An eccentric clergyman In Cornwall had been much annoyed by the way the members of the congregation bad of looking around to see late comers. After enduring It for some " time he said on entering the reading desk one day: "Brethren, I regret to see that your attention Is called away from your religious duties by your very natural desire to see who comes In behind you. I propose henceforth to save you the trouble by naming each person who.may come late." He then began, "Dearly beloved," but paused half way to Interpolate. "Mr. S.. with his wife and daughter." Mr. S. looked rather surprised, but the minister, with perfect gravity, re sumed. Presently he again paused. "Mr. C, and William D." The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously Jtent on their books. The service proceeded In the most or derly manner, the parson Interrupting himself every now and then to name some newcomer. At last he said, still with the same perfect gravity: "Mrs. S. In a new, bonnet." In a moment every feminine head in the congregation had turned around. Millinery Trade Keview. A Myatery of the Sen. One of the most curious finds ever made from the sea was that which came to the Azores in 1858. The is land of Corvo was then" in the posses sion of two runaway British sailors. One morning there drifted ashore a craft which had evidently been frozen in the Ice "for a long time. It was an ancient and battered brig, without masts, bulwark of Miame, but the hatches were on4 the cabin doors fast, and the bulk wM buoyant She. had lit tle cargo, and Ihati consisted of skins and furs in prime condition. No papers were found In the cabin, but it .was figured that she .was a sealer or trader, carrying a crew of 10 or 12, .and that she had been pro visioned tor a "fear. ; 'xne ; Hour was spoiled, but the w beef .-was- perfectly preserved. . She?, had ' been' abandoned when frozen In an Iceberg and drifted for years. The date of the letter found In the forecastle showed that the brig had been abandoned nearly" half a century before. The two sailors got out the furs, which eventually brought them $4,000. - and two barrels of beef and then set fire to the wreck. No trace was ever found of Its name or owners. , Jnat an Ordinary Steak. .

So the matter will be held in abeyance for two years,' the office created and the president, when Pritch- v ard's term ends, will appoint him. An accident occurred at Cronly, on the Seaboard Air.
