Not Quite Clear.

A well known clergyman Of Boston
was once talking to some friends will
reference to the desirability of chron
illogical conference in Ideas in the forlr
Of written statements. when he oh
served that there are times when this
method becomes trihe too sugges
tive.
"For instance" said the speaker. 81
once heard minister in New Hamp
shire make his usual Sunday morning
announcements as follows:
"''rhe funeral Of the lutte and much
lamented sexton takes place on Wed
neSday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Thanksgiving services will be held
in this chapel on Thursday morning al

Enforced Idleness of the Mujik.

The Russian peasant is lazy from
climatic influences. The excessive heat
in summer and the severe frosts and the
earth's heavy blanket of snow in winter
preclude vigorous excise; the abject
poverty depressing the villages also
tends to prevent any kind of exhilarat-
ing sport. AFFECT poverty keeps whole
families, whole districts, buried In dark
ness for eighteen hours out of the TWEEN
ty-four for more than quarter of the
year. Artificial light is, on account Of
the very heavy exercise duty and the
G st of distribution of paraffine, bey,nd
the reach of the poor villagers, whose
only means of lighting their sparsely
Widowed cabins is the primitive chip
light stuck in the wall. Old and young
have therefore to cease all occupation in
the winter soon after 8 o'clock. Read
ing and handiwOrk Of all kinds have to
be given up, and early bed is the only
resource. Children from school have
no means of preparing their next days
lessons, or of varying the appalling
monotony of their dull and tedious
young lives by story books or table
pamas

THEODORE HOOK.
Stories Of the Greatest Practical Joker
ef His Day.

Stories Of the 6rsatest Practical Joker
ef His Day.
OF the list Of geniuses the name of
Theodore Hook Is near the top. At
sixteen he was making big income
and enjoying great popularity. His
name was blazoned in the papers as
prodigy, his portraits were in the shop
windows, and he had free admission to
all theaters and other places OF amuse-
ment. For years he was social and
literary lion. Ills last words were:
1T is only to the grave that must be
carried. II my poor children were
safe / would not care. l am suffering
under q constant depression OF spirits
which no one who sees me In society
dreams Of"
Hooks practical jokes were the talk
of the day. His intfmates egged him
on continually, and there was nothing
he would stop at. One day they point
ed out to him as an appropriate specl-
men for his museum a gilded eagle Of
enormous dimensions which had just
been erected over grocer's shop. A
few weeks afterward while entertain
ing his coterie at dinner at one Of the
old taverns he ordered the game" to
be served. To the establishment of the
guests the waiter entered the room
staggering under the burden of dish
Of unusual size. On uncovering 1t
there was produced the Identical eagle
which Hook as q practical joke had
contrived to carry of. Merely for this
sort Of fun Hook used to pull on
knockers md bell handles, carry away
tradesmen's signs. overturn the boxes
Of sleeping janitors and do other devil
ment until lie had roomful Of house
hold attachments and street orna-
ments.
One night Hook was passing a great
house where there was reception OF
the SWEETEST Of the swells. Dinner had
just been announced. He said to the
friend accompanying him: John, I'm
going In here to spend the evening. Call
for NE mt IL o'clock" The friend was
Mortified. Said he in protest, "You do
not know these grand people. and you
are not an invited guest" THAT'S all
right. Call for me at IL" Knocking
at the door, he gave his hat confident
ly to the lackey and was ushered up
stairs. Entering the drawing room. he
affected Mt first to have discovered his
mistake and poured such sallies Of wit
that the host and hostess actually
pressed him to stay for dinner.
At II o'clock, when his friend called,
not knowing whether he would find
Hook at the reception or In the lock-
Up. he was more than astounded on
entering the drawing room to see Hook
seated at the piano delivering some ex-
tempore poetry to a bevy Of the fair
est women in the gathering. Perceiv.
ing the entrance of this friend. the
practical joker. who had not hitherto
divulged his name. arose and said:
"Tm very much pleased with your fare.
Your cellars as good as your cook:
My friends Mr.. Terry. the player.
And I'm Mr.. Theodore Hook"
The king. being present and full Of
enjoyment. took great fancy to Hook
and Immediately appointed him treas
u:er to the island Of the Mauritius
with salary Of $4,000 a year.-New

Not Enough Outdoor Sports.

There is a woeful dearth of athletic
sports in America. The man next door
would probably wrench his memory in
calling to mind more than two. And
the same man would confess that he pre-
fers to enjoy his base ball and football
vicariously. American love of the open,
in any real sense, seems to be good
deal of bluff" Ten thousand people
flock to ball game and enjoy it-as an
intellectual pastime. Most of them
would be as,onished at the idea that
they themselves should play. 1t is the
ssme in the colleges. A few play foot
ball. Still fewer play base ball. The
rest attend the games and let their
athletic overplus of energy vent itself in
