A Bisl1cp In Amer.

It Is pspuiariy 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-
op, eloquent and sanity. whose name
is almost a household word in Eng
land, was preaching at the opening of
a new church and for a few days
stayed at 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.
During this visit Lis 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 1t happen for the world.
But the host coolly replied:
81 must beg you. my lord, to think
no more about the matter. | am really
glad that 1t occurred. as for many
years l have been wishful to see what
a bishop was like when he wanted to
use bad language. Tit-Bits.

CLOSING His Mouth.

A very sensible bit Of advice ex-
pressed in homely language was given
by man not long ago to an excitabie
and quarrelsome friend. 1t was in a
brickyard. and two Of the workmen
had engaged in an angry dispute
which eliminated in a fierce encoun-
ter. In the skirmish one of the com
batants was hastily hurt on the head.
and the employer. who happened to
come on the scene Of action when the
fight was finishing and was a man of
more temper than discretion, advised
the injured one to get a warrant for
the others arrest. While the matter
was being discussed by a number of
workmen who had gathered round a
big. burly fellow who had heard ey-
erything and seen the whole affair
made his way to the man with the
damaged Uranium and said:
You don't want to get no warrant.
Bill. You just go to the chemists shop
and get yerseif two pieces Of plarster-
good big ones-and put one piece on
yer head an the other on yer mouth,
an you'll be all .right"'-London Mai.

SWORN I~ss, covered with severe GUS

Now consider Mrs. Spruit's report to
the Psychical Research society, which
Is most remarkable.
Last Thursday week." she writes,
Eat o'clock In the morning my thir.
teen-year-old daughter Lily came into
my bedroom and woke me by a tap on
my forehead. oh, mamma she cried
in q breathless whisper, I'm so fright
ened! / tried to soothe her. but she
only covered her face with her hands
and whispered tremblingly: oh, look!
My papa's ship is all wrecked! Papa's
come home all in rags, with his feet
and legs cut, and see two or three of
his men drowned out Of the boat
Il told Lily sternly it was all non.
sense.
at isn'tv she said passionately
I've seen it in my dream, and l know
it's all truep
But I coaxed her OF to bed. The
girl kept worrying about it until the
next Sunday. A week after her dream
my husband returned. and Lily found
me crying when she came in from
school.
"'Oh, mamma she cried sharply. is
the Atacama wreckedT
II told her evasively her papa had
come home.
"She was not to be denied. however
and asked. with strange persistence
Are papa's legs cutT
Il said they were.
"And the very first thing she said to
her father was: why. you didn't have
those clothes on when saw you! The
ones you had on were all torn in the
shipwreck.'
Lily Spruit herself furnished a re
port to the Psychical Research society
She said she woke in terrible fright
having seen every microscopic detail OF
the shipwreck and its sequel. She saw
her father get into the big boat and
keep close to his ship for some time
She watched his boat capsize and the
boy Allen drown. What woke her, she
said, was the bowling Of the wind
about the wreck. and the last she saw
was the other men pulling her father
back into the waterlogged boat.-Wn

Scales In the Mint,

Passing through the mint. attention
was directed to large pair of scales
which were said to be as fine as any
thing In the country. They recalled
the grand balance scale used In the
Bank Of England. and on inquiry the
mint scales proved to be worthy
specimen OF the same class. The Old
Lady Of Threadneedle Street uses a
piece Of mechanism that stands about
seven feet high and weighs in the
neighborhood of two tons. This scale
is set every day, just as the one at the
mint is. and is so delicately adjusted
that 1t will correctly weigh a grain of
dust or 400 pounds of gold.
A postage stamp would affect the in
dex six inches. If any weight beyond
its capacity Is placed on the machine
1t makes its protest by ringing an cleo
trio bell and keeping 1t up until its load

record. Sheppard, of the same club
won the fifteen hundred meter race.
London, July 1.-THE conditions
yesterday werc distinctly bad for the
opening of the fourth International
Olympiad, as the track was heavy and
soft from the hard rain which fell in
the morning. 1t has rained some every
day for a week, and as no sun came
out to dry the track, the Americans
here think the sun never shines in
London.
Despite the adverse conditions, sew
eral splendid races resulted from the
preliminary heats Of the 1900 meters
run, which gave England five men for
the final, with America two and Can
ada one.
The first two heats were won by
Americans in good time. J. P. Sulli-
van of the Irish-Americsn Athletic
club of New York beat Jimmy Light
body of the University of Chicago in a
stirring finish. The latter threw his
knee out of place Saturday and was
under hot water treatment the whole
Of Sunday to enable him to take part
in the event.
Melvin Sheppard, also of the Irish
American Athletic club, defeated J. P.
Halstead of the New York Athletic
club in the second heat in fine close
finish, but probably spoiled his chance
for today, as the race exhausted the
winner 1t was an unfortunate draw
for America, but good judgment
should have suggested the selection
of only one representative in the Sec
ond heat, which would have made the
heat easy and left our defenders both
in good condition for the final tomor-
row.
The Oxford miller, Hallows, ran i'm
pressively in the best time made and
finished strong and fresh.
Spider" Coe of the University Of
Michigan made a splendid fight in the
fourth heat in which the pace was too
slow for him, and he was nosed out
by the Englishman, Loney, in fast
finish.
Trainer Murphy held a tryout Sat-
urday afternoon to select men for the
three mile team race to be run today.
II. w. Cohn of the Irish-American
Athletic club won, with G. A. Dull if
the University of Michigan second and
II. L. Trube of the New York Athletic
clug third. The time was 14:55.
There is only fair chance of our
winning the team race again. and the
hammer throw is our only sure win
for today. 1t would shock the English
athletic world like failure of the
Bank Of England would cause a
panic In the financial world If America
should win either of the runs today.
