our paper full of "poetry." Good
ideas can be better expressed in good
plain prose than in labored verses.

THE MADISON CONVOCATION.
Interesting Services held It Mineral
Point on Jan. 9TH and 9Th.

Point on Jan. 18th and 9Th.

eral clergy of the Conyocation were
Kindred from attendance by sickness
and parish duties.
The first service was Oh Tuesday
afternoon at 4:30. After short de-
votional exercises the Rev. James
Slideu gave an address on "The
Church as a Teaching Body" Arch
Deacon Weber followed with an
address on the missionary work in the
diocese.
AT 7:30 o'clock, after evening prayer
the Bishop preached an earnest and
most interesting sermon on "The un-
shaken things of God," showing that
among all the mutations of time, there
are enduring principles and institutions
that do not change; among these are,
the Church of Christ, it's creeds, its
ministry, its sacraments, and its Bible.
An informal but very enjoyable re-
ception was held at the rectory after
the service.
On Wednesday morning the holy
communion was celebrated at 7:3OI
o'clock.
At 1870 a. n. morning prayer was
said, and Arch Deacon Webber

the Joys of Christianity as exempli-
fed in the lessons of the Epiphany
season." After service the clergy took

of the convention was dispatched. The
reports Of the secretary and treasurer
were read, and short statements made
by the several clergy and the lay dep
uty from Belmont on the work in the
respective parishes and missions. A
resolution was adopted expressing the
regret of the conVocation on the pros
pective removal of the Rev. James
Slidell from the convocation, to take
charge of st. Johns parish, Milwau-
kee, and appreciation of his earnest
and faithful services as an active and
member of the convocation.
at $3.50 p. m. a paper was read by
Rev. G. T. Susan, on " What men can

and children's work was also touched
upon.
AT 7:30 p. m. missionary meeting
was held, consisting of short devo-
tional exercises, hymns; and addresses
on the general missionary work of the
Church, by Revs. A. II. Darlington, M.
Damer, and Dean Royce. This service
closed the meetings of the convo-
cation.
Although the meetings were very
enjoyable generally, yet there was a
shadow cast over them by the receipt
of kilograms, by the Bishop Oh Tues
day, announcing the sudden death of a
brother at Baltimore, and by the Arch
Deacon on Wednesday, bringing the
same sad tidings concerning brother
Of his at st. Louis.

Mind Your Manners.

When Jonathan Scoville willed sos. coo
to the Buffalo Academy Of Fine Arts he
meant it, He hoped it would help Bnf
falo to put ON airs like metropolis ami
point with pride to the fine art and hign
art she had secured by the aid Of iona
than Scoville Mr.. Scoville was further
so interested in his pet that he sent to il
last january a New Years gift of sew.
eral valuable pieces Of statuary. OF
course after that his name would be in
the papers and letter engrossed in the
highest style of fine art by professional
letter writer would at the very least be
voted to him by the directors Of the
aesthetic establishment which he meant
to remember so munifcentlys In his will

of acknowledgment. Not so much
thankfulness as If he had thrown to a
poor dog bone. Then Mr.. Scoville
turned in secret to his lawyer and
whereased that he had not been treated
with common decency and therefored
that he would revoke the gift to the
academy Which he did High art and
aesthetics ought to have an influence on
the manners certainly, but they do not
appear to have had it in this case. The
moral to the story is that the smallest
service done to you is worth thanks,
and thanks in the most graceful man
ner you can command The neglect of
gracious small courtesies make many a
home miserable today. Therefore mind
your manners Be polite to millionaires
and to bootblacks Be polite even t.

Uses for Rich Men

The time seems rapidly approaching
when the only admissible reason q man
can give for desiring to be rich win be
to gain the privilege,of doing something
for his fellow men. This appears to be
the best use to which man Of great
wealth can be put, in the Judgment Of
the community, and the only excuse for
allowing him to exist.
| Millionaires themselves are beginning
to realize this and are preparing to face
public opinion accordingly. The late
Samuel J. Tilden saw the modern drift
and left munifcent fund, part Of which
will yet be used as he wished. to consti-
tute the Tilden free library. Wiser than
Tilden, Andrew Carnegie has in his life
time bestowed some of his millions where
they will benefit ALL He has among
other things given Pittsburg its library,
with the magnificent endowment which
provides an income of $4,000 year.
He has also built the Carnegie laboratory
in New York city, which in time will
probably head the world In the field of
microscopic investigation.
James Lick gave to California the
finest telescope in the world. Leland
Stanford gave to the same fortunate
state Stanford university. James B.
Colgate gave million dollars to Colgate
university, and Reuben Springer and
other citizens bestowed on Cincinnati its
beautiful and perfectly equipped art
museum.
Oh, mol Rich men are not so bad af.
ter all, when they are public spirited,
and do not gain their wealth by grind
ing off the noses of the poor.

Form and Color Of the Voice.

Mrs. Watts Hughes, of England, has
invented an instrument called the s.eido-
phon," which shows, so to speak, the
shape Of the human voice. You sing
into the eidophon and your voice vibra-
tions are copied upon an exceedingly deli.
cate surface. The pictures Of these yibra-
tons that have come to.us on this side 81
the Atlantic resemble, as truth compels
one to say, the figure of half tolerably
fair shaped oyster shell. Maybe it is
owing to the fact that mankind has been
swallowing this delicious bivalve SC
many centuries. Even before recorded
history there were pan roasts.
More interesting still, perhaps, is the
study OF the color of various sounds.
That is to say, certain persons are SC
sensitively organized that when sound
suddenly bursts near them glimpse Of
this color or that suddenly flashes before
their eyes. Thus, if a young man was
behind with his board bill and sat In his
room peacefully smoking and dreaming
- ASAAS NOAAGhbo, tSAu LIS 4dHulduJ
should all at once break into his privacy
and his dreamswith a demand that he
pay up or get out, the emotion Of right
eous wrath on her part would most
likely give to her voice tone color that
would paint things red before the youths
eyes.
Sir /. Newton thought that light pro-
duced on the eye an effect similar to
that made by sound ON the ear, and
therefore sensitive nervous organizations
perceived colors from sounds. OF the
colors Of different sounds the following
table has been nader
Wind instruments - Trombone, deep red;
trumpet, scarlet; clarinet, orange: oboe. yell
iow; bassoon talto). deep yellow: flute. sky
