One afternoon when vOyaging 70 In

chair, when a little lady of three or
four summers let her ball fly into his
face, whence it rolled to his feet.
Lord Kitchener woke up says NJ. A.

basilisk gaze before which the hearts
Of strong men have often turned to wa
ter. But the child was in nowise
abashed. "Pick up my ball." she said
imperatively. Lord Kitchener frown-
ed and answered not. "Pick up my
ball" reiterated the small damsel in
sistently. "Have not you got a nurseT
said Lord Kitchener in an awful voice
The interrogative mood was answered
by the imperative, "Pick up my ball"
Lord Kitchener looked round despair
ingly, but re-enforcements were not in
sight. "Where is your mOtherl' he
said weakly. "Pick up my ball." re-
peated the girl. The ultimatum was
delivered in crescendo tones, which sug-
gested the imminence Of something
worse to follow, and Lord Kitchener
meekly complied. Then he fed incon-
tinently to the smoke room.

Early chri.tinn CursinE..

Cursing, it may be observed, contin-
ued in full vigor in Christian times. Of
ten harmonizing i'll with our modern
notions Of Christianity. Some are al
most horrible in their ferocity, as when
the violator Of the tomb is told that
"he will be accursed- of God forever
or that 'he will give account to God,
who will Judge the quick and the
dead" There is one which perhaps
will rats1er provoke a smile. The Of
fender is threatened with the curse
Of all the fathers Of the Nicene coun-
ell. "He that throws rubbish in this
inclosure," the inscription runs, "has
the anathema from the 31S fathers as
an enemy OF Cod"
Sidney Smith once alluded to a forty
parson power-of preaching. If we re-
member aright-but the anathematiz-
ing ability of 31S Nicene fathers is a
much more appalling idea, and there
is ludicrous contrast between this
terrible but vague penalty and the very
prosaic and familiar offense.-Macmil-

During Anthony Trollope's early
days in the postofice It was the Gus
tom for the junior clerks to take turns
in the waiting room to answer ques-
tons. One day, when Trollope was
on duty, a young woman came to make
some complaint. and she went away
much displeased and upset by what
she considered to be the gross rude
ness with which she had been treated
by him.
Next day. TroHope being again on
whiting room duty. two stalwart young
men appeared, and. having ascertain
ed that they were in the company Of
the clerk who had been in attendance
there on the previous day, they shut
the door and proceeded TO give A. T.
a most severe thrashing. The pair to
gether completely overpowered the fu.
ture novelist, whom they informed
when they had sufficiently chastised
him, that this was punishment for his
insolence TO the young woman who
had called at the office on the previous
day and who was their sister.-West-
