A minister suddenly stopped in his sermon and sung a hymn, " If the members of the choir are to do the talking," he explained, " they will certainly permit me to do the singing." And then things in the neighborhood of the organ became more quiet, One ot the corner men at a recent Sydney minstrel show failed to appear. A substitute was found, who "went on" the vacant corner with a white face :md playing a triangle! • "In La Morte Civile,' says "T always weep, and greatly. ss' there is in Rio Janeiro a newspaper pdi'or, Penhor de Castro, a big, bearded man, who is famous for his lack of . feeling.
