Sleeping In Church. “Charies." said old Mrs. Spreckles to her husband. ''Pm so ashamed of the way you go to sleep in chureh Sunday after Sunday that 1 don’t know what to do. 1 can’t hardly hold my head up and look the people in the face after the services. You are such a devout man on week days that 1 don’t see why you show so much disrespect for sacred things on the Sabbath.” “There’s no disrespect Intended.” answered Mr Spreckles. “1 am like the little boy next door. All week he looks forward eagerly to the Sunday auto ride his uncle gives him. It is the crowning event of the week to him. Yet he goes to sleep invariably before he has ridden a mile, and he doesn’t wake up until it is ail over. Because Willie goes to sleep is no sign that the ride is not doing him any good, is It?”—Newark News. Emigrant Potatoes. Irish potatoes, like Irishmen, do better abroad than they do at home, and just as the average Irishman when be gets to the colonies becomes a governor general, like Lord MacDonuell or Sir Gavan Duffy, so the average Irish seed potato planted in England knocks spots out of the average Scotch or English seed.—lrish Homestead. Englisn Cigars. “Do cigars ever contain repe?” “No. That’s just a pleasantry of the jokemakers. As a matter of fact, hemp is too expensive to put in the cheaper brands of cigars.”—London Mail. The eruptions of Vesuvius greatly increase the fertility of the ground in the vicinity.
