tlresome. There are churches without end

places and under the most unlikely guise.
Passing along the street your attention is
called by guide to a church. You look,
and the entrance seems TO be that of a barn,
stable. anything, in fact but building
cOnsecrated to religious purposes. The rea-
son OF this is found in the fact that all sorts
OF buildings were, in past times. conse-
Grated as churches or chapels. When
crimes were committed the rooms or build
ings were sometimes consecrated as an ex-
piation. Where noble deeds were done
chapels were erected to mark the spot.
Rooms in which prominent men died, rooms
in which great and good men lived, were
often thus changed in their use. and so it
happens that Florence is full of churches.
But the noblest of all is the Duomo or
Cathedral, in some respects the grandest
church in the world and esteemed by many
critics as superior even to st. Peters in
Rome, Begun in 1898, it was not completed

Heroic Treatment When a Big Girl Re.
fused TO Learn Her Lesson.
A Maine boy, who is now professor in
one Of cur New England colleges, used to
teach town schools while fitting himself for
his university course, says the Lewiston
Journal. Seated opposite TO him on a rail-
way train a while ago he related to me
some Of his early experience in teaching the
youthful idea. One Swapping, great girl, a
woman grown, caused him considerable
trouble because of her Indifference to the
beauties of education in general and 'goger-
fry in particular, for which neglect he
caused her to put in considerable time after
school in making up.
1t reached the teachers ears one day that
this maid had declared to an admiring group
that she would not have her lesson on that
afternoon, and that if the teacher kept her
after school he would have the privilege of
sitting up one night with her at any rate be-
fore she would make the lesson up. This
idea caused much excitement among the
teachers discontinue.
According to the programme the young
lady's lesson that afternoon was complete
failure, and she was told to make 1t up after
school. When the session ended the other
pupils fingered about with an air of expect
aney TO see the outcome OF matters.
The teacher politely showed them out Of
the room, however and then went in and
shut the door, There sat the damsel with her
arms defiantly folded and the book closed on
the desk before her. The pedagogue cor
daily invited her to open the book and be-
gin operations. but this had 10 effect what
