Dr. HaIa,a nax.

DR.. Hale snd the late Bishop Hunt
ington Of New York were fast friends.
The latter had been a Unitarian, and
his shift caused a sensation, says the
Christian Register. The Episcopalians
have saints assigned to the various
days In the year. When an Episco-
palian minister writes letter on any
day for which there is saint be al
ways writes the name OF the saint at
the close of the letter instead Of the
date. Bishop Huntington learned all
these things quickly and began to prac-
tee them al once. The first time he
had occasion to write to his old friend
Dr. Hale after joining the church be
placed "St. Michael's day" after his
signature. A reply from the doctor
came. and after his name be had writ

An Incident In O Broadway Lunch
 Room lu New York. .
 A. business man who in bis univer- sity days had been a devoted student of ethics sat down In a lower Broad way lunch room a few days ago and saw something that awakened a par ticular train of thought in channels unused since his student days.
 Directly opposite him two men were finishing their midday meal. One, a sprucely dressed chap, slipped bis last drop of cof'ee, placed o dime on the table In front of bis empty cup and walked out. The other, equally we'll dressed. took little longer time over his coffee before preparing to SO. Then Just as be was about to rise be furtiyely passed his hand over to tbO dime in front of bis former neighborg plate and moved it to a position in front of hls own. He then walked hastily out. The waiter a moment later picked up the dime, noting be- fore whose plate 1t was, and cleaned away the dishes. mumbllng the while.
 Now the former college man is won derlng whether this Is not a case where he can aptly apply those words of Shakespeare, "Who steals my purse steals trash, but he that flches from me my good name robg me of that which not enrlches him and makes me poor indeed"-New York Tribune.

aNini Priun.n

People often ask the meaning of the legal expression "nisi prlus." Literally interpreted, 1t means unless before,"' a name given to the sittings of a court for the trial of civil causes. Judges on circuit, besides trying prisoners, have the power to give decisions in causes of complaints between private parties aud when so acting are called judges of "nlsl prlus" Formerly, when the circuits were less frequent the sheriff was commanded "by Wrlt' to bring the jury and witnesses from the county where the action arose to Westminster, Gloucester or Winchester on certain day, but when the ossiEes became frequent a "nlsl prius" clause was inserted in the writ containing these words: Unless before that day our justices shall come to your county and take the assIzes there" AS it hRD. pened that the assizes always did tako place before the date named in tho writ, the clause was practically useless. and now remains only as Q. n0me for those civil causes to which untll re, gently 1t referred.-D Dundee Advertiser
