FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT.
Elder Evidently Meant There Should
Be No misunderstanding.

Last summer the congregation of a
little kirk in the Highlands of Scotland
was greatly disturbed and mystified by
the appearance in it's midst of an Eng
fish lady who made use of an ear trum.
pet during the sermor--such an in
strument being entirely unknown In
those simple parts.
There was much discussion of the
matter, and it was finally decided that
one of the elders-who had great 10.
cal reputation as a ,uan of parts
should be deputed to settle the ques.
tiCn.
On the next Sabbath the uncon.
scious offender again made her ap
pearance and again produced the trum.
pet, whereupon the chosen elder rose
from his seat and marched down the
aisle to where the old lady sat. and,
entreating her with an appraised finger,
said, sternly:
THE first toot-ye're oot!'-Har-
per's.

LoNDoN's WEALTH AND POVERTY
Sad Extremes That Prevail in the
Worlds Richest City.


The London county council, accord
ing to yearly custom, has just pub
lished some suggestive statistics. In
them the British capital is put down
as probably the wealthiest city in the
world. It's property is insured against
fire for about six billions of dollars.
1t takes about 419,037 tons of killed
meat and 5S,735 live cattle .375,950
sheep. 174,332 tons of fish and $685.
$50 gallons of milk to feed the popula
ton, which uses s2,152, 249, 900 gallons
of water for drinking and other pur-
poses.
But besides being the wealthiest,"
London is also, to use word made
famous by Bernard Shaw, the ell
thiest." OF the 4,795,7S9 human be-
ings that live on its 1856 acres Of
land and water, 1,453, 266, or one in
every 33. are paupers. But more ap-
palling still is the fact that 20 per-
sons in every 100 die in an almshouse
or almshouse infirmary. No wonder
the city is obliged to distribute
through its charities more than $780,
100000 annually.
