Cot Their I.locnsns,

There is an ancient ,«w iu Rhod-s Is land, which, however, is uluios', f.•}s^c-.t-ten, requiring olorgymou to tuki- oat lioense before ofiQciating at marrmgob The other day Father O'Hure and Mr Stewart, the Episcopal rector of Auburn, went to the town clerk for this license. At first the town clcrk was much puzzled what to do, as he had no proper lioense blanks, but he finally got over the difficulty, and the clergymen departed. After they had got on a street oar they opened their licenses, and each was horrified to find himself in the possession of a fnll fledged seoond class liqnor license, with power to run a liquor shop subject to all the privilege* and penalties of the law. A closer in•peotion of the license, however, showed that the words "seoond class liqnor lioense," giving power to sell "malt, spirituous and intoxioating liquors" at retail or wholesale, had had a line drawn through them, and instead of the words "to sell malt, spirituous and intoxioating liquors" were interlined the words "to perform marriages.:: and so forth.

Each clergyman made a wry face a* he contemplated his battered licensc, and each silently vowed to exhibit it only in case of dire peril of a |20 fin*,. Bat both blessed the ingenuity of the official that could transform a document which portends so much evil for ths race, according to their viows, into an instrument with power to give suoh happiness.—New York Tribune.

The strange sayings of children fill a volume—for the mutter of have filled one, I believe—while, as the situations thoy adopt in their play, they are imitated from the life dramas of their elders with that reckless disregard for consistency and development that often distinguishes the dramatist. A friend of mine who had been Christmasing in th: country told rue of a very funny example of this trait in "our little ones." A large party of children were sent up to the schoolroom one afternoon to amuse themselves and after a time two ladies made an excursion from the drawing room to see how they were getting on. The youngsters wore "play acting," and the sceno in which they were engaged was that of a fashionable wedding. Away from the group of performers stood in a corner a tiny girl of about 3. Thinking the ohild had been banished as too young to join in the game, one of tho ladies went up to condole with her and ask the reason of her solitude. "Oh, huBlil" stiid the tiny mite, who could scarcely speak plainly. "I'ze tlie baby, 'ou know, and 1'ze waitin to be born'd."—London Sketch.

The greater rapidity with which Germans, Poles and Russians learn the English language is surely not to be accounted for merely by stating that their own more nearly resembles our language than does that of the French or Italian. A Greek, for instance, learns English in about half the time it takes nn Italian to acquire French, and a Russian will speak Frenoh, English and German in the same period that a Frenchman will acquire a mere smattering of the two latter.—Pearson's Weekly.

There's no such thing in this life as sompleto satisfaction. If a man has no money, ho is miserable, and if he has lots of it, it is next to impossible to invest it remuneratively. Thero is no business which is sure to pay, not even the business of stealing, but that's because there are 60 many persons in it, and thero would be many more in it if tho penitentiary did not prevent it from being open to everybody, and so be utterly ruined.—Boston Transcript.*

Learninit a Foreign Language. Some interesting statistics might be

collected on the effect upon linguistio

power and accent of the possession of a

musical ear. It would seem that a person with a good ear for music would be more rapid in the acquirement of a foreign tongue, and having acquired it would possess a more perfect pronunciation of the sounds than would a person not having tho same ready musioal gift

Similarly such a person would be quick to attaiQ the dialect of the conntry in which he might be living and to adapt his speech to the brogue or provincialism with which he found his earB surrounded.

Dr. Trego is a handsome man, of •ommandlng yraaeaos and goe apeahing voice. Hla manner is considered by many to be magnetic, and he le undoubtedly a man of large mental attainments. Hie career has been a romantic one. At the age of 14 years be •truck out to shift for hlfiself- and found work on a ranch in Colorado. Two years later found him In the role of printer's "devil" In the office of a small country weekly in Kansas, and it was here that young] Trego wrote his first play,'#Edch he called "Lrfpn Ben's Revfenge." It wae a picture of western life. Later he moved east, settling in Philadelphia, whexe he secured employment in a book store and attended night school. At the age of 21 he entered the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated from the law department with honors, but was never admitted to the bar. It was not until late in the season of 1884 that Mr. Trego took up the stage as a livelihood. He had appeared in various amateur performances in Philadelphia, and one day a friend told him that he was going to secure him an engagement with W. E. Sheridan, who waB organizing a company at the Walnut Street theater for a short tour In repertoire.

On th« Stage.

He played a four months' engagement with Sheridan. During the season of 1886-7 Mr. Trego played Harold Lennox in "Only a Farmer's Daugh ter." That same season he began ths construction of a religious tragedy, "The Crucifixion of Christ," which lie afterward arranged in an epic poem entitled "The Sacrifice," which hs published about a year ago. It wae while writing this work, which involved an accurate at»dy of toible characters, that Mr. Trego %ok up the ministry, graduating in l£9*°#ejr (be theological aemimiry at Naebatdh, Wis.

For the psst tihreti years he has been rector of 9t. Join's church. During his leisure time to© has written "The Minister's Drama." Two dramatic epics, "Zeno" and "Theophorus," besides several novels.

of the school department Its patrons for her cleverness in imparting knowledge, she being a toacher in the San Francisco public schools. The young people with whom she associated were on pleasure bent, and stories were circulated of midnight champagne suppers and select parties. Once a masquerade ball was held at Harmony hall which was a very swell affair. Every body was there, including Miss O'Brien and her set. There were many daring innovations in the way of costumes, some of which were conspicuous because of the richness and quantity of the material of which they were composed. Miss O'Brien burst forth In natural loveliness and appeared as a butterfly. The school authorities began an investigation. The fact was revealed that the butterfly queen was the wife of Frederick Castle. She had been married by contract. She had gained unenviable notoriety- and soon after departed.

TConden of the Brata-

That portion of the substance of the brain whloh is known ae the "gray matter" Is supposed to be most intl mately related to Intellectual action. Sometimes curious aggregations of gray matter are found in particular parts of the brain, and Dr. Frederick Peterson has recently suggested in the Popular Science Monthly that these may be the cause of the extraordinary mental powers oocassionally exhibited by persoss whose general intellectual capacity hardly rises above that of Idiots. Such powers, or aptitudes, always relate to some special faculty, like Memory, without including other faculties. The aggregations referred to, Dr. Peterson thinks, might explain the marvellous memory for music exhibited by "Blind Tom," and the still more extraordinary powers of Heinecker, "the child of Lubeck," who lived in the early part of the eighteenth century, and who "knew the chief Incidents of the Pentateuch at the age of one year, had ssastered all of sacred history at two years, and was intimately acquainted with modern and profane history and geography, and spoke French and Latin, besides bis native tongue, at the age of three."

Thflrchalk strata In that part of France contain the fossil 'bones of birds, reptiles and mammals, and frequently these are shattered in the attempt at removal. It occurred to Monsieur Lemoine that the embedded fossils might be photographed by aid of the X-rays, since the latter pass readily through chalk, but are largely intercepted by the phosphates of bones. It is reported that his photographs clearly indicate the details of the hidden fossils.

DEATH AND A SCORCHER. Ytiay Baa a Baca to Gala a cihlkPs Ufa.

Two physicians were carefully watching recently in Philadelphia a chlldi who was ill nnto death with typhoid fever, says the Philadelphia Time* Suddenly a change came over the dying girl and the physician's practiced eye was quick to note that it was for tho worse. For a few moments he gave IV all hope. Hr could think of nothing which would avert the disease, whoa suddenly he thought of a remedy which ho believed would give the dying child new lease of Ufa But the required^ drug was rare and at that hoar b» knew of bat two stores in the clbri which would have it. Hurriedly no VTote the prescription and, turning to the child's mother, he hand4(l it ts bor and told her that to save tho girl's life he must have (t in twenty minutest Robert McCurdy, an intimate friend ot the family and a man with a record as^ a wheelman, happened to call Just then* to ask after the sufferer's condition aad heard the physician say that the nearest place the prescription could be filled was at Fifteenth and Chestnut streets. He volunteered to go, and, seizing tbo prescription, he jumped on his wheel and was off in a flash. He had proceeded but a few squares when he encountered a bicycle policeman, who called upon him to stop. Ho never slackened hiB pace and the policeman started to overtake him. McCurdy soon distanced the bluecoat and when he arrived at the drug store was as fresh as when he started. The store was crowded, and* finding it would take some time to flit the order, the bicyclist retraced hll steps to the second named store. Hero he was promptly waited on, and, without stopping for change from the note which he had left on tho counter he started on his homoward trip. In crossing Pino rtreet his lamp went out, and the samo policeman who had previously endeavored to arrest him again gave chase, ©nt he was not in it with the crack rider, who has a track record equaled by few, and was left far behind. McCurdy reached the house ot the sick child bearing the life-giving medicine exactly eleven minutes after be started out on his errand of mercy, and the life el tho dying girl was saved.

There is now every prospect of her rapid recovery.
