il did it Mt Sunday school celebration
in one Of the outlying wards. The
church was crowded with fond parents
and friends to enjoy the exhibition OF
their youngsters going through their re-
ligious exercises. The participants were
all boys ranging from 2 to 10 years OF
age, and they looked angelo, the most

by his cherubic appearance. as the chill

reverent attitude, strewing flowers be-
fore their religious teachers and singing
in sweet, boyish treble. Just as the song
swelled to its fullest the boy in front OF
the cherubic lad by mischance trod on

THE PORTLAND VASE.
a Masterpiece That Ls.g Puzzled tho An
tiquarians OF Europe.

- Aesuerpioce Long fuxxieo tho An
tiquarians OF Europe.
The workmanship of the vase and
the material OF which it is composed
long exercised the ingenuity of some OF
the greatest antiquarians in Europe.
Breval believed it 10 be chalcedony;
Bartoli, Montfaucon and others, sar-
donyI; Count Fezi, amethyst; De Ia
Chsusse and Nilsson, agate, while
Vcnuti decided that it was paste
Wsdgwood's examination Of the vase
proved the last opinion to be the correct
one. A layer of white glass had been
fused ON dark blue body, the exquisite
figures being afterward produced in this
layer by cutting down to the blue by
the gem engraver, after the manner or
real canoes. Wedgwood also discovered
that the vase had at some time been
broken and repaired. 1t was his opinion
that the head which formed the bottom
Of the vase was piece OF some other
work that had been cut down and in
serted in the place Of the original bot
tom, which had probably been destroyed
at the time the vase itself was broken.
BY the autumn of 1889 Wedgwood,
after many failures, had succeeded in
his arduous undertaking, and the first
perfect copy, made in the famous jasper
ware, was finished. Several more copies
were subsequently, made, though the
exact number does not seem at all GER
tain. These Were of various degrees of
perfection and varied in size and color.
Originally sold at from 30 TO 80 guineas
each, according to excellence of finish,
time has, Of course, considerably en-
I hanced their value, and some years ago,
at the sale of the Martineau collection,
one sold for G294.
In 1910 the Duke of Portland placed
| the vase in the British museum, where
some 30 years afterward it was wantonly
| broken to atoms by drunken visitor.
After being skillfully repaired it was
| placed for additional safety with the
| gems.
| Authorities are by no means agreed
as to the subject of the bas-relief, though
various explanations have been offered.
! According to the museum catalogue,
the composition represents on the OBJ
verse Thetis consenting to be the bride
of Paleus in the presence of Poseidon
and Eros Oh the reverse, Peleus ana
Thetis on Mount Pelion, and on the
bottom of the vase (now detached) o
youthful bust of Paris. Good Words.

Uraneis Drake and Cecil Rhodes.

You ignore the fact that there were
two brakes, as there are two Cecil
Rhodeses. When brakes consummate
seamanship and audacious courage sue
cessfully resisted the armada and sent
the Duke of Sidonia back TO st. Mary
Port among his orange trees" he be-
came, and will justly remain for all
time, an English hero. But eight years
previously Drake stole the church plate
of Lima. when Spain was at peace with
England.
His robbery disgraced England and
himself In the remarkable volume OF
letters and state papers relating to Eng
lish affairs edited by Major Sharp
Hume, from thsarchives at Simancas,
have counted 80 instances in which the
restitution of brakes plumber is referred
to by Dr. Mendoza in language which
might be employed today by the agent
general of the Transvaal. There was
nothing admirable in the episode of the
Lima plate; quite the reverse. Is it
not, therefore, a good thing to distin-
guish between the good and the bad in
Drake as in Mr.. Rhodes? If Drake had
been broken in 1879 for his theft of the
Lima chalices and patens, he would
never have had the opportunity of win
ming half the three days battles in the
channel in August, 1888. On the other
hand, to condone the piratical expedi-
tions of the earlier part Of brakes ca
reer because later on he acted nobly
and as a true Englishman is unneces-
sary.
Should not tire same thing hold good
about Mr.. Rhodes? We may admire and
be grateful for his stand against Ger
many while condemning his plot
against n friendly. state and the Stock
Exchange aroma of the whole transac-
| ton. London Chronicle.

Cooper Not Yet Neglected.

In commenting in Longman's Maya
zine on the recent Introduction to the
Study of American Literature" Mr.. An
drew Lang declares that Cooper "seems
to be good deal neglected now. No
body goes on the trail with Natty Bum
po (sic)." 1t may be that Cooper is
neglected in England, but he has not
been neglected by all recent British au-
thors, for Robert Louis Stevenson read
him and praised him and borrowed
from him, and Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
told an American friend not long ago
that he had just been reading Cooper
through and through with constantly
increasing appreciation. And Cooper Is
not neglected by the publishers either
in France or in America. In Paris not

Carr of the Ears.

During this "sweaty weather" the
dirt will accumulate in the ears of the
little tots old enough to play out OF
doors, and it must be remembered that
ear wax is not dirt, and mothers ought
10 be very careful in cleaning children's
ears not to gouge out the wax with sharp
pointed instruments. The wax is intend
ed to protect the car and should not be
disturbed, except that part which has
already worked its way out Another
thing about ears is that they should not
be pulled and boxed. Perhaps this may
seem the most convenient and convinc-
ing mode Of punishment when the child
is naughty and the mother is tired and
cross, but it should never be INDUCED
in Both pulling and boxing may in
flame tho tissue that holds the auricle
in place and induce hardness Of hearing
and even perfect deafness The drum
head or elastic membrane just within
the ear has often been seriously injured
and severe illness caused by severely
boxing the ears. -Philadelphia Times.
