The magnificent new building of Witten-
berg College will be dedicated June IL
with imposing ceremonies. Excursion rates
have been arranged on the railroads. and
the dedication will, no doubt, be attended
by thousands of persons. The new build
ing is one of the handsOmeSt architectural
structures in the city. The inside finishing
is now entirely complete, and the new Wit
tenberg is a reality. The main building is
1872 by 66 feet The distance from the
entrance, through the chapel, is 1l3 feet
There are three floors. The basement con-
tans recitation room and a labratory. On
the first floor are the presidents room, re
ceptiOn room. library, reading rooms and
the chapel. On the second floor are recita-
ton rooms. On the third floor are the literary
society halls and additional recitation
rooms. All the apartments are models Of
convenience and are handsomely finished
! in the most approved modern style. The
ceilings of the various rooms are II feet
high, and those of the basement 10 feet
/ high. The literary society halls are espe-
cially handsome. The building as a whole,
with the lofty tower ampitheater-s
chapel with gothic windows, standing in its
commandieg position makes a noble ap-
/ pearance, and its form reminds one of the
architecture of some of the ancient castles
on the banks of the stOried Rhine.
/ The possession of the new building will,
in all probability, give Wittenberg College
decided boom. Parents would sooner
send their Sons to a college which possesses
magnificent buildings than to one whose
buildings look like brick and mortar store
boxes. Then the large amount Of money
which prominent citizens of Springfield
have contributed to the building of the new
Wittenberg, augers well for the esteem in
which the college is held in Springfield.
The dedication of the college will be
made a great event Prominent English
Lutherans from all parts of the country
will attend. and thousands of citizens of
this city will desire to attend.

Once more, and, last of all, the power
of good life is that the great secret of
all peace is wrapped up in it. Peace is
the cessation of conflict, the passing
away of discord. 1t is harmony within
and without. The deepest, holiest
peace comes not from our fulfilled de-
sires, but from those which we renounce.
The sweetest, serenest peace that souls
can feel, was that shed down upon
Gethsemane. "To crush out the little
temporal self, that the great, the divine
self may come" to renounce our own
will that the eternal Will may be done,
this is the coming on, the infiowing of
that peace which, we are told, passeth
understanding.

EARTHQUAKES IN NEW ENGLAND.

Apropos of the Charleston catastro-
phe, it comes to light that the peaceful
and iourishing State of Connecticut
was once the scene of extremely vio-
lent cOnvulsions of nature. According
to Professor Shaler, of Harvard Col
lege, who has made special study of
this subject, the State "teemed with
volcanoes which poured forth rivers of
lava, and the whole region was an in
ferno on earth" The chain of volca-
noes extended as far south as Virginia
and as far to the northeast as Nova
Scotia, bat Connecticut was the seat of
the greatest disturbance-Of more VIC
lent volcanic action than any other
region in North America. The good
people of the HOusatOnic and Connec-
tieut valleys, however, can console
themselves with the thought that these
mighty upheavals occurred about TO-
600 centuries ago.
Within the last few centuries New
England has experienced several earth
quakes of considerable severity. The
first occurred in 1855, the second in
1927, and the third in 1855. That in
1927 was followed by about 100 shocks,
extending over several years. The
center of the disturbance was in New
buryport, Mass, and the shocks were
of such violence that the rumbling
sound which accompanied them was
loud enough to rouse people from a
sound sleep. even after they had become
so used to the occurrences that they
thought little of them. The first shocks
were the most marked, those following
for months afterward gradually decreas-
ing in intensity. In 1855 Boston was
shaken to such an extent that people
| could keep their feet only with diff,
Guilty. Chimneys were knocked over
aud but for the fact that the houses
were low and of wood, the destruction
of property and loss of life would have
been great. A shock of equal severity
at the present day would carry death
and devastation in its path, owing to
\ the difference in the character of the
buildings in the cities of Eastern New
England.-Nel0 York Tribune.

utterly useless to those you love, living
in books, hardly knowing how to use
your own hands, and dreaming over
romantic plans which can have no real
ization. Trained only morally, you
might prove morbid being, thinking
of the life to come, and ignoring the
here and now but developed like the
strong, healthy, able bodied boy, your
mental and moral vigor will be the
more marked, and your spirits more
exuberant.
Miss Hardacre, in her comparative
estimate of mans and woman's brain
power, asserts that the larger brain ac-
companies the greater mental force.
But waste no fears over the size of
your brains, my dears. Doubtless
mans larger vitality gives him greater
breadth of comprehension, more weight
of mental force, and a more ponderous
power of logic; but give women and
girls the same superintendent vitality
and freedom from disease, and their
work will be distinguished by like
scope and solidity. Girls are each day
living more freely and sensibly, and
they will all one day become strong,
healthy and happy in proportion.
Do not fear then, my little friends,
growing too like boys, but rather cult
vate similar freedom of thought and
exercise. Do not be afraid Of outdoor
sports, Of the fresh air and genial sun
shine. All your future years are of
mere Importance than a lily fair COM
pleXiOn and dainty hands and feet. A
very dear, but foolish little maiden was
passionately fond of music, but feared
to take piano lessons because she ad-
mired pretty slender hands and taper
fingers, and knew that they were not
the mark of fine musicians. Chinese
fathers and mothers, from more fool
ish vanity, pinch their daughters feet
to the size of several inches, and allow
lengths, although they know they will
thereby suffer exquisite torture and be
rendered helpless. And it is question
of close calculation in every Chinese
family, as to whether they can afford
to so disfigure child, since, though it
be mark of beauty and aristocracy, it
is also source of great expense. Such
foolishness we commit for girls here in
America, in smaller ways, but less every
day. One day, by sensible living, you
will grow strong like your brothers, and
then you, too, will have the same bright
fearlessness, self-reliance and broad
generous spirit. Small back. billings
will give place to frank disapproval and
ultimate reconciliation unreasoning
impulse disappear before calm, sober
judgment, and narrow repinings will
be displaced by a spirit of noble en-
durance and hope. God speed the day
But meanwhile do not neglect the glo-
rious dover of girlhood which is yours
tenderness, self-sacrifce and devo-
ton; nor forget that your kindly deeds
and words are the sweeteners of life for
those about you, and for yourselves the
nourishers of affection and love.

DISCOVERY OF ROMAN RELICS.

An interesting discovery of Roman
remains has been made in deep cut
ting at the Chester gas-works. AT the
depth of twenty-three feet below the
surface a pig of Roman lead was dis
covered in state of excellent preserva-
tion. The inscription it bears along
the upper surface is as follows GIMP.
VEsP. AVG. V. T. IMP. Ill.," while on
the side is inscribed "DE CEANGIs." "
Its weight is 1919 pounds. The lead
was, therefore, tribute from the tribe
in North Wales known as the Ceangi,
and was cast during the fifth consulate
of the Emperor Vespasian, and the
third consulate of Titus-that is, in
A. d. "A. Many bones of men and
animals, fragments of Roman tiles and
pottery, and Roman coins of the time
of Vespasian and Titus, in good pres
ervatiOn, were found near.-LOndOn
