A Boy on CIergymen.

Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York, read a COOpers-
town school boys essay on Clergymen.
The essay, which created much amuse-
ment, was as follows:
There are kinds Of clergymen bish-
ups rectors and curats. the bishups tell
the recters to work and the curats have
to do it. A curate is thin married

fuller and can preach longer sermons

The Woman and the Feline.

Isabel Gordon Curtis, in Success Nigga
 zine"
 A western judge-let us hope he had been singularly unfortunate in his female relatives-recently remarked that all women were cats. Women read that dis patch everywhere one morning, and for a few hours at least the ears of that judge must have burned. Still, there are women who indorsed his judgment, although they feel that he might have qualified his re- mark and said some women are cats" One can't help wondering why poor pussy, from time immemorial, should have been picked out as the prototype of a mean, treacherous, back-biting woman, for a cat which is well-fed and kindly treated is lovable animal, and. queerly enough, it is the animal on which most women lavish their love. A man who studies the traits of dumb creatures tells us, how ever, that the female cat treats the spe- cies of her own sex in a peculiarly mean and vicious manner It bites instead of backbitng and, at the first throb of jeal- ousy, will scratch like good fellow. If that is so, we have to confess that there are cat-like women everywhere, in the lowest rank of life and in the highest, for we have had cat-like queens; clever old Queen Bess had many pussy-cat trait.

KINGSTON PUBLIC
 SCHOOL IS BURNED

The Kingston public school building caught fire and was burned completely Wednesday afternoon. Although the alarm was turned in to the Woodlawn fire department only short time after the fire started, owing to the distance or the school building from the station the blaze had gained considerable headway when the department reached the scene and it was impossible to control the con dagration.
 It is understood that the carelessness or rather the thoughtlessness of one or the school children is responsible for the burning of the building. It is stated that the rooms and railways were all finished with wanscoating, and that one of the children struck "a match and thoughtless- lv dropped it through a knothole in the Wainscoating. It is supposed that the lighted match ignited some trash between the walls and in this manner started the disastrous fire.
 The building was so completely de- stroyed that it was rendered useless and will have to be rebuilt.

M'KEES ARE DIVORCED.
Partisan Court Expert Holds Both To
 Blame.

Paris, May 1.-The legal expert of the court presented his conclusion in the Me trollable temper, who had always been in- in favor of granting divorce, holding both MT and Mrs. Mckee responsible. Formal judgment will be rendered May A. The suit was brought in this city by Mrs. A. Hart Mckee, formerly Mrs. Hugh Tevis. The first hearing took place in March.
 In presenting his conclusions the legal expert related the history of the Me Kee marriage, described by MT Mckee and his wife as spoiled children of for tune who had fallen desperately in love with each other. Marriage the day after his divorce was atonement for what ever had occurred before marriage. He said Mir Mckee was man of uncon- terested in occultism and magic, that he ested in occultism and magic, that he had been guilty of great brutality toward his wife and that the repeated scenes of violence had seriously affected her health.

RUSSIANS FOND OF LIGHT.
Candles and Electric Lamps Make
 Dwellings as Bright as Day.

From "The "Reminiscences of Lady Ran
 dolph Churchill'' in the May Century.
 All the entertainments and functions to which we went, whether private or public. were extremely well done. Rus sians dearly love light, and on these occasions made their houses as bright as day with a profusion of candles . s well as electric light. Masses of flow CTS. notwithstanding their rarity in such a rigorous climate, decorated every available place, and the stair cases were lined with footmen in gorgeous liveries. Although may af the houses were very smartly furnished with all that money could buy and modern art suggests, they struck me as lacking in the real refinement and true artistic taste that one sees in Paris; but the French are born connoisseurs, and think of little else than artistic comfort.
 In those days the average Russian drawing room was superior to the or dinary English one. If there was a lack of imagination, there was also an absence of tawdriness, which con- trasted favorably with the overcrowded London room, where at that time, the esthetic and Japanese craze reigned supreme-where evenly balanced struc- lures of paper fans. liberty silks and photographs were thought decorative, not to speak of labyrinths of tiny ta- bles, chairs and screens. l was pre- pared to suffer a great deal from the cold, but found, as in most northern countries, that the houses were heated to suffocation, and the windows were rarely opened, a small ventilator being tn ought quite sufficient. Russians as- sert that all foreigners bring so much caloric with them that they do not feel the cold at first. This may be so, put tn ere is no doubt that they feel the want of air and the stiffness of the rooms, which dries up the skin and takes away the appetite.
