The Pagan.

Peter was dying, and he had been a
friend Of mine as long as | could re-
member. He had gone to work under
ground at the age of seven. He had
never been properly fed. Every day he
had come sweating to the surface after
climb of 200 fathoms, had changed
and walked couple of miles to his
clean, cheerless cottage. Now he was
fifty-fve, and he looked seventy, and
heart and lungs had given out. He
knew that he was near the end and
still kept his philosophy. He was as
honest a man as ever lived, and it had
often seemed strange that he was al
most the only man in that village of
Methodists who had no religion. He
lay dying and was content except for
the fact that he could no longer enjoy
tobacco. One day 1 sat by his bed
when the doctor came. He was a shy
man and very earnest Christian, and
he was fond of Peter. l knew that he
had something he was desperately anx-
ious to say, and I was on the point Of
taking my leave when he spoke, drop
ping, as one did with Peter. into the
old caressing dialect:
''Where do zee think youm goin' to,
Peter, when you do die?'
Peter looked up at him with the

Meaning of "sophomore.n y

Says a literary man. II used to
think that the word sophomore was
made up of the Greek word signifying
wise and the English word more The
word was thus applicable, l thought,
to the second class in a college because
they were more wise than their fell
lows in their own estimation. But it
seems that the word has purer gene
alogy and a meaning even less fiatter-
ing to the class of collegians to whom
it is applied. 1t was first used at the
University Of Cambridge, England, and
in its infancy appeared in the form
'soph-mor.' 1t was composed of the
word 'soph,' contraction for 'sophis-
ter and Greek word meaning fool
ish (moros). -

LIVING IN LONDON.
IT Is Not a Good Place For Man of
Small Income.

n Is Not a Good Place For a Man of
Small Income.
An American who in 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 town. He has
been going the round of the London
restaurants and has encountered in the
management of them a spirit which
distresses him. "There is, to begin
with" he says, "a charge of from two
pence to sixpence for guarding your
hat and coat in the cloakroom, and a
tip in addition is expected You want
to wash your hands another twopence
or another siXpence and another tip.
You take up the menu, and, behold,
there is an intimation that a charge of
threepence each person will be made
under the guise of table money The
charge varies according to the nature
of the place. Threepence is the lowest
and sixpence perhaps the average. AT
great many restaurants it is 1 shil
ling and in at least two that have Wis
tied Is. Sd. The only difference is
that in the lower priced restaurants it
is called table money and in the high
er priced ones placed under the capti-
waiting heading of CONVERT To my
mind, an entrance fee frankly demand
ed at the door would be much less Of
fensive than to find yourself asked at
the end of dinner to pay for the trou-
BILE and expense of cleaning up the cut
lery you have used.'
His conclusion of the whole matter is
that London lives by imposing fixed
| tariff on the accessories that in every
other city l have ever been to are
thrown in gratis" and he thinks that
being a gentleman is one of the most
| expensive professions an Englishman
| can have. He declares it to be an ut
| ter delusion that London is a cheap
! place to live in. "For the poor man."
he says, 1.-The man whose income is less
than $500 a year, there is no city where
less can be had in the way of comforts
and even the necessities of life. In
New York it is only the luxuries that
cost. The expenses of everyday living
may be as great or as small as one
cares to make them. New York, in
fact, is laid out for the poor man.
From the transportation system to the
price of such Fundamental charges on
the household treasury as coal. ice,
fuel, meat, bread, milk and fruit, al
most everything conspires to bring him
in good return for very small out
lay. All these things are cheaper in
New York than in London. London

When Anice reached the pavement,
breathless and pale, she could see
down the narrow street runaway au-
tomobile, with frightened barehead-
ed boy clinging to the seat and scream
ing frantically.
She ran blindly after him, dizzy
with visions of a sickening collision on
the street car line few blocks away.
A burly policeman joined in the chase,
and recruits swarmed up, seemingly
from the ground.
Suddenly tall young man in a long
ulster appeared around the corner
ahead of the flying White Arrow.
"Jam your lever back" he shouted.
But poor Nose was too frightened to
obey. He only clung tighter to the
controller, pushing it to the third
notch. The carriage shot forward. AS
it bowled toward the tall young man
he sprang out almost directly in it's
path.
He waited till it sped alongside, then
quick as a flash flung himself on the
rear of the auto. Grasping the pro-
jecting axle, he swung himself up,
then reached over the back of the seat
and seized the controller.
Lift your foot" he commanded.
Nose, with face very white under it's
dirt obeyed meekly.
"Now, youngster, where did you get
this machine?'
The tall young man seated himself
calmly, backed the runabout slowly
and turned it around, following the
direction of Noses trembling finger.
Miss Anice was waiting to receive
them at the crossing.

''Yes, l thought so,'' she said very

Then she bravely flew the flag of un-

Bishop Potter is an enthusiastic
golf player. Some time ago he was
on the links at S%aranac, accompanied
by a caddie who was himself a golfer
of acknowledged skill. The bishop
made ready for a mighty drive, and
with one tremendous sweep he topped
the ball. OF course, he was deprived
of the consolation which in such cases
serves to sooth the temper of the lay
man. All he said vas

Emile Juval, the blind French sa-
want, has had a paper read before the
Academy of Medicine wherein he con
tends that blind people have an aston.
ishsng sixth sense, by which they can
divine obstacles at a distance and
avoid them.
This sense should not be COMPOUNDED
with the sense of touch. He explains
this phenomenon as being analogous
to that of %perceiving heat when one
approaches the fire. The heat is felt
not because of touch, but by virtue OF
vibratory action.
Tr. Juval thinks that a similar vi
b%rstion, probably electrical, may ex
plain why a blind man divines distant
obstacles and avoids them. He adds
thai the absepse of'one, sense does not
necessarily imply a greater develop
mept of the others. 1t is habit only
which developes a high sense of touch
in the blind.

exact, you'll tell the gentlemen Of the
jury the size of the drops of rain" Il

ton they varied in size from a shilling
to eighteenpence!"
This hazy view of the size of drops
of rain is somewhat suggestive of a
drop too much of another sort, and
reminds me of another. whose absurd
ity is due to the provision of q drop
too little, or, rather, a drop OF the
wrong sort. A priest who Is a total

ing that he did not hold the same
views as himself on the drink ques-
ton, went to the village grocer and
ordered a bottle of port. This was
duly delivered and decanted by his
reverence.
At dinner time he Hospitality poured
out a glass and said: There, Cousin

critically. and then said: We'll, Cou-
