Parliamentary. “This is all so sudden, Mr. Samp #on,” she said, with maidenly re- serve, “and so unexpected, that al- though I confess I am not entirely indifferent to you, I hardly know what to say in reply to——" “If you are in favor of the proposi tion,” suggested Mr. Sampson, who, like Dick Swiveller, is a perpetual grand master, “you will please sig. mify your assent by saying ‘Aye.” “Aye,” came softly. “Contrary?” “No!” thundered the old man, open- ing the door. “The noes have it by a large ma Jority,” sald Mr. Sampson, reaching 'hastily for his hat. Some Uses for Hate. Hate is only a passing emotion— something upon which little people cut eye teeth. We get a certain amount of diversion out of it and some salutary lessons. It is probably & friend in disguise and keeps us from wasting time and from spending forces where they are not needed. And when hate is dead what a com- fortable feeling comes in its place.

HAD NO TIME FOR SLUMMING After Answering Impertinent and Su. percilious Questions Hostess Hands London Lady a Jolt. The Rev. Sylvester Horne, the noted liberal clergyman and member of par llament of London, was talking at a dinner about charity. “The trouble with most charity,” he said, “Is that it is administered in a grudging, condescending spirit. Char- Ity, to have any effect, must be ad- ministered in a spirit of absolute sym- pathy—a spirit, I may also say, of ab- solute humility, ‘To uplift, get under- peath,’ as the philosophic Ade well said. “There was once a London lady, the wife of a millionaire promoter, who decided, being rather bored, to go in for charity. So she rang for her elec- tric brougham and glided in a luxur- lous silence down to the New Cut. “The lady selected the very worst house in the New Cut, and she paid a call of about half an hour on the poor, lired, underfed woman who lved there. The questions she asked this woman were supercilious and imperti- pent. The lady had a very good time. “But when she came to g0, her hos- less, whose cheeks were, now un- wontedly red, rather spoiled her good lime by saying quietly: _ 7 = “Well, good-bye, madam. I don't puppose I'll see you again. The fact |s, I haverPt time to go slumming my- self.’ "—Washington Star. Promoters of Spirituality. The old adage in regard to the way to a man’s heart is regarded by some persons as a libel on masculine hu manity, but Deacon Sampson of Cran ston evidently did not regard it in that light. He went much farther than th¢ adage, and was willing to express his opinion at any time when it seemed best. When the members of the Central church were discussing the best way to interest the young people of the town and bring them into touch with church affairs, Deacon Sampson spoke his word. “I belleve in meetings,” he said firmly; “nobody believes in ’em more and nobody attends ’em imore than ; do, but along with the meetings 1 don’t know of anything that promotes spiritual growth more’'n strawberry goclals and oyster suppers, each ac cording to its season.”—Youth’s Com panion.

IN THE ADIRONDACKS 8tevenson, Whllo. Fighting Off Dis ease There, Seemed Indifferent to the Laws of Health, Robert Louis Stevenson, for 8o wise & man, seems to have been singularly unaware of, or indifferent to, the laws of health, but that, too, may have been part of his wisdom. He spent the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks struggling against the disease which was not to subdue him for seven years. He lived in a little cottage that ‘was much overheated and from which all ventilation was carefully excluded. The smoke of his incessant cigarettes obscured the atmosphere and perhaps helped to drive away the visitors whe came to gaze upon him as one gazet at a lion in a den. Fashionable call- ers were specially unwelcome and Stevenson once remarked, according| to an account in the Medical Record, that “it isn’t the great unwashed which I dread, but the great washed.” But whoever else was unwelcome there was always a greeting for Rich. ard Mansfield. It is an impressive, al most a tremendous picture, that of the clouded room fitfully lit by the flames of the log fire and Stevenson huddled close to the warmth while Mansfield at the other end of the rooom gave his weird impersonation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It must have been like 0 G0a I00KING Upon NIS NAndlWork.ang finding it good. The Tramp’s Excuse. “You seem to be an ablebodied man. Why don’t you get work instead of begging for a living?” “I.can’t find anything to do in my line.” “You can't?” ; “No. I'm a lightning calculator by profession, and the -adding machine put me out of business.” Poet Can Live on Atmosphere. Some of the dull, utilitarian minds of the world are sometimes at loss to know how the seemingly improvident poet can dive on what appears to be R very meager income. Stupid things! They have not tte comprehension and delicious imagination to perceive that he true bard can warm himself by is own poetic fire and secure his food and drink from his mince-Pierian spring.
