Unexpected.
One of the dignitaries of the Church
of Scotland was a minister of a re
mote parish before he leaped into fame,
but was not considered a particularly
eloquent preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations were made In
the church, which had the effect of
sweeping away considerable seating
accommodation. One day after the
alterations had been effected be visit
ed the church to see how it looked.
“What do you think of the improve
ments. John?” he asked the beadle.
“Improvements!” exclaimed John in
disdain. “They’re no improvements at
a\ Whaur are ’ee goin’ to put the j
folk?”
“Oh.” said the minister, “we have
abundance of room. John, considering
the size of the congregation.”
“That’s a* very weel the noo.” re
torted the beadle. “But what will we j
do when we get a popular minister?”—

Newton’s Shock.
The immortal discoverer of the law j
of the attraction of gravity was at
one time beside himself. In his fiftieth
year Newton stiffen'd the severe shock
from which he uever fully recovered
A dog upset a lighted candle, and pre
cious manuscripts embodying the re
sults of many years’ experiments In
optics were destroyed. In consequence
of this Newton’s mind lost its balance.
Brewster denies this, but about its
truthfulness there Is not much room
for doubt. It is certain that for a con
siderable time his letters were quite
incoherent, and to be accounted for
upon no other hypothesis than that of
a disordered mentality. Newton slow
ly recovered and lived to be eighty
three years old.
