Gle itself was unique Elevated far above
the heads of the crowd; the coffin stood upon
a heeped pyramid of funeral furniture and
college insignia. Immortelles and grave
blossoms of many kinds covered the coffin,
the catafalque and the bearers. Flaring
torches glared smokily through the feeble
darkness of an early June dusk.

The Lords PRAYER, /,

Those people who suppose theLord sPrayer
is the same now as when uttered by Christ,
will be surprised to read the following and
learn the changes that have been made in 1t
from time to time 1t seems that it was not
until the year 1911 that the words ''for
thine is the kingdom and the power and the
glory forever were added. Between the
years 1853 and 1911 the words ''and forgive
us our debts as we forgive our debtors
were left out altogether. Since that time
other changes have taken place. In addi-
ton to this it must be remembered that for
period of fifty years no manuscript existed
containing this prayer:
A. D. 1858.

What is catgut7

Some inquiring mind has started the
question. "What is catguts' The Shoe and
Leather Reporter thus answers: .sFor many
years, the only article used under this name
consisted Of the intestines of sheep, cut and
twisted. As the Italian sheep are the lean
est Of those accessible to market, and the
membranes of lean animals are known to be
tougher than those Of animals in high con-
dition. the best catgut has come from Naples
and the vicinity. There is no historical re-
cord concerning the use Of the intestines Of
cats for strings of this sort, but from the
fact that their name, from the earliest times,
has uniformly been applied to this article,
it would appear altogether probable that the
strings did first come, or were supposed to
come, from that source. The chief use Of
catgut for many years was for the strings of
harps and guitars; it was manufactured
from the viscera Of sheep. The membranes
Of similar animals are sometimes used for
the covering Of whips and such purposes,
but sheep still furnish the strings for music
al instruments. The process Of preparing
| is quite curious. The membranes are ordi-
| narily exposed to the power of burning sui
phur, and then slit and twisted into cords OF
| different sizes as wanted. Musical strings,
whip cords, hatters' cords, strings Of clocks,
| etc, are the chief uses on the list They
are then dyed, stretched on frames, and
| dried in very hot temperature

two men, and informed them, with mourn

fatal. and that she was dead. and he asket
the first husband whether he would tax,

Mother Shipton's Prophecy.

The Springfield Republican says: Every

some one has brought to light the prophecy
and memory of Mother Shipton. As event

thereof-"Fire and water shall wonders

This Mother Shipton was one that would
have taken high rank as medium IN our
day; in hers, the fifteenth century, she was
said to have been begotten, like the wizard
Merlin, of the phantasm Apollo, or some
aerial demon under that gulse, and beau
tiful orphan Y Yorkshire girl, named Agatha.
She had the weired, lonely girlhood that the
child of shame is apt to have, avoided or
prosecuted by those who should have been

the Abbot of Beverly, and grew up so &C.

notable events besides of the Reformation
and the reigns Of Elizabeth and James. AT
the age Of SO she foretold her DEATH and at
the hour predicted she died. Her name is
a popular tradition in Yorkshire even to
day, and the tradition is founded In part
upon fact Her famous prophecy was said
to have been published in her lifetime, and

Engineering Two Thousand Years Ago.

Perhaps some Of the most remarkable
remains Of ancient engineering are those
which were discovered by excavations made
some ten or twelve years since short
distance from Home and near the ruins Of
the ancient city Of Alatri- This city was
surrounded by massive walls, and located
on mountain or elevated point, and i'll
provided with water. About 150 ears be-
fore Christ. as we learn from . Roman in
scription, an immense acqueduct WAS built
to bring water from neighboring noun
tain better supplied with that element we
are furthermore told that this acqueduct
was $40 feet high, supported upon arches
and provided with strong pipes The topo-
graphy of the country, moreover. assure US
that the water supply could not have been
conducted into the city. even over such
high supports, except by pipes-an lnveri-
ed syphon-the lowest point Of which must
have been some $40 feet below the point OF
| delivery. or under pressure Of at least ten
a,mospheres. The excavations already aiiud-
ed to show that the acqueduct must have
been Of large size. as the piers OF the
arches are not less than FIVE feet nine inches
in breadth, while the total length OF ine
syphon must have been between four and
FIVE miles The question naturally arises
how and of what material was this sypnor
built. As iron pipes of large dimensions

or wood work for the material Of such con

Welded LOVE.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

And if the husband orthe wife
In homes strong life discovers
Such slight defaults as 1allto 10 meet
The blinded eyes Of lovers,
Why ne d we care to ask? Who dreams,
W ithout their thorns, of roses,
Or wonders that the truest steel
The readiest spark discloses
For still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living,
Love scarce is that never knows
The sweetness Of forgiving.

A physician says that the cry for rest has
always been louder than the cry for food.
Not that it is more important. but it is Oft
en- harder to obtain. The best rest comes
from sound sleep. OF two men or women.
otherwise equal the one who sleeps the best
will be the most healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability Of temper,
peevishness, uneasiness. II will restore to
vigor an ovcrworked brain. 1t will build
up and make strong a weak body 1t will
cure a headache. 1t will cure broken
spirit It will cure sorrow. Indeed, we
might make long list Of nervous and other
malades that sleep will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires clean, good bel,
sufficient exercise to produce weariness,
peasan, occupation, good air, and not too
warm a room clear conscience, and avoid
ance Of stimulants and narcotics. For those
who are overworked haggard and nervous,
| who pass sleepless nights, We commend the
adoption Of such habits as shall secure sleep;
otherwise, life will be short. and what there
is Of it, sally imperfect.
