common sense. but the introduction OF

the utilization Of that knowledge o!

had long ago known. Feathers are ex
oeedingly warm. and a covering made OF

Strange Gods Of Ignorant People.

There is a sect in Orissa, in the Bengal
presidency, who worship Queen Victoria
as their chief divinity. Colonel Graham
discovered that her majesty was also an
object of worship in the temple of the
Phodonga-LamaA at Tumlong, in Thibet.
A sect in the Punjab worshiped a deity
whom they called Nikkal Sen. This
Nikkal Sen was no other than the re-
doubted General Nicholson. and nothing
that the general could do or say.damped
the enthusiasm Of his adorers. NJ. du
Chaillu tells that some of the African
savages looked upon him as a superior
being, and the South Sea islanders wor-
shipped Captain Cook as a deity. Even
when they had killed him and cut him
into small pieces the inhabitants Of Owhy-
hee fully expected him to reappear and
frequently asked what he would do t.
them on his return. Lander, in his Niger
expedition, says that in most African
towns and villages he was treated as a
demigod. Lord John Lawrence has been
worshiped among the Sikhs in northwest
lndia.-Boston Globe.

The Author Of "Gul1ivef."

Between TIA and 1926, for a dozen
years, Swift remained in Ireland, with
ont intermission, altogether apart from
public life. At the latter date he went
to London. probably needing q change
of scene after the shock of Miss Van
komrigh's death and the grievous sense
he must have had that it was he who
had killed her, and it was then that
'Gulliver" was published. The latter
portions of it. which the children have
rejected. we are glad to have no space to
dwell upon. The bitterness, passion and
misery of them are beyond parallel. One
would like to have any ground for be-
lieving that the Houyhnhms and the rest
came into being after Stella's death, but
this was not the case. She was only a
woman and was not, after all. of such
vital importance in the mans existence.
Withdrawal from the life he loved,
confinement in a narrow sphere, the dis
APPOINTMENT of a soul which felt itself
born for greatness and had tasted the
high excitements Of power, but now had
nothing to do but fight over the choir
with his archbishop and give occasion
for a hundred anecdotes in the Dublin
| coter;es. had matured the angry passion
in him and soured the sweetness Of n a
ture. Few people now. when they take
mp their ..Gulliver." go beyond Brob-
| dinonag. The rest is like IA succession of
bad dreams. the confused miseries of d
| fever. To think that in a deanery. that
| calm seat of ecclesiastical luxury, with
in sound of the cathedral bells and the
choristers' chants. a brain so dark and
| distracted and dreams so terrible should
have found shelter,-Mrs. Oliphsnt in

Visit to Waterloo.

NJ. Jules Claretie. the administrator OF
the Coincide Franchise. paid a visit
shortly before his arrival in London tc
the battlefield of Waterloo. 1t was 70
years ago that the battle was fought, yet
NJ. Claretie was still able to CLEAN some
thing in the locality from actual eye
witnesses Of that mighty historic event.
In the little wineshop called the Belle
Alliance where Wellington and Bluch-
er, according y an inscription, met and
saluted after their victory, he found two
old women engaged in darning stock

notice of the strangers, but on being
questioned the elder of the two declared
that she was over 90 years of age. ii

is done on the ditch this fall should be
sufficient to supply water for every acre

by somebody, either for present use or
future worth. and IN the latter calcu-
lation particularly. the ditch figures as

Overheard by the Train Boy.

The train on the Fitchburg railway

the young New England bridegroom

subsequent sounds. chicago Tribune.

decoction with which he anointed the
handle of . stick with wi ich the king
~as in the habit of playing a game at
ball. to the end that when the a hand
perspired in the vigor Of the play the
open pores might receive the medica-
ment.
The translator speaks of this stick as a
'golfstick" tsic), but it is plain from the
context that the game was played Cd
horseback. It was, in fact. polo. In
deed the illustrations Of the very same
edition show the said king playing the
game on horseback .-Blackwood's Maya

day and left three quarters of an hour
later for Denver. via the Northwestern.
in the special Baptist train from Boston.
As the title would indicate. the car i;
used for disseminating the gospel among
railroad men whose limited time pre-
cludes them from church attendance.
The car is the second one built for this
purpose. the first. the ''Evangel,' having
been designed by John d. Rockefeller.
and by him and his associates presented
to the American Baptist National asso-
citation. The new car is 20 feet long and
10 wide. with a seating capacity of 100.
1t embraces a chapel room, study and
sleeping and dining apartments. The
interior is beautifully finished in antique
oak. A handsome lecturn and costly
organ. both the gifts of the manufac-
rurers, further enhance this missionary
palace.
In charge of the chapel are the Rev.
and Mrs. E. G. Wheeler, Oregon evan
gelists. 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 viii.
be organized and left as evidences of the
chapel's work. In addition to the evan
gelical work thus described the a will
in due time contain q complete library

matter Of keeping the Americas cup on
thisside the ocean.
The Jubilee has beaten the Volunteer,
but that is no indication that she can
5utsail the ColOnis or Vigilant. Indeed,
there is very strong impression down
here that one or the other OF the Bris-
tol boats will have the honor OF meet
ing the English yacht, but we are not
yet throwing up hats or figuring out the
number of minutes the Valkyrie will be
behind at the finish.
1t is respectfully suggested that
Boston bottle up its enthusiasm until
after the trial races, and if the Paine
boat comes out ahead Rhode Islanders
will be ready to shout for the cup
defender. In the meantime, however,
1t will be well to bear in mind the fact
that Bristors bid for the coveted honor
will be pretty high one.

pERpeTuArEp WITH PROFIT.

Mr.. Henry G. Clarke has revised his
offer to the city council, and now pro-
poses to erect on the Dexter training
field a statue of Ebenezer Knight Dex-
ter, instead of one of Columbus.
The change will be generally en-
dorsed. Mr.. Dexter was public bene-
factor, the value of whose gifts to the
city cannot be estimated ia mere dol
lars and cents.
That excellent institution on Hope
street which bears his name, and in
which so many of the deserving poor Of
the city are cared for. is Of itself last
ing testimonial to his great charity and
public spirit. 1t is fitting therefore
that some permanent monument to his
memory should be erected, and no more
fitting place could be found than on the
field which he gave the city.
1t Is to be hoped that the committe
will sec its way clear to recommend the
acceptance Of Mr.. Clarkes offer Public
benefactors are not so common that the
memory Of their lives and good works
cannot be perpetuated with profit.

As the News is not in the bookselling

CAREFUL THOUGHT NEEDED.

Brother Wanamaker, whose record
as postmaster-general has won for
him an enviable reputation, whose con-
nection with charitable objects has
linked his name with those Of the
worlds philanthropists, and whose
business success has made him prince
in the mercantile world, has particu-
larly difficult role in life to fill.
Politics. philanthrophy and wealth
are three somewhat diverse objects of
ambition, and furthermore, being NOR
tai and human, MIR. Wanamaker has
some trouble in courting all these ideals.
Either because of the cold wave or
the failure of the cable service in the
Quaker city. which failures occur reg
ularly every hour, Brother Wanamaker
grew facetious. He advertises the fol-
lowing:
Thoughts from Paris and our own best thoughts
have been sewed into muslin under wear--so
that II is not just like everybodyA
Perhaps the stait patrons of dry goods
stores in Philadelphia could stand the
quiet thoughts Of home centered in
their garments, but where frisky
thoughts from Paris are sewed up in
muslin and are allowed to carvort freely
with the sedate matrons and demure
maidens of the city of brotherly love,
the bounds of reserve are overstepped
and decorum is thrown to the winds.
Does Mr.. Wanamaker intend jest,
or does he really think that Partisan
thoughts are essential to the we'll being
and comfort Of the feminine sex2
Partisan gowns are indeed attractive,
and the desire for variety doubtless
inspired the idea of Partisan underwear.
But it was hardly necessary to sew
those foreign thoughts, fresh from the
giddy whirl of the Partisan capital, into
the underwear, and send them broad
cast into nm innocent community, like
Philadelphia.
Brother Wanamaker must bend his
effort at once toward the recall of
these thoughts, and they must be shipped
direct to Paris, under seal, or his repu-
tation for missionary zeal will rest
under the suspicion of being subject to
attacks by worldly motions.
