SCIENCE AND SURTOUTS.
Ambleton was putting on his overcoat at the Metaphysical College, one stormy night. "This coat," he said to the friends who were watching him, while he bestowed various Journalistic parcels in its capacious pockets,—"this coat is a disciple of Christian Science! "
" Why?" asked the Teacher.
" Because it is uninjured by sin, sickness, and death,—untouched by decay, contagion, or evil. Eleven years of constant wear, and it still lives! "
" Whence came this miraculous coat?"
" From one Taylor, in St. John, New Brunswick."
" And of what cloth was it made?"
" Of good English indigo beaver."
Evidently there may be some truth in that Old Testament story about garments that waxed not old.
