creating a great sensation among the
young rustics at the dance when we

In Want of Milk.
+ A good story is told of two young
Englishmen traveling in Europe. 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 suggestion
that loit ht be pronounced ‘light’
was adop. oqually in vain
Finally in despair one of tae strug:
- gling youths exclaimed:
“Wall, it's. mighty queer wo don’t
know nough to get a littlo drop of |
milk."
“Do you want milk?’ asl pod the wait-
ress, opening her mouth for the first
time. : :
“Y.yos,”' gtammered tha travelers,
overwiielmed with surprise
“Then why didn’t you say &) at first?"
queried the girl as she floanced off.
And again the young men didn's
know. — London Tit-Bite
Passing an Examination,
The story of a well known bishop
whick reached me the other day socms
good (nough for publication. 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.
