was dying at Chelsea he sent in de.
spair for a Ramsgate doctor who haG
done him some good during his recent
stay at that place and who, he hoped,
might take different view of his case
from that which the London physicians
had expressed. The doctor arrived and
confirmed the opinion that the artist
had very little time longer to live.

tor. You have had nothing to eat and

Of no consequence" "But it ISL re-

you will find some refreshment, and
there is some fine brown sherry-don
spare it-and then come up and see me
again" The doctor refreshed himself
and then came back to the patient.
Now, them" said Turner, "what is it?
Do you still think SO badly Of my
icase? The doctor regretfully said he
could not alter his former opinion. The
artist shock his shoulders, turned his
face to the wall and never spoke again!

a Bishop IN i.naer.

A Bishop in anger.
1t is popularity supposed that bishops
possess the power of self control in a
perfect degree, but, sometimes the best
Of them disclose the fact that. after all,
they are but men.
On one occasion certain lord bish-
OPP, eloquent and sanity, whose name
lis almost a household word in Eng
land. was preaching at the opening of
a new church and for few days
stayed at a country house In the neigh.
borhood. This bishop was excessively
fond OF game Of billiards and could
hold his own on the cloth against the
majority of amateurs.
{s During this visit his lordship played
several quiet games with his host, but
one morning had a prolonged run OF
bad luck, which SO exasperated him
that at last he entirely lost his temper
and in his rage snapped the cue in two
across his knee.
This mad action seemed to bring the
bishop to his senses, and with profuse
regrets he apologized to his host for
his conduct, declaring that he would
not have had it happen for the world.
But the host coolly replied:
II must beg you. my lord, to think
no more about the matter am really
glad that it occurred, as for many
years ] have been wishful to see what
a bishop was like when he wanted to
use bad Language ."'--London Tit Bits.

How Wyckoff Was Revealed.

Il HOW VVyckoH Mas Revealed.
The late Professor Walter "A. Wyck-
off Of Princeton had passion for
knowledge at first hand and will be
best remembered as the college pro-
fessor who studied labor conditions by
becoming himself a laborer. Starting
in 1891 in Connecticut with no money
and with suit Of overalls, he worked
his way through nearly every state III
the Union after the fashion Of the
floating laborers of this. country. so
many of whom ultimately become
tramps. Wherever there was posi-
bility Of work he applied for 1t, wheth-
er it Were digging bitches, Wrecking
houses or factory work. For awhile
his incognito usually worked well, but
as soon as his fellow Iaborers saw him
at table they at once began to suspect
him. Els manner Of eating, his way
Of holding knife and FORK, at ones set
them specializing. Once he was seen
drinking tea Mt fellow laborer's
house lin Chicago. He lifted the saucer
from the table, held it III his hand and
forgot himself so far as to drink with
out noise. Il knowed them" his host
afterward said, that he was a swell
