to stand in the questionable shelter of a
high wall during the whole of a sharp
winters night. Itwas Peter de Blols who,
infuriated by the insensate attacks, ex-
claimed at last. at the end of his pa
tience, ''What has the house Of the Lord
to do with castles? 1t Is the Ark of the
Covenant in temple of Baalim. Either

descend into the level, where there are
rich cbampaigns and fertile valleys. There
is seat for the virgin patroness of our
church ~
Accordingly the site for the new cathe-
oral was chosen by shooting an arrow
from the ramparts of the old town. The
Cathedral OF Salisbury was begnn, and the
inhabitants of old Sarnm actually gath

In 154O the ruins of the castle were still
standing, but the remaining houses were
deserted; only chapel of Our Lady was
maintained and two Wears were appointe
to minister there. Until the time of the
Reformation the two lonely priests offered
their daily mass, intohed their solemn
chants in this ''Sient City of the Dead"
Many of the old monumen s that fill the
wide aisles of the "new'' cathedral date
from the original church; grotesque and
stiff, with obliterated features and mutt
lated forms, they add the last touch o I
dignity to cathedral unique in itself tor

splendor of its stained glass-a glitter of

have much to answer for in Salisbury. but
fortunately they have left free the beau

great cedars cast their heavy shadows
over the quiet grass and every sunken
stone bears faint, half-obliterated epi-
taph.
From Salisbury it is but short carriage
drive to another famous pile. The car

downs; infrequent gIimpses of those
charming pastoral scenes that make all

A SULTAN

A man who was at one time
Sultan of Turkey has been a state
prisoner of that empire during the
past nineteen years. One OF the
most enormous discrepancies OF
state affairs that history has

strange record of this mans
long Imprisonment. A thread OF
romance winding through It adds
a fiction-1ike element to the story.
Among the possibilities OF the eariv
future, in case reverses should befali the
Turkish arms is the deposition OF Sultan
Abdul Hamid. and the elevation to the
throne of the Porte of one who has been
q state prisoner for nineteen years and is
now wearing out his life behind the bars

Sea OF Azov Frozen Over.

The first time in the remembrance Of
the living generation the Sea Of Azov is
frozen over solid. The Don River and
the Sea Of Azov froze very suddenly
In a rather unexpected way, and as a
consequence a number Of vessels were
aken unawares and stopped on their
way. More than twelve steamers are
helpless in the ice between Azov and
Rostov, and a large number Of vessels
are dispersed In various parts Of this
immense frozen shoot Of water, first
tossed about by the violent storm and
then held fast in the glacial embrace.
While the River Don has frequently
frozen over there is no record OF the
Sea of AZov having frozen solid In this
century.
