A Little Mistake. The squire's sou had just been ordained, and on the following Sunday he was to take the morning service in his native village. He was a young man, and very nervous. However, he did his best, and returned to the vestry, having accomplished the service to his own satisfaction. I think I got through the service without a mistake, John ? he remarked to the old clerk. It was first-rate, Master Dick," said the old man. I don't know as I ever heard it better done." After a pause he added: But the old parson, he never gives us the evening service in the morning!"

Where She Never Failed. While the curate was making a parochial visit, the wife invited his attention to the subject of her good man's non-attendance at public worship, suggesting that he should wait for that gentleman's return. She was so vehement in denouncing her husband's carelessness in the direction indi- cated thpt his reverence ventured to inquire how long a time had elapsed since she per- formed that duty herself. After some reluctance, coupled withnumer- ous excuses, she admitted It is off an' on about eight year, yer rivirince; but, shure, Oi niver missed yit goin' wid the Sunday- school excursion iviry year

Payment for Knowledge. ] At a large manufacturer's an enormous engine got out of order. After trying several engineers on the firm and several local men they found they could not get the engine to í working order. Some time later a clever engineer got to hear of it, and was allowed to try his skill. He examined the machine carefully for a few minutes, and presently took his pencil from his pocket, and pushed it into a small hole. This set the engine in motion. He sent in a bill amounting to £ 50, ( and when asked if he had not made a mistake, he said "No; I charged threepence for doing the work, and t49 Is. 9d. for knowing how to do it."

What the King Permits. I His Majesty's permission is needed for the band to play in his presence, for his rail- way train to start, for the Royal standard to float over any building where he is not so- journing, for a sturgeon to be retained by its z3 captor, or an address to be offered at a way- side railway station, for a Royal biography to be published, for a hospital or school to call itself Royal, or the Bible to be printed.

Cause of Certain Dreams. A psychologist was talking about dreams. "Every dream, like every laugh or tear, has its cause," he said. Every well-known type of dream has a cause equally well-known. "You dream, for instance, that you are in church, or at the theatre, or in the street, with hardly any clothes on you, and you nearly die of shame. The bed covering falling off is the cause of this dream. You dream that a dog has bitten you, or an enemy has given you a stab with a knife. Some slight pain—a cramp, a touch of rheu- matism—is behind all such dreams. Innumerable persons dream of flying. Time and time again they dream this dream. It is because the respiration of sleep, the great, deep, billowy breaths, rising and falling rhythmically, are so akin to Hying that they bring visions of it to the sleeper's mind. An uncomfortable position in the bed causes dreams of painful effort, of unen- durably hard work, like mountain climbing, or the lifting of heavy weights. I say nothing of the mental causes of droams, since we all know well enough that the things we talk or think about awake are likely to be talked and thought about that night ill sleep." iO

My Rest Cure. Doctor—" You have been overworking yourself, my dear madam all you need is rest." Patient—" But look at my tongue." Doctor (examining tongue)—"Just what I said only rest."

Dangerous Sermons. A young minister who indulged in many furious gestures in the pulpit preached in a church which was about to be closed for altera- tions. His friends were rather inclined to chaff him when a paragraph appeared in a local paper stating that The Rev Mr Thumper preached in —— Church yesterday. The church will be closed for three weeks for repairs."

Millionaire's Motto. One of the rules which Andrew Carnegie made for his own guidance upon the road to success is this Never enter a bar-room, nor let the contents of a bar-room enter you." A young man who does not understand that strnog drink is a foe to professional ad- vancement has not as yet mastered the ABC of the alphabet of success.

Rules for Life. Walk two miles every day. Sleep seven hours every night. Go to bed always alone, and as soon as you feel sleepy. Get up as soon as you awake. Work as soon as you get up. Eat only when you are hungry. Drink only when you are thirsty, and always slowly. Speak only when necessary, and say only half what you think. Write only what you can sign. Do only what you can reveal. Esteem money neither more nor less than it deserves. It is a good servant, and a bad master. For- give everyone in advance, in order to be on the safe side. Do not despise men, do not hate them, do not laugh at them pity them.

Scotch Caution. A story is told of an old Dumfriesshire farmer who was the guest of a lady in that county. When the tea was served the hostess observed that his was gone before she had poured out tea for the others. He passed his cup up freqrently, and at the ninth cup the lady, becommg uneasy as to the supply on hand, ventured to ask: How many cups of tea do you take, John '?" "How mony do ye gie '?" asked John warily. 0
