Rev. Heber Newton for his published
views: Indignantly asks: ''What are the
grounds on which this Goliath presents
himself morning and evening before the

| off his head.
In Miles City, Montana, the Methodists
| believe in receiving contributions from
anybody, whether good or bad, who is dis
posed to give. They place contribution
boxes in the drinking saloons, and some of

The boxes become as full of money as the
| customers do of drink.

The Old BaronY church, Glasgow,so long
associated with the ministry of DR.. Nor
man Macleod, is becoming unsafe. So
threatening have the galleries grown that
it has been found necessary to discontinue
the evening services, which are largely at
tended. Some years ago DR.. Macleod used
to tell the people in the evening, ''Do not
be disturbed until you hear a crack"
1t would be wiser to leave the building be-
fore the final crack is heard.

A London clergyman is said to have
told his congregation that there was still
many one who, while engaged in sing

The last five survivors of the thirtythree
men who embarked in the Jeanette
arrived in New York last week. An in
| formal reception was given them at the
navy yard, at which Lieutenant Danen-
hover remarked, as they clinked their
| glasses, ''this is not much like the lunches
we used to have in the olden times, when
we used to spread an old Macintosh on
the ground and set kettle in the middle
of it. We had pemmican and bareback
then" The memory of their comrades was
drank in silence.
Washington Irving lies buried in the
church-yard at youngstown. LongfelloW
gave utterance to the following cadence:
Here lies the gentle h1morist, who died
| In the bright Indian summer of his fame!
| A simple stone, with but date and name,
Marks his secluded resting place beside
The river that he loved and glorihed.
Here in the autumn of his days he came,
But the dry leaves of life were all afame
| With tints that frightened and were multiplied,
How sweet life was his; how sweet dea.h!
Living to wing with mirth the weary hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave a memory like the breath
Of summers full of sunshine and of showers,
| 4 grief and glsdness in the atmosphere.
