Judge McCarthy, so the story goes, had been 'killed by an accident; awl the problem was how to break the news to his wife. The Irishman in question volunteered to break the news so gently that it would not jar oft the most sensitive feeling. Patting the body in a wagon he started for Mrs. Mc- Carthy's residence. "Does the Widow McCarthy live here ?" he asked, sigaificantly. ' She does not," said Mrs. McCarthy. I "Bub indade she does.

D., of the _Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York, has felt Compelled to issue a public letter concernliag his income. In the course ,of an addresslat Pittsburg, when the ques- tion of raising a memorial fund of a million delloas to deer off the missionary indebted- ness nas under discussion, Dr. Hall suggest- ed. that, since the Income Tax would not be called for, the amount wheels: would h&ve been thus spent might be given to the mis- sionary treasuries. People immediately jumped to the eenelusion that Dr. Hall's in- come ' ax would have been a thousand dol- lars, since he offered tq give that, sum to the board. Dr. Hall states that his income has been entirely misrepresented. It is not $100,001) or. e50,0e0. or even0,000. He is •not a rich Innen and instead of realizing .530,000 a year from waddingfees he says he has not received ae much during his life. This letter of Dr. Hall's' affords auloppor- Wray for saying that there is perhaps, nothing which is more commonly misuuder- stood than the in me of .prominent *minis- ters. It is suppost 1, because one receives a salary of ten or fif en thousand dollars, that he is in much ier circumstances than those who receive only one-teuth of that amount. But the value of the salary is to be measured not by the amount received, but by the amount of, necesserY outgo—and no man is more constantly surrounded by persons seeking money, than such pastors. Where the rents are as high as in New •York or most cities, that single item is larger than the salaries of most country ministers, while the accommodations reeeiv- ed for the money are often inferior.

It is seldom one finds a leader of fashion among the royal women of Europe.. Not a few of them are notable for a disregard of fashion's deerees and many others are con- tent to follow the lead of others, says the Philadelphia Press. Sate of thein have fads in garmeuts, as, for instance, Queen Sophia; of Sweden, who is a member of the Salvation- Army; and affects the style of raiment peculiar to that organization. Queen Emma, of the Netherlands, makes no pretentious whatever about dress, and the most familiar portraits of her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, alien- us a simple figure in the native dress, of Holland. The dress of Queen Henrietta, of Belgium has always been simple. The Empress Of Germany, too, is another instance of a royal lady who has little or no influence on the fashions of Mr country. PRINCESS OF WALES. .- 111 England, the Pat:Loess. of Wales and her daughter are striking instances of wce: men of royal blood who have not only not led the fashion, but they have not even,fol- lowed it, the most striking proof being af- forded in the fact that they have never adapted the enormous puffed sleeves which have been in vogue for some time. In fact, an examination of the portraits of the Prince • of 'Wales' charming consort will show that during the last 15 years, at any rate, the cut of her dresses has scarcely va- ried at alh, .For carriage dresses and gowns, to be worn at any daylight functions, the shape known as the "Princess," has always been adhered to, theitoilet being invariably set off by those slain bear ii!ct name, no on Royal Highness coif as "picture hats." although the textu vary, display the sa bed should be kept clean and dry and free from dust; •should be cleaned regularly and air -slacked 1.nie dusted on the floor every time before the bedding is put in.

Presently there was a, commotion in the sea, right lei the way of the moon, a.nd I immediately' went for the night glasses to ascertain if possible the nature of it. We edged away a little under the light draft of wind. so as to draw nearer to the scene and pres- ently werei able to realize its full signifi- cance. A !very large sperm whale was ea.- gae-bed in a deadly conflict with a mon- strous squid, whose farreaching tentacles enveloped the whale'e whole body. The livid -whiteness of those writhing arms, whicli inlaced the cachelot likea nest oft mighty serpents, stood out in bold relief against the black bowlderlike head of the aggressor. Presently the whale raised itself half out of the water,and we plainly saw the awful looking hea,d of the gigantic squid.
