Enlarging tho Abbey.

Kings and poets have had their
burial in Westminster Abbey. Long
before the Reformation, the church
was not only royal burial-place,
but had seen coronations. royal wed /.
dings and christenings. Edmund
Spencer was the first poet whose
burial in the abbey was distinctly "a
tribute to his fame.
Although Chaucer had preceded
him, 1t was rather as clerk OF the
royal works that he was given such
high distinction. After that, Eng
land continued to allot places there to
all whom she delighted to honor, but
she will soon be in the embarrassing
position of having no more space to
offer.
A hundred years ago, a French
writer made the statement that The
people are not more crowded In the
streets OF London than are the frn-
eral monuments in the Abbey"
About the same time, mock
petition from posterity" appeared
In one OF the newspapers, urging the
country to provide space for the
coming generations of distinguished
men. Year after year the overcrowd-
ing has continued, until now there is
almost no space for added memorials,
and room for but few burials.
A royal commission was some time
ago appointed to consider the question
Of making an addition 10 the Abbey.

gestion which is universally accept.

church, in the minds OF all English
speaking people, that IL can scarcely
be altered or enlarged without Of

DIAL she keeps silent; but her tears and
wrongs have gone into record that
you will have TO meet as certainly as
Pharaoh had to meet hail, and light

gave to any man the right to tyrannize
a woman, and what a sneak you are to
take advantage of the marriage vow

and under the shelter of your own
home out-Pharaoh the Egyptian OPP
pressor. There is something awfully
wrong in household where the woman
is not considered of as much import
ance as the man. No room in this
world for any more Pharaohs!
But it rolls over on me with great
power the thought that we have all
been slaves down in Egypt, and sin has
been our taskmaster, and again and
again we have felt its lash. But Christ
has been our Moses to lead us out of
bondage, and we are forever free. The
Red sea of a Saviour's sacrifice rolls
deep and wide between us and our
aforetime bondage. and though there
may be deserts yet for us to cross we
are on the way TO the promised land.
Thanks be unto God for this
emancipating gospel! Come up
out of Egypt all ye who are yet en-
shaved. What Christ did for rs he will
do for you. "Exodus" is the word.
Exodus! Instead of the brick-kilns of
Egypt come into the emPurpled vine
yards of God, where one cluster of
grapes is bigger than the one that the
spies brought to the Israelites by the
brook Eshcol, though that cluster was
SO large that it was born between
two upon staff"
Welcome all by sin oppressed,
Welcome TO his sacred rest;
Nothing brought him from above
Nothing but redeeming love.

The Wonderful Number of Pollen Grains
In n Single Flower
The immense number of pollen
grains produced by single flower
apparently initiates against the say
ing that nature allows nothing TO be
formed but what is needful 1t seems.
indeed, vast waste of material to
have such multitude of grains when
so very few would answer the same
purpose. In single flower of the
peony there are about three and half
million grains; a isower OF the dande-
lion is estimated TO produce nearly tive
hundred and fifty thousand; the num-
Der of ovules in flower OF the Chi
nese wistaria has been counted and tho
number OF pollen grains estimated. and
1t is found that for each ovule there
are seven thousand grains While
few fall below the thousand, many rise
far above the peony in point OF num-
bera These arc the wind-fertiliZed
flowers, and here nature must provide
for an immense loss OF material OAR

RAPID changes have recently been
going on in the development of high
grade explosive Greater force has
been condensed inso less space and
methods of exploding are being i'm
proved upon. Besides this, the use
of explosives is being increased by a
more general application. Unfor-
tunately, laws and ordinances are not
provided to meet this rapidly chang
ing condition Of things. Explosives
especially oil products are handled
with great earelessness. Sooner or

not submit to the operation of just

Of public policy rather than Of pri-
