ENGLAND'S wALHALLA.
No American of English blood can ap-
proach Westminster Abbey without rover
ence and awe. Its extreme antiquity, it's
historical associations as the place where
so many sovereigns have been crowned and
inferred, and as the sepu lchre of Ensland's
warriors. statesmen. poets, philosophers,
orators and divines render it unique and
unaDproachable In interest among the
buildings OF the earth.
Westminster IS England's Walhalla her
temple OF fame, indissolnbly associated
with the greatest achievements and tri-
umphs of English history, literature. art
ana civilization. Were il not for it's men,

crowned within it's walls, the unfinished
towers were not completed till the last CEN
tury and meanwhile the building had been
so changed altered and restored that it
must be regarded as a growth rather than
construction. The Chapel of Henry VII
was restored in 1900. the Chapter House in
1865. and the North Transept was only COM
pleted in 1890 from designs by o living
changes and modern additions, the general
effect is one of extreme antiquity. though
this is not strange. for everything looks
old in London. The corroding smoke and
the perpetual humidity change all cOlors to
gray and obliterate the sharp. clear out
lines of the sculptors chisel.
The interior is If possible more gloomy
and dlngy than the exterior. The vast
columns of stone have the complexion OF
pig-iron and are roughly scaled and TAXED
as if with rust. Only crumbling vestiges
of ornamental traccries remain upon many
OF the graceful capitals and on the corbels
of the arches and the cusps and mullions or
the pointed windows. while from some OF
the recumbent etfigies upon the most an

appeared.

Remarks Concerning Disease Which IL

Many inquiries haya been made in regard
to b. bitu al drlnk ing of IN toxicating liquors
and the taking of drugs which have prim-
ariiy a stimulating effect and are followed
by nervous prostration or agitation. These
refer principally to<&te0h0fic drinks. To-

intoxicants hich hold m important place
in modern life. and Of these the first is in
the ascendancy.
Since the time that the Chinese edict for
bade the drinking of wines and the natives

stead of lamentations, alcohol has been q
part and parcel of the making or unmaking

something's wish which can be gratified,
1t seems. only by an intoxicating stimulant.
The victims are usually, when in q natural
state of mind, persons of active tempera-
ment and mentally we'll developed.
Once caught in the web which the alco-
hol spider wcaves, salvation lies In one d.

running away and never tempting fate
again. No one who has an appetite for
alcoholic drinks should ever touch them.
