the members.
Here the case turned against the
accuser, and he was impeached for ire
fusing to acknowledge justified
claims and gravely sentenced to-buy
case of champagne. The expensive
finger is now quite well.

ADVICE GIVEN BY SCOTCH pARsoN
Minister Set Twenty Drinks a nay as
the Limit OF Moderation.

the Limit OF ModeratloDs
A Scotch parson once preached a
long sermon against dram drinking,
a vice very prevalent in his parish, and
from which report said he was not
himself wholly exempt.
Whatever we do, brethren" said he,
"do it in moderation, and, aboon all
be moderate in dram-drinl1ing. When
you get up, indeed, We may TAX dram,
and anither just before breakfast, and
perhaps anither after; but dinna pc
always dram-drinking.
IF We are out in the morn, ye
may just brace yerself up with anither
dram, and perhaps take anither be-
fore luncheon, and some, l fear, tax
ane after, which is no so very blam-
able, but dinna be always dram-dram-
ing away.
Naebody can scruple for one just
afore dinner and when the desert Is
brought in, an after it's ta'en away;
and, perhaps ane, or it may be twa, in
the course of the afternoon, just to
keep ye fra browsing and smoothing;
but dinna be always dram-dram-dram-
ing.
"Afore tea, and after tea, and be-
tween tea and supper. and before and
after supper, is no more than right
and good; but let me caution ye,
brethren, not to be always dram-dram-
ing.
Just when We start for bed, and
when ye're ready to pop into't, and
perhaps when you wake in the night,
to take dram or twa is no more than
a Christian man may lawfully do;
but, brethren. let me caution you not
to drink more than I've mentioned, or
may be We may pass the bounds OF
moderation" mirror.

New York Paper Tells of a Somewhat
Pathetic Happening.

New York Paper Tells of Somewhat
Pathetic Happening.
His face was very white and tired
and the deep lines in it showed plainly
that he was either in the clutch of
new illness or was only just recover
ing from an old ole. He had found a
seat in corner of one of the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with baby and child five or six
years old entered. No one offered
them seat; the sick man looked at
the woman and the babies, and it was
evident he was engaged in a great
wrestling match with his sense of
courtesy. Presently his sense Of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act. She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees. The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fiji
tieth street q passenger left the seat
next to the woman and two babies.
The sick man started for it anxiously,
but before he had reached it the wo-
man had lifted the child that had been
leaning against her knee into the seat.
The sick man CROPPED feebly for his
strap. Then the seat next to the older
child became vacant Again the man
started for it, but he was weaker in
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained his balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown Office boy, hanging from a

of line, and in considerably loud
voice. shouted to the sick man, That's

Paris prohibits Plaoards.

In Paris it was usual at every gen.
eral election to see all the public build
ings disfigured by the enormous guam
tity of election addresses and other
placards posted upon them. At the
time of the Boulanger incidents bill
posters would follow in rapid success
sion and stick bill upon bill untiA
there was not more than one inch of
paper. The extremely ugly effect of
such placards and the damage done by
scraping down the posters after the
electoral battle induced the chamber
to make law prohibiting the posting
(up of placards on what was termed
artistic monuments.-Paris Messenger.
