\ The following is a good example of Inappropriate quotations: A clergyman appointed to an East End living found his parish church sadly in need of re pair and gave orders for its renovation
 While this was in hand the idea oc- cured to him to visit the mission halls in connection with it to see what might be needed there. In one of them which was used as a mission chapel he found a state of indescribable filth from end to end and an accompanying effiuvia. In disgust he raised his eyes toward the roof and could hardly repress fit of laughter on reading the text sten- ciled on the wall behind the pulpit, "How dreadful is this place" Another story is of an old Presbyterian clergy man who, away on preaching engage ment, found above the bed on which he was to sleep the singular advice, "Oc- cupy till come."-London Chronicle.

A Picturesuue Statesmam,

The Ell Dorado Republican gives pic ture of an early statesman and his pie turesque attire: When the Hon. David l.. McCabe was elected to the legisla- ture from Butler county in 1865 and went to Topeka to be sworn in he as- tonished not only the natives, but ev- .erybody else, as fle was the most gor- g&ously dressed statesman that Kansas had ever produced. He was very dark, with long black dlair. On his head was Ia coonskin cap, the tail of the coonskin hanging gracefully down his back. His coat was made of wolfskins nicely tan ned and lined with red flannel Six handsome tails hung from his coat tails and Tapped in the breeze as he mean dered up to the speakers desk to take the oath. He wore a spotted doeskin vest, buckskin knee brooches, hand somely fringed; top boots, gloves made of beaver skin, a watch chain done in sbeadwOrk, flannel shirt with a flam- ing red bandanna pocket handkerchief around his neck, and it is needless to say he created a sensation.

Pudd1nE at < .. < of Dinner. The custom Cf serving pudding as tine first course at dinner seems to have in terested d good many people of our day. A gentleman from Maine in forms the writer that it is still the GUS tom in certain sections of his state. In
 the Autobiography of the Adams fami- ly it is mentioned that at a dinner giv- en by the venerable eX-president of the
 United States. at which his grand children were present, the first course was Indian pudding, and the little folks were told that the more pudding they ate the more beef they could have. So of course they gorged them selves on the pudding, and as a con- sequence they had no appetite for beef when it was served. Thus were main tained the simple and economical meth. ods of the forefathers. The boys who came to the city from the country and later became the successful and wealthy merchants of Boston were rais- ed in most frugal manner. Their breakfast the year round was of brown bread and milk and the same for their supper. The dinner was of baked beans and pie, rarely any meat.-Bos- ton Transcript.
