Rev. DIR. Biggs, of Chilic0the, Elected
Pastor Emeritus.

The many friends of Rev. H. W..
Biggs, d. D., in this town and vi
entity will be interested in hearing of
the close of his pastorate of twenty
eight years in Chillicothe, O., where
he has endeared himself to the peo-
pie by acts of loving service, such as
many here have received from him
in days gone by.
His increasing weakness prevent
ed his performing the duties of a
pastor, and believing that the inter
ests of the church required it, he
presented his resignation.
The Chillicothe Daily Netcs,
says: "There has not for long
time been any church matter in
which the general public was so in
terested as that of the resignation of
Dr. Biggs from the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church. The
congregational meeting to consider
the subject was held last night We'd
nesday July 18th and all about the
streets men were asking what result
had been arrived at in the delibera-
tions."
At the meeting complimentary res
olutions were passed and the condi-
tions which had brought about DR..
Bigg's resignation were greatly de-
plored; but all felt that they must
acquiesce in the wisdom of his
course.
Some of the friends had united in
securing to the Doctor comfortable
support, but substitute was offered
to this in resolution to elect him
pastor emeritus, position involving
no care or responsibility, simply one
of honor. and to instruct the trustees
to pay him a salary of 81 900 per
year during his life in recognition
of their obligation toward him.
After some further discussion the
question was put to vote and the
substitute carried, DR.. Biggs being
elected pastor emeritus.

lola on English Novelists.


NJ. lola being asked lately by an English
interviewer which of the English novelists
were most appreciated in France, replied:
Dickens and Scott, without a doubt, and
for this very obvious reason: The novel in
France has always been more or less eman-
cipated, while the works of Dickens and
Scott can be put into the hands of any one,
which is more than can be said even for
the works of George Sand. Besides, Dick
ems is poet, great poet in many ways
He Is less English than most of your
writers, and that is why we understand
him better"
And Scott?" asked the interviewer
''Scottp answered Nj. lola, with an i'm
patient wave of his hand, ''litterature de
pensionnat. There is another reason for
Dickens success over here" he continued,
following up his train of thought. Our
opponents have taken him up to use him
as an argument against our conception of
realism, and at one time or reviews We're
flooded with articles ON Dickens Tolstoi
has been taken up in the same way, but
his success was never real, like that of
Dickens.
''Thackeray." NJ lola added, was deep
err than Dickens, but so difficult to under
stand-so English"
George Eliot, in Zola's opinion, had no
real knowledge of humanity. She gives
me the impression of never having been
outside her library door. She seems only
to know her humanity through books"

The Idea Of the suez Canal.

The plan of cutting through the Isthmus
of SueZ is said to have been mooted as early
as the Fifteenth century, when the Cape of
Good Hope had just been discovered by
VascO de CANA, and the Portuguese were
using that route to India. Plans were
drawn up, and men sent out to Egypt to
prepare for the work But the plan came
to naught. Christopher Marlowe, who
was born in the reign of King Edward VI,
in one of his works, says:
Thence marched into Egypt and Arabia,
And here, not far from Alexandria,
Whereat the terrene and the Red sea meet,
Being distant less than full a hundred leagues,
meant to cut a channel to them both,
That men might quickly sail to India.
The idea had evidently been no strange
one to the ancient Egyptians Although
they did not cut the isthmus entirely
through, they made certain canals, remains
of which are pointed out to this day.

Interesting Facts Relating to Sound.

The velocity of sound is accepted as 100
feet in a second, which is far inferior to
the velocity of light. Fogs will retard
sound, while water will carry it. Those
who have ever rowed upon a lake will re-
member how easily the sound of their
voices reached from boat to boat, and DR..
Hutton says that at Chelsea, on the
Thames, he heard person reading at a
distance of 140 feet. Some extraordinary
instances could be ded1ced of the enormous
distances sound is said to have travelled.
Guns have been heard eighty miles dis
tant, and the noise of battle between the
English and Dutch in 1872 was heard even
in Wales, a distance of 200 miles from the
scene of action I-l.~

LEAP YEAR.

traditions and Customs of That Undated
Heirloom-The Ladies' Year.
By an undated charter-an heirloom
handed down from generation to genera
tlon-leap year has the unique and special
privilege of being the Ladies' Year" One
man among thousand may be ignorant
OF this fact, but certainly not one woman
among so many. In the ordinary sort of
years men may propose and women dispose.
but whenever leap year comes around,
women have the right of both proposing
and disposing. Hence, in accordance with
an old rhyme. it should be remembered
that during this year
No man dares to say her nav.
Let woman ask him what she may.
For one whole twelvemonth such is the
license given to the fair sex in our own and
other countries, and, although it has been
more honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance, yet ladies may very Justly pride
themselves on the possession of a privilege
which for many centuries has been pener-
ally accepted as an article of our social
creed. curious allusion to this custom
occurs in an old work entitled "Courtship
Love and Matrimony," printed as far back
as the year 1906: albeit it is now become
9 part of the common law in regard to
social relations of life, that as often as
every bissextile year doth return, the ladies
lave the sole privilege of making love unto
the men, during the time it continuetb
which they do either by words or looks. as
to them it seemeth proper. And, moreover.
no man will be entitled to the benefit of
clergy who doth refuse to accept the offers
of lady, or who doth in anywise treat her
proposal with slight or contumely."
1t would appear that in wears gone nv
certain precautions were made for defend
ing woman's leap year privilege. Thus,
should young lady propose to a gentle
man and meet with negative answer
from him, the former, on exhibiting a
scarlet petticoat. could demand from the
latter present equivalent in value to the
dress she had on, however expensive the
material might happen to be. Country
tradition aflirms that in some mysterious
way the vegetable world is affected by
cap year influences, and among some of
che numerous items of agricultural folk
lore current in England. we are told how
all the peas and beans grow the wrong way
N their pods-that is, the seeds are set in
quite the contrary way to what they are in
other years.
In Belgium the peasantry maintain that
this year is not only too frequently unpro-
pitious for farming operations, but that
throughout it the young of no domestic
animal will thrive as at other times A
similar fatality, they argue, extends to
every kind of young grass and shoots,
which it is affirmed invariably become
either stunted in their growth or blighted
