Persisted In Sleeping During
Service, Had . Bright Idea.

The minister Of l. - Is n OF
those quietly humorous characters Of
whom there are many In the church.
He has n deal to contend with In
his preaching, and the chief matter he
has to combat Is sleep.
Many OF his hearers begin to doze
the minute he starrs preaching. The
minister arranged with the verger that
In future he should endeavor to wax
en- sleepers from the pulpit.
He managed this successfully for
some time, but n Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman, a ~well.known
%innkeeper In the parish. At length,
just as he was about to yield, n bright
idea struck him.
"Tll waken her this time" he ex-
claimed.
Striking the side OF the pulpit firm
ly with his clenched fist. he called out,
"Anlther pint here, JANET whereupon
the good old lnnkeeper started up and
replied, Coming, sir; coming!"

What Responsibility Does.

The saying runs that rs soon as a
lieutenant IL made a commander he be-
gins to carry a stick, and as soon as q
commander becomes a captain he
"turns religious" For Justification OF
the latter part Of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things Of life. Possibly their
hours Of loneliness may conduce to this
frame OF mind, though for the most
part their leisure hours are given up to
study OF matters connected with their
calling. One ~well-known captain there
was who used to hold prayer meetings,
which any member of the ships com'
pany could attend. "Remember there
are no rates 10 be picked up here" the
captain would warn them before the
meetings started, meaning that any
one who came there hoping to curry
favor and thus get promotion would
be disappointed. And In this the cap
tain was always as good as hts word.
