ditiOn to these valuable family relics Mrs.
Hallowell took occasion during several trips

has on q glass-covered table in her purlor, a
collection of curious pieces of old gold and Sill

pictures on the walls OF this mansion are by
the best artists and many Of them were painted
after suggestions made by Senator Mcmillan,
who desired IN each case TO see repeated some
thing he admired from the brush OF the artist.
In this way his pictures have personal inter-
est to him.

Hail, O blessed Easter morning,
Shout, We angels, with delight
"Biessed be thou, precious dawning,

Sing ye sons Of men, the story,
Strike the chords in loftiest strain
"Christ, our Lord. now reigns in glory,

Ringing down the tieeting ages,
Over mountain, plain and fen,
Echoed by the lips of sages:-
''Christ receiveth sinful men!"
Roll on, o majestic chorus,
Spread thy glories far and wide;
Bear this banner e'er be fore u.s.

From the Review Of Reviews
Hermann FOL. ore OF the most eminent Of
living embryo logists. while STAYING at Nice-the
mecca of honeymooning- his attention l.
tracted 20 the reserablances between Young
married couples. The popular notion that
married people lend by resembling each
other" was shared by Fol. but his trained vision
detected among crowds OF Young married
couples characteristics that led HIM 20 suppose
contrary proposition 10 be nearer the truth
they begin by resembling each other. To put
the matter to scientific test he engaged in .
series OF observations and researches on the
photographs Of Young and old married couples,
the results Of which he publishes in the RecWs
sc'entihg'e The following table gives his sta
tistical conclusions:

great difficulty in getting their mail
The train would arrive and the letter bag
reach the Office, but then there was long de-
lay. They laid it to the postmistress reading
the postal cards, which they insisted she did at
each mail
By and by one Of the girls came back TO Hart
ford and then she wrote her friends postal,
saying at the end:
II hope Miss - 1.-THE postmistressl viii
not take all the afternoon to read this postal

The friends were promptly at the post Office
and the mail came slowly, as usual but when
at last the postmistress laid down this postal

THE METHODIST UNIVERSITY.
It is possible that before the present season,
closes some steps will be taken toward Begin
ing the erection of the building of the new
Methodist University on the site selected west
OF the Tenleytown road. Bishop Hurst and his
assistant, Rev. DR.. Baldwin, are beginning to
see their way clear toward closing up their
canvass in this city for the money needed to
pay for the ground. They have already re-
ceived $780, 900 Of the s100, 900 required and
they expect in the next two or three weeks to
call upon those who have not already subscribed
for the balance. The response to the appeals
made have been generous, and Bishop Hurst
feels encouraged to believe that this part of the
preliminary work will soon be completed. Then
the Methodists throughout the country will be
informed that the citizens OF Washington
have shown their interest in the enterprise
by furnishing the funds for the pur-
chase OF handsome and commanding
site and through the stimulus of this example
as well % the appreciation on the part of the
IucsAoilbIS &cuefuAAS OI Tue 8r6dt importance OF
this undertaking, contributions vill come in
freely for the erection Of the building and for
endowment purposes. In the opinion Of
Rsh op Hurst the success Of the enterprise,
which was not doubted from the beginning, Is
now assured, and it IL probable that in the
courss OF few weeks Official announcement Of
that fact will be made.
