Prlma Donna and Her Voice.

Once upon time there was a IA
nous prima donna who made con-
tract with a noted impresario to sing
in concerts for him at price which
made each of her notes of about the
value of 81.
All went well until the prima donna
found a dressing room assigned to her
that did not meet with her approval.
Then she complained that she was en-
tirely too hoarse to sing, and the i'm
presario had to make polite remarks to
his audience and dismiss it after re-
funding the money paid for admission.
The remarks that he made out of the
hearing of the audience were not so
polite.
Moral.-IDpresarios wish that they
might have hoarseless prima donnas.-

Looking Up.

The lecturer pleaded with the crowd
to look up" In impassioned tones he
cried: "God always helps the man
that looks up, Never look down, my
friends. and do not waste too much
time looking sideways. Look up, and
keep on looking up! L never knew a
man to fail if he looked up. Is there
a man in this audience who can say
that he always looks up?
b.. \ seedy stranger arose in the back
row to say: Il can say that L always
look up. l have steadily looked up
for thirty years, and am no better of
for it. Looking up is my business"
What do you do for living, my
good MANI
I'm n ceiling decorator"
The uproarious applause that greeted
this sally broke up the meeting.-New

An ENGLISH sanctuary.

Beverley minister, $50 miles north OF
London, is the shrine of st. John of
Beverley, who died in the year 721.
In 93S Athelstan, king of England,
gave several privileges to the monas-
terry, one being the privilege of sane
tuary. This was. not merely for man
Staying; it was open to all wrongdoers
except those who had been guilty Of
treason. For ordinary offenses, such
as horse stealing, cattle stealing, being
backward in accounts or being in re-
ceipt of suspected goods, Il man came
into sanctuary about n mile from the
monastery or church. There used to be
four crosses on the main roads leading
to Beverley marking the limit of the
area. In cases of manslaughter and
murder it was not sufficient to be with
in one of these crosses. Before the
fugitive could claim sanctuary he must
enter the church and seat himself in Il
stone chair known as the ''frid stool
or freed chair" To this place many
fed for refuge from all parts of the
country.
