His ability and tact rapidly altered the situation and to-day he is beloved by-all his 'people, who are enthusiastic in their loyalty to the venerable Emperor.) He has now exceeded the duration) of the reign of Queen Victoria, but he is still eight years behind the record established by Louis XIV. of France. . ' Undoubtedly the Emperor owes his ¢ long life in a great measure to his simple and frugal habits. It has been said that a sum of two dollars a-day would suffice for his private reeds. He rises at five in the morn- ing, and after partaking of a cup of coffee and a biscuit he goes for a long walk. He always retires to bed at nine if State geremonies do not forbid, and he finds recreation in shooting. A pretty incident occurred on the venerable Emperor's birthday. His niefes, unknown to him, had some cinematograph films taken of their uncle, and these were shown during the birthday festivities, so that the Emperor could see with his own eyes how young he looks. "Damnable Doctrine." Rev. W. McDonagh is a retired Methodist minister living in Toronto. He is one of the ablest of the old- time preachers still alive, and though not what some people would call a popular preacher, could always draw a crowd because of his vigorous and emphatic outspokenness, With him calling a spade a spade was mild, and then some. That there was nothing mealy-mouther about him will be ad- mitted by all who know him, while he is as tender hearted as a child. A certain young clergyman who had made a name for himself as a clever preacher on several Ontario circuits, consented to supply for Mr. McDonagh one Sunday, and before starting out, gave ay outline of his sermon to him, na his text and remarking: "I think a good many" people have misdnderstood the text." Mr. McDonagh listened patiently to the outlined sermon, and then blunt- ly said: "Well, that may be your interpretation of the text, but I hope you don't preach any such damnable doctrine as that to my people." ¥e---------------- ye An Artful Dodger. .
