The corner may be a luxurious
Tadema throne, with its thick
cushioned seat and rows of soft
pillows, or it may be latticed
corner with Persian rugs, Oriental
lantern, Bagdad scarfs and curtains
for its characteristics. A Japanese
comes as inexpensive and yet most
picturesque. A huge parti-colored
parasol spreads out its benediction
over a restful couch with fascinat-
ing coverings and rich crepe-cover
ed pillows Japanese rugs and
bamboo screens go to complete the
detail of this wayside shrine of rest.
Or homemade corner of odds
and ends may be a more inter
national affair-constructed by a
Chinaman, upholstered by a Por-
tuguese, spread with Hawaiian
mats, hung with Indian or Eng
lish draperies, and enjoyed by
any other nationality you choose.
Only-if you would rest, be sure
to have the corner arranged so that
you can throw yourself full length.
That is where the tragedy comes
into the cosy corner where it is too
short and your tired feet hang over
the end.

Grandpapa Newman, the "old man" of the Commercial, continues to advertise the editor of the GRAPHIC, for which we return our kindest thanks. The "old man" is so kind and polite to the editor of the "great and glorious" that we can't think unkind of him; in fact, Gfandpapa says he likes us as we'll as he does and, of course, we are not entirely obliyious to that fatherly affection and solicitude which Is so character istie of old age. But the dearly be- loved old man has sprung a surprise on us, In consequence of which we are quite overwhelmed. He says we were once an ardent member of the Salvation Army" which is probably as near the truth as the average statements of the Major. At first blush we were inclined to be bowed down." but upon reflection we remember that a Salvation Army learder was not long ago elected to Congress from Massachusetts, SD the charge may not be SO bad, after all But 1t has not been our good fortune to acquire military title in the Salvation Army or any other kind of an army, and in that the gallant Major has bested us. The truth is, we were never member of the Salvation Army, and never saw one until few years ago ill Chicago; however, hood the writer was member of a Band of Christian workers, a local religious organization similar to the Epworth League and the Young Peoples Society of Christian En- deavor. With the exception that 1t was not Salvation Army, the Major is correct. But the ..old man" did not go far enough; he didn't tell 1t all. He could have also said, that at the youthful age eofsixteen.the of present editor of the GRAPHIC, with others, made .'cold water" campaign In behalf of prohibition in Hancock County, Kentucky, and successfully carried it. And if there is anything else the "old man" would like to know about our youthful experience before we became citizen of Ar kansas, we would be pleased to have him write to Hawesville, Hancock County, Kentucky, and publish the result of his Investigations.

Of Scripture and urged that the study of
the science by investigation amid the ruins
of antiquity be prosecuted with the greatest
patience.
Rev. Prof. Andus Chauford of the Viz
ginia Theological Seminary submitted the
next paper. His essay was very able
and exhaustive in its treatment. He, too,
reviewed the work Of archaeologists and
slightly attacked the spirit and methods
of modern critics. though he deprecated
any intention of undertaking their work.
He declared that row, however, these
realized that they must wait for the
dictum of the inscriptions.
rrof. A. V. Williams Jackson, u. D.,
Phi. D., Of Columbia University New York,
the youngest man in the congress, made
very telling address, often rising to
lofty eloquence as he showed what archae-
| ology had accomplished towards cstab-
fishing the truths of revelation.
Rev. John P Peters, ID. D., OF New York,
the well. known archaeologist and explorer,
gave u very interesting talk, telling what
archaeological exploration had accom-
plished toward reconciling apparent Bible
contradictions and emphasizing the impor-
tance Of its intelligent prosecution: His
address, was made additionally interest
ing by reason of his relation OF persona dis
coveries ill ancient lands.
At 1890 the congress adjourned to go

cises connected with the dedication of
