To illustrate how a man broadens who keeps in touch with the ever changing conditions of this world, Dr. Lorimer told a story in Tremont Tem ple that was not only pat, but was ap parently heartily enjoyed by the women folk present, says the Boston Evening Record. “When I was first married,” said the doctor. “I had my strict ideas about Sunday observance Mrs. Lorimer has a colored ‘aunty’ for cook, and on the first Saturday efttr she came I went into the kitchen and told her I did not want any Sunday work, so she could prepare all meals for that day beforehand. . “She didn't say one word while I was talking ; then she looked up and, pointing to the door, exclaimed : “ ‘Now, look hyah, Marse George, you jest go in dar and tend to your Christianity, and leave me to tend to mah kitchen.” “I went, and, as near as I can re member, she had hot dinners Sundays as long as she stayed with ns.” Why They Missed the Train An amusing incident took place lately at the railway station at Havre, which beautifully illustrates the value of the French regulation of locking up travelers in the waiting, rooms up to the moment of their departure. A train was to start at a certain time for Montevil'ers, a small town about half an hour’s journey by rail from Havre. Away went the train, and in due course of time it reached its destination The guard hastened to open the doors of the carriages, and was surprised to find them all empty. All the persons who had taken tick ets for that train had been left safely locked up in the wailing rooms at Havre, the official who ought to have unfa tened the doors and announced the moment of the train’s departure having forgotten to fulfill his duty. A special train was prepared as quick ly as possible, and the travelers were finally dispatched to their destination after a long and vexatious delay.— Invention. Executive Committee.
