Medieval Belief in Miracles.

1t is not easy for a modern Protest
ant, still less for any one who has the
least tincture of scientific culture,
whether physical or historical, to pic
ture 10 himself the state Of mind of a
man Of the Ninth century, however
cultivated, enlightened'and sincere he
may have been. His deepest convic-
tons, his most cherished hopes, were
bound up in the belief of the miracu-
lous. Life was a constant battle be-
tween saints and demons for the pos
session Of the souls OF men. The most
superstilious among our modern coun.
trymen turn 10 supernatural agencies
only when natural causes seem in
sufficient; To Eginhard and his friends
the supernatural was the rule, and the
suiliciency of natural causes was al
lowed only when there was nothing
% suggest UtlIgrs.
Moreover, il must be rccollectcd
that the possession Of miacle work.
ing relics was greatly coveted, not
only GA high but on very low grounds.
To a man like Eginhard, the mere
satisfaction Of n religious sentiment
was obviously powerful attraction.
But, moro tuun this, the possession Of
such a Treasure was an immense prac-
teal advantage. Ii the saints were
duly battered and worshiprd, there
was no telling what benefits might re-
suit from their inlerpDsition in your
behalf, For physical evils, access 30
the shrine wa, like the grant Of the
use Of a universal pill and ointment
mandatory and pilgrimagcs there
10 might suffice 10 cleanse the per-
formers from any amount Of sin

The Queens Closed Rooms.

When Queen Victoria dies the nu.
merous suites Of rooms now closed in
the royal palace will probably be re.
Opered for occupancy. The queen
has a strong penchant for closing
rooms once used by her friends, The
apartments in Clarcmont in which
the Princess Charlotte died more than
seventy years ago are vigorously
closed. Prince Albert apartments at
Windsor, Osborne and Balmoral are
all kept precisely as they We're when
he was alive. The duchess of kent's
rooms at FrOgmore are also shut up,
which renders that abode absolutely
useless, rs they are the best in the
house. The queen has also kept John
Browns rooms at Windsor entirely
closed since thedeath of that domestic.
