An embarrassing predleament.

DR.. King, the bishop Of Lincoln,
once found himself in G most en-
barrassing predicament. He was as
sisting at the opening ceremony of
q. bazaar, which was being held in
aid of the Nurses institution nur=
ing the course Of the proceedings it
was discovered that pickpockets had
been at work, and several ladies pro-
claimed the loss Of their purses.
The fact was communicated to the
bishop, who expressed his regret, at
the same time examining his own
pockets in the hope Of finding moth
ing gone.
He was not disappointed-noth-
ing was gone. He was, however,
surprised, for from one of his peck
cts he brought q strange purse that
he had never seen before. It con-
tanned three ccppers and was ulti-
mately discovered to belong to a
Mrs. Ellis, a lady who was present
and among those lamenting the loss
of their purses. It is c~onjectured
that the thief was q person with a

Thin Veneer

Fewpeople have any idea how thin
q sheet of veneer may be cut with
the aid of improved machinery.
There is a firm in Paris which
makes a business of cutting veneers,
and to such perfection have they
brought it that from q single tusk
thirty inches long they will cut a
sheet Of ivory $50 inches long and
30 inches wide. Some Of the
sheets Of rosewood and mahogany
!aretonly about q fftieth Of an inch
in thickness. Of course they cannot
cut all woods SO thin as this, for the
grain Of many varieties is not suM-
GENTLY close to enable such. fine
work to be done, but the sheets of
lockwood, maple and other woods
Of this character arc often SO thin
as TO be translucent.
