Dr. Winmngton Ingram, the
bishop o f London, was once asked
to select his favorite clerical story,
and he chose the follow ing:
The late Archbishop Magee, the
famous Irish prelate, was once con
cerned with other high ecclesiastics
in the presentation o f a memorial
to Queen Victoria, and a meeting
was held to discuss its terms.
The original draft began with,
“ Conscious as we are o f our un-
worthiness, we humbly pray your
majesty,” etc., but some one sug
gested that this was inappropriate,
coming from bishops.

Tha Burglar.
A burglar was one night engaged
in the pleasing occupation o f stow
ing a good haul o f swag in his bag
when he was startled by a touch
upon his shoulder, and, turning his
head, he beheld a venerable, mild
eyed clergyman gazing sadly at him.
“ Oh, my brother, groaned the
reverend gentleman, “ wouldst thou
rob me? Turn, I beseech you—
turn from thy evil wavs. Return
those stolen goods and depart in
peace, for I am merciful and fo r
give. Begone!’
And the burglar, only too thank
ful at not being given into the cus
tody o f the police, obeyed and slunk
swiftly off.
Then the good old man carefully
and quietly packed the swag into
another bag and walked softly (so
ss not to disturb the slumber o f the
inmates) out o f the house and away

A Court Fool’s Joka.
Scogan, the famous court jester
of Edward IV ., dearly loved a prac
tical joke. Once he borrowed money
of the king and when the day for
payment came was unable to make
good his word.
He feared the
king’s anger and decided to appease
him by a joke. Feigning death, he
had his friends carry his body be
fore Edwayd; The king fell a ready
victim to the deception and in his
lamentations over the supposed
dead fool said he freely forgave the
debt. Scogan immediately sprang
to his feet, exclaiming, “ The news
fs so revivifying that it has called
me back to life.”

High Caste Mothers Load a Lonely,
Lazy Exists no«.
i f there are any women in the
world who have a right to die of
ennui it is those poor creatures of
Afghanistan, the upper class dames.
They spend their days doing abso
lutely nothing, for they disdain
sewing, cooking and general house
hold duties. They leave the care
o f their children to slaves, and they
can neither read nor write.
Generally in a rich house there is
one chief ¿lave, a sort of house
keeper, rather a grand person,
whom it is always wise to conciliate
if you intend having many dealings
with that establishment. In sum
mer she is always dressed in purest
white. In winter velvets and bro
cades are not beyond her reach.
She is generally an elderly person,
with considerable influence and a
good deal o f authority.
Then therg is another who is a
sort o f maid to the lady o f the
house. She is another person with
whom it is not wise to quarrel. She
is always very much in evidence.
She it is who prepares everything
for her mistress’ toilet, as also for
her master’s. It is the wife’s spe
cial duty and privilege, however,
when the things are prepared to
wait upon her husband when he is
dressing, to pour the water oveT his
hands and feet during his religious
washings, to spread his prayer car
pet, to put his favorite dish before
him, ana so on.
It is difficult to appreciate the
exact position o f these Afghan wo
men until one sees the way in which
mothers are treated by their sons.
They may nurse them when they
are sick, tend them when they are
young, but let the boys grow to be
eleven or twelve years old and you
will hear them tel] their mother to
“ chap sho” (shut up), send them
to fetch their caps ana expect to be
addressed by the mothers as “ agha
aul” or “ agha jon,” which means
“ my precious master,” “ master
dear.”
Kabul mothers seldom have much
affection for their children or their
children for them. They do not
nurse them as babies, and their
babyhood is a particularly long one,
for they are very backward. They
