Two Questions ofLa1y.

Judge Hicks. in chambers, yesterday
heard the case of The City VS.. The Great
Northern Railway Company. There are
two questions of law to be determined.
The main one is-which corporation is
in duty bound to build the Como avenue
bridge when it is necessary; and the
second question-which corporation has
the right of way by dedication prior to
1870. The city claims it was highway
when the tracks were laid, and the rail-
way company claims that it was not. If
the city is right the railway company
must build the bridge and vice versa.

TOTALLY DESTROYED.
The Lake Harriet Pavilion Burned

oThe pavilion at Lake Harriet was to-

morning. The fire is believed to have
originated in the kitchen, and, as the
nearest fire engine had to travel over
two miles to reach the spot, had gained
such Roadway before the water
was turned upon it, that it
was impossible to save any
portion of the building. Robert Fltz-
gerald, one of the restaurant employees
who slept in the building, was bad
ly burned about the face and hands and
narrowly escaped being burned to
death, his feet having broken through
the burning floor in several places as he
ran through the dining room, The pa
vilion was the property of the street
railway company and was erected in
1888. The company had watchmen on
duty at the time of the fire, all of whom
agree that it was accidental and that it

Something About Coal.

1t makes the present generation smile
to read the accounts which have come
down to us concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained against
certain articles which are OF every day
consumption.
For instance, it is said that when coal
was first used in England the prejudice
against it was so strong that the house
of commons petitioned the king to pro-
hibit the use of the ''noxious" fuel
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, a commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood, to punish them by force for
the first ofense, and by the demolition
of their furnaces if they persisted in
transgressing. A law was finally passed
making it capital offense to burn coal
in the city. and only permitting it to be
used by forges in the vicinity 1t is
stated that among the records in the
tower of London a document was found
according to which man was hanged in
the time of Edward for no other crime
than having been caught burning coal
1t took three centuries to entirely efface
the prejudice.-Texas Siftings.

The Hand Kiss.

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly

from that of the lips, but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances in which the earth
the foot and the garments were kissed.
the hand and cheek succeeding in order
of time and approach to equality of
rank. But it is doubtful if that was the
actual order, and it is certain that at
the time when hand kissing began there
were less numerous gradations of rank
than at a later stage.
Kissing of the hands between men is
mentioned in the Old Testament, also
by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss
was applied reverentially to sacred OBJ
jects, such as statues of the gods, as is
shown by ancient works of art, and also
among numerous etymologies by that
of the Latin word ''adoro," and it was
also metaphorically applied by the in
ferior or worshiper kissing his own hand
and throwing the salute to the superior
or statue. Science Monthly.

Eastern Catholics are greatly aroused
over Archbishop Ryan's order against
Sunday funerals. The archbishop's or

habit of Interring the dead on the sab

Sunday funeral Is of late have not been

wages on the part of attending friends.
The opposition is taking the form of a
