Brotherllneaa In Brockton.
Tlere Is a story told by Trofessor Bar
rett Wendell ubout Dr. William Ever
ett: The lutter was going out to
Brockton ouo night to deliver an ad
dress and ran across Mr. Wendell In
the Old Tark square station. "Come
along, Wendell," he said. "I am golns
out to Brockton to speak, and I want
some one respectable to sit on tho plat
form with me." So the professor went
long.
When Everett arone to speak, the
hnll, which was a large one, was only
passably well tilled, and even the com
paratively small iiuuiIht present begun
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped awny. Mr. Wendell began to
think that Brockton must be a singu
larly cold heurted place when sudden
ly ho noticed people coming in by twos
and threes aud Bilently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Boon
the ball was full, with standing room
only, but still they came till tho aisles
and walls were lined with Interested
listeners.
Tho supposed deserters had simply
gone out and told the people of Brock
ton that here was the greatest man
they'd ever heard and gathered them
In by the score. Boston Herald.
Won by lit Wit.
A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral of the rector of
the parish in which the nobleman'a
eat was situated.
The father of his pupil was patron of
the living and was also present at tiie
foneral of the deceased rector. There
was a young clergyman present also
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the Bight and asked if the young man
was a son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh, dear, no, my lord ik relation at
all," said the tutor.
"No relation I" exclaimed the noble
man In a surprised tone.
"None, my lord; he is the curate, and
I think he Is not weeping ftr the dead,
but for the living."
His lordship, who was something of
a wit and a cynic himself, was no de
lighted with the bonmot that be con
ferred the living upon tho ready pun
ster. How Thar Do Ia China.
In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. Jolcn buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman uever puts Ids name
outside of bis shop, but paints Instead
a motto or a list of bis goods on his
vertical signboard. Borne reinsuring
remark Is frequently added, Mich as
"One word hall," "A chlkl two feet
high would not be cheated." Every
single article has to bo bargained for,
and it Is usual for the custonr to
take his own measure and scales with
him.
When you engage a servant or make
a bargain, it Is not considered binding
until "the fastening penny" I ma been
paid. Although his bad faith lri notori
ous In some matters, yet, to do him
Justice, wbua once this coin has been
puld by you he Chinaman, cody or
shopman will generally ntlck to his
bmguin even If the result to-lilia be
