Charles T. 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.—

The girl of the me de and the mo

necktie, and a new neck le too; and
the question is asked how does she
arrange the new t’e? W b, she ties

coming the smart girl dresses her
nair low on her neck these days, ami
sometimes she wears it arranged in
this fashion, whether it is becoming
or not. Veils and the smart girl are
just about inseparable, and the very
newest way of wearing the veil is cer
tainly original enough to attract at
tention. The veil not only covers the
face, but is draped in folds about the
close fitting hat. At the back it is
fastened will a buckle or two large
pins.

RmiKli on Theodore Hook.
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.”

I.et any man be of good cheer about
his soul who has ruled his IxVly and
delighted in knowledge in this life:
who has adorned the soul in her own
proper Jewels, which are temperance.
Justice, courage, nobility and truth. In
these arrayed the soul is ready for the
journey even to another world when
the time eon us. For. if death lie the
journey to another place, and there ali
the dead are, w hat good ean lie great
er than this? Be of good cheer about
death and know this of a truth—that no
evil ean happen to a good man either
in life or after death. God orders and
hold.-, together the whole universe in
which are all tilings beautiful and
go d. lie keeps it always unimpaired,
uneotifused. umleeaying. obeying his
law swifter than thought and in per
fect order.—Socrates.

RximminIve Coronation*;
It may lie of interest to point out at
this time that the most expensive cor
omit ion on i •eor ! was tha. of tke pres
ent czar of Russia. 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. To prove it
we ate going to use this
space for our ov/n pur
poses. We have advertis
ing space to sell, and we
know it wi.l pay a good
return upon the price we
charge for it if it is prop
er ly used. Our paper gees
into the best homes in this
community. It has been
going week after week and
year after year until each
issue is welcomed as an old
friend of the family.
The news it brine’s is
news of neighbors, of per
sonal affairs in which all
have more or less of a com
mon interest. If one of our
readers called upon you, a
merchant, you would do
the best you could to con
vince him that what you
had for sale was the best
he could buy. You would
show him the new things
you had got in recently.
You would tell him why
he should have them a. d
why they were better than
he could procure elsewhere.
You probably would make
a sale.
Your effort, however, would be con
fined to one person.
You could tell the same
story just as ei.cctively to
every reader of this paper
in each issue.
You do not believe it
would have the same ef
fect?
If you told the story
in the san;e way it would.
We are ready
to do our part to prove it. Do you
care to try it?
