There Is, says a London religious paper, a man in the north of England, who is by the common consent of all his friends awarded a title, that of ,-Slr." It came to him in a curius way. One day a new teacher came to the school where this man, when a youth, was receiving Instruc tion, and the boy was the lirst of whom the teacher asked the question, "What is your name?" "John Wilson," replied tho lad. "Sir," said the teacher, ndmonlshingly. The boy only looked stupid. He did not know what the teacher meant, for the buys of that school hud never been taught to address their masters as "sir." "You must always say 'sir' when you address me in the future, boy," thundered the master. "And now again, what is your name?" "Sir John Wilson!" answered tho boy, promptly. The teacher was unable to refrain from Joining in the laugh which followed; and from that day to this the boy has been known as "Sir John Wilson." His mistuko was almost as good to him as a royal pat ent. DANGEROUS SHEW. The dangers of mountain climbing aro in general pretty well understood, and so can be guarded against, but Sir W. Mar ton Conwuy, in Seribrier's Magazine, nar rates a mountain adventure of a really novel sort. On the way to Mud Lake we had a strange adventure, of which I was fortu nate enough to secure a photograph. We were approaching the highest sheep-pasture as the day waned. The sheep, 1,700 In number, saw us from the surrounding slopes, and urged by a longing for salt, rushed down upon us from all sides, wi'.h one united "Baa!" iu a wild, converging avalanche. We beat off the leaders, but they could not retreat, for those behind pressed them forward. Finding that Cartel was the Salter morsel, the whole flock surged upon him. They lifted him oft his feet, carried him forward, cast htm to the ground and poured over him. Fortunately the ground s flat. When the shepnerff saw what had hapepned he whlRtled shrilly thrice, whereupon tho sheep dispersed In terror, fleeing up the mountain side in all directions till no two remained together. HER INTRODUCTION TO OPERA OLASSKS. This Is a story that Charles Henry Webb tells of a. Western experience of his. He happened to meet an old acquaintance In San Francisco a few years ago, und as there was grand opera in the city Just then, Mr. Webb took the young daughter of his friend to hear "Faust." The girl was Just out of a convent and had never been In a theater in all her life before. As the curtain rose Mr. Weng handed her a pair of opera glasses. The girl looked at them for a moment. The she raised tbem to her dainty nose, sniffing at llrst one side and then the other. "Why," she said, as she handed the lorgnette back to her companion, "you ain't got any salts in them." Washing ton Post. A TERRIBLE RECORD. Members of parliamentary bodies some, times like to satirize their deliverances as a whole, as well as to make fun dis tinctly and Individually of one another. One day a member of a great legislative body was conversing with a gentleman when another member came up. , "Allow me," said the first member, "to Introduce to you Mr. Blank, the man who has written more stupidities than any other living person." "Ah," said the second member, "an editor?" "No; he's the official stenographer of the house!" HE KNEW HIS BUSINESS. Understand your business and stick to It. This is a pretty good motto, and was well lived up to by a delegate to one of our great political conventions. Ho was a breezy, enthusiastic, fellow, one who seemed to be bubbling over with good material for an interview. "What do you think of the situation?" the reported asked. "What do I thlnkT Young man, you utterly mistake th nature of my employ ment. I'm not here to think, I'm here to hellerr'-iWai hington Star.

Miller has Invented an "envelograph" system for making church contributions. This offering envelope has a flap as long as the body of the envelope, fastened by a fixed rubber band, and thus the offering ac count is in no way exposed. An of fering envelope case is placed at the entrance of the church, in which the envelopes are kept in alphabetical or numerical order, and each contributor thus finds his envelope always In the same compartment. The case Is open, under official oversight, during public services, and at all other times it is kept locked. Blank spaces are sup plied for entering the regular Lord's day offerings for current expenses, and for offerings for general beneficence, special funds, .etc. The use of the of fering envelope Is simplicity Itself. On entering tha church each contributor takes his envelope from the case, and, having carefully enclosed his offering, places the same upon tho plate when the offerings are gathered. The finan cial secretary receives the envelopes after the service and enters the amount of the offerings in the proper spaces provided. He then returns the en velopes to their place In the case.
