They bad never thoroughly mastered any of the languages commonly spoken on thn continent and were particularly weak in their French, knowing that language ‘+ #11 enough by «ight, but not having a ‘speaking acquaintance with it. . Finding themselves in a small French: town ome evening, they were desirons of obtaining a good cup of coffee. Know- ing that cafe was coffee, and that lait was milk, they endeavored to call for a judicions mixture of the two, but their articulation was of so remarkable an order. that they succeded only in get- ting the coffen. Cafe an late they tried without suceeon. Then da lay-it was attempted navailingly.

The bishop was one day éxamining a batch of dea- oons for priesta’ orders. - After the the oretical part of the examination, be said to them: ‘‘Gentlemen, you have passed amot excellent examination in theory. . I should now like to see ycu do somo- thing practical. I shall go into the next and personate a sick man. You 11 come in, one by one, address me as a sick parishioner, and say something comforting. '’ When his lordubip had re- ‘tired, the candidates were in some con- fusion, and nobody cared to begin, but at last a mad Irishman voluntered to be the first. He entered the study and ap- proached the bishop, who was lying with a wodbegone air on the sofa, and | thus addressed him: '‘Oh, Anthony, - Anthony! The drink again! Shure it will be tho death of ye! Tum from your | evil grays before it's too late and Le man!’’ This is said to be the last time | that the bishop held a practical exami- | nation. London Truth.
