One Of the sbest clergymen in Maine has
the habit of often making a pause of several
minutes IN the midst Of his remarks. This ia
seldom embarrassing to himself or his audi

something good enough TO justify the wait.
One sunday short time since he made an
exchange Of pulpits, and during his PRAYER he
made one of his accustomed pauses. The or
ganist had not perhaps been paying that strict
attention Which Organists in general are ac-
custOmed to pay. He had. no doubt, been
dreaming OF some symphony which has never
vet been vouchsafed to NOR: ais to interpret.
But the solemn silence reused him from his
reverie. He listened. The stiffness was gain
ing: the prayer was apparently done. His
hands sought the keys and music fl0ated upon
the ar. The congregation was somewhat
agitated, but not so the reverend gentleman.
He waited until the last strain died away.

Earthquakes.

At no time since 1861 has this
country felt such a shock as was felt
here on the night of August 81. At
this writing the exact spot where the
earthquake occurred has not been
located, but supposed to he in the
Atlantic ocean very near the city of
Charleston, S. G., as that city suffer
ed more than any other. Every house
in Charleston was damaged and at
least threc-fourths were rendered
untenantable The shock came with
out warning and many of the inhab-
itants were unable to escape from
the falling buildings. About so
were killed and over 1000 more or
less injured.
The earthquake of 1912. at which
time the famous Reelfoot lake, in
Obion county, was formed, caused
quite shock over this county and
did some damage at other points, but
owing to the fact that the country
was thinly settled at the time, the
damage to property was slight. The
shock of 1861 was more severe than
the recent one and was felt alike all
over the union but did no material
damage.

Literary Notes,

The Magazine Of American History for
September is both surprise and delight.
With the first opening of its beautiful pages
one is ushered into unique portrait gallery,
and makes or renews acquaintance with
long line of brilliant public characters. A
more entertaining contribution to magazine
literature than Mrs. Lambs illustrated
Chapter of Beginnings" it would be hard to
find. 1t is the history Of an old historic in
sttution important to the whole country, and
contains just precisely the information wan
ted by thousands Of intelligent readers in va
rious parts Of the land-it is graphic and
historical sketch never before presented so
concisely and effectively. The second article
of this number is thoughtful study into
"The Defects of our Constitution" by the
eminent writer, Judge John W. Johnston, of
Washington. In the third paper Hon. Hora-
ito King, a member'of President Buchanan's
cabinet, writes most readable paper on his
"tirst and Last Sight Of Abraham Lincoln;
which is followed by an intensely interesting
article by J. Algemon Peters, of New Or
leans, entitled "Pope Plus TX, and the Con-
federacy," the frontispiece of the magazine
being portrait of the great pontia. Then
comes a continuation of Gen. Lees valuable
war studies, "From Cedar Mountain to
Chantilly," one of the best accounts of that
campaign yet given to the reading public
"The Evolution of Canadian PARTIES" by
Watson Griffin; and "New England's Lost
City Found" a contribution as curious in fact
as it is surprising in character. In the Orig
nal Documents of the number may be found
the original letter Of Washingtons dentist, re.
ferring to "Washington's Last Tooth, an
item that has been running through the news
papers during the past month. The remark
able resources of this magazine are wonder
as well as pleasure to its large and rapidly
Increasing audience. The standing depart
ments Of the September issue overflow, as us
