Copelam], instnictor in Eiiftlisli at Harvard, is known to every Harvard m.ni of the last few student generations and to a good many atuii- enees around Boston. His chief spe cialty is reading the works of Kipling and the eighteenth century authors aloud and eoinmenting on them in his own peculiar fashion. One of Ids chief eccentricities is an enormous sponge, which always hangs outside from his window in Stoughton. But this story deals neither with Kipling nor the sponge. It is of Mr. Copeland’s first adventure with a woman's club. Shine time ago he published an essay on Robert Louis Stevenson, which was widely read. As a result the president of the Woman’s club in Somerville, the next city to Cambridge, wrote him a letter inviting him to lecture to the club on Stevenson. Ho sent no reply. The president wrote again. He replied to the second letter. It was not Ids custom, he said, to lecture before wo men’s clubs, but if the Somerville or ganization would pay him his full price. ShT). lie would come. The president was equal to the occa sion. She replied very sweetly, setting the date for the lecture. “We shall be very happy to pay you your full price, she wrote. “We have always been in the habit of paying cur lec turers S.'O.” - Mr. Copeland arrived an hour late.— New York Tribune.

The humor of Theodore Hook was the subject the other day of a more or loss approving article in The Academy of London. This did not please Mr. G. S. Street, who. in a lively letter to the offender, says: “I believe the truth to lie that mere ly mechanical and brainless humor like that of Theodore Hook can never out- : live the generation it first amused. , The great humorists, of course, were men who couid think and feel. Rabe lais was a philosopher, a man with scorns and ideals: Sterne had the ten- dercst feeling for what was kindly and simple in men and women. Not to linger among the giants, even second rate hut true humor Inis some mean ing and point to it, or. if it bo mere high spirits, one can test its author, as a rule, on another side. Theodore Hook lias left us this test, unluckily for him. Have you ever read one of his serious novels? 1 remember—but vaguely. I thank Apollo—a novel of his culled The Parson’s Da lighter,’a ml am free to assert that it is almost the silliest tale told by au idiot I ever read.” flood Flierr About Heath.

Coward of .Sl.V (MlO.emO was spent by the government alone and fully another !?.”>.(KKMUit) by the public auih duties of various Rus sian towns. The representatives of other powers vied with each other in lavish outlays, and. counting the sums spent by other persons, the coronation ot Nicholas II. cannot have cost much It ss than .><“7,.000.1:00. Tltt* coronation of <’zar Nicholas 1. was ills.) a very expensive affair. The then Duke of De- onshire was the Brit ish representative, and he spent fully $ ITitUK.to of Ids own money in eounee- tion with it. The coronation of George IN', was the most expensive In English annals, and this cost only $12.."00.000. Of this amount SLI.'.ooo was expended on the coronation robe and $227>.OU0 on the crown. The cost of the coronation of George HI. did not amount to half that of the coronation of George IV. The whole cost of the coronation of Wiiljnm IV. amounted to only $150,000 and that of Queen Victoria to $350,000. A GracloiiN Queen. Queen Margherita of Italy did a great many kind deeds in aid of men of let ters and artists, which are gradually coming to light. Site disclosed the mu sical gifts of Puccini and sent him to Milan to study at her expense. She never missed a chance to make the ac quaintance of eminent foreigners. A funny story is told of her first meeting with Gregorovtus. She invited him to dance In a quadrille with her. but the poor scholar could no more dance than fly and had to excuse himself, where upon the queen remarked. “Very well: since you don’t dance I will give up the quadrille, aud we will have a chat to gether.” A Historic Church. The officers of old St. John’s church, on Church hill. Richmond, contradict with much warmth a published story to the effect that the venerable struc ture is to lie sold to make way for a block of commercial buildings. The senior warden. Captain Cyrus Bos- sieux, says that the church does not owe a cent to any one. It was in this church that Patrick Henry made his celebrated “Give me liberty or give me deaili” speech in 1775, and it is the de light of al) visitors to Richmond to stand in the pew in which he uttered the memorable words. „ We believe thoroughly in advertising.
