Smoking in Church The Indignant complaint was re cently made at a religious confer ence In England, to the effect that men go to church smoking and only put out their pipes or cigarettes in the church porch. This objection would have astonished Welshmen of an earlier generation. Until little more than half a century ago. In many parts of Wales, the open ing of the sermon was the recog nized signal for the male part of the congregation to light their pipes, and no one seems then to have seen nny Irreverence in the cus tom.

One of the best of recent analyses of the great commander U “Napoleon,” by Herbert A. L. < Fisher, at one time British min ister of education. Mr. Fisher has made the French dictator luminous by his phrases. Here, for Instance, is a passage on Napoleon as a young man, portraying him as a turbulent example of the people from which he sprang: “The Corsican bore a character for sobriety, courage and ha rdi hood. Hate was for him a virtue, vengeance a duty, pardon an in famy. He felt the call of the clan like a Highlander, an Albanian or a Zulu, and was full of the pride and self-assurance common to gallant men who have never met a superior. -' | “Vigilant and astute in, his judg ment of character, he was a master of dissimulation save where pas sion broke in and spoiled the reck-4 oning. I ••His standard of honor forbade theft, enjoyed hospitality and tol-, | crated woman as the drudge of the household and field. In general his deportment was noted as grave and I social. He was sparing of amuse- i ment, would sit at cards without a word and suffer torture without, a cry; hut when the seal of silence was once broken, language would stream from him like a torrent, an Index of that uneasy, impatient, quarrelsome energy which was a common attribute of the race.” Kidneys cause backache!

A hoard of Swift anecdotes recently unearthed includes the illustration of the dean’s mania for closed doors. Swift’s housekeeper hired his servants, but when they came Into liis employ he always told them there were only two rules to ob serve.

In fear and trembling the poor girl presented herself be fore the dean, asking him what ho wanted her for. ‘Only to shut the door,’ was the reply, ‘after which you can resume your journey. * ** The Lasso Our word lasso Is from the Span ish lazo, meaning a snnre.
