BISHOPS VISION VET TO COME.
Stumbling Block in the Way Of Con-
tempiated Marriage.

The late Bishop Williams of the
Episcopal diocese OF Connecticut was
justly celebrated as a wit. The fol-
lowing story was told by young
clergyman of Connecticut who was a
friend OF the bishop.
Bishop Williams was a confirmed
bachelor and had a deep-rooted an
tipathy for becoming entangled In
Cupid's net. One afternoon he was
visited by rather ELUSIVE maiden
lady of his acquaintance, who was also
his ardent admirer.
We'll. bishop" she remarked, after
some unimportant preliminary Skin
mishirg. II have had vision from
the | ord that you and are to be mar.
ried."
The bishop looked at her, overcome
with CONSERVATION and amazement at
her presumtion. But only for short
time was he at loss; then, his wit
coming TO thu rescue. he replied
wait a moment, M dana, ] haVent

DANCING Is Old as the Race.

Dancing is as old as the human
race. The little child dances by in
stinct, as a kitten rolls and jumps
about in play. The Spartans had a
law obliging parents to exercise their
children in dancing from the age of
Ave. The Greeks made the art of
dancing into a system expressive OF
sentiments. and the most eminent
Greek sculptures studied the attitudes
Of the public dancers as aids TO their
work. Aristotle places dancing on the
same plane as poetry, and says in his
Poetics that there are dancers, who,
by rhythm applied to gesture, express
thought, manners, action and life

Lord Lansdowne has a real help

Her information was not merely gain

native, she used To visit the poorest
quarters OF Calcutta She often ran
considerable risks. but she has plenty
of courage. and the information she
gained was something valuable. For
instance she was once able 10 save an
innocent man from being hanged for
murder. The judge who was trying
the case was dining at the yiceregal
lodge. During tire evening Lady Lans-
downe took him aside and said. "The

Lady Lansdowne the real culprit was

her very popular with the natives of
Calcutta.
