Ths Ruling PaMlen.
A Celebrated muslc.il critic waa tnar
rted tn churcll some years ago, and
after the ceremony, as the wedding
process lou marched down the aisle, the
organist played the wedding march
from "Lohengrin." When near the
door, the bridegroom stopped In the
march and addressed the wondering
assembly thus:
"I know I am committing a breach 1
of etiquette as well as propriety In
doing this, but I am not to blame. It
Is my mental organization which has
become ineffably sensitive . by reason
of the critical nature of my duties."
Then he drew troui the pocket of his
dress coat a well thumbed copy of the
score of "I<ohengrin." Opening It at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
"What offended my ear was the fact
that In the seventeenth bar of the da
capo passage you tlatted very badly,
and In the andante movement you
slurred the appogglatura. Now," put
ting his finger upon the passage, "let
us try that again."
Once more the organ pealed forth,
and this time the player, conscious
that the great critic was listening to
him. accomplished tils duty with credit
to himself and to the great satisfac
tion of the critic. I.ondou Standard.
Th? Sick Chinaman.
Perhaps nowhere lu the world Is
family affection stronger than among
the Chinese, yet their method of deal
ing with the slot Is pitiable to the
more enlightened world. Wheu a fa
vorite son falls 111 his life depends
largely upon a package of joss sticks.
The grieving father keeks a Joss house,
procures a handful of these sticks and,
taking them bi>me. lights them, fie
shakes them gently. Soon one falls.
U* It lighted? Eagerly the father
watches it. Will It burn to the end
or go out'' If it Is enftrely consumed
the son will survive; If It goes ont he
will die. It goes out!
The Chlunmau reasons thus: Ills son
was chased by a devil and wheu the
deTll touched hlui he became III. The
<Je\ II demonstrated by meaus of the
Joss sticks that his sou must die. Had
the Joss sticks burned to the end it
would hare siguldvd the future recov
ery of the patient. Joss uieu would
have been called in. a most fearful
din would have followed, aud the dev
11 and all his lower Imps would have
Uieu driven away.? New York Herald.
A Life Sontence.
Said Mr. Juacker, who was reading
the paper. "Another poor wretch has
been tftveu a life seutence at hard
labor."
Said Mrs. Joacker. who was embroid
ering blue roses: "Probably he de
serves It. What Is he guilty of?"
"Fraud aud no visible means of suit
port. He obtained clothes and a fine
turnout with uo money and nothing
collectible. He seems to be larger
and stronger than ra<wt of that class,
yet It is plalu that he has never done(
a tap of work, thoogh he has managed
to live well so far. But the |H?r fel
low takes his seuteuce hard and cries
plteously. protesting his Innoceuce."
"The wretch! lie must have dealt
with perfect fools!"
"No; his victim Is our own friend.
Jack Smith."
"That clever lawyer! IH> read to me

"Shouting."
Early Australian gold diggers made
many contributions to the slang of
that commonwealth. One of these
was "shouting." or standing drinks for
everybody within hall, a practice of
which the lucky digger was very fond.
To refuse to drink with a digger who
had "struck It rich." or turned up a
big nugget, was a deadly insult. A
critic quotes from J. P. Hogan's "His
tory of the Irish In Australia:" "Shout
lag was at one time almost universal
To shout in a public house means to
Inalst on everybody present, friends
and atrangers alike, drinking at the
ahouter's expense. It frequently hap
pens that each oue shouts' in succes
a! on."
