Bishop ihornton, vicar of Blackburn,
has been suffering from influenza, and he
writes in his parish, magazine?"One
needs to pass in the depths of influenza
to understand some of the verses of Job,
Lamentations, and the Psalms! 1 have
sometimes been conscious of an almost
comical incongruity in watching, say,
on a sunny moraine in a crowded church
a healthy, well-fed, bright-faced choirboy
warbling from his cushioned stall, '1
am witnered like grass/ 'My days are
consumed like smoke/ 'By reason of
groaning my bones cleave to my flesh.'
But the exhaustion of the sick bed can
eliminate all sense of exaggeration in
some sucn phrases as we have quoted.'
A certain man, of rather a waggish
disposition, contends that his wife has

way home.

voyage of Columbus and how h?
insisted on continuing the voyage after
the other men were clamoring' to return.

went up. "Well, Johnny, who was he?"

read it to them, as she hoped, with great
success. The next day. however, she
heard that a boy, on being asked by his
mother what had happened at the school,
replied. carelessly: "Oh, nothing much, except
a lady talked to herself on a piece of
paper."?New York Tribune.
Little Emma, having been initiated by
her aunt into the mysteries of subtraction,
and having satisfactorily answered
several simple questions, wa3 asked, "If
you were to go out with three half-peeov.
and spend them all, what would you come
home with?" Unhesitatingly and profnptly
came the answer. "Candy."
The Philadelphia Press tells a story
of a house-painter. "I thought you were
working on Jay Krank's new house,"
said the house-painter's friend. "I was
