Surf Bathing Abroad.

Unlike Americans. Englishmen pre-
fer to have their surf bath before
breakfast. They slip out of their
rooms and into the surf as sort Of
duty and prefer a buff bath, or one
without the incumbrance Of a bathing
suit, If they can be permitted to enjoy
1t. With them the bath, even in the
breakers. is more Of a duty than a pas
time, as it is with the French and
Americans. Neither do the people of
continental Europe enjoy the pleasures
Of the surf with the same avidity as
marks the summer day along the
American coast. There Is more or less
of custom OF fashion to dictate to the
temporary jewellers along the seashore.

archbishop of Cashel: "Once on one of
his examinations of the children for
confirmation the archbishop put to a
little girl the question from the cate
chism, What is the preparation for
matrimony? The little one blushed
and glggled and put the corner of her
bib in her mouth by way of answer.
The question was repeated. oh, sure,
