But this kitchen in Windsor castle has a

Sor castle kitchen number many hundred,
whose only hope is that Edward VII will
treat them with as much consideration
as his gentle mother.
The queens deepest interest, however.
was always in the training of her children
and today she looks as carefully after her
grandchildren, continually asking about
their studies and work, and throwing out
many valuable suggestions. 1t is possible
that no children in the present day have
been so carefully educated. The queen
is not only one of the most accomplished
of the royal ladies of Europe, but she is
more naturally gifted and highly intellec-
tual than almost any who could be named
among them. For many years she de-
voted herself almost entirely to the super
vision of her children's studies, and this
supervision has been no nominal one.
Before intrusting any branch of the young
princesses' education TO new teacher,
the queen personally inquiries into the
method of tuition and satisfies herself
that the children's time would be well
spent; she has always insisted that such
''Out-of-Sight' subjects as history and lit
erature should receive more attention
than even art or music.
And thus she is nearing her end,

NAPOLEON AT THE BRIDGE AT AR

The first stand Of the enemy was made

connects the high bikes which regulate
the sluggish stream of the little River

left bank. This bridge was defended by
two battalions of Croatian recruits,
whose commander. Colonel Brigido, had
placed a pair of field pieces so as to en-

what is to Become of the Heatben

In Charlestown, eight clergymen were
interviewed, representing the Methodist,
Baptist, Episcopal, Unitarian, Presbyter-
ian, Hebrew and Roman Catholic
churches. The question asked was What
is the fate of the heather after death p,
Methodist, Episcopal Unitarian, Catholic
and Jew express the opinion as pro-
mulgated by the late Pope Plus TX, that
those VINO are invincibly ignorant of the
truths revealed by Christ or of the teach
ings of the true church, and who faith
fully observe the divine natural law aided
by the light of reason and the grace of
God may be saved. A Scotch Presbyter-
ian minister, on the other hand, expresses
the opinion that all who die without con-
version, heather of Christian, are equally
damned Another Presbyterian pastor
thinks that the heather will be judged
by their own consciences, but doubts
their salvation, unless converted, while
a Baptist minister asserts that there is
no salvation out of Christ, and that God
has done enough to leave the heather
without excuse.

TALES FROM THE GREEK.
Diogenes Could Put n Little Tart

A man was seen standing in front of
the tub of Diogenes talking earnestly
with the philosopher and very shortly
went away. A half hour later a friend
met Diogenes some distance from his
tub.

bill for $4.75 for the last month and I
want to find out when they put a me-

On another occasion a friend met
Diogenes going toward the capitol
with only a staff in his hand.
"Ah, old man." he said to the phil

AN AFRICAN DANCE.

The dances consisted chiefly of rows of
men in line, holding their knobkerries up
right in one hand, and slowly lifting each
foot alternately as high as possible, and
bringing it down fiat on the sole with
thump that made ones own soles ache to
see it. This was accompanied by mon
otonous chant of some eight or ten notes
repeated endlessly with the same words.

The so-called devotional duty of the
Bible is too frequently a lazy excuse for
not studying at all. We do not like to
leave our Bibles too long unopened, we do
not feel like any mental effort, and so we
saw. 1--WE will read devotionally." Per-
haps that kind of reading is better than
none, but we cannot say more of it than
that. We do not honor God or his revel-
alton by using less effort to comprehend
the Bible than newspaper. True devo-
tional study is not a kind of study by
itself. but the crown and glory of all
study. 1t is not the beginning, but the
end. Exact, scientific, critical study IS
the necessary basis of all true devotional
study. When we have learned precisely
what Amos meant to the people of Israel
about 500 B. c., then, and not until then,
can we know fully what he means to US
and our classes.-Dr. w. Batten, in the

Changing the Sabbath.

Every Lords day testifies of Christ's
resurrection Doubtless the chief pur-
pose in changing the weekly rest from the
seventh to the first day of the week was
to set before the world in this objective
manner and to secure through all time
the commemoration of that central fact
of our faith. That change was a trenen-
dous revolution in the religious life and
thought of the Jewish founders of Chris
tianity. Recall the intensity of their
regard for the Sabbath-so great that
they would permit themselves 10 be
slaughtered by enemies rather than vio-
late it by self-defense. And you viii see
with what overmastering strength any
fact must have laid hold upon them in
order to drag out from their breasts the
love and honoring of the old Sabbath OF
Moses. What fact did this? The rising
of the Divine Master from the tomb OF
Joseph. This fact grasped their being
with a power greater than any other
that had held them; this filled their souls
so completely that it left no room even
for the Mosaic Sabbath. The primitive
substitution of the Lords day for the
Sabbath is one of the strongest proofs
of the disciples faith in Christs resur-
rection. The continuous observance or
this day is an institutional monument or
Christ's resurrection. Why should it be
thought incredible with US, who observe
this Lords day, which commentaries

Christ's Resurrection.

The evidence of Christ's resurrection,
though founded on testimony which ap-
peals to faith rather than sight, is suf-
ficient for faith to rest on, and therefore
leaves all unbelievers without excuse.
Let them but examine the testimony,
humbly and impartially, and they cannot
fail to be convinced. This remark IS
true applied to any of the great doctrines
of the Bible 1t has been proved over and
over again that where the truth of God
is honored with fair investigation it dis
arms prejudice and begets conviction:
Man is endowed with the power Of
Thought. and the possession of this power
imposes upon him the obligation Of
thought, the duty to think, and to think
for himself upon the great themes Of
Revelation; to investigate the testimony
whereby they are substantiated, SO mat

clusions in relation to them.-The Chris
