GOOD TIME FOR A LECTURE.

A well known doctor of divinity and a certain Nonconformist minister are great friends, but they dearly love a joke at each other's expense. The former oncedeliy ered a series of lectures, and one of them —on Palestine—was not interesting enough to " bold " the audience, whioh gradually withdrew before its conclusion, Not long afterwards the doctor's hooM was entered by a burglar. He gave a graphic account of the affair to his friend th« Nonconformist minister and ended by saying :— " i had him fiat on his back. I held him so that he could not move an inch! '* " Good!" exclaimed the other \ " bat, my dear sir, what a splendid opportunity that was to have delivered to him your lecture on Palestine ! "

A JAPANESE JOKE.

A good story, apropos of the visit of the Japanese Prince, is being told in Paris abont a former Japanese .Embassy who came to France to arrange about three free ports which were to be opened to trade in Japan and France respective* Iy. The French Minister for Foreign Affairs chose Yokohama, Yeddo, and Han Yang. The Japanese Ambassador smiled and went away. Soon afterwards Japan signified that she had selected the three French ports of Havre, Marseilles, and Southampton, The French For 1 eign Office went into fits of laughter at this blunder, and pointed out that South* amp ton was in England, "We are per* fectly aware of it, " replied the Japanese Ambassador, "and Han Yang i» in Corea. "

A MINISTER'S STORIES OF HIS CONGREGATION.

The Rev H R Haweis, incumbent of St James's Marylebone, tells a number of stories in the June number of the " Temple Magazine " about his congre gations:—

There was a certain old Duke,he writes who used to sit up in the left hand gall ery with his old I)uehesßj believing him self to be inct>g. One Sunday a too offi cious steward, on seeing the old noble man take a back seat, hurried up to him, and said " Will not your grace have a better seat ? " « Come along, Maria I " said the old Duke, " t we're diecoverfed. 1 " and he immediately walked out with th« Duchess, and never showed his face in side uiy church again. M Gounod, the great composer, once stopped to speak to me after service. He was profuse in his commendation of the sermon, but I afterwards found out he had pot understood a word of it.

Mr Gladstone came several times, but fortunately I only saw him once when he sat in our pew. What made things worse w»fl that my nose began to bleed, and for * preacher's attention to be di vided between his nose and his text, with Mr Gladstone sitting in the front pew, was a situation the appaling inconveni ence of which I fully realisd. Why sir Kichard Burton also came I never could imagine, but he not only came but used to write to me about my sermoDß. I liked Barton personally, although he was a grim man, and he used to-complain bitterly at the attempts made by the clergy to force a soul upon him when past middle life. " It was rather haid, " he said, " when he had done very well without ooe for so many years."

When Tennyson found his way into my church one Sunday morning whilst I was preaching, and sat with Hallam, now Lord Teanyson, directly under the pulpit, I was range to say, not in the least perturbed, and I took care to quote some of his own poetry to him. It struck me as most remarkable that he and bis son Hallatn should have been put into the very pew which had been pointed out to me as that in which the historian Hallam end his son Arthur (the hero of the" Iv Memoriam ") had been in the habit of sitting long years before I came to church.

THE LONG CONTRACT SYSTEM.

A peculiar outcome of the long con tracts sometimes entered into by railway companies is cited. Not long ago a large rail making firm in Pennsylvania was furnishing rails to a railroad on an old contract at 19 dollars per ton, A somewhat similar commercial freak once happened in Glasgow at a copper boom, when one of the local railways was ablß to get a much higher price for their dis card'eJ locomotive copper plates than the rate originally paid when new' —many years ago, . _^

Dear Sirs, —I am writing to inform you that I have used your Plantekoa Ointment with most gratifying results* About five mcatha ago I had the misfortune to get my hand caught in the door of the guard's van at the Lower Hutfe Railway Station. My thumb was badly crushed, and in a few hours it was terribly swollen and as black as my hat. Some of my friends stated that it would be necessary to have my thumb taken off, and I thought myself that I would require surgical aid. Having your Flantekoa Ointment in the House (we always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days* The result was astounding In a fortnight it was completely healed, and as sound as it wan before the accident. It is with pleasure I send you this note that other sufferers may be induced to try Pkutekoa.
