II Happened in Church.

Southern clergyman tells the fol-
lowing amusing story:
After the morning sermon one Sun
day he had read the notices for the
week, and then announced the clos
ing hymn-Number so-and-so. At
that moment one of the deacons came
down the aisle, and the minister
paused to hear what he had to say,
which was that the pastor had forgot
ten to give notice of meeting OF the
ladies of the congregation.
Accordingly the divine gave the no.
tice, apologizing to the congregation
for his forgetfulness, and then again
announced the number of the hymn,
and proceeded to read it. His feelings
and those of the congregation may be
imagine when he began:
Lord, what thoughtless wretch
was Ii"-Lippincott's

A Pleasant Prospect.

A Philadelphia woman, whose given
name is Mary, as is also the name OF
her daughter, had recently engaged q
domestic, when. to her embarrassment,
she discovered that the servants name
too, was Mary.
Whereupon there ensued struggle
to induce the applicant to relinquish
her i6ea that she must be addressed
by her Christian name. For some time
she was rigidly uncompromising
Under the circumstances" said the
lady of the house, there is nothing to
do but to follow the English custom
and call you by your last name. BY
the way, what is it?"

DroIl Definitions.

Many children are so crammed with
knowledge that they frequently get it
inextricably mixed.
In proof of this, read these veritable
specimens of definitions, written by
public-school children:
Stability is taking care of a stable.
A mosquito is the child of black and
white parents.
Monastery is the place for monsters.
Cannibal is two brothers who kill
each other in the Bible.
Anatomy is the human body, which
consists of three parts: the head, the
chest, and the stummick. The head
contains the eyes and brains, if any.
The chest contains the lungs and a
piece of the liver. The stummick is de-
voted to the bowels, of which there are
five, a, e, l, o, u, and sometimes and
y.-New York Weekly.

Oil Case Goes Back to Landls.

Washington.-The s29.OO0,O00 fine
case of the Standard Oil Company will
not be reviewed by the Supreme Court
of the United States. The decision Of
the court to this effect was announced
by Chief Justice Fuller soon after the

ord in the case for a review of the de-
cision of the United States Circuit

cult by which Judge lands original
decision imposing a fine OF $4,000, 900
against the Standard Oil Company for
accepting rebates from the railway
companies was reversed.

Teachers Qualifications.

One morning, a few weeks ago, as a
South Jersey country physician was
driving through a village, he saw a
man, slightly under the influence of
liquor, amusing a crowd OF spectators
with the antics of his trick dog. The
doctor pulled up and watched the fun
while and then said:
my dear man. how do you manage
to train your dog that way? l can't
teach mine single trick"
The man addressed looked up, and
with that simple rustic look replied
We'll, you see. it's this way: You
have to know moren the dog or you
can't learn him nothin'. ."-Philadelphia
