An English nobleman was once present nt a church service when n collection was announced for some ehnritable object. The plate began to go round, nn?l the duke carefully put his hand Into his pocket nnd took out a florin, which he laid on the edge of the pew desk before him ready to l>e transferred to the plate. Reside him sat a little snob, who, noticing this action, Imitated It by ostentatiously laying a sovereign alongside the ducal florin This was too much for his grace, who dipped his hand Into his pocket again and pulled out another florin, which ho laid by the side of the first. The little snob followed suit by laying another sovereign beside the first. Ills grace quickly added a third florin, which was capped by a third sovereign on the pnrt of the little snob. Out came a fourth florin to swell the duke's donation, and then the little snob triumphantly laid three sovereigns at once upon the board. The duke, not to be beaten, produced three florins. Just at that moment the plate arrived. The little snob took tip his handful of sovereigns and ostentatiously rattled them Into the plate. The duke, with a grim smile, put one florin Into the plate and quietly swept the remaining six back into his pocket.?London Glol>e. 1)1 araell and Carlyle. No Incident In Disraeli's career Is more pleasant than his offer of a pension and n G. C. B. to Carlyle. A friend of Sir William Fraser walked with Carlyle for two hours ou the day on which Disraeli's letter arrived. Carlyle described the letter being brought to him by a treasury messenger, tlio large black seal, his wonder as to what the ofllclal envelope could contain and_ his great surprise on reading the offer," conveyed In language of consummate tact and delicacy. Cnrlyle said: "The letter of DIsroell was flattering, generous and magnanimous. Ills overlooking all that I have sold and done against him was great." TTa OHHOH' *?1 - ? ** ?. tur nmimie perception of merit In others Is one of the highest characteristics of n fine Intellect. I should not have given I)lsrnoll eredlt for possessing It hod It not been brought hotne so directly to me." He repented the words "generous" and "magnanimous" several times. Disraeli's letter, by the way, though it entirely deserves the praises nt>ove quoted for Its tact and delicacy, Is by no means impeachable In grammar, for It contains within o do7.en lines two instances of the hanging "and which." If hens were progressive they would lie holding a liens' rights convention 4nd Insisting that they should be allowed to do half of the crowing. i.-. sa . ' I f ~tiii ft * ' ' Tit* Quality That Coonta. The great prizes of life do not fall to the most brilliant, to tbe cleverest, to the shrewdest, to the most long headed i or .to the best educated, but to the most j level headed men, to the men of soundj est judgment. When a man is wanted > for n responsible position his shrewdI ness is not considered so Important as i his sound judgment. Reliability Is ! what is wanted. Can a man stand ' without being tripped, and, If he Is thrown, run he land upon his feet? Can ho bo depended upon, relied upon under all circumstances, to do the right thing, the sensible thing? lias the man n level head? Has he good horse j sense? Is he liable to fly off 011 a tangent or to "go off half cooked?" Is J he "faddy?" Has he "wheels I11 bis head?" Does he lose his temper easily ' or can he control himself? If he can keep a level head under all circUin1 stances, If he canuot be thrown off his balance and Is honest, he is the man ' wanted.?Success. llnmitnH Army Odilltlcn. i Many. Indeed, arc the curious customs connected with the Russian army, says a writer in a London journal. For Instance, none but giants nro allowed In the Preobraslieiiskl bodyguard regiment. To the Ismallowsk! regiment none but fair men are admitted. while a turned up nose is the qualifying adornment of the I'awlow guards. The Guards chasseurs, on the other band, are composed exclusively of dark haired men. Then, too, tbe distinction between officers of the guards and those serving in line regiments is most marked, a guard lieutenant until recently taking precedence over a captain of the line. Furthermore the pay of Infantry officers in line regiments is ludicrously small. What the Infantry private's lot is can, better be imagined than described. Tap nntl Feather* In 11RO, In England the penalty of tar and feathers M*ns Introduced In 1180, when Richard I., befar* netting out for the Holy Land, ordained, In order to preserve the discipline of his fleet, that whosoever should he convicted of theft should first have his head shaved; that boiling pitch should then be poured upon It, and a cushion of feathers (do la plume d'orelller) shaken over It. He was afterward to be put 011 shore at the first place tbe ship touched at, though, nfter a baptism of boiling pitch, the poor wretch would have lit ne me ten Jn mm. in modern times the practice has found favor with the populace as a means of readily executing Justice on nn offender whom the law perhaps shows no auxlety to reach.?IiOudon Mall. Hard to Pirate. "The only perfectly beautiful woman," said a well known sculptor, "must have been n goddess. I never saw a perfectly beautiful woman in my life, nor even heard of the existence of one. As for Cleopatra, a learned Englishman has discovered In some ancient gossip written on papyrus thnt *Ue had the foxy red hair and the fredtuai skin of all the Ptoleiny family and wn9 obliged to resort to lialr dyes and cosmetics to keep up her reputation for looks. But perhaps the severest shock to the feelings Is to learn that Mary, queen of Scots, actually squinted, and that Mme. I)u Barry wore a set of false teeth." The Ihrcwmoai*. The smallest mammal In the British isle Is the shrewmouse. This is not only the smallest British mammal, but, with the exception of one other of the same genus, the smnllest in Europe.

Deficient Ideas of Korea. According to the Korean idiom, it la dishonoring to use "thou" or "he" of Cod. In speech Korean Christians are often heard to use "Ken yang ban" (that gentleman) In order to avoid the objectionable terms. Instead of saying "He (God) saj's" they say "That gentlemnn says." Then the Korean language does not possess the article and has not idiom to represent terms like "faith," "love," "grace," holiness," "justification," "truth" and "eternal life."?St James' Gazette. Coartealee of the Street. A hansom cab driver had just picked up a fare and was driving furiously | along a crowded street when the wheel i of bis cab Jnst managed to grazo a horse which a very thin youth was driving.
