day and left three quarters of an hour
later for Denver, via the Northwestern,

turers. further enhance this missionary
palace.
In charge of the chapel are the Rev.
aud Mrs. E. G. Wheeler, Oregon evan
gellsts. and it is their intention to make
the Pacific coast their field of operation.
Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Cali
fornia will be their objective states.
The regular routine of the sanctuary
is to be followed at every stopping place.
Sermons. Sunday school and song serv-
ices and prayer meetings will be COM
bined. Where possible. churches will
be organized and left as evidences of the
chapel's work. In addition to the evan

Fun Mt the Table.

A man read in paper that the family
table should always be the scene OF
laughter and merriment and that no
meal should be passed in the moody 81
lence that SO often characterizes those
occasions. The idea struck him so ia
vorably that when his family was gath
cred around the table that evening he
said:
Now, this sort of thing of keeping so
mum at meals has got to stop. You hear
me? You girls put i'll an tell stories an
keep up some agreeable sort o. talk, an
you boys laugh an be jolly, or I'll take
an dust your jackets with stick tillyou
can't stand. Now, begin"
The glare that he sent around the table
made the family as funny as funeral
Tit-Bits.

Tho Yearly Income of n presIllent

There is n general idea that the presi-
dents salary of $50, 900 year is all that
he receives, and that, when compared
with the salaries paid the sovereigns of
Europe, the sum is not enough This is
mistake. In addition to his salary,
the president receives S36, OG4 to pay the
salaries of his clerks and subordinates.
His private secretary has $3.50; his as
sistant secretary, $3.50; the stenog-
rapher gets $500; each of five messen-
gers. $1,000: the steward, 81 800; each of
the two doorkeepers, 81 200. while other
employees are paid in proportion down
to the man who takes care of the fires.
who receives SSG4.
In addition SIS, 900 are allowed for Incl
dentals, such as stationery and carpets;
$4,000 for repairs and refurnishing Sc
500 for fuel; 81, 600 for the greenhouse.
and $4,000 for the stable, gas and other

In former days the queen herself was
fond of gardening. Each of her children
had little plot of ground to cultivate.
and these tiny gardens are even now

ing her flowers at Osborne with water
ing pot and rake in hand. when Mario.

his way to sing in the palace at the com
mand of the queen. and being delighted
with the garden had sent his carriage
ahead and was walking alone. Sudden
ly he came upon the lady with the water
ing pot. Would you be so good as to

A Visit to Xyntcrloo.

M. Jules Claretie. the administrator of
the Coincide Franchise, paid visit
shortly before his arrival in London to
the battlefield of Waterloo. TWAS rs
years ago that the battle was fought, vet
Nj. Claretie was still able to CLEAN some
thing in the locality from actual eyo
witnesses of that mighty historic event.
In the little wineshop called tho Belle
Alliance where Wellington and Bluch-
er, according to an inscription, met and
saluted after their victory, he found two
old women engaged in darning stock
lnSs. They appeared to take very little
notice of the strangers, but on being
questioned the elder of the two declared
that she was over 90 years of age. 81

on Sunday they fought. 1t was just
after my first communion and on the
day of St Donnat, IL saint in whose honor
there is pilgrimage in the neighbour
hood. When all was over, we went out
and saw dead bodies everywhere. At
night after the battle there was storm.
The bodies became swollen through the
rain, and there were fears of q pestilence.
They were buried in heaps. with dry
