E1asperating Chapa.

EEoVtoence Journal.
 Excuse the slang" said q gentle man who appeared to be on exeep- tienally good terms with himself, but been laying for and I had him dead to rights. You know the man I mean. There are several him. He wants you to envy him in winter because he's in comfortable glow when you're in blue shiver, and he mocks you in summer because you're burned on the edges while he's cool and calm and collected. You meet him some Arctic morning when you're all bundled up and remark that it's cold.
 'Coldr he repeats, as if he never heard the word before. He is never cold, he asserts, and he wears no overcoat, mind you. The no-overcoat business is his long suit. It's the same way in summer. He pretends he isn't hot, even if he's broken out into a slight flame inside. The other night I stood in drug store and watched one of these abnormal, partially clad spec. linens as he waited for a car on one of our Providence corners. 1t was a bitter night and the wind was in a playful mood. At any rate, it was having fun with this man. He thought nobody was looking and he shook like a toy spaniel locked up in an ice chest, stamped his feet, rubbed his ears and blew on his fingers. Good enough for you whispered for my- self. I wouldn't care if a white frost settled on you and left spots.' This noon hailed him.
 How'd you come out of your ftr inquired. beaming on him. What htr he replied. That ague ft you were throwing on weybosset Street at II o'clock last evening. l explained You sounded at one time as if some body was dropping butter plates on the sidewalk. but 1t was only the chatter of your teeth, I guess.'
 He surrendered reluctantly. Well, he growled. an overcoat wouldn't keep me from freezing No, said I, but it might keep you 7from lying"

ADDREss TO EMPEROR.
Conservative Address of Assembly Oi

Conservative Address of Assembly of NObIes Adopted. Moscow, Feb. 1.-The assembly of nobles today voted on two addresses to the Emperor and the conservative ad- dresses was adopted. 21e to 14s. Af- ter a lengthy discussion. however. the assembly decided to forward both the liberal and conservative addresses to his majesty.
 A despatch from Moscow last We'd nesday said that the two drafts of the resolutions were In circulation, one in- sisting on the absolute maintenance of the autocracy and the other asking political freedom for Russia, urging the government to make necessary changes in the law to enable a rep resentative assembly to be coIAvoked and appealing to the throne to issue manifesto assuring the country of It's intention to take step to this end. without which 1t would be impossible | to restore tranquility to the country. At a meeting Friday 1t was decided to vote for a modified form of address. in effect that the nobility were eager l iy awaiting a word from the Emperor which would show that the bonds unit | ing the throne and the people were still unhroken and that the Emperor would, when he deemed advisable. summon elective representatives of the people to have a share in the govern ment.
 The conservative address declares the present troubulous time is not the right moment to consider any reor- ganization of the system of govern ment and exhorts the autocratic Elm peror to rule in consciousness of his strength. for in greatness his power 1 lies.

him, was in the habit of prompting
him when he came to hard words he
could not read.
One morning it was his turn to read
the Bible aloud at devotions. He got
along finely until he got a difficult
passage. when he stopped:
"And the Lord spoke unto Moses"
whispered Charlie, who was behind
him looking over his shoulder.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses"
