If the Rev Joseph Andersen, D. D., should drop into Waterbury this week and walk along East Main street be- tween the hours of 4:30 and 5 In the morning and 0:3O ands7 in the evefl- ing, he would be more surprised than ever at the great outp0ufng' of Cath olics to attend the mission services in the church of the Immaculate COnccp- ton. It has been a pleasing sight to many outside the Catholic faith and 1t should work for the great good of the whole community. ,,,..., ps,,..a. a ,fs.
 The most beautiful volume among the half million In the Congressional Library at Washington ,tis said, is a Bible, which was transcribed by n monk in the sixteenth century. It could not be matched to-day in the best printing office in the world. The parchment is in perfect preservation: Every one of its thousand pages Is a study. The general lettering is in German text, each letter perfect, with out scratch or blot from lid to lid. At the beginning of each chapter the first letter is very large, usually two or three inches long, and is brightly illuminated in red and blue ink. With In each of these capitals Is drawn the figure of some saint, some incident of which the chapter tells. There are two columns in page, and nowhere Is traceable the slightest irregularity of line spaces or formation of the let ters. Even under a magnifying glass they seem fiawless. This precious volume Is kept under a glass case, which is sometimes lifted to show that all the pages are as perfect as the two which lie open.
 Every little while there is an outcry against the practices of tea and coffee drinking. Lately it has been alleged that the degeneracy observed in the lower classes of Great Britain Is largely due to the immense quantity of tea which is drunk in that Kingdom. Without any doubt, few people do drink too much tea, and would be better without it. But tea drinking. as in China, may be the salvation of a people from much greater evils. The decoction has at least the advantage Of having been sterilized by heat, and water drinking in China has its dangers, as many an old traveller can testify. The immense quantities of tea used without apparent damage by some of the most robust peoples in the world, other than the Chinese, such, for example, as the Russians, the Hudson Bay voyageurs, and the lumbermen of the North. does not tes- tify to its evil effects on general health, under proper conditions. For cold country 1t is almost m ideal stimulant. reviving the energies. even after almost apparently complete ex- haustion, and affording feeling of comfort that hardly anything else can give, and this without any noticeable uncomfortable after effects.
 An ancient screed which, despite It's antiquity, has been resurrected to at- test the average editors capability of verbal self-defense when with the in- chiostro wand of his profession in hand inspiration flows from its magic source in dlalectic streams tinged with the essence of didacticism. Is eviden- ced by the following effusfon:
 In prOmulgating your esoterfc cogi- -tations of articulating tour sgpeE1Slal and afnicabie, piiio- sophical or psychological ponderosity.
 Let your conversational communion tions possess a clarified conciseness. a compacted comprehensibleness. coal. escent consistency and contalemated cogency.
 Eschew all conglomerations of flat ulent garrulity. jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.
 Let your extemporaneous descant- ings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vi- vacity without rhodomontade or thra- sonical bombast.
 Eednlosly avoid all polysyllabic pro- fundity, pompous prolixity. psitaceous .vacuity, ventriloquical verboeity and .vanaliquent vapidity. 'shun double en- tendres. prurient jocosIty and pestifer. ou profanity, obscured or apparent
 In other words. talk plainly, briefly, naturally. sensibly. truthfully. pure ly. Keep from slang" don't put on airs. say what you mean and mean what you say. and don't use big words.
