Sixteenth Century Monks.

In all seasons alike the monks rose
from their beds at midnight and went
into cold church-think how terribly
cold it must have been in the depth Of
winter land there went through serv-
ice, or rather two services, mathis and
lauds, which were mostly sung and
lasted about 4 hours They then crept
back to bed again. At z a. m. they again
assembled in their church for prime,
and at it's close there was short meet
ing in the chapter house for the ordinary
business of the house, al specially its
discipline. After that one of the monks,
in priests orders, would, in his turn,
celebrate our lady's mass, while others
would be reading Or talking in the clois-
ter. At a. m. came tierce, which was
followed by high mass and sext. Dinner
time was, in the fourteenth century,
probably 1 / or II 80 o'clock, and dur
ing the meal some lesson would be read
aloud.
After dinner came nonee, and while
most of the monks were engaged in that
service the conversia, or lay brethren,
and the monks who had in their turn
served the others at dinner sat down to
their meal Then came short time set
apart, if desired, for sleep. which was
followed by active employment of diff
ferent kinds, by study or recreation
Vespers were sung at 8 P. m. Supper
was at and was followed by reading
from some book of edifcation. At z 80
came compline, and then at the breth-
rem went to the dormitory to sleep until
they were aroused for mathis. twas in
the intervals Of these stated studies that
the officers of Benedictine house trans
acted their manifold business and the
other brethren studied in the "carrells"
or wrote and illuminated in the Scripto-
rium.-Quarterly Review.

Folding Furniture.

Here is a remarkable scheme, being
the entire furniture of a bedroom, so
built that it can be folded into one small
package weighing $50 pounds. 1t can be
set up by any one in few minutes. 1t
contains no loose screws or intricate
parts which would puzzle one to ar
range. This suit consists of 8 foot 9
inch wardrobe, foot 8 inch dressing
chest, 3 foot inch washstand, two cane
seat chairs, 2 foot inch ottoman bed
stead on casters, bedding complete,
chamber service and mosquito curtains
if required. The whole of this extraor-
binary suit, forming the entire furni-
ture of comfortable bedroom. folds in
to itself, forming one package 6 feet By
Q feet inches, by feet inch, weight
about 400 pounds. No packing case is
required.
The scheme is the work of an English
manufacturer, and for that large class
of people who are on the constant move,
like gypsies, summer tourists or fat
jewellers, the idea is food for reflection.

The fruit merchant began toput them

"All righta," he said. "You go get

rhe Tcta of Mama sahih.

All historians leave in doubt the fate
Of Mana Sahib, leader Of the Indian
mutiny. He was never seen after the
battle of Singapore. Yet Captain Will
liam Brown of San Francisco, after 40
years, gives details Of the death Of Mana
and the burial of his ashes in the
Ganges.
Brown commanded the Ganges feet
and his vessel, the Benares, was attack
ed by Mana and large force. Brown
shot Mana and beat off the sepoys with
a loss of 20 men. When the battle was
over, he descended to his cabin and was
amazed to find there Mana Sahib dying
and his mistress Iona, both of whom
he knew personally. At the height of
the mutiny this woman had come to
him as an emissary from Mana and Of
fcred him q large sum to desert to the
native cause. At that time he promised
Mana if the rebel leader fell into his
hands he would give him his freedom,
or if dead, he would bestow proper fune-
raj honors upon his corpse. Mana now
reminded Brown of this promise and
soon expired.
That night the body was taken to the
shore by Brown and burned. The only
witnesses were Brown g servants, Amer
and Iona. When the fire blazed up,
Iona threw herself upon it and was
burned with the man she loved. That
same night the ashes of Mana were
taken to a point where the Gondra meets
the Ganges, and were buried in the holy
waters.
Captain Brown has documents sub
Stimulating this story, which was never
made public. The commonly received
impression has been that Mana commit
ted suicide. Louis Globe Democrat.

NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN.
Plan Of the Institution to Be Started In
Bronx Park.

Plan OF the INSTITUTION 10 DO SIarCeu III
Bronx Park.
Bronx park, in which the New York
botanical garden is to be established, is
about two miles in length and about
half a mile in width, contains 653 acres,
and extends along both sides Of the
Bronx river, from point about quar-
ter of mile south Of Williamsbridge
station, on the New York and Harlem
railroad, in a southerly direction to
West Farms. Under the act of incorpo-
ration the citizens forming the corpora
ton known as the New York Botanical
garden are obliged to raise sum Of not
less than $250,000 as an endowment
fund. When that sum is provided the
board Of commissioners of the depart
ment Of public parks is authorized and
directed to set apart portion of Bronx
park, not exceeding $50 acres, for the
purpose Of the botanical garden. Of the
$3.50, 900 required $3.50, 900 has already
been subscribed, and there is every pros
pect that the remaining $1,000 will
soon be raised. A committee of the Sci
entifc directors of the garden, who are
ex oficio members of the board of man.
ayers, is now engaged, in conjunction
with experts appointed by the park
board, in considering the question of To-
cation.
1t is proposed to show in the outdoor
department as great variety of plants
as will grow in this climate. They will
be selected on account of their beauty,
their uses and their general interest,
and will include collection of plants
arranged by botanical affiDities. There
will be an arboretum, in which all trees
that will endure our climate will be
grown. The arboretum will require a
large space, probably not less than 70
acres. Special attention can be given to
aquatic plants on account of the great
facilities afforded for this purpose by
the Bronx river.
Under the act of incorporation it is
provided that when the $3.50, 900 re-
ferred to shall have been raised the city
shall appropriate $500, 600 for the con-
struction and equipment of buildings.
There is to be building for botanical
museum, in which it will be sought to
collect specimens Of all the products of
plants. This building will contain also
laboratories, lecture rooms and an her
barium, which, it is hoped, will ulti-
mately contain specimens of all known
plants. There will BIO large number
of greenhouses Of various sizes, which
will contain growing plants in as great
variety as possible from warm and trop-
ical countries. These plants will be
grouped in the different houses. One
house will be devoted to palms, another
to orchids, third to ferns, a fourth to
cacti, and SO on. The garden will be
open in winter as well. as in summer.
The botanical museum will be equally
interesting at all seasons, and, with
winter scenes without, the greenhouses
will be especially attractiye.-New York

HEAVEN LOOKING ON.
TEXT OF DR.. TALMAGE'S FIRST SER
MON AT THE CAPITAL.

His Tribute to the Venerable DIR. Sunder-
lnnd-A Great Cloud of witnesses In the
Angelic Gallery While Every Christian
Fights His Lion In the Arena.
WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Those who
know that no church in this or foreign
countries has been able to hold the au-
diences that have assembled when it
was announced that DR.. Talmage would
preach will not be surprised that vast
multitudes attempted in vain to hear
his first sermon as pastor in Washington.
The subject of his opening sermon at
lhe national capital was, "All Heaven
Looking On, the text selected being the
famous passage from Hebrews xii, l,
Seeing we also are compassed about
with so great cloud Of witnesses. +"
In this my opening sermon in the ma
tional capital I give you heartiest Chris
tian salutation. I bethink myself of the
privilege of standing in this historic
church, so long presided over by one of
the most remarkable men Of the cen
fury. There are plenty of good ministers
beside DR.. Sunderland, but I do not
know Of any man except himself with
enough brain to have stood successfully
and triumphantly 43 years in this con-
spicuous pulpit. Long distant be the
year when that gospel chieftain shall
put down tho silver trumpet with which
he has marshaled the hosts Of Israel or
sheathe the sword with which he has
struck such mighty blows for God and
righteousness. 1 come to you with the
same gospel that he has preached and to
join you in all kinds of work for max
ing tho world better, and I hope to see
you all in your own homes and have you
all come and see me, but don t all come
at once. And without any preliminary
discourses as to what l propose to do l
begin here and now to cheer you with
the thought that all heaven is sympa-
thetically looking on. Seeing we also
are comprised about with 60 great a
cloud Of witnesses.

AMERICAN MARKSM1N.
Uncle snm's Soldiers Are Accounted the
Finest In the World.

Vl0cSI Al tne w orius
The finest soldier marksmen in the
world are those of the United States
Their skill has been developed under a
system of competition wherein medals
and other badges of honor are awarded
to the victors. In this branch of the
military art the militia is actually ahead
Of the regular army. Only the other day
at Sea Girt, N. j., the national guard
team of the District of Columbia broke
the worlds record at 200, 800 and 600
yards, only three of the men falling be-
low 90 out of possible los. General
Miles said that it was the most marvel
Gus exhibition of long distance firing
that he ever saw. Our rifemen are not
equal to the British at 800, 1000 and
1900 yards. They make speciality Of
those long ranges. But at 200 to 600
yards, where man stands up and is
exposed to the force Of the wind, the
Americans excel In the army soldier
earns this designation Of "marksman"
by making a score of So per cent. If he
does so per cent, he is rated as a sharp
shooter" The highest grade is that of
distinguished marksman, to reach
which requires a score above 80 per
cent.
The war department distributes 176
medals annually. Of these % are gold,
81 silver and 90 bronze. There are six
kinds Of gold medals for various grades
Of achievement, FIVE kinds Of silver
medals and three kinds Of bronze med
ais. All Of them are made at the mint
in Philadelphia. The gold ones are very
handsome Of all of them the finest
bears the design of all Indian shooting
a buffalo with a bow and arrow, with
the legend, First Glass Prize Distin-
guished craftsmanship. 1t contains
500 worth Of gold. However, change
is to be made, and the medals are not
to be made of precious metal in the fu-
ture. The reason is simply that the SOL
dier when hard up is tempted to pawn
his hard earned decoration Of honor.
The national guard of the District
of Columbia, being federal militia, has
the government medals. Everywhere
else the militia uses and pays for such
medals as it chooses. In this matter
there is a movement in the direction of
uniformity, in order that the sharp
shooter in one state may be equal in re-
spect to skill to sharpshooter in an
other state. In Pennsylvania almost
any citizen soldier can be a sharpshoot-
er. All that is required is that he shall
make so per cent at 200 and 500 yards,
and he may shoot the whole season IN
til he gets those scores. In the regular
army O sharpshooter receives silver
cross and pin, which he wears Oh his
left breast. After qualifying as sharp
shooter for three years he gets silver
har, which is attached between the pin
and the cross. For each additional three
years during which he qualities an ex-
ira bar is given to him. Soldiers who
earn the designation of marksman wear
distinctive buttons on the coat collar,
and after three years they receive O
marksman' pin.-Boston Transcript

Letter From Bishop Hall.

Episcopal churches throughout Ver-
mont have received an interesting letter
from Bishop Hall relating to the finan-
cial matters of the dioceses. Among the
prominent subjects is the requirement
upon missionary churches to pay their
proportional stipend to the treasurer of
the missionary committee promptly the
first of the month, TO which will be add
ed the societies. portion and payments
made to clergymen more regularly. He
hopes for the early establishment of a
common fund from which all mission
aries may be paid, perhaps an increasing
stipend, graduated to the length of SER
vice; recommends a rule that in sll
churches each collection be counted and
recorded in the vestry by two persons in
a book kept in the vestry for the pur-
pose, each entry to be certified to by the
two, thus avoiding chances for errors or
questions; reminds churches to obey the
canons of the church requiring four an
nual collections for diocesan missions,
one foreign and one domestic missionary
collection. The last diocesan conven-
ton authorized appropriations requiring
25 per cent. increase in contributions
over former years. The bishop urges
that this will be equaled and possibly
exceeded this year.

An Exciting Hunt.

Nicholas and Chas. Hillard, brothers
aged respectively about nineteen and
seventeen years, went rabbit hunting
Sunday, near the coal kllns, Stamford.
Very unexpectedly they came across a
bear curled up under large log, and as
there were no tracks about, the hunters
concluded that the bear had taken up
his winter quarters there. The guns
were loaded with bird shot, which is
much too light for such game, but the
hunters thought that at such close range
they would be able to kill the bear and
one of them fired. The charge took eff
feet, but instead of bringing death to the
bear it seemed to infuse life into him
and he hustled out from cover and made
off at rapid pace. The hunters fol-
lowed him for half mile and fonnl him
under large rock. They were able to
reach one of his hind legs, by which they
hauled him from cover, and another
charge of shot in the head did the work.
A team was procured and the bear was
taken home. The capture caused great
surprise and much interest in Stamford
and people came considerable distances
to view the carcass, which was estimated
to weigh about 300 pounds.
The carcass was taken to North Adams
Monday, where it was on exhibition at
lord & ArnOld's stable yesterday and it
was viewed Dy large number. The
meat was sold to Harrington Bros butch
ers, and the hide to H. II. Hanley, who
will have rug made of it. The bear
was the largest that has been seen in
this section in years.
