Science Of Eating Soup.

There is reason for everything,
and therefore Mary Taylor explains
IN What to Eat" why We imbibe cur
soup in the manner we do. Every
tody has not thought out this import
ant question and the information will
at least prove interesting. According
to Mary Taylor, who seems to be an
authority. the proper thing is to dip
the spoon in the soup, turning the
lowl of the spoon away from one and
executing a curve which is completed
when it reaches the mouth. This.
she says. is scientific, for thus a COM
plete circle is described from the time
you start to take the mouthful until
the contents of the spoon reach your
mouth. and by doing so the circular
movement you make keeps the soup in
the bowl according to the law of cen.
tripetal force.

How Minister Saved Situation.

The Bishop of LANDAU at Newport
mislaid his robes and had to preach
without them. and elsewhere a clergy
man forgot that he had undertaken to
conduct the service, which was con-
sequently dispensed with.
But in neither case did the people
suffer from clerical remissness, like
a Scottish congregation mentioned in
his "reminiscences by Sir Archibald
Geikie. who tells how the minister
neglected 10 bring the manuscript of
his sermon and had to make time to
go home, mile off, and fetch 1t. Al
most distracted, he gave out the 113th
Psalm. and directly the congregation
began to sing the first of the 176
verses he rushed away to the manse,
from which he by and by returned
to the church breathless, finding the
clerk waiting uneasily.
How are you getting on?" he gasp
ed. "Oh, sir" said the clerk, they've
got to the end of the eighty-fourth
verse. an they're cheepin' like wee
mice!' The pious congregation was
exhausted. but the situation was
