Aii atheist asked Bishop Boyd Carpenter if he believed that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. '" When I go to Heaven I will ask Jonah," said his lordship. "But supposing," the other persisted, "he is not there!" "Then yon will have to ask him," was the quick retort. A doctor said the other day that an hotel man once asked him how many feet of gas the average gas suicide inhaled. "I don't- know/' said the doctor; " some hundreds, I suppose. But why do yon ask that? 7 ' "There was a gas suicide at my hotel last night," was the reply, "and I want to charge up his eas to his executors."
