Sully's CourtshiD.

While on a secret mission to Paris
In 1888 Rosny had fallen in love with
die daughter Of the president, st. Mes.
min. The young lady was handsome
and kind, but while paying her his adj
dresses he heard of a Mile. de Courte-
nay, who was reported to be beautiful,
well born and wealthy besides. Pru-
dence suggested that he should make
her the Baroness de Rosny, but he was
already half. committed to the other.
While he was bordering the subject
he arrived one day at an inn in Nogent
and found, to his dismay, that by an
unlucky chance both ladies were lodged
In it, Mile. de st. Mesmin in the left
wing and Mile. de Courtenay in. the
right. Both were ready to marry him,
and he was ready to marry one Of
them, but could not decide which. 1t
was a very awkward position for the
wavering lover, and at first he thought
Of saving himself by instant fight.
While he hesitated Mile. de st. Mes
MINIS younger sister saw him and ex-
pressed her surprise that he had been
half an hour in the house without Wis.,
1ting them. The decisive moment had
evidently come. Turn to the right"
whispered the fr:ehnd who was with
him. He did so. AID Anne de Courte-
nay became his wifs.-H. G. Mcdowell

A Versatile Parish Clerk.

The ancient parish clerk in England
bad many functions. Letters were not
80 common in those days as today, and
the clerk was the learned man of the
community. One Of his functions was
writing epitaphs, but this was not the
sum Of his accomplishments, as may
be cen from the advertisement Of John
Hopkins, clerk Of Salisbury in the
eighteenth century: "
John Hopkins, parish clerk and under
taker, sells epitaphs of all sorts and
prices. Slaves neat and plays the bas-
soon. Teeth drawn, and the Salisbury
Journal read gratis every Sunday morn
ing at 8. A school for psalmody every
Thursday evening. when my son, born
blind. will play on hi fiddle. Specimen
epitaph on my wife:
My wife ten years not much to my ease,
But now she is dead in caelo quies.
Great variety to be seen within. Your
humble servant, JOHN HOPKINS.

He stopped the Couehins.

One Sunday morning a clergyman
was greatly annoyed by the unusual
amount Of coughing among his congre-
cation. He had not a strong voice and
could only be distinctly heard when the
people were still and attentive. AS the
coughing went on, and even grew
worse, he suddenly stopped right in the
middle of the sermon. All eyes were
instantly turned to the pulpit, every
cough was hushed and there was per-
feet silence.

Z smile, ut seems you stop when l
STOP"
This gentle rebuke had the desired
effect. The people found that their
coughing could be kept down when
they liked to a great extent, and the
minister proceeded with his sermon
under far more favorable conditions.

-
How They May Be successfully culti-
waited In Tubs.
+, The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts Of nymphaea, but he al
succeed with many beautiful varieties
Of water lily and other plants Of that
class. A half barrel is not very at
tractive in itself, but its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or it
may be sunk it's depth in the earth.
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about it's lack Of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth Of a foot;
then plant your roots in it and fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub q
sunny place in the yard or garden. If
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, it is a good
plan to take four, five, six, or as many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out, is
to have q tank constructed Of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.
