LAID 1T ON TOO THICK.
6ereaved Husband Thought His Wife
Was Too Highly Praised.

The Maine papers are telling a story
Of young minister who on his first
charge was called upon TO preach fu-
neral sermon over woman. 1t was
his first funeral sermon and he laid
himself out to make an impression
and succeeded. The woman had had
her faults. but the minister forgot
them. This was to be expected, but
he extolled her so highly that the poor
bereayed husband. sitting there list
enirg, couldn't recognize her by the
description. Finally, in glowing
peroration he pictured God and the
archangels and the angels and all the
hosts of the redeemed joyously form
ing parade to welcome to Heaven
this 'one of the very best of all wom-
en-" The husband could stand it no
longer and, leaping up. interrupted
him with beckoning hand, gaspins
out: No, no, elder not quite that!
She was only bout middlin'."

Kings Visits to Ireland,

King Edward VII has paid in all
seven visits to Ireland. In 1S4S (when
he was made earl of Dublin) and again
in 1858 he accompanied the late queen
and the prince consort; in 1858 he
was attached to the Grenadier guards
at the Curragh camp, while he visited
the island again in 1864, 1868, 1871
and 1885. His majesty made his first
speech in Ireland in 1853. on the pres.
entation of new colors to the Royal
Hibernian school, when he was not
yet - years old.

Valuable to Gardeners,

The planter" is device for the
assistance of the gardener. 1t looks
like a pair of large curling tongs,
which when closed form a hollow
tube and taper to point. The plant
to be inserted into the ground is
placed in the tube portion, which is
then forced into the earth when the
implement is withdrawn. The opera
ton of planting and transplanting is
rendered easy, and the contrivance is
carried as conveniently as pair of
scissors.

Stopped the Criticism.

Senator Nelson of Minnesota is not
a Spanish scholar, and when he was
discussing the statehood bill he made
sad havoc of some of the names he
used. Senator Elkins, who speaks
and writes Spanish readily, enjoyed
the Minnesota mans performance
greatly. Maria Virgin" said Nelson,
pronouncing the name according to
English rules. "Mahreeah Veehil," +"
whispered Elkins to his next door
neighbor. "Jicarllas was given ordi-
nary pronunciation by the man from
the northwest, and Elkins said "Hica-
reeahs" SO that Nelson heard him. The
latter looked at the West Virginian for
moment and then lunged ahead. But
the look was enough; there was no
more audible criticism.

STATUS OF RUSSIAN WOMEN.
Peculiar State of Affairs in the Empire
Of the Gar.

We think that Russian women are
far behind American and English wom-
en- in business and professional eman-
cipatiCn. Yet in st. Petersburg you can
see one of the finest medical colleges
for women in the world, and quite as
many women doctors nourishinS as in
London.
The pictures one gets of Russian
prison life from Tolstoi and George
Kennan are terrible and revolving. But
Russia has model prison at Arch
angel, one of the finest in the world.
Again, from Tolstoi and from Gorky
one sees the peasants utterly without
liberty, without hope. But every vii
lsge has its mir" or village council,
where the advanced doctrines of local
option and women suffrage are carried
out, two things long fought fer unsuc-
cessfully in England.

FUNERAL SERMONS FAR APART.
Twenty Years Elapsed Between sup-
posed and Real Death.

Rev. T. f. Phillips of Pennsylvania.
who is on visit here to his brother.
X. S. Phillips of this city, is the hero
of a strange adventure. He preached
two funeral sermons, at an interval OF
twenty years, over the body of the
same man.
On the first occasion Mr.. Phillips
had just finished his ramrks at the
graveside when the supposed corpse
knocked on the coffin lid and asked to
be released from his prison. Twenty
years later Mr.. Phillips again stood by
the grave of the same man. This time
he preached a second funeral sermon.
The corpse did rot knock on the coffin
lid; the coffin remained unopened. The
man stayed dead.
A number of persons who heard the
first sermon also heard the last. 1t
was remarkable coincidence.-Sterl.

Courtesy in Sweden.

The Swedes are quiet taciturn
people. There is no jostling, even
among the lower classes. When a
train leaves platform or steam
boat pier the lookers-on lift their hats
to the departing passengers and bow
to them, compliment th:.t is returned
by the passengers. You are expected
to lift your hat to the shabbiest per-
son you meet in the street. and to en-
ter shop, office or bank with the hat
on is considered a bad breach of good
manners. In retiring from restaur-
ant you are expected to bow to the oc-
cupants. Bowing and hat-lifting are so
common that the people seem to move
around more slowly than elsewhere in
order to observe the courtesy.

Denunciation of Liquor Traffic,

Rev. D. J. O'Sullivan, a member of
the Vermont state legislature, is the
first Catholic priest ever elected to
that body. Mr.. O'Sullivan was invited
to attend a dinner given by the anti
prohibtionists, but was unable to at
tend. He wrote a letter in which he
said: Personally | am not irrevocably
welded to any system of regulating
the liquor traffic. | have never said
ona word against the prohibitory law,
but ! am heartsick of the sanctimoni-
Gus hypocrisy, the lying, the private
and public corruption and the whole
train of evils connected with its en-

Clarence parroW's Sarcasm.

Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago law
yer, addressed meeting in Philadel-
phia the other evening on "Tolstof the
Man." He expounded his views on
socialism in epigrammatic style, as
may be gathered from these sen.
tences: ut is vulgar for a rich man
to work. If he did WORK people would
think he wasn't rich. There are very,
very few rich men in Jail. Having
money, there are other places for them
to go. Most prisons have chapels so
