Convincing.

An Irishman somewhat under the
influence of liquor, ambling towards
home on a recent evening, happened
to pass church, and, being attracted
by the sound of music, paused for a
while and then staggered towards the
entrance.
with his natural bump of caution,
however, he looked up at the spire to
see that the proper kind of cross was
on it, for to the mind of most good
Catholics it would be almost sacri-
lege to go into Protestant church.
He saw the cross, which apparently
satisfied his scruples, and he went in,
sitting down in pew near the door.
The heat being somewhat oppres.
sive, he fell asleep.
After the service had ended, the
sexton began at the altar to turn out
the lights.
Coming down the aisle, he tripped
over the foot of the sleeping man in
the pew, and, looking down, diagnosed
the case in a moment.
He gave the sleeping man a shake
and said, "See here, my good man
wake up and get out of here at once,
You are in the wrong place anyway
this is not your church."
The Irishman sat up, rubbed his
eyes, and developing an augumenta-
tive strain, said in a rather thick,
cultural voice
st amt my church Whose church
is 1t If 1t amt mine ?"
"This is the Protestant Episcopal
Church"
"It's no sich thing"

. He Strengthened himself up, and,
pointing a waveringl finger towards
the altar, said
"Isn't that the statue of St. Joseph
up there on the right ?"
The sexton was forced to reply in
the affirmative.
"Ain't that the Virgins statute on
the left ?"
"Yes," replied the sexton.
What Is that in the centre ?"
"That Is the statue of our Saviour"
The Irishman, with look of ming.

TEAS THAT ARE

Many expositions Of stupcndous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is n vast and distinct

acres of wonderful things-wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe Is
represented. Every state and territory
Is here with its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is u wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason Of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her TO make dis.
play of teas thattwe should not for.

Mention has been made of the word
"chop" in connection with tea, and il
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
