Equal to the Occasion.

The author of ACROSS England Iii a
Dogcart' once stopped to examine d
church in the little village Of Enstone.
The day was warm, and on leaving
the church rested for awhile in the
grateful shade of the building and for
the sake of the GOODNESS still kept my
hat in my hand While standing there
| overheard one workman ask of an
other:
why do e keep is at off like that
out of doors. mate?
"'Cause 'e's i Quaker o. course" re-
piled the mate. "Quakers allus do in
churchyards."
Here was an opportunity not to be
lost. NO" said l, Il am not a Quak-
er. am an Episcopalian."
There was a short, awkward pause.
Then the first workman, evidently Of
an inquiring turn of mind, said to his
fellow mason, who seemed to be con-
sidered an authority:
"A E-piscOpale one, e says e is.
WOt's that, BiIl?"
oh" replied the learned Bill, quite
equal to the occasion, that's one of
them fancy foreign religions, sure!"

lOnia" mentioned by Fitzstel hen
gOurmets in the time Of King Jchu
used to regale themselves On herous
cranes. crows, storks cOrmorants and
bitterns. Some would wash their
meals down with wine. but the ma
jOrity drank mead or metheglin. Mead
according to HOlinshed. was only the
washing of the combs after the honey
had been taken from them and so poor
a beverage that it had to be spiced
peppered or made palatable with
sweetbrier or thyme But metheglin
contained one hundredweight of honey
to twenty-fOur gallons of water and
must have been much more intoxicat-
ing than the strongest old ale of the
present day.-LOndon Chronicle.

No Morals IN DreamIand.

If. as many writers have suggested,
it is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery of dreams, how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos %
ideas and feelings there Is so little dis
tinctiOn between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears Of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
AS Professor Hoffman has said, The
familiar check of waking hours, 4
must not do it because it would be un-
just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest us in the satisfaction Of any
within which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is a world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that. though it may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams. the dreams them
selves are never burdened with a con
science.-Bohemian Magazine.

Did you ever take nine swallows OF

Well. science has been studying hic-
