ago, has notified the Bishop that he
has concluded not to accept the

hundred dollars per year greater

the latter.
Knowing the success which has

in which he is held by its people,

llrlblng Spurgeon.
Tho recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Chnrlcs H. Spurgcon contnlns ntftj
account ot what may bo tormcd aa
early business venture, and Its Influ
ence on his character. Spurgcon was
brought up on Watts' hymns; but not
altogether willingly. Ills grandmoth
er coaxed htm with money to learn
them. At first alio gave him a penny,
but when 8ho saw how easily It was
earned, tho old lady reduced tho prize
to a halfpenny and then to a farthing.
There Is no tolling how low tho
amount per hymn might havo fallen,
but just at this tlmo his grandfather
mudo a discovery which seemed moro
deslrablo to Spurgcon. Ho discovered
that his house was overrun with rats,
and offered hlfl grandson a shilling a
dozen for all ho could kill. Tho oc
cupation ot rat-kllllng gave him moro
money than learning hymnB. "But,"
Mr. Spurgcon characteristically says,
"I know which employment has been
tho moro permanently profitable to
ine."
Op Against Appearance.

PA83INQ OF THE STOCK.
Well-Ire(ed Mrn. Uowever, Will Wear
It When nidlng.
Tho paeslng of the stock Is typical
of men's way of dressing here. When,
the stock was first worn by blcycld
riders, it was taken from tho equcs-'
trlanfl of both soxes, who had nlways
worn It on horseback. Men who want
ed to ho wearing tho latest thing,
whatever Ita prcrlety might bo, began
to put on tho stock for all occasions.'
Consequently, shorAkoopcrs tell their'
customora that tho stock has "gono
out," although thoro is no moro rea
son why it should go out than that
tho collar should. It is Just as per
manent an nrtlclo of dress in its place
as tho collar. Well-dressed men tho
world over will wear stocks for riding
and hunting, however utterly It may
bo "gono out" for tho person who un
dertook to wear tho stock at all times, ,
under tho Impression that It was a
smart successor to tho collar. "Ono of
tho curious things about fashion horo
in distinction to England," Bald n ha
berdasher who visits this country twlco
a year to soil his wares, "Is the In
sistence ot Amerloans on having a

especial favorite of self-reliant Donna
This marked deficiency of brothers In,
tho family displeased her. Slip had
sent frequent letters to tho all-powor-
ful Santa Claus to remedy the defect,
nnd even shouted up tho dining room
chimney to him to "send us. somo
brothers," but tonguo nnd pen proved,
alike Ineffective, and Donna hnd be
come disgusted. Sho had seen cltlck
cnt, cmergo from egg shells In New
York city department stores. Tho gro,
cer brought n dozen eggs and placed
thorn on tho kitchen tablo. Donna
spied them, and acted Instantly. Tho
eggs wcro soon disappearing and Don
na was "wury busy." Had tho grocer
cheated In tho count? It seemed plaus
lblo until a certain llttlo girl was
caught as they Bay, "red-handed," with
a big egg In each chubby hand, march
ing toward the staircase.
"What are you doing with thosri
eggs?" sternly demanded hor mam
ma. "I'm puttln 'cm In brother's
